When Warren Buffet, one of the richest men in the world, ponies up $1,000,000,000 to anybody who can author a perfect bracket, you know that year's field of 64 (68) is chock full of potential Cinderella stories. You don't become rich on bad bets.

In fact, college basketball experts echoed similar opinions last fall. These pundits didn't believe the country had a front-runner to win the 2013-14 National Championship. Fast forward four months and the narrative remains the same with No. 11 seeds having as likely of a shot to cut down the nets in Dallas as the four No. 1 seeds. The Gonzagas, Butlers, Wichita States, and sleepers of college basketball tournaments past will welcome a handful a new fraternity brothers this March, according to WhatIfSports.com.
Using our highly sophisticated college basketball simulation engine, which bases its predictions on the statistical DNA of each team, we "played" the entire 2014 NCAA basketball tournament 1,001 times. Our simulation predictions remove the popular "eye-tests," hones in on statistical strengths and weaknesses and adjusts for roster trends including injuries (Embiid), depth chart changes and each player's average minutes per game.
So, after 1,001 simulations of the 2014 NCAA basketball tournament, the computers selected the Louisville Cardinals (14.0 percent chance of winning championship) as the favorite to cut down the nets in Dallas. The computer simulations picked the Villanova Wildcats to have the second-best chance of winning the title at 8.2 percent. No. 11 seed Iowa, Michigan State and Syracuse round out the top five tournament favorites.
2014 NCAA Tournament Sleepers
Because the WhatIfSports.com college basketball simulation engine removes the bias from predictions, its 2014 NCAA Tournament upset picks can be viewed as data-driven selections with no sense of favoritism. The statistical makeup of the teams remains the deciding factor in these NCAA Tournament predictions.
For instance, a quick review of Iowa's resume would highlight the Hawkeyes' stumble down the stretch losing six out of their last seven games. However, the team finished 10th in the nation in scoring 82 points per game and seventh in rebounds with 40.7 per game. They also finished 11th in scoring margin at +11.9 points per game. Add all those statistical ingredients together and the recipe for an upset is probable in the Midwest Region.
In the South Region, No. 3 seed Syracuse possesses a 35 percent chance of reaching the Elite 8, while No. 4 seed UCLA has a 33.9 percent chance to meet the Orange in the regional finals.
In the East Region, it's no surprise No. 4 Michigan State manages to simulate its way into the Elite 8 as the team's late-season surge is more indicative of the way they played early on when the team was healthy. The Spartans' scoring margin was +10.6 during the regular season and +12.7 over their last three wins.
The West Region is where the simulation engine's statistical sobriety comes into question, but it likes No. 9 seed, and one of the preseason favorites, Oklahoma State led by Marcus Smart to reach the Elite 8 to face No. 6 seed Baylor.
Dayton's First-Round Simulations
Some NCAA bracket pool rules may ask you to predict Tuesday's first-round games between Mt. St. Mary's and Albany and North Carolina State and Xavier and Wednesday's Iowa vs. Tennessee and Texas South vs. Cal Poly matchups. Because our 2014 Bracket Preview is formatted to simulate a 64-team field, we simulated these first round games 1,001 times and advanced those teams to the second round.
Despite the 13-19 black eye of a record entering the field of 68, the simulation engine believes the Cal Poly Mustangs will survive Dayton and advance to St. Louis to face No. 1 seed Louisville. In the other bid to become the sweet No. 16 sacrificial lamb, Mount Saint Mary's beat the Great Danes of Albany 59 percent of the time.

Thread: Bestia the 2013 Moomba Mojo
Threaded View
He only had 1 other dealer demo for it and then it went to his shop for storage. Been there ever since.
Me and Claudia believe a lot in the saying, If its meant to be it will be, and Karma. We both find it amazing that when Shane came to the Cali Demo with this boat, it was almost exactly how we would have ordered it, and it was Grey, a new 2013 color. It matches the truck almost perfectly. The only thing more we could have asked for was metalic grey which is not an option on the Moomba line. I dont know if Shane got a picture of our truck to color match this or if it was completly faith. Either way we are very pleased.
As for the Skylon tower, AWS is pushing real hard to get SC to make that the standard tower, they are super impressed with it.
I will have to get close up pictures of those Racks, the tower and upper rack actually have Moomba Engraved in them. They are nice.
Prop-- no i dont have the 1617 i had on the LSV as i sold it to a forum guy here. There is actually another prop even bigger and better that fits the Mojo that i will get if the prop i have now isnt good enough. Time will tell as when we had the boat loaded with surf ballast it wasnt having any issues like the LSV did.
I might try plasti dip on the speakers to make them white. I like the Exiles Black personally but i might have to spray them white and see how i like it. I mean hey if i dont like it i can peel it off LOL.

NSA's websites uses cartoons, games to recruit future spies
WASHINGTON – The turtle wearing a hat backward, baggy jeans and purple sunglasses looks just like other cartoon characters that marketers use to make products like cereal and toys appealing to children.
But the reptile, known as T. Top, who says creating and breaking codes is really "kewl," is pushing something far weightier: the benefits of the National Security Agency.
"In the world of diplomacy, knowing what your enemy is planning helps you to prepare," the turtle says. "But it is also important that your enemies do not know what you have planned. It is the mission of the National Security Agency and the Central Security Service to learn what it can about its potential enemies to protect America's government communications."
With cartoon characters, interactive games and puzzles, the NSA's CryptoKids website for "future codemakers and codebreakers" tries to educate children about spying duties and recruit them to work for the agency.
As the website says: "It is never too early to start thinking about what you want to do when you grow up."
To enter the "How Can I Work for the N.S.A." section of the site, children click on a picture of a bucktoothed rabbit, who says in his biography that he likes listening to hip-hop and rock. In his free time, the bunny says, he participates in cryptography competitions with other cartoon characters named Decipher Dog and CryptoCat.
"As a signals analyst, you will work with cutting edge technology to recover, understand and derive intelligence from a variety of foreign signals found around the world," children are told in the future employment section. "You will also attempt to identify the purpose, content, and user of these signals to provide critical intelligence to our nation's leaders."
Civil libertarians, not surprisingly, said the website was propaganda. Experts on early childhood education and marketing to children said the tactics used by the NSA were similar to the way McDonald's puts toys in its Happy Meals.
"This is the NSA putting on its best face and the way it wants to present itself without anyone else providing their opinions or making noise – and for children, it may make them feel good about what the NSA does," said Nina Huntemann, a professor at Suffolk University who studies the social impact of new media.
"Is that necessarily bad? I'm not that pessimistic; it happens all the time," Huntemann said, referring to efforts by the government, companies and educators to promote messages to children through cartoons and games. "But these sites have been shown over and over to be ineffective at actually connecting with people."
Vanee Vines, a spokeswoman for the NSA, said that "like many government agencies," the NSA "has a special website for children."
"The site," she said, "is designed to help children learn about cryptology and NSA's mission to defend the nation."
It also, apparently, offers timely warnings.
Although the Internet is a "great" place, Cy, a site cartoon character, advises children, "there are people out there who don't have your best interests in mind – stop and think before sharing private information, especially on social networking websites."
After reading Cy's message, children can enter the website and begin to "Meet the Gang" and play the games that allow them to make secret codes.

When her elderly mother died in May, Jeanie Picardi and her siblings had to clean out her apartment.
Picardi expected to find a lot of unused medication because her mother had been ill for a long time. But she was shocked when she filled up two garbage bags with pain killers like Oxycontin and morphine, along with drugs for depression, anxiety, and heart problems.
Unsure about what to do with the drugs, Picardi called a hospice nurse, a social worker and a pharmacist for advice.
"When they said 'flush em,' I'm thinking now this is an environmental hazard," says Picardi. "You know, the whole idea of putting morphine down the toilet and then how well does it get cleaned out? I don't know those things, but after you're told by three people you figure well it must get cleaned out okay."
Actually, it doesn't get cleaned out. For several years now researchers have been finding trace amounts of pharmaceuticals in many of the nation's water bodies. Highly sensitive new tests have helped scientists detect dozens and dozens of chemicals, from depression and cholesterol medications to ibuprofen and caffeine.
Researchers suspect that many of these drugs are simply excreted in human waste. But they also say many drugs are needlessly flushed into the system as a method of disposing of unused or expired medication.
It's this latter practice that most concerns members of the Minnesota Medical Association. Dr. Sam Hall, who serves on the MMA subcommittee that drew up the EPA request, says so far there's no evidence the chemicals pose a major health hazard for the public or the environment.
But he says no one has spent much time studying the matter either.
"There's enough to know that this is at least a theoretical problem," says Hall. "Beyond that, we know that some studies have shown that for certain classes of chemicals, one being endocrine active compounds, that those chemicals can have adverse effects particularly in low concentrations on aquatic life - frogs, fish and the like."
Endocrine active compounds include substances like birth control pills which contain estrogen. These compounds, even in very low doses, have been shown to feminize male fish.
The EPA has been studying endocrine disrupters for several years. Gary Ankley, a toxicologist in the EPA's Office of Research and Development, works on the project in Duluth.
Ankley says it's easy to duplicate the effect of endocrine disrupters in the lab. But he says other types of pharmaceutical typically are not designed to promote physical changes in people or animals. So if they have an effect, it may be less obvious and it could take years to develop. Ankley says it seems like an issue worth studying.
"The reality is that a lot of pharmaceuticals are designed to be potent, that is, effective at very low concentrations," says Ankley. "And just because they're at low concentrations in the environment, doesn't mean that they don't have risk. And so yeah, probably we need to take a look at these."
For now the EPA isn't actively studying other types of pharmaceuticals in the water. The American Medical Association will urge the EPA to ramp up its pharmaceutical research and help develop guidelines for disposing of unused drugs.
Until then, there's a range of advice depending on who's giving it, which isn't very comforting to people like Jeanie Picardi.
"Nobody has a good answer. Nobody even has what you feel is the right answer," says Picardi. "Sometimes I think back and I think I should have worked harder. I should have done this. Or I should have done that. And then I think I didn't have it in me. You know, neither did my siblings. None of us had that energy to work harder on getting rid of them."
Picardi wishes some of the drugs could be re-used. But current regulations across much of the U.S. prohibit that.
Many caretakers still recommend flushing to ensure that drugs don't fall into the hands of small children. The Minnesota Office of Environmental Assistance doesn't recommend flushing. Instead the state agency recommends destroying the drugs with a liquid like water, wrapping them tightly in a plastic container like a margarine tub and then throwing them in the trash.

Hello, I just can't download any sounds. The download begins but after a couple seconds the speed of the download goes down to nothing and it just doesn't end. I don't know if this is a server problem or a problem on my end but i've tried both of my web browsers and they didn't work. This has been going on for a week now, don't know if you are aware. What can I do about this? Thanks :]
Hi Kafesism,
some other users also reported the same problem and we're currently looking at it. Sometimes it seems that after retrying the download goes fine, but that is not always the case. We will try to fix that as soon as possible!
Thank you for your understanding!
Yes, when I retry the download it downloads a bit more of the file but I have to keep retrying to download a 5mb file in 10 minutes. Thanks for replying, I hope it gets fixed :]
It has been quite challenging to find the problem, but we think it's probably fixed now. We would greatly appreciate feedback about this issue. Does anyone still get stalled downloads?
I believe it has been fixed indeed. Thank you for your work. I have downloaded a couple of files and it never bugged out so its cool. If it happens again I will give more feedback on this, thanks!

Hi Gerard,
I try to download a large file and the speed is now 25-30 kB/s (1.15 hour foe 116 MB (byte), 2% of my normal speed.
also when I try to scan sounds with the play-button the speed is the same.
The user-problem is than that the next file will not start up as quickly as normal and users will leave your-our beautiful site frustrated.
ps no problems with my high-speed Internet.
system windows 7, newest Opera, Firefox.
country Holland
Thanks for helping
i get stalled downloads...the one or two sounds that i managed to actually download were garbled and unusable. very frustrating
Yes I am having this problem once again... can't download sounds because they get suspended ( they stop after 1 or 2 mb gets downloaded)
Thanks tech-team for speeding up the system. It works fine again.
I am having the same problem. Downloads just hang half-way through. Very frustrating.
Freesound works with download accelerators, which means it supports "resume download" option if connection is broken.
My down load problem is, when I click on download, my downloading software says"link provided is invalid". The software is a download accelerator, but, its always worked in the past. Does anybody have any suggestions?
I'm still getting stalls like earlier stated, seems the pause and resume method still works somewhat. But it really gets annoying with larger files. Hope this is still getting worked on.
I'm having this problem today as well. 2 of the 3 files I tried to download failed after about 3MB, even on retry. The one small one I downloaded went fine.
Getting the same problem as well. Sometime's the download will proceed quickly but half way though it brings up 'network error' and stops. Bah, I was hoping I could use the samples here for a mixing assignment.
I have the same problem: the download starts but suddenly the speed starts to drop and the download never ends. Some times the download works thought, but normally this problem happens at least to me almost every time I try to download
Same problem here. Some of my students are reporting it as well. One large file continually stalled for me using Safari but only stalled once using Firefox. http://freesound.org/people/kyles/sounds/51787/ Does the browser have anything to do with it?
I haven't been able to download anything for a long while now no matter what I do.
Having the same problem! unable to download any files.
It starts out great, but after a couple of seconds the DL just slowsdown
and finally says "network error"

I hope someone from Ford sees that sight. The paint/stripe combos are awesome.
nice photoshop....looks real.
back views of the production version
Holy F'in crap! Someone needs to walk those over to Ford and punch them in the face if they don't hire you RIGHT now. All those schemes are so dead on to the theme of those particular Mustang versions.
Nice work... ...I want the Bullit one. The SVT one looks a lot like a Countach (Lambo) don't you think?
My Corvette lovin' girlfriend is even impressed with the front end of the Shelby (open bumper) example.
where are the backs to the prostreet ones?
Never did them, think I may be out of space to add to the site anyway. From behind it would pretty much look the same as the 429's. I really don't want to figure those paint jobs out from behind either!
Vyto, why don't you honestly work on contacting Ford and push your concepts to them... If Ford actually made the cars to look like these they would make a killing. Incredible thing is, they're not really changed much from the actual version... its just the subtleties that make the huge difference. They all add up to make an incredible looking car.
Actually, they have the link to my site...
Those concepts are AMAZING. I haven't seen anything make the '05 look so damn good. I can't say enough good things about your work vyto2. I can't stop looking at them and I can't pick a favorite because they are all done so well. Excellent Excellent work. Keep it up man.
The point is not getting these in the hands of Ford, it's getting them in the hands of the aftermarket.

O'Neill undecided over captaincy
Northern Ireland manager Michael O'Neill is delighted Aaron Hughes has chosen to end his brief international retirement - but has not yet decided if the Fulham defender will reclaim the captain's armband.
O'Neill has included Hughes in his first squad as national boss ahead of the February 29 friendly against Norway after the 32-year-old reversed the decision he made in September to end his Northern Ireland career after 13 years and 79 caps.
O'Neill said: "The captaincy is not something I've given that much consideration to at the moment. There are options, but we have three friendlies coming up so I'll look at the situation and have the right person in place for the Russia match."
While there were no brand new faces in O'Neill's squad - each of the 24 players has been capped at least once - he recalled Burnley's Michael Duff, Kilmarnock's Dean Shiels and Newcastle's Shane Ferguson to the set-up.
Duff and Shiels had both been overlooked for the majority of predecessor Nigel Worthington's reign, while there were concerns last year Ferguson was considering declaring for the Republic of Ireland.
O'Neill is unconcerned about the past, though, and is particularly excited by what Shiels and Ferguson can bring to the squad.
"All the players have been picked on merit and current form. What happened in the past is irrelevant, it's not a factor for me," he said.
"I'm building relationships with these players now and someone like Dean is having a fantastic season with Kilmarnock and scoring goals from an advanced midfield position. He's a player who is on top of his game at the moment, but his international opportunities have been limited.
"Shane is a player who can play in both positions on the left and is consistently knocking on the door at Newcastle. He's a young player we want to make the next step. He has the ability to have a good Premier League career and also a long and successful international one as well.
"I didn't have to think long and hard about including either of those players."

Confidence intervals in stationary autocorrelated time series
In this study we examine in covariance stationary time series the consequences of constructing confidence intervals for the population mean using the classical methodology based on the hypothesis of independence. As criteria we use the actual probability the confidence interval of the classical methodology to include the population mean (actual confidence level), and the ratio of the sampling error of the classical methodology over the corresponding actual one leading to equality between actual and nominal confidence levels. These criteria are computed analytically under different sample sizes, and for different autocorrelation structures. For the AR(1) case, we find significant differentiation in the values taken by the two criteria depending upon the structure and the degree of autocorrelation. In the case of MA(1), and especially for positive autocorrelation, we always find actual confidence levels lower than the corresponding nominal ones, while this differentiation between these two levels is much lower compared to the case of AR(1).

Once a week I join 20 of my classmates to discuss all of the wonders of being a teenager in a class entitled "Choices and Challenges." For the past few weeks, an attorney and part-time police officer has come to my class to teach us about sticky situations that one could possibly end up in and to give us tips on the best way to get out of those situations. The goal is for us to learn how to always make sure we are in a safe environment, and if we aren't, what we should do to change that.
He has a specific way of teaching by incorporating hypothetical scenarios into his lectures to paint a clear picture for the students--using fake names to make fun of the obnoxious kid at a party or the irresponsible 16-year-old behind the wheel. In all of these theoretical situations, the kid making the mistakes was a boy, and the person in danger of getting hurt or getting into trouble was a girl.
As teenagers, it is in our DNA to make mistakes. High school is a transitional period, both emotionally and physically, and it is impossible to avoid all of the bumps on the road to improvement.
If girls are told from a young age that it is not okay to make mistakes, it is wired in their brains that risks should not be taken and progress should not be made.
How are women supposed to meet men at the top if we aren't allowed to make the same mistakes on the way up?
Boys are encouraged to make mistakes while girls are expected to get it right the first time. In these stories, the girls were also made out to be damsels in distress that required protection at all times. While it is the sad truth that girls have to be more careful in certain situation than boys do, it is wrong to only teach girls to constantly be on the lookout and not instruct boys on what they shouldn't be doing to make girls uncomfortable.
The speaker jokingly gave an example of a boy leading an intoxicated girl into a private room, prompting some chuckles from the boys in the class. The girls began to furrow their brows in confusion about what part of the story was so funny, and the speaker continued by advising us to separate the couple, no matter how happy the boy looked.
The subtleties of double standards in his lecture were never-ending and began to seem so expected that I eventually blocked them out. I shouldn't have to block out advice from an educated attorney and policeman, and I was frustrated that I felt there wasn't much for me to learn even though he was supposed to serve as a helpful resource. If the message of equality doesn't start to resonate with everyone, girls will continue to block out the white noise of ignorance as others laugh at what seem to be harmless jokes.
Let's Chat!
What do you think of the double-standard that Danielle points out? What can we do to change this way of thinking? Tell us about it below.

Cagayan de Oro City, found in the southern part of the Philippines has a vast shoreline. This means that CDOC, as it is fondly called by locals has many beaches, which makes this city the place to be this summer!!!!!
Although the sand is not white but gray, it is still very fine, so walking by the beach is a very pleasant and enjoyable experience.
Let's start with the most accesible beach – Bonbon beach, Cagayan De Oro Philippines. From the city proper, you can see jeepneys going to Bonbon. For less than P20 pesos (1 way, $.50), one can reach Bonbon. There is no entrance fee!!!! The huts can be rented for P200 – 400 ($5-10) for the whole day. If you plan to stay for an hour or two, and you do not want to rent a hut, just spread your towel under the Talisay trees, and run to the sea, no cost incurred – no fee collected!
This may not be a white beach comparable to Boracay, but picture this – fine sand, coconut and Talisay trees all over, fresh air, and all for free! If you get hungry, just buy grilled Tulingan (similar to tuna, at P30 or less than $1) and puso (rice cooked inside coconut leaves, P15 $.30), and eat with your bare hands, only at Bonbon beach, Cagayan de Oro!
It is best to come early, so you can choose your spot, whether a hut or under a tree. The early mornings at the Bonbon are very relaxing. You can see fishermen in their bancas just arriving from overnight fishing, and you can buy fish if you want. You can just listen to the birds while watching the calm sea.
The nights are also magical. Cool air, cool beach water, and the aroma of fish grilled right before your eyes make the nights equally enchanting.
For those who want to stay overnight, there are huts with rooms and depending on your budget, the price ranges from P500-P1500/ hut.

ASHWAUBENON - Titletown is rolling out the red carpet for the 2014 WIAA girls state basketball tournament. It tips off Thursday at the Resch Center in Ashwaubenon. It's the second year in a row that the venue will host the event.
The Green Bay area made a slam dunk the first time hosting the WIAA girls state basketball championships. It brought in around 40,000 people.
"The event was so well received by the community last year, and the girls really liked it," Ken Wachter, President and CEO of PMI Entertainment Group.
Year two is expected to steal the show once again.
- Out-of-town fans: click here for things to do in the Green Bay area
- Complete tournament coverage from our High School GameTime page
Workers prepped the court at the Resch Center Wednesday morning, putting logos on the hardwood.
Unlike the past, fans can now buy tickets in advance. And organizers say there's more.
"Some youth girls basketball teams are going to be ambassadors on Saturday where the championship teams can go out on the floor with them," said Wachter.
Distributing t-shirts, posters, and more throughout the area, tourism officials are ready to welcome players and fans.
"We want to continue to build our brand as a community and the brand of the WIAA tournament here in our community," said Greater Green Bay Convention and Visitors Bureau President Brad Toll.
Area hotels are also getting ready to check in teams, families, and fans.
"We're taking that one step further and decorating the lobby, bringing their school colors in," said Jen Naze with Ramada Plaza.
Some high tech hotel key cards are new this year. The front welcomes teams and fans. On the back there is a QR code. You can scan it with your smart phone and download an app designed to enhance the overall tournament experience.
"That will give them information on restaurants, hotels, they can get directions from one place to another on the app," said Toll.
Northeast Wisconsin snatched the tournament away from Madison scoring a contract through 2020.
"Lot of jitters last year with could we make that happen, so for us coming in as the WIAA, now it's about enhancing that experience," said WIAA Associate Director Deb Hauser.
Hauser says the little touches make a big impact.
"A lot of people came up to me last year as they were leaving saying, 'We're coming back this was awesome. We can park, we can walk to the venue, we went shopping, out to eat, it was very fan friendly,'" said Hauser.
Tourism officials say the event brought in $3 million last year.
Teams are expected to begin arriving Wednesday evening for the tournament which runs Thursday through Saturday.

Bishop of Down and Connor Noel Treanor has expressed his concern and dismay at news that the Marie Stopes organisation is to offer abortion services at a private clinic in Belfast.
In a statement last night, Bishop Treanor said the opening of the facility in the diocese would further undermine the sanctity and dignity of human life in society.
The private clinic is due to open next Thursday at Great Victoria Street in central Belfast.
The clinic will offer non-surgical abortions to women who are up to nine weeks' pregnant.
In recent years, an average of almost 50 legal abortions have been carried out in Northern Ireland at National Health Service clinics.

In a district beleaguered by budget cuts and underperforming students, Deborah Ford is hoping to bridge the achievement gap through the use of comic books.
"They are easy to use and kids want to read them anyway. If teachers would just use them, their kids would read," she said.
Ford, the resource librarian for the San Diego Unified School District, makes it her mission to inform educators about ways to implement comic books into their lesson plans.
She began speaking across the country and Canada in 2003, sharing how to increase the effectiveness of libraries on behalf of the Bureau of Education & Research. Over the years that evolved into advocating for comics as a means of improving literacy.
"Reading is reading. We just want kids to be literate," said Ford.
Ford now runs a series of one-hour workshops for educators called "Saturday Matinees" at the district's Media Center. The first workshop was held July 17. The subject: comic books — or what Ford calls graphic novels.
Organizers of the world's largest pop-culture convention, Comic-Con International, took notice of Ford's efforts and asked her to serve as a panel speaker for the "Comics in the Classroom" discussion on Saturday at the San Diego Convention Center.
Sitting alongside Ford will be Anastasia Betts, instructor at UCLA's extension program, Christina Blanch, anthropology instructor at Ball State University and Tracy White, instructor at New York University.
During the last decade, comics have emerged as a teaching tool, showing up in classrooms nationwide through initiatives such as The Comic Book Project. The American Library Association began ranking the top 10 graphic novels for teens in 2007. Higher education has also gotten into the game with the Center for Cartoon Studies in Vermont, founded in 2005, teaching the craft of creating graphic novels. Publishers also are following suit.
"So many publishers are thinking along the lines of classroom use, often including lesson plans and discussion points in comic books," Ford said.
Topics vary from history to science, to classic literature and fantasy. Award-winning "Amelia Earhart," as well as "Max Axiom: Super Scientist" and Art Spiegelman's Pulitzer Prize-winning "Maus: A Survivor's Tale" have become popular among students, Ford said. Additionally, the medium's visual presentation has shown to be beneficial for English learners and reading comprehension.
Morse High, Pacific Beach Middle and Baker Elementary are among the San Diego campuses that have adopted some form comic book education.
Baker Elementary School's library assistant Raquel Gonzales doesn't need to be convinced about the nexis between comics and literacy.
"I grew up reading comic books. I think it is a great steppingstone for those who don't want to pick up Harry Potter," Gonzales said. "I think it has opened up not only a whole genre, but accessibility to reading for them. They just fly off the shelves."
In May, she wrote letters to local comic book shops, asking for donations for the school library, which had been closed the year prior due to budget cuts. Southern California Comics obliged, and donated 300 comic books to the school. Thank you letters written by the pupils, many adorned with comics, were sent to the store owner.
According to Comic-Con Spokesman David Glanzer, education-related uses for comic books have been included at the convention for at least two decades.
"A lot of people don't realize that in addition to the glitz and the glam of Comic-Con, there are a lot of panels that have the educational element to them, whether it's this one or [others]," he said.
The Comics in the Classroom panel is slated for Saturday from 3:30 to 4:30 p.m.

Gothic Mysteries and Research
Information supplied by Ayn Hunt
While I was in the middle of writing my first mystery, we had a most unusual visitor who'd appear, then disappear, seemingly at will. At first, he seemed oblivious of us and gave the impression he wanted to be left alone…and we were all willing to let him go his own way. Anyone who could walk through walls the way he could had our utmost respect.
But the more often he appeared, the more curious I became about what we were dealing with here. At the time, I knew nothing about ghosts, wasn't even sure I believed they existed, so I started researching from scratch. And this is how my mysteries changed from who-dun-its to Gothics.
For example, in my first book, Unwilling Killers, I changed the setting from an old, dilapidated house to an old haunted house which I researched not far from my home. I'd seen it, been in it, knew of its reputation, but never thought much about it. Being a stickler for realism for my books though, I wrote to the local historical society which proved to be a wealth of information about it, even sending me full-color pictures of every room.
The noise the ancient housekeeper hears is consistent with both that of ghosts and humans both. This element was crucial, as I had to figure out the limits of the powers of levitation for ghosts to make it seem realistic, while a skeptic could believe otherwise. Those noise and movement had to satisfy both as being from ghosts and humans. So I found out and I those limits of ghosts by doing research, primarily on the Net, but also using some books I picked up at a second-hand book store.
For the secret passageways, I used the color pictures of the back stairways which the historical society had sent. One of them, in particular, was ideal for what I had in mind.
In my second book, Obsessed, which has the same characters in the first book of two little old ladies who've taken to trying to solve old murders with their niece (who tries vainly to keep them out of trouble), I had to figure out the personalities of ghosts, which was challenging. I found out that a person's temperament doesn't change after death. So if a person was mean and ornery in life, their ghost would be the same way. Conversely, if a person was laid back and easy-going, they'd manifest the same traits.
For my third book, The Haunting, I used a combination of all methods for the setting, using color pictures, but also how such a house would look when getting ready for the wrecking ball to destroy it, so I had to research demolition techniques to get it set in my mind.
A collection of ghosts, one of whom was a small-time hood, plays an essential role in trying to kill both Jessica, the niece, and one of the old ladies (Emily, the one who's a physic), so I researched con-artists, which was interesting to say the very least.
Then I featured a killer, also a small-time hood, very much alive, who also wants to kill Jessica and Emily, so I researched methods of murder with things readily available in a house which is about to be destroyed. The transformation however of this live killer to a ghost was the most challenging part, and which, in the end, I used part fact-part fiction.
The part about the ghost chasing Jessica to insert itself into her body in an attempt to reclaim life, I've found though, is true. If a soul thinks the body is dead, they'll often depart, and an unscrupulous ghost can insert itself into that body. I thought I was making this up at the time but I found out later, it can happen.
My fourth mystery which I haven't finished yet, will use a Doppelganger, which is a spiritual double we all have. Legend has it that if a person sees his Doppelganger, he'll die, but my research has proven this isn't necessarily true. Many famous people have seen their double, including a local ghostbuster I talked to recently, and still live to tell about it.
So that's basically it. Most of us who write mysteries of various types do a lot of research both before writing and during the process as questions come up. Today as never before, realism and checking and double-checking our facts and methods are crucial.

ARLINGTON, Texas -- Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo suffered a broken left collarbone early in the second quarter of Monday's game against the New York Giants.
The injury occurred with 12:07 left, when Giants linebacker Michael Boley drove Romo into the ground after the quarterback had released a pass. Romo landed on his left shoulder, and was replaced by Jon Kitna.
"I didn't know that it was broken," Romo said. "I guess I was kind of in shock. When it happens, the body kind of goes into shock, so I had a hard time breathing. But I tried catching my breath, and when I did it was hard to move the shoulder. I felt like it was kind of a sprain, maybe, just a good one."
Romo initially wanted to re-enter the game, but soon left for the locker room to be examined. He returned to the sideline in the third quarter out of his pads and wearing a sling.
Romo finished 5-of-7 for 39 yards and a touchdown in the 41-35 loss. Kitna, playing for the first time since 2008, completed 16-of-33 passes for 187 yards and two scores.

Subject: David Anderson re Anderson database
Date: Mon, 12 Oct 1998 18:33:27 -0400
Dear David,
I was interested to hear of your database on the Anderson family locally. I
wonder if you have any information on the following:-
James Anderson(1775-183- probably the son of John ANDERSON and Marion
CRICHTON) married Mary Dear(1777-1834) on 7th June 1802 in Arbroath. They
had the following children-
Somerville ANDERSON 1803 Arbroath
John ANDERSON 1804 Arbroath(married Elizabeth CHALMERS 1st April 1826
Isabel ANDERSON 1806 Arbroath
William ANDERSON 1808 Arbroath
Cecilia Burges ANDERSON 1811 Dundee(apparently named after her
grandfather's second wife -John ANDERSON married Cecilia BURGES 1810
Arbroath. Cecilia Burges ANDERSON married Thomas LIDDLE of Edinburgh
Dear ANDERSON 1816 Arbroath
John ANDERSON(1804-1852) married Elizabeth CHALMERS(1795 - 1859) in 1826
Arbroath. They had the following children-
James ANDERSON and George Webster Wannan ANDERSON(twins) born 1826 St
Alexander ANDERSON 1828 St Vigeans
William ANDERSON 1829 St Vigeans
Isobel Dear ANDERSON 1831 St Vigeans
Catherine ANDERSON 1833 St Vigeans
John ANDERSON 1835 St Vigeans
Annabella ANDERSON 1837 St Vigeans
David Corsar ANDERSON 1839
Patrick Allan ANDERSON 1842 Arbroath
Margaret Ritchie ANDERSON 1844 Arbroath
The family moved to Dundee sometime after 1844.
James(born 1826) married Susan HUNTER in 1854 in Liff, Benvie and
Invergowrie. They had three known children - James born 1855, George
Webster Wannan born 1857 and Mary born 1858, all Dundee. This family
subsequently emigrated to Australia. Patrick Allan ANDERSON, born 1842 also
emigrated to Australia.
I would be most interested on any information you might have on other
members of this family. I have been helping an Australian descendent, Doug
ANDERSON of Victoria, who is compiling a family history . Doug will be
visiting Arbroath, Dundee etc. in the next few weeks and would be delighted
to receive any new information. A number of very interesting letters have
survived, written between family members in the period 1834 to 1849. They
contain the usual family news, but also paint a very graphic picture of
what life was like for the average manual labourer at that time in

Hey, You're Cool!: Max Glazer
Meet one of New York's most influential DJs of all time, now helping to broadcast the people's music night and day on RadioLily.com.
Max Glazer wears a calm expression on his face. Nothing seems to phase him, because based on his coordinates at the corner of the north side of Houston, west of Sullivan Street, in Manhattan he expects anything to happen on the bustling throughway where Miss Lily's Variety is located. In the two years since the opening of Miss Lily's Variety and Melvin's Juice Box, high profile neighbors like Anna Wintour, or restaurant regulars like Russell Simmons pass by within a blink of peeping dime piece ladies, a street fight and delirious hobos. Maybe it's the locale, or maybe it's just the unpredictability of New York City. Either way it's because Miss Lily's has become a magnet for patrons of all types who appreciate authentic Caribbean cuisine and good music. Max can be found here planted in front of the "On Air" light that glares from the window of where Radio Lily broadcasts, he has the best seat in the house to take in the sights and sounds.
Bearing witness to Murphy's Law comes with Max Glazer's territory. After all, he's a DJ, a really good one who observes his surroundings, using it to inspire the music he plays. Glazer's experience dates back to the golden era of Fat Beats record store in Greenwich Village, another one-stop shop for music, and a former mecca for hip-hop that shuttered its doors in 2010. Max Glazer was a part of that legacy as an employee in the '90s. Elsewhere, he was a name on the NYC nightlife circuit deejaying alongside Hot 97's Mister Cee and Cipha Sounds. He also added tour DJ to his résumé for the likes of Rihanna, Sean Paul, and Cham. Times have changed, and so have the places where Max Glazer spins. Repping for his crew Federation Sound, Glazer continues to build his brand for playing the most relevant dancehall for all audiences whether through weekly podcasts, wicked parties at The Westway, or on Radio Lily's airwaves.
One of Glazer's greatest mixes to date is a downloadable one-track set that comes with the brand new Miss Lily's Family Style compilation album, distributed by VP Records. The 15-song LP is a reflection of what you're likely to hear at 130 Houston St. From the creative direction of the artwork and CD, designed by Miss Lily's partners Matt Goias and Spliffington to look like a worn album sleeve on the outside, and a 45 record on the inside. The past is as important to the future of dancehall in this solid as a rock presentation of it in 2013. If you ask Max Glazer, there's a story in each track as if the album could speak for itself. When Mass Appeal sat down with Glazer last week over a steaming cup of Jamaican Blue Mountain coffee, we talked about the significance of Family Style on the heels of Miss Lily's recent anniversary, coming up in the game with Cipha Sounds, and his favorite dubplates of all time. Ring the alarm!
Mass Appeal: Congratulations on the one year anniversary! How was the celebration?
Max Glazer: The one year anniversary was great. It was the one year anniversary of Miss Lily's Variety, Melvin's Juice Box (where we sit), also very close to the one year of Radio Lily because we started the radio about two weeks after we opened the store. It's sort of a pretty serious year of non-stop work. But it was dope. We had Johnny Osbourne perform, Tarrus Riley, a lot of the guys who are kind of just part of the family and people come through who have been involved with the store, the juice bar, the radio.
What were some of the other highlights?
MG: Clive Chin, Carol Dodd. who is the daughter of Coxonne Dodd (Studio One) came through. It didn't leave with us, but they let us play some like unreleased Dennis Brown. They've been doing all this digging in the archives of Studio One stuff and pulling tapes of stuff that have never been released.
Then also to have the album [Miss Lily's Family Style] which we envisioned sort of before this place even opened actually. The idea of doing an album that reflects the style and musical sensibility of the place and to actually have that finally come together and be coming out in this same sort of anniversary week/window. It seemed like it was taking a long time when we were doing it, but the timing worked out well.
How did you put together the tracklist? Was that difficult to whittle it down to just 15 tracks?
MG: Yeah, we started out with a list of a zillion-billion songs. But it was also like, it's not necessarily meant to be a reggae compilation for people who buy a reggae or a dancehall CD every week, or buy 10 every week, or download 10 every week. The idea was to not necessarily just do something new, and not something old. Most importantly that is representative of the place and our musical sensibility, which is a little bit of old, a little bit of new.
I dunno if distilled is the right word, but pick things that we really love, and help to translate it, hopefully to a broader audience. At the same time, being 15 songs that we all love, and you'll hear all of these if your life takes you in and out of here.
Who's part of the fam-a-lam?
MG: All of the artists on here are all connected to the place. Mr. Vegas did his album release party here, we've had him on the radio, we've had him perform here, it's gotta be half a dozen times. That's part of the family. Tarrus Riley, he's on here. Tarrus shot a video next door in the restaurant. We had him perform at the anniversary. He's a big part of the family. Konshens, ("So Mi Tan") is on here. We've had Konshens on the radio with us, twice. Again, part of the family. His video for the song that's on here, half of it is shot in here while he was on Radio Lily.
You can basically pull out anecdotes for every single song on here.
MG: Yeah, for the most part. Kes who does "Wotless" was here. Romain Virgo ("Rich In Love") also did an acoustic live performance in here. It's not every single person, but we wanted to definitely have a heavy load of people who we've actually done events with here, who we work with. The reason why we do that—it's people's music that we love, and what better way to further that and take that to the next step is let's do a radio show, have an album release party. 'Oh we're doing our compilation.' we really wanted to include the people who are actively in and out of here. To do that completely we would need 15 CDs. [laughs]
It still stands out from other compilations though.
MG: The idea here is to really reflect what sort of happens, what has happened, what can happen, what may happen on any given day here as people come in and out. I think it's more interesting to try to take the things from a cross section of reggae and soca and put it together in a way that someone might listen to it. So it's interesting to take that a part a bit and make it not as thematic. Not as musically thematic. The theme is sort of an eclectic variety you'll encounter in the actual place
What have you accomplished since you guys opened?
I'll speak more to the musical stuff. Being able to have Radio Lily and have the opportunity to invite not only the people who are on the CD—the place opened with Jimmy Cliff. To be able to have a setting where Jimmy Cliff will go, "Yeah this looks fun to perform," in a tiny little room for 40 people. Having Snoop Dogg in here was a giant thing. That's way more than a radio thing. For Paul [Salmon], Serge [Becker], and Matt [Goias] and all the partners of Miss Lily's to have created a place where those guys come to them and say, "Hey we're doing this thing, we really want to do it here because of the way it looks, the way it feels, the whole environment." That's the overall accomplishment of the whole thing.
A little more down to the music: to be able to have Konshens on the radio, and Rob Kenner, who has a show, and does a lot of the interviewing of people on here. We're all really sound system dancehall guys. That's what we grew up on, what made us love it. So to have Konshens come and do a little freestyle, we're not just gonna give you just instrumentals of your own songs to rock over. We're gonna do it the way it would have happened in 1992, like throw some random dancehall rhythms at you because that's something that's becoming a lost art in rap, as far as throwing a beat on and freestyling on it.
The Jacking for Beats formula.
MG: I'm not gonna put on your song and you sing your song for me on a radio show. That's what concerts are for. Hip-hop gets that from reggae, from '70s sound system shit.
What would you be doing right now if you weren't doing Radio Lily?
MG: I'd probably be sitting home attempting to make original music. My work process of that is very slow. I need to sort of be like, 'Okay, lemme turn the computer on; nah maybe I'll read the newspaper for a while; watch some TV, go back to it.' I'm not a musician in a way like, 'Time to make a beat, okay let's go!' Made a beat. One of my productions is on here, Vybz Kartel "Whine Song" and that's gotta be over two years since I did it. He's been in jail well over a year.
So if I wasn't in here doing Radio Lily stuff on a daily basis, I'd probably be sitting home working on music, trying to figure out a way to sit on a beach.

Shares of Renren Inc (NYSE:RENN), also known as the Facebook (NASDAQ:FB) of China, have nearly doubled so far in 2012. While this move is impressive, there are three reasons why RENN will continue to rally. I also still believe that RENN has more upside than other social media stocks.
Facebook IPO
The upcoming IPO of social media giant Facebook is bullish for RENN because it alters the valuation of the whole sector. With estimates for the value of FB currently around $100 billion, RENN should easily be worth more than the current $2.8 billion. While RENN is not as big as FB, it certainly has more room to grow as Chinese social media growth is much stronger than social media growth in developed nations where FB operates.
RENN has recently announced a few interesting partnerships. RENN will partner with Intel (INTC) to provide users with a more secure network. RENN also announced a partnership with Japan's food photo app Snap Dish. RENN is also said to be in discussion with Angry Birds about bringing the App to China. I believe that these deals indicate RENN is willing to work with other companies as needed. RENN could easily open itself up to a partnership with major U.S. companies looking to have a stake in the Chinese social media market. Needless to say, any such deal would be a major positive for RENN.
RENN has $1.04 billion or $2.65 per share in net cash. This cash could be used in a few different ways to boost the stock. One potential use for RENN's cash is to increase the share buyback or start paying a dividend. However, I believe it is more likely that RENN uses its cash to acquire other smaller social media companies in China. Arguably, this could be more beneficial for share holders than an increase in the buy back or initiation of a dividend. Smart acquisitions would likely set the company up for a stronger hold on the Chinese social media market place.
While RENN has had a massive run so far in 2012, it remains likely that the stock will continue to rise. The Facebook IPO, flurry of partnerships and cash point to a higher stock price.
Disclosure: I have no positions in any stocks mentioned, and no plans to initiate any positions within the next 72 hours.

The Iowa Supreme Court has set a date to hear arguments in a lawsuit filed by the state's workers' compensation commissioner against Gov. Terry Branstad.
Justices say they'll hear attorney arguments at 7 p.m. March 4 in the Supreme Court Courtroom in Des Moines. The unusual evening session gives Iowa residents unable to attend regular court sessions a chance to watch the court in action.
Chris Godfrey was first appointed by Democratic Gov. Tom Vilsack in 2006. His term expires next year.
His lawsuit claims violation of his constitutional rights, defamation, and intentional interference with his contract.
Branstad asked for Godfrey's resignation then cut his salary to $73,000 from $112,000 when he refused to quit.
Godfrey says Branstad, a Republican, wants to get rid of him because he's gay.

Ralph J. Dunsford
Belfast — Ralph John Dunsford, 90, died March 31 at Harbor Hill in Belfast joining his predeceased wife and two daughters.
Born in Wayland, Mass. Aug. 15, 1923, he was the son of William A. and Lulu A. Reynolds. Following high school graduation, he served in the U.S. Navy during World War II and was stationed aboard the USS Midway. He married the love of his life, Barbara May Titus Sept. 25, 1942 in Sudbury, Mass. They devoted their lives to each other and raised a family for more than 69 years before Barbara's death in 2012.
Ralph was a jack of all trades, moving up and down the east coast while raising his family. He worked as the captain of the fishing vessel Lulu Belle on Cape Cod, ran a farm in Liberty, and ran the maintenance department for the Casa Marina Hotel in Key West. Once the family retired to Maine, he enjoyed spending his free time working in his wood shop, painting seascapes and working on odd construction jobs. He was always finding some way to keep busy, but was never too busy to go out in his boat and see if he could get a bite or two.
Predeceased by his wife, Barbara Dunsford, and his two daughters, Candice Young and Sandra Wentworth, he is survived by is his grandson, Ralph Young and his wife, Ali of Buxton; his granddaughter, LuAnne Wright and her partner, Adam of Belfast; great-grandchildren, Brian, Justin and Dylan Wright of Belfast; his special friend, Patricia Johnson of Belfast; and his special furry baby, Daisy, who will forever miss her Daddy.
The family would like to extend their gratitude to the nurses and staff at Harbor Hill, his nursing staff from Kno-Wal-Lin, and his long-time physician, Dr. Thomas Maycock and his office staff for their never-ending patience and compassion. We will be forever grateful for everything that was done to make his last several years as productive and comfortable as possible.
Interment will be held later at the convenience of the family. Condolences may be shared with the family at longfuneralhomecamden.com. Arrangements are with the Long Funeral Home & Cremation Service, 9 Mountain St., Camden.

Of the Keizertimes
With next week's opening of Keizer Homegrown Theatre's A Doll's House, director Randall Tosh will finally get to scratch an itch that's bugged him for the better part of two decades.
"I've seen the play several times, including a Broadway production that took a play treated as a political track on women's rights and turned it into a wonderful, sad story about a failed marriage and looked at the forces that caused the marriage to fail," Tosh said.
Tosh is a newcomer to KHT and the first to direct a production for the troupe outside of founders Linda Baker and Evan Christopher.
At a goal-setting meeting in January, Tosh was present as the discussions turned to which plays would be performed this year. When A Doll's House was mentioned, Tosh leapt at the opportunity to finally bring his vision to scribe Henrik Ibsen's century-old drama.
The play tells the tale of Nora and Tovald, a married couple and the external forces that exert themselves on their marriage. Nora, who is beautiful, charming and intelligent and thought to be little else by Torvald, leaves her husband and children on a journey of self-discovery.

SPRINGER-DNA-L ArchivesArchiver > SPRINGER-DNA > 2006-09 > 1157441256
From: "Melissa Robards" <>
Subject: SPRINGER DNA Project Update
Date: Tue, 5 Sep 2006 00:27:36 -0700
A clearer picture is emerging in the SPRINGER DNA saga. I think this should help any of us researching this name in the south or in NJ to redirect our thinking. No one in the following group is related to Christopher Springer, the German who lived in Sweden, and whose son, Charles, settled in Delaware. That line is also identified in the SPRINGER DNA project; and besides the markers being too far off to show any relationship, the two groups have different 'haplogroups' which cinches the fact that the two groups are NOT related. (National Geographic has a definition of haplogroup: https://www3.nationalgeographic.com/genographic/glossary.html )
After a recent kit's first 12 markers were posted at FTDNA, it looks apparent that the following 7 SPRINGER lines are all connected. These 7 lines are shown in Group 4 in my chart on rootsweb's freepages.
Samuel R. Springer b1789 d1872 Cape May NJ, m. Sarahs Chester1 and McCarty2
Hudson Springer b.c1736, m. Jane Richards
Isaac Springer, northern NJ/southern NY, mid 1700s, d.1832
Josiah Springer, son of Dennis Springer and Ann Prickett
Union Co., SC:
Ezekiel Springer b.c1750-60 m Rebecca Collins
Aaron Springer b.c1770-1781, m. Ruth Little
John Springer b.1785 m. Minerva Whatley, son of Job Springer
My chart: http://tinyurl.com/hau6s
As we now know that Dennis (m Ann Prickett) positively does not descend from Christopher Springer of Sweden :) it makes sense to look more closely at Dennis Springer who married Abigail Pack in NJ, and Dennis Springer who married Mary Hudson in CT. Dennis Springer of CT d.c1703/4. Dennis and Mary supposedly had at least three sons, Dennis Jr, John, and Benjamin. Dennis Jr is the one who reportedly married Abigail Pack.
While I know of no Dennis Springers in my own NJ branch, there were mentions of a Dennis or two in the general area, plus there was an early Dennis Springer with a father named Benjamin. I have a copy of a land transaction from NJ that clearly states the name Dennis Springer, and says Dennis obtained this piece of land from his father, Benjamin Springer. This seems to indicate that there were possibly at least two early Dennis Springers in NJ.
On a general note, the Springer DNA project is currently waiting results for: kit 67084 markers 13-37; kit 46204 markers 38-67 and an SNP test. Lines I am currently looking for testees for are: Dennis Springer (who married Margaret Goforth) of Union Co., SC, Jonathan also of Union Co.; Johnson Springer who m. Arrepsy Congleton, they lived in Ga and settled in Texas. Johnson is possibly connected to an unidentified Dennis Springer who was in GA; and probably a dozen others that in my sleep-deprived state I just can't think of right now.
If any of you have any notes, ideas, suggestions, please email David or myself, or post to the list. If you are a testee, or represent a testee on the chart, and would like to include a public note about your line, please let me know and I'll add it.
take care,
melissa springer robards

June 26 (Reuters) - Seattle Genetics Inc and Japan's Takeda Pharmaceutical Co Ltd said on Monday that their drug met the main goal in a late-stage study of helping blood cancer patients live longer without their condition worsening.
The study tested Adcetris in combination with a three-drug chemotherapy regimen, AVD, compared with standard of care, to treat advanced Hodgkin's lymphoma in 1,334 patients who have had no prior treatments.
Adcetris is already approved in the United States to treat patients with classical Hodgkin's lymphoma, who have already received a stem cell transplant or two chemotherapy treatments. The drug is also approved to treat patients with anaplastic large cell lymphoma that have gone through one chemotherapy treatment.
The study, which tested the combination as an initial treatment, showed 82.1 percent lower risk of cancer progression in the combination therapy, compared with 77.2 percent in the control arm.
The standard-of-care chemotherapy, ABVD, combines adriamycin, bleomycin, vinblastine and dacarbazine.
Doctors for long have been trying to get rid of bleomycin from the chemotherapy regimen to increase the long-term durable response rate and decrease toxicity, Seattle Genetics Chief Executive Clay Siegall told Reuters.
Seattle Genetics, which partnered with Takeda to co-develop and commercialize Adcetris outside the United States, retains marketing rights for the drug in the United States and Canada.
Adcetris, known chemically as brentuximab vedotin, links a tumor-targeting antibody to a cancer-killing chemotherapy drug with the goal of limiting side effects. It is designed to home in on an antigen, or a foreign substance, in Hodgkin's lymphoma and in several types of T-cell lymphoma and other hematologic malignancies.
Hodgkin's lymphoma is a type of cancer that starts in white blood cells. It typically begins in the lymph nodes in one region of the body and then spreads throughout the lymph system.
According to the American Cancer Society, about 8,260 Americans were diagnosed with Hodgkin's lymphoma so far in 2017, out of which about 1,070 died.
The U.S. drug developer said it would file for an expanded label as soon as possible.
The drug, which generated about $266 million in North America sales last year, is also being developed in combination with Bristol-Myers Squibb's immunotherapy, Opdivo, to treat relapsed Hodgkin's lymphoma. (Reporting by Divya Grover in Bengaluru; Editing by Anil D'Silva)
