Planning a trip to Copenhagen in August 2014 for about 6 days then working my way to Germany and Prague by train. Would love to hear your favorite things or highlights, please. Also, there is a cheap direct flight from LAX -CPH with Norwegian airlines that seems too good to be true. Is this like ryanair where they gouge you on everything else? Thanks in advance for your input.

Info on the airline: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Norwegian_Long_Haul
It's new, so check out its home page for policies.
Check out the seating plans on seatguru.com. The airline is flying 787s, so that's good. Seat room is equivalent to what you'll find on US legacy carriers but it has personal audio/video, unlike too many United/American/Delta flights.

We spent 4 days there in April 2011 and really enjoyed our time there.
Some of the things we did:
walked The Stroget
visited Nyhavn
toured the Carlsburg Brewery
climbed The Round Tower
took a canal boat tour
went to National Museum
visited Christiansborg Palace
We didn't do this, but looks fun:

We wanted to go to the Resistance Museum, but it was closed on the only day we could go.
We did the hop-on/hop-off bus, and we wandered around a good deal.

Tivoli of course
Baaken - the world's oldest amusement park - lot of fun with singers, shows and rides
The Carlsberg Brewery Tour and Art Gallery by the Elephant Gate
And Christiana - the free city of Christiana can be loads of fun (especially if you want to buy cannabis over the counter on its Pusher Street - quite tolerated by authorities - Christiana is a 1970s era commune that took over a large old military base in the heart of Copenhagen - still around - eclectic houses and restaurants, shops - some very acclaimed restaurants.
Christiana is said to the be 2nd most visited site in Copenhagen after Tivoli.
Great day trips - like Round the Sound by train - go over the fantastic rail bridge-tunnel over the Ore Sound - wonderful views for miles around from the top - Malmo - take train to Lund, wonderful university town in Sweden - take train to Helsingborg, Sweden, train ferry over to Denmark - Helsingor and Hamlet's Castle and train back to Copenhagen.
Or to Freeriksborg Castle - lovingly set on an island in a lake
or to Roskild for the Viking Museum
or to Louisiana - modern art museum with fantastic statue park overlooking the sea
And of course the Little Mermaid (unless someone has stolen it again!)
Ah lots to do.
as for trains there is an overnight train to Germany - for lots of great info on European trains I always highlight these IMO superb sites - www.budgeteuropetravel.com; www.ricksteves.com; www.seat61.com - for schedules I always go to the Wunderbar German Railways site - www.bahn.de/en - you can get discounted tickets involving German trains.

Copenhagen is a walking and bicycling city. Most things already mentioned...relaxing at canalside Nyhavn, strolling down Stroget to Tivoli Garden, canal boat ride, etc. Also Carlsburg, Little Mermaid, maybe a trip up to Kronberg Castle and to little seashore town Gilleleje from whence Danish Jews escaped to Sweden. Christiania is interesting in a way but is it still exsiting? Gov't has threatened to tear it down for other use.

we enjoyed a very nice daytrip...took train from Norreport to Hillerod (Fredericksborg Castle...visited the castle, hopped another train , changing to go to Humulbaek (Louisiana Museum), and got back to Copenhagen around 5. A day well spent.
Changing of the guard at Amalienborg Palace is fun especially for the gigantic head gear worn by the troops...you wouldn't even know a face was hidden in all that. We also enjoyed lunch at the famous Ida Davidsen's....deluxe smorrebord...pricey but delicious offerings. Careful, they add up fast.
We also enjoyed staying at Ibsen's Hotel, a pleasant walk from there to Norreport and onward to the Stroget. Place is managed by women...large rooms, excellent Italian restaurant on the premises. If the Resistance Museum is open, stop in.(near the mermaid). Had no trouble filling in four full days. Great walking city, but do,as suggested, take the boat trip through Christiania and you will also see the striking Black Diamond Library building (see pics).
Here, following, are some familiarization pics for you.

<maybe a trip up to Kronberg Castle and to little seashore town Gilleleje from whence Danish Jews escaped to Sweden>
the interurban train from Gilleleje to Helsingor (Elsinore is cool - going a along a neat coast and thru forests, etc - terminal is right by the Hamlet's Castle (Slot Kronborg) - take a train from Copenhagen to Gilleleje - have some fresh-grilled fish at the port - hop the little train to Helsingor.
Trains run all over the Copenhagen region - so-called S-togs I believe form a dense suburban railway network that can be used to get to any place of interest. For more on Danish trains and these s-togs check these sources: http://www.budgeteuropetravel.com/; www.ricksteves.com and www.seat61.com.
Look for travel passes good for a day or buy strip tickets (if they still exist) - often cheaper than just buyer when boarding the trains

I love Gilleleje as it is so picturesque with thatched roof cottages and a very pretty place to go in the summer. It is famous locally for smoked fish, they smoke it right at the harbour and you can eat smoked herrings on rye bread with a Tuborg. You can also buy smoked mackerel and fiske frikadeller with remoulade sauce. It is cheap eats in an expensive country.
Nakkehoved Lighthouse is near Gilleleje and once you find it, you can walk along the cliffs and see Sweden across the water.
Hornbaek which is a pretty seaside resort is also nearby. There is quite alot to see along this coastline (Munkerup for instance).

Copenhagen has a number of castles/palaces (Rosenborg, Christinasborg) and several fascinating museums as well as the item listed above. You may want to take day trips - one to the Viking boat museum and cathedral in Roskilde as well as to the various castles north of the city.
Plenty to keep you occupied for at least a week.

This is wonderful, thank you all for your great suggestions, especially day tripping - was not originally going to do that but now considering.
tower- Your pictures are lovely, enjoyed them thoroughly, thanks!

The above suggestions are spot on. I lived in Copenhagen, during the summers, for 20 years and I have been to all of the above recommended places except for Baaken and the Louisiana Museum which I just never got around to doing. I was always hanging out with Danish friends around town and doing other things or spending time with them at their summer houses as they all had summer houses all over Sjælland. That alone took up most of the summer. LOL!
Happy Travels!

Wow, Guinea - those must've been 20 years of amazing summers!
This forum is so great with these kinds of input. I'm especially excited to see the castles, palaces, Gilleleje, and the museums -plus the food and the pastries! As Odin said, it's simply picturesque.
I'm curious, does anyone have any fiction or non - fiction books they've particularly loved on Copenhagen? And while we're at it, Germany and Prague too?

Sorry, I meant...
Wow, Guenmai

Books on Germany, Prague? Depends on interests of course, but I've read Dresden, The Berlin Wall both by F. Taylor, Fatherland and others prior to E. Germany visit. Also some about German-Nazi history...In the Garden of Beasts, Weimar Germany, The End, and more.
And a number of books related to Central Europe trip including Czech writers like Havel...most recently Klima's My Crazy Century (was here in Cambridge recently).

Jake's Grill - Portland Ratings and Reviews
Jake's Grill is a restaurant I will return to often. I love the lack of large-screen TVs (there is a small one in the bar, but it's small and can be easily ignored). I also like the relatively quiet atmosphere. I have finally found a downtown Portland restaurant where I can have a conversation with a friend without having to shout to overcome the loud music. If there is music, it is not loud. And the food--well, I will certainly try the Blue Plate Special next time I have lunch at Jake's. One of my table mates ordered it yesterday, and he raved about it. My other friend enjoyed a bowl of French Onion Soup, and I found my Wedge Salad perfect. Oh, and the butterscotch pudding--wow! Jake's at lunch is all around wonderful.
The service was very slow at first because the waitress didn't realize we were there. Once we were waited on she quickly made up for it and everything was great. She even comped is with a lava cake for desert to make up for the mistake. I will definitely go back again.
Jake's Grille is our number one go-to restaurant after a movie downtown. The space is one of our favorite, harking back to an earlier period in Portland. Service is consistenly top notch and the Martini's are the best in town. Food is always very good and my Steelhead on a Cedar Plank was exceptional. Can't wait to return.
Always a great meal; however, wine glass used was inappropriate for wine ordered. I will never buy a Pinot Noir bottle there again as it suffers in wrong glass. Not worth the price of the bottle to be ruined by the glass in a State known for it's Pinot Noir.
I have been here several times for breakfast, and I come back because the place is quiet and close to my hotel.
The food is pretty good but not fast and the service staff is really nice, on the whole, but slow. Not sure if that is just their "thing" or if it is a management issue. You may have to flag someone down if you need a refill of coffee etc.
We decided to go to Jake's Grill because it is part of the McCormick and Schmick's restaurant chain and we were not disappointed! Jake's does not have a "chain" feel though. They have unique meals and their drinks are amazing! For lunch or dinner, special night or not, go to Jake's. You will love it!!
I went to Jake's for dinner and ordered the 6 oz filet medium. The quality of the steak was poor. First of all, the filet, a cut noted for tenderness, was very tough because it was cooked to beyond well done. I didn't have time to send it back, otherwise I would have. The 6 oz filet at Jake's is very thin and this can only reasonably cooked to rare or well done. The finished product certainly looked to be no more than 4oz. Overall it was a terrible value food wise. On the service side, things were good but not exceptional. Nothing to complain about, but nothing remarkable either. Bottom line, skip the filet, it's terrible.
The food was great, although some things were extremely overpriced. $16 for a tablespoon or two of dungeness crab with bearnaise sauce, and the sauce was far too overpowered by tarragon. Pieces of shell in the crab made it impossible to enjoy. Not worth the price tag.
The thing that was most disappointing was the simplest part of the meal. We were only given the option to buy a bottle of water; sparkling or flat. As if there were no other choice. "We offer bottled water, sparkling or flat. Which would you prefer?" Only until we saw every other table receiving regular water from a pitcher did we understand we got duped. On an etiquette note; the bottle was brought out opened. For all I know, it was just filled with tap water in the back.
The waitress disappeared for long periods of time during which we were practically looking for her and simple drink refills has to be requested.
The food tasted great (worth the 45 minute wait between ordering and receiving) and the desserts are amazing.
Just be aware of what you're spending your money on.

sorry it took me so long to respond
the m1a soccom is my favorite rifle, and i have to say the most accurate i own. i can drill 3 bullets in the same hole @ 300 yards using the sierra matchking or better with the hornaday TAP ammo. it has a Leopold scope , a titanium piston, new match gas rod , low sun optics rings, recoil buffer, the springfield scope mount, and now with a harris bipod, mounted via the m14 bipod mount system, its even better.
its an awesome rifle that i never tire of shooting. i just run out of ammo , but i love it

Mosin project "Complete"
i just wanted to note im basically giving up on archangel and their stock, they are no longer keeping in contact with me, and have not shipped my order (placed in march) and its just BS. i may get one someday but im done waiting for them to get there stuff together.
anyway this is my notice to those who have been following the project.
currently BL (black lighting ) is completed, and successfully proved my original concept
A mosin nagant 91/30 with improved accuracy with bolt on parts that did not require a gunsmith OR permanent modification to the rifle. and swappable stock to original condition
was completed earlier this year
A mosin nagant that was designed to be a target rifle out to 300+ yards
the project initially started with the addition of the RSI (rock solid industries mount + bolt handle)
-issue with bolt handle can be corrected with die grinder or a gunsmith(were it hits the top rear corner of the mounts underside.
NOTE:the bolt does not need modification just swap out parts like a regular disassemble
-SCOPE: barksa 2nd gen sniper scope (needs to handle mosin) success with 600 rounds down barrel and no loss of zero. i would recommend the scope without the sun shade so you can get flip covers, but the shade does function well
-muzzle brake: MOSIN PLUS BRAKE (45-40$) for 91/30 only
the price is if you have a front sight or not
very effective, and is more functional than the Barrett look alike brake, video to come to give further info
-stock : stayed with the boyds feather thumb-hole stock, very effective and accuracy did improve in part 1 due to this
all in all its affordable to make a nice rifle at a low cost and the dual parts gives you the choice of modification or permanent modification
but mainly this is a guide of my experience and what i feel are reliable parts and features for the mosin nagant.
the project has been completed successfully and im now moving onto the HOWA shinsetsu project. i will still keep active posts on the mosin and how it fairs, and show and demo shoots or videos that i do with it
-So thanks for following the project, and i hope ive at least helped a few of you out there, while on this journey. A big thanks to those who've been active in the project topic and helped me when i needed recommendations they were a big help,and also giving resources for parts and accessories. So i cant thank you all enough for being there with me and BL. i hope this serves as a guide for those, with thoughts of tinkering with a mosin or at least a reference resource. ill keep posting with updates and pics on events and such that BL is in. if you have questions on anything just ost or PM, i have no problem answering, im usually there helping with those new to the mosin in there threads.

well just finalizing this project and hope that the sources in it are helpful to those who go with either version of the rifle project V1 or V2
V1 is the add-on only, non permanent modification version. so easy instal parts that do help with accuracy+stability
V2 is the next stage using V1 base to then add a scope using the RSI parts
the addition of the scope has increased consistency and group tightening, but the added weight is more than V1, and finding a carry case is more difficult
PS-i noted the case i use which fits all parts on gun + bipod (needs 3-4 pad locks though)
With the completion of the V2 Mosin nagant BL project i would state the rifle is a success, as i can now do long range with highly improved groups, at the cost of mobility. the rifle also is night shoot compatible , for dark shoots and night hunting(if you think of using it for that)
the gun is easy to prone shoot and does not give position away, also the muzzle break redirects most sound noise in the up direction(mosinplus)
similarly, the gun when used with a companion, can also act as a spotter due to the high scope magnification.
the mosin BL V2 is also swappable , in which it can be disassemble and reset into its original stock and shoot as it was originally intended. now there are 2 holes in the mosin receiver that does not impede shooting or hamper the firearm. now this is the permanent modification to the gun, and is the only mod needed to install the scope. (please see professional gunsmith to install any scope mounts that require this type of mod)
overall im very happy with the end result of the project V2 and hope to eventually move to V3 which is the addition of the next stock from archangel(whenever they get their act together)
the mosin v1,v2 are legal to use on hunts as the magazine is 5 round (v3 can be legal with correct mag size)
below is a detailed video overviewing the end of V2 project , thanks for the support, and i hope to continue the projects ever evolving setups

The 14th EU-China Competition Week took place in Beijing and Shenzhen from 20-24 March 2017. The session included discussions on priority topics identified with the Chinese Anti-Monopoly Enforcement Agencies (AMEAs). This includes the use of economic tools to assess co-ordinated and unilateral effects in mergers, as well as a discussion of a recent merger reviewed by both the EU and China. There were discussions on the competition scrutiny of the financial services sector and the potential pro- and anti-competitive effects of trade associations, as well as the analytical framework relevant to cases involving vertical restraints and tying and bundling. In addition, there was a session with a wider group of government agencies to discuss the development of China's new Fair Competition Review Mechanism which aimed to complement the Anti-Monopoly Law by introducing a review system to constrain government activities from unduly influencing market competition. This is an opportunity to share the EU's experiences with integrating competition assessment into government policy making and discuss the rationale and impact of State aid control.

WILMINGTON, Mass. -- The Bruins know it how it feels. They realize what it takes.
As the defending Stanley Cup champs, the memory of hoisting hockey's most prized possession is ever so vivid. But the memory of how they got to that point of ultimate success also remains clear.
While preparing for Thursday night's playoff opener against the seventh-seeded Washington Capitals at the TD Garden, Bruins players echoed a similar reason for last year's success:
Don't live in the past, and don't look to the future.
"I think what we've learned the most is, we never looked too far ahead of what we had to do," said Bruins forward Milan Lucic after Wednesday's practice at Ristuccia Arena. "And that's our mindset right now. All our focus is focused on Game 1 and Game 1 only, and coming out hard, and making the most of our home-ice advantage."
It would have been easy for last year's Bruins to curl up into a ball and succumb to the pressures of falling behind 2-0 in both their first round series against the Montreal Canadiens, and again in the Stanley Cup Finals series to the Vancouver Canucks.
The B's lost the first two games of both rounds, but ended up winning both in seven games. And being able to put those early losses behind them was the main key to their success.
"It's huge, especially right now," said Bruins forward Brad Marchand. "If you lose a game or two, you can't dwell on it. You have to continue to worry about the next game, and what you have to do to win that one.
"You saw we did it a couple times last year against Montreal and Vancouver," added Marchand. "We got down by a couple games, and we didn't panic. We let it go. We built on the things that we were doing well. And it got us back in both series'. That's what you have to do. You have to let a loss go, let a bad game go, and worry about being better in the next one."
Bruins coach Claude Julien believes his team is ready to carry that same mentality into this year's playoff run.
"That's not going to change," said Julien. "We've done that in the past, and we're going to continue to do that. We're a team that lives in the present, and not in the future. We don't live in the past, and last year's last year."

DeGolyer Library, Southern Methodist University, Dallas, TexasUBS is out with its annual Global Oil & Gas Analyser report, which goes into great depth about world's largest exploration and production companies.
Lately, everyone's been talking about how the U.S. has now become 'Saudi America.'
And the UBS team, led by Jon Rigby, says America's shale boom is nowhere close to running out.
North American shale production will continue to dominate non-OPEC output, with the U.S. alone contributing half the average annual output growth in the coming years alone.
By 2020, the U.S. becomes the world's largest oil producer.
On shale gas, "the US in particular enjoys a combination of factors – the scale of the resource, the scale and depth of the market, the scale and depth of the infrastructure and the oil service industry and the particular legal and regulatory conditions that are not exactly replicated anywhere else."
UBS's analysts sees an average 8% upside for the energy exploration and production companies it covers.
Here, we highlight the 14 North American-based firms that offer positive returns.

The heat balance technique shows promise as a method for determining mass flow of sap in stems of intact plants. Previous work has been limited to plants with stems diameters near 10 mm transpiring at low rates. We evaluated the performance of several heat balance stem flow gauges during periods of high transpiration in sunflower (Heliunthus unnuus L.) with stems approximately 16 mm in diameter. Measurements in a controlled environment were used to compare gauge measurements to gravimetric estimates of transpiration. Gauges having heater widths of 10 mm severely overestimated flow as transpiration approached 200 g/h. Dynamics of the heat balance and temperature profiles suggested that failure of the gauge was due to a lack of thermal equilibrium between the xylem fluid and sensors on the stem surface. Increasing the heat applied to the stem did not improve gauge performance. A gauge with a heater width of 20 mm was constructed and evaluated under similar conditions. Increasing the heater width greatly improved gauge performance and the sensitivity of the measurement during high flow. Additionally, the gauge had the ability to react to large changes in flow over short time intervals. The gauge with the wide heater measured cumulative water loss over a 15-h period to within 5% of that determined gravimetrically. The study indicates that the relationship between stem diameter and heater width is a crucial component of gauge design, and should be rigorously evaluated when applying the technique to stems with previously untested characteristics. Results suggest that heater width should be enlarged as stem diameter increases.

Paintings worth £47 million by some of the world's great artists were stolen from a museum in Switzerland in an armed robbery, police said.
The collection, including works by Cezanne, Degas, Van Gogh and Monet, was stolen in Zurich. The name of the museum in the city's 8th district has not been released.
Police are expected to give more details about the theft at a press conference today.
The district is home to the Emil Buehrle Foundation, a private collection which has several impressionist works.
It comes three days after thieves stole two paintings by Pablo Picasso worth millions from the Seedamm-Kulturzentrum art gallery in the small town of Pfaeffikon, near Zurich.
Police have not said whether the two thefts are related.
Police are investigating the theft of the Picasso works, and believe the burglars may have locked themselves in the building before it closed.
The culprits set off the security alarms as they left the building.
The two oil paintings, Tete de cheval and Verre et pichet, were on loan from a museum in Germany, which has promised a reward for their recovery.

A Randomized Phase II Study Evaluating Vandetanib (ZD6474) in Combination With Docetaxel and Carboplatin Followed by Placebo or Maintenance Therapy With Vandetanib in Patients With IIIb, IV or Recurrent Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC)
Lung cancer is the number one cause of cancer-related mortality in the United States, with
an estimated 160,390 deaths in 2007. Over 80% of these patients will have non-small cell
lung cancer (NSCLC), and the majority of these patients have advanced disease at the time of
Patients with advanced disease who have an adequate performance status clearly benefit from
systemic chemotherapy, and many clinical trials have been carried out to determine the most
effective regimen. Comorbidities associated with NSCLC preclude the use of cisplatin in
doublet therapies, and, a meta-analysis comparing platinum-based doublet regimens to
non-platinum based, third generation regimens revealed that survival outcomes between these
regimens were equivalent. Despite poor response and overall survival benefits in this
patient population with accepted treatment doublets, the addition of a third cytotoxic agent
did not improve survival and demonstrated increased toxicity. Therefore, it appears a
threshold maximum response can be gained with cytotoxic chemotherapy alone. However, the
poor outcomes still associated with advanced NSCLC clearly demanded the need for continued
improvements in treatment. It was postulated that anticancer therapy could be significantly
improved by not only targeting the tumor cells directly, but also by targeting
neo-angiogenesis. A randomized phase II trial demonstrated a significant improvement in time
to progression (TTP) in patients receiving carboplatin, paclitaxel and bevacizumab compared
to chemotherapy alone. Due to life-threatening and fatal hemorrhage patients with squamous
cell histology, as well as those with a prior history of hemoptysis and brain metastases
were excluded from all further clinical trials using bevacizumab. The definitive study of
bevacizumab in NSCLC was a randomized phase III clinical trial conducted by ECOG (E4599) in
which patients with advanced non-squamous NSCLC received carboplatin + paclitaxel with or
without bevacizumab which met the clinical endpoint of improvement in survival and led to
the approval of bevacizumab in first line treatment in patients with advanced NSCLC with
non-squamous histology.
The epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) protein activation leads to TK activation and
results in cell proliferation, motility, adhesion, invasion, survival, and angiogenesis.
The EGFR is over expressed in many solid tumors, including non-small cell lung cancer
(NSCLC), and multiple studies have suggested a shortened survival in NSCLC patients whose
tumor over expresses EGFR . Although studies using small-molecule TK inhibitors (TKIs) in
NSCLC did not meet efficacy endpoints, a phase III trial demonstrated the benefit of EGFR
TKI monotherapy. Patients with advanced NSCLC who have received 2 or 3 prior therapies were
randomized to erlotinib or placebo, and those receiving erlotinib demonstrated a survival
benefit that led to FDA approval of this drug in 2004.
The studies above clearly demonstrated a benefit to combining anti-angiogenic factors with
chemotherapy, and as a monotherapy using anti-EGFR agents, in patients with advanced NSCLC.
The potential benefit to simultaneously targeting these 2 pathways has been addressed in the
recurrent disease setting.
Vandetanib is a novel oral molecule (anilinoquinazoline) that has dual activity against both
the VEGFR and EGFR pathways. Specifically, this compound has potent and reversible
inhibitory activity against VEGFR-2 (KDR), VEGFR-3 (Flt-4), EGFR and RET . Vandetanib is a
TKI and thus acts through inhibition of ATP binding to the tyrosine kinase domains of these
receptors. Recombinant enzyme assays have demonstrated that vandetanib is highly selective
for both VEGFR-2 (IC50=40 nm) with only slightly lower affinity for VEGFR-3 (2.7 fold). EGFR
tyrosine kinase activity is inhibited with an IC50=500 nm. The results of a second-line
setting phase II trial were presented by Heymach et al at the ASCO meeting in 2006. In this
trial, patients were randomized to receive either docetaxel alone, or docetaxel with either
100mg or 300mg of vandetanib. Patients with squamous cell histology, controlled brain
metastases and prior history of hemoptysis were allowed on study. The primary endpoint of
prolongation of progression-free survival (PFS) was met in the 100mg arm (Hazard Ratio(HR)
0.64, p=0.07). There was no increased incidence of hemoptysis in patients receiving
vandetanib, and no CNS hemorrhage events were observed, and side effects commonly attributed
to EGFR inhibition (rash, diarrhea) were higher on the 300mg arm. Early combination studies
suggest that in patients with NSCLC, vandetanib is safe in combination with chemotherapy,
may improve the outcomes of chemotherapy when used at the 100 mg dose, and has activity as
monotherapy at the 300mg dose. In addition, none of the observed hemorrhagic complications
seen with bevacizumab were observed, even in patients at high risk for this complication.
In this study, our main goal is to study the combination of docetaxel + carboplatin and
vandetanib, followed by a double-blind randomized assignment to maintenance therapy with
vandetanib 300 milligrams (mg) or placebo by mouth daily until disease progression to
determine if maintenance therapy can prolong progression-free survival. In addition to
clinical efficacy outcomes we will monitor for safety and tolerability, as well as explore
any differences in outcome based on age and gender.
Allocation: Randomized, Endpoint Classification: Safety/Efficacy Study, Intervention Model: Parallel Assignment, Masking: Double Blind (Subject, Caregiver, Investigator, Outcomes Assessor), Primary Purpose: Treatment
Progression-free Survival
Time from randomization (prior to induction) to first evidence of disease progression or death without progression. Participants alive without progression were censored at the date of last disease evaluation.
Assessed every 2 cycles (1 cycle = 3 weeks during induction and 4 weeks during maintenance))

While "curiosity may have killed the cat", as the saying goes, it certainly livens up our learning. Ever thought of how anxiety blocks our desire to learn and curiosity heightens it?
Think of anxiety and curiosity as being at two ends of a continuum.
When anxiety levels are high, our receptiveness to learning new things is low. We resist because we are full of panic and doubt.
At the other end of the spectrum from anxiety is intense curiosity. When curiosity levels are high, we are incredibly receptive to learning new things because we are motivated by our own hunger to learn.
Here's a diagram to show what I mean.
This works whether you're dealing with learners or members of your own staff. A student who is curious learns more. A staff member who is highly anxious when it comes to technology is unlikely to embrace Web 2.0 or mobile technologies for teaching.
Keep providing strategies to decrease anxiety. At the same time, encourage their natural curosity and you'll keep people learning. It's that simple.

US Energy Secretary: Ernest Moniz nominated by President Obama
President Obama nominated Prof. Ernest Moniz, Director of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology's Energy Initiative and Honorary Trustee of The Cyprus Institute as Energy secretary of the US Department of Energy, one of the most important Ministries of the US Government. It deals not only with Energy but also with the stewardship of Nuclear Weapons.
Prof. Moniz is one of CyI's founding Trustees and was actively involved in the convocation of 2001 for the original planning of the Institute. He was instrumental in the creation and establishment especially of the Energy, Environment and Water Research Center (EEWRC). Prof. Moniz was member of the CyI's Board of Trustees from 2004 to 2012 and is now an Honorary Trustee. He was also a principal architect of the Agreement of Cooperation between the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, the Cyprus Research Promotion Foundation and The Cyprus Institute. He is currently leading a joint study on the natural gas discoveries in Cyprus, a project carried out in the framework of the ongoing cooperation agreement between CyI and MIT. The study will comprise a two-year program of research and analysis that will emphasize strategic options for utilizing the Cypriot natural gas resources.
Ernest Moniz served as Under Secretary of the Department of Energy under President Bill Clinton and as Associate Director for Science in the Office of Science and Technology Policy in the Executive Office of the President. At the Department of Energy, he had oversight of the science and energy programs, led a comprehensive review of nuclear weapons stockpile stewardship, and served as the Secretary's special negotiator for Russian nuclear materials disposition programs.
In 2008 he was awarded by the Cyprus Government the Grand Cross of the Order of Makarios III for his contribution to development of research and education in Cyprus and the wider region and especially for the development of The Cyprus Institute.
President Obama stated that Prof. Moniz knows that USA can produce more energy and grow the economy while still taking care of the air, the water and the climate and added that Moniz and the new EPA administrator are going to be making sure that the state will be investing in American energy, do everything possible to combat the threat of climate change and creating jobs and economic opportunity in the first place.

Defense Contractor GC Learned on the Job
You don't learn much about M&A while representing the University of Memphis in disciplinary cases against frat boys. So Jim Daniel lacked experience in the field when he arrived at defense contractor SI International in 1999. As the company's only in-house attorney, he had to get up to speed fast. He did it—now having overseen eight acquisitions in as many years—most recently of Dayton-based logistics firm LOGTECH in a $59m cash deal. Today SI has 4700 employees and offices in 17 states. We dropped in for tips from the do-it-yourselfer, who just scored a nomination as Corporate Counsel of the Year from the Association of Corporate Counsel's Washington chapter (WMACCA).
Jim shows off his growing collection of deal trinkets. Might have to toss out some of those law books to make room for more——SI International emphasizes growth.
Jim deflects credit for his success to others, including his in-house team—Deputy GC Robert Lanz and two staffers—and Larry Yanowitch at MoFo's Tyson's office, who has served SI through all its acquisitions. SI also turns to Isler Dare's Eddie Isler and Michelle Radcliffe on employment issues, and Pillsbury's Jeff Grill on securities.
What's Jim looking for from his outside counsel? "Firms that have succeeded with us are the ones who commit the time to understand our company. Larry is interested in SI's business." That business made $20 million back in 1999 and now has revenue 23 times that. It does everything from processing VISA applications for the Department of State to constructing a secure web portal for the National Guard.
It's a two-lawyer in-house team now that SI has added Deputy GC and former Wilmer lawyer Robert Lanz. Based on Jim's rule of thumb that companies average one lawyer for every $250 million in revenue, that's the right size—SI took in some $460m last year.
As Chief Legal Officer (he's also Secretary to the Board), Jim oversees the four-person legal department and supervises a 30-person contracts and procurement group. Jim and Robert get the majority of the operation's legal work done in-house, and are developing their own securities expertise. "It's great having a colleague here," says Jim, after years of going it alone. The company has become adept at due diligence on acquisition targets. Among other things, SI scrubs financial statements and conducts surveys to gauge a company's customer satisfaction. "Getting our hands dirty is the part we do well," Jim says.
Not sure what Jim's constructing here, but it could be an airplane. He grew up as an Air Force brat (his family made a stop in the Netherlands, among other places, before settling in the Washington area), and more than half of SI's business comes through the Air Force.
The biggest case that Jim assisted on in Memphis was an age-discrimination suit brought by 17 professors, which raised important 11th Amendment immunity issues for state universities. After deciding to come back to this area (he went to high school in Mount Vernon), Jim called an old contact for a reference. Instead of giving Jim a letter, his contact got him a job — at a company later acquired by SI.

The New York Times bestseller: "Historically incisive, geographically broad-reaching, and brimming with illuminating anecdotes."—Max Rodenbeck, New York Review of Books
Americans may be paying more attention to Muslim conflicts now. They had better. In The Shia Revival, a fast-moving, engaging and ultimately unnerving book, Vali Nasr writes that wars within Islam will shape the future. A professor at the Naval Postgraduate School and an occasional adviser to the American government, Nasr argues that Operation Iraqi Freedom has tilled the soil for a new Middle East one fueled less by the ideal of democracy than by an age-old animosity between Islam s two major sects, the majority Sunnis and minority Shiites.

Non-Dieters More Successful at Boosting Health Than Dieters, Study Finds
[ 196 votes ]
Discuss This Article
• May 31, 2005
Source: University of California - Davis
Behavior change and self-acceptance trump dieting hands-down when it comes to achieving long-term health improvements in obese women, according to a two-year study by nutrition researchers at the University of California, Davis. The findings suggest that significant improvements in overall health can be made, regardless of weight loss, when women learn to recognize and follow internal hunger cues and begin feeling better about their size and shape. Results of the study will appear in the June issue of the Journal of the American Dietetic Association.
"We have been ingrained to think that seriously large people can only make improvements in their health if they diet and slim down," said nutrition researcher and professor Linda Bacon, who conducted the study along with Judith Stern, a UC Davis professor of nutrition and internal medicine. "But this study tells us that you can make significant improvements in both metabolic and psychological health without ever stepping on the scales or counting calories. You can relax about food and eat what you want." Although this study included only women, the researchers say that there is no reason to believe that the results would be different for men.
For years it has been known that obesity is associated with a number of serious health problems, including heart disease, diabetes, stroke and even some cancers. To avoid such medical complications, health professionals have encouraged their obese patients to lose weight. But dieting has not proven successful in the long run. Initial weight loss is often followed by a return to at or near the original weight, with no improvements in health indicators such as blood pressure or cholesterol levels.
Faced with the dismal track record of dieting, the rising prevalence of obesity, and the premise that obesity itself may be relatively benign compared with health habits, nutritionists and health professionals began to look for a more effective way of dealing with the health risks. One model that has arisen is known as Health at Every Size. Rather than focusing on calorie counting, this approach encourages obese individuals to actually back off from monitoring how much food they eat and, instead, train themselves to pay more attention to internal body cues that signal hunger and fullness.
The UC Davis study was developed to scientifically examine the effectiveness of the Health at Every Size approach compared with traditional dieting. The study started off with 78 female participants ranging in age from 30 to 45 years old. Half were assigned to a dieting group and half to a non-dieting Health at Every Size group.
Dieters and non-dieters
Members of the dieting group were told to moderately restrict their food consumption, maintain food diaries and monitor their weight. They were provided with information on the benefits of exercise, on behavioral strategies for successful dieting, and on how to count calories and fat content, read food labels and shop for appropriate foods. Participants in the non-dieting group were instructed to let go of restrictive eating habits associated with dieting. Instead they were counseled to pay close attention to internal body cues indicating when they were truly hungry or full, and to how the food made them feel. They also received standard nutritional information to help them choose healthful foods, and participated in a support group designed to help them better understand how culture influences the experience of obese people and to become more accepting of their larger bodies. In addition, they were encouraged to identify and deal with barriers, including negative self-image, which might get in the way of enjoying physical activity.
The study spanned two years, with each group meeting for 24 weekly treatment sessions and, after that, for six monthly optional support group meetings. They also attended five testing sessions: at the beginning of the study, halfway through the treatment at 12 weeks, following treatment at 26 weeks, after the support meetings ended at 52 weeks and for follow-up at 104 weeks. At the testing sessions, factors such as blood pressure and cholesterol levels were measured. The participants' levels of physical activity also were evaluated, as were their eating behaviors and attitudes toward weight, body shape and eating.
Study results
Almost all (92 percent) of the non-dieting group stayed in the study throughout the treatment period, while almost half (42 percent) of the dieters dropped out before finishing treatments. This reinforces another message of the research -- that in the long run, people are much more likely to stick with a non-diet than a diet. When the researchers tallied the results from the participants who completed the study, they found that: The non-dieters maintained their same weight throughout the study. The dieting group lost 5.2 percent of their initial weight by the end of the 24-week treatment period, but regained almost all of it by the end of the two-year study. The non-dieters showed an initial increase in their total cholesterol levels, but this significantly decreased by the end of the study, as did their levels of LDL cholesterol or "bad" cholesterol. The dieters showed no significant change in total or LDL cholesterol levels at any time. Both groups significantly lowered their systolic blood pressure during the first 52 weeks of the study. By the end of the study at 104 weeks, however, the non-dieters had sustained this improvement, while the diet group had not. By the end of the two-year study, the non-dieters had almost quadrupled their moderate physical activity. The dieting group had a significant increase in physical activity right after the treatment period ended but had slipped back to their initial levels by the end of the study. The non-dieters demonstrated significant improvements in self-esteem and depression at the end the study, while the diet group demonstrated a worsening in self-esteem. The dieters' depression levels initially improved but then returned to baseline.
In summary, while the non-dieters did not lose weight, they succeeded in improving their overall health, as measured by cholesterol levels, blood pressure, physical activity and self-esteem. The dieters, on the other hand, were not able to sustain any of the short-term improvements they experienced and worsened in terms of their self-esteem. "Given the difficulties most obese people experience in sustaining weight loss, the findings suggest that people are better advised to focus on behavior change than weight to achieve their health goals," said Stern, the researcher who is a UC Davis professor of nutrition and internal medicine. The study was funded in part by the National Institutes of Health, the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Western Human Nutrition Research Center and the National Science Foundation.
