SALT LAKE CITY (AP) -- The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has singled out the greater Salt Lake region as having the nation's worst air for much of January, when an icy fog smothers mountain valleys for days or weeks at a time and traps lung-busting soot.
Thanks to the AP for that story, but can you imagine that? I though freezing nostrils were the worst thing that could happen to you in the winter air!
Nothing like a good mind teaser first thing on a Monday.
(TIME.com) -- The longest lived among us aren't necessarily those who are of normal weight, says a new study.
According to new research this week in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA), researchers say that being overweight may lead to a longer life.
The somewhat surprising conclusion comes from an enormous, detailed review of over 100 previously published research papers connecting body weight and mortality risk among 2.88 million study participants living around the world.
The new research confirms that obese people, and particularly those who are extremely obese, tend to die earlier than those of normal weight. But the findings also suggest that people who are overweight (but not obese) may live longer than people with clinically normal body weight.

The House GOP spin on the 'fiscal cliff' deal
"Republicans in Congress took critical action this week to protect hardworking taxpayers from massive tax hikes. Americans are paying more for gas, more for groceries and more for health care. The last thing they need is to pay more for Washington. That's why we made sure the temporary tax cuts passed a decade ago were made permanent. And, let me repeat that: permanent. Now we can look forward."
--Rep. Dave Camp (R-Mich.), in the weekly Republican address, Jan. 5, 2012
"We raised taxes on the wealthiest two percent of Americans in a bipartisan way, while preventing a middle-class tax hike that could have thrown our economy back into recession."
--President Obama, weekly radio address, Jan. 5, 2012
Just as President Obama sugarcoated the outcome of the "fiscal-cliff" debate, House Republicans are putting their own spin on the outcome. Let's take a look at this section of the Republican weekly address, given by the chairman of the tax-writing Ways & Means Committee.
The Facts
The operative phrase here is "critical action," which suggests that Republicans were largely responsible for the outcome. Indeed, Camp's remarks include many jabs at Democrats, such as saying Obama and other Democrats "repeatedly refused to take any meaningful steps to make Washington live within its means."
Yet the final vote count in the House of Representatives shows that a majority of Republicans voted against the bill, and it would not have passed without votes by Democrats. Only 85 Republicans (including Camp) supported the bill, while 151 opposed it. Meanwhile, 172 Democrats voted for the bill, while 16 opposed it. In other words, Democrats provided 67 percent of the votes.
The situation was different in the Senate, where the bill originated after talks between Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) and Vice President Biden. In that vote, Senate Republicans overwhelmingly supported the bill, providing nearly half the votes.
It seems rather unsporting for Camp to not even acknowledge that Democrats played a role in averting fiscal disaster. Obama, in his radio address, called the vote "bipartisan."
Camp apparently wants to avoid drawing attention to the fact that the result was far from his preferred outcome. After all, in a speech in 2010, he had vowed to oppose any effort that would fail to extend all tax rates, including rates for wealthy Americans, calling it "a terrible idea and a total non-starter."
Note that Obama proudly notes that taxes were raised on upper-income Americans. But Camp simply ignores the fact that any taxes were increased, and instead notes that "temporary" tax rates were made permanent for "hardworking taxpayers," protecting them from "massive tax hikes."
That's true for most tax rates—but not for the richest Americans, who will see a sharp increase in tax rates and also an increase in taxes on capital gains and dividends. By contrast, McConnell, when he discussed the outcome, acknowledged that taxes did go up for wealthy Americans, and that Republicans had to accept that reality to avoid the fiscal cliff.
Both Camp and Obama also maintain a conspiracy of silence on the failure to extend the payroll tax holiday. (Obama uses carefully-parsed language, saying that "income taxes" will not "go up one dime" for 98 percent of Americans.) Every American who earns a wage will see a difference in their next paycheck.
Michelle Dimarob, a spokeswoman for Camp, defended his language, saying that "Republicans schedule the [House] floor and the action of putting the bill on floor is taking critical action." She also noted that "40+ Republican senators also took action to protect taxpayers," and that Obama ended up getting far less revenue from tax increases than he originally sought.
The Pinocchio Test
In the narrow technical sense cited by Camp's spokeswoman, Republicans took "critical action." But it seems misleading to ignore the fact that it took significant Democratic votes in the House for the bill to become law--or that income taxes were increased for at least some Americans. Presumably Camp thinks even the rich are "hardworking."
The failure to acknowledge the votes of Democrats, or to admit that some taxes were raised. is significant enough to earn a pair of Pinocchios.

We see that the THS4520 out can go to negative voltage but we simulate only with +5v and GND...
Simulate with Tina.
Hello Moshe,
On a 0V to 5V supply, the THS4520 output is limited to 0.25V to 4.75V typical. The output can get a little closer to the rails, but it can't go below or above the rails.
Keep in mind, the differential output voltage can be negative because it is a mathematical expression (Vout_diff = Vout+ - Vout-). If Vout- is larger than Vout+, the differential voltage will be negative, but each output can only swing about 0.25V away from each rail.
If there is something else going on, you can upload your TINA schematic we can take a look.
Regards,Luke LapointeHigh Speed Data Converters
Hello Luka,
We use the THS4520 test Circuits.
If you test and run it with VEE=0v and Vcc=+5v you will see that the output (refer to GND, not diff) can go to -1v or lower than the Vee...
This is great opamp with internal negative power supply? :)
There is no internal negative supply for the THS4520. Remember that there is a passive path from input to output. What is your input voltage? Also, what voltage are you applying to the Vocm pin? If you upload your TINA schematic, that would be helpful.
Hi All,
The THS4520 Macromodel shows output swing to be confined to the supply rails (as it should). Using the attached Test Circuit built in TINA with 5V single supply (Vocm= 2.5V), each output swings from 0.25V to 4.75V (again, as it should). In the image below, VP_8 and VP_10 are the outputs. I don't see swing below ground!

Justice Education
We, in SSJ, are committed to justice education on campus and in the wider community. Through education, we can increase awareness, increase action, strengthen our faith and reduce prejudices and stereotypes.
Justice Walkin' Program:
Justice Walkin' is a service group that initiates college students into a life transformed by the Gospel and its application in daily living.
The group meets every other Saturday morning to volunteer from 9-11am and then for a reflection meeting from 11-12:30pm.
Urban Plunges:
Feed My Starving Children in Eagan, MN
Senator Al Franken speaking on Veterans Day at the St. Cloud Veterans Hospital
Each month we take a group of students who signed up to volunteer at a different location to emerse ourselves.
Sex Trafficking Awareness Week:
We partnered with the Institute of Women's Leadership and the Bonner Leader Program to plan a week of awareness and education about the issue of sex trafficking in the United States and close to home in Minnesota. Joy Friedmen from Breaking Free, an organization that helps to free women who are being trafficked, spoke and a fundraiser was put on to raise money for the Breaking Free organization.
TOMS One Day Without Shoes
A day dedicated to children who cannot afford shoes. This is our opportunity to learn what it feels like to walk around without shoes and be at-risk for disease and infection. Here is a video we used to promote this day: TOM's Video
H2O Project:
This was a two week challenge during Lent to drink only water and donate the money saved from other beverages to the H2O Project to help build wells in Uganda. At the end of the two weeks there was a benefit concert to also raise money and awareness for the lack of clean water around the world.

How well does the UIAA look after the interests of the world's mountaineering federations and clubs? At the 2010 UIAA General Assembly in Bormio, Italy, representatives from around the globe voiced their desires – which are as diverse as the mountain cultures they come from.
Forthcoming expeditions, tree planting and climate change awareness are all part of the latest newsletter from Ang Tshering Sherpa of the Nepal Mountaineering Association:
The Russian Mountaineering Federation reports on the opening of a rescue shelter on Mount Elbrus.
Pakistan has announced its climbing fees for 2011.
The International Mountain Summit (IMS), took place this year from October 30 to November 7, and celebrated its partnerships with leading organisations that work to protect mountain regions.
Leading members of the global climbing community have discussed the concerns of climbers and challenges of undertaking expeditions to high and remote mountain ranges.
A host of new initiatives to make travelling in mountains safer and more environmentally friendly are being discussed at the UIAA General Assembly (GA).

eeeeeeeeexcellent! thanks so much!
aww and I js bought a DL yesteray lol... gott finish somestuff to get the money an buy a lot of CA stuff ><
I feel like a kid in a candy shop! Download download download....
This is awesome! Definitely gonna be picking one or two of these up! Anyone have any recommendations in particular?
I just got the Greg Manchess downloads. Fantastic. He has a fantastic voice to listen to, and his painting is fantastic. Seems like a genuinely kind person.
I also got the Richard Doble two, the first one I have watched. I found it entertaining to watch, and how much his designs changed. I thought that he seemed very shy though, and criticised his work too much. It is good to know where he thought that he went wrong though. I thought this video was informational, but was presented in too relaxed of a manner, which some people find off putting. I thought it was a successful approach to video making in Coro's oil portrait, but not so much in this one.
I also got the GaryKelleyOils video, but this video will not play. I downloaded with a download manager, and it downloaded successfully, but it just crashes VLCplayer every time I try to open it.
As for recommended downloads, I thought Coros portrait was great. He explained everything he put down very well, and had a nice result. Quite humorous too. I also thought Caucasian females by Zhanglu and Jason Manley was great.
Thanks for the recommendations, I'll go take a look at those! There are so many that look good, I wish I could get them all!
When you buy the downloadable videos, where do you use the discount coupon? I wanted to buy jason manleys composition video but on paypal I don't see a discount option.
Yeah I've got 6 videos so far, mostly environment ones but also J. Chans quick sketch video. I really enjoyed it. Not too sure how much technical information I got from it, though. I'll have to re-watch it, but it's definitely worth getting.
Both parts of Richard Doble's Creature Design: whether I find the downloadable helpful or not (and I'm sure I will), $14 is a small price for the information I receive even just lurking.
I bought Jason Chan's style exploration and the hero and Jason's Composition, I'm having trouble extracting Jason Chan's videos, it keeps giving me an error saying the video file is damaged. I've tried several times with 7zip and default unpacking software on my vista. How do I obtain a fresh new link to download from?

Hell ya ty
ha! grabbed the vehicle concepting bundle for 28 bucks! It's almost like cheating!
Though, I'm still bashing my head against the wall for being broke during the 60%-off sale. Damn!
Been waiting for something like this for a while. I got the videos i wanted!
Thank you! ^^
Bought a bunch of Downloads. Thnx Massive you really rock my sox
Woops... here's the shopping cart link for his composition video: http://www.payloadz.com/go?id=1172159
Hey Guys... thanks for all your support and not torrenting the videos. We really appreciate your business and we've got some really good titles coming out soon.
Awesome, I was planning to buy some downloads but couldn't decide which, this makes things easier
So... the streaming classes will be up for another 30 days?
Finally got the Kemp videos. I'm excited, because my Industrial Design sense needs work...!
"Contrary to the belief of the layman, the essential of art is not to imitate nature, but under the guise of imitation to stir up excitement with pure plastic elements: measurements, directions, ornaments, lights, values, colors, substances, divided and organized according to the injunctions of natural laws. While so occupied, the artist never ceases to be subservient to nature, but instead of imitating the incidents in a paltry way, he imitates the laws."-Andre Lhote
Web, FineArt, Sketchbook
What's the difference between streaming classes and downloads? Does this mean if I buy the streaming class I'll only be able to access it temporarily?
I'm interested in getting the streaming class Environment Design: Using Reference Effectively, but I no longer see a price or "Buy It" button. I thought it was $38 the other day. Can someone help me out because I REALLY want this class before the sale ends.
Whoo! Downloaded Jason Chan's Quick Sketch and James Kei's Clothed Figure videos. Very good stuff!
Also signed up for the Valve and dynamic poses streaming videos. This is awesome, thanks for the sale!
I advise either Jason Chan's videos, or Marko Djurdjevic's: it's got to be one of my favourites.
Check out the trailers for them here: YouTube - MassiveDVD
Thanks for the sale guys, epic as usual.
"I have nothing to offer but blood, toil, tears and sweat." - Winston Churchill
Is this still going on? We're past March 3rd, but we've still got the huge sale banner.
Was thinking of picking up one of Zhanglu's portrait downloads to help me out with some recent studies.
Yes it is still going on.
Good deal. Been interested in those for quite awhile.
Soo good. Thanks to this sale I now have Coros portrait, sketchbook clinic, simplicity, idea developement, Donatos, and jasons composition AND his color theory. Im set with knowledge for a while now!

Other local jurisdictions made the change long ago
Sheila McLaughlin reports:
Thomas Moyer, the late Ohio Supreme Court chief justice, tried for more than a decade to eliminate the use of part-time judges across the state.
They more recently came under attack by Butler County Prosecutor Mike Gmoser.
He called one local judge "the fox in the hen house" and was instrumental in getting the judge kicked off of 10 drunken driving cases.
He accused another of showing favoritism to a judicial colleague's law associate. He asked the Supreme Court to all but strip part-time judges of their private law practices, saying it was a conflict.
Nothing happened.
"That solution is neither feasible nor advised. It would force some judges to immediately leave the bench and discourage others from seeking office," Chief Justice Maureen O'Connor wrote in a statement to The Enquirer.
She also suggested that any move toward abolishing part-time courts in a particular community must come from local officials.
While other counties in Southwest Ohio have long ago gone to full-time misdemeanor courts or are looking at the possibility now, Butler County has resisted the change. The county has three area courts that cost taxpayers about $1.2 million a year to run.
"There's always politics involved," said Matthew Crehan, a retired Butler County Common Pleas Judge who led a 2006 study that looked at consolidating the county's three area courts – Area I in Oxford, Area II in Hamilton, and Area III in West Chester – and making them full-time.
"You've got three part-time judges who have private law practices, and they get paid pretty good money for one day a week (as a judge). They get retirement and everything else," Crehan said. "The problem is that there is just simply a natural conflict between being a lawyer and being a judge. You can't serve two masters."
All three Butler County Area Court judges – Rob Lyons, Dan Haughey and Kevin McDonough – say they can. By law, they aren't allowed to practice in each other's courts.
Lyons, who presides over the court in Oxford, was removed from the 10 drunken driving cases challenging Ohio's alcohol breath testing procedures. Lyons had used the same approach in fighting for clients in his criminal defense practice in West Chester. (more…)

If Brownley really wants to hear what is going on in her district, then why won't she hold a town hall meeting? I have contacted her office and received no replies.
Talking to other politicians and non elected officials is not the same as talking to the general public.For those of you who think she will make good judgements based on her own experience, then you have not been paying attention to her record. From the santa monica school district to the state legislature, she has followed her own path to just getting to congress in washington by any means necessary.
She is just another tax and spend liberal, and another nail in our coffin.
Ms Brownley, when and where is your town hall meeting???? Just another coward in congress and those of you who voted for her are to blame. Elections have consequences, and you ain't seen nothing yet. Just wait for higher taxes, loss of freedoms, and loss of hope for the future.
Please tell me how many Town Hall meetings did Elton Gallegly hold during his 20 something years in Congress? I know the answer do you? Righties always defended him for not doing it. She has been in office a little over a month, I am sure she will hold many over her carrer.

Recipe by Nikki_W
"This is a very tasty crustless quiche. You can substitute the filling for different ones you may like better, but these are my favorite. By the way, this is Atkins® induction-friendly."
Watch video tips and tricks
6 ounces bacon, diced
1/2 pound asparagus, cut into 1-inch pieces
4 ounces baby bella (cremini) mushrooms, sliced
4 ounces shredded Swiss cheese
1 1/2 cups heavy whipping cream
4 large eggs
1/4 teaspoon salt
freshly ground black pepper to taste
I really liked the flavors in this quiche, but it seems as though 1 1/2 cups of heavy cream would have been too much. I stopped at 1 cup after pouring and I'm glad I did. The combination of swiss, asparagus, baby bella mushrooms, and of course BACON makes a delicious quiche. Thanks!
Oh my goodness this is delicious! Hubby and I decided we were in the mood for breakfast for dinner, so I decided to make this quiche. I made it exactly as written and it was FABULOUS! The eggs have such an amazing creamy taste; I could just eat them plain! All the other ingredients go so well together. I wouldn't change a thing! I can see myself making this for company as it's very impressive. I like that this has no crust, so I can fit it into my low-carb diet. Thanks for the great recipe, Nikki!

Thank you, thank you for submitting this recipe! My husband and I are on Atkins and doing the Phase 1 Induction. Allrecipes.com is my go-to site for recipes, and just by chance I thought I'd use Atkins Induction as my search criteria. This is the only recipe that came up and it looks a.MA.zing. Thanks again! (PS - Love all the helpful reviews!)
This was my first ever attempt at a quiche. I wanted to try crustless since I am trying to maintain a low carb diet. Made it for my wife and I and could not have been happier. Easy to follow recipe and tasted fantastic. My wife l loved it and took leftovers to work to brag on her husband the cook. She said it's too bad we didn't take a picture of it since it was so pretty.
Unbelievably good! The combination of crimini mushrooms, Swiss, bacon and asparagus was perfect. I always thought that a "flavorful" quiche had to have tomatoes and cheddar. And, HAD to have a crust. This recipe has changed my mind. I only added 1 cup cream, and added in two more eggs. The texture was perfect, it rose up beautifully, and it was cooked consistently throughout. May add a bit more Swiss cheese next time. My family asked that I make this for our Christmas morning brunch. Thank you.
very good can use any vegie in this an meats
My husband and I LOVED this recipe! We were a bit concerned about the lack of a crust, but it came out perfectly, was easy to serve, and it was delicious! We will definitely make this again, and again, and again...highly recommended!
Loved the simple and easy recipe. I added self rising flour- 1 serving spoon to add a little thickness and crustiness. Also some oregano and chili flakes added to the flavor. Next time I'm planning to add Bisquick-mix, to make the overall quiche more heavier

The Manlius community will have a brand new place to test their athleticism. A YMCA is coming to town. Its main feature will be tennis, but will have a number of other things to offer. Our Iris St. Meran was given a sneak peak a few days before the tennis courts are set to open.
MANLIUS, N.Y. -- Tennis players in the Manlius area will have some new courts to play on. They are located in what will be the Manlius YMCA.
Associate Executive Director of Athletic Performance and Health and Wellness Dennie Taft said, "We have three indoor facilities, courts that are available, and five outdoor courts. We'll also have a small cardio fitness room available for our general membership."
Members can also take advantage of a turf field for youth sports, care for school age children and a studio for yoga and pilates, among other things. It's located on West Seneca Turnpike in the building of a former tennis club. Members of that club are delighted they'll still get to play their favorite sport.
"The longer our experience goes of having a family friendly environment right here in the Manlius area, that is still underscoring the importance of tennis for all ages, I think there will be a resurgence of tennis for all ages," said YMCA member David Shannon.
Although the East Area YMCA is a short distance away in Fayetteville, they're looking to offer members something different.
"This facility is really a complement to the programs that we offer over the there. So it's a little bit different. It's a programming facility," Taft said. "We outgrew a lot of our programs in the East Area YMCA. We see this site as a way to bring those programs to our community."
They're looking forward to getting the community involved.
The YMCA will be open for tennis starting Monday. Renovations should be done by September.

Our Science – Figg Website
William Douglas Figg Sr., Pharm.D.
Dr. Figg received his B.S. in pharmacy from Samford University and his doctorate in pharmacy (Pharm.D.) from Auburn University. He also has a dual MBA degree from Columbia University and London Business School. Following his clinical internship at the University of Alabama at Birmingham and his fellowship training at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, he joined the Clinical Pharmacology Branch of the NCI. Dr. Figg became chief of the Molecular and Clinical Pharmacology Section in 1993. More recently, this section was divided into two groups, the Molecular Pharmacology Section within the Medical Oncology Branch and the Clinical Pharmacology Program within the Office of Clinical Director, CCR, NCI. The Clinical Pharmacology Program has 5 cores - the Blood Processing Core, Bioanalytical Core, Preclinical Pharmacokinetics Core, Pharmacometrics Core and Pharmacogenetics Core.Dr. Figg has focused his research on utilizing pharmacological principles in anticancer drug development and evaluating novel agents in the treatment of cancer.
Dr. Figg serves on the Molecular Target Faculty Steering Committee, the Technology Review Group, the NExT Committee, the NIHCC Pharmacogenetics Committee, and chairs the steering committee of the Molecular Targets Development Program. Dr. Figg is also a member of the GU Center of Excellence steering committee. He is on the editorial board of 18 peer-reviewed scientific journals (e.g., Clinical Cancer Research, Cancer Biology & Therapy, Clinical Pharmacology and Therapeutics, The Oncologist, Cancer Chemotherapy and Pharmacology, Molecular Cancer Therapeutics, and Pharmacotherapy).
He has been licensed to practice pharmacy since 1988 and in 1991, he became board certified in Pharmacotherapy (recertified in 2007).
Dr. Figg is a Captain in the U.S. Public Health Services' Commissioned Corps.
He holds adjunct appointments at four schools of pharmacy - Samford University, Virginia Commonwealth University, University of Michigan and the University of Maryland. Dr. Figg is also an Adjunct Professor at Columbia University's College of Physicians and Surgeons. He has trained Ph.D. graduate students from Oxford University, Johns Hopkins, University of Pittsburgh, University of Maryland and George Washington.
Dr. Figg is also a fellow in the American College of Clinical Pharmacy and a fellow in the American College of Clinical Pharmacology. He was named the Allen J. Brands Clinical Pharmacist of the Year in 2001, the Association of Military Surgeons of the United States in 2003 gave him the Clinical Pharmacist of the Year award, and he received the 2005 Leon Goldberg Young Investigator Award from the American Society of Clinical Pharmacology and Therapeutics. In addition, he received the 2008 Russell R. Miller Award and the 2008 ASHP Award for Sustained Contribution to the Scientific Literature. In 2009 he received the AMSUS Andrew Craigie Award for Outstanding Advancement of the Profession of Pharmacy. In 2011 he gave the Philip C. and Ethel F. Ashby Lecture at the University of Oklahoma.
Dr. Figg has over 500 peer-reviewed publications, has patented over 80 novel anticancer agents and devices and given over 150 invited scientific presentations/lectures throughout the world.
Research Focus - Pharmacology and Experimental Therapeutics
A successful drug development program requires a complete understanding of the pharmacology of the agents being evaluated.
Molecular Pharmacology Section
The Molecular Pharmacology Section (MPS) within the Medical Oncology Branch, CCR, NCI (the independent research section of Dr. Figg's) has, as its primary focus, understanding the pharmacology of new anticancer agents, using prostate cancer as the target disease and angiogenesis as the target pathway. The research within the MPS is focused on four major areas: development of anti-angiogenic agents, understanding the androgen regulatory pathway in prostate cancer, assessment of pharmacogenetic/pharmacodynamic biomarkers, and developing new treatments for castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC).
My laboratory has developed preclinical angiogenesis models (e.g., rat aorta, human saphenous vein) and high throughput screening assays to identify potential angiogenesis inhibitors and characterize their molecular pharmacology. We have a strong interest in developing targeted therapies against CRPC with a particular emphasis on the rational design and development of small molecule inhibitors of angiogenesis and of protein-protein interactions that have therapeutic potential for cancer therapy. The MPS has embarked upon an evaluation of several anticancer agents that appeared to inhibit tumor growth through novel mechanisms. Currently, in collaboration with several pharmaceutical/biotechnology companies, we are screening for compounds that inhibit angiogenesis. We are also designing new agents to hit key targets in this pathway. Using in vitro models optimized in our laboratory, we have identified several potential agents and are currently proceeding with preclinical testing that involve extensive dose-finding studies in the SCID model, mouse efficacy studies using PC3 and LNCaP prostate cancer xenografts as well as in mouse models of prostate cancer metastases. We have conducted phase I or phase II clinical trials of these agents in patients with prostate cancer.
For the past 15 years, we have been studying thalidomide and its analogs both in the laboratory and the clinic with encouraging results using rational therapeutic design. The antiangiogenic properties of thalidomide reported by D'Amato and colleagues prompted its clinical evaluation in various solid tumors, including prostate cancer. My laboratory subsequently determined that a metabolite of thalidomide was responsible for its antiangiogenic acitivity, and we have recently shown that thalidomide acts as an anti-androgen in cellular models of prostate cancer. The development of novel thalidomide analogs with better activity/toxicity profiles has been one of our ongoing research efforts, and in collaboration with several academic universities, we have synthesized over 187 thalidomide analogs and have screened them for activity as angiogenesis inhibitors. Based on the chemical structure of thalidomide, we synthesized several additional analogs including the N-substituted and tetrafluorinated thalidomide analogues as well as the glutarimide-derived metabolite of thalidomide, 5'-hydroxythalidomide. We have identified several extremely potent compounds in four different model systems and are moving those forward through clinical testing. We have also clinically evaluated thalidomide and lenalidomide as single agents and in treatment combinations with chemotherapy and other antiangiogenic agents in patients with CRPC.
We have integrated pharmacogenetics research in our drug development efforts by studying how germline genetic variants can alter pharmacokinetics, response, and toxicity of various anticancer agents, thereby contributing to inter-individual variation in clinical outcomes in therapies with an already narrow therapeutic window. We have established a molecular link between these polymorphisms and their phenotype as it relates to drug treatment. Our research has focused on genetic variations in drug metabolism and transporting candidate genes. We have characterized genetic polymorphisms that regulate androgens to better understand the associations between important androgen regulatory gene variants and prostate cancer progression.
Additionally, we have evaluated the impact of selected genetic polymorphisms in the androgen regulatory pathway on clinical outcomes in patients with prostate cancer. Several studies on the pharmacogenetics of membrane transporters, including adenosine triphosphate-binding cassette (ABC) transporters and organic anion transporting polypeptide (OATP) transporters, have linked transporter genotypes with clinical outcomes. Specifically, my laboratory has been studying OATP1B3, encoded by the SLCO1B3 gene, and its involvement in steroid hormone transport. We characterized its role in prostate cancer and the molecular mechanisms controlling its expression for future drug discovery efforts. We determined that the common SLCO1B3 334GG/699AA haplotype is associated with impaired testosterone transport and improved survival in patients with prostate cancer. Our findings further demonstrated that the specific polymorphism (334T>G) in SLCO1B3 increases testosterone import and is associated with a shorter time to androgen independence in patients with prostate cancer who are treated with androgen deprivation therapy (ADT). We are therefore interested in examining whether germline polymorphisms in other androgen regulatory pathways have the potential to be useful for prognosticating the response to ADT, designing clinical trials for patients who have poor germline prognostic features, and designing novel therapies targeted against genes that influence the response to ADT.
Clinical Pharmacology Program
The primary research interest of the Clinical Pharmacology Program (CPP) within the Office of the Clinical Director, CCR, NCI, is to use pharmacokinetic (PK) and pharmacodynamic (PD) concepts in the development of novel anticancer agents. We have divided this program into 5 cores: Blood Processing Core, Bioanalytical Core, Preclinical Pharmacokinetics Core, Pharmacometrics Core and Pharmacogenetics Core. Dr. Figg has headed the CPP for the past 20 years. The CPP is directly responsible for the PK/PD analysis of numerous phase I and II clinical trials conducted within the NCI. In addition, the CPP provides direct PK support for many studies performed elsewhere in the extramural community. The program provides bioanalytical support (LC-MS), pharmacokinetic analysis, and modeling of investigational agents or combination therapies. The CPP can also assist with determining protein binding, drug-drug interactions, concentration-effect analysis, drug metabolism and routes of elimination for new anticancer agents. We utilize compartmental and noncompartmental approaches to define the disposition of agents. The Blood Processing Core (BPC) can assist investigators within the NIH Clinical Center in the collection and processing of biological specimens (biological fluids). All samples will be processed according to the clinical protocol, bar-coded, and then entered into a database for sample handling and storage purposes. The BPC can handle the shipment of samples to intramural or extramural laboratories. The Preclinical Pharmacokinetics Core is open to collaboration for new anticancer agents that are being introduced into preclinical models and we can develop analytical methods to quantitate and characterize preclinical drug metabolism and pharmacokinetics in preclinical models. The Pharmacogenetics Core is responsible for correlating outcome observations (side effects, efficacy or PK results) with genetic variance (mutations or somatic) to identify key genetic determinants and biomarkers that predict response to specific treatments. The mission of the CPP is to fully characterize the clinical pharmacology of new anticancer agents entering the CCR clinics. Today, the CPP is the only group available for clinical pharmacology collaboration.

Finding yourself wide awake after a few hours of sleep, or waking often during the night is called "parasomnia" or "sleep maintenance insomnia," and it's much more common than people think. A 2005 National Sleep Foundation poll found that 75 percent of adults frequently have symptoms of a sleep problem, including waking during the night.
Just as the victims in slasher flicks make fatal errors (why are you running up the stairs?), we are often our own worst enemies when it comes to a solid night of sleep. "People think that because they're able to fall asleep they'll stay asleep, even if they've had too much caffeine," says Rubin Naiman, Ph.D., a sleep and dream specialist at Andrew Weil's Program in Integrative Medicine at the University of Arizona.
But for most of us, the culprit's not that ill-conceived espresso at 5 p.m. "The root of most sleep problems is stress," says Jeffrey Thompson, director of the Center for Neuroacoustic Research and creator of an audio sleeping aid called the Delta Sleep System. (Now that you know about Delta Sleep, how about getting acquainted with Delta Fit? The Speed Shred workout will blast fat and sculp muscles, igniting your body's metabolism in no time.)
We're overloaded, over-stimulated, and overwhelming our bodies' ability to relax. "Our nervous system is built for a sprint, but we're living in a stress marathon," he says. "If you go to bed worried you're probably going to wake up in the middle of the night," Dr. Naiman adds. And when that happens, as you probably know, the next day is pretty much shot.
Last night, 10 million men lost their struggle for a good night's sleep. Today, their jobs, maybe even their lives, are in jeopardy.
A new generation of sleep scientists are overturning the conventional wisdom about parasomnia. (Counting sheep? Out.) They say: You can do it. With a few simple changes in your routine, a little visualization, a couple of surprisingly counter-intuitive moves and perhaps an attitude adjustment, a peaceful night of slumber can be yours. Here's their best advice.
Throw out your definition of a good night's sleep
Just as three square meals a day has given way to all-day grazing and smaller portions, "what's good for you" has changed here, too.
"Thinking it's necessary to stay asleep for 8 hours straight may be unrealistic," says David Neubauer, M.D., associate director of the Johns Hopkins Sleep Disorders Center and author of Understanding Sleeplessness: Perspectives on Insomnia. "Just as we experience a dip in alertness mid-afternoon, the inverse is a dip in sleepiness in the middle of the night. There's strong evidence that there's a kind of awakening that's totally normal."
History supports this take, Dr. Naiman says. "Before the industrial revolution, people had their first sleep for 3 to 4 hours, awoke for an hour or two, then slept for another 3 or 4 hours."
Even waking every 60 to 90 minutes can be part of a healthy sleep pattern. The deeper stages of sleep, or REM (rapid eye movement) sleep, occur about every 90 minutes and get longer as the night goes on, so your brain might become more alert between those cycles.
Since we're conditioned to think that waking during the night is a problem, when it happens, we panic. That reaction causes our brains to awaken even further, Dr. Neubauer explains.
If you find yourself awake in pre-dawn hours, Dr. Naiman advises first assessing your physical state. Do you have an ache, a cramp, or need to go to the bathroom? If so, take care of it.
If you don't have a physical complaint, then chances are you are experiencing a normal stage of the sleep cycle. Knowing this "helps replace worries that you'll be useless without 8 solid hours of sleep with more neutral thoughts," suggests Sat Bir Khalsa, Ph.D., instructor in medicine at Brigham and Women's Hospital at Harvard Medical School. "The useful thought is: 'I can handle the disruption and still feel rested.'"
Get bed-ready
After an action-packed day (or one equally packed with worry), our brains need some time to catch up, to make order of things, and to slow their frenetic firing before we're ready to sleep. Pure bodily exhaustion can probably get you at least that first hour of dozing, but then worries will rise to the surface and cause you to stir. How can you get your mind to chill?
"We need to learn to apply the brakes before the car is in the garage," Dr. Naiman says. "Clearing your head is key to a good night of sleep." Simply taking 15 minutes to sit quietly, meditate, pray, or do rhythmic breathing can allow your mind to slow down enough to sleep through the night.
Establishing any ritual that you do before bed—anything but checking your e-mail!—will do more than relax you right then and there. The repetition also conditions your brain and body for sleep, Thompson explains.
While you're transitioning to Z-mode the same way night after night, you're also creating a Pavlovian response to your ritual. So simply sitting in the spot where you do your breathing or turning on the shower water signals your mind that it will be sleeping soon, Thompson says.
Another way to condition yourself sleepward is by playing off the body's internal clock. Dr. Naiman suggests simulating dusk about an hour before you plan to go to bed and dimming the lights significantly. This triggers natural circadian rhythms that help us prepare for sleep.
