SALT LAKE CITY (ABC 4 News) - Two major retailers took steps to stop selling semi-automatic rifles.On Monday, Dick's Sporting Goods and Walmart shutdown sales of these controversial weapons.Walmart sales affect only their internet sales.It's a move in the wake of the Connecticut school shooting that left 20 children and 8 adults dead."I defeintely do (support it)," says Jackie Heagy who was shopping near a Dicks Sporting Goods store in Salt Lake City. "I would be totally supportive of banning those kinds of weapons."Authorities in Connecticut are investigating to see if Adam Lanza, accused of shooting the children tried buying a rifle at a local Dick's Sporting Goods.The nationwide store had no comment about that latest development but focused on pulling guns off their store near Newton. In a statement issued by Dick's: "Out of respect for the victims and their families, during this time of national mourning we have removed all guns from sale and from display in our store nearest to Newtown and suspended the sale of modern sporting rifles in all of our stores chainwide.""It could be a good thing," says Richard Harmon who was shopping near Salt Lake City's Dick's store. "The problem is if not everybody does it, it doesn't solve the problem. It's more of a statement."Walmart confined their ban on semi-automatic rifles to internet sales meaning they're still being sold at their stores.At Kent Sports Store in Ogden owner Jeff Spencer says he has no desire to take his rifles off the shelf."I wouldn't even consider it," Spencer says. "They're weapons that are no different from those we have on the shelf and they're legal to own and legal to sell. We're not going to pull them off."

Water: ucmr1
Unregulated Contaminant Monitoring Rule 1 (UCMR 1)
The regulation for the first cycle of the Unregulated Contaminant Monitoring Rule (UCMR 1), covering the period 2001 - 2005, was published in the Federal Register September 17, 1999 for a list of 26 contaminants. UCMR1 was a redesign of the original UCM Program, and incorporated a tiered monitoring approach along with EPA implementation. UCMR1 had Assessment Monitoring (List 1) and Screening Survey (List 2) components.
Assessment Monitoring was conducted by large public water systems (PWSs) serving more than 10,000 people, and 800 representative small PWSs serving 10,000 or fewer people, for 12 List 1 contaminants. These contaminants were measured with analytical method technologies in common use by drinking water laboratories. Assessment Monitoring was conducted by each PWS over a 12-month period between 2001 and 2003.
Screening Survey monitoring was conducted by a randomly selected set of 300 large and small PWSs. There were 13 organic chemicals and one microorganism that were monitored for List 2 Screening Survey. Screening Survey monitoring for chemical contaminants was conducted in 2001 at selected small PWSs and in 2002 at selected large PWSs. Screening Survey monitoring for the List 2 microorganism, Aeromonas, was conducted in 2003 for both large and small selected systems.

Becta refers Microsoft to the UK Office of Fair Trading
Becta, the UK government's education technology agency, has today made a complaint to the UK Office of Fair Trading (OFT) for alleged anti-competitive practices by Microsoft in the schools software marketplace and in relation to Microsoft's approach to document interoperability.
An interim report published by Becta in January 2007 into Microsoft's Academic Licensing arrangements highlighted a number of fundamental concerns impacting on choice, competition in the marketplace and value for money for schools. Since the publication, Becta has been in discussions with Microsoft to secure the changes necessary to address the issues identified in both reports. Some progress has been made, though a number of fundamental issues remain unresolved. These centre around the limitations Microsoft places on schools using its subscription licensing arrangements and the potential interoperability difficulties for schools, pupils and parents who wish to use alternatives to Microsoft's Office suite, including 'free to use' alternatives.
Becta is determined to get the best deal it can for schools and for the wider educational system, and to make it as cost-effective and convenient as possible for educational customers to acquire the ICT products and services they choose. This demands an effective educational ICT marketplace and the avoidance of impediments to effective competition and choice.
As no agreement has been reached with Microsoft in a number of key areas, and after reviewing detailed legal advice, Becta has taken the decision to make a complaint to the Office of Fair Trading. It is hoped that by taking this step Microsoft will move promptly to address the issues raised.
In the interim, Becta's advice to schools considering moving to Microsoft's School Agreement subscription licensing model is that they should not do so. Schools must be legally licensed for all the software they are using, and if licensing Microsoft products is an imperative they should consider using a perpetual agreement such as 'Select' until such time as the OFT have responded to the complaint.
Microsoft is currently attempting to promote its proprietary OOXML format as an international document standard parallel to the free ODF standard. After failing to do so in the first round of voting by international standards organizations, Microsoft has until February to make changes (see the separate Linux Magazine news item here).

Six years ago, in August 2005, I made the choice to move away from home and head to Arizona to attend college. I lived in the Phoenix area for six years before moving back east in April. Arizona was a second home to me for so long that being away has been a huge adjustment. I am no longer able to see some of my best friends or hang out at the same places. The beautiful west coast sun setting over the mountains is no longer in view. I can no longer just pick up and leave for a weekend trip to Vegas or Los Angeles whenever I feel like getting away and I especially can no longer eat at all of my favorite food spots that I enjoyed for the past six years. These are just a few things that I may never get used to. I have lived back home for a mere 6 months now and I already made a trip back to Arizona; the planning of a second trip is quickly underway.
In a young city like Phoenix, where everything is built for convenience, it is hard to find good places to eat. Mom and Pop shops are hard to come by. Corporate commercialism definitely takes a front seat to family owned and operated businesses. Every large intersection holds home to a Wendy's, Subway, Carl's Jr., In-n-Out, Sonic, you name it and it's there. Being from New York, the immense variety of fast food in Arizona is one difference I noticed immediately upon moving. Needless to say, six years were necessary to weed out the mediocre and find the gems. Having friends that were from Arizona also helped and in taking their suggestions, I found some seriously great places to eat.
First, I must start with my absolute favorite place in Arizona. Pete's Fish & Chips is by far the place I have taken the strongest liking towards. This is the type of place I would have never gone to if it weren't for a close friend's recommendation. They have seven locations across the valley. The location I was always familiar with was close to the Arizona State campus in a gritty, seedy little neighborhood. It always looked so sketchy, I never thought the food would be such a delight. Pete's Fish & Chips or simply Pete's, as locals have come to call it, is a family owned and operated business that has been serving fresh, fast, reasonably priced food since 1947. For over 60 years they are obviously doing something right. My first time eating there I kept it simple and ordered chicken fingers and fries because I was reluctant to order fish from the desert. I know, it is totally unlike me but I entered the world of Pete's slowly and hesitantly. That day I tasted a bite of my buddy's fried shrimp and it was all over from there. I don't know what they do or how they do it, but this shrimp is literally addicting. I honestly could not even explain to you how good it is, it is just something you must try for yourself. The topper though is definitely Pete's special sauce. I have a friend who once worked at Pete's and he gave me the gist of their secret recipe, which by the way I feel honored to even sort of know. It is basically a mix of ketchup, tabasco, chili flake and a touch of vinegar. Pete's sauce is ridiculously tasty and versatile. Forget Frank's Red Hot, you would put this sh*t on everything. I have tasted several other items from Pete's menu, although it is really difficult for me to sway from those delicious golden little shrimp. The chicken sandwich is made with all white meat chicken and it may be the best chicken sandwich I have ever had. It is simply a chicken breast coated in bread crumbs; none of that processed garbage so often found these days. Pete's corn dog is by far the best corn dog I have ever had the pleasure of meeting. The outer dough is so soft and fluffy with a perfect dough to dog ratio. Basically, I am a Pete's Fish & Chips aficionado. I find myself having legitimate dreams of eating at Pete's and waking up only to feel disappointment and utter sadness. I look forward to my next trip to Arizona because Pete's is always my first stop directly from the airport.

My next greatest love is for a place I know simply as Oasis. Well actually, until recently, I just referred to it as the Mexican ice cream place, but then I learned it is called Oasis. It is a Mexican ice cream and snack shop. They specialize in raspados, shaved ice with flavored syrup; basically, a glorified snow cone. They have a counter with an assortment of fruits in their own syrup and you can create your own snow cone. There is also an option to make a raspado with ice cream. I always order a shaved ice with a scoop of vanilla topped with mango and pineapple. The shaved ice adds a great textural component while the ice cream gives it a smooth and creamy viscosity. I think the best part of it may be that they serve it with a straw as well as a spoon so you can drink up all the yummy goodness at the bottom of the cup.
Next stop, breakfast in the Southwest. Over the years, I have come to adore the flavors of Mexican chorizo. Mexican chorizo with eggs, potatoes and beans is not only my favorite meal for breakfast, it is something I love to eat at any time of the day. Serve it with a fresh flour tortilla and I am in heaven. Serve it to me after a night of drinking and I am in a food coma. Most places serve this with scrambled eggs, but when I make it for myself at home, I prefer my eggs sunny side up. The richness of the runny yolk pairs perfectly with the spicy, meaty chorizo. This meal is so hearty and inexpensive to make that it is now a staple in my kitchen. The place that was recommended to me for huevos con chorizo is called Los Dos Amigos, located on 27th Ave., just south of McDowell. It is owned and operated by an adorable woman and her husband. The woman takes all the food orders, cooks the food and then brings it out to your table. The food was fresh, fast, delicious and made with love.
It is so Arizona of them to have bars on the doors…as if someone can't
just shoot through the windows.
I know the food in the photograph does not look very
beautiful, but it does taste beautiful.
Driving near downtown Phoenix, I always saw this shady little building called Mrs. White's Golden Rule Cafe but it never looked like it was open. One day I happened to be watching a Food Network show where chefs take you to their favorite places to eat and there it was, the questionable little cafe on the side of the road. Mrs. White's has been an Arizona landmark since 1964 but in this case the people are wrong, very wrong. Upon arriving, I decided to take a seat at the counter instead of a table. It took what seemed like forever for my order to be taken and when I finally did order, they did not have the macaroni and cheese I wanted as a side. In the world of fried chicken, it is a sin to not have macaroni and cheese available as an accompaniment at all times. I had to settle for the rice with gravy and green beans as my sides. Ok so that was my second disappointment, first waiting to place my order and second, no macaroni and cheese. So now my order is placed, but wait….no flour?! Yes, the kitchen ran out of flour. This just amazes me because I am at a place that is known for their fried chicken so how on earth do they run out of flour? I had to wait until someone ran to the store and returned with the flour until I was served my meal. When my food was presented before me I dove right in. I was so hungry after waiting a year and a day for my plate. The rice and gravy was disgusting. It had no flavor and it was cold. The green beans were actually fairly decent, but also not hot. The cornbread they served, after I had to ask for it several times, tasted stale and old. The chicken was comparable to chicken you would find at KFC. My fried chicken blows Mrs. White's out of the water, but then again, I do make a mean fried chicken. This place is a mess. Completely disorganized and lacking. The service was horrible. The staff was walking around talking, laughing, yelling, acting like there were no customers there at all. When it came time to pay, the manager just punched some random numbers into a calculator and that was my total, not the pricing the menu listed. The coolest thing about this place is the picture on display of the late rapper Tupac Shakur eating there. I would never go back to Mrs. White's Golden Rule, and that is a bold statement.
There they are again, those infamous barred windows.
Last, but not least, pizza! Arizona is definitely not known for pizza, but when a New Yorker moves to Phoenix and sets up shop, good things happen. Pizzeria Bianco was opened by Chris Bianco in 1994 and has earned rave reviews ever since. This is a tiny establishment in downtown Phoenix so there is usually always a wait, a long wait. I have only had the pleasure of eating at Pizzeria Bianco twice. The first time I ate there, I waited 4 hours to be seated. Luckily, there is a little joint next door that collaborates with Bianco and offers small plates and wine to occupy you during your wait. On my second visit, I must have been very lucky because I only waited ten minutes before being seated at the bar. Pizzeria Bianco is a one-of-a-kind place in Phoenix. Everything is so fresh. The herbs used on the menu are grown in the backyard of the restaurant and all other ingredients come from local farms. Even the mozzarella is handmade. The pizza is cooked in a brick oven and Chris Bianco or his brother are always there making the pizza themselves to ensure great quality every time. The menu is small and simple, but nothing short of delicious. I hear they filter their water to get the same crust that makes New York pizza so famous and it works because their crust is perfection; just the right amount of char, crunch and chew. I ordered an appetizer of warm Italian fontina cheese wrapped in proscuitto di parma. It was served on a bed of the best arugula I have ever tasted in my life. The arugula was so tender and fresh. I ordered the margherita pizza and my favorite, the Biancoverde, a mix of fresh mozzarella, parmigiano reggiano and ricotta topped with fresh arugula. There are no secrets when it comes to Pizzeria Bianco. Everything is so straightforward and fresh. It just may be the best pizza I have ever had.
There is good food everywhere, sometimes you just need the patience to find it.
It took me a long time to find these places. There are more spots I have come to adore in Arizona
like my favorite Mexican spot, my favorite Chinese and my favorite Italian deli.
Those will be featured after my next trip to Arizona
which will be soon, but never soon enough.

A word for Walcott yesterday. He was quite bad in the first half but still contributed to the first goal with the little flick he set up RvP (who hit the post) He should have done better when he wrongly chose to square it to RvP when he could have had a run at the defence but in the second half he was great. Good thing for me was that despite the fans being on his back most of the first half he carried on and didn't let his head go down and was rewarded.
I know a few of you guys don't like him, and indeed now that Arshavin has gone he seems set to become the new scapegoat but in a better team he would be ripping defences apart. At the moment Opposition defenses know that if you keep Walcott quiet you'll shut down a large part of our attack. Just look at how different his game went when he was given time and space in the second half when Spurs were concentrating on getting a goal. Now imagine him in an Arsenal team who offerred more up front than just get it to Van Persie.
Don't get me wrong, there is still room for improvement, His decision making is often awful and often he can frustrate but he's still young and he still has plenty of time to improve, and, imo the talent to do it. I stand by my comment that we'd regret it if he went elsewhere.

Lately it`s been a rollercoaster ride being a Gooner. Fans of all teams have their moments of joy and despair. When you hit rocky times, bemoaning the state of affairs from the boardroom, manager to the players is the natural reaction and being a Gooner is no different. In our case we are moaning at a very high level. Worrying about not reaching the Champions League for the 16th season running whilst being heckled by idiots about lack of silverware, which we were in kissing distance of on many occasions, is .... well, it itches, for us. For them it`s like watching you shag Jennifer Aniston 16hrs long and wonder if it`ll ever end. Personally I´m enjoying the ride. Yesterday, under the circumstances, was up there with beating Barca, and not many teams can say that. Makes you want more...

The best Arsenal number-cruncher out there has digested our financial state. http://swissramble.blogspot.com/2012...ery-dance.html More or less confirms the laymans view. The new stadium has obviously penned us back. The sponsorship is meagre. We have been a selling club. The war chest was never that big. We are giving average players top wages. The impact of non-CLeague won`t be too bad if we don`t reach 4th. If we don`t reach 4th the impact would be pretty bad because the fans are paying top prices. Whether the FFP rule influences any of our good foundation work would be debatable considering the tax-breaks on community investment leverages, etc. It will be better for us when the sponsorship deals run out in 2014 and the costs of running a top 4 side be passed to the corporates and not the fans.

Hogwash. The German and English speakers among us would be well advised to take this with a bucket of salt. Being a köller, (cologne citizen), I was bombarded by my workmates all, bloody, day, long. In the other city boulevard, Express, they used the fact that the guy`d been in London in December as an indicator, even tho it was for an advertising shoot. At 10 a.m. I was told 18mil had been agreed between the clubs. 3 hours later it was up to 23mil! I think they need the headlines cos they know he`s leaving. Humbug & Hogwash...

Andrey Arshavin Bags Goal & Assist In 2-0 Win Over Denmark
Arsenal forward Andrey Arshavin put in a match winning performance as Russia beat Denmark 2-0 on Wednesday night. Arshavin has just left the Gunners to rejoin Zenit St Petersburg on loan until the end of the season and Arsene Wenger may be regretting his decision to let him go after seeing him grab as assist and score with a powerful 25-yard drive during a 2-0 win.
Bloody typical when he leaves us the lazy little gimp plays out of his skin.

A riveting book. Although I'm not too techie, the discussions on tech topics were pretty well explained that a less geeky person could understand. Now, after reading this, I find myself wishing that I had pursued an engineering or computer studies. Fantastic ideas, though a little scary. The author can really draw me into the story. Great Techno Thriller! Two thumbs up!

I need to come clean: I no longer embrace the opportunity to test a new boat with the same vigor and unbridled enthusiasm I did 10 years ago. Don't get me wrong — I love running boats, but admittedly the thrill has diminished slightly over the course of time. This is partly due to the fact that the majority of boats we run today are fairly predictable, which isn't necessarily a bad thing. Allow me to explain.
At last count, I had more than 125 tests under my belt. Some were memorable and some not so much. And some were memorable for being, well, not so memorable. Years back there were a few boats that did not hold up to our standards, and thus never made it into the pages of this magazine. There was the express cruiser that sank in its slip an hour before my sea trial — making it fairly difficult to complete a full evaluation. There was the boat that leaned out of its turn, and kept leaning, leaning and leaning, prompting the marketing manager to whisper "uh-oh" while edging toward the only PFD on board. And then there was the express cruiser that would require Shaq to stretch his toes while standing on a ladder to see over the bow from the helm. (The builder suggested adding an optional $2,000 video camera on the bow pulpit to avoid running over a cruise ship while under way.)
Yet today, with all of the advancements in design technology, precision mold machines and tank testing, a builder has to work fairly hard at creating a bad design. (Of course, there is a varying degree of quality in build processes.)
Then a boat, like the Sabre 48, comes along that causes me to stand at attention — a boat that tramples on the formula of predictability and reminds a jaded boat-tester like myself that running boats can still be thrilling (watch the video and see the gallery, too).
Sabre practices an "evolutionary versus revolutionary" design philosophy, according to Bentley Collins, Sabre's vice president of marketing and sales. Every new model relies on a strong, classical pedigree, displaying a family resemblance throughout the line. Yet, take a look at a 10-year-old Sabre and compare it with this 48, and it's obvious that the designers and engineers are not simply spitting out more of the same.
Sabre is one of the masters of building classically inspired Down East designs that incorporate modern styling details. Combined as a whole package, these details create a timeless, elegant, yet contemporary design. The proportions of the 48 work perfectly, in my opinion. The tumblehome of the transom flows seamlessly into a deck with moderate sheer, which benefits from a cabin house design that is absent of any harsh 90-degree angles. The rake of the after portion of the house flows into the vertical strut of the upper deckhouse, which is accented by the engine room vents that carry the same angle — Brooks Brothers meets Giorgio Armani.
The cockpit was another welcome surprise. Many traditional builders don't put as much effort into cockpit seating comfort as builders of more Euro-inspired designs. It's as if some Yankee boatbuilders feel the need to embrace their Puritan roots — a group of people so uptight that even the British told them to take a hike. The one-level arrangement of the 48's cockpit works extremely well for entertaining and allows for a seamless transition from the swim platform to the salon. A stainless-steel safety rail surrounds the aft three-quarters of the cockpit for additional security. An L-shape settee across the transom hugs a teak table and faces a bench settee across the aft bulkhead, allowing for a natural conversation pit at anchor or under way. This is where I would plant myself with a cup of coffee and the morning paper while on the mooring in a secluded cove. Our test boat featured an optional teak deck in the cockpit for a little extra security under foot. Sabre also offers a FreedomLift tender system on the platform to ensure that launching and retrieval are hassle-free.

East Rutherford's main attraction is The Meadowlands, a 700-acre sports and entertainment complex comprised of a stadium, an arena, and a horse racetrack. This massive venue hosts big-name concerts, and it is home to the New Jersey Nets, the New York Jets, and the New York Giants. Pope John Paul II once celebrated Mass at Giants Stadium before a record-breaking crowd of 83,000 people.

Hotel in undergoing renovations but didn't affect us since we were there on weekend. Walk to stadium is only like 20 min. Breakfast was decent with eggs, sausage, breads, sweets, fruit, yogurt, milks, waffles..free! And was one less meal to pay for! Short walk to Starbucks, chipotle, subway, Chili's, and couple little local restaurants. Bus stop to […] NY is right up front of hotel. You buy your ticket when you board. PURCHASE ROUND TRIP TICKET for ride back and be done with it. It's $8.50 Roundrtrip. Hotel has bus schedule. VERY EASY. Drop off in NY is 42nd&8th basically block away from Times Square. For price I think this was a great deal. Rooms are a bit dated and in-room AC a bit loud but you get used to it. They are remodeling so it will be better.

Disappointed that I made my choice of hotels by the rating of […] hotels.com of a 4-5. Clearly that was not a current rating. Breakfast was terrible couldn't find large plates or someone to get them.

Plus check out is at 12pm which is awesome!!! […] The hotel is close to MetLife Stadium but its actually a 30 minute walk for the average walker (we used a GPS walking app to see) but since we are fast walkers we did it in about 20-25 mins. My one complaint was that the hotel did not offer a shuttle to the stadium. They gave us a card for a company that would drive us there for $10 a person.

"Great value for the money - easy commute, clean"
Great hotel if you want to visit NYC and don't care for staying in Manhattan or don't want to lose time driving in NYC. The bus stops in front of the hotel and it takes 20-30 minutes to get into NYC at Port Authority terminal. We stayed here during winter, we did not need to turn on the heat too much, however you may find it noisy at times. It's a "in-room" […] unit so for some ligth sleepers it could be a problem (more so in the summer we think when you need the AC on). The bed was comfortable and the room a very good size (we had a king bed). Bath was roomy too. Moderate noise can be heard from the adjoining rooms or hallway, depending on the what other guests are staying there. The MetLife Stadium is close by so you may have some sports fans staying at the same time. We had breakfast and parking included. Breakfast was OK, nothing very fancy, but staff was refilling well and quickly.

We booked the hotel for two nights over Thanksgiving weekend. The staff is very friendly and helpful. The room was clean when we arrived as was the hotel in general.

We left the room for approximately 4 hours from 10 AM to 2 PM. We returned and placed the do-not-disturb sign out for about 3 hours. We left the room at 4:30 PM and returned at midnight. The room was not cleaned. I thought of telling the desk when we left in the afternoon, but our ride was waiting for us.

Department of Radiation Oncology • Abramson Cancer Center
At the Abramson Cancer Center and Penn Medicine, a team of specialists is exploring the use of radiotherapy for liver cancer. A leading cause of cancer deaths worldwide, hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is expected to increase in prevalence in the United States secondary to the aging cohort of patients with chronic hepatitis C infection and the rising incidence of cirrhosis from nonalcoholic steatohepatitis related to obesity.
Cholangiocarcinoma, a tumor originating in bile ducts, is also increasing in incidence. The latest SEER database analysis reports that ~16% of patients with primary liver cancer–most of which is HCC–survive five years. The majority of patients with cholangiocarcinoma die within 6 – 12 months of diagnosis.
Proton Therapy for HCC and Intrahepatic Cholangiocarcinoma
Liver transplantation offers a potentially curative treatment for many patients with HCC, but is not an option for patients with multiple, large or metastatic hepatic lesions or intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma. The efficacy of standard cancer treatments for HCC, including chemotherapy and radiation, is poor. Studies now suggest that proton therapy may offer improved local control and survival rates for these patients.Proton dose distributions can be designed that conform more closely to the tumor volume with a marked reduction in radiation exposure to the non involved liver. This allowes delivery of higher doses to tumors within the liver, an organ extremely sensitive to the effects of radiation.
The Abramson Cancer Center and Penn Medicine are participating in a multi-center phase II clinical study investigating the use of proton therapy in patients with unresectable primary hepatoma (hepatocellular carcinoma) or intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma.
Phase II study of proton beam irradiation of unresectable primary liver tumors [ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT00976898]
Objectives: The primary objective of this study is to demonstrate 2 yr LC of >80% with proton beam irradiation for unresectable hepatocellular cancer. This will be benchmarked against 2yr LC of 55%. Secondary objectives include a determination of the safety and tolerance of this treatment program, an evaluation of tumor response, patterns of failure and five-year overall survival, among other goals.
Methods: Patients will receive proton beam irradiation in 15 fractions over 3 weeks. Acute toxicity evaluations will occur weekly during study treatment, and at 3 month follow up. Thereafter, evaluation for tumor response will be conducted using Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors (RECIST) criteria and for acute and late toxicity per Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE ) v. 3.0.
The primary investigator for this trial at Penn is Edgar Ben-Josef. Please contact Kristi Varillo at 215.615.3273 for more information.
Proton/IMRT Case Study
RG, a 46 y.o. man, presented in 2009 with a large hepatic mass involving the entire left lobe as well as portions of segment 8. There was an additional 1.3 cm right hepatic tumor in segment 6, most likely multifocal HCC. He had an FNA and core needle biopsy confirming HCC. At that time his AFP was 70,000.RG had excellent responses to multiple chemoembolizations (6 total) and one radio embolization with Y-90 TheraSpheres®. In 4/12, however, an enlarged 2 cm pericardiac lymph node was noted, supplied by the right internal mammary artery. RG was treated with chemoembolization via the left hepatic artery and bland embolization via the right internal mammary artery, but his AFP continued to rise and imaging suggested progression of disease.
An MRI in 11/12 showed an enlarging right pericardiophrenic lymph node and a 6.2 x 7.1 cm tumor in the left lobe with multiple scattered foci of peripheral enhancement. RG was then referred for radiation therapy and received 55 Gy in 25 fractions, using a combination of protons and IMRT (Figures 1&2). His treatment was completed in 1/13.
RG had a very good clinical and radiographic response. An MRI in 7/13 demonstrated a decrease in size of the left lobe lesion (to 5.5 x 6.4 cm), as well as the size of the pericardiac lymph node. His AFP decreased from 375 to 1.2. He had no clinical toxicity and no change in liver enzymes.
TACE and SBRT for Patients Awaiting Liver Transplantation
Specialists at the Abramson Cancer Center and Penn Medicine have initiated a prospective randomized trial assessing the use of a powerful new technology, stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT), in combination with transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) versus TACE alone as a therapeutic bridge to transplantation.SBRT delivers highly focused radiotherapy to tumors in five or fewer fractions. Because the distribution of dose conforms so well to the target, very high doses (biologically more effective) can be delivered at any one session. SBRT also excells at limiting dose to normal tissue, and has been shown to be an effective therapy for liver metastases; with a short follow up of 2 years its efficacy rivals that of resection.
The Abramson trial will combine this technology with TACE in patients awaiting OLT. Theoretically, SBRT complements TACE by more easily targeting residual tumor cells at the periphery of a lesion and delivering higher doses to tumors partially shrunken by chemoembolization.
A pilot trial of transarterial chemoembolization with or without stereotactic body radiation therapy for hepatocellular carcinoma patients awaiting liver transplantation [ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT01918683]
Objectives: This study examines the efficacy of TACE with or without SBRT as a bridge to transplantation in patients with HCC awaiting OLT. The primary objective of the study is to determine whether adding SBRT to TACE improves local tumor control and rate of complete necrosis in patients with HCC.
Methods: Patients will be randomized into two arms: (A) TACE alone (i.e. control group) or (B) TACE combined with SBRT (i.e. experimental group). After initial TACE, patients will be followed with contrast enhanced MRI or CT scans at 1 month post-TACE and then every 3 months until OLT.
In Arm A, additional TACE of a previously treated lesion will be performed for (1) >50% viable tumor following initial TACE (i.e. less than a partial response by EASL criteria to initial TACE) (2) disease progression defined as >25% increase in amount of enhancing tissue in target lesion(s) and/or new enhancement in previously treated lesions warranting further locoregional therapy, or (3) as needed to maintain the patient within criteria for OLT. Patients with stable disease by imaging criteria otherwise will not undergo additional TACE.
In Arm B, SBRT will be performed after initial TACE. SBRT will only be performed on lesions previously treated by TACE (i.e. no HCC will receive SBRT only as a bridging therapy), and may occur as early as one month following TACE. Following SBRT, further treatment of a previously treated lesion with additional TACE will be performed for (1) disease progression or (2) to maintain patient within criteria for OLT. Patients with stable disease (SD) by imaging criteria otherwise will not undergo additional TACE of previously treated lesions.
Patients may undergo liver transplantation at anytime during the study period according to organ availability as governed by OPTN guidelines and the treating physicians in the Department of Transplant Surgery.
The primary investigator for this study at Penn is Edgar Ben-Josef, MD. Please contact Sally McNulty at 215.662.7720 for more information.

More quote details and news » among three hedge-fund titans so far has delivered a surprising result: The three activist investors are all winning despite being on opposite sides of the trade.
Three activist investors have squared off in a high-profile fight over Herbalife are all somehow winning. Justin Baer reports.
On one side is William Ackman, with a large bet against the nutritional-supplements maker he has called a pyramid scheme. On the other side sit Daniel Loeb and Carl Icahn, who have taken large stakes betting on Herbalife's resurgence.
Matt Collins
But for the time being, all three investors are in the black, showing that for all the bluster and bravado, timing is everything in financial markets.
Mr. Loeb has cashed out the most, whereas the others have made only paper profits. Mr. Loeb's hedge-fund firm, Third Point LLC, has made at least $50 million on its estimated bet of more than $200 million, according to a person familiar with the firm. As of several weeks ago, the firm had largely exited its Herbalife stake, according to people familiar with Third Point.
Mr. Icahn has made roughly $25 million in unrealized gains on his about $590 million bet.
Mr. Ackman's Pershing Square Capital Management LP has notched more than $200 million, also in paper profits, on a bet of more than $1 billion.
Daniel Loeb's Third Point made at least $50 million on its bet. Reuters
The profit estimate for Mr. Icahn is based on the average price at which he bought shares, according to an analysis of regulatory filings. Herbalife's stock price remains above Mr. Icahn's average cost per share despite Mr. Ackman's continuing criticism of Herbalife since his marathon presentation in December slamming the company. Herbalife has denied Mr. Ackman's assertions.
Mr. Ackman's profit estimate is based on the average closing price of Herbalife stock during the window in which he has said he sold short—or sold borrowed shares, betting he could profit by replacing the stock later at a lower price—more than 20 million shares.
But attempts by either to realize those gains could move the stock in ways that would erode their profits. A large selloff by Mr. Icahn would drive down the price; should Mr. Ackman move aggressively to cover his short, the price could rise.
"It's one thing to have a paper profit, it's another thing to actually realize the profits," said Tim Ramey, an analyst at D.A. Davidson & Co. who covers Herbalife.

Read more about some of the hedge-fund managers taking sides in the battle.

His paper losses on his roughly $800 million Penney investment currently stand at about $500 million, according to a person familiar with Pershing.
Messrs. Ackman and Loeb have taken opposite positions on Penney, as well, with Third Point having taken a short position in the retailer, according to people familiar with Mr. Loeb's holdings. It was unclear last week whether Mr. Loeb is still betting against Penney.

A win in Herbalife also would come as Mr. Ackman is trying to raise billions in permanent investor money, which would give him more control over his investments, and as Soros Fund Management within the past several months has asked to withdraw several hundred million dollars from the $12.5 billion firm. A Soros spokesman declined to comment.
One Pershing investor who asked not to be named said he isn't yet convinced the Penney overhaul will be profitable. Pershing's Herbalife bet also is a concern, the investor said, adding he hoped Mr. Ackman would exit his position if the stock price moved into the low- to mid-$20s. Mr. Icahn was a formidable adversary, he said.
Mr. Ackman has said, "Our target price is zero because we think the business will fail."
Herbalife shares closed at $37.45, down 33 cents, in New York Stock Exchange trading Thursday.
The Herbalife chapter is a turn for Messrs. Ackman and Loeb, New York billionaires who have cycled together, supported each others' charitable causes and, at times, invested alongside one another.

In 2007, Mr. Ackman started a $2 billion fund that bet only on Target's rise. Other hedge funds invested $1.3 billion in the fund, according to a February 2009 investor letter. Mr. Loeb's Third Point was one of them, according to people familiar with the firm. It was a blind pool, meaning investors committed money without knowing which company Mr. Ackman planned to target.
Investors learned the aim was Target through a securities filing, and some, including Mr. Loeb, shorted Target shares to limit their fund's exposure.
From the start of 2008 through January 2009, Target's stock tumbled 38% amid the financial crisis. Because Pershing had used options, which amplified the decline, the new fund fared even worse.
"It's a disaster," Mr. Ackman told the Journal in 2009. In the investor letter, he wrote: "I apologize profusely for the fund's results to date."
Mr. Loeb was unhappy enough that he asked to pull out of the fund early, and did, along with some other investors, people familiar with the fund said.
Whitney Tilson, a friend of Mr. Ackman's who invested in the fund, said his fellow investors were "incredibly sophisticated people who knew exactly what they were getting into." Mr. Ackman's response was "quite fair and generous," he said.
Mr. Ackman put $25 million of his own money into the fund to help let out investors early, according to people familiar with the fund. He also waived fees for all investors and applied the high-water mark—the point at which investment gains make up for any losses—to other investments they made or might make in his main fund, according to investor letters.
Mr. Ackman said most investors profited from other Pershing investments, and gave him more money in part because he had treated them fairly.
These days, distance marks the relationship between Messrs. Ackman and Loeb. "I certainly would have included him in the circle of people I knew and, up to now, had a pretty good relationship with" in the industry, Mr. Ackman said. Mr. Ackman said he was surprised by Mr. Loeb's Herbalife investment, noting that Mr. Loeb sent him a congratulatory email in December for his work on the company.
Mr. Ackman remains undaunted in his assertion that Herbalife is a pyramid scheme. He said last week he hasn't exited his Herbalife position, and believes he isn't taking undue risk because he has done his homework on the company. Publicly airing his criticisms of the company further reduces the risk he is taking, he said, with the cloud over the company helping to keep its stock price depressed.
"That dude has painted himself into a corner," said Robert Chapman Jr. , an Herbalife investor who has been critical of Mr. Ackman. "He better get it right."

Frederique Constant Amour Heart Beat Ladies Automatic Watch
Filed under: Timepieces / Watches
The case (available in steel or rose gold plated) is 34mm wide with a Swiss automatic movement, mother-of-pearl or otherwise decorated dials, and comes in three amusingly named color tones. You can get the Amour Heart Beat watches in "opaline white, sweet vanilla, or gourmet chocolate." Seriously, these are almost humorously targeted towards only women. The straps are either leather or satin. Frederique Constant will donate some money to the International Children's Heart Foundation with the sale of each watch. Look for these out now.
