Children's Health
More Sleep, Less Childhood Obesity
Feb. 12, 2008 -- Getting more sleep may help children avoid becoming overweight or obese.
That's according to a new review of 17 studies on sleep and childhood obesity.
The studies stretched from Europe to the U.S. to Asia. And around the world, the pattern was the same: Kids who didn't sleep enough were more likely to be overweight or obese.
Reviewer Youfa Wang, MD, PhD, an associate professor in the Center for Human Nutrition at Johns Hopkins University's Bloomberg School of Public Health, offers these tips for parents:
- Remove the TV, computer, and video games from kids' bedrooms. "Therefore, children can have more time to sleep rather than be tempted to engage in these activities," Wang tells WebMD.
- Set earlier bedtimes for kids. Wang suggests reading to young kids to help them get to sleep earlier.
- Beat the morning rush by preparing the night before. That way, the whole family can sleep a little bit later.
- Be a good role model for diet and exercise -- childhood obesity isn't just about sleep.
The review appears in February's edition of Obesity.
Children's Sleep: How Much Is Enough?
The new review used the following benchmarks for kids' sleep, including naps and nightly sleep, during a typical day:
- Younger than 5: at least 11 hours
- Ages 5-10: at least 10 hours
- Ages 10 and older: at least 9 hours
Those thresholds, which are based on previous research, may not apply to everyone.
"Some people, because of their own biological differences or their quality of sleep, may need fewer hours of sleep than others," Wang tells WebMD.
Studying Childhood Obesity and Sleep
In the reviewed studies, parents reported how long their young kids slept. Adolescents reported their own sleep habits.
Wang's team pooled all that data and compared it to the children's BMI ( body mass index), which relates height to weight.
Compared with kids who got enough sleep, those who fell at least two hours short of the sleep benchmarks were almost twice as likely to be overweight or obese.
Children who missed the sleep benchmark by an hour were 58% more likely to be overweight or obese than kids who got enough sleep.
"For each hour increase in sleep, the risk of overweight/obesity was reduced on average by 9%," the researchers write.
Why the Findings?
The reviewed studies were observational, so it's not clear which came first: extra pounds or less sleep.
It's also not clear how sleep affects children's weight. But Wang notes several theories:
- More time awake means more time to eat.
- Less sleep at night makes for drowsier, less-active days (and fewer calories burned).
- Sleep shortfalls may affect certain hormones. "This may increase people's feelings of hunger and also affect their energy expenditure," Wang says.
The links between sleep and BMI were stronger for boys than girls. The reason for that isn't clear, Wang says.

text: Briefly Noted November 17, 2008 Issue The Northern Clemency by Philip Hensher (Knopf; $26.95) Table of Contents The English middle class is scrutinized in this sprawling account of two families on an affluent Sheffield housing estate. The Sellerses, carried north by a job transfer with "the Electricity," arrive on Rayfield Avenue in 1974, just as Katherine Glover is stamping to death her youngest child's illicit pet snake in front of the house opposite. Despite this traumatic beginning, the Sellerses and the Glovers gradually develop the ties of proximity—teen-agers becoming friends, younger children caught up in playground games, wives sharing confidences and glasses of wine. Hensher's attention is on the foreground, revealing ordinary life through impressive, often funny set pieces and assiduously observed dramatic episodes, which almost compensate for the lack of an organized plot. The transformative events of the Thatcher years (notably, the local coal miners' strike of 1984) unfold in the distance; "clothy" vol-au-vents are as indicative as miners' wives collecting donations of tinned food. ♦ You Might Like Jigsaw Puzzle Strongbox Submissions Goings On App About Us Caption Contest The New Yorker Festival ✕ The New Yorker Strongbox Strongbox is a new way for you to share information, messages, and files with our writers and editors and is designed to provide you with a greater degree of anonymity and security than afforded by conventional e-mail.

Dear Ananyaucs,
There are a lot of programs being sold that will not be of lasting value. Great leadership is able to achieve up to 500% performance gains by creating a highly motivated, highly committed, and fully engaged workforce with very high morale and innovation literally loving to come to work.
Great leadership starts from the top and consists of simply listening to and responding to the concerns of employees to their satisfaction or better. This is how to energize customers whether external or internal because all people respond the same way to such leadership that reflects the highest standards of all values. We all love to go to a restaurant that treats us like a celebrity and whose service and food reflects standards that are simply out of sight. The same is true for loving to go to work at a place that treats us so well because in order to pay back for such treatment we literally throw everything we have at our work, both on the job and off.
If you want more information, visit my website. If you are serious, your top leadership will need some coaching which we can provide.
Best regards, Ben Simonton

My (Jewish) mother sent me back to school after Spring Break with a box of matzah.
So during the actual week of Pesacchhh, I ate a few sheets of matzah with dinner, but then that was it. Cause it sucks.
The thing is that Passover actually is probably the best holiday of the year on the first two nights or so, when you have a seder and everything. But then it seems like the rest of the week is just a big quest to get rid of the matzah as fast as you can. Cause it sucks.
- Matzo Brei.
- Matzo w/ butter or jam for breakfast.
- Matzo Brei
- Matzo Brei
Then I found this recipe courtesy of the Jew and the Carrot:
Maple Pecan Matzah Granola1/4 c. butter
1/2 c. maple syrup
6 c. matzah farfel
1 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 c. chopped pecans
1/2 c dried cranberries
Preheat oven to 350F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper- set aside. In a saucepan over med. heat melt butter and then mix in maple syrup. In large bowl combine matzah farfel, cinnamon, and pecans. Pour in butter-syrup mixture and mix well, until all farfel is coated with syrup. Spread "granola" on baking sheet. Bake for 20-25 minutes, stirring every 8-10 minutes. Remove from oven when golden and crunchy, toss dried cranberries into the mix- allow to cool. Enjoy with milk, on top of yogurt or cottage cheese.

Buffalo, NY (WKBW-Release)
Are you unable to complete and file your federal individual tax return by the April 18 deadline? If so, you can request an extension of time to file, which will automatically give you until Oct. 17, 2011, to submit your tax return to the Internal Revenue Service.
An extension gives you an additional six months to file your tax return. But keep in mind that an extension of time to file is not an extension of time to pay. All outstanding balances are due on April 18, 2011.
"The IRS expects to receive approximately 560 thousand extension requests from New Yorkers in 2011" said Dianne Besunder, IRS spokeswoman for New York. "Nationally we are expecting about 10 million extension requests," she said.
Numerous Ways to Get an Extension
In order to get an extension, you need to file Form 4868 with the IRS.
Taxpayers can electronically file Form 4868 through IRS Free File or Free File Fillable Forms. Using Free File to prepare and electronically submit Form 4868 is free to everyone, regardless of income.
Paid preparers can also electronically file Form 4868 as can tax software that you run on your computer.
Finally, a paper version of Form 4868 is available for download from IRS.gov. However, the IRS will only provide an acknowledgement of your extension request if you e-file or Free File the request.
When you request an extension, you need to estimate your tax liability and pay any balance due by the April 18 deadline. If you are unable to pay the total balance due, you should pay as much as possible and apply for an installment agreement.

Texas Chainsaw Massacre [2003]
Sheriff Hoyt:
I bet she's real unhappy, real sorry that you're getting fuckin' her blood all over your goddamn arm. You know, back when I was a young patrolman, I used to love wrapping up these young honies.
Yeah, I bet you did.
Sheriff Hoyt:
Yeah, cop me a little bit of a feel every now and then, you know. Oh, look at that. She's kind of wet down there. What you boys been doing with this dead body anyway?
Can we please finish this?
The film which you are about to see is an account of the tragedy which befell a group of 5 youths. It is all the more tragic in that they were young. But had they lived very, very long lives, they could not have expected, nor would they have wished to see as much of the mad and macabre as they were to see that day. For them, an idyllic summer afternoon became a nightmare. For 30 years, the files collected dust in the cold-cases divison of the Travis County Police Department. Over 1,300 pieces of evidence were collected from the crime scene at the Hewitt residence. Yet none of the evidence was more compelling than the classified police footage of the crime-scene walk-through.
The events of that day were to lead to one of the most bizarre crimes in the annals of American history - the Texas Chainsaw Massacre.
Yo, Kemp, can you do something about the A.C. back here? I'm melting.
No. But if you or Pepper get too hot, you could always take your clothes off.
You'd like that, wouldn't you?
You are such a perv. Don't listen to him, Pepper.
Why not? I think he's funny.
She's only known you for 19 hours. I've lived with him for 3 years, and trust me, he is not funny.
Sheriff Hoyt:
How about giving me a hand here, asshole? You don't expect me to do this by myself? I need some help.
Why do I always get yanked into this shit? What am I doing?
Sheriff Hoyt:
Lift her up and just kind of pull her over your way there. She ain't gonna bite you. She's deader than a goddamn doornail. Get a-hold of her and pick her up.
What are we gonna do?
I don't know... uh... we gotta call the cops, I guess.
Um, yeah, on a list of bad ideas, that one goes, way up there. Oh, police officers, please, as you inspect a crime scene, which is now our van, please, ignore the colorful pinata, filled with marijuana, in case you happen to come across it, because it played no part, you know, whatsoever in the demise of this unfortunate, young, woman.
Sheriff Hoyt:
Is that where she was sitting? Because the angle don't add up for me with the blood on that back window.
Maybe she was a bit more in the middle.
Sheriff Hoyt:
Well, maybe you ought to move a little more over to the middle.
Sheriff Hoyt:
What, are you afraid of a little blood? Get the fuck over there!

PARIS: Scientists have cracked a 75-year-old riddle involving the Möbius strip, a mathematical phenomenon that has also become an art icon.
Popularised by the Dutch artist M.C. Escher, a Möbius (or Moebius) strip entails taking a strip of paper or some other flexible material. You take one end of the strip, twist it through 180 degrees, and then tape it to the other end.
This creates a loop that has an intriguing quality – dazzlingly exploited by Escher – in that it only has one side.
See Escher's Möbius Strip II (1963) from the M.C. Escher Foundation web site.
Mathematical conundrum
Since 1930, the Möbius strip has been a classic poser for experts in mechanics. The teaser is to resolve the strip algebraically – to explain its unusual shape in the form of an equation.
Now, in a study published in the journal Nature Materials that lyrically praises the strip for its "mathematical beauty," Gert van der Heijden and Eugene Starostin of University College London, in England, present the solution.
What determines the strip's shape is its differing areas of "energy density," say the experts in non-linear dynamics.
"Energy density" means the stored, elastic energy that is contained in the strip as a result of the folding. Places where the strip is most bent have the highest energy density; conversely, places that are flat and unstressed by a fold have the least energy density.
If the width of the strip increases in proportion to its length, the zones of energy density also shift, which in term alters the shape, according to their equations. A wider strip, for instance, leads to nearly flat, "triangular" regions in the strip, a phenomenon that also happens when paper is crumpled.
Not just esoteric
The research may seem esoteric, but van der Heijden and Starostin believe it also has practical applications.
It could help predict points of tearing in fabrics and also be useful for pharmaceutical engineers who model the structure of new drugs.
"One of the classic problems in mechanics is to find the shape assumed by a Möbius strip – the famous band that is closed with a half-twist and which has the intriguing topological property that it only has one side," said mathematician John H. Maddocks in an accompanying commentary that also appeared in Nature Materials.
"This abstract mathematical question, dating back to at least 1930, is also of practical scientific interest as single crystals in the form of a Möbius band have now been grown," said Maddocks, of the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne, who was not involved in the study.
The Möbius strip was named after a German mathematician, August Ferdinand Möbius, who discovered it in 1858. Another German, Johann Benedict Listing, separately discovered it in the same year.

|Lee Bontecou
Untitled, welded steel, canvas, black fabric and wire, 1959
January 15, 1931
Providence, Rhode Island, U.S.
|Art Students League of New York
|Known for
|Sculpture, Printmaking
|Fulbright scholarship, Rome 1957-1958; Louis Comfort Tiffany Award, 1959
Lee Bontecou (born January 15, 1931 in Providence, Rhode Island) is an American sculptor. She attended the Art Students League of New York from 1952 to 1955, where she studied with the sculptor William Zorach. She received a Fulbright scholarship to study in Rome in 1957-1958 and the Louis Comfort Tiffany Award in 1959. From the 1970s until 1991 she taught at Brooklyn College.
She is best known for the sculptures she created in 1959 and the 1960s, which challenged artistic conventions of both materials and presentation by hanging on the wall like a painting. They consist of welded steel frames covered with recycled canvas (such as conveyor belts or mail sacks) and other found objects. Her best constructions are at once mechanistic and organic, abstract but evocative of the brutality of war. Art critic Arthur Danto describes them as "fierce", reminiscent of 17th-century scientist Robert Hooke's Micrographia, lying "at the intersection of magnified insects, battle masks, and armored chariots...".[1] She exhibited at Leo Castelli's art gallery in the 1960s, and one of the largest examples of her work is located in the lobby of the David H. Koch Theater at Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts in New York City.
She retired from the art world to Orbisonia, Pennsylvania.[1][2] After decades of obscurity, she was brought back to public attention by a 2003 retrospective co-organized by the Hammer Museum in Los Angeles and the Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago, that traveled to the Museum of Modern Art in New York City in 2004. The retrospective included both work from her public, art-world career and an extensive display of work done after retreating from the public view.[1] Bontecou's work was also included in the Carnegie International 2004-5 exhibit in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. In 2004, Bontecou was elected into the National Academy of Design.[3]
The Cleveland Museum of Art, the David H. Koch Theater (New York City), the David Winton Bell Gallery (Brown University, Providence, Rhode Island), the Herbert F. Johnson Museum of Art (Cornell University, Ithaca, New York), the Honolulu Museum of Art, the Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago, the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, the Museum of Modern Art (New York City), the National Gallery of Art (Washington D.C.), the Walker Art Center (Minneapolis), and the Whitney Museum of American Art (New York City) are among the public collections holding major works by Lee Bontecou. In 2010, the Museum of Modern Art presented a retrospective of Bontecou's work entitled All Freedom in Every Sense.[2]
A picture of Bontecou working in her studio, taken by Italian photographer Ugo Mulas in 1963, was used as the cover art for Spoon's 2007 album Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga. The apparently completed sculpture on the right is now in the collection of the Honolulu Museum of Art (see Gallery below).

Filmgoers brought big appetites for "The Hunger Games" to box offices over the weekend as the blockbuster movie added $95.9 million in global ticket sales and pushed the worldwide total since its record-setting debut to $365 million.
The Lions Gate Entertainment <LGF.N> movie about teenagers forced into a deadly survival match ranked No. 1 for the second straight weekend on domestic charts. Ticket sales in the United States and Canada reached an estimated $61.1 million from Friday through Sunday, according to studio estimates.
At international theaters, "Hunger Games" pulled in $34.8 million over the weekend. The massive worldwide total since the movie's release 10 days ago reached $364.9 million.
The film dropped 60 percent domestically from its huge opening a week ago. The drop is consistent with the performances of other big film franchises such as "Twilight" and "Harry Potter," said David Spitz, executive vice president of domestic distribution for Lions Gate Entertainment <LGF.N>.
"That shows the staying power of the film. Word of mouth is clearly taking hold," Spitz said.

10 ways to win any argument
How to get your own way
Surely those who win arguments win because they are in the right? If you believe that then you've probably been losing most of your fights. To win you don't necessarily have to be right, you simply have to be armed with the right tactics. Yet, if you missed the seminar about persuasive tactics that everyone else around you seemed to have attended, then read on and discover 10 ways you can in an argument.
Help them out
If you want to win any argument you need to make sure that you help the person you are battling with. Although it sounds odd, studies have found that if you give something to someone first they are more likely to be more generous to you in return. So, if you want to win an argument with your partner, for example, tell them that you'll pay for dinner and then hit them with the fact that you're moving three hundred miles away for a new job... Good luck with that one by the way.
Eye contact
To win any argument you need to be as socially slick as the next American president. One of the most basic and effective social skills that can be used to help you win any argument is maintaining good eye contact. Make sure that during the argument you repeatedly look your opponent in the eyes, especially when you are stating your case.
Get real
The most common way people lose in arguments is when they stop thinking logically and pour their emotions into wild accusations and false claims. Suggesting that your boyfriend has not slept in the same bed as you in years when they actually slept with you last weekend immediately weakens your argument and belittles your stand. Avoid over-exaggeration and your argument will gain strength.
Sometimes highlighting your weaknesses makes you stronger. A study looked at letters from job applicants and found that the most successful candidates revealed their weakness and followed this by stating their main strength. Researchers believe that those who talked about their weaknesses were considered more trustful than those who did not and were therefore more successful. Use this method in your arguments and you should win every time.
If someone tells you to buy a broken washing machine you are unlikely to take them up on their advice. Yet if someone tells you to buy a broken washing machine because if you don't you might lose money, you are far more likely to buy the faulty washer. This basic principle can help you to win any argument because it demonstrates that highlighting the losses the other person may suffer as a result of not doing as you want is powerful and will encourage them to take on your viewpoint.
If you've ever waded into an argument with someone who is not being clear about what they want or what they are disputing, you'll know how easy it is to beat them. Do not be that person. To win any argument you have to be clear. Give your argument structure and do not speak for the sake of speaking. To keep your argument focused state your point and then back your point up with one or two pieces of evidence.
Counter argue
A great way to win any argument without coming to blows is to counter argue. Think about who you are battling with and consider what they might say in retaliation to your point. Then, before they are able to raise these issues, tell them that you've thought about their opinion and that although X may be a problem the solution is Y.
Think back to past arguments you have had and lost. If you became angry during these fights then chances are you did not get your own way. When you lose your temper you become irrational, erratic and inarticulate; all of the qualities that will disarm you in a fight. The next time you get into an argument try to consider it as if it was simply a discussion. Make sure you breathe and never raise your voice. Sticking to these instructions and staying calm will transform your stance and make the other person listen to you.
If daytime TV has taught us anything it's that hard-up actors playing witty lawyers only win arguments using facts. Do not dare to enter into an argument unless you have first listed out some key facts that will help you to back up your point. For example, if your partner accuses you of never cleaning up gently point out that you did in fact clean the house three weeks ago and that you've been working late and so haven't had the time to clean too.
Persuasive words
Think about those times when you've been persuaded to buy a product that you didn't really need. How did they convince you to buy the item? Chances are they used persuasive words to change your way of thinking. Like the advertisers, you can use persuasive words to change the perspective of the person you are arguing with. For example, if you want to go on vacation but your partner does not, set the scene. Talk about lazy afternoons on the beach, icy cocktails and passionate nights in your hotel room.

Boy did I struggle coming up with a name for this tuna salad. The tuna I used is Italian tuna, the feta is Greek, the veggies are chopped but not necessarily in the traditional "chopped salad" form, and it's definitely not just a tuna salad…can we be okay with naming it Mediterranean Chopped Tuna Salad and calling it a day?
There a couple reasons why I'm loving this salad so much lately. One, it's incredibly filling and full of flavor. Two, it's low in calories, carbs and is helping me lose weight! For the last couple of weeks, my husband and I have been buckling down and tracking our food and activity in My Fitness Pal, as well as using our Fitbits to keep us motivated to move. I'm happy to report that in just a couple of weeks of really paying attention to what we are eating and how much exercise we are getting in, we are both losing weight at a healthy, steady pace.
It's no secret that I've been trying to shed some baby weight for the last 10 months and I've been majorly frustrated lately because I've been stuck at a weight since February. Unfortunately for me (as I'm sure many others), my weight tends to affect my mood more than I'd like to admit. I get by by wearing yoga pants most of the time, but when it's time to put on real clothes I usually get hit with a reality check that doesn't make me feel all that good (ugh). My goal has never been to be "skinny" but to be comfortable in my skin, be healthy and fit and feel good about myself in my clothes. For me to get back to that place, I know I need to muster up a little extra will power and motivation and make smart choices, keep my calories in check and move more. So that's what I'm doing! (Believe me it has not been easy. But with each successful day that passes it gets easier, more routine and more doable. I am looking forward to reaching my goal!)
I have made myself this salad recipe a couple times in the last few weeks, most recently this weekend for both my husband and myself. It's obvious that I love it, but I was extra happy to see that my husband loved it too, especially because he has never been a huge tuna fish lover (like I am). It's light, filling and simple. It is great for lunch, but would make a nice healthy dinner salad too. Feel free to add whatever veggies you have on hand (if I had cucumbers and tomatoes they would have made it into my bowl). Also, I have been cutting back on salad calories lately by just dressing my salads with red wine vinegar, oregano, salt and pepper. If you want to add a drizzle of olive oil, feel free to, but if you love vinegar like I do then I think you will enjoy this just how it's prepared.
Great for lunch or dinner, this Mediterranean Chopped Tuna Salad is light, full of flavor and won't leave you hungry!
- 1 can Italian tuna in olive oil, drained well (or whatever light tuna you prefer)
- iceberg lettuce, chopped
- 1 celery stalk, sliced or chopped
- green bell pepper, sliced or chopped
- sliced or chopped sweet onion
- 1/4 cup crumbled feta
- red wine vinegar
- dried oregano flakes
- salt and pepper to taste
- Add lettuce, celery, pepper and onion to your salad bowl. Top with feta and tuna. Splash with red wine vinegar and sprinkle with oregano, salt and pepper, to taste.
Use whatever veggies you have on hand to make your salad your own! Optional add ins: tomato, cucumber, olives

WASHINGTON – When the voting ends in Tuesday's presidential election, the campaigning will just begin for one and possibly two Senate seats.
That's because whoever wins the White House, one or two Senate vacancies will be created.
If Democratic Sen. Barack Obama of Illinois is victorious, he will have to vacate his Senate seat, as will his vice presidential running mate Joseph Biden of Delaware. If Republican Sen. John McCain of Arizona scores a come-from-behind White House win, he'll do the same.
Replacements for any of the three men will probably be up to three Democratic governors: Rod Blagojevich in Illinois, Janet Napolitano in Arizona and probably Ruth Ann Minner in Delaware.
Minner leaves office on the day the next president and vice president are to be sworn in, Jan. 20. It's unclear whether she or her successor would fill a Biden vacancy since it's not certain when Delaware's new governor will take office that day.

Photos and Description of this 4 bedroom holiday home in Almogia - Casa Almogía
Villa, 4 Bedrooms, 2 Bathrooms, (Sleeps 8)
Casa Almogía is a nicely located, luxurious holiday house with a private swimming pool in the middle of nature and breathtaking Andalusian landscapes. It is an ideal starting location for all kinds of excursions thanks to its central location in Andalusia: from a day out sunbathing on the beautiful beaches of the Costa del Sol (40km.) to robust hikes in the national El Torcal nature park. In addition, the villa is only 15 km from the golf courses of Antequerra.
Casa Almogía lies between Almogía and Villanueva de la Concepción, 45 km to the north of Málaga, in a small, nice urban area of typically Spanish white villas, each with its own style and character. It is easily accessible by paved roads. The holiday house looks out on the valley and the hills, the view is breathtaking and the sunrise and sunset here is truly spectacular. All this is also accentuated by the beautiful garden (3000 m2) full of Mediterranean plants where the agaves and the bougainvilleas set the trend.
You can enjoy all of this from the large private terrace with swimming pool to the south. Outside, a driveway leads through the garden to the garage on the side of the house, where there is a covered patio with door to the kitchen. You can get to the backside of the villa, a kind of large inner courtyard, along the back of the garage. Everything is here for you to enjoy your vacation; only you, your family and your friends are needed to make it all happen. You are most welcome in Casa Almogía!

Failure of Conventional Therapies in Curing Chronic Diseases has Created High-unmet Needs
Conventional therapies such as chemotherapy and hormone therapy, although controlling progression of diseases, are often associated with potential side-effects. For example side-effects due to chemotherapy in cancer range from nausea and hair loss to thrombocytopenia and neutropenia. Patients often succumb to death due to the side-effects and not the cancer. Chemotherapies do not possess the selective target characteristics. Once administered, they induce systemic action throughout the body leading to these potential side effects.
Targeted therapies such as monoclonal antibodies have thus far shown better efficacy and safety profiles compared to chemotherapies. However, they too do not induce complete remission of the disease. They either reduce signs and symptoms of the disease or slow down the growth of tumors. The inability of these therapies to cure diseases has created significant unmet needs in cancer, hepatitis, HIV and autoimmune diseases.
Expanded Indications Opens up New Potential Patient Group
Many marketed monoclonal antibodies such as Avastin, Rituxan, and Remicade are being approved for multiple indications resulting in increased potential patient pool for these products. Alemtuzumab, which is approved for b-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia, is in phase III clinical trials for multiple sclerosis. Remicade is approved to treat plaque psoriasis, rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, adult Crohn's Disease, pediatric Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, and ankylosing spondylitis. Remicade is also in Phase III clinical trials for the treatment of juvenile rheumatoid arthritis and in Phase II clinical trials for the treatment of sarcoidosis, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), cachexia, and asthma. Enbrel, has been approved for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis, juvenile idiopathic arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, psoriatic arthritis, and plaque psoriasis
The same trend is also seen within the monoclonal antibody pipeline also. A majority of pipeline molecules are researched for multiple indications to maximize their patient base. Ocrelizumab is in phase III clinical trials for rheumatoid arthritis and lupus nephritis; phase II clinical trial for relapsing remitting multiple sclerosis
Furthermore, monoclonal antibodies are breaking grounds into new therapy areas such as CNS disorders and metabolic disorders. Bapineuzimab is in clinical trials for Alzheimer's disease while teplizumab is in clinical trials for diabetes.
Sales Value of Key Small Molecule Drugs for Targeted Therapeutics is Increasing by Every Passing Year
The sales value of small molecule drugs such as Gleevec, Tarceva, Velcade and others is increasing by every passing year because of their increased penetration into the therapeutics segment. Pharmaceutical companies are switching towards targeted therapeutics because of declining revenue generated by conventional drugs.

TT is a lucrative sector in the pharmaceutical market to maintain competency and revenue generation. Key promising drugs in the pipeline of small and growing companies are attracting large pharmaceutical companies for licensing and M&A deals. This has resulted into increased number of licensing and M&A deals in TT market.
Regulatory Landscape for TT is Stringent Leading to Time Lag between Research and Commercialization
The regulatory policies for TT are different from that of conventional therapies. This is due to the ethical and social issues involved in some of the targeted therapeutics such as gene therapy and stem cell therapy. Different countries have established different regulatory agencies for TT in general and gene therapy and stem cell therapy in particular.
The European Commission has considered Gene therapy, Somatic cell therapy and tissue-engineered products under Advanced Therapy Medicinal Products (ATMP). These regulations get modified with the advancing novel technology and breakthroughs.

When other kids stayed home from school during a snow day last month, Robert Maino headed with his mother to the halls of the General Assembly.
The debate around the autism bill fascinated him, so his mother encouraged him to write a letter thanking the bill's supporters.
Christopher Newport University freshman, has Asperger's syndrome, a mild form of autism.
His letter captured the attention of legislators, who invited him to speak.
His story about his struggles and how early intervention paid off helped put a face on the bill, which supporters spent four years trying to get passed.
"They hadn't heard from somebody who lived it," said Marybeth Maino, Robert's mother.
Four years ago, a coalition of families across Virginia called the Virginia Autism Project set out to lobby for better treatment of children with autism. This year, the General Assembly listened.
Legislators passed a bill requiring health insurers to cover the diagnosis of autism spectrum disorder and treatment using applied behavior analysis for children ages 2 to 6, subject to an annual maximum benefit of $35,000. It exempts individual or small group policies. It awaits the governor's signature to make it law.
"It's amazing," said Mark Llobell, a Virginia Beach resident and a founding member of the Virginia Autism Project. "Any step that you can take to help a child live a successful life is a huge step."
Llobell's grandson was diagnosed with autism and was completely nonverbal by the age of 2. His doctor prescribed applied behavior analysis, but insurance wouldn't cover it. The family paid upwards of $50,000 out of pocket for it. Now he's talking and attending public school.
"We were fortunate enough to have some savings to be able to do that," Llobell said. "We want to make sure that every child and every family that has a child with autism has that same opportunity. It's really our goal to touch as many of these children early (as possible) and get them back into the mainstream of society."
Autism spectrum disorders are a group of developmental disabilities that range from mild to severe. Symptoms vary and can include impaired social interaction and repetitive movements.
Applied behavior analysis is an intensive treatment that retrains the child's brain to think, act and communicate with others. A board-certified behavioral analyst works with a child one on one, finds out what motivates and interests the child and rewards him or her for participation. The analyst constantly must regain the child's interest and focus.
"It's very expensive and very extensive treatment to get into the inner working of that child's brain to find out what makes them tick," Llobell said.
But it'll save money in the long run. According to a 2009 Joint Legislative Audit and Review Commission study, education savings of $187,000 or more per child can be achieved with early intensive treatment.
A Harvard study found that it costs on average $3.2 million to care for someone with autism throughout his or her lifetime. Those costs would be reduced if intervention happens early and the child is able to become a productive member of society, Llobell said.
Insurance companies denied covering the treatment because it doesn't "cure" autism, Llobell said. But it does create a meaningful difference in the way a child communicates.
"Without that intervention, the child will live in a world of their own. They'll watch a fan spin around for hours," Llobell said. "They and their families would live in a world of isolation."
The bill faced stiff opposition from insurance and business lobbyists who thought it would push costs up.

Facebook Founder Reveals Vision for a More Social Internet
|Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg
In his keynote at the annual Facebook Developer Conference in San Francisco, company founder Mark Zuckerberg described a vision of a more social Internet that could be created with a technology called "Open Graph".
"It's all about real friends, real identity," said Zuckerberg. "We're building towards a web where the default is social."
Zuckerberg said the Internet today is a set of separate networks that can't easily share social information across different sites. Even on Facebook , where sharing is encouraged, user updates are ephemeral, he said.
"When you post something, it shows up in the stream, but will only be seen by friends who happen to be on in the next three hours," said Zuckerberg. "And then it floats away."
Zuckerberg says Open Graph will solve these problems. Here's how Open Graph works:
When a Facebook user visits a site – even for the first time – Open Graph partner sites will display their Facebook friends' recommendations and preferences. No login to the site or to Facebook Connect is required, and the information will flow back into a user's Facebook news stream over time.
"I can go to CNN . I can immediately see that three of my friends like this article without CNN ever knowing who I am and who my friends are. Then I can like it and it forms new connections in the Open Graph," explained Zuckerberg.
Thirty partners were announced who have incorporated the new Open Graph functionality into their sites, Zuckerberg said, including ESPN, CNN, Pandora, Sephora and Yelp.
"Our goal today to use the Open Graph so people can have instant personalized experiences wherever they go," said Zuckerberg.
The new personalized, social information is made possible through Facebook Social Plugins, which sites can install with only one line of HTML code.
Facebook also announced several changes for site developers to make Open Graph integration easier. As of today, the 24-hour time limit for sites storing Facebook data has been lifted.
"There's an old saying: When you go to heaven, all of your friends are there and it's the way you want it to be," Zuckerberg said at the end of his speech. "Let's make that world. Thanks for coming out."

Holding my nephew, I realized I'm getting older, and that's a very strange feeling. And I don't mind it 'cause now the simplest things in life make me really happy. I'm telling you, if I have a new box of breakfast cereal in the cupboard in the kitchen, I get up about 20 minutes early in the morning. I mean, I'm really excited. I march in there, rip it open, jam my hand right to the bottom of the box looking for the prize -- 'cause when you're an adult, you don't have to wait.
