Bariatric Surgery for Adolescents
With rates of overweight among youth on the rise, bariatric surgery is sometimes considered as a treatment option for adolescents who are severely overweight. However, there are many concerns about the long-term effects of this type of operation on adolescents' developing bodies and minds. Adolescents often change their minds either before or after the procedure, and many weight loss surgeries are not reversible.
Experts in pediatric overweight and bariatric surgery recommend that surgical treatment only be considered when adolescents have tried for at least 6 months to lose weight and have not been successful.
Candidates should meet the following requirements:
- Severely overweight (BMI of 40 or more)
- Have reached their adult height (usually 13 or older for girls, 15 or older for boys)
- Have serious weight-related health problems such as type 2 diabetes or heart disease.
In addition, potential patients and their parents should be evaluated to see how emotionally prepared they are for the operation and the lifestyle changes they will need to make. Patients should also be referred to a team of experts in adolescent medicine and bariatric surgery who are qualified to meet their unique needs.

When God brings salvation, the whole earth is called on to praise the King. The sea and sea-creatures, the land and land-dwellers, rivers, hills, are all exhorted to glorify the Lord for the justice of His judgments. Even the wood, string, and metal taken from the earth should make a joyful noise, being fashioned into lyres and trumpets. God reveals His righteousness in front of the nations, and since all the ends of the earth see this salvation, all the ends of the earth should worship. Because of the love and faithfulness of God, His judgment brings joy to the earth.

PDL BioPharma reaches agreement in litigation with Genentech and Roche
PDL BioPharma (PDLI) has entered into an agreement with Genentech and F. Hoffmann-La Roche (RHHBY) which resolves all outstanding legal disputes between the parties, including its Nevada litigation with Genentech and Roche and its arbitration proceedings with Genentech related to the audit of royalties on sales. Under the terms of the agreement, effective retroactively to August 15, 2013, Genentech will pay a fixed royalty rate of 2.125% on worldwide sales of Avastin, Herceptin, Lucentis Xolair, Kadcyla and Perjeta. Genentech will pay these royalties on all worldwide sales of Avastin, Herceptin, Xolair, Perjeta and Kadcyla occurring on or before December 31, 2015. With respect to Lucentis, Genentech will owe no royalties on U.S. sales occurring after June 30, and will pay a royalty of 2.125% on all ex-U.S. sales occurring on or before December 28, 2014. PDL expects to recognize royalty revenue on the licensed products until Q1 2016. Additionally, the settlement terms provide for a better definition of revenues and audit inspection procedures related to the arbitration dispute filed by PDL. The settlement and the related agreement are conditional upon entry of a proposed order dismissing the underlying litigation and dismissal of the AAA arbitration filed by PDL.

On The Fly: Top stock stories for Friday
Stocks on Wall Street began the final trading day of May with slight losses. The averages began to pick up downside momentum after revised GDP numbers confirmed expectations that the economy shrank in the first quarter of the year. The Wall Street adage of "sell in May, then go away" appeared to be taking hold as the S&P broke a support level and took the other averages with it. Investors are now concerned about a June swoon, as it is historically one of the worst performing months of the year. ECONOMIC EVENTS: In the U.S., the second estimate of gross domestic product showed it shrank at a 0.7% seasonally adjusted annual rate in the first quarter. This was down from the previous estimate that output grew 0.2% from January through March, but better than the revision to a 1% decline that had been forecast by analysts. The Chicago PMI unexpectedly dropped 6.1 points to 46.2 in May, versus expectations for it to have risen to a reading of 53. The University of Michigan's consumer sentiment reading came in with a 90.7 reading for the final May print, which was up from the preliminary 88.6 reading for the month but down from April's 95.9 figure. COMPANY NEWS: Shares of Humana (HUM) jumped $36.24, or 20.31%, to $214.65 after The Wall Street Journal said the company has hired Goldman Sachs (GS) to help it explore a potential sale after receiving indications of takeover interest. Some of the Journal's sources reportedly said Aetna (AET) and Cigna (CI) are among possible bidders for Humana. Bloomberg then said Humana's sale exploration came after Cigna made a takeover approach. Leerink analyst Ana Gupte wrote in a note to investors on May 12 that consolidation in the industry remains likely, adding that a deal between Aetna and either Cigna or Humana were both "meaningfully accretive" and "imminent" possibilities. MAJOR MOVERS: Among the notable gainers was Heron Therapeutics (HRTX), which gained $7.41, or 60%, to $19.76 after the company reported positive top-line data from a Phase 3 marketing study looking at Sustol as part of a 3-drug regimen for the prevention of delayed-onset chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting following administration of highly emetogenic chemotherapy agents. Also higher was Altera (ALTR), which advanced $1.88, or 4%, to $48.85 after reports from The New York Post and Financial Times claimed the company is near a deal to be acquired by chipmaking giant Intel (INTC) for up to $54 per share. Reuters, meanwhile, revised its prior report to indicate the potential price of the deal could be close to $16B. Among the noteworthy losers was Abercrombie & Fitch (ANF), which fell $1.63, or 7.38%, to $20.47 after Janney Capital downgraded the stock to Sell from Hold and warned the company's comparative sales may continue to drop year-over-year as it changes nearly every aspect of its business. Also lower were shares of Bristol-Myers Squibb (BMY), which dropped $4.55, or 6.58%, to $64.60 after the company reported data from a Phase III study evaluating Opdivo in previously-treated patients with advanced, non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer. Biotech analyst Mark Schoenebaum reportedly said Bristol-Myers' data from its Checkmate 057 study opens the door for lung cancer competition from Merck (MRK) and Roche (RHHBY), according to TheStreet's Adam Feuerstein. INDEXES: The Dow dropped 115.44, or 0.64%, to 18,010.68, the Nasdaq lost 27.95, or 0.55%, to 5,070.03, and the S&P 500 fell 13.40, or 0.63%, to 0.63.

Seattle Genetics says data from ADC programs to be presented at ASCO
Seattle Genetics (SGEN) announced that data from multiple proprietary and collaborator antibody-drug conjugate programs will be highlighted in more than 10 sessions at the American Society of Clinical Oncology 2015 Annual Meeting being held May 29 to June 2, 2015 in Chicago, IL. Presentations will feature data from several corporate and investigator-sponsored trials with ADCETRIS, including additional analyses from the phase 3 AETHERA clinical trial and updated data in frontline diffuse large B-cell lymphoma. In addition, the company's ADC collaborators, including Genentech (RHHBY), AbbVie (ABBV), Genmab and Agensys, will report data from clinical programs using Seattle Genetics' ADC technology. Seattle Genetics will also present preclinical data from its novel SEA-CD40 immuno-oncology candidate currently being evaluated in a phase 1 clinical trial. Seattle Genetics is evaluating its ADC technology broadly through ADCETRIS, proprietary pipeline and collaborator programs. The company is leading the field in developing ADCs, a technology designed to harness the targeting ability of antibodies to deliver cell-killing agents directly to cancer cells. In addition, Seattle Genetics is building on expertise in empowered, targeted approaches for the treatment of cancer in advancing its proprietary sugar-engineered antibody technology, a novel technology designed to increase the potency of monoclonal antibodies through glycoengineering which may lead to an improved antitumor immune response.
Xenon Pharmaceuticals sees IND for phase 1 trial of XEN801 in mid-2015
Xenon Pharmaceuticals (XENE) announced that Dr. Simon Pimstone, Xenon's President and CEO, will present a business update, including progress toward milestones, at the Jefferies Global Healthcare Conference on Tuesday, June 2. Xenon's partner Teva Pharmaceutical (TEVA) is conducting a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled Phase 2b clinical trial for TV-45070 in osteoarthritis. Results from the trial are now expected late in the second quarter or early in the third quarter of 2015. Xenon's partner Genentech, a member of the Roche Group (RHHBY), is currently conducting a Phase 1 clinical trial for GDC-0276, which is expected to complete patient enrollment in the second half of 2015. Xenon expects to file an investigational new drug equivalent application to initiate a Phase 1 clinical trial of XEN801, a stearoyl Co-A desaturase or SCD1 inhibitor for treatment of acne, in mid-2015. If supported by positive data from the Phase 1 trial, Xenon plans to initiate a proof-of-concept Phase 2 clinical trial in the second half of 2015. Xenon expects to file an investigational new drug application for Xenon's Nav1.6 sodium channel inhibitor for Dravet Syndrome in 2016.

Halozyme and Ventana enter into global agreement to develop companion diagnostic
Halozyme (HALO) and Ventana Medical Systems, a member of the Roche (RHHBY), announced a global agreement to collaborate on the development of, and for Ventana to ultimately commercialize, a companion diagnostic assay for use with Halozyme's investigational new drug, PEGPH20. The Ventana assay will be used to identify high levels of hyaluronan. HA is a glycosaminoglycan that can accumulate around cancer cells. Halozyme has announced plans for rollout of a global phase 3 clinical study in 2016 targeting metastatic pancreatic cancer patients with high HA levels using its PEGPH20 in combination with ABRAXANE and gemcitabine. Under the agreement, Ventana will develop an in vitro diagnostic, under design control, using Halozyme's proprietary HA binding protein, with the intent of submitting it for regulatory approval in the United States, Europe and other countries. The financial terms of the agreement were not disclosed.

NFL Replacement Referee Debacle Sparks Player, Celebrity Outrage
Fans, players and movie stars alike are throwing the flag on the NFL's referee lockout.
The league, which barred officials from working games as they continue to fight over salary, has installed replacement referees, and it's proven disastrous. Blown calls have cost teams games, and after a disputed touchdown between the Packers and Seahawks on Monday night -- it looked like an interception by Green Bay, but was ruled a TD for Seattle -- that decided the game, Hollywood blew up on Twitter.
Celebrities: just regular old football fans like the rest of us.
Players involved in the game also were outraged, and the harshest (and funniest) of tweets are highlighted below.

Anything as a Service (XaaX) is potentially game-changing technology that could reshape IT. Amazon, Google and Salesforce.com have the most mature offerings. Other companies like IBM, AT&T, and Verizon are jumping on the 'cloud' bandwagon. Will it attract large number of customers? I think IT executives of large organizations will stay on the sidelines and will decide not to enter the cloud now, during its infancy.
The lingering questions about reliability, security and overall performance hang over cloud computing providers. Large companies do not have the risk tolerance to start using cloud computing immediately. Most CIOs and IT Executives in large organizations will wait for the technology to mature before putting even the most non-essential applications on someone else's servers. But according to a recent article some large companies that are accepting the risk are allowing isolated teams working on one-off projects to peek into the cloud and catch a glimpse of its value. The article also states that whether they're tapping the capabilities of software as a service (SaaS), platform as service (PaaS), infrastructure as a service (IaaS) or any of the countless other XaaS alternatives flooding the market, businesses find all manner of benefits from the cloud.
But the question still remains – Is it a game changing technology? As long as large companies perceive 'cloud computing' as risky, it's not going to be a game changer.
While Large Organizations are slow to adopt SaaS model, SMB (Small and Midsize Businesses) are increasingly using 'cloud' computing as the perception of risk has changed according to this article 'Warily, Small Businesses Look To Cloud Computing'. Also, most small-business owners lack the time and expertise to develop and maintain a dynamic and attractive Web presence, their risk tolerance is higher. With 'cloud' computing, SMB gets access to the Enterprise Application with minimal upfront investment. At the same time cloud computing providers get an opportunity to continuously work to perfect this unique delivery model. This symbiotic relation between SBM and Cloud computing providers will make this emerging technology more pervasive in the near future. This in turn will reduce risk and will attract the large organizations to 'cloud computing' environment.
So, in the long run, most of the companies (large, mid size or small) do not want to have the overhead cost associated with running a large IT department that is solely involved in sustaining existing enterprise application. The need to upgrade (both hardware and software) as the half life of the technology keeps lowering is going to force the companies to look at cloud computing seriously. The ability to outsource 'commoditized' IT infrastructure and contextual IT applications (like payroll, HR etc.) will enable the companies to focus on their core competency. More importantly, the IT department within the organization will be able to focus on aligning IT to the business needs. IT can focus on building applications that will create/sustain companies the core competency. So, cloud computing makes sense and slowly this delivery model will end up disrupting traditional delivery model.

The struggle of Syrian refugees in Lebanon
Can Kazakhstan become a world power?
02 Mar 2011 02:11 GMT | Africa, Egypt, Italy, Libya, Tunisia
The number of people fleeing violence and chaos in Libya has topped 140,000, with about half of them entering Tunisia.
Aid workers warned on Tuesday that the situation at the border with Tunisia has reached a crisis point, as border guards were firing into the air, trying to control crowds pressing to get through the Ras Jdir crossing.
Immigration officers were struggling to keep up with the mass exodus as people were pressed up against a concrete wall dividing the no man's land between the Libyan and Tunisian border posts. At intervals, Tunisian border guards would open a blue metal gate to let a small group through.
But some threw their bags over the wall and tried to climb over, prompting border guards first to hit them with sticks and then to fire repeatedly into the air.
Al Jazeera's James Bays, reporting from the Tunisian side of the border, described the situation as "really chaotic"
"Things are now at breaking point," he said. The crowds on the Libyan side have been growing and the situation for them has been getting much worse. We've seen people being taken from the crowd, people who collapsed, fainted, suffering from dehydration and stress."
Foreign labourers
Volunteers were throwing bottles of water and bread over the wall into the crowd and others were handing out food to people seeking shelter at the Tunisian side.
"It looks like it's going to get worse ... They are going to break down the wall in the end," Ayman Gharaibeh, anofficer with the UNHCR, the United Nations refugee agency, said.
Authorities say up to 75,000 people have crossed into Tunisia in just the past nine days, many of them foreign labourers.
Thousands of Vietnamese and Bangladeshis at the Libyan side of border with Tunisia are "in urgent need of food, water and shelter," Jemini Pandya, a spokeswoman for International Organisation for Migration, said. Nepalese, Ghanaians and Nigerians were also sleeping unprotected at the borders, she said.
The UNHCR extended its camp near the border overnight, erecting tents with a capacity to accommodate 10,000 people. The organisation was preparing to put in more tents to increase the camp's capacity to 20,000.
"Water and sanitation is a major issue, toilets are our next big headache," Hovig Etyemezian, a UNHCR official, said.
Egyptian authorities said 69,000 people have fled into Egypt from Libya in the past 10 days, most of them Egyptians who have already been taken to other towns and cities.
Italy said on Tuesday it would dispatch a humanitarian mission to Tunisia to provide food and medical aid to as many as10,000 people.
Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi's government said the situation facing Libyan refugees was "truly critical" and thataid would also help prevent a wave of African migrants leaving for Italian shores.
Berlusconi's government, which has made cracking down on illegal immigration a priority, has been alarmed by the prospect of a new wave of immigrants arriving by boat to Italy due to the unrest in North Africa.
About 6,000 Tunisians arrived last month on the Sicilian island of Lampedusa, which is closer to Africa than mainlandItaly, after protesters ousted Tunisian President Zine al-Abidine Ben Ali.

If, like me yesterday, you aren't aware of the place then I defy you to Google it and not want to go there. Even on Google Maps' satellite view it looks brilliant.
What with me being technically gifted and all, I could easily put links to it here, or include some pictures, but I think you will enjoy discovering it for yourself.

Photos of Kate Moss Out in London
Kate and Jamie Gear Up For Her Birthday

Kate Moss and Jamie Hince were hand in hand earlier today after lunch at a Japanese restaurant in London. If those pregnancy rumors are true, Kate should avoid the sushi — although after her recent smoking and drinking in Thailand, it all seems pretty unlikely. Add to that a two-day bash in Paris that she's said to be planning for her 35th birthday this weekend, and it doesn't seem like her nanny should be prepping for double the work just yet.

Broncos need stability at backup RB position: 'We're just going to lean on those guys more and more'
The Denver Broncos went into the season with many unanswered questions at running back and were pleasantly surprised by Knowshon Moreno's emergence as a number one back. However, after Moreno, there is a big dropoff in production and pass protection. Second year RB Ronnie Hillman and rookie Montee Ball have been brutal disappointments in ball security and pass protection, but coach John Fox says the team will continue to give another rookie, C.J. Anderson a look along with Hillman and Ball.

Topic: Plant Identification
Title: Identification of plant in Menard TX
Answered by: Barbara Medford
QUESTION:We recently purchased 40 acres in Menard Texas on the San Saba River. There is a plant that looks like a fern that is all over the river bottom. It looks like the foliage on a carrot and they are already 4-5 ft tall this month. What is this and what do we do to control it without damanging to much of the habitat for wildlife?
ANSWER:This sounds like a pretty interesting plant, but doesn't ring any bells with us. Go to the Plant Identification section of "Ask Mr. Smarty Plants," follow all the instructions very carefully, including the format in which the pictures are sent, and we will try to identify it for you. Since this plant is probably growing in other areas around you, we suggest you contact the Texas A&M AgriLIFE Extension Office for Menard County, and see if they can help you.

"This year we've seen enterprises turn increasingly to Dell Services to help modernize and adapt their IT environments to manage the growing challenges and opportunities presented by these disruptive forces," said Suresh Vaswani, president, Dell Services, as Dell's CEO Michael Dell used his keynote at this year's Dell World conference in Austin, Texas to unveil a technical preview of its private cloud.
Customers from small businesses to large enterprises, across geographies and industries, selected Dell Services in 2012 to help transform IT and solve business problems, Vaswani explained.
"With industrialized service offerings that make it simple for customers to receive the level of service that's right for them, Dell Services offers consulting services and end-to-end capabilities that empower IT to achieve cost savings, growth and innovation," he added.
"At Dell World this week, we're talking about the disruptive forces that our customers are facing, such as cloud, social media, mobility, data and security, More and more, our customers are recognizing the power of information technology and services in enabling their business outcomes," said Viswani.
Examples of Dell Services milestones in 2012 include:
Security: Protecting Customers from Cyber Attacks
- Dell recently reported that security revenue for fiscal year 2013 third quarter was up 16 percent year over year. Dell SecureWorks has been a significant contributor, continuing to expand its role as a leader in Information Security Services since it was acquired by Dell in 2011. It now processes more than 30 billion events every day.
- In an effort to grow its services further for its customers, Dell SecureWorks is teaming with FireEye®, a leader in advanced threat protection, to protect customers from advanced cyber attacks. The company will manage and monitor the FireEye Malware Protection System™ (MPS) family of appliances. The FireEye MPS solution gives Dell SecureWorks customers an additional layer of protection against spear phishing attacks, web attacks and other obfuscated attacks typically used in stealthy and highly-sophisticated Advanced Persistent Threat campaigns, before they can compromise their targets. Dell SecureWorks will be the inaugural Managed Security Services Provider partner of the FireEye Certified Service Provider program.
Cloud: Ongoing Commitment to OpenStack
- Dell is seeing success from its focused efforts and investments in cloud, and reported that cloud revenue for fiscal year 2013 third quarter was up 30 percent year over year.
- As an early pioneer and an active leader in the OpenStack community, Dell is increasing its commitment to OpenStack as its open source cloud platform of choice for public and private cloud. While Dell will continue to offer outstanding overall solutions for any type of cloud that customers want to run, the company believes the open and compatible nature of OpenStack allows customers to take advantage of hybrid capabilities to move workloads between private and public clouds.
- Dell will build its private and public cloud platforms on OpenStack. As a first step, today Dell is releasing a technical preview of its private cloud, Dell Cloud Dedicated, with OpenStack. Using OpenStack as Dell's primary platform offers customers the benefits of scalability, self-service access and a consumption-based usage model, while enabling a new, improved way to develop and run applications taking advantage of open source cloud. Dell Cloud Dedicated with OpenStack also provides private cloud infrastructure that can meet the security and compliance needs of large enterprises and vertical organizations. Companies interested in participating in the technical preview of Dell Cloud Dedicated with OpenStack may email [email protected] for information.
- In addition to Dell's advancements with open source clouds, Dell also offers a VMware-based Dell Cloud Dedicated Service to deliver managed private cloud Infrastructure-as-a-Service. Dell Cloud Dedicated offers all the benefits of cloud computing for customers with VMware requirements and is designed to meet the strict security and regulatory requirements of the most sensitive data, such as health care information.
- The company also has seen strong momentum in public cloud and its online ordering capability that enables customers to automatically provision Dell cloud and get up and running with preconfigured bundles in a matter of minutes. These bundles include security monitoring and around-the-clock support from Dell SecureWorks™, Quest Defender, SonicWall and Dell ProSupport™. Customers may also choose from additional options, including cloud security solutions from Trend Micro.
Application Modernization: Modernizing IT for Tomorrow's Business Needs
- Dell Services continues to enhance and refine its application modernization offerings to help customers reduce the cost of transitioning business-critical applications and data from legacy computing systems to open, standards-based platforms and agile cloud infrastructures. Since Dell acquired Clerity Solutions and Make Technologies earlier this year, Dell Services has won application modernization engagements across the globe, including assessments, re-hosting and re-architecture implementations.
- As organizations aim to better align business decisions with technology, Dell Portfolio Assessment services now offer the ability to define business capabilities and link them directly to technical assets. Dell Portfolio Assessment services help organizations better understand the application assets they have, create a direct link from the top-level business layer down to the applications' programs and source code, and create a comprehensive modernization roadmap for the future.
Global Support & Deployment: Proactive Support, Optimized Storage Solutions
- Dell is announcing new SupportAssist technology to provide proactive support for Dell PowerEdge servers, PowerVault storage arrays and PowerConnect switches. Available today to Dell ProSupport* customers, SupportAssist installs quickly to enable remote monitoring, automatic case creation and data collection, as well as proactive parts dispatch with customer consent. With SupportAssist, customers can gain insight and control of their environment, enabling them to resolve issues quickly and minimize downtime.
- Dell also has launched a new Storage Consulting Accelerators service to provide solution designs and optimization plans for storing, protecting and archiving massive amounts of data. Dell IT consultants rapidly perform an automated data collection process, business needs assessment, and gap analysis to develop an integrated custom data management solution with a sound cost benefit analysis, tailored to the needs of the clients and the customers they serve.
- Dell ProSupport,* which simplifies support with one contract, one support team and one point of accountability, is extending its global multivendor capabilities to cover Apple products in addition to HP, Cisco, NetApp, IBM, Sun, Toshiba and more on thousands of models ranging from x86 servers to laptops, desktops, UNIX®, networking and storage.

There is hardly anybody good for everything, and there is scarcely anybody who is absolutely good for nothing.
Lord Chesterfield Stanhope (1694 - 1773)
Contributed by: Zaady
Firmness of purpose is one of the most necessary sinews of character, and one of the best instruments of success. Without it genius wastes its efforts in a maze of inconsistencies.
Modesty is the only sure bait when you angle for praise.
Firmness of purpose is one of the best instruments of success.
If you can once engage people's pride, love, pity, ambition (or whatever is their prevailing passion) on your side, you need not fear what their reason can do against you.
Source: 1746
Aim at perfection in everything, though in most things it is unattainable. However, they who aim at it, and persevere, will come much nearer to it than those whose laziness and despondency make them give it up as unattainable.
There is hardly any place or any company where you may not gain knowledge, if you please; almost everybody knows some one thing, and is glad to talk about that one thing.
Those whom you can make like themselves better will, I promise you, like you very well.
Manners must adorn knowledge, and smooth its way through the world. Like a great rough diamond, it may do very well in a closet by way of curiosity, and also for its intrinsic value.
Source: July 1, 1748.
Prepare yourself for the world, as athletes used to do for their exercises; oil your mind and your manners, to give them the necessary suppleness and flexibility; strength alone will not do.
