[0001] This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application No. 60/253,351, filed on Nov. 28, 2000. The entire teachings of the above application is incorporated herein by reference.
[0002] At the present time, most data network devices located in the residences include some type of personal computer. Typically, these personal computers are used to connect to Internet Service Providers over dial-up connections to execute application programs such as email clients and Web browsers that utilize the global Internet to access text and graphic content. Increasingly, the demand is for multimedia content, including audio and video, to be delivered over such networks. However, the backbone architecture of purely data networks, especially those designed for use with the telephone network, were not originally designed to handle such high data rates.
[0003] The trend is towards a more ubiquitous model where the network devices in the home will be embedded systems designed for a particular function or purpose. This has already occurred to some degree. Today, for example, cable television (CATV) network set-top boxes typically have limited data communication capabilities. The main function of the data devices is to handle channel access between residential users and a head end or server on the cable TV network.
[0004] However, it is estimated that the worldwide market for Internet appliances such as digital set-top boxes and Web-connected terminals will reach $17.8 billion in 2004, and millions of such digital set-top boxes have already been deployed. Increasingly, advertisers and content providers view the cable set-top as the first platform of choice for widespread delivery of a suite of intelligent content management and distribution services.
[0005] In the future, the functionality offered by these set-top boxes or other embedded platforms, such as a game system, will be expanded. For example, they may offer Internet browsing capabilities and e-commerce serving capabilities. Moreover, it is anticipated that common-household appliances will also have network functionality, in which they will be attached to the network to automate various tasks.
[0006] The digital set top box provides certain interesting functionalities, such as the ability to collect data, such as a log of the channels watched over time, and other events. The set top box can be designed and programed to report this information to a central location. At the central location, this data can be aggregated for many hundreds of thousands of users. This information, when coupled with other information such as demographics, can then be used by advertisers and service providers to target individuals or blanket defined market segments with promotions, advertisements, and content. The digital delivery of promotions can then allow for impulse responses yielding immediate increases in revenues.
[0007] To effectively target specific network devices with promotions, a user, such as an advertiser, may want to inquire about the counted impressions of multiple network devices.
[0008] The present invention implements a system for reporting counted impressions in one or more network devices.
[0009] Specifically, the system includes a data warehouse which collects event data pertaining to viewership history on the network devices. Through a user interface, such as a web browser, a user can retrieve information about the counted impressions of the network devices which displayed specific promotions. The data may be correlated with a promotions schedule database.
[0010] The event data may pertain, for example, to channel change events, channel surfing behavior of the viewer, time events, connections to peripherals, network locations of the network devices, viewing behavior of the viewer, and subsequent event data after a promotion was displayed.
[0011] A trigger may be embedded in the promotion such that when the promotion is displayed an impression is counted. Further, the system may be configurable in terms of acceptance and rejection events of the promotions. These may be based on thresholds configured dynamically. The configuration may be performed for a selected network device. Alternatively, the configuration may be performed for a group of network devices. The configuration may be based on demographics or viewership patterns of the viewers, or on the physical capabilities of the network devices.
[0012] In another aspect of the invention, a method for reporting counted impressions in at least one network device includes collecting event data pertaining to the network device, correlating the data with a promotions schedule database, and providing a user interface for querying the data warehouse. The method enables a user to determine the counted impressions of the network device which displayed specific promotions.
[0013] The implementation of a system and method for reporting counted impressions in this manner assists network operators to cost effectively support the advanced features of the set top box, such as to provide targeted promotion and digital content distribution services. This enables network operators to generate new revenues and provide a richer interactive environment for consumers.
[0014] The foregoing and other objects, features and advantages of the invention will be apparent from the following more particular description of preferred embodiments of the invention, as illustrated in the accompanying drawings in which like reference characters refer to the same parts throughout the different views. The drawings are not necessarily to scale, emphasis instead being placed upon illustrating the principles of the invention.

[0021]FIG. 5 is a process flow diagram illustrating how impressions are counted in a system implementing embedded triggers in the promotions.
[0022] A description of preferred embodiments of the invention follows. Embodiments of the targeted promotion delivery system allow advertisers and service providers the ability to effectively utilize a multimedia network for targeting promotions at viewers through network devices. Network devices are targeted for promotion delivery based on device usage statistics collected from these devices and on demographic data. The promotion delivery system can target network devices in varying degrees of granularity from a single network device to entire market segments. Furthermore, the promotion delivery system is designed to ensure efficient use of network bandwidth when delivering promotions to prevent network congestion. The system can be implemented over a variety of multimedia networks containing large populations of network devices, such as television set top boxes, Internet phones, and other similar network appliances.
[0023]FIG. 1A is a diagram illustrating a video display system with an active promotion according to one embodiment. Promotions include promotional content that may be presented in various multimedia formats including audio, video, graphics or icons, and Internet hyperlinks. Promotions are used to advertise goods and services, promote events, or present other commercial or non-commercial information.
[0024] Referring to FIG. 1A, the video display system 1 includes network device or set top box 10 connected to a respective video display 20, such as a television. Promotions 30 typically include promotional content that may be presented in various multimedia formats including standard audio visual clips, but also computer graphics, icons, or Internet hyperlinks. Promotions are used to advertise goods and services, promote events, or present other commercial or non-commercial information. One or more promotions 30 may be simultaneously active within the video display 20 and may be displayed in different ways. For example, promotions 30 can be presented on electronic program guides, channel information bars 40 (FIG. 1B), or by overlaying video broadcast programming. Some active promotions allow user interaction such as linking to e-commerce web-sites via hyperlink connections or direct communication with the server subsystem to obtain additional software, such as device drivers, video games, or other application software.
[0025] The promotions 30 can be stored locally or in a stream in the network that is viewed as a virtual channel or a dedicated channel and located using a local moniker. The promotions 30 can be displayed as banners, hot spots, or full motion streams, such as personal video recorders. The promotions 30 could be for a video on demand (VOD) movie, commerce IPPV, an offer for a product, a pay for view event, and walled gardens. Although the promotions 30 in FIGS. 1A and 1B cover only a portion of the viewable screen area, the promotions may cover the entire screen area. Further, there may be multiple promotions 30 displayed on the video device 20, each promotion 30 being independently selectable. The multiple promotions 30 may cover a portion or the entire viewing screen area of the video device 20. Clicking on or accepting the promotion 30 by the viewer may cause the network device 10 to tune away from channel on which the promotion is displayed.
[0026]FIG. 2 is a high-level system diagram illustrating a targeted promotion delivery system for a multimedia network according to one embodiment. The system 100 includes a promotion server subsystem 200 and a promotion agent subsystem 300 embedded within each of the network devices. The promotion server subsystem 200 and the promotion agent subsystems 300 communicate with each other through a combination of application-level messaging and serialized bulk data transmissions.
[0027] A life-cycle manager server 250 periodically collects viewer usage data from the promotion agent subsystem 300 of each of the network devices to generate viewership profiles. In television networks, the data collected by the life-cycle manager server 250 may include tuner data (i.e., a history of channels watched) and responses to past promotions. This history is kept on a relatively fine time scale, such as five seconds, or any other time period set by the user. In this way, it can be determined how long a particular promotion was deployed, or even which portions of a promotion or video program were viewed.
[0028] In more detail regarding promotion delivery, the promotion server subsystem 200 includes a database 210, a scheduler or promotion manager server 220, a bulk data server 230, and a promotion manager client 240 interfacing with the life-cycle manager server 250. The bulk data server is typically located at a central location in the multimedia network at a data center, head end, or divided between the two depending on the density and population of devices. The other components, the database 210, the promotion manager server 220, and the promotion manager client 240, are located at the data center.
[0029] The life-cycle manager server 250 of the promotion server subsystem 200 generate viewership profiles for each of the network devices from the collected data using a variety of statistical models. The viewership profiles are then used to associate each multimedia content viewing device with promotion groups.
[0030] Promotion groups are collections of network devices whose individual viewership profiles match membership criterion describing a particular demographic or viewership history. For example, a promotion group may be demographically based, i.e., "married women in their 30's with more than one school age child and a household income of at least $100,0000," or based on viewership history, i.e., "tends to watch the Golf Channel on Sunday afternoon." The membership criterion for a promotion group may be specified broadly to target an entire market segment (e.g., sports enthusiasts) or narrowly to target a niche portion of a market segment (e.g., badminton sport enthusiasts). Furthermore, membership within a promotion group can change over time in response to updates to the viewership profiles. Therefore, the promotion delivery system is adaptable to changes in viewer usage or viewership patterns by making adjustments to promotion groups. Promotion groups are described in more detail in U.S. Patent Application Attorney Docket No. 2657.2012-001, filed herewith, the contents of which are herein incorporated by referenced.
[0031] Promotions are then scheduled for delivery to specific promotion groups. A promotion is scheduled for delivery to a promotion group by an advertiser or service provider entering a scheduling request for a promotion via the promotion manager client 240, or a promotion web console interfaced with an intranet and/or the Internet. The promotion manager server 220 packages the promotion for delivery and stores it in the database 210. Later, the package information is read from the database 210 and used to create customized transmission schedules that specify when and how each of the network devices that is associated with a promotion group is to receive it.
[0032] The promotion agent subsystem 300 embedded in each of the network devices includes a promotion agent 310 and a bulk data agent 320. Upon receipt of the transmission schedule messages, the promotion agent 310 processes each schedule entry and waits for the bulk data agent 320 to deliver each promotion identified in the transmission schedule. The bulk data agent 320 then handles the reception of the promotions from the scheduled data transmission as specified in the promotion download requests. In one embodiment, the bulk data agent 320 tunes into a multicast data transmission stream at a specified time and channel or network address specified in the transmission schedule.
[0033] The promotion manager server 220 extracts the promotion package from the database 210 and converts it into a transmission request that is sent to the bulk data server 230. The bulk data server 230 fetches the promotions from the database 210 that are identified in the transmission request message, and transmits them via multicast or broadcast transmission depending on transmission control data specified in the transmission request. The promotions can also be stored in the bulk data server 230 or in a cache.
[0034] Once the promotions have been successfully delivered, the promotions are activated at the network devices as specified in promotion control data of the transmission schedules. Promotion activation may be event, time, or channel driven. Promotion activation may also occur because of some series of viewer events, for example, some pattern of channel surfing by the viewer may activate a promotion.
[0035] In addition, Navic triggers or triggers may be embedded in broadcast streams such as Advanced Television Enhancement Forum (ATVEF), Vertical Blanking Interval (VBI), or in Moving Pictures Experts Group (MPEG) data streams. For example, upon the occurrence of certain events, the bulk data server 230 uses a trigger inserter 232 to insert a trigger or triggers into the broadcast stream transmitted to the set top box 10.
[0036]FIG. 3 shows the server system 100 and the set top boxes 10 interacting with a web or application server 410, which is accessed through a browser 420 by, for example, an advertiser. Each set top box may accommodate multiple viewers. The web or application server 410, via the browser 420, enables an advertiser to access viewership profiles associated with the multimedia content devices, such as the set top box 10. Generation of viewership profiles are described in more detail in U.S. Patent Application Attorney Docket No. 2657.2003-001, entitled "USING VIEWERSHIP PROFILES FOR TARGETED PROMOTION DEPLOYMENT," filed herewith, the contents of which are herein incorporated by reference.
[0037] In addition to the components described in reference to FIG. 2, the server system 100 also includes a device history database 260, a reporting tools 270, a data warehouse 280, and a data dictionary 290. The life cycle manager server 250 collects the viewership history of the set top boxes 10 and generates viewership profiles. The viewership history includes the activities of one or more viewers who watch programs tuned to by the set top boxes 10, such as the channels tuned in, the time the channels were tuned in, the time the channels were tuned off, whether a peripheral is connected to the set top box 10, the network location of the network devices, the physical capabilities of the network devices, acceptance responses to promotions, time spent on a particular viewer activity, or other viewer behavior such as scrolling through the program guide. Acceptance of a promotion may lead to another promotion, a channel change or a URL, which are also recorded in the viewership history. The viewership history may also include the geographic location of the set top box 10 as well as the demographics of the individual viewers of the set top box 10. The events recorded in the viewership history may be compressed in a bit mask and transmitted to the life cycle manager server 250. In the embodiment shown in FIG. 3, the life cycle manager server 250 collects such data and transmits it to the device history database 260.
[0038] The data from the device history database 260 is summarized and aggregated in a step 500 and then transmitted to a reporting tools database 270. The reporting tools database 270 organizes the data in a structure which facilitates publication, generation, and distribution of the data. The information from reporting tools database 270 is combined with external data 430 provided by different vendors, or commercial services. Because various vendors may report data, such as income data, differently, for example, on a percentile basis or on actual income levels, an extraction and normalization step 510 normalizes the data before it is transmitted to the data warehouse 280, which is accessible to third parties.
[0039]FIG. 4A illustrates the interaction of an advertiser with the system 100. The data dictionary 290 provides a user friendly description of the data available in the data warehouse 280 such as the promotion schedule database 282. Thus from the browser 420 the advertiser can make inquiries through the web server 410 as to the viewership profiles associated with each set top box 10. For example, the advertiser can make the inquiry "what were all the households having a particular annual income range who watched a particular ad on specified dates?"
[0040] Alternatively, as illustrated in FIG. 4B, a third party can inquire about the impressions on each set top box 10. For example, an initial inquiry can be made such as "which set top boxes were actually tuned to a particular promotion?" And then the advertiser can make the additional inquiry "who switched away from the promotion while it was being displayed, or for which promotions did the viewer stop and watch or interact with?" That is, the system 100 can provide the advertiser with information related to "channel surfing" behavior of the viewers, as well as the effectiveness of the promotions, by counting the number of actual impressions and their duration.
[0041] Additionally, the third party may inquire "what promotions were viewed?", "when where were the promotions displayed?", and "what happened when the promotions were displayed?". As to what happened, the third party may inquire "did the promotion acceptance result in a channel change, a change to a URL, a different promotion, or an acceptance tag such as Yes/NO, and how did the viewer respond to the acceptance tag?"
[0042] The system 100 is configurable in terms of acceptance and rejection events. These event may be based on thresholds configured dynamically through a central console 99 of the system 100. The system may be configured for a selected network device or a group of network devices based on the demographics of the viewers, the physical capabilities of the network devices, such as the memory of the device or the transport type of the device, and/or the viewership patterns of the viewers.
[0043] As to which promotions were viewed, the promotion schedule can be correlated with the viewership history of the set top box 10. Alternatively, as mentioned above, a trigger may be embedded in the promotion so that when the promotion is viewed the impression is counted. The use of embedded triggers in the promotion facilitates counting the impressions without correlating the promotion with the promotion schedules.
[0044] Turning attention now to FIG. 5, an embodiment of the process for inserting triggers will be described. Initially the system is in an idle state 500. After some period of time, a state 510 is entered which occurs a short time before a commercial break. In this state the bulk data server 230 causes an asset trigger to be inserted in the broadcast or video stream, for example, in a line 21 broadcast stream. The trigger may be sent in the Vertical Blanking Interval (VBI) as defined in the ATVEF specification, or in other ways. For example, the trigger may be placed in the private data segments of an MPEG stream. In any event, the asset trigger contains text character, or other data indicating general information identifying the promotion.
[0045] Next, in a state 520, the bulk data server 230 delivers the promotions to the bulk data agent 320 according to the transmission schedule messages processed by the promotion agent 310.
[0046] Next, in a state 530, if a viewer watches a particular promotion at the set top box 10, the trigger embedded in that promotion causes an impression to be counted.
[0047] Over a period of time, in a state 540, the promotion agent subsystem logs the counted impressions which identifies the various promotions viewed on the set top box.
[0048] Periodically, in a state 550, the life-cycle manager server 250 fetches the counted impressions associated with the set top box 10. At this point, the data can be used as described above (FIG. 4B) by an advertiser, for example, who may want to inquire about the impressions of each set top box 10.
[0049] While this invention has been particularly shown and described with references to preferred embodiments thereof, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes in form and details may be made therein without departing from the scope of the invention encompassed by the appended claims.

Kenneth Grange
Sir Kenneth Henry Grange, CBE, MCSD, RDI (born 17 July 1929, London)[1] is a British industrial designer.
Grange's career began as a drafting assistant with the architect Jack Howe in the 1950s. His independent career started rather accidentally with commissions for exhibition stands, but by the early 1970s he was a founding-partner in Pentagram, an interdisciplinary design consultancy.
Grange's career has spanned more than half a century, and many of his designs became – and are still – familiar items in the household or on the street.[2] These designs include the first UK parking meters for Venner, food mixers for Kenwood, razors for Wilkinson Sword, cameras for Kodak, typewriters for Imperial, clothes irons for Morphy Richards, cigarette lighters for Ronson, washing machines for Bendix, and pens for Parker.[3] He was also responsible for the aerodynamics, interior layout and exterior styling of the nose cone of British Rail's famous High Speed Train (known as the InterCity 125[4]) and also involved in the design of the innovative 1997 TX1 version of the famous London taxi-cab. He has carried out many commissions for Japanese companies.
One quality of much of Grange's design work is that it is not based on just the styling of a product. His design concepts arise from a fundamental reassessment of the purpose, function and use of the product. He has also said that his attitude to designing any product is that he wants it to be "a pleasure to use".[5] Grange was a pioneer of user-centred design, in seeking to eliminate what he sees as the "contradictions" inherent in products that fail to embody ease-of-use.[6]
Grange's designs have won ten Design Council Awards, the Duke of Edinburgh's prize for Elegant Design in 1966, and in 2001 he was awarded the Prince Philip Designers Prize[7] – an award honouring a lifetime achievement. He has won the Gold Medal of the Chartered Society of Designers, and is a member of the Royal Society of Arts' élite Faculty of 'Royal Designers for Industry'. Grange has been awarded honorary Doctorate degrees by the Royal College of Art, De Montfort University, Plymouth University and the Open University.
Since retiring from Pentagram in 1997, Grange continues to work independently. Recent work has included door handles for ize Ltd., desk and floor lamps for Anglepoise, and a chair for the elderly for Hitch Mylius [2]. The Design Museum held a major retrospective exhibition of Grange's work, July–October 2011.[8]
The RSA site has an audio recording of Kenneth Grange in a discussion of his work.[9] There is also a video interview with Kenneth Grange discussing his design of the Signature Diamond loudspeakers for Bowers & Wilkins on their website.[10]
Grange was knighted for services to design in the 2013 New Year Honours.[11][12]

Re: Why on earth?nicedrewishfela May 22, 2014 6:16 PM (in response to RicotheRed)
The 360 and PS3 Versions will be ported by another Developer so Sledgehammer can focus on Next Gen.
So this thread is null and void.
Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare For Xbox 360 Not Being Developed By Sledgehammer - Xbox One, Xbox 360 News At XboxAchieve…
Re: Why on earth?ghamorra May 23, 2014 10:06 AM (in response to nicedrewishfela)
This guy knows what he's talking about ^^^^
Ghosts was ported to the PS4 and Xbone I believe.
Re: Why on earth?biron_w May 23, 2014 2:46 AM (in response to RicotheRed)
Activision simply can't ignore the millions of copies they'll sell on last gen consoles. I think people who've got new gen consoles will benefit this time around with Sledgehammer only working on the new gen and PC versions.
Re: Why on earth?BillaBong78111 May 23, 2014 5:49 AM (in response to RicotheRed)
im on 360 atm... getting the x1 in the next week. but people can't just pull money out of their backsides and folk out £400 to get a next console just to play 1 game... i love cod to bits (best thing since sliced bread lol) but if i couldnt afford to get a next gen and call of duty didnt come out on 360/ps3 i think it would highly disappoint a huge crowd and most likely put people off from getting cod in the future.
Re: Why on earth?JGPLOSEQ May 23, 2014 6:08 AM (in response to RicotheRed)
A huge population of COD fans don't own a Next Gen Console. And Focusing on Next Gen Consoles would mean that It will reduce the compatibility of the Game with more PCs .
So nor the community wants the game to be solely for next Gen Consoles and PC nor Sledgehammer as they will lose customers.
Not everyone has money to afford a new console right now ...
Re: Why on earth?PUR4IDO May 23, 2014 8:06 AM (in response to RicotheRed)
It's called profit. They poor folks can't afford current gen consoles, so they still need to make games for the last gen. This is a current gen thing. Back then this would not happen. AAA titles would go to the latest console and if they last gen got a port it was gimped to ****. This gen you get basically the same game.
Also, each current gen console has sold over 3 million units, so there is no reason why the player level should be low. Here's an idea, maybe because the game is not good, especially on the current gen consoles. Th3 360 version of ghosts runs better than the XB1 version. I never got dashboard crashes on the 360, on the XB1 I get those constantly, especially on certain maps. IE ( TREMOR )..
The PS4 version is frame rate drop city.
CODAW should run smooth, since it's being developed for the current gen, so the numbers should be up.
Re: Why on earth?Starbuck_OS May 24, 2014 12:06 AM (in response to RicotheRed)
LOL "next gen"... so next gen it still doesn't have 1080p, which btw was developed in the early 90s.
I hate the fact that they call them "the next gen" when computers have been able to achieve far more all this time.
Re: Why on earth?biron_w May 24, 2014 1:20 AM (in response to Starbuck_OS)
I hate the fact that people still call them "next gen" when they are in fact current gen now. The PS3/360 are last gen.
Re: Why on earth?veilofmaya May 24, 2014 11:09 AM (in response to Starbuck_OS)
well its the next generation of the console lol..wow....
Re: Why on earth?AlteredVista May 24, 2014 5:26 AM (in response to RicotheRed)
The majority of gamers (including myself) still play on last gen. Get over it. They have a completely different developer working on porting last gen, so Sledgehammer ARE focusing on next gen.
Re: Why on earth?RicotheRed May 24, 2014 8:20 AM (in response to AlteredVista)
Get over what? I still play Ghosts on my 360 and have hardly played on my Xbox One. It was an honest question and I got my answer. No need to be a jerk about it. But then I guess I don't know why I would expect any different from the COD community.
I guess you are right biron_w they are the current gen now. lol
Re: Why on earth?iAmEFFeX May 25, 2014 4:00 PM (in response to RicotheRed)
From a business standpoint, I see why they have to make a last gen version. However, I hope that when they are making the game there isn't people saying, "Well, that idea would be great, but 360 and PS3 wouldn't be able to handle it." If that's the case, this game isn't truly "next gen/current gen".

continued Even companies who generally don't contribute to charitable causes have made an exception in this case. Hoffmann's Hot Dogs, whose company policy is that they don't donate to anything, gave Operation Sandy Relief 2,000 hot dogs.
In addition to handing out supplies to those in need, the Operation Sandy Relief team also hosted a cookout on Saturday to provide a little break for those who've been working so hard to clean up in the hurricane's hardest-hit area.
"The cookout was an idea that me and Mike came up with in a parking lot up on Moyers Corners the other day," Borchik said. "I said, 'You know, we should cook for them,' and he says, 'Yeah, that's a good idea.' Five minutes later, he texted me, 'We definitely need to do that.'"
The cookout, held in front of a police station and next to a FEMA station, ultimately served about 5,000 people.
"This is for whoever — it's for utility workers, it's for first responders, it's for the victims," Borchik said. "We're just going to bust out grills and start cooking. We're going to be walking up and down the street, and if people can't get out of their houses, we're going to hand-deliver it."
Borchik and his fellow volunteers are still amazed that "what started out as two guys talking," as he put it, has evolved into such a tremendous outpouring of support for a community in need.
"Every time we look at everything we got, we say, 'I can't believe this is happening,'" he said. "People just pull up. From 9 a.m. to 9 p.m., there's always someone dropping something off, every single minute. It's amazing. Cazenovia College and LeMoyne College have just stepped up and started collecting donations for us. A friend of mine just sent me a text that Fulton-Montgomery Community College is sending out our Operation Sandy link to everybody in their school to see how they can help. It's just unreal."
For more information or to see how you can help, visit Facebook.com/#!/OperationSandyRelief. While there will certainly be more trips in the near future, the dates have not yet been planned.

CINCINNATIUsing a mouse model of autism, researchers at the University of Cincinnati (UC) and Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center have successfully treated an autism spectrum disorder characterized by severe cognitive impairment.
The research team, led by Joe Clark, PhD, a professor of neurology at UC, reports its findings online July 2, 2012, in the Journal of Clinical Investigation, a publication of the American Society for Clinical Investigation.
The disorder, creatine transporter deficiency (CTD) is caused by a mutation in the creatine transporter protein that results in deficient energy metabolism in the brain. Linked to the X chromosome, CTD affects boys most severely; women are carriers and pass it on to their sons.
The brains of boys with CTD do not function normally, resulting in severe speech deficits, developmental delay, seizures and profound mental retardation. CTD is estimated to currently affect about 50,000 boys in the United States and is the second-most common cause of X-linked mental retardation after Fragile X syndrome.
Following CTD's discovery at UC in 2000, researchers at UC and Cincinnati Children's led by Clark discovered a method to treat it with cyclocreatinealso known as CincY, and pronounced cinci-whya creatine analogue originally developed as an adjunct to cancer treatment. They then treated genetically engineered mice as an animal model of the human disease.
"CincY successfully entered the brain and reversed the mental retardation-like symptoms in the mice, with benefits seen in nine weeks of treatment," says Clark, adding that no harmful effects to the mice were observed in the study. "Treated mice exhibited a profound improvement in cognitive abilities, including recognition of novel objects, spatial learning and memory."
As a repurposed drug (originally developed for another therapy), CincY has already been through part of the U.S. Food and Drug Administrat

I feel silly asking, I work in pharmacy I should know! But, LO has been on 400mg twice a day since Wednesday. Starting sunday, she started scratching herself all over. Then today, right after lunch, a rash developed and got worse through the day. Could it be from the Amoxicillin? Seems like it took a long time for that. Lunch was all food she's had before so its not that. i gave her 1/4 tea of Xyzal that the dr gave her from when she had staph (he said 1/2 tea but I'd rather give less at first) and I plan to call in the morning if its not clear but any thoughts? I mentioned the scratching to my pharmacist friend before the rash started and he said that's probably not it.
How long does it take for a reaction to amoxicillin to show up?

ok hmmmm.... many people do develop a late developing (After at least 72 hours) RASH that is itchy, especially if this is her first time on a penicillin type drug. ANy rash with this drug should be checked out- aparently it's hard to tell the diff between an allergic and non allergic rash.
All according to wiki so take it for what it's worth
~*~ Sarah~*~
I developed a reaction to penicillin (amoxicillin to be exact) after being on my rx for 6 days! I was in high school at the time and it started as small bumps on my stomach, but not itchy. The next morning I woke up and was covered in bright red bumps....it was pretty scary. Definitely get it checked out, it can't hurt! Good Luck! :)
I'd say definitely call the doctor this morning - I'm interested to hear what they say.
The only other thought I had is could it be a yeast rash? I know that antibiotics can cause yeast infections, and DD has a yeast diaper rash and the doc said that antibiotics would make it worse (she also had a cold, possibly a sinus infection). Her yeast rash has spread outside the diaper area, too.
"Courage is not the absence of fear, but rather the judgment that something else is more important than one's fear." - Ambrose Redmoon
My DD took amoxicillin for 5 days wasn't working and then went on Augmentin. After four days of that she started developing rashes that would come and go within minutes we stopped the meds immediately and called the doc for her to be seen.
Another time the doc put her on Omnicef and within two days she had a rash from her waist line up to her shoulders on her belly and back. I had to take her to the On call doc and he said to stop meds she was having an allergic reaction.
Stop the meds and call the doctor. Good Luck

I have a penicilian allergy that formed when I was around 9 or 10. I had taken it several times for other illnesses up to that point. Later I was switched to a drug that was like penicilian but those that had a mild allergy could take. I took that for probably 3 or 4 different occasions before I reacted to it. Now I don't get prescribed any type of penicilian. My reactions started about a day after I started the meds. I think for timing, everyone is different.

Game InfoJungle Speed is a lightning-fast card game for the entire family where quick reflexes and a keen eye will put you on top. Flip your cards, watch your opponents, and grab the totem at the right moment to win the game. Just when you think you've got it down, a new card can temporarily change the rules and keep you on the edge. Play starts when the first person flips their card. Moving around the table, symbols are revealed until two of the exposed cards match. Players with the matching cards must then scramble to grasp the totem in the middle of the table; the loser gets the winner's cards and anything in the pot. With paws flying, the first person to get rid of all their cards wins the game.

Yesterday Mitt Romney rallied 30,000 supporters in Pennsylvania, a state many have said will go for President Obama on Election Day.
The stands were packed, the bright lights were on and the crowd was chanting. It was a frigid Bucks County night in early November, but it wasn't a Council Rock-Pennsbury football game.
It was Mitt Romney's final drive for the White House, his two-minute drill of a stump speech and a Hail Mary pass to win a state that hasn't gone for a Republican presidential candidate in nearly a quarter-century.
And it was electric. Traffic clogged the main exit ramp off nearby Interstate 95. Some Romney fans on Twitter even dubbed the large and enthusiastic gathering "Mittstock."

Spend the day shopping with Alexa Chung and you can't help but be inspired. As you can see from our photo story, Chung was wearing a shrunken tweed blazer, a banker stripe button down, skinny skinny jeans and the best ankle boots I've probably ever seen.
So when she bid the Lucky team farewell after a squiz around APC, I couldn't help trying on a few pieces. I ended up taking home this spotty sweater—which I've worn with everything from jeans and flats to mini skirts to a red pantsuit—as well as a denim shirt dress, which looks as good over a turtleneck for winter as it will with flatforms this summer. J'aime APC. J'aime Alexa.

ABSTRACT: The permanent lesion of damaged recurrent laryngeal nerve (RLN) often manifests as an irreversible dysfunction of phonation and is the most common complication following thyroid surgery. The frequency of this complication ranges from 0.5 to 5% in different thyroid surgery centres and increases in case of both recurrent goiter and complete thyroidectomy due to thyroid cancer. The RLN lesion varies from irreversible, persistent and transient dysfunction with good prognosis of complete recovery. The time of RLN function recovery ranges from several weeks to two years (mainly 6 months). The aim of this study was to evaluate early and persistent RLN paralysis. We operated in our clinic 2323 patients between 1994 and 1997. 2137 patients were operated for the first time due to benign goiter. On the 3rd post-operative day 190 patients (8.9%) presented RLN paralysis of different grade. The follow-up examination (indirect laryngoscopy) was performed in 100 patients with early RLN paralysis in the period between 6 months and 3 years after surgery. The complete RLN recovery was diagnosed in 78%. The permanent paralysis was diagnosed in 1.9% of operated patients. In the light of law and medical aspects we suggest obligatory laryngological examination with the evaluation of vocal cords mobility before surgery and on the 3rd post-operative day in order to identify early RLN lesion. Permanent RLN paralysis may be diagnosed on the basis of multiple laryngological examination in the period between 3 and 24 months after surgery.Przegla̧d lekarski 02/2004; 61(1):13-6.

ABSTRACT: A case of malignant hemangioendothelioma, developing in a goiter of a 52-year-old woman is presented. This bleeding tumor of the thyroid gland has caused four operations within one month. Histologically, the tumor was composed of widely dilated, ramifying and intercommunicating vascular spaces lined by atypical malignant endothelial cells. Positive immunohistochemical reactions with endothelial markers including factor VIII-related protein, and CD34 and non reactivity with epithelial membrane antigen (EMA) and thyroglobulin, confirmed the endothelial origin of this tumor.Przegla̧d lekarski 02/2002; 59(2):118-20.

ABSTRACT: The paper is aimed at evaluating the frequency of incidence and the thyroiditis type in patients operated on for goiter. In the years 1989-2000, 5149 patients were operated on because of different thyroid disorders. The clinical data of 66 patients with thyroiditis, diagnosed in a post-operating histopathological examination, were subject to a retrospective analysis. There were 64 women and 2 men, aged from 22 to 70, on an average 50.1 years old. There were determined the preoperative diagnosis, the thyroid function--basing upon the levels of TSH and thyroid hormones, the type of operation effected as well as post operative complications. Then, there was also measured the weight of the resected lobes. The prevalent indication for the surgery was non-toxic goiter; instead, toxic goiter was such an indication only in a few cases. In most patients, the thyroid function revealed euthyreosis. The following complications were observed: transient hypocalcemia [two patients], transient paralysis of recurrent laryngeal nerve on one side [one], and wound suppuration [one]. The following types of thyroiditis were found in histopatological examination: Hashimoto (59 patients), Riedl (3 patients), de Quervain (2 patients) and non-specific thyroiditis (2 patients). CONCLUSIONS: 1. Thyroiditis is a rare case in patients operated on for goiter. 2. The most frequent pathological finding is Hasimoto disease.Przegla̧d lekarski 02/2002; 59(3):129-31.

Is is possible to align the icons to the right, if my menu is set to the left? How would this be done?
Is is possible to align the icons to the right, if my menu is set to the left? How would this be done?
Hi Keirele,
Thanks for using Menu Social Icons!
Menu Social Icons doesn't try to change any layout options of your theme, but there are CSS hooks to apply custom styles to each individual icon or all of them at once.
In your case, you would want to use the
social-icon class that is attached to every icon. This CSS would likely make all your icons aligned right. Beware, because of the way
float works, it will also reverse their order! ;)
li.social-icon { float: right; }
If you have a child theme, you can place that CSS in your style.css file. Otherwise, you can add custom CSS with plugins like JetPack, Simple Custom CSS, or Custom CSS Manager.
Hi Keirele,
A few more people have asked similar questions lately, so in case the code above isn't helpful in getting you or others a solution, you can also refer to this video tutorial that covers alignment, padding, color, and size: Editing CSS for Menu Social Icons.
Works great! Thanks!

ARLINGTON, VA (May 3, 2011) Cancer studies from Mercer University (Ga.) headline groundbreaking research that will be unveiled at the American Association of Pharmaceutical Scientists' (AAPS) National Biotechnology Conference (NBC). The conference takes place Monday, May 16 -Wednesday, May 18 at the Hilton San Francisco Union Square.
Developing an Oral Vaccine for Cervical Cancer
Cervical cancer is the second most common cancer among women in the world . Two preventative vaccines are currently available, but are expensive, require complex storage, and trained personnel to administer injections. A team at Mercer is seeking to change that by developing a nanoparticle based Human Papillomavirus (HPV) oral vaccine.
"The purpose of our study was to develop and test inexpensive HPV virus-like particulate vaccine formulations that can be administered orally much like a tablet or capsule," said Martin D'Souza, Ph.D., director of graduate programs and co-director of the Center for Drug Delivery and Research at Mercer. "If this technique is successful, vaccinations could be conducted in masses rather inexpensively and without the use of needles."
This research is currently in the formulation development phase and is being tested on an animal model. It is hoped that the study will help reduce the price of vaccine development for cervical cancer, helping make it more available to patients in poorer countries.
Promise Held for a Novel Combination Prostate Cancer Vaccine
Prostate cancer is the second-most common cancer among American men . The research team working on the HPV vaccine is also working on a prostate cancer vaccine that would be a combination of transdermal and oral administration.
"By using this vaccine we can assist the body's defenses to fight off the cancer," said D'Souza. "The vaccine also enables the body's immune cells to generate memory against these cancer cells, such that i

The Specials
The Specials (sometimes called The Special AKA) are an English 2 Tone ska revival band formed in 1977 in Coventry, England.
The Specials (sometimes called The Special AKA) are an English 2 Tone ska revival band formed in 1977 in Coventry, England. Their music combined a "danceable ska and rocksteady beat with punk's energy and attitude", and had a "more focused and informed political and social stance" than other ska groups. The group was formed by songwriter/keyboardist Jerry Dammers, with Terry Hall (vocals), Lynval Golding (guitar, vocals) and a rhythm section. The band wore mod-style "1960s period rude boy outfits (pork pie hats, tonic and mohair suits, and loafers)." In 1979, the song "Too Much Too Young", the lead track on their ''The Special AKA Live!'' EP, reached number one in the UK. In 1981, the unemployment-themed single "Ghost Town" single also hit number one in the UK Singles Chart. Their music is featured in film and television soundtracks. After seven consecutive UK Top 10 singles between 1979 and 1981, the band broke up. In 2008, it was announced that the band would reform and embark on a 30th anniversary tour in 2009. As of 2010, they are touring America and Europe.

[The special session of Congress which met March 9, 1933, pursuant to the call of the President to cope with the depression crisis, enacted at his request a number of broad regulatory measures. These included the Emergency Banking Relief Act, the Agricultural Adjustment Act, the Tennessee Valley Authority Act, the Securities Act of 1933, and the National Industrial Recovery Act. In these measures were included provisions for the regulation of industry, labor, agriculture, financial institutions, and the monetary system of the country. Appropriations for direct relief for the unemployed, for public works, and for the extensions of credit in a number of fields called further attention to the display of power on the part of the federal government as it girded itself for the task of promoting recovery. Broad grants of power were phrased in general terms. The press, even when fully sympathetic with the various enactments, referred to them freely as measures conferring "dictatorial" powers. Ed.]
WE AMERICANS are much given to quick generalizations. We have a weakness for headlines. In a certain fashion we realize that we are apt to be misled by them, but that does not seem to shake our faith in them. We generalize our hopes, fears, vices, virtues, plans, and ideals--give them a name, and then think more of the name than of the substance. We talk of "economic law," "inherent rights," "fundamental liberty," "equality of opportunity," and "social justice" until these concepts register more as abstractions than as realities. For this reason we are apt to be bewildered when some movement like the "New Deal" comes along and seeks to treat ideas and principles as living and vital things.
It is interesting to note that already this movement presents, in some of its aspects, a slightly distorted picture, because of the

RICHMOND, Va. (Sept. 27, 2010) Virginia Commonwealth University School of Medicine and VCU Massey Cancer Center researchers have shown that the impotence drug Viagra, in combination with doxorubicin, a powerful anti-cancer drug, enhances its anti-tumor efficacy in prostate cancer while alleviating the damage to the heart at the same time.
For more than four decades the chemotherapeutic agent doxorubicin has been used to treat a number of human cancers, including that of the prostate. Despite doxorubicin's clinical efficacy for cancer treatment, its use is associated with irreversible heart damage, often presenting several years after treatment stops. Researchers have been working over the past 15 years to find an optimal therapeutic intervention for protecting the heart against the cytotoxicity associated with doxorubicin.
In the study published online the week of Sept. 27 in the Early Edition of the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, researchers using a variety of powerful in vitro and in vivo approaches, have shown that a combination of Viagra, generically known as sildenafil, and doxorubcin significantly enhances the generation of reactive oxygen species that trigger cell death, or apoptosis, in prostate cancer cells. They also observed that the combination did not harm the normal, healthy prostate epithelial cells.
"We believe sildenafil could be an excellent candidate for incorporation into cancer treatment protocols with the potential of enhancing the anti-tumor efficacy, while protecting the heart against both short term and long term damage from doxorubicin," said principal investigator Rakesh C. Kukreja, Ph.D., scientific director of the VCU Pauley Heart Center and the Eric Lipman professor in cardiology in the VCU School of Medicine, and Anindita Das, Ph.D., assistant professor in the Department of Internal Medicine the VCU School of Medicine.
Kukreja is excited about the potential
