Saw this on MacRumors and thought I'd share here. This is currently free, but will soon be $2.99 according to the developer. I really like what I've seen so far. Has so many customization options, color choices are great, can set the margins all the way to the edge, can double space, triple space, or really squeeze text closely together, and it has Dropbox integration.
Also has this feature where you can look stuff up on Wikipedia, Google, and then pin those links and save them for later. It can also summarize stuff, but that doesn't really work that well. Pulls out names and places and shows you their instances too.
Pretty good for a 1.0 indie app anyway.

This is the same exact brush that Gene Krupa and Buddy Rich used during their careers and is the same brush Don is using now. I worked for Slingerland as a supervisor for fourteen years so that's how I learned to make these brushes. Because Buddy used Slingerland drums for many years, my father knew him very well. I of course got to know him and developed an ear for what Buddy wanted in snare drums and I ended up being the guy who made and tuned his snare drums when needed. I saw the band enough and got to know what he wanted and always remembered the sound he would explain to me. I still remember the sound to this day and could do it again if he were still alive.

Prescott man faces drug charges after raid
A Prescott man was charged Monday in Pierce County Circuit Court with multiple drug charges after Prescott police raided his house over the weekend.
Matthew James Horning, 52, 800 Canton St., Lot 7, was charged with possession of methamphetamine, marijuana and possession of drug paraphernalia after he was arrested at his house Friday evening.
Chief of Police Mike R. Bondarenko said in a news release officers had gone to Horning's house on an unrelated matter and discovered what Bondarenko described as "an indoor marijuana growing operation."
Police executed a search warrant the following day and seized several marijuana plants, indoor growing equipment, fertilizer and plant foods, and other drug paraphernalia.
"I am very proud of the work that our officers did on this major drug case," Bondarenko said. "This is the second marijuana grow operation we have raided in the city this year. Our dedication to taking drugs off the streets of Prescott has resulted in these successful cases."

Good Christmas reads
Good Christmas reads
This is a word of greeting for The Review section of Dec. 23.
To Colin McNickle for his column "'The White Cat of Christmas': A not-quite Dickens of a carol": Nice. Maybe it's an angel. Don't tell
To Alan Wallace for his A Page of Books column "Insights from Christmas present(s)": Truth. After all the discussion about how you read a book, all a reader wants is to receive a book or two that will take the chill out of winter and, just as importantly, to gift a few books that are enjoyed and cherished by the recipients.
To Gina Barreca for her column "Five people to cross off your Christmas list": You write nicely; this is an enjoyable read. It wasn't until after I finished it that I realized that you defined what Christmas is all about with the wrong "J" word. It's not about "joy;" it's about Jesus. Sorry.
To all, thank you for your Christmas essays.

Online Petition Launched Against Public Toilet Closures
Portsmouth City Council recently announced that it would be closing down 13 of the 25 public toilets across the city. On the closure hit list is Bransbury Park, Castle Field, Clarkes Road, College Park, Eastney Point, Highland Road, Hilsea Lido, Lower Drayton Lane, Marsden Road, Milton Park, Paradise Street, South Parade Kiosk, and White Hart Road. The toilets are due for closure in April.
Now, a site has been launched featuring a petition against the closures. The site's homepage says that the shut-downs will result in "whole areas of the city being without a public convenience, which would affect the whole community and would hit the elderly and families with young children particularly hard."
It goes on to say, "the council claims private businesses will open their toilets to the public, but where is the evidence for this? It hasn't happened elsewhere where this has been tried. The city's toilets are used over 2.3m times a year and so a small charge could easily raise more than the £200,000 savings the council hopes to make."
Running and maintaining the toilets costs PCC £540,000, and according to the petition site, the introduction of a 20p charge for using the toilets would raise £460,000 — not too far shy of breaking even. Of course, the obvious downside to introducing 20p access fees would be a decline in the number of users, defeating the purpose of investing in the charged system in the first place.
The petition has already garnered over 150 digital signatures. We've added ours. If you want to add yours, click here.

Type of Document Master's Thesis Author Yuan, Xianglong Author's Email Address firstname.lastname@example.com URN etd-05012006-115234 Title Evaluation on Antioxidant Activities of the Soybean Oils and Gums Degree Master of Science (M.S.) Department Food Science Advisory Committee
Advisor Name Title Zhimin Xu Committee Chair Cristina M. Sabliov Committee Member Witoon Prinyawiwatkul Committee Member Keywords
- antioxidant activity
- tocopherol
- phytosterol
- soybean oil
Date of Defense 2006-04-05 Availability unrestricted AbstractIn this study crude soy oil was extracted from the soy flour by hexane solvent. The crude oil was refined using a refining procedure similar to the one in edible oil industries, which included degumming, neutralizing, and bleaching. As the result, the eight groups of the oils and the gums were obtained. The compositions of fatty acids and tocopherols in the eight groups of samples were analyzed using GC-FID and HPLC, respectively. The antioxidant activities of the samples were analyzed by two chemical models, cholesterol and DHA. The results showed that ă- and ä-tocopherols may not be the main antioxidants of the crude oil when studied by the two models. The analyses for the antioxidant activities indicated that gum-1 had the highest antioxidant activity among the samples. The gum-1 was fractionalized by a silica gel column and three fractions were obtained. The antioxidant activities of the fractions were analyzed by the cholesterol model. The result indicated that the ethyl acetate/hexane fraction had the highest activity among the fractions. The fraction was further analyzed and fractionalized by RE-HPLC using a two-step elution scheme. As a result, a RE-HPLC fraction containing two individual peaks was demonstrated higher antioxidant activity. A HPLC peak was identified as a phytosterol (plant cholesterol) by searching a GC-MS database. Files

Zombie Age

All Android applications categories
by: DIVMOB • 18.5K
Published: 2013-07-18, by Manu Galvez.
Zombies are taken cities one by one. The end of mankind is going to happen unless someone stop it. You embody a green beret, a veteran, who is the only survivor in a small city, thanks to its warlike experience and, above all, due to he's armed to the teeth. Zombies will approach you by waves. Your goal is to finish them all before reaching your backyard's fence. If they destroy the fence, you will be exposed to their bites, so you better keep them away.
Since new and stronger types of zombies will be showing up as you level up, you'll have to make the most of the money you collect in each level to upgrade your weaponry and equipment. Think of it as a life investment. Thus, each level is a survival "day", you will be able to unlock weapons items and even crew members as you keep surviving day after day. In addition, you will unlock achievements that entirely depends on your performance.
The game is tap-controlled. Thus, you tap to shoot at zombies, and to select special weapons such as grenades. Likewise, you can switch guns by taping the "bullets" button. Basic gun won't never run out of bullets, the others guns you can buy will.
The game is set in well-crafted cartoonish graphics, side-view, good soundtrack and sound effects. Although the gameplay can be repetitive and boring after a while, the upgrading system enhances playability and challengingness. A good title by divmob.

Nancy Lee Grahn (Alexis, General Hospital) is currently in a cancer-related storyline. Her character is suffering from late stage lung cancer and recovery doesn't look good.
Grahn spoke today with KABC entertainment Health Reporter, Denise Dador, explaining that it's her character that has the cancer, and yet, the story has a very personal meaning for her.
"My father died of emphysema at 77 and ironically was an addictions counselor. You know, there's a lot that he could have done and had he not smoked, he would have had a lot of life left," Grahn tells Dador.
Grahn's dad became a crusader against smoking. She believes that somehow she's now been enlisted to continue his work.
"I feel like he's sort of orchestrated something here for me," Grahn continued. Alexis is battling a lethal disease. "I don't wanna die, Jax, if that's what you think." Alexis comments in today's episode.
According to Dador, lung cancer kills more Americans than colon, breast and prostate cancer combined. The likelihood of non smokers getting lung cancer is very small, but it does happen. Non-smoking woman are more vulnerable than men as in the case of Dana Reeves. Second-hand smoke is most likely the culprit. As is widely known, those most at risk are those that smoke. Dr. Ariathurai, the medical director of the Glendale Memorial Hospital Comprehensive Cancer Center in Glendale, CA told Dador that "not all smokers get cancer, but almost all lung cancer patients are smokers."
Is there anything we can do to help avoid this horrible disease? First up, if you smoke -- stop. It won't be easy, but it can be done.
"You can stop," encourages Grahn. "I used to smoke. My father smoked. You can stop and to say that you can't is just not true." Also, maintaining a healthy weight and aiming for 30 minutes of exercise several times a week couldn't hurt. Grahn also cautions those that smoke to be aware of their surroundings and everyone else who may be breathing in their fumes.
When Grahn first found out about the storyline, she was naturally concerned that her days on General Hospital were numbered. Her character did not know she had the disease until she started dealing with a hacking cough. By the time people are coughing, the disease is already in the late stage.
Grahn believes that Alexis will survive, but many in real life do not. She hopes that through Alexis, this storyline will bring awareness about the disease and how to prevent it to the show's viewers.

Tribune Editorial: Congress needs a deal on Farm Bill
The House failed Thursday to pass the Farm Bill — the major legislation that defines America's agriculture and food assistance policy. The Senate had already approved the $955 billion package.
Congress has been working for four years on this Farm Bill, but still cannot get the job done. The bill failed in the House after it was amended to restrict food stamp payments and change how the federal dairy program operates.
Both political parties — Democrat and Republicans — are to blame for this latest failure on the Farm Bill. Republicans voted against it because they believe it did not cut the food stamp program enough and Democrats voted against it because they believe it cut the food stamp program too much.
The Senate's bill included a $4 billion decrease in funding for food stamps over the next decade. The House version was looking for up to $20 billion in cuts to food assistance.
The Senate's bill was a five-year spending plan with reforms, including eliminating direct payments to farmers and expanding the subsidized crop insurance program, which serves as a safety net against price volatility and bad weather.
The Senate version also links crop insurance availability to responsible stewardship of farmland, by requiring maintenance of grasslands or wetlands.
The House needs to find a workable compromise within itself and with the Senate.
Conservation measures are important for the farmers and citizens throughout Minnesota. The Senate version of the bill has stronger conservation measures and better benefits for all in the state — farmers, citizens and wildlife.
Members of Congress and the public should also remember the primary purpose of the Farm Bill — to help the agriculture industry and its farmers to produce an abundant and affordable food supply that is critical to our national and economic security.
U.S. Rep. Collin Peterson and others in Congress have worked long and hard to bring forward a bipartisan bill that had Democrat and Republican support. The bill should provide an appropriate safety net for all crops and regions in the ag industry, invest in rural America, have a safety net for the vulnerable of our communities and includes needed reforms and reduce costs.
Congress needs to find a compromise that works on the Farm Bill and not let it to turn into a big cow pie.
The Farm Bill is important to all of America.

Bunbury 2012 headliner Death Cab For Cutie - Credit: Sceptre (wikipedia)
Joining the ranks of the Alive Festival (this year headlined by Casting Crowns, Chris Tomlin, Skillet and Red) and Rock on the Range (headlined this year by Incubus, Shinedown, Marilyn Manson, and Rob Zombie) will be Cincinnati's inaugural Bunbury Festival, touted by its founder as the city's "own Lollapalooza." Don't believe it? Well, the headliners, announced today, are Death Cab for Cutie, Weezer, and Jane's Addiction with about 100 more national, regional, and local acts to be revealed in March. The festival will feature 6 stages, and will take place July 13-15th. One day tickets ($46) and event tickets ($93) have just gone on sale. Good for the state or is the Midwest oversaturated with festivals? Discuss.

Wisconsin Vietnam War Stories: Our Veterans Remember chronicles the physical and spiritual endurance of Wisconsin veterans through the horrors of the Vietnam War and its aftermath. Sharing 40 first-hand accounts of Wisconsin veterans' Vietnam War experiences, this is the companion book to the Wisconsin Public Television documentary and expands on the raw and compelling oral histories told in the film.
Told in a roughly chronological order, each chapter begins with a detailed historical introduction. The chapters focus on U.S. involvement prior to the war; Army and Marine ground combat with the Vietcong; the Tet Offensive; battles at Hamburger Hill, Khe Sanh, and Hue; medical units evacuating the wounded; firefights on besieged firebases; the POW experience; and life after Vietnam.
This collection gives veterans the voice they did not have when they returned home amidst antiwar protests. Several veterans have been members of support groups started through the Veterans Administration and other veterans groups in recent years, counseling one another through the experiences of PTSD, survivor's guilt, and the ongoing effects of war wounds and exposure to Agent Orange. From the Wisconsin Historical Society Press. Paperback, 400 pages, 8 in. x 9 in., 175 photographs, 7 maps.

Reviews for Lime Cheesecake Pie
Average Rating
"Great summertime cheesecake offering with the lime flavoring. Add more lime juice if you want--but no more than a couple of tablespoons is needed. I do add green food coloring to bump up the color--without it, it looks rather bland but you may prefer it as is. I do garnish with the lime slices for presentation effect--so pretty!"
"Extreme Vanilla overkill! Glad I tased Cream Cheese filling mixture before i put in pie crust! I added at least another 2 Tablespoons of lime juice. Vanilla and lime flavor fight. If I were to make again, I would increase the lime jiuce and leave out the vanilla. Filling somewhat soft, may consider adding some instant pudding mix to help set up filling."
"Yummy! Will definitely make this again. Did not use a carton of whipped topping though."
"I used the mini graham cracker crust. It made 11 pies. My kids loved them! I will be making this one again...just no cool whip on mine :)"
"Love it, make it all the time. It's quick to whip up and everyone compliments me on it."

Styx's Chuck Panozzo Talks About Life With AIDS
In 2001, Chuck Panozzo, founding bassist for Styx, announced that he is gay and living with full-blown AIDS. In a new interview, he discusses the challenges of living with the disease while being in a touring rock band.
"What the band has taught me psychologically is that I need to go out and be with my band as they continue their legacy in the rock n' roll world forever," he told JC Online. "How could that not help me in my recovery process? I have a band that is willing to make sure that I stay healthy."
Because of his health, Panozzo, whose twin brother John drummed in Styx until his death in 1996, has had to scale back the number of shows he plays with the band. He usually works the beginnings and ends of tours, because he cannot handle the long bus trips between gigs. Ricky Phillips, formerly of Bad English, plays on most dates. Still, Panozzo, who also recently battled prostate cancer, says modern medicine has helped a lot in his fight against the disease.
"I'm a lot better now though," he continued. "My T-cells are up and I keep up with my prescription. I can't complain…You have to have goals and faith in yourself. Whatever you have you have to deal with it, to the end, the best you can."

The premises and assumptions of monetary integration in Europe against the background of the theory of optimum currency area
The creation of the Economic and Monetary Union on the 1st January 1999 and the introduction of the common currency euro enlivened the discussion on the subject of the theory of optimum currency area and their practical applications. The opinions appeared that the countries of the euro zone do not fulfill the criteria of optimum currency area, and therefore the conducting of a uniform money policy and an irrevocably stiffening of the currency rates inside this area may considerably hinder the efficient functioning of the particular economies, especially in a situation of asymmetrical disturbances. This article presents against the background of the theories of international economic relations a historical outline of the process of economic integration in Europe. Moreover there are discussed criteria serving to evaluate the optimality of the currency area and also there are compiled the results of empirical research concerning the degree of fulfilling of these criteria by the Euroland countries. The conclusion of the article is the statement that within the euro zone there are economies to a different degree predestined to stiffen the rates of their currencies with respect to the euro and to resign from soverainty in the scope of money policy. The requirements of the optimum currency area are fulfilled to the largest degree by Germany, Austria and Belgium, to the least degree by Finland and Portugal, whereas the remaining countries of the Economic and Monetary Union are situated on intermediate position.

THE race is on for one of the county's biggest business opportunities of recent years.
With more than £5m coming its way to stretch superfast broadband further, Herefordshire Council says it is ready to work with private sector service providers to connect communities well off the "mainline".
The funding is found through Fastershire, the joint broadband expansion project the county shares with Gloucestershire.
Fastershire is, in turn, funded through the government and Herefordshire Council with BT investment.
A project contract with BT pitches approximately 90% of premises in the county switched on to superfast broadband by the end of 2016.
Now, another £5.5m has now been allocated to the county to seek a so-called "10% solution".
In this, the council recognises a need to work with alternatives to fibre and wireless is the more likely of those alternatives in Herefordshire right now.
Two new procurements to increase coverage in the Golden Valley and north west of the county go out in January next year as open to any broadband provider able to meet a 2018 completion date.
Whitestone based Allpay is already active in some of the county's broadband not spots having launched a pioneering wireless service in 2009 that linked up with the Diocese of Hereford to use church towers as transmitters.
Kingstone was the first community to benefit from the new service when equipment was installed in the church tower and a signal spread to homes in the village
Allpay Broadband service is now available in 17 communities including Wellington, Peterchurch, Allensmore, Brilley, Garway and Clehonger, serving more than 500 customers.
In 2012, Allpay was awarded the Next Generation challenge award for rural leadership and community development.
Allpay MD Tony Killeen said: "It is great news to hear that funding is being made available to assist in providing the 'final 10%' solution and we look forward to working with Herefordshire Council and other partners in making this happen."
In September 2012, the council's cabinet provided delegated approval to the director for economy, communities and corporate to award the Borders Broadband contract to BT.
This was achieved in December 2012 and the project, since rebranded as Fastershire, has been in delivery for close to a year with 4,000 premises in Herefordshire receiving a fibre service to date.

FORMER Wales international hooker Mefin Davies is relishing the challenge ahead with Worcester Warriors.
The 41-year-old, who won 38 caps for his country, has moved to Sixways as an academy transition coach after holding roles as development coach at Ospreys and head coach at Swansea.
He will work with the academy forwards to aid their development, while assisting the club's support of first-team forwards.
Davies – a 2005 Grand Slam-winner under ex-Warriors director of rugby Mike Ruddock – said: "There are already some hugely talented young players in the squad who need to be nurtured in the most productive way.
"The academy set-up at Warriors has undergone substantial changes during the last year and I am looking forward to continuing its development.
"I am also looking forward to working with first-team players ahead of what will be an exciting season, so it is a great time to be joining the club."
Warriors director of rugby Dean Ryan added: "Mefin was part of successful sides throughout his playing career and understands the environment needed to help players realise their potential.
"We have placed a significant emphasis on our academy structure as we recognise the importance it will play in helping this club move forward."
Mark Hewitt will oversee the academy set-up, which also includes assistant academy manager Chim Gale and transition coach Sam Vesty.
Elsewhere in the academy, Dan Lyne has been named as outreach co-ordinator and recruitment analyst, while Ryan Watkins will oversee the club's AASE programme.
Meanwhile, Warriors' 16-strong academy squad, which was announced last month, have returned to pre-season training.
The new-look squad includes the likes of Scotland under 20 international Jack Cosgrove, England under 18 international Andrew Boyce and Christian Scotland-Williamson, who all appeared for the first team during the last campaign.

The Watertown City Council officially approved during its May 12 meeting a previously discussed amendment to the TIF District relating to the downtown senior living center.
The amendment will allow both the city and the developer full access to increment generated by the project that otherwise would have been lost due to project delays. When the city council first passed the development agreement in December, it did so with the belief that the TIF Note needed to have a fixed start and end date.
Because the original TIF district linked the collection schedule to the assumed collection start date of 2012, but the project has not yet commenced, both the city and developer stood to lose as many as three to four years of increment.
The new amendment adds language that will base the start and end of the district on when the first increment is collected, allowing both parties to capitalize on the full length of the 25-year district. If the project commences in 2013, it will provide the developer with two additional years of its portion of increment, which is $20,000 per year. The amendment does not change the overall cost to the city, but rather, redefines when the city collects its increment.
The City Council previously discussed the amendment on March 22, but the issue had first include a public hearing before it could be passed.
In other business, the city council approved seal coating projects for this year in three areas. The projects, designed to extend the life of the city's streets, will include Tuscany Village, Kings Meadows and Newton Avenue.
The total cost of the projects this year is expected to be just under $33,000, less than half of the city's anticipated costs of $70,000. The projects were scaled back so as to have more cash on hand to address other street maintenance needs that may arise.

When Baker Hughes (BHI) rallied strongly, Transocean (RIG) lagged. While Anadarko (APC) cut a deal with BP (BP) to settle out Macondo liabilities, Transocean continued to aver its indemnity to the event and refused to talk about settlement with BP. The company preferred to go to court and fight it out, starting this February.
The signs were around, and I ignored them. Instead, I continued to believe in the fundamental thesis for Transocean, by far the largest deepwater offshore rig owner and lease operation in the world. I tended to ignore the market signals, buying shares as they lagged the benchmarks and thinking I was getting value.
Now I'm paying for it.
On Tuesday Transocean announced a 26 million share secondary offering designed to raise cash, surprising shareholders and sending the stock plummeting. This isn't what the company said it would do. But, faced with further cash outlays related to upgrading older rigs for fresh blowout preventers and the downtime required to do it, its purchase of Aker Drilling now became an anchor around its fiscal neck.
It's shoddy management.
That's particularly so because Transocean is raising money by issuing shares at their 52-week low, diluting common holders and raising the minimum for their needs. At $40.50 a share, the secondary will be snapped up by the syndicate, but will also leave one helluva headache.
OK, what now? What do you do with a stock that has fooled you? What do you do with a position that is cratering?
Your first job is to dispassionately reevaluate your thesis and decide if it is still intact. Sometimes events on the ground just turn your ideas on their head. If that happens, you have no choice but to bite the bullet. You admit you got the thesis wrong, along with the market action, and you sell.
I don't see that here.
Transocean is still a franchise business, with 45 floaters capable of working in 7500-foot waters and beneath. No other company has more than a handful of these. Day rates on these monster floaters continue to ratchet higher, and are now at more than $500,000 a day. Morgan Stanley estimates sub-sea capital expenditure through 2017 will exceed $300 billion -- that's billion with a "B." No one is better-equipped to capture a bigger share of that expenditure than Transocean.
The bottom line is that conventional oil supplies are mature and declining, and offshore supplies will necessarily continue to expand, and at continually higher prices for extraction.
The bottom line for the stock is different, however. A pressure secondary offering issued while the stock is on its lows -- one designed to also save the corporate bond rating from sinking into junk territory -- is not the best prescription for a V-shaped bottom, if you get my drift. These are shares that are not going to just turn around from here and march themselves back to $60 in the next few months. Yet, shares are just far too cheap to sell.
Here's what I'm going to do: I'm going to price some January $50 calls, looking for a dollar, but knowing that I'll have to wait for a small kick-back in the stock in order to get that. Then I'm going to wait for two announcements: one that will either cut or outright suspend the dividend, which I expect, and another analysis of the Macondo case as it begins in February. That's because, even though the indications are that Transocean will be held financially blameless for Macondo by the courts, at this point a bad verdict with a multi-billion dollar liability to BP will sink the company. What I will expect is that the announcement of the dividend slash will mark the lows the stock will see. If it doesn't, we'll have to turn tail and run.
I'm going to live with a bad position. There's a skill set in doing that -- one you will also need, if you are a trader, in order to be successful.

Reinventing Bone Marrow Transplantation
Reinventing Bone Marrow Transplantation
Bone marrow transplantation (BMT) was initially
developed as a means to deliver supralethal doses of chemotherapy and
radiation for the treatment of malignancies.[1,2] Myelosuppression is
the dose-limiting toxicity for numerous chemotherapeutic drugs and
whole-body irradiation. Many malignancies exhibit a steep
dose-response relationship to chemotherapy or radiotherapy. Marrow
transplantation enables doses to be escalated beyond those that
produce severe bone marrow toxicity, allowing doses of many
chemotherapeutic agents, particularly alkylating agents, and
whole-body irradiation to be increased three- to fivefold above
conventional maximally tolerated levels.
Until recently, marrow transplantation was considered a
supportive-care modality for restoring hematopoiesis. It has become
clear, however, that high-dose therapy does not eradicate the
malignancy in many patients, and that the therapeutic benefit of
allogeneic marrow transplantation relates largely to an associated
immune-mediated graft-vs-malignancy effect.
Extensive clinical and experimental data support the presence of a
graft-vs-malignancy effect (Table 1).
Most of the data relates to the effects of allogeneic
transplantation in leukemia, or graft-vs-leukemia (GVL) effects.
These include a reduced risk of relapse in transplant recipients with
acute and chronic graft-vs-host disease (GVHD)[3-5] and a higher
relapse risk after syngeneic marrow transplantation.[6-8]
T-celldepleted allotransplants are also associated with an
increased risk of relapse, particularly in patients with chronic
myelogenous leukemia (CML).[4] The most direct evidence of GVL is the
finding that, in many patients who relapse after allogeneic
transplantation, remission can be reinduced simply by infusing
additional donor lymphocytes.[9-11]
Malignancies differ with respect to their susceptibility to GVL
effects. In both acute myelogenous leukemia (AML) and CML, syngeneic
transplants are associated with an increased rate of relapse, as
compared with transplants from human lymphocyte antigen
(HLA)identical siblings; this indicates the involvement of
allogeneic minor histocompatibility target antigens.[4] T-lymphocytes
are critical effector cells in CML, in which T-celldepleted
transplants are associated with a fivefold increase in the risk of relapse.
Minimal residual disease can be detected (using polymerase chain
reaction [PCR]based techniques for the bcr-abl rearrangement)
in most patients with CML following high-dose chemoradiation.[12,13]
The malignant cells are eliminated in most patients who receive an
unmodified marrow graft during the first 6 months posttransplant,
presumably due to the GVL effect. With syngeneic or T-cell-depleted
marrow transplantation, GVL does not occur, and if residual leukemia
cells are demonstrated, patients generally relapse.
Approximately 70% of CML patients who relapse following
transplantation achieve a complete remission after additional donor
lymphocyte infusions.[9,14,15] Similar results have been achieved
with donor lymphocyte infusions for HLA-identical sibling or matched
unrelated donors.[16] The best results occur when relapses occur into
chronic phase and when infusions are administered early in the course
of relapse.[17] Responding patients generally become negative for
minimal residual leukemia cells by PCR analysis, and these responses
are usually durable.
Acute myelogenous leukemia is also subject to graft-vs-malignancy
effects, but these are not as dramatic as those observed in CML. The
relapse rate for AML is increased threefold with syngeneic
transplantation but is only modestly affected by T-cell
depletion.[18,19] Approximately one-third of patients with AML or
myelodysplasia respond to donor lymphocyte infusions, but these
remissions are generally transient, and disease typically recurs
within the following year.
Among the leukemias, acute lymphocytic leukemia (ALL) is affected the
least by GVL, possibly due to the pace of the disease and the limited
capacity of the leukemic lymphoblasts to stimulate an effective
immune response.[20,21] Only rare patients with ALL have benefited
from donor lymphocyte infusions.
Relatively few patients have received allogeneic transplants for
indolent lymphoid malignancies, but available data indicate that
potent graft-vs-malignancy effects against these disorders do occur.
Allogeneic transplants are associated with a much lower relapse rate
than purged autologous transplants for low-grade lymphoma[22,23] and
CLL.[24,25] Selected patients who have CLL,[26] lymphoma,[27,28] or
multiple myeloma[29-31] have also responded to donor lymphocyte
infusions or modification of immunosuppressive therapy.
Possible Mechanisms for the
Graft-vs-Malignancy Effect
The relationship between the graft-vs-malignancy effect and GVHD
suggests that the target antigens for graft-vs-malignancy may be
minor histocompatibility antigens shared by the malignant cells and
the tissues involved in GVHD (Table 2).
Following donor lymphocyte infusion, many patients achieve a GVL
response, ie, remission of their leukemia, without developing GVHD.
Although this finding is consistent with the premise that different
target antigens may be involved in each process, it could also result
from greater sensitivity of leukemic cells than visceral tissues to a
common immunologic mechanism.
Graft-vs-leukemia activity may also be due to reactivity against
polymorphic hematopoietic lineage-related antigens or
leukemia-specific targets. Minor histocompatibility antigens
restricted to hematopoietic tissues have been described.[32,33] There
is little evidence of a leukemia-specific response; donor-derived
T-cell clones from allogeneic chimeras typically react against both
host normal hematopoietic cells and leukemia cells.[34-36]
Overexpressed or abnormally expressed cellular constituents may also
serve as target antigens for GVL. Proteinase-3, a serine protease
present in myeloid primary granules, is overexpressed in CML and some
cases of AML; it may serve as a target for an antileukemic immune
response. Peptide antigens derived from proteinase-3 can stimulate
generation of autologous or allogeneic T-cell cytotoxicity against
the leukemia.[37,38]
A major question is whether graft-vs-tumor effects occur in
nonhematopoietic malignancies. Pilot studies in breast cancer have
reported antitumor responses in patients with GVHD, suggesting a
graft-vs-adenocarcinoma effect.[39,40] In order to justify the added
morbidity related to allogeneic transplantation, further studies are
required to determine whether immunodominant tissue-restricted minor
histocompatibility antigens are present in nonhematopoietic tumors
and whether a clinically meaningful graft-vs-tumor effect occurs.
Effector Cells Producing GVL and GVHD
The effector cells producing GVHD and GVL effects are incompletely
defined. Both CD4+ and CD8+ T-cells participate in the initiation of
GVHD. Natural killer (NK) cells and other populations are
subsequently recruited, and cytokines are involved as mediators of
tissue injury.[41-44]
In animals, both CD4+ and CD8+ effectors of GVL have been described.
In most models, CD8+ cells appear to the principal effectors of GVL effects.[34,45-48]
In human BMT recipients, both CD4+ and CD8+ cytotoxic antileukemic
T-cell lines or clones have been described. In patients with CML who
received transplants, several recent studies have identified CD4+
T-cell lines or clones that either inhibit the growth of leukemia
progenitors or are directly lytic.[36,46,49,50] Natural killer cells
have also been implicated as mediators of GVL effects.[48,51-54]
Results of Donor Lymphocyte Infusions
After infusion of donor lymphocytes, little change in peripheral
blood counts occurs initially. However, after a median of 4 months,
responding patients may suddenly become hypoplastic, followed by
recovery of blood counts from donor-derived hematopoietic cells and a
return to complete chimerism.[9,14,55] Antileukemic effectors
presumably proliferate in vivo following the infusion, and most
likely must reach a threshold level to eradicate the leukemia cells
and the normal, host-derived hematopoietic cells.[56]
Marrow aplasia may occur unless sufficient donor-derived normal
progenitors are present to restore hematopoiesis.[57] Consistent with
this premise, CML patients treated during advanced relapse, in which
the marrow is completely replaced with leukemic cells, develop marrow
aplasia more frequently than do patients treated during cytogenetic
or early hematologic relapse.[17]
Most patients who become aplastic recover after a second infusion of
donor hematopoietic stem cells from either marrow or mobilized
peripheral blood. A critical factor following donor lymphocyte
infusion is the kinetics of leukemia growth. Rapid regrowth of
leukemic cells may outpace the development of an effective immune
antileukemic response.

Fun in the sun!
Celebrity trainer Jillian Michaels and her partner Heidi Rhoades hit the beach with their two children – daughter Lukensia, 3, and 18-month-old son Phoenix – in Miami, Florida on Tuesday (November 12).
Joined by family and friends, the group went piggybacking through the waves and enjoyed the sand and surf.
Jillian is causing quite a stir on her hit show, The Biggest Loser.
"Before you all step on the scale, there is something important that needs to be addressed," host Alison Sweeney said on Tuesday night's episode. "Last week, Jillian broke the rules and gave caffeine supplements to each member of her team without doctor's permission."
Due to the unauthorized supplements, Jillian's team received a 4-pound penalty — that's 1 pound per team member. And "for fairness reasons," the previous week's results were deemed "invalid."
That meant Bob Harper's team got fan favorite Ruben Studdard back.
As for the scandal behind all the action, Jillian stands by her controversial decision.
"I stand by my opinion, a caffeine supplement is significantly healthier than unlimited amounts of coffee," Jillian said. "My only regret is that my team, they're the ones suffering the consequences of my professional opinion."View Slideshow »»

I actually purchased these to use on my wrists while walking. However, they don't tighten up enough to use them around my wrists. So, if you have small wrists they aren't good to wear. I could use them, but they would be sliding around on my wrists as I walked. However, I can't stand things moving around on my arms or legs. So, they didn't quite work for what I used them for. My sons use them as ankle weights though and they work fine that way....

Welcome to WebmasterWorld Guest from 184.108.40.206

For the first time I thought I would farm out the SEO. My thinking was that it has become harder to get traffic and CTR than ever before. Made the decision to
go with a pro this time rather than piddling around with it myself.
Here is the scenario. Nice site, graphically appealing, bona fide free offer,
30 day campaign, modest budget. fifty key words and two ads.
Results 15,000 unique visits, 58 CTR and 4 sign ups. not the most stellar performance!
The fellow was a "Google Adword Specialist" so I thought he would know his stuff
Looking back on it I think he was just painting by the numbers.
I suggested a few keywords and I think he dropped them in Word Tracker or the
Adword tools and went with what ever came out. He wrote the ads also.
AS far as I can tell he never adjusted them at all other than running them exact and broad match. (He ran the whole campaign.)
To sum it up I think I could of done it as well, (and have in the past)
Is this typical or did I just draw a dud? (he was recommended to me.)
What are your thoughts on my experience?...KF

Actually, this is pretty standard and as much as most can hope for using seo experts. Seo experts, aren't really experts at all, as seo is so simple to do it's laughable, with a little practice you can do far better yourself.
I enquired after an SEO service once and was horrified that they chap wanted access to my site lol, yeah right...... then they wanted Ł800, and when I enquired what they would do the reply was "oh we can deliver 4000 visitors to your site" - I get over that figure now... I declined rapidly and saved Ł800.
It's just practise and how well you know your site. It's dead easy.

She paid me $2 for every 500 words. IMAGINE! I didn't know how sucky a rate that was! That person didn't even write a SINGLE article for the orders that she took!

From the positive side, that can earn you experience and a 'portfolio', so that ain't bad at all as a beginner.

I believe SEO is the most sensitive part of building a successful website, and it is best if kept inhouse.
I'm a bit confused by this, as you titled this "SEO, my Experience". It seems you are talking about SEM or search engine marketing rather than SEO, search engine optimization.
If you are looking for the free traffic and better results in the SERPs you should consult an SEO expert. If you are looking for PPC management, which seems to be what you are referring to, you should consult a firm specializing in that area. Some companies do both, but SEO is different than SEM.
Was your CTR 58% or .58%? 58% would be a great CTR especially if you are advertising on Google. If this is the case, I would look at your site and see why you aren't getting conversions. Seems to me that it's an on-page issue.
Check the keywords your "expert" was using and see if they are all relevant to your topic. Track ROI on the keyword level and drop bids where you don't see conversions.
I would recommend keeping this in-house unless you are comfortable sharing sales data with your Google expert. It hard to manage an ad campaign if you don't know what is working and what is only costing you money. If they don't ask you for this information then they probably aren't the expert you thought they were.

Lodz (Apr. 30)
Hans Diebov, former commendant of the Lodz ghetto, was today sentenced to be hanged following his conviction by a Polish Peoples Court here on charges of having tortured and murdered thousands of Jews.
Earlier testimony established that of the 375,000 Jews who passed through the ghetto, only 877 survived. Except for some 16,000 from Vienna, Czechoslovakia, Germany and Luxembourg, they were all from Poland. It was also revealed that before the Jews were murdered, they were forced to produce some 25,000,000 yards of textiles, 33,000,000 items of clothing and 4,500,000 pairs of shoes — all for the German Amry.

She's gotten so big!
Grey's Anatomy star Ellen Pompeo and husband Chris Ivery were photographed with their daughter Stella, 3, in Los Angeles, Calif. on Sunday (March 24). Joined by family and friends, the trio enjoyed a day at the beach and were seen flying a kite and dipping into the water.
"It is challenging," Ellen recently said of juggling motherhood and her career.

"You know, I have my days where I feel really guilty that I've been here every day if I have to work a lot," she added. "But the truth is I'm in a very blessed situation, I am so lucky. First of all, I am so lucky to live in a country where a girl like me can make this kind of living, achieve her dreams and reach her goals. And I don't think anywhere else in the world can girls have the freedom that we do here to have these amazing careers and be mothers."

Turkey says rules broken on Syria flight
ISTANBUL — Turkey on Thursday said cargo aboard a Syrian aircraft that was forced down over Turkey on a flight from Moscow to Damascus violated international rules about transporting munitions aboard civilian aircraft.
The government, however, offered no specifics of what was found aboard the plane, which was intercepted by Turkish F-16 fighter jets on Wednesday and forced to land at an airfield near Ankara, Turkey's capital.
Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan offered only a vague explanation of the contents, saying that whatever was aboard the plane had come from a Russian agency that exports munitions and were bound to a similar "receiving firm in Syria."
"You can guess and understand what kind of things these are," Erdogan said. "And now these kinds of materials have been confiscated."
Russia protested the Turkish action, saying the interception of the civilian aircraft had put Russian lives in danger and complaining that Russian diplomats had been prevented from talking to the passengers during the five hours the plane was on the ground in Turkey.
The Russian government provided no details on what cargo might have been aboard the plane.
Syria also protested the seizure and demanded that Turkey return the cargo. "There were no weapons or any prohibited cargo on board," the Syrian Foreign Ministry said in a statement.
The interception of the A320 Airbus comes amid growing tensions between Syria and Turkey, which is backing insurgents battling to topple the government of Syrian President Bashar Assad. Turkish artillery has retaliated at least seven times in the past week for Syrian mortar shells that have landed on Turkey's side of the border. Most of the mortar rounds have landed harmlessly, but one that struck a house in the Turkish border town of Akcakale killed five civilians, including three children. Syria accused Turkey of providing weapons and shelter to the insurgents.
Turkey ordered its national air carriers immediately to halt all flights over Syrian airspace until further notice. One flight that was about to fly over Syrian airspace en route to Saudi Arabia was diverted to a Turkish civil airport until a new flight plan could be devised.
The incident was likely to adversely affect Turkey's relations with Russia, which has blocked several U.N. Security Council resolutions that would have placed an embargo on arms shipments to Syria.
Earlier Thursday, Russian President Vladimir Putin rescheduled a visit to Turkey that had been set to begin on Monday until early November. But Turkish government spokesman Selcuk Unal said this was done on mutual agreement in order to allow Putin to attend a ceremony opening a major joint project.
Turkish news media reported that there were 10 sealed containers on the plane that had not been on the manifest. The pro-government daily Yeni Safak in its Thursday editions said that they contained radio transmitters and missile parts. The Turkish government did not dispute the report but would not confirm it explicitly.
"The consignment was inconsistent with the regulations," Unal said. "Every country is entitled to ask that a plane using its airspace show if the consignment is correct. We want to be 100 percent confident that nothing has been passing through our airspace to Syria."

While Nazi enthusiasm for him was perceptibly cooling, following the Jewish Daily Bulletin's revelation that he has no intention of keeping any promises he may have made to the Hitlerites former Mayor John F. Hylan, candidate for the Governorship on an "I'm-against-it" ticket, was marshalling his forces Friday to fight an attempt to keep his name off the ballot in Albany next Tuesday.
The case will be heard before Supreme Court Justice Gilbert V. Schenck, who will decide whether a temporary injunction forbidding the listing of Hylan's name on the voting blank shall be made permanent.
Evidence indicating that many of the signatures on Hylan's nominating petition are either forged or fictitious will comprise the spear-head of the attack on his candidacy.

Police have released an image of a man wanted in connection with the riots in Wandsworth and Croydon in August 2011.
Detectives working on Operation Withern are still investigating offences committed in London during the widespread disorder 17 months ago and would like to identify this man so they can progress with their enquiries.
The man in the image is understood to have been in both Wandsworth and Croydon on August 8, 2011.
Detective Sergeant Darren Lovatt, working in the Operation Withern Team at Croydon, said: "We still have many hours of CCTV footage to work through and our determination to bring to book all of those who committed offences during the disorder of August 2011 remains as strong as it was back in the summer of 2011.
"We would ask the public to take a good look at this person and contact Crimestoppers, which is completely anonymous, with any information."
Since the civil disorder there have been a total of 4,818 arrests of which 3,082 have resulted in offenders being charged or summonsed to court.
A further 2,599 cases have ended up in court, and of these 1,103 have resulted in custodial sentences - a conviction rate of 86 per cent.
Anyone with information, or who recognises the person should call Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111 quoting reference 114818.

This week's real engagement is tugging on our hearts' strings and we are so excited to share it with you. Think very romantic, cute and innocent! This sophisticated and fun engagement shoot inspiration is perfect if you like nature and the city at the same time. The ever-talented Olga from ToAmaze Wedding Photography captured this couples unique love perfectly (and by love we mean love for each other AND their love for the city life as well as the outdoors.) We're on the shores of sunny California overlooking the Pacific sunset for this Orange County engagement session.
Danica and Tom, originally from Atlanta, were visiting friends in California when they decided that they should take advantage of the beautiful scenery and schedule an engagement session.
From the Photographer…
Since Danica and Tom had a true love for both the outdoors and the city, I created for them a mini Orange County tour. We really got a taste of it all. We started the shoot with sculpture garden by Isamu Noguchi, which gave us the feel of a park inside a bustling city. Then, we drove to the Hyatt Regency Huntington Beach Resort and Spa where the couple got to sip on drinks and it was documented as a "first date." What would a true California engagement session be without toes in the sand? We finished the day right on the shores of the California Coast where Danica and Tom got to tap into their playful side. Their love really shines through in these photos.
Congrats Danica and Tom, you're photos are fabulous!
Do you have a Real Wedding or Engagement Submission? We would LOVE to see it! Please see our submission guidelines here and we hope to hear from you!

I took part in a luncheon discussion on the 'post-carbon' economy. This very term, 'post-carbon', is an obviously optimistic, future-forward theme in a time when oil and coal consumption is surging. Finding consensus here towards far-reaching solutions feels like a distant hope. In fact, our looming ecological crisis mirrors our present economic crisis in disconcerting ways.
Both these crises, for instance, happen to be triggered by market failure. The absence of any accounting when it came to environmental costs, and our failure to price natural resources into the economy have brought about the climate crisis. The financial collapse represents the same case of 'disastrous optimism' – our overlooking of 'negative externalities' in financial reporting, balance sheets and risk assessment. And in both these cases, we have tried to privatise profits and socialise losses. Our economic and ecological threats also present us with problems that are both global and interlinked, and for any decision to have a meaningful impact, it will have to be shaped by consensus. The US, Europe, China, India, Brazil, Russia and others will have to reach a common agreement despite their conflicting interests and drivers for growth.
These crises present doomsday scenarios as a likely possibility – this is already obvious with the economic meltdown, as growth has collapsed and many countries are now in the throes of a deep recession. But effective action around either of these problems has presented an enormously difficult, complex challenge for governments. State heads and senior economists are painfully aware of the huge imbalances that now exist, and that disaster is all but inevitable if we fail to act.
In his speech at Davos yesterday, the Secretary General tried to strike a note of optimism by pointing to times when countries co-operated in the face of crises to avert them, citing the Green Revolution and global vaccination campaigns.
While these are hopeful examples, our financial and ecological crises are a different animal, in that effective solutions must come with massive costs and painful readjustments in consumption and income for industries and individuals – a fact that governments in the US, Europe and the developing world have been loath to admit. As a result till date, no one is talking forcefully of either carbon taxes, or more effective market correction and oversight.
Finally, both these issues have been instrumental when it comes to highlighting the imbalances that exist on the global stage for developing countries. The developed world has contributed to the bulk of the emissions that have brought about our global warming crisis.
But now that the world economy is nearly as interconnected as global weather systems, developing countries are also suffering from a financial meltdown triggered by a collapse of the banking systems in the West. And the discontent here only complicates our ability to build consensus among countries for immediate, urgent and effective action.
Tragically, it is highly plausible that in a few years hence, we will find ourselves at Davos discussing how to build 'the post-ecological crisis world'. The present economic meltdown is a testing ground for whether we can find agreement and answers in a difficult time. But it's also a lesson for us, of the consequences that can come from waiting too long to fix a broken system.

Experimental: Real-time Continuous Glucose Monitoring
Real-time Continuous Glucose Monitoring at five times for up to 6 days during pregnancy, and during delivery, in addition to standard monitoring and treatment.
Device: Real-time CGM
See previous description.
Active Comparator: Control group
Standard monitoring and treatment of diabetic patients during pregnancy.
Other: Standard care
See text.
Detailed Description:
Pregnancy outcome in women with type 1 or type 2 diabetes is still significantly poorer than in the background population. The prevalence of large fat babies (LGA) is 50% in both types of diabetes, and perinatal death and preterm delivery is 4-7 times higher than in non-diabetic women. These complications are all closely related to non-optimal glycemic control in pregnancy, and improved metabolic control is crucial in our strive for improved pregnancy outcome in these patients.
In 2007, a new generation of "real-time" Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) became available in Denmark. These sensors estimate tissue glucose values automatically and frequently with immediate display of the glucose level. In addition it is possible to set alarms for high and low glucose levels, and the patient can react immediately with changes in diet or insulin dose.
In this trial, 154 patients were randomized to either continuous glucose monitoring at five times in pregnancy in addition to standard care ot to unchanged standard care. The main aim is to evaluate if the use of CGM in pregnancy can reduce the prevalence of LGA from 50 to 30%, but other outcome measurements such as preterm delivery, neonatal disease, hypoglycemia, low grade inflammation and vascular dysfunction, quality of life and self- care are also recorded.
