PROLASTIN® celebrates 25 years as leading augmentation therapy for treatment of alpha(1)-antitrypsin deficiency
Feb 05, 2013, 11:32 ET
Grifols to commemorate anniversary by sponsoring events and programs to promote awareness and research
RESEARCH TRIANGLE PARK, N.C., Feb. 5, 2013 /CNW/ - Grifols, a global healthcare company based in Barcelona, Spain, is commemorating the 25th anniversary year of PROLASTIN® (alpha1-proteinase inhibitor [human]) and the 50th anniversary of the discovery of alpha1-antitrypsin deficiency (Alpha1) with a series of events and programs around the world aimed at raising awareness and advancing research into the treatment of alpha1. This rare and life-threatening disease causes genetic emphysema due to low circulating levels of the alpha1-antitrypsin protein.

PROLASTIN was launched in the U.S. in February 1988 as the first and only FDA-approved therapy for the treatment of alpha1 by augmenting patients' levels of the alpha1-antitrypsin protein. Twenty-five years later, the PROLASTIN brand of products remains the global market leader for the treatment of this debilitating lung disease, first identified by Swedish researchers Carl-Bertil Laurell and Sten Eriksson in 1963.
"For nearly 17 years, PROLASTIN was the only product available to patients with Alpha-1," said Dr. Sandy Sandhaus, Professor of Medicine and Director, Alpha1-Antitrypsin Deficiency Program at National Jewish Health in Denver, CO. "Since the beginning, the makers of PROLASTIN have been remarkable partners with the patient community in helping to improve their health, educate patients about a little-known disease, and support scientific research to find better ways to detect and treat the disease."
"The level of patient support from the manufacturer of PROLASTIN helped many people change their lives," Sandhaus added.
To commemorate the 25th anniversary of PROLASTIN and the 50th anniversary of the discovery of the disease, Grifols is sponsoring a series of events, including the Alpha-1 Foundation's International Patient Congress in Barcelona and a National Education Conference in Washington, D.C. These events will promote dialogue and collaboration among patients, scientists, and healthcare providers. The goal is to increase diagnosis and promote research into a rare disease that remains vastly under-diagnosed, with an estimated five percent of affected individuals having been properly identified.
On the research front, Grifols continues to pursue initiatives with the goal of enhancing the understanding of alpha1 and devising better treatment options for patients. Toward that end, Grifols will initiate a multicenter clinical trial this summer to study the efficacy of multiple doses of PROLASTIN®-C – a more purified and concentrated formulation of PROLASTIN approved in the U.S. in 2009 and in Canada in 2010.
The development of PROLASTIN-C is one example of Grifols' ongoing commitment to devising novel therapeutic products and services. Additional initiatives include the distribution of free Alpha-1 diagnostic kits and the comprehensive disease-management program, PROLASTIN Direct®.

About Alpha1-Antitrypsin Deficiency
Alpha1-antitrypsin deficiency, also known as AAT deficiency or Alpha-1, is an inherited disorder that causes a significant reduction in the naturally occurring protein, alpha1-proteinase inhibitor. While rare, Alpha-1 is the most common cause of genetic emphysema in adults and the most common cause of liver disease in children. Individuals suffering from Alpha-1 often develop severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) leading to disability and premature death. Alpha-1 is estimated to affect 200,000 people in North America and Europe combined, although greater than 90% of individuals remain undiagnosed.
About PROLASTIN® and PROLASTIN®-C
PROLASTIN-C and PROLASTIN are indicated for the treatment of alpha1-antitrypsin (AAT) deficiency in patients with panacinar emphysema. AAT deficiency is a genetic condition in which low levels of the alpha1 protein can result in emphysema in adults and liver disease primarily in children. The active protein in PROLASTIN-C increases or augments protein levels in AAT-deficient patients. PROLASTIN-C is approved in the U.S. and Canada, while PROLASTIN is approved or registered in select countries in Europe and South America.
Important Safety Informationabout PROLASTIN®-C
PROLASTIN-C, Alpha1-Proteinase Inhibitor (Human) is indicated for chronic augmentation and maintenance therapy in adults with emphysema due to deficiency of alpha1-proteinase inhibitor (alpha1-antitrypsin deficiency). The effect of augmentation therapy with any alpha1-proteinase inhibitor (alpha1-PI) on pulmonary exacerbations and on the progression of emphysema in alpha1-antitrypsin deficiency has not been demonstrated in randomized, controlled clinical trials. PROLASTIN-C is not indicated as therapy for lung disease in patients in whom severe Alpha1-PI deficiency has not been established.
PROLASTIN-C may contain trace amounts of IgA. Patients with known antibodies to IgA, which can be present in patients with selective or severe IgA deficiency, have a greater risk of developing potentially severe hypersensitivity and anaphylactic reactions. PROLASTIN-C is contraindicated in patients with antibodies against IgA.
The most common drug related adverse reactions during clinical trials in ≥1% of subjects were chills, malaise, headache, rash, hot flush, and pruritus. The most serious adverse reaction observed during clinical studies with PROLASTIN-C was an abdominal and extremity rash in one subject.
PROLASTIN-C is made from human plasma. Products made from human plasma may carry a risk of transmitting infectious agents, eg, viruses and, theoretically, the Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD) agent.

After she didn't show up for class Monday, college officials called the Sheraton hotel in Towson, where her family was staying on a visit from Long Island, N.Y. There, inside a locked room about 3 p.m. Monday, a hotel employee found the bodies of Stephanie Parente, her 11-year-old sister, Catherine, and their parents, William, 59, and Betty, 58.
They were not shot or stabbed, and one of the parents was likely responsible for the murder-suicide, Cpl. Michael Hill, a Baltimore County police spokesman, said Tuesday. He declined to give details or say whether there was evidence of a motive.
"With sadness, we report a whole family is dead," Hill said at a news conference Tuesday. He said more information would be released Wednesday.
The family lived in Garden City on Long Island, a small, upper-middle-class community with one of the largest shopping malls in the world. William Parente was a tax and estate lawyer with a midtown Manhattan office. Betty Parente was a homemaker and a charity fundraiser. Catherine was a sixth-grader at a Garden City middle school.
Stephanie Parente also had attended Garden City public schools. At Loyola College, she was a coxswain for the men's crew team and a player on the club field hockey team. She danced at school rallies and loved going out. She wanted to be a dentist.
"She was always full of life and happy and smiling," said Stefanie Spain, a sophomore who lived in Parente's dorm during her freshman year. "She was always making people laugh."
Dave Thompson, a sophomore who was on the crew team with Stephanie, said she had helped out with Habitat for Humanity last year and was planning to study in England in the fall.
Robert J. Krener, who owns a real estate brokerage, said he sold the Parentes their Garden City house about 12 years ago. Then the Kreners moved into the house next door about 2 1/2 years ago.
"You can't find finer people. And the daughters - oh, my God," Krener said. "I remember when they were trying to make the choices for [Stephanie] to go to college."
Krener said he didn't know the family had gone to Maryland to visit their daughter at Loyola. When police came to his house Monday and started asking questions about them, Krener became worried. He and his wife called Betty Parente's cell phone and didn't get an answer. They called the Parentes' condo in Westhampton. Nothing.
By then, concern was also growing among Stephanie Parente's friends in Maryland.
The last official record of her on campus was Sunday morning, when she swiped her ID card and had breakfast with her roommates in a dining hall. Her friends knew that her family was visiting for the weekend and that she was spending time with them.
Sunday night, college officials said, she wasn't in her room studying, though her chemistry textbook lay open on her desk.
Friends called her cell phone, but she didn't answer. Then they called her family's hotel room. Her father picked up and told them Stephanie would be staying the night with them, said the Rev. Brian Linnane, Loyola's president.
Not long after the college notified the hotel about her absence Monday, word spread about the deaths.
"It is very devastating for us," Linnane said. "Stephanie was a very gifted, bright young woman. ... This is a grievous wound and a terrible loss of someone with real promise."
The bodies were found Monday in a locked room in the Sheraton Baltimore North, near Towson Town Center mall. They were taken to the state medical examiner's office in Baltimore, where autopsies were to be conducted Tuesday, police said.
Baltimore County investigators are consulting with police in New York, but no county officers had been sent there Tuesday morning, said Hill, the police spokesman. He would not say whether a suicide note or other evidence of a motive was found in the hotel room.
The discovery of the Parentes' bodies came a little more than a year after a father was charged in the drowning deaths of three children in a bathtub at a downtown Baltimore hotel, and two days after five members of a Frederick County family were found dead in an apparent murder-suicide.
As word of the Parentes' deaths spread across the tight-knit Loyola campus Monday night, an impromptu service was held in the Catholic college's chapel for Stephanie's friends.
Tuesday, a campuswide e-mail was sent to Loyola students, faculty and staff. Even students who did not know Stephanie Parente said they were shocked and saddened.
In the prayer garden next to the chapel, a dozen of her friends gathered in the afternoon to cry, hug and lean on each other. Students said their Catholic faith and deep sense of community would help them through.
"Our faith is an important resource for us to turn to because we're really confronting the mystery of evil," Linnane, the school president, said.
More than 1,000 Loyola students came together in Alumni Memorial Chapel for the Mass on Tuesday night, lining the walls and sitting on the floor and altar. They sang "Lord of All Hopefulness" and "Amazing Grace" in a service led by Linnane.
A framed black-and-white photograph of Stephanie Parente was placed on a table.
Her roommates sat in the front row after walking up a side aisle, holding each other's hands. Two of them delivered the readings, about death and salvation.
Three other roommates also came to the altar to read the prayers of the faithful. Through tears, they offered prayers for all the young people who leave the world too early, for William and Betty Parente, for Catherine and, finally, for Stephanie.
"You brightened our lives," a roommate said, "and we'll never forget you."

While writing my FAT+SD tutorial, I realized that my projects may soon contain both 3.3 V components like an SD card, and 5.0 V components like LCD displays or a MAX232 UART chip. Considering I only knew how to use resistors as voltage dividers, I decided to learn a bit more about voltage level shifting.
Having netted already two generous donations for this blog, I decided to spend the first one on $10 of components that could do the job, and employ my trusty, although not old, Picoscope 2205 to investage how they perform!
Simple low to high conversion: Flexible logic levels
When interfacing a 3.3V device with an AVR chip running at 5V, it is possible that no shifting is needed when communicating to the AVR chip. For example, the ATtiny13 datasheet specifies input low voltage as anything less than 0.3*VCC (1.5V when VCC=5V) and high as anything more than 0.7*VCC (3.5V when VCC=5V) – the 3.3V might be just enough to be reliably interpreted as "high" in your particular part combo. However, you might still want to consider the alternatives below, just to be sure.
Simple high to low conversion: Voltage dividers
The basic trick for lowering a voltage from, say 5V to 3.3V is to use two resistors in series, connected between the MCU pin and the ground. Because the voltage drop in each is proportional to the ohm value of each resistor, it's easy to get any voltage between MCU VCC and ground from such a setup.
Basically, V0 = R1 / (R1+R2) * VCC. For example, if your MCU is providing 5V when an output pin is set high, you could have a 2k resistor (R2) and 3k resistor (R1) in series, resulting in 3V between the two resistors – that is because the 2k resistor "consumes" 2/5 of the overall voltage (5V->3V) and 3k resistor 3/5 of the voltage (3V->0V).
To see how it works in reality, I made a voltage divider from two 10k resistors, and measured both the voltage on MCU pin itself (the blue trace) and from between the two resistors (the red trace), when the MCU pin is set to alternate between low and high state 200 000 times a second (a 100 kHz square wave):
Such a setup works quite nicely for low frequencies and high impedance inputs (i.e. the circuit connected to V0 draws a lot less current than the R1 resistor). However, when the signal frequency increases, the setup starts to "round" the edges of the signal – here's the same setup near 1 MHz:
Update: The reason for this behavior is that the breadboard traces between the resistors and even oscilloscope probes have a small amount of capacitance, which generates a low-pass filter that starts to distort (or dampen) the high frequency signals. It's like there was a tiny capacitor added between the resistors. Also, no actual resistor is ideal, so even the resistors themselves have a tiny amount of capacitance. Thanks for Ross McKenzie from ValuSoft for pointing this out!
It's not hard to image such a poor square wave would cause communication problems between circuits. Lowering the resistor values to 1k fixes this problem, but still the shape of transition is a bit round (and it already draws around 1mA of current):
Also, voltage divider doesn't help if we'd like to shift voltage from 3V to 5V. It's time for some alternatives.
4050B quad buffer
The first level shifting part is the 4050 hex non-inverting buffer. The "hex" part means there's actually six separate buffers in one chip, much like there's four in the parts with "quad" in their description. The Fairchild's 4050B datasheet explicitly states in the part introduction:
These devices feature logic level conversion using only one supply voltage (VDD). The input signal high level (VIH) can exceed the VDD supply voltage when these devices are used for logic level conversions.
So basically, you can power the 4050 with 3.3V voltage, but provide 5V logic at its input, effectively transforming the simple buffer into high->low voltage shifter. The pinout is also very simple: there are six inputs (A-F) and six corresponding outputs (G-L) which replicate the logical high/low states of the inputs and the outputs (but on the circuit's voltage levels, high=VDD, low=VSS). Only additional connections are the operating voltage (VDD) and ground (VSS).
After wiring the 4050B to a breadboard, I plugged the ATtiny2313 generating a 820 kHz square wave into one of its inputs (blue trace) and measured the signal at the output (red trace). Note that both ATtiny and 4050B are run from same voltage here, so no level shifting is actually done in this instance.
The waveform looks very good with hardly any delay when compared to the original trace. We can conclude that at least around 1 MHz, the 4050B is an excellent choice for high->low voltage shifting.
4104B quad low-to-high voltage translator
This part is only one of the many buffers that can do the shifting the other way around – from low to high, for example from 3.3V to 5V. Like many similar parts, it features dual voltage supplies: VDDI for input, and VDDO for output. Also common for this type of part, the VDDI voltage should never exceed VDDO – note that this means you should always wire VDDO before VDDI!
This particular part sports dual outputs for each input – both the logical value and its complement are available. The outputs can also be switched off to a high impedance state by taking the "output enable" (EO) pin low. This time I wired the part to both 3.3V (input) and 5V (output), and fed a 300 kHz square wave to one of the inputs (click for the full size version):
Appearing here for the first time in noticeable magnitude is the property called propagation delay – the time it takes before a logic level change at input is reflected on the output level. With 4104B and my particular setup, the delay was 130 ns (nanoseconds) – my Picoscope software allows me to measure that easily (see the image). If you look at the datasheet, the typical and maximum values for different transitions at different voltages are prominently listed, and it's one of the key values for these types of components.
Why is the propagation delay important? Consider a 1 MHz square wave. One waveform spends 500 ns in high state and 500 ns in low state – if this was a clock signal from 3.3V master to 5V slave, the slave would see the rising edge 26 % later than the master (relative to the length of the clock high state). With any additional delays (e.g. in high->low voltage conversion), the communication between the devices might not work at all. Unless I was some way sure the delay in a specific case would not be a problem, I'd avoid any situation where the propagation delay is more than a few percent of the wavelength. With 130 ns, this would mean a maximum communication frequency of about 150 kHz.
HCF 40109 B quad low to high voltage level shifter
This part is very similar to the 4104B, but the datasheet highlights a few key differences: Each buffer has a separate output enable pin that must be high to activate the output. Also, this particular part can also work as high to low level shifter, as output supply voltage can be less than input supply voltage. It also means the one can connect the power supplies in either order, unlike with the 4104B. However, this feature comes at a price: the propagation delay is longer, especially in the high to low transition – it's clearly visible even when the square wave frequency is lowered to 40 kHz (at 800 kHz, the output hardly had time to get down before the next rise):
At 480 ns, the propagation delay limits the use of this circuit to low frequency signal switching. It's also shows why you might want to check the propagation delay from datasheet before purchasing a component for a particular purpose.
74HCT125 quad tri-state buffer
Two voltage shifting parts recommended in Adafruit's microSD tutorial (where I actually started this journey) were 74AHC125 and 74LVX245. Neither were available from my local electronics supply, but 74HCT125 was, and I read that the "T" in 74HCT series comes from the fact that it's compatible with TTL logic levels, i.e. a voltage of 3V would be interpreted as "high" even when the part is run from a 5V supply. So much like the previous 40109 part, it might be usable for 3.3V -> 5V shifting. It also has separate "output enable" pins for each output, switching the output between low impedance and high impedance state.
Additional note considering the 74HCT series was that unused inputs should not be left "floating", which could dramatically increase its power consumption, but instead either connected to GND or VCC. Also, some source said that it cannot source much current, so if you're lighting LEDs to see if the thing works, connect the LED and a resistor between output pin and VCC, not GND. This way the output will sink current, something it should be better at (of course, the LED will now light when output is LOW…).
So I wired the 74HCT125 to 5V supply, connected then "1A" input pin to my 3.3V "square wave generator" and measured the results. It worked perfectly, and turned out the propagation delay was hardly even visible, even at full 820 kHz speed (I actually think that my power supply, probe calibration and ATtiny2313 waveform produce more artifacts than the 125 here):
So while it's not actually designed for voltage shifting, it does 3.3V -> 5V shifting quite nicely!
Armed with a 10 MHz oscilloscope and poor mans (almost) 1 MHz square wave generator, I was able to evaluate the suitability of four different IC's for voltage shifting tasks. My testing also showed that in addition to the voltage characteristics, the propagation delay is a critical attribute to consider in any signalling applications above 100 kHz.
And considering I picked my test sample from a local electronics store, I also became quite convinced that it's not too hard to get such parts when the need arises – with the exception of perhaps the 40109, all of them easily met my rather low-speed signalling needs. So even if these particular ones are not available, look at the other 4000 and 74HCT/AHC/LXV series buffers, and you'll likely find what you're looking for.
I hope you enjoyed the post. As always, feel free to suggest any new topics in the comments!

Hillary Clinton narrowly defeated Obama in Hoosier State primary
-- It was a photo finish seen more often on the last lap on the Indianapolis 500 than in a presidential primary.
Hillary Clinton's campaign had just about run out of gas and a dual defeat on May 6, 2008, would have almost certainly increased the calls for her to pull into the pit and cede the race to Barack Obama.
But Clinton won -- by only 14,192 votes in over 1 million cast.
Now Obama returns to Indiana with hopes of snatching the state that hasn't vote for a Democratic presidential contender since supporting President Lyndon B. Johnson over Republican Barry Goldwater in 1964.
Sen. Evan Bayh, a popular Indiana Democrat and former governor, was said to be on Obama's short list for vice president.
Bayh, it was conjectured, might have helped Obama make in-roads in red Indiana and he was a supporter of Sen. Clinton in the state's primary -- a potential olive branch after a bitter contested primary.
But Obama chose instead to go with Sen. Joe Biden -- a pick that also may play well in Indiana given Biden's blue-collar Delaware roots. That move, however, may have been countered by Sen. John McCain's pick of the popular Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin.

Sometimes, early in the morning when all is very quiet, I sneak into my neighbors garden and take pictures.
I've been especially grateful for these few moments alone to enjoy God's creation and to ponder... the last couple weeks I've been restless and fidgety.
These restless, fidgety times come and go-- my mind gets contemplative, my body gets jumpy. Anxious and agitated, contemplation is heavy; the burden feels permanent. I feel at odds living in the middle of blessings, and yet searching for something lovely to fix my eyes.
I was reminded to actively, intentionally, pursue Christ's love. To remember my dependance on Him is not weakness or burden, but a gift.
I had grown weary and my time in the garden encouraged me to pursue beauty as defined by Him; to remember that Christ's work in me is made perfect through my weakness.I had to go back to remembering that above all good things, He is the most lovely.
In whose heart are the highways to Zion!
6 Passing through the valley of Baca they make it a spring;
The early rain also covers it with blessings.
7 They go from strength to strength,
Give ear, O God of Jacob!
And look upon the face of Your anointed.

OAKLAND, Calif. Herman Edwards Jersey . -- With one eye on the defence and the other on the clock, LeBron James let the time tick down before carrying the Miami Heat into the All-Star break in a way only he could. James capped one of his best games of the season in dramatic fashion, making a step-back 3-pointer with less than a second remaining to propel the Heat past the Golden State Warriors 111-110 Wednesday night and into the break on a high note. "I was going for the win the whole time," James said. With teammate Dwyane Wade scratched from the lineup with a nerve irritation in his left foot, James shouldered the load for the two-time defending NBA champions. He finished with 36 points, 13 rebounds and nine assists, saving his best moment for last. After James fellow All-Star Stephen Curry hit a bank shot to start a three-point play that put the Warriors ahead by two, Heat coach Erik Spoelstra chose not to call timeout. Instead, James got the ball in the half court and swished a 27-footer over Andre Iguodala with two-tenths of a second left. James stared into the stands, then patted his chest and high-stepped on the sideline, leaving the announced sellout crowd of 19,596 stunned and silent. "Better offence," James said, "beats better defence every time." James shot 14 of 26 from the floor, including several dazzling dunks, to help the Heat go ahead by 21 points in the third quarter. Chris Bosh added 19 points and five rebounds, and reserve Michael Beasley scored 16 points in a thrilling victory for Miami, which won without Wade for the second straight night. The Heat (37-14) head into the break 2 1/2 games behind Indiana (40-12) in the Eastern Conference. "I just told them in the locker room that if I had realized he was going to work that thing all the way down to the end of the clock, I would have ran out there and screamed timeout," Spoelstra said. "I tried to design something but once he started to wind it up I decided I better not break his rhythm and let a great player make a great play, make or miss, and thats what he did." Curry finished with 29 points and seven assists, and David Lee had 21 points and 11 rebounds for the Warriors (31-22), who rallied to take an 87-84 lead early in the fourth quarter before the teams traded baskets late. Golden State, which beat the Heat in Miami earlier this season, had no answer for the four-time NBA MVP this time. "That was like the ultimate buzz kill," Curry told teammates in the Warriors locker room. He could later be heard shouting "Wow!" from the showers. The biggest stars for both teams providing a fantastic finish. Iguodala lost the ball before gathering himself for a desperation, 18-foot fadeway with the shot clock about to expire, giving the Warriors a 105-104 lead. James answered with a 3-pointer over Klay Thompson, then Curry came back with a short jumper to tie the score again, and James followed by splitting a pair of free throws. As Lee came over to set a screen to his left, Curry drove to his right and banked a short jumper off the glass while getting fouled by Mario Chalmers to start a three-point play with 14.6 seconds to play, lifting the Warriors ahead 110-108 -- and seemingly for good. James quickly changed that. He dribbled just in front of Warriors co-owner Joe Lacob sitting courtside and hit the contested 3-pointer over Iguodala, breaking into celebration to put the exclamation point on Miamis win. The Warriors didnt have enough time to get a shot off on the final possession. The shot capped a breathtaking performance by James when the Heat needed it most. Wade also sat out Miamis win Tuesday night at Phoenix with a migraine headache. He was listed at his usual shooting guard spot and announced during pregame introductions, but seconds before tipoff the Heat said he would not play. Wade said hes not sure if hell be able to play in Sundays All-Star game in New Orleans. The Warriors, who were coming off a 123-80 rout of Philadelphia on Monday, were without centres Andrew Bogut (bruised left shoulder) and Jermaine ONeal (sore right wrist). Any time Golden State started to take control, though, there was no lineup that could stop James. "We witnessed greatness," Warriors coach Mark Jackson said. "A special player, an all-time great, made a big-time shot." NOTES: Some sort of glass object fell on the floor near the Heats basket in the third quarter.

NHTSA Releases Study on Vehicle Weight, Safety
Weight reductions in passenger cars, lighter vans, pickup trucks, and sport utility vehicles (SUVs) increased the risk of fatal crash involvement, a study by the U.S. Department of Transportation's National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has concluded. The study of 1991-99 models also found that large four-door passenger cars and minivans had the lowest fatality rates of all vehicle types.
The study, done on the recommendation of the National Academy of Sciences, found that:
- Modest (100-pound) weight reductions in heavier (3,850 to 5,000 lbs.) light trucks and vans (LTVs) had little net effect on crash fatalities.
- Modest weight reductions in the heaviest LTVs (greater than 5,000 lbs.) were associated with a reduction in fatalities in other vehicles.
- One hundred-pound weight reductions in lighter LTVs and most passenger cars significantly increased fatality risk.
- Large 4-door passenger cars had the lowest fatal crash rates followed closely by minivans. The highest fatal crash rate was observed in small 4-door cars, mid-sized SUVs and compact pickup trucks.
Two factors accounted for the difference in fatal crash rates between large passenger cars (average weight 3,596 lbs.) and mid-sized SUVs (average weight 4,022 lbs.). Mid-sized SUVs were nine times as likely to involve a rollover fatality and twice as likely to cause a fatality in occupants of other vehicles. In non-rollover crashes, the fatality rate for the occupants of SUVs and passenger cars of similar weight was essentially equal.
The study examined fatality data from 1995-2000 involving 1991-1999 model vehicles. Researchers adjusted the data to account for differences in driver age and gender, rural versus urban driving and other variables such as nighttime driving.
The full study is available on the NHTSA web site at: http://www.nhtsa.dot.gov/cars/rules/regrev/evaluate/pdf/809662.pdf.

Climate change may spell demise of key salt marsh constituent
Global warming may exact a toll on salt marshes in New England, but new research shows that one key constituent of marshes may be especially endangered.
Pannes are waterlogged, low-oxygen zones of salt marshes. Despite the stresses associated with global warming, pannes are "plant diversity hotspots," according to Keryn Gedan, a graduate student and salt marsh expert at Brown University. At least a dozen species of plants known as forbs inhabit these natural depressions, Gedan said. The species include the purple flower-tipped plants Limonium nashii (sea lavender), the edible plant Salicornia europaea (pickleweed) and Triglochin maritima, a popular food for Brent and Canada geese as well as ducks and other migratory waterfowl.
Gedan and her adviser, Mark Bertness, chair of the Ecology and Evolutionary Biology Department at Brown, decided to find out how global warming may affect pannes. In a series of experiments published in Ecology Letters, the pair subjected plots of forb pannes to air as much as 3.3 degrees Celsius (about 6 degrees Fahrenheit) warmer than the surrounding area.
They found that the plants in the test plots responded initially by growing more but then began a rapid die-off. As they died, they were replaced by a salt marsh grass, Spartina patens. At two sites — Nag Creek (Prudence Island, Rhode Island), and Little River (Maine) — the forbs covered less than 10 percent of the plot, from 50 percent originally, in tests that spanned the summer from 2004 to 2006. At the third site, Drakes Island (Maine), the forb pannes cover decreased from 50 percent of the plot to 44 percent (a 12-percent decline) in just the summer of 2007.
The researchers believe the forbs disappeared due to changes in the plant-water balance in the zone. What that means, Gedan explained, is the warmer air causes the forbs to take in more water, thus making the area less waterlogged and more hospitable to an invasion by Spartina patens, which prefers less water-soaked conditions.
"The forbs basically engineer themselves out of their habitat by making it more favorable for their competitor," said Gedan, the paper's lead author.
In New England, pannes range from Connecticut, where they make up less than 10 percent of a salt marsh's area, to Maine, where they can comprise some 40 percent of the salt marsh ecosystem, according to Gedan.
The Brown experiments "demonstrate that New England salt marsh pannes are extremely sensitive to temperature increases and will be driven to local and regional extinction with the temperature increases expected to occur in New England over the next century," Bertness said.
The scientists are unsure how other variables associated with climate change, such as sea-level rise, may affect pannes. Gedan said higher sea levels would help pannes, because forbs fare well in areas inundated by water. On the other hand, she added, the higher concentrations of carbon dioxide also expected to occur would accelerate forbs' use of water, which may open them up to competition from other plant species.
"How all these things interact, we don't really know," Gedan said. "But we know that with [higher] temperatures, these changes happen rapidly."

Component list - SPORT XXL
Important notes on Spikes-Spider spares and resizing: Hold the chain so that the green tracks are on the ground, as if you were holding it against a tyre. The bottom left traction arm is known as "left", the bottom right is known as "right", the top left and top right traction arms are known as "middle". There are 4 "quarters" made up of chain and tracks - top, bottom (green track), left, right. It is essential that if you resize 1 quarter you make identical changes to the other 3 quarters. You adjust your chains by moving the chain links between the inner and the outer holes on the black and green tracks.
See Gallery of images at the top of this page. The standard quarter components are shown in the bottom left image, the green track pictures in the bottom right image.
The Spikes-Spider SPORT XXL contains the following components, all of which may be ordered at the bottom of this page. If you need more than 1 of any item then you will need to change the quantity in the Shopping Basket.
All the parts which you attach to the wheel, e.g. fix-clips, bolts, spacers, are on a different page - see Spikes-Spider hub adapter spares.
If you already know exactly what you need, have a number of chains to resize, and want to view the complete SPORT spares list, then click here.
Delivery charges and arrangements:
Free delivery offer for snow chains! As part of our Snow chains offer this season we have added a free delivery option for all orders including snow chains, except for orders which also include a roof box. It covers all UK addresses except for any delivery address that includes a sea crossing.
See below for our normal delivery arrangements:
We charge a contribution towards delivery costs, depending on what you order, where you live, and how quickly you want the goods.
For most UK addresses, the charge for our two to three day service is £5.50 (£9.50 for orders including a roof box) and our charge for Next Working Day deliveries is £8.50 (£12.50 for orders involving a roof box). AutoSock, shoe chains, RUD i-Sock, and small spare parts, are charged £3.95 (Royal Mail Tracked), £4.95 (Royal Mail Express Tracked) or £5.95 (express courier, usually Next Working Day).
There are different charges for any delivery including a sea crossing, and deliveries to Skye - we will contact you with a quote on receipt of order.
Orders for Next Working Day delivery need to be received by 4.00pm.
There are no deliveries on Saturdays, Sundays or Bank Holidays, except for postable items where Royal Mail has a Saturday delivery. Next Working Day orders placed on a Friday will be delivered on the Monday, Next Working Day orders placed on a Saturday will be delivered on the Tuesday.
We are very flexible with our deliveries and will aim to deliver on a day and at an address which suits you. Goods can usually be left without signature - we prefer this with roof boxes. There's a "Special Delivery Instructions" box in the checkout area where we'll ask you to choose a typical instruction and then amend it to suit your particular requirements.
No retailer or courier company can ever "guarantee" a Next Working Day delivery. All courier companies occasionally have the same transport problems as can happen to everyone else, including snow blocked roads, closed roads, traffic jams, mechanical breakdown, an inability to find the delivery address, or to gain access to it if, for example, it's in a block of flats. We work with some of the best couriers in the business, and overall they provide an outstanding service.
Payment options:
We take the following cards, and also PayPal. Please note that the entry on your card statement will be from "The Roof Box Company".
Secure payments
Our website is secured by Sectigo (formerly Comodo CA), the largest commercial Certificate Authority in the world.
There are three parts to our snow chains offer this year:
(1) Clearance prices on many top branded snow chains, including RUD and Thule - an amazing opportunity for those who are quick off the mark! Thule (who are the biggest brand in the car racks market) have sold their snow chains division; the same chains are now being sold under the König brand. Thule branded chains have the same specifications as the König branded versions - all that has changed is the name on the chain and the name on the box.
(2) A free UK mainland delivery option for any snow chain order except any orders including a roof box or a sea crossing.
(3) Multibuy discounts - significant discounts if you buy two pairs of snow chains at the same time, or one pair of chains and one pair of AutoSock: If you do either of these things, we will discount the snow chains as follows:
As usual, you change the quantities in the Shopping Basket.
Snow chain recommendations
We are snow chain specialists, so we stock a large number of brands, and many different types of chain. Regular chain users usually know what they're looking for, and we hope they find it on this site, but many customers ask for further guidance about what they should buy. So here goes:
(1) Please use the filters on the previous page to narrow your choice, and also check out the Basic snow chain information links at the top of the previous page. Note that this year we are aiming to clear our overstocks, offering premium brand chains, including Thule and RUD, at massive discounts, with some at less than cost price. Theres a Clearance filter its worth a look!
(2) The big differences between the European branded chains and most of the Chinese chains are (a) steel quality and (b) attention to manufacturing details. There is a market for cheaper chains than the ones we offer, but its not a market we want to be in, especially as the price differences between questionable and good are often only about £20.
(3) These are our recommendations for different types of snow chain, based on many years experience of testing and using chains:
Chains for cars / small vans
Chains for SUVs / heavy 4x4s / medium and large vans

Here is a new leaderboard showing the top 120 users on Kinja, by uniques, on a rolling 30-day count. You'll notice that it's not just Gawker Media employees, but anyone on Kinja, including our partners like Playboy and Roadtrippers. And that there are directional arrows that show how you're trending relative to other Kinja posts over the last 30 days.
Right now it's just for reference, but I'm thinking about adding a little bounty to the mix for the "greatest leap forward" in a month. We'd obviously have to pick a date like the first or last of the month to have a hard 30, not a rolling 30, but I think it could be a nice monetary reward for those who really surge forward in a month. Maybe we'll even open it up to any user on Kinja, not just employees and contractors.
The "greatest leap backwards" winner will receive an old fish, to sustain them.
We will also be welcoming a researcher next week who is working on her PhD thesis on the subject of "How metrics affect journalism." I hope you'll have plenty to talk to her about as I am very curious about what she'll discover.
I think I'm starting to have a fever, so I'm going to keep this week's wrap-up short. Still, here are the stories that caught my eye.
My favorite: A perfect story about the King in Yellow and True Detective, which ignited a momentary cottage industry on the net for stories about the occult literary references in the show and sold thousands of copies of a book from 1895.
Jalopnik brings in the first Recruit—a Kinja contributor. Comprehensive story from Gizmodo about stringers shots at the Olympics. Terry Crews takes his manly ire about minivans directly to Jalopnik. Kotaku continues to experiment with user collaborations in Kinja. In Hungarian: Albert Gazda (ethnically Hungarian, but from Ukraine) started as Cink's new editor-in-chief on Monday and wrote the definitive piece on who's who in the Ukraine riots.

BRENTWOOD — A State Police bomb squad was called to the superior court in Brentwood Tuesday morning after a 911 caller reported a bomb was set to explode inside.
BRENTWOOD — A State Police bomb squad was called to the superior court in Brentwood Tuesday morning after a 911 caller reported a bomb was set to explode inside.
Scores of people were forced to evacuate the courthouse shortly after 8:54 a.m., when an unknown person called emergency dispatchers and made the threat.
The caller reported a bomb had been placed near an area of the courthouse used by the Rockingham County Sheriff's office, according to Major Al Brackett, a spokesman for the department. It was said to be rigged to detonate between 9 a.m. and 1 p.m., Brackett said.
An estimated 150 to 200 people were forced to evacuate, including jurors, bringing the court proceedings to a halt.
During a sweep of the building, members of the sheriff's department located a suspicious object under a container, prompting a call to the State Police bomb squad for assistance. Three bomb-sniffing dogs were also brought to the scene.
"We determined that the object under containment was not an explosive," Brackett said.
The dogs also searched the entire building and came up with negative results for explosive material. The building was cleared and people were allowed back in around 11:45 a.m., Brackett said.
After serving close to 10 years with the sheriff's office, Brackett said he can't recall the last time a bomb threat was called into the county's superior court. The person responsible faces a potential felony criminal threatening charge.
"I can only tell you that at this point, it's a very active investigation, and we're pursuing some serious leads," Brackett said Tuesday afternoon.

For this project, I modified the idea out of Craft: magazine and so I've include the article from that magazine as a downloadable pdf to print out and guide you on this project. I made a few changes. I used regular LEDs instead of the teeny tiny surface mount ones. I used Lexan/ Polycarbonate for the structure, which I ended up cutting into strips. Finally, I used sanded down magnet wire to connect up the LEDs because that's what I had around, regular wire would work fine too if you strip it.
If you wanted to make this project a bit easier, you could just wire up LEDs into a pattern that wouldn't change or be programmable. Go get yourself a pumpkin and get to it. Make sure to post the results to the Halloween contest and to the Make flickr pool.

Boyfriend's work equipment blamed in Stoneham car explosion
Car explodes in BJ's parking lot after owner pops trunk
A car exploded in the parking lot of the BJ's Wholesale Club in Stoneham Sunday afternoon after the vehicle's owner popped the trunk with the car's remote key.
"I popped my trunk and my car blew up," car owner Jackie Sugrue said.
Her 2012 Honda Civic was destroyed. Glass and debris strewn were everywhere. No one in the Stoneham BJ's parking lot was injured in the 3:30 p.m. blast.
"It was chaotic. Everybody was running. It was like a war zone. Everyone ran," one witness said.
Police, including the bomb squad, quickly arrived and what they found in the trunk would ultimately explain the bizarre explosion.
Sugrue's boyfriend had welding equipment in the car. He uses the equipment for HVAC work.
The fire marshal believes Sugrue's remote opener set off a small electrical charge that ignited vapors from acetylene tanks in the car.
Sugure, a Winchester Hospital nurse, said it could have been much worse.
"No one was hurt. Thank God. I don't know how no one got hurt. I'm just thankful for that," she said.

Three Lions named Big Ten Field Hockey Players to Watch
Three Lions named Big Ten Field Hockey Players to Watch
UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. -- Three Penn State field hockey players were named to the 2014 Big Ten Field Hockey Players to Watch List. Seniors Katie Breneman (Washington Boro, Pa.), Laura Gebhart (Mount Joy, Pa.) and Taylor Herold (Fredericksburg, Va.) each earned recognition.
In 2013, Breneman helped anchor a Nittany Lion squad that secured six shutouts. She started all 19 contests and logged 1,302 minutes played, the third most on the team. Breneman also was named to the Gladiator by SGI/NFHCA Division I National Academic Squad and the Academic All-Big Ten team.
Gebhart is named to the list for the third-straight season. The senior earned First Team All-Big Ten honors following last season and was named a 2013 Longstreth/NFHCA Division I Second Team All-American. As a junior, Gebhart paced the Nittany Lions with 14 assists.
Herold, named to the list for the first time, was a 2013 Second Team All-Big Ten selection. Last season, she started 18 games and led the squad with 13 goals and 30 points, while also earning Academic All-Big Ten honors.
Penn State officially opens the season at home on Aug. 29 at 5 p.m., taking on Old Dominion at the Penn State Field Hockey Complex.
