Managing Orphan Drugs for Rare Diseases: Challenges, Opportunities, and Value Assessment
Release Date: May 27, 2017
Expiration Date: May 27, 2020
Activity Type: Knowledge-based
Credit Hours: 1.5 contact hours
Activity Fee: Member: $15.00 Non-Member: $30.00
Activity Overview:
Managing Orphan Drugs for Rare Diseases: Challenges, Opportunities and Value Assessment. The Orphan Drug Act of 1983 established incentives for the development of drugs used to treat rare diseases—conditions that affect fewer than 200,000 people in the United States. More than 400 medications have been approved with orphan status since then. Today, orphan drugs are being approved at a record pace, and they account for an ever-increasing percentage of specialty drug approvals. Rare diseases and orphan drugs pose unique challenges for payers, because standard population management strategies often don't apply. In an evidence-based world, how do we assess and apply results of clinical trials that may include 100 or fewer patients? How do we evaluate efficacy in the absence of biomarkers or other objective measures of clinical outcome? How do we assess value if traditional cost-effectiveness calculations are unreliable? This session will provide the payer perspective on managing orphan drugs for rare diseases and explore promising methods for assessing the value of treatment. The panel discussion that follows will expand the dialogue to include viewpoints from a number of key stakeholders.
Target audience: This program was designed for managed care pharmacists and those with an interest in the management of specialty pharmacy utilization and spend.
Learning Objectives:
At the completion of this activity, participants should be able to:
1. Identify at least three challenges payers face when determining coverage for orphan drugs.
2. Discuss how the available evidence may best be used to assess treatments for rare diseases.
3. Describe promising methods of assessing the value of treatments for rare diseases.
4. Explain how coverage decisions for orphan drugs affect key stakeholders, including patients and clinicians.

With the seventh film in the X-Men movie franchise leading the 2014 summer blockbuster charge and Guardians of the Galaxy about to throw its hat in the ring, you'd be forgiven for thinking that the comic movie market has always been with us. But back in 1999 comic book franchises couldn't get near the big screen. CGI technology hadn't reached the stage where directors could create believable superheroes, and even if they could studios weren't willing to take the financial gamble. More than that, audiences weren't interested. In 1978 people believed a man could fly. As the millennium approached people believed lycra was for losers.
The late eighties / early nineties saw a massive boom in the American comics industry, and beating out popular franchises such as Spiderman and Batman for the top selling comic were The Uncanny X-Men. Strong writing and a large cast of relatable characters were the key factors to the Marvel title's success. Created in 1963 by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby, their X-Men comic was a unique reflection of the racial tensions that were dividing America. Though the writing was very much of the "Gosh jeepers" style of the time, the central idea of a cast of teens shunned by society because of the make-up of their genes was a revelation. It took a while for fans to catch on and for the writing style to match the maturity of the comics underlying theme of societal racism, but by the late eighties fans and writers had got there. A 1992 animated X-Men television show that wowed children and adults alike was the icing on the cake.
Then in the mid-nineties the comic market crashed. An industry driven by its own self-inflated prices and push to sell as much product as possible imploded. Marvel Comics filed for bankruptcy and warehouses of unsold comics started to gather dust. Despite this, in 1998 director Stephen Norrington convinced New Line Cinema to stump up the cash for a movie adaptation of the minor Marvel character Blade. Blade (1998) was a hit with both fans and critics. Although it sprung from the pages of a comic book Norrington aimed his story at an adult audience and worked hard to base his characters in the real world. Fellow director Bryan Singer took note and a year later set about making the first successful blockbuster comic movie since Batman (1989) and the first comic story to be rooted in our reality since Superman (1978). Singer's X-Men (2000) was a triumph.
The key to the movie's success was its grounding. Singer chose actors over A-listers, dispensed with the day-glo outfits from the comics and TV show, and did his best to explain the X-Men's unique abilities with as much conventional science as possible. This was a story about the evolution of man (albeit, evolution that resulted in cool super-powers). Fans clamoured for sequels, and with the further success of X2 (2003) the way was paved for Spiderman (2002), Batman Begins (2005), The Avengers Assemble (2012) and millions of dollars in box office takings. So in tribute to the comic movie franchise that got us to where we are today, and to celebrate the release of X-Men: Days of Future Past (2014), we take a look back at all the mutants who've graced the silver screen to date and examine just how faithful they've been to their on-paper counterparts.
The comic characters are certainly stylised. With the exception of those mutants whose unique look was their power (Blob, Marrow, etc) all the X-Men sport ripped, muscle laden physiques, while all the X-Women have tiny waists and hefty bosoms. Their uniforms are garish and impractical, and all of them seem to share Wolverine's gift of not aging. Much of this had to be jettisoned to create a more believable onscreen universe. But the characters on the page also had unique personalities that made their mutant adventures such a joy to read. First up we look at the X-heroes to see how they've fared in Hollywood:
1. Professor Xavier
If there was one actor that was a shoe-in for a role in the first X-Men movie it was Sir Patrick Stewart. You might put that down to the smooth dome he shared with the X-Men's leader, but aside from the obvious physical likeness Stewart had the gravitas and believable leadership qualities (thanks to years spent as the Captain of the starship Enterprise) to make him the prime candidate for Charles Xavier. It wasn't all sweetness and like though. Stewart could break out his Shakespearean bellow for those moments when Xavier chose to be a bit of a bastard, which as comic fans will atest to, he sometimes was. James McAvoy's take on the young Xavier was just as enthralling and had the benefit of no comic precedent, the pre-X-Men days of Xavier largely unexplored on the page. Injecting some swagger into the role, his Xavier used his powers more for hitting on the ladies than for fighting for peace. His transition to the latter made for a fascinating journey in First Class. Exactly how Xavier looses his hair though remains to be seen. Comic to screen accuracy: 10/10
2. Wolverine
There's nothing like comic character casting to rile up nerds. Russell Crowe was Singer's first choice for Wolverine, but he turned the part down. Next up was Dougray Scott, who eventually passed due to scheduling conflicts. Keanu Reeves expressed an interest, but Singer ended up going with a fairly unknown Aussie actor called Hugh Jackman. It seems like the perfect casting now, but at the time it didn't go down too well. The most obvious disparity was Jackman's height; at 6ft 2in he was far too tall to play the rather short Canadian mutant. Non comic fans are often surprised to find that the on-page Wolverine is only 5ft 3in. But so good was Jackman at portraying every other facet of the character fans quickly forgot their initial misgivings over the actor's height. The scruffy facial fuzz, the wild hair, the muscled physique, the angry growl, the permanent PMT, it was all there. The writing was spot on to, the various X-movie scriptwriters always getting James "Logan" Howlett note perfect. Comic to screen accuracy: 10/10
3. Cyclops
Back when Singer was putting together his wish list of X-Men actors, Jim Caviezel had been slotted in as the X-Men's in-the-field leader, Scott Summers. When he pulled out the slightly younger James Marsden stepped in. Looks wise, Marsden was a touch too short and a little too young looking for Cyclops when compared to his beau Jean Grey and the suddenly quite tall Wolverine. But performance wise Marsden got everything right. Modelling his Scott Summers on a traditional boy-scout, the slightly stuffy X-leader that fans knew so well was realised on screen. He also got to deliver some of the best lines in the series "What would you prefer, yellow spandex?", "Stay away from my girl". It's just a slight shame Cyclops got offed before he could show any real leadership; in most of the battles he's involved in he's either chasing around after Jean or inadvertently blowing roofs off. Comic to screen accuracy: 8/10
4. Jean Grey / Phoenix
A character of two halves, Jean Grey was either getting headaches and being rescued by her long-term love Cyclops, or she was destroying worlds as the most powerful mutant entity in the universe, the Phoenix. Fortunately, Singer decided to make the movie Jean Grey a bit less of a wet blanket and cast the former Bond villainess Famke Janssen. The Dutch actress had the right blend of good looks and maturity, and the acting chops to fill both the main love triangle with Jackman and Marsden. Singer also wisely chose to introduce Dr. Grey early on in X-Men (2000) as an authority figure addressing a Senate hearing on the mutant issue. Things didn't progress that well for the character, the Dark Phoenix storyline slightly wasted in X-Men: The Last Stand (2006), but at least the Phoenix character looked the part and was impressively played by Janssen right up to the emotional punch of her final embrace with Wolverine. Comic to screen accuracy: 9/10
5. Storm
The on-page Ororo Monroe is a tall, toned Amazonian woman with a motherly air but the ability to kick ass if she felt the need to raise her voice and lower the air pressure. What the part called for was someone with Grace Jones' look and Oprah Winfrey's personality. Angela Bassett was originally approached and would have been ideal for the part, but when she turned down the role Singer cast Halle Berry instead. All credit to the director, he at least went with another performer with considerable acting talent. But unfortunately for Berry the script woefully underwrote the Storm character, lumbering her with clangers for lines, naff costumes and nothing much to do other than stand around looking concerned. Less of a storm, more of a wet weekend. Comic to screen accuracy: 2/10
6. Rogue
In the comics Rogue is a southern belle with a strong accent, a body to die for, super strength and the ability to fly. She can also absorb other people's powers and memories through touch. The latter facet was the only thing Singer kept from the page, along with a white fringe tribute and her Mississippi accent (he also left out the fact that Rogue is Mystique's step-daughter). The director turned his Rogue into a much younger, girl next door type, and the catalyst for his X-Men (2000) script, her absorption powers the trigger for Magento's evil plot. The script written the way it was, there was no way Rogue could be anything like she is in the comics, which is a slight shame given how well loved her character is. Singer's character template was the adolescent Jubilee from the 1992 television show, a girl in her late teens adjusting to life with her new powers and confiding in Wolverine as an odd father figure crush. Despite these departures from the on-page Rogue character, Anna Paquin did wonders with the script and her Rogue was still a memorable character; that was until the sequels when she got sulky and pissed off to get her powers removed. Comic to screen accuracy: 4/10
7. Iceman
Changing his status from one of the original X-Men and to a much younger student at Xavier's school, Singer aligned Bobby Drake with Rogue and set up a whole new X-Men love story (the pair have never had liaisons in the comics). On the page Iceman is the wisecracking, cocksure mutant of the bunch. Shawn Ashmore's performance, or rather the script he had to work with, was much more subdued. Ashmore looked the part though, and the Iceman effects when things got chilly worked well. Comic to screen accuracy: 6/10
8. Beast
Look closely and in X2 (2003) you'll see Dr. Hank McCoy on a news broadcast discussing the mutant problem. This was Beast before he went furry, when he was a young X-man. But it's the cuddly Beast fans really love, so when the acrobatic brainiac appeared in the third X-Men movie Brett Ratner cast perfectly and got Kelsey Grammer on board. When you read Beast in the comics you can almost hear Frasier's voice in your head. Couple that with a brilliant body suit for Grammer and his Beast was one of the best things in X-Men: The Last Stand (2006). When he was recast in X-Men: First Class (2011) Matthew Vaughn brought in Nicholas Hoult. The young act had the chops to do solid work with the script but his build was too slight for a young Hank McCoy and his eventual Beast transformation looked too slender and more cat like than fans were used to seeing. This visual misstep was rectified in Days of Future Past when Hoult's Beast look was beefed up accordingly. Comic to screen accuracy: 8/10
9. Colossus
The steel clad Russian X-Man Peter Rasputin was always going to be tricky to pull off visually. Singer overcame that hurdle though with some impressive CGI, and one of the coolest on screen X-Men was born. But having done the hard work Singer then tripped over the easy part. Instead of an older more experienced X-Man, Singer made his Colossus a younger student. He also made him American. Still, at least actor Daniel Cudmore had the physique to do the iron mutant proud, standing a towering 6ft 7in and sporting a barn-door build. Ratner also squeezed in the infamous "fastball special", a fan favourite tag-team move between Colossus and Wolverine that sees the Russian flinging the Canadian at whatever opponent stands in their way. Comic to screen accuracy: 8/10
10. Angel
The original five X-Men in 1963 were Cyclops, Jean Grey, Iceman, Beast and Angel. Singer chose to play around with character ages and timeframes in order to make his films work, and one of the casualties was the winged mutant Warren Worthington III. When he did finally crop up in the third film actor Ben Foster was stuck with a mutant who would rather have his wings removed than use them to fight alongside the X-Men. However, Foster certainly looked the part, with the CGI Angel wings and slick blonde hair. With the next X-Men movie already announced as X-Men: Apocalypse fans wait to see if Angel's transformation to the steel winged Archangel as one of Apocalypse's horsemen is on the cards. Comic to screen accuracy: 6/10
11. Nightcrawler
One of the most faithful adaptations in the X-movies, Alan Cumming's portrayal of Nightcrawler was a spot on rendition of the German mutant Kurt Wagner. Even without make-up Cumming had a look which invoked Nightcrawler, and with the "Bamph" special-effects the mutant's teleportation powers looked fantastic as he debuted spinning around the White House. Cumming also did wonders with the script, fully embodying Wagner's ever optimistic attitude towards life. It's a real shame that he has only appeared in one outing to date, X2 (2003). Non-comic fans may have noted the yellow eyes and blue skin and put two and two together; in the comic, Nightcrawler is Mystique's son (effectively making him Rogue's stepbrother). Comic to screen accuracy: 10/10
12. Gambit
Second behind Wolverine in the popularity stakes is the raging Cajun, Remy Lebeau. A cheeky thief from the Bayou, the smooth talking playing-card thrower was the one mutant fans were clamouring to see on the big screen (he was played by James Bamford in X2 (2003) but the scenes ended up on the cutting room floor). He was eventually introduced in X-Men Origins: Wolverine (2009) but as this was set in 1979 it raises questions as to how Gambit can appear in future outings and still be of appropriate age. Still, what we do see of Gambit is impressive. Taylor Kitsch certainly looked the part and his back alley throwdown with Wolverine is one of the highlights of the film. Unfortunately we just didn't see enough of him to get the full Gambit effect. The will-they-won't-they relationship between Remy and Rogue has been a long and popular story thread in the comics. Again, with Paquin's Rogue going down a different path, the chances of this plot ever making it to cinemas remains remote. Here's hoping Kitsch gets to don the brown raincoat again in the future. Comic to screen accuracy: 8/10
13. Kitty Pryde / Shadowcat
Three actresses have had a stab at Kitty Pryde, though it's Ellen Page who has made the role her own (Sumela Kay and Katie Stuart appeared only as cameos). Only recently has Kitty moved on from being a teenage character in the comics, finally given status as a teacher at the Xavier Institute. So it's as a teenager most comic fans remember her, and that's just how Page presents her on screen, looking the part and playing the part well. The only thing missing was Kitty's pink alien mini-dragon Lockheed who would often perch on her shoulder; this was probably a good thing. Despite all the good work, Kitty was bumped from the Days of Future Past storyline. In the comics it's Kitty who goes back in time to warn the older X-Men of the impending mutant holocaust; in the movie its Wolverine who travels back to try and change time, leaving Ellen Page stuck in a disastrous near future. Comic to screen accuracy: 9/10
14. Banshee
In the comics Sean Cassidy, aka Banshee, was a long-ginger-haired Irish man's man with the ability to fly by screeching to create supersonic sound waves. He was also an Interpol agent before joining the X-Men's second team and starting a long-term relationship with Xavier's unrequited love Dr. Moira MacTaggert. In X-Men: First Class (2011) Caleb Landry Jones' Banshee is distinctly non-Irish and non-adult. His eventual uniform for the Cuba Missile Crisis battle at the end had some nice nods to the original Banshee costume, but as Landry Jones is not appearing in Days of Future Past fans won't get to see if the onscreen Banshee will move more towards his comic origins or not. Comic to screen accuracy: 4/10
15. Havok
Here the timeline really starts to come off the rails. In the comics Alex Summers is the younger brother of Scott Summers, aka Cyclops. But noting that Scott Summers is in high school in 1979 during X-Men Origins: Wolverine (2009) and that Alex is already in his late teens in X-Men: First Class (2011) which is set in 1962, something has gone wrong somewhere. Whether they are going to flip the brother's age and make Alex the older brother remains to be seen. Outside of this rather large oversight, Lucas Till does well with the role, looking the part of a young Havok and eventually suiting up into something that kind of resembles the traditional Havok costume. His onscreen powers also looked good, although for better accuracy they need to move from his chest to his hands. Comic to screen accuracy: 6/10
16. Darwin
A more recent addition to the X-Men comic world, Darwin made his first appearance in X-Men: Deadly Genesis (2006). It was a strange choice to bulk out the cast of X-Men: First Class (2011) with other more notable mutants missing out. But the character worked well on screen albeit for the brief spell he was an X-Man. Fans debate whether Kevin Bacon's Sebastian Shaw really killed him off or whether Darwin's power of reactive evolution was able to get him out of another sticky spot. Given how watchable actor Armando Munoz and how well he suited the part, here's hoping it's the latter. Comic to screen accuracy: 7/10
17. Leech
Brought in more as a plot device than a character for development, Leech's power to neutralise other mutant's powers when they are within his near vicinity drove the plot of X-Men: The Last Stand (2006). Cameron Bright looked striking in the part, his shaved head a possible tribute to Xavier, an equally powerful mutant. But in the comics Leech is one of the Morlocks, a band of mutants banished underground due to their physically unappealing nature. The Morlock Leech is short and green in appearance. It would have been more interesting for Ratner to go with this look and maybe even introduce additional Morlocks, but the more audience friendly approach was taken. Comic to screen accuracy: 3/10
18. Siryn
The younger sister of Banshee, Theresa Rourke Cassidy is one of the younger mutants seen around the school in the sequel X2 (2003). Actress Shauna Kain got her big moment when it was time to shake the walls of the Xavier mansion when Stryker's covert ops team bust through the windows in the middle of the night. Like her brother, in the comics she is an Irish mutant with a shock of red hair and the usual set of comic heroine curves. In the film she's anything but that. To date there's no word on whether Siryn will give her vocal chords another workout. Comic to screen accuracy: 3/10
19. Jubilee
Jubilation Lee made her comic debut in 1989 but it wasn't until the 1992 television series that her popularity really took off. She was very much the eyes and ears for viewers, discovering the world of X-Men anew just like we were. Though she sprang from the nineties "mall rat" teen culture she remained popular even after the animated television show came to an end. Her journey through the show became the template Singer used for Rogue in X-Men (2000), Anna Paquin becoming the viewpoint through which audiences discovered mutants on the big screen. As a result Jubilee's movie story has gone untold. This is a shame as actresses Katrina Florece and Kea Wong both looked the part, right down to the yellow coat, funky shades and chunky jewellery. Comic to screen accuracy: 7/10
20. Dr. Moira MacTaggert
Our first non-mutant hero and the long-time love interest of Professor Xavier, the Scottish Moira MacTaggert is an expert mutant biologist in the comics. Her first outing on screen kept true to this with Olivia Williams appearing briefly to somehow help Xavier jump into the body of a brain dead mutant in X-Men: The Last Stand (2006). But things got confusing in X-Men: First Class (2011) with Moira somehow defying age to appear in the early 1960s as actress Rose Byrne, no longer practising medicine but fighting international terrorism for the CIA. As good as Byrne looked in the role and as impressively as she handled the script, it did feel like the shoe-horning in of another name familiar to fans just for the sake of it. Comic to screen accuracy: 5/10
21. Artie Maddicks
Another blink and miss it student cameo for one of the lesser known mutants, Artie Maddicks first appeared in X-Factor issue 2 back in 1986. X-Factor was Marvel's third major X-Men comic, reuniting the original five mutants in a whole new team which worked directly for the government to help solve mutant issues. Artie has only been a minor mutant over the years, his ability to telepathically project images lost during a mass depowering of mutants in a recent Marvel storyline. On screen he appears only briefly and forked tongue aside looks nothing like his pink skinned comic forbear. Comic to screen accuracy: 3/10
22. Yukio
Moving on to the more recent The Wolverine (2013) James Mangold attempted to bring the original classic four part Wolverine comic from 1982 to cinemas, with mixed results. Pitched younger in the film than in the comic, to avoid any potential love interest between Wolverine and his Japanese sidekick, actress Rila Fukushima made a strong impression with a role that could have been lost in the background. One further controversial decision was Yukio's power to foresee people's deaths. While it's not stated on screen whether this is a mutant ability, it's certainly implied. As a story tool to ramp up the tension leading to Wolverine's "death", it works. But it also stands as an unnecessary straying from the original source material. Thankfully, Fukushima's strong work covers over most of these niggles. Comic to screen accuracy: 6/10
23. Mariko Yashida
In the comics, Mariko Yashida is Wolverine's first wife; in the movie The Wolverine their relationship is left hanging. If only Logan would stop pining after Jean. A fairly standard character in the comics, the on screen adaptation by actress Tao Okamoto made the most of the role. The chemistry between Okamoto and Jackman was strong, and bodes well for future outings, though it's doubtful whether Logan will return to the Orient. Mangold was able to make Mariko a strong character without resorting to the obviousness of outfitting her with a set of kickass martial arts moves, something which everyone from the Far East has according to Hollywood. Comic to screen accuracy: 8/10
24. Vindicator
The kindly old lady whose sink Wolverine smashes to pieces? In the credits she's listed as Heather Hudson, and as any X-comic fan will tell you Hudson herself is a mutant. Known as Vindicator, she has the ability to fly, to create a force-field and to manipulate geo-thermal energy. Together with her husband James Hudson, aka Guardian, they are part of the somewhat bizarrely named group Alpha Flight, Canada's own team of mighty mutants. In the comics Heather and James did indeed take Wolverine in during his post Weapon X transformation when he was left wandering the wilderness. Whether elderly actress Julia Blake is going to don her own set of superhero togs anytime soon remains doubtful, and the name check in the credits was more than likely just a nod to eagle-eyed fans. Comic to screen accuracy: 0/10
25. Bishop
The first of the new mutants introduced in Days of Future Past, visually director Singer got things spot on. His long dreadlocks, "M" face tattoo, and man-mountain physique make him a unique mutant, and actor Omar Sy filled out his costume to perfection. Bishop's energy absorption powers were also expertly utilised, even extending to a sidearm that the character could recharge with his own mutant ability. The only thing missing was the characters chip-on-the-shoulder, man-out-of-time personality, Bishop's onscreen time limited to high action encounters with the future Sentinels. Comic to screen accuracy: 8/10
26. Blink
Another of the newbies, Blink has a chequered past in the comics, being killed off not long after her first introduction only to be redrawn and recreated with a new look and vibe in a parallel universe a short time later. For Days of Future Past Singer has did away with the pink skin and green outfit look, but retained the distinctive face tattoos for Chinese actress and popstar Fan Bingbing. The use of her teleportation portal powers was also inspired, allowing the X-Men to take fight to the Sentinels in a brilliantly unique way. Comic to screen accuracy: 6/10
27. Sunspot
Another minor mutant given promotion to the big league thanks to Days of Future Past, Sunspot is the X-Men's equivalent to the evil Pyro, his mutant ability to control solar power and redirect it very similar to Pyro's flame wielding ability. Adam Canto's movie look appears to be based on the original Sunspot from the second Marvel X-title New Mutants, before the character turned into a walking jet black humanoid some years later. Again, like most of the Days newly introduced mutants, the script doesn't provide Canto with any lines to flesh out his character. Comic to screen accuracy: 7/10
28. Warpath
One of the first (and only) mutants to be killed off and actually stay dead, the native American-Indian Thunderbird didn't last long in the X-Men comics before heading to the big Danger Room in the sky. He left behind a little brother though, James Proudstar, aka Warpath, who quickly turned from vengeful villain to X-Force recruit. Warpath has a range of powers including heightened strength, speed, agility and flight. Singer recruited actor Boo Boo Stewart for an impressive looking Warpath, though its not quite clear from the action exactly what that characters powers are in the film. Comic to screen accuracy: 7/10
Next up, we do battle with the X-villains!

New Delhi: With government appearing to
have allayed most of its concerns over the Civil Nuclear
Liability Bill, the BJP today indicated that it is likely to
support the legislation paving the way for smooth sailing of
the controversial measure in Parliament.
Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee`s meeting with BJP top
brass L K Advani, Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha Sushma
Swaraj, her counterpart in Rajya Sabha Arun Jaitley today
ended on a positive note with both sides reaching a consensus
on most issues in the draft bill.
BJP sources said the "body language" of Mukherjee
appeared positive and the government reportedly assured the
main Opposition that "four-five" of their main concerns were
being taken care of.
The right-wing party had opposed the Rs 500 crore cap on
compensation terming it too less and also the no-fault
liability provision. It demanded more powers to the Claims
Commissioner to prevent multiple counters for appeal besides
fixing of some liability for the supplier among others.
The Parliamentary Standing Committee on Science and
Technology met this afternoon to take a final view on the
report on Civil Liability for Nuclear Damages Bill 2010.
With BJP and the UPA regime arriving at a broad
understanding on the issue, the idea of a giving a dissent
note with the report has been dropped, sources said.
The government is keen on passage of the Bill in Lok
Sabha in the on-going monsoon session of Parliament.
BJP sources said if its concerns are met as promised by
the government today, then it is likely to support the Bill in
Lok Sabha. This would isolate the Left parties which are still
opposed to the Bill.
If the BJP stands with the government on the proposed
nuclear legislation, the Congress-led regime would not need
the support of BSP, SP and RJD.

Movie Shoot?
What the hell movie are they shooting around downtown? Three damn times the shooting has been in my way. Once on Comm Ave near Fairfield, once on Clarendon at Tremont, and the other day at Berkeley and Newbury. WTF is going on? I'm just trying to get from Point A to Point B, people. Stop checking for movie stars and get out the way, S.V.P.

|THE FIRST THING I do this week is check for Dathana, but he's still offline. I don't know much about him, except that he's Burmese, runs a blog called "Nyein Chan Yar" "" "Sanctuary of Place of Serenity""" and has been one of the world's windows on the current crackdown in Burma. "I eat just a new ache of life every day," he had written on August 23, posting pictures of a non violent demonstration in the country. His last post, on September 24, was upbeat:
|"Today, I was overwhelmed with excitement for seeing flood of monks andpeople from all layers marched on the streets. At around 2 pm, about 30thousand of monks passed near the Thein-Gyi market. Majority were monks but people walked at the side of monks holding each others hands," he wrote, under his monicker, "Eccentric Ghost".
|Dathana's blog: http://dathana.blogspot.com/
|Until September 29, there were two versions of what was happening in Burma "" the official version, and the view from the ground. The Burma (Myanmar) Blog and Irrawaddy reported a groundswell of protests, with the monks leading an estimated 100,000 people through the streets of Yangon in one demonstration.
|Every statement by the military junta was countered by pictures snapped on mobile phones, emails, reports of the number of monks brutally killed.
|The regime was discovering one of the truths of the information age "" you can't cover up the truth. On 26 September, Moemaka carried pictures of the Ngwe Kyar Yan monastery in Rangoon with ransacked rooms and bloodspattered walls.
|The Burma (Myanmar) Blog: http://mtmblog.blogspot.com/
|Irrawaddy (an expatriate's news journal): http://www.irrawaddy.org/
|Moemaka: http://moemaka.blogspot.com
|In previous wars and conflict zones, the blogs have done most of the talking, providing the view from the ground, offering insights and snapshots of daily life in a way that normal journalism cannot match.
|But Burma is on Facebook, too, and on YouTube, and Flickr, and Picasa "" every virtual space on the net that can be made to bear witness has been pressed into service.
|The Facebook group "Support The Monk's Protest in Burma" carries a list of protest actions and suggests how we can get involved. Videos on YouTube show the monks' protests and the police crackdown in grim detail.
|"Support the Monks' Protest" on Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=24957770200
|Police clash video on YouTube: http://youtube.com/watch?v=ZRmOibAEDGQ
|Last Friday, the regime finally woke up to the fact that the world was watching. Dathana reported that it was getting harder to connect to the net. On September 27, Irrawaddy's website was hit by a computer virus, though it's back up now.
|Then cybercafes were closed, online access from within Burma to most of the net was cut off "" emails can only be sent within the country, and the regime is reported to be monitoring mails.
|But silence on the web is every bit as eloquent, and the crackdown has only focused more attention on Burma. Global Voices Online's Myanmar page has been translating what's up on the blogs "" for instance, blogger Niknayman's list of over 300 monks and civilians who have been arrested.
|Today, over 1,500 bloggers will put up "silent posts" with just a Free Burma! banner and button displayed on their blogs, in symbolic solidarity with those who've been silenced. I have the blogs and Facebook pages open on my browser, a collage of hope and despair, a chronicle of arrests, bloodstains, crackdowns, protests, deaths and disappearances.
|For the last week, nothing has been updated. But thousands of people across the world check every day, read the old blog entries, and hope. I think of Dathana, whose parents wouldn't let him join the protestors for too long because they worried for him. I check his page, even though I know the ban on the internet in Burma is still operational. One of these days, he might update his blog, and I don't want to miss that post.

Julie's Review: Mothers & Daughters
Summary: A rich and luminous novel about three generations of women in one family: the love they share, the dreams they refuse to surrender, and the secrets they hold. Samantha is lost in the joys of new motherhood—the softness of her eight-month-old daughter's skin, the lovely weight of her child in her arms—but in trading her artistic dreams to care for her child, Sam worries she's lost something of herself. And she is still mourning another loss: her mother, Iris, died just one year ago. When a box of Iris's belongings arrives on Sam's doorstep, she discovers links to pieces of her family history but is puzzled by much of the information the box contains. She learns that her grandmother Violet left New York City as an eleven-year-old girl, traveling by herself to the Midwest in search of a better life. But what was Violet's real reason for leaving? And how could she have made that trip alone at such a tender age? In confronting secrets from her family's past, Sam comes to terms with deep secrets from her own. Moving back and forth in time between the stories of Sam, Violet, and Iris, Mothers and Daughters is the spellbinding tale of three remarkable women connected across a century by the complex wonder of motherhood. ~raemeadows.com
Review: I love when an author chooses to tell us the story of a family from three different view points. Ms. Meadows chose to tell us the story from Sam, Iris and Violet's point of views. Mothers and Daughters is a spectacular novel of these three women's lives and how they shaped each other.
Samantha, Sam, is a new mother and is consumed by her role in Ella's life. She's a bit of a nervous Nelly in this role, which to me was daunting at times. I get being a new mother can be overwhelming and stressful, but part of me wondered if she was going through postpartum depression.
Iris, is Sam's mom and she's dying of cancer. After her divorce from her husband, she picked up her life and moved to Sanibel Island. She wanted to start over and enjoy finding out who she was without the constraints of her former life.
Violet, is Iris' mom, who passed away when Samantha was a baby. She was 11 years old when her mother put her on the Orphan Train from New York City, heading west to a new life. We get to know Violet as a young girl living on the streets of New York to her travels West for a new life.
Of all three stories, Violet's was the one that I sank myself into. The grittiness of her life, the stark reality of it, consumed me. Ms. Meadows did a fantastic job of detailing the city during the time period and of the long train ride to the Midwest. I can't imagine how Violet had to chose between a better life and staying with her mom Lilibeth, who was a drug addict. I can't fathom what her life must have been like as an adult constantly wondering about her mom and what her life could have been like. How upsetting it must have been for her. No wonder she didn't know how to be a loving mother, since she didn't have a good example.
Ms. Meadows did a great job of pulling all three stories together but yet each had their own distinctive voice. I always find it fascinating how our relationship with our mother defines us in ways that we don't always understand or comprehend. It's this aspect of the book that I found intriguing.
Ms. Meadows does a superb job of wrapping up each story, but I will admit I wanted just a little more. I wanted to know what Sam found out about Violet and her history.
If you love books about familial relationships, then on 3/29/2011, you need to get your copy of Mothers and Daughters.
I must also add that the ARC came in the most beautiful package. It felt like a beautiful gift to unveil. I don't think the picture of the cover does it justice. The colors are so vibrant and bright making it extremely appealing to the senses.
Thanks to Henry Holt for sending me an ARC of the book to read!
Final Take: 4.75/5

Seattle Child Endangerment Lawyer
The law believes that an adult who is responsible for caring for a youngster also has the responsibility of keeping that child protected from unreasonable danger. When the parent fails to do so, he or she could be found guilty of child endangerment.
Child endangerment is more than direct physical youngster abuse. You may also be accused of child endangerment if you allow any youngster to suffer needlessly, neglect a child's health, allow a child's health or well-being to be threatened, or if you inflict any form of mental cruelty, physical abuse, or emotional abuse on a child. In the state of Washington, it's possible that you could be charged with the abuse of children in situations where you are not violating a law – for instance, when you are disciplining your own child. If you are arrested and charged with child endangerment in the greater Seattle area, consult with experienced Seattle child endangerment attorney Kevin Trombold at once. With more than two decades of criminal defense experience, attorney Kevin Trombold is ready to fight for justice on your behalf.
Everyone wants to stop youngsters abuse, but a full legal definition of what constitutes child endangerment is a long definition because endangerment includes emotional and physical abuse, child neglect, and domestic violence. When you discipline your children, sometimes that action can be misinterpreted as signs of youngster abuse or twisted to seem worse than it is.
The state is understandably quite interested in preventing youngster abuse, so if you're charged with child endangerment, you must have the counsel of an experienced Seattle youngster endangerment attorney who will aggressively challenge the state's allegations against you. The punishments for defendants convicted of child endangerment can vary depending on the circumstances of the alleged crime and the defendant's previous convictions – if any – but if you're convicted, do not expect the court to be merciful. Child protection is one of this state's top priorities, so jail time is probable upon a youngster endangerment conviction.
Criminal mistreatment laws are just one of the ways that Washington can hold parents and caretakers accountable for the health and well-being of their children. The state of Washington can charge parents or other caretakers with criminal mistreatment of a youngster in the first degree if these caretakers recklessly cause great bodily harm by withholding food, water, shelter, clothing or other basic necessities from the child. This is a class B felony and may be punishable by up to ten years in prison and a $20,000 fine.
Criminal mistreatment of a youngster in the second degree occurs when a parent or caretaker acts recklessly and creates an imminent and substantial risk to the youngster because of this reckless behavior. You may also be charged with this crime if you cause the child to sustain a temporary injury on the body because you have withheld food, water, shelter, clothing or other basic necessities. This is a class C felony and may be punishable by up to five years in prison and a $10,000 fine.
Criminal mistreatment of a youngster in the third degree occurs when the criminal negligence of a parent or caretaker creates an imminent or substantial risk to the youngster . It can also be charged when the child has sustained a temporary injury because you have withheld food, water, shelter, clothing or other basic necessities. This is a gross misdemeanor that is punishable by up to one year in jail and a $5,000 fine. Although criminal mistreatment in the second and third degree are very similar, they do have one difference. Second degree criminal mistreatment occurs when the parent or caretaker acts recklessly, while third degree criminal mistreatment occurs as a result of criminal negligence.
Finally, criminal mistreatment in the fourth degree occurs when a parent or caretaker creates an imminent or substantial risk to the child or causes bodily injury or emotional distress to the youngster. This is punishable by up to 90 days in jail and a $1,000 fine.
Besides criminal mistreatment charges, parents or other responsible adults may be accused of child endangerment for abandoning their youngster. This means that the adult has left the child alone without the ability to obtain the basic necessities that the youngster needs to survive. Abandonment is considered a form of child endangerment and is a separate charge from criminal mistreatment.
If you or a loved one has been charged with criminal mistreatment, contact a Seattle youngster endangerment lawyer as soon as possible.
The definition of youngster endangerment is broad and therefore, a wide variety of actions can fall under this term. Some examples of child endangerment include:
- Leaving a youngster locked in an unattended vehicle
- Leaving a child unsupervised in an unsafe situation
- Failing to report that you suspect a youngster is being abused or neglected by another person
- Unreasonable punishment that results in bodily injury
- Serving alcohol to an underage minor who then drives a vehicle while under the influence
- Hiring a person with a history of child abuse or youngster sexual abuse as a childcare provider
- Driving while intoxicated with a youngster in the vehicle with you
This is not a complete list of behaviors that can be considered youngster endangerment in the eyes of the Washington law. If you are convicted of child endangerment, don't hesitate to contact an experienced Seattle youngster endangerment attorney at the Law Offices of Kevin Trombold as soon as possible.
A youngster endangerment charge can ruin your life unless you get the right help fast from the right criminal defense attorney. Experienced Seattle youngster endangerment attorney Kevin Trombold and his legal staff work swiftly and aggressively to investigate child endangerment cases and to protect the rights of clients. With over twenty years of experience and a reputation for legal excellence respected by Seattle-area judges, prosecutors, and peers, defense attorney Kevin Trombold routinely wins not guilty verdicts, dismissals, and reduced charges. If you are charged with youngster endangerment in or near the Seattle area, contact the Law Offices of Kevin Trombold by calling 206-382-9200 as quickly as possible for a no-cost initial consultation.

Returning to What Passes for Normal
I'm back! My laptop is back and functional! All is almost right with the world and I have so many scattered thoughts I don't know where to begin.
Laptop Update
My repaired laptop beat me home. While I was still in Idaho happily playing with granddaughter Sydney, my repaired laptop beat me home to Michigan sporting a new hard drive, a new mother board, an updated system BIOS, and all the original software and default settings from almost three years ago.
Do you have any idea how unhandy it is to lose all your configuration settings, internet favorites, drivers, and - well everything. It was returned with Windows XP minus all service packs and Norton Virus 2002 with no updates.
The first thing I did was to purchase Norton Internet Security 2006 (virus protection and a firewall), and then I started reinstalling, reconnecting, and reconfiguring. As of this evening, the laptop is starting to look like an old friend.
Idaho Update
Unlike the trip in August where Granddaughter Kimmy was with me and we were out doing something everyday, this time I stayed around the house. John and Anne went to work as usual, and I had an abundance of babysitting time to enjoy sweet Sydney Anne.
I do have a few Sydney pictures to share. Soon.
Have a great weekend everyone!

As clear from my review this Monday, I thoroughly enjoyed Daryl Gregory's Spoonbenders. I was fortunate enough to already have an interview scheduled before I read the book, but Daryl was kind enough to let me send him some additional questions after I finished it, so this interview will be a bit longer than usual. I also had the pleasure of meeting Daryl in person at WorldCon in Helsinki, as you can see from a picture below. Spoonbenders was published by riverrun on Thursday, go check it out and I hope you enjoy the interview! Read More …

Daryl Gregory – Spoonbenders
Meet Matthias Telemachus, Teddy Telemachus, Maureen Telemachus, Irene Telemachus, Frankie Telemachus and Buddy Telemachus! They were the Amazing Telemachus Family, who in the mid-1970s achieved widespread fame for their magic and mind reading act. That is, until the magic decided to disappear one night, live on national television.
We encounter this long-forgotten family two decades on, when grandson Matty, born long after the public fall from grace, discovers powers in himself and realises his hugely deflated, heavily indebted family truly are amazing. Spoonbenders is the legacy and legend of a dysfunctional, normal, entirely unique family across three generations of big personalities and socially inept recluses — each cursed with the potential of being something special.
Spoonbenders is Daryl Gregory's latest novel, but only the second one of his works that I've read, the other one being Harrison Squared. I'd really enjoyed Harrison's story and Gregory's writing, so I was looking forward to getting stuck into Spoonbenders. And while I thoroughly enjoyed the novel, it was completely different from Harrison's adventures. Instead of Lovecraftian monsters and teens on a mission, this time it was The Incredibles with psychic instead of super powers fight the mob. It was an absolute blast to read, but also an incredibly moving novel about family and the ties that bind. Read More …
David Sanger – All Their Minds in Tandem
The setting is October 1879. The stage is New Georgetown, West Virginia.
A mysterious figure by the name of 'The Maker' has entered this small community and, almost immediately upon doing so, started entering the minds of the townsfolk.
Townsfolk who are as curious as The Maker himself. Like Dr Umbründ, the pint-sized physician with a prodigious capacity for sin; like the three sisters in the house on the hill – one stern, one wild, one mysterious; like the tavern's semi-mythical siren, 'The Bird', who plays spellbinding music from behind a black velvet curtain, and whom no patron has ever laid eyes on; like Odell, a youth with dreams and ambitions that his craven disposition will forever prevent him from seizing; and who has spent the entirety of his erstwhile existence under the crushing heel of Clay, New Georgetown's lead cad and chief alpha male.
As we enter these characters' lives, and lightly tread our way through their brains, their bedrooms, their backstories and beyond, we will see what it is they all hope for and hide – and learn just why The Maker has chosen to meet them.
What piqued my interest about David Sanger's All Their Minds in Tandem was its pitch as pseudo-historical fiction and its billing as set in the post-Civil War era. The first indicates that there might be supernatural elements, which I always enjoy, and the second is an era which I know little about other than that it was turbulent and difficult, and so probably interesting. Combine that with a pretty cover — we all know I'm a sucker for a pretty cover — and I was in. I wasn't really sure what I was expecting the book to deliver when I was going in, except for it to be an interesting read. And Sanger debut certainly was interesting, but while I enjoyed it, I was also left a little frustrated by All Their Minds in Tandem. Read More …

When I'm not obsessing over Morocco, I'm all for Nordic styling around the home! (Which also embraces a little Moroccan appreciation at that!)
Choose 2 or 3 different surface finishes i.e. wood, marble and grey concrete and stick to those tones when it comes to accessories etc. You'll never go wrong with loads of white – and white metro tiles will instantly bring your kitchen or bathroom right on trend. Check out WOMAG for metro tiles, counter tops and more.
Mix and match chairs – and if you want to get right in there, get a lovely accent chair in tan leather! (Check out www.dark-horse.co.za)
Embrace exposed shelving.
Create an accent wall or floor area with patterned tiles. Check out Moroccan Warehouse for beautiful, handmade ones.
Bring the outdoors in! Check out this inspiring article on Decor8 all about this vibrant trend, really bringing life into a home.
Baskets as plant holders, general storage, toy baskets or simply on display sure do fulfill my styling itch! (Check out Design Africa & The Basket Room for some of my favourites.)
Glass walls are a great way to keep a sense of space while dividing a room.
Create a beautiful entrance scene or hallway. Think beautiful bench, vases, prints or artwork, circular mirrors, wall hooks and pot plants – probably not recommended if there are small people in the house!
Invest in a fabulous Kelim. Try The Moroccan Warehouse or Gonsenhausers.
Here's a bonus 77 examples of beautiful, Scandinavian interiors.

We are very excited at this announcement
Hertfordshire, UK (PRWEB) January 31, 2008

Call-Shadow is a sophisticated, distributed, easy to use low cost Call recording Software product that records VoIP calls using network sniffing. It does not require any CTI links with either Cisco CallManager or Avaya Communications Manager. Cost is approximately $350 per monitored phone.
"We are very excited at this announcement" said Shadow Marketing Director, Alex Kafkarides. "With the addition of Avaya and and Generic SIP, the size of our potential market has grown considerably." We will continue adding new platforms and will be announcing Mitel and 3Com support later in the year" he ended.

About Call-Shadow
Call-Shadow is an easy to use call recording solution that implements the corporate call record keeping policy and provides secure, easy access to call records.
It allows managers to review phone calls according to their workgroup.
Users are empowered by providing them with accurate records of their calls.
Call-Shadow can be used in mission critical implementations, because it has a clustering system with an advanced fail-over system, with no single point of failure. Should a server in a cluster become unavailable, its workload is divided between its peers without operator intervention. Such a clustering system is much superior to a simple hot-swap standby system because all servers are working, providing scalability and redundancy at the same time.
All access to replays is logged and can be audited by authorized users.
Call-Shadow is highly integrated with Cisco CallManager, having an XML phone service which allows replaying calls directly on the phone, and being integrated with CallManager's user directory (LDAP DCDirectory) for unified authentication.
It is available in two configurations, to facilitate application in a call center or company-wide.
Features and Benefits
- Record phone calls according to flexible policies. You can record every call and keep only what is important. Rules and filters can be defined to organize calls by phone number or user name patterns.
- Monitor live calls: Listen to a call as it happens, without any conferencing. You can also whisper to the agent without being heard by the external party.
- Review, Adnotate and e-Mail phone call recordings. Search by caller ids, phone numbers, adnotations, time. Everybody can access their own calls by default, but only designated supervisors can access other phone calls.
- Organize calls using flexible, color coded, folders. Calls can also be automatically assigned to folders, using filters.
- Call Retention Policies - Recordings can be kept for a period of time or until the hard-drive is filled. Some calls are more important than others, so rules can be set to manage each category differently.
- On Demand Recording lets you keep just the important calls, using a phone service.
- Multi Site: With Call-Shadow, you can record and administer many network partitions as if they were one, at no additional cost.
- Mission Critical Reliability - peer to peer clustering system with no single point of failure. Should a server failure occur, its peers in the cluster will automatically detect it and share the workload. Calls in progress are recorded from where it left.
- Scalable to thousands of ports, when using multiple servers. Calls can still be browsed & searched from a central server. The actual recordings storage is distributed amongst servers.
- Specialized Speech Compression lowers the storage requirements 8 times over MP3 and allows 18,000 hours of phone calls storage on one 120 GB hard drive.
- Call History - follow a call as it is transferred, put on hold or parked
- Audit Replays - prevent recordings abuse by browsing the list of accesses to a call.
- XML Phone Service - handily review your past calls from your XML enabled phone (Cisco IP Phones 7940, 7960 & 7970). Authenticate, Browse, Play, Rewind, e-mail, mark important. You can also assign calls to folders.
- Supervisor Access - Assign sets of phones to supervisors, using lists of phone numbers, or several types of patterns.
- Thin Client Deployment - The administration and user tools run in a web browser, be it Internet Explorer, Firefox or Opera.
- Integrated Authentication - Authentication is integrated with Cisco CallManager's directory server, so user accounts and passwords need to be set only once.
- Integrated Support Tools - Request & receive technical support with a few clicks using the Remote Helpdesk support tool.
- Passive network sniffing assures zero impact of recording on PBX performance and improves system reliability.

Over the past year, we've been hard at work conceptualizing, building and executing a new program that will revolutionize the way you perceive church media. For years, churches had only 2 choices:
1. Purchase individual video files
2. Animate, shoot and edit their own original productions
For churches, it's been very expensive and time consuming. The original creations took a very long time to create, and usually had a short shelf life
Finally, that's over.
Now it doesn't matter if you are a church of 10 or 10,000. You can create your OWN countdowns, church announcement videos, motion background loops and more… without any prior training. Build what you want, how you want, when you want.
With the Worship Media Creator, you can:
- Build Customized Countdowns that animates to your music
- Make video announcements in minutes
- Create your own worship background loops, or add your own media library
- Use built in templates to spread your message
- Export your presentation to a video file to use in your existing projection setup, or project it live!
- Share your projects and creativity with other churches
- And MUCH MUCH MORE!
It's never been easier to create and customize your own presentations. You'll get all the support and video tutorials you'll need to quickly get started. So go ahead…

Utilisation of primary and secondary G-CSF prophylaxis enables maintenance of optimal dose delivery of standard adjuvant chemotherapy for early breast cancer: An analysis of 1655 patients
Access Status
MetadataShow full item record
Optimal outcome for early breast cancer patients receiving adjuvant chemotherapy requires adequate dose delivery, commonly defined as >85% of planned dose of chemotherapy agents. Outside the clinical trial setting, reports from community oncology centres have demonstrated that a significant proportion of patients fail to receive this dose intensity, with neutropenia being the most commonly cited reason for sub-optimal treatment. Data collected prospectively on 1655 patient treated in a single breast cancer centre demonstrates that patients at risk of sub-optimal dose delivery can be identified by routine assessment of neutropenic events during the first cycle. The uniform administration of secondary G-CSF for all subsequent cycles enables dose delivery ≥85%, which was shown to lead to improved survival outcomes when compared with those patients who received <85%.
