PRINCETON, N.J.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Bristol-Myers Squibb Company (NYSE:BMY) today announced long-term follow-up results (median follow up of 20.3 months) from the lung cancer cohort (n=129) of the expanded Phase 1 dose-ranging study (003) of nivolumab, an investigational PD-1 immune checkpoint inhibitor. Results showed sustained activity in heavily pre-treated patients with non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) as defined by one- and two-year survival rates of 42% and 24%, respectively, across dose cohorts. These data, which are based on Kaplan-Meier estimates, will be presented on October 29 at the World Conference on Lung Cancer (Abstract # MO18.03).
"Our goal with immuno-oncology is to change survival expectations and the way patients live with cancer," said Michael Giordano, senior vice president, Head of Development, Oncology & Immunology, Bristol-Myers Squibb. "These are encouraging Phase 1 results from the expanded cohort of patients with lung cancer, the leading cause of cancer deaths globally, and we are seeking to confirm these early data in ongoing Phase 3 trials."
"Lung cancer is very difficult to treat and there continues to be a high unmet medical need for these patients, especially those who have received multiple treatments," added Dr. David Spigel, program director of Lung Cancer at Sarah Cannon Research Institute and Study 003 investigator. "With nivolumab, we are investigating an approach to treating lung cancer that is designed to work with the body's own immune system, and these are encouraging Phase 1 results that support further investigation in larger scale trials."
Study 003 Results
This analysis is reflective of 129 NSCLC patients, including both squamous and non-squamous histologies. All patients had at least one therapy prior to nivolumab and 54% received three or more therapies prior to nivolumab. Across dose cohorts, the one- and two-year survival rates were 42% and 24%, respectively, based on Kaplan-Meier estimates, and median overall survival (mOS) was 9.9 months. In all treated patients, the objective response rate (ORR) was 17%, as measured by RECIST criteria. An analysis of the 129 NSCLC patients in this study by select patient characteristics demonstrated that nivolumab had activity across a broad range of patients, including those with mutations in key signaling pathways in lung cancer such as EGFR and KRAS.
Data presented at the 2013 American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) annual meeting, with all patients having greater than or equal to one year of follow up, demonstrated a spectrum, frequency and severity of treatment-related adverse events (AEs) that were consistent with those initially reported in the study in 2012. As reported at ASCO 2013, common drug-related AEs included fatigue, decreased appetite, diarrhea, nausea, constipation, cough and dyspnea. Drug-related select AEs with potential immunologic etiologies, defined as adverse events that may require more frequent monitoring and/or unique intervention, included rash, diarrhea and pruritus.
About Study 003
Study 003 is a Phase 1 study (n=306) evaluating the safety, antitumor activity and pharmacokinetics of nivolumab in patients with NSCLC (n=129), advanced melanoma (n=107), renal cell carcinoma (n=34), castration-resistant prostate cancer (n=17) and colorectal cancer (n=19). Based on an amendment to the protocol, patients were followed-up for survival.
Eligible patients were administered nivolumab as an intravenous infusion every 2 weeks of each 8-week treatment cycle. Cohorts of three to six patients per dose level (0.1, 0.3, 1.0, 3.0 or 10 mg/kg) were enrolled sequentially. Patients continued treatment ≤2 years (maximum of 12 cycles; 4 doses per 8-week cycle), unless they experienced complete response, unacceptable toxicity, progressive disease or withdrew consent. In clinically stable patients, treatment could be continued beyond apparent initial disease progression until confirmed progression, as defined by proposed immune response criteria. Patients with stable disease or an ongoing objective response (OR) at the completion of treatment were followed for ≤1 year and offered retreatment for one additional year if their disease progressed. OR was defined as complete or partial response.
About Nivolumab
Cancer cells may exploit "regulator" pathways, such as checkpoint pathways, to hide from the immune system and shield the tumor against immune attack. Nivolumab is an investigational, fully-human IgG4 PD-1 immune checkpoint inhibitor that binds to the checkpoint receptor PD-1 (programmed death-1) expressed on activated T-cells. Nivolumab inhibits the binding of PD-1 with its tumor-expressed ligands, programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1/B7-H1) and PD-L2 (B7-DC). Blocking of the interaction of the PD-1 receptor with its ligands may allow T-cells to restore an anti-tumor immune response.
The development program for nivolumab consists of more than 25 studies – as monotherapy or in combination with other therapies – in multiple tumors types, including: NSCLC, small cell lung cancer, melanoma, renal cell carcinoma, hepatocellular carcinoma, hematological cancers, triple negative breast cancer, gastric cancer and pancreatic cancer. Among these are seven potentially registrational trials in NSCLC, melanoma and renal cell carcinoma.
About Lung Cancer
Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer deaths globally, resulting in more than 1.3 million deaths each year according the World Health Organization. NSCLC is one of the most common types of the disease and accounts for approximately 85 percent of cases.
About the Bristol-Myers Squibb and Ono Pharmaceutical Partnership
Bristol-Myers Squibb attained rights to nivolumab through its acquisition of Medarex in 2009. Through a collaboration agreement with Ono Pharmaceutical in 2011, Bristol-Myers Squibb expanded its territorial rights to develop and commercialize nivolumab (BMS-936558/ONO-4538) globally except in Japan, Korea and Taiwan where Ono has retained all rights to the compound.

Causeway: A message-oriented distributed debugger
Causeway, an open source distributed debugger written in E, lets you browse the causal graph of events in a distributed computation.
Causeway provides a post-mortem view, gathered from trace files written by the processes you wish to debug. The process-order view shows the full order of events recorded by each process. This gives a "follow the process" view common to conventional distributed debuggers. In the message-order view, we see an alternative "follow the conversation" outline view, in which each event expands to show the events it causes.
The screenshot below shows Causeway being used to debug an example Waterken/Joe-E application using eventual sends and promises.
Causeway presents several different views of the causal relations. The views are coordinated such that, selecting an item in one view causes corresponding selections in other views.
- Process-order View (top-left pane) This view lists events in chronological order, organized by vat. It's a tabbed view with one tab per vat. An entry in the process-order view is a 2-level subtree. The parent item represents an event; each nested item represents an eventual send that occurred during the parent event. In the screenshot, the selected item is the currently selected event in the message-order view. Synchronized selection between the process-order and message-order views is especially useful since, taken together, they convey the equivalent of spacetime diagrams.
- Message-order View (top-right pane) This view shows the order in which events caused other events by sending messages. This message order is reflected in the outline structure; nested events were caused by the parent event. When an event has multiple causes it is a joining event. A joining event appears directly under each of its causes and is marked with a right arrow icon. Each tree item represents a message target and is identified by a vat name and turn. The descriptive label depends on the information available in the trace record for the event and is one of the following.
- The "text" field string. This field is required for Comment records. It is optional for Sent, SentIf, and Resolved records.
- A single line of source code from the source file specified in the top stack entry.
- The source file name and function name specified in the top stack entry.
- Stack Explorer (bottom-left pane) As with sequential debugging, the question is often: How did we get here -- what chain of activations led to the current event? Causeway's stack explorer answers this question by looking back in time and presenting both eventual sends and immediate calls that led to the current event. An entry in the stack explorer is a 2-level subtree. The parent item represents an event; its nested items represent the stack trace captured for that event. In the screenshot, the top entry is the currently selected event in the message-order view. Subsequent entries are built by following the message graph back in time to sending events. An event having multiple causes has multiple paths but only the last cause is followed. Being the last in chronological order, it is expected to be the most useful for following the interesting causality.
- Source View (bottom-right pane) This view shows the source code for the currently selected item in the stack explorer and indicates the corresponding source span.
File>>Export... translates Causeway's message graph (DAG) to the DOT format and writes the dot file to a local disk. The dot file is a human-readable text file. It specifies a graph using the DOT language. GraphViz must be downloaded and installed to see the graph visualization. The graph below was generated for the Waterken application described above.
See Also
Our current development effort is to generalize Causeway to support asynchronous message-passing programs running on event loop-based platforms in general, not just E. Our initial focus has been on the Waterken server.
Debugging a Waterken application explains how to configure the Waterken server to emit the JSON debugging records understood by Causeway.

Carcar heritages
The Sta. Catalina church, the convent and the church records form part of the heritage of our town that needs our utmost care and preservation. And I mean the utmost care because we cannot repeat it too often that each volume in the church office is the only such copy in the whole world. Add to those the cemeteries where are buried our ancestors and among them our great men and women. The Spanish term for the cemetery, campo santo — holy ground -– thus, it may not exactly be the place even for JLo to get loud.
The roster of Carcaranon priests is also evidence of the town traditions that include the encouragement of vocation. I so worry that there had not been an attempt to even make a list of Carcaranon priests for posterity. Understandably, two or more towns or parishes may take possessive umbrage over a priest's origin but, hey, a priest can have his father's parish, and his mother's, where he was baptized, the family's more recent residence, and even where the parishes have been split up, and Carcar can share a priest as one of its own with five other parishes. Calling the Cebu Archdiocesan chancery!
I consider also as heritage the older chapel and their organizations in the town. The Catholic church in Carcar also owes its vibrancy not only on its truths but also to the traditions that the faithful through their chapels carry on annually, inculcate and then pass on to their children and grandchildren. A 1959 photograph of the Cogon chapel (San Vicente Ferrer) had a banner that read 1859-1959. That's a full centennial and thus may mean that the organization was formed even before work on the present church edifice.
The cofradia de San Jose (1883) of Luanluan is doing a magnificent job, carrying on the passing of tradition to its members. No one has told them this but those are heritage jobs they are heroically doing. The caro owner-families also, they have been paying their heritage dues.
South American accounts say the Spanish priests there were not too keen on the establishment of chapels, choosing to concentrate worship on the parish churches. Maybe it was more an administrative decision, or else it was based on the apprehension that chapels sprouting unsupervised also run the risk of sprouting all sorts of their own doctrines and superstitions.
I would venture to guess that our so-called barrio chapel organizations merely started as individual family devotions which spread through a neighborhood and the icon was borrowed or transferred from home to home, a veritable forerunner of the block rosary. And from there the organization was a natural offshoot, maybe during the American period already.
There are two religious congregations founded in Carcar: the Siervas de Nuestra Señora de la Paz and the Daughters of Santa Teresa (de Avila) in Valladolid, founded by Brother Ezequiel Barangan and Archbishop Teofilo Camomot, respectively. Incidentally a cause for sainthood has been advanced each for Barangan and for Camomot.
The Theotokos in Perrelos started from scratch around 1992. The scrounging was undertaken by Fr. John Roña. Marian devotion was celebrated every 13th of he month, and it snowballed when a "dancing" sun phenomenon was observed by hundreds of pilgrims celebrating early morning mass. It just happened that the phenomenon occurred for five times on the 13th and could be seen by everyone in the crowd. Everybody who was present witnessed the events. But some church leaders and priests who were not there scoffed off the phenomenon as more of mass hysteria — which explanation is less than scientific at all and, in effect, only exaggerates the gift for hypnosis of the priest, Fr. Roña, if he has it at all. Whatever, the archbishop then granted the site the title of archdiocesan shrine in 1996.
Rural communities still retain (I hope so) the religious practices that their grandparents handed down to them. But if no longer, I hope some heritage mapper from somewhere in the past had taken down the Passion and Christmas songs of these folks. I miss the pastores. And Souls' practices, still borrowing heavily on anito traditions. A video recording and notes-taking should be made of these rituals still going on. Perhaps we can then gain a little understanding why.

Google: Piper Explores Advertising's 'Botnet' Problem, Urges Action
- Order Reprints
- Print Article
Piper Jaffray's Gene Munster, who follows the shares of Google (GOOGL), among others, today reports on the attempts by the online world to deal with so-called suspicious traffic, which is skewing the true effectiveness of online advertising.
Based on data from firms including comScore (SCOR) and Solve Media, such suspicious traffic -- things such as Web "bot" software, programs that troll Web sites in an automated fashion, may comprise as much as half of all Web traffic, writes Munster:
The way the process works is that a nefarious person or groups of people create a small software program that web users unwittingly download (the bot). The bot could be included in email attachments, web downloads, etc. Once the bot is downloaded and the legitimate web user's computer is "infected," the program works in the background to use the resources of the host computer to perform specific tasks like visiting a specific website, potentially set up by the creator of the malicious bot software.
Munster writes that various parties, led by the Internet Advertising Bureau, have started to get a handle on the bot traffic, reducing its prevalence:
According to data from Integral Ad Science, the percentage of suspicious ad activity (vs. total traffic) was reduced on ad networks from 20% in 1H 2013 to 15%worldwide in 2H 2013 and from 20% to 13% on ad exchanges. We believe this suggests that despite the fact that suspicious traffic continues to grow, it appears that the policies and technologies that are being adopted by many members of the digital ad community are reducing the impact to actual ad budgets.
The estimates of the cost to advertisers of the fraudulent traffic varies widely:
Based on our discussions with industry professionals and media buyers in addition to publicly reported estimates, we have heard numbers as low as in the low hundreds of millions of dollars to over $10 billion [...] We note that the majority of industry sources we spoke with seemed comfortable that the problem was likely in the high hundreds of millions to low single digit billions in terms of potential size globally.
Between direct-response ads and branding ads, the latter are more vulnerable to wasteful traffic, opines Munster. Because it is paid for whether or not it i seen by a human. He therefore thinks the Web needs to further ameliorate fraudulent traffic in order to capture the continued waves of brand spending moving online:
Given our belief that branding dollars coming from other media (more print, TV) will provide the next leg of growth in digital spending, we believe reducing the bot impact on branded ad dollars should be the main focus of the digital ad industry. eMarketer expects branding focused online media to make up 48% of total online media in the US by 2017 from 42% in 2013. We believe that meaningfully addressing the bot problem will assist in the continued shift of brand dollars to online and also should significantly unite advertisers, publishers and exchanges in fixing the problem.
In addition to Google and the IAB, some smaller companies are trying to fix the suspicious traffic problem:
- OpenX offers advertisers and publishers an online ad platform that includes one of the largest independent ad exchanges. The company recently launched a new supply side platform (SSP) that merges network and RTB buyer into one platform for publishers to maximize the value of inventory regardless of the ad source. We note that OpenX also has a proprietary system to address fraudulent traffic that can automatically determine when bots instead of humans are behind an ad request. We note that given the exchange dynamic, it is important for OpenX to prevent ad requests from bots prior to the inventory auction because otherwise the company will have to pay the bot that generated the traffic even if an advertiser discovers via third-party tools or otherwise that the traffic was fraudulent.
- Rocket Fuel's artificial intelligence based RTB platform purchases ad inventory on exchanges optimized for advertiser campaigns. In addition to working with third-party vendors to address ad quality and fraud, the company also has its own inventory quality team that monitors impressions offered by exchanges. Rocket Fuel has previously noted that it throws away about a third of all bid requests on its system due to traffic quality issues that could include fraud or brand safety.
- Solve Media works with publishers to enhance their security experience and prevent bot traffic through a branded CAPTCHA-based ad solution. Solve Media's suite of TYPE-IN ads, which deliver 1,200% better brand recall than display ads, feature a brand message to be typed in by the user to proceed through a publisher's site in-lieu of a standard CAPTCHA form. As an example, Solve Media's solution would show a brand image or video and prompts the user to type in a branded message like "Das Auto" for a VW sponsored CAPTCHA. We believe Solve's solution is a unique offering to address the bot issue related to branded display, which we believe is the most important vertical for the industry to protect from bots as discussed previously.
Update: Google reached out via a representative to point out that the original version of this story's headline implied Google was at fault for advertising's botnet issues. In fact, as Google aptly notes, Munster is not critical of Google and rather thinks Google is to be commended for working on the problem. His call to action was a broad one for the industry. My apologies for any confusion.

(ARTICLE 19/IFEX) - 7 December 2011 - In solidarity with Zimbabwean civil society, ARTICLE 19 strongly condemns the arrest and continued detention of staff from the organisation Media Monitoring Project Zimbabwe.
Media Monitoring Project Zimbabwe (MMPZ) advocacy officers Molly Chimhanda and Fadzai December, together with MMPZ member Gilbert Mabusa, were arrested on 5 December 2011 in the city of Gwanda. Barely a day after their arrest, police officers from the Law and Order department in Harare visited the MMPZ offices with a search warrant, searched the office and detained MMPZ coordinator Andrew Moyse for questioning. Moyse was later released after hours of interrogation.
According to information released by the Media Alliance of Zimbabwe (MAZ), the trio arrested in Gwanda are being charged under Section 25(1)(b) of the Public Order and Security Act for allegedly, "participating in a gathering without seeking authority from the regulating authority" and for contravening section 37(1)(b) of the Criminal Law (Codification and Reform) Act, for allegedly "participating in a gathering with intent to promote public violence, breaches of the peace or bigotry."
Their arrest follows a meeting they facilitated on 24 November 2011 at which they distributed a film on DVD calling on the media to promote a peaceful electoral process. MAZ further states that the arrest of the three MMPZ staff should not be viewed in isolation but within an increasing crackdown on independent media organisations, which is aimed at insulating public officials from scrutiny and blocking unflattering information about their conduct from flowing into the public domain.
ARTICLE 19 calls for the immediate and unconditional release of the three MMPZ staff members.
ARTICLE 19 joins MAZ's calls for the repeal or extensive amendment of Zimbabwean laws that violate international standards on the rights to freedom of expression and information. These include the Public Order and Security Act, the Access to Information and Protection of Privacy Act, the Criminal law (Codification and Reform) Act, the Broadcasting Services Act, the Official Secrets Act and the Interception of Communications Act. We also call on the Zimbabwe Media Commission to step up and vigorously defend the right to freedom of expression and freedom of the media, especially as the country prepares itself for the upcoming general election.

The Eagle is an engaging, if straightforward and one-dimensional.
A rip-snorting adventure tale of the sort made before CGI, 3-D and alphabet soup in general took the fun out of moviegoing.
The story and setting may be ancient, but under the direction of Kevin Macdonald (The Last King of Scotland), and with a nicely textured screenplay by Macdonald's Scotland coscreenwriter Jeremy Brock, the vigor is fully modern.

Iffy for 13+
Roman action epic comes across as grim, violent, and dull.
What Parents Need to Know
Parents need to know that this honor-and-freedom-themed historical action/drama set during Rome's occupation of Southern Britain has lots of fighting and violence. There are battles with swords, blades, and bows and arrows, as well as some blood, strangling, a severed head, and dead animals. Characters tell stories of bloody, exhausting battles, and a man smacks a young boy across the face. Language is minor (words include "ass," "fart," and "pissing"), and there's a little drinking -- but no sexual content. Although characters begin to doubt the need for war, that doesn't stop their penchant for violence.
Messages: Although the heroes take on an "impossible" mission, bravely standing up against the odds (and, in the process, restoring a son's faith in his father), the results of the mission bring back a symbol of one country's dominance over another -- and to accomplish these goals, the heroes must engage in all kinds of violence.
Role models: Marcus fights for his father's honor and stands up against a crowd to rescue a slave. He and the slave become friends, despite the fact that they're from opposite sides of the war. Marcus is a violent hero, but he learns something about the terrible nature of war over the course of the film, and ultimately it appears that he's on the right track.
Violence: Several battles and lots of fighting, with swords, blades, and bows and arrows, and some blood on view. People are burned and beheaded (off screen); viewers do see a severed head. Characters are also strangled, beaten, and severely injured. Viewers see hanged corpses, and a character guts a wild boar. Characters tell stories of battles and killings, and the remains of a "killing field" littered with skulls and skeletons are shown. The heroes kill, skin, and eat a raw rat. A grown man smacks a young boy across the face.
Sex: Not an issue
Language: Language includes infrequent use of "fart," "pissing," "s--t," "damn," and "ass."
Consumerism: Not an issue
Drinking, drugs and smoking: The main character asks for wine before enduring a painful operation on his leg. Minor characters pass around what appears to be an alcoholic, hallucinogenic drink.

TIP OF THE DAY: Perming Extensions for Your Curly Haired Client
MODERN was invited to stop by a recent Zotos Professional photoshoot for the new packaging and support materials for the new perm TEXTURE EFX. Celebrity hairdresser Patrick Melville was putting the finishing touches on his model. Piled up on his station were pre-permed wefts that Melvilled used to add some ooomph to the look.
"This is such a great idea for all salons," says Melville. "Pre curled extensions are available, but they rarely match the clients curl exactly. This is just one more service to offer the client...giving totally personalized service." Melville acknowledges that even the word perm is dated. "When people think of perms they think of the past, but the market has changed a lot. Now we customize to blend in with the clients hair to add fullness or glamour."
Melville says it's important to select the proper perm for the weft. "I love the Texture EFX by Zotos Professional. It's innovative...not so aggressive. Clients today are quite aware of what they are putting on their hair. This is a bit more green."
This video offers Melville's overview of his perm approach where gives these tips to stylists thinking about offering the service to their clients:
-Wefts must be human hair.
- You must use high quality hair.
-It's best to sew in a clip so client has options to pin in and out (rather than bonding).
-It's important to teach the client how to care for the weft, including how to keep clean.

How many conversations have we had about affordable housing options around the state and Metro and, especially when foreclosures mushroomed, plus what to do about underwater mortgages when home values tanked?
And about all those unenforced efforts to create affordable housing options under Minnesota and Met Council policies, especially in suburban areas panicked over a surge in "those people" if affordable housing came to fruition?
And, then, the seemingly unstoppable flood of absentee property acquisition and ownership – and neglect – by landlords unwilling to maintain rental units and spawning the very creation of our inner city slums in what became a cycle of conditions that had institutionalized that neglect so that a century of poverty and exploitation became the norm in too many neighborhoods?
Then, the flood of well-intentioned quest for using homeownership as a tool to combat absentee neglect only to find subprime mortgages flourish and unscrupulous banks and mortgage brokers willing to throw buyers into houses they could ill-afford and into debt that took those properties away again, leaving them to fend in the streets.
And what about all those properties abandoned turning entire blocks into ballparks or prairie?
Did anyone mention community land trusts as a serious way of providing perpetually affordable land use options and affordable housing opportunities? If we did, it was in passing. No dwelling.
Monday morning, we'll dwell on the subject a good deal longer and learn much more about what on the surface seems like an sensible and underutilized option for cities, states and Metro areas feeling responsible for providing adequate and affordable shelter for their citizens.
We can start with this question: is housing or some form of shelter a right of societal or community membership? If so, why haven't we explored these options and supplied such shelter for all over the last 200 years around here – longer elsewhere?
What is a land trust, anyway? What and who started this concept? And why does it seem on the surface to make so much sense even for smaller communities within communities?
Of course, one must qualify and be willing to give up ownership of the land to own the house on it. We're a land-hungry breed, so this may be tough even for the poorest among us.
Lots of questions to answer.
But we'll do our best enlighten us all about this concept and its possibilities for all of our communities. TTT's ANDY DRISCOLL and MICHELLE ALIMORADI talk with at least one Community Land Trust executive and get our questions answered about the potential for– and the limitations of – community land trusts.

Ghost Amendment: The Thirteenth Amendment that Never Was
From the site:
When the 36th Congress adjourned on March 3, 1861, it was anyone's guess whether the United States would continue to exist as a single nation. In response to the election of Abraham Lincoln as president, seven Southern states had seceded. Four others would soon join them. As the candidate of the new Republican Party, Lincoln had championed the power of the federal government to exclude slavery from territories that were not yet states, a power that the slave states saw as a dagger aimed at the heart of their "peculiar institution."
Attempting to mollify the slave states, the lame-duck President James Buchanan (picture at right) asked Congress to propose an "explanatory amendment" (his words) to the Constitution which would explicitly recognize slaves as property and the right of slave-owners to keep their human property anywhere on American soil. Although this would do nothing more than restate existing law, as expressed in 1857 in the Supreme Court's explosive Dred Scott decision, a special House committee of 33 members under Representative Thomas Corwin of Ohio (picture below at left) dutifully, if unenthusiastically, set about drafting the proposed amendment, their numbers steadily depleted by the departure of Southern members whose states had seceded.
In a stunning feat of linguistic legerdemain, the Corwin committee delivered to the House floor a draft amendment to protect slavery that never mentioned the words "slave" or "slavery" at all! But then, neither did the original Constitution. Significantly, the proposed amendment did not address the burning issue of moment: the power of Congress to bar slavery from territories that were not yet states.
The amendment passed the House as Joint Resolution No. 80 on February 28 by a vote of 133 to 65, which was 2/3 of the members present. In the subsequent parliamentary wrangle over whether that met the Constitution's requirement of two-thirds of the House, opponents of the amendment lost. On March 2, the Senate acted in favor of the proposed amendment by a vote of 39 to 5, with anti-slavery Senator Benjamin F. Wade of Ohio attempting to derail it -- or at least to demonstrate his disgust for it -- by asking unanimous consent to vote first on a bill relating to guano deposits. When the final vote came, however, Wade supported the amendment.

Thank you for posting this excerpt from my "Ghost Amendment" web page. However, I did an injustice to Senator Benjamin Wade who, in fact, voted against HR 80 on third reading (Congressional Globe, March 2, 1865, p. 1403). Somehow I must have misread his vote on some other matter as a vote for the main resolution. The error has been corrected.

Ben Wade's vote wasn't the only thing I misread: The Congressional Globe report mentioned in my previous post was, of course, for March 2, 1861, not 1865, as I wrote it.

dapbot necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 181 diseños de 33 diseñadores freelance.
The premise of the site will be delivering a high quality, convenient and reliable service to customers at prices significantly below Recommended Retail Price.
The site will also have a great deal of added functionality - links to reviews at sites like 'gamerankings' and metacritics, capability to rate and review games, share with friends etc., transparency with regard to competitor pricing and much more...
Must be relatively broad. I want the design to be young and chic, but not to the extent that it would drive away older customers (eg parents buying games for their kids).
We have no existing designs, so you've got a lot of creative license here. Feel free to experiment with fonts, colours, and potentially incorporating shapes/symbols.
The only shapes/concepts I can think of incorporating are a) a robot (to go with dapbot concept) and b) a video game. But I'm more than happy for you to use neither or look for ideas outside of this (feel free to build ideas from the description of 'dapGames' above...)
I am looking for something relatively simple and elegant. I have attached some logos that I like the look of...
My only other note is: I don't want the logo to be TOO tied to the 'video games' idea - we need to give the business the opportunity to grow beyond selling just video games, and I don't want to constrain that. This means that:
1. The word 'games' in the logo should be able to be removed/replaced with something else (like 'store').
2. If the concept of a video game is included as a shape in the logo, it should be fairly abstract I think...
I will definitely try to give plenty of feedback as we go along so that we can refine what we are looking for.
Good luck!

NOW is the time to buy or sell a house!
The National Association of Realtors (NAR) isn't known for deep thinking. After all, this is the group that brought you David Lereah, America's very own Baghdad Bob on the topic of forecasting home values. But let's take a closer look at the idea that NOW is always the time to buy. After all, if now is not the time to buy, then now is the time to sell.
Turns out NAR has that one covered. They've got a list of the best places to buy and sell, NOW. And guess where is the time to sell NOW.
That's right. Where it's Special.
Asheville, NC Tops Best Places To Buy In 2013
Real Estate News | Feb 14, 2013 | By: Lexie Puckett | Realtor.com
The new year started on a positive note in January, with inventories at record lows and list prices holding steady on a year-over-year basis. Whether this shows a continuation of the nascent housing recovery into 2013 will depend on a variety of factors, including the strength of the overall economy, the cost and availability of mortgage credit, consumer expectations regarding future housing prices, and the success of continuing efforts to stem the flow of new foreclosures.
If inventories remain low — and if list prices begin to rise during the next few months, as they did last year — conditions are ripe for additional house price appreciation in 2013. However, such gains are likely to be concentrated in markets already well into their recovery process, such as California, Phoenix, Seattle, Washington, D.C., and many sand states. Markets in the older industrialized parts of the Midwest and the East will likely continue to struggle without a significant turnaround in their local economies. However, if inventories in these areas remain high, it could effectively set the stage for further declines in housing values in these local markets.
2013 Best Places to Buy and Sell
With two months remaining before the home-buying season opens, sellers have a huge advantage. In tight markets, such as the top five "Best Places to Sell," sellers benefit from better prices than they've seen in years. In our five "Best Places to Buy," buyers will find plentiful inventory and prices that haven't experienced the increases others have seen during the past year.
So wait, are they saying that there actually exist places where NOW is not the time to buy? Well… no, because they would never want to
prevent suckers from giving them money interfere with the free market. Also commissions.
Here are NAR's Top 5 Best Markets to Sell a House NOW. Except they didn't say NOW, but you KNOW it's THERE.
1. Sacramento. No, really. Inventory dropped even more than here where it really is Special, leading to price increases of (get ready to scream) 40%. You forgot to invest in Sacramento last year, didn't you?
2. San Jose. Prices are up 25% here and inventory isn't exactly generous. But unlike Sacramento, San Jose wasn't rebounding from a complete price collapse.
3. San Francisco. They're just copying us, and not as well.
4. Phoenix. See Sacramento. Inventory is down 16%, but so what? They simply make more land. What they can't manage to make more of here is water.
5. Washington, DC. "With a median price of $429,900, D.C. is one of the nation's priciest markets…" Right, NAR. You want to see what you can get here, where it's actually Special, for $430,000? This.

Hypertension – home monitoring
Your doctor may ask you to keep track of your blood pressure at home. To do this, you will need to get a good quality, well-fitting home blood pressure monitor.
There are two types of monitors you can use at home: a manual monitor, and an electronic or digital monitor. A digital monitor is a better option. It is very important that you have a monitor with a cuff that fits your arm (above the elbow). Make sure that the cuff is the right size (one size does not fit all).
Practice using the monitor with your doctor or nurse to make sure you are taking your blood pressure correctly.
Ask your doctor to show you how to use the monitor. Your arm should be supported, with your upper arm at heart level and feet on the floor (back supported, legs uncrossed).
It's best to measure your blood pressure after you rest for at least 5 minutes. Do not take your blood pressure when you are under stress, have had caffeine or used a tobacco product in the last 30 minutes, or have recently exercised.
See: Measuring blood pressure for steps to take when measuring your blood pressure.
Manual devices include a cuff that wraps around your arm, a rubber squeeze bulb, and a gauge that measures the blood pressure. A stethoscope is needed to listen to the blood pulsing through the artery.
You can see your blood pressure on the circular dial of the gauge as the needle moves around and the pressure in the cuff rises or falls.
When used correctly, manual devices are very accurate. However, they are not the recommended type of blood pressure monitor for home use.
A digital device will also have a cuff that wraps around your arm. To inflate the cuff, you may need to use a rubber squeeze ball, or simply push a button and the cuff will inflate by itself.
After the cuff is inflated, the pressure will slowly drop on its own. The screen will show a digital readout of your systolic and diastolic blood pressure.
After showing your blood pressure, the cuff will deflate on its own. With most machines, you must wait for 2 to 3 minutes before using it again.
A digital blood pressure monitor will not be as accurate if your body is moving when you are using it. Also, an irregular heart rate will make the reading less accurate. However, digital monitors are the best choice for most people.

(Reuters) - The Detroit Tigers traded Prince Fielder to the Texas Rangers in exchange for Ian Kinsler on Wednesday.
The Tigers are expected to give the Rangers $30 million as well to cover salary discrepancies.
The power-hitting Fielder has played the last two years in Detroit, and batted .279 with 25 home runs and 106 RBIs last season as the Tigers reached the American League Championship Series.
The Tigers lost in the World Series in 2012.
Kinsler had spent his entire eight-year career in Texas while becoming a fixture in the infield.
He hit .277 with 13 homers and 72 RBIs in 2013 but the Rangers failed to reach the playoffs for the first time since 2009.
Texas lost the World Series in 2010 and 2011.

Intel has been one of the mainstays of the SSD world and are one of the most trusted names and respected leaders in the computer industry. Their groundbreaking X25-M SSDs were the gold standard for which all other drives were judged for quite some time. That said, the SandForce SF-2281 controller has been out for close to a year now and featured in drives from just about every SSD manufacturer – so why is Intel just now releasing their SF-2281 SSD, code named Cherryville? In one word, firmware.
We aren't privy to all the detailed information, but suffice it to say that Intel thought they could improve upon the firmware in terms of reliability and performance. Especially after their faux pas with the 320 Series. As such, in conjunction with the folks at LSI/SandForce, they developed and performed an exhaustive amount of validation on their custom firmware before declaring it a finished product. To that extent, Intel has informed us that they are now the first and only 2.5″ SandForce drive manufacturer to have their drives ship with OEM computers which is a pretty big deal and an easy way to get a lot of drives out to consumers. So it makes sense that if OEM manufacturers are going to use these in their machines, they had better be rock solid reliable and not require iterations of firmware updates for fixes. Most OEM buyers are much less savvy than most of the people reading this article. Something like a firmware update both mystifies and scares them. To illustrate their commitment to quality, Intel directed us to an independent calculation of drive return rates which shows Intel's at a miniscule 0.1% with others hitting 5%-9%. One could question the validity of the data but that's not what we're here to do. Outside of accessing the sales/returns records from each manufacturer, there's no easy way to verify, so we'll go with the assumption that they're at least in the ballpark. So, using the philosophy it's better to be late and right than early and flawed, Cherryville is now here and we'll see just how well Intel did in their design using a pair of 240GB versions as test subjects.
The SATA III interfaced 520 Series has published specifications of 550MB/s reads and 520MB/s writes and up to 80,000 IOPS on 4K random writes as well as up to 50,000 IOPS 4K random reads. With available capacities of 60GB to 480GB and just about every stop in between, there's a suitable size for everyone. The initial pricing Intel passed to us shows the 60GB coming in at $149, 120GB at $229, 180GB at $369, 240GB at $509 and 480GB at $999. However, this was expressed in terms of 'volume pricing' (based on 1000 unit quantities) so expect prices to be a bit higher at launch. For the nervous types, all drives include a hefty 5-year warranty and Intel estimates a 1.2M hours of MTBF if writing 20GB worth of data a day and 2.5M hours MTBF for those writing 10GB/day.
Although some predicted the Cherryville drives would carry an Intel controller, we were told to expect to see the SandForce controller – although Intel has not ditched their own chip. Those that have been eagerly awaiting Intel's newest may not be sated by this release if they were expecting a home grown controller. We aren't allowed to disclose their road map and we weren't really given specific details of future releases but expect to see more drives from Intel later this year. How they will be configured is something we'll have to wait and see.
The 520 Series looks much the same as the 510 Series except for the decorative plastic ring around the perimeter of the top of the drive.

Included with the drive is a generous bundle in addition to the free software tools like the SSD toolbox and data migration tool. Each can be found on Intel's SSD page.

News Flash: The Seventh Street Bridge will reopen later than planned.
News Flash: The Seventh Street Bridge will reopen later than planned.
Originally scheduled for completion at the end of November, that date has been pushed back.
"The contractor is slightly behind schedule," PennDOT spokesman Ron Young said. "Weather permitting, they are pushing to have it open in mid-December."
Young blamed the delays on having pushed back the startup of the project by a week for a spring event in Stroudsburg. Bad weather also caused setbacks.
Crews are working on the bridge deck, roadway approaches and bridge parapets, which are the barriers on the deck to prevent vehicles from driving off the side.
"They need to finish the bridge deck, construct the roadway portions on either side of the bridge, place topsoil and seed, plant vegetation, install bridge lighting, install ornamental fencing, and other miscellaneous cleanup items."
The bridge was closed on June 14, 2011.
PennDOT said at the time that the replacement would take 18 months, with a projected completion date of Nov. 30, 2012.
The bridge had originally been scheduled to close May 24, 2011, which was then pushed back to June 7 to avoid conflicting with the Memorial Day weekend.
Its closing was pushed back a second time after Stroudsburg Borough officials expressed concerns about the bridge closing before the annual downtown NASCAR Festival on June 11, 2011.
The crumbling Stroudsburg bridge was selected for replacement because it was old and structurally deficient. The replacement bridge will cost $7.9 million.

A method astronomers have used for nearly 20 years to indirectly find planets orbiting other stars has for the first time been used to take the direct measure of an extrasolar planet itself.
The approach not only yields precise estimates of a planet's mass, a critical piece of information that can help determine a planet's bulk composition. It also can reveal its orbital inclination. And perhaps most important, it could allow astronomers to study atmospheres of more extrasolar planets than ever before.
The reason: The technique doesn't require a star to backlight a planet's atmosphere as the planet passes in front of its star. Until now, this kind of backlighting, during what's known as a transit, has provided the only window astronomers have had on the make-up of an extrasolar planet's atmosphere. And the number of transiting planets so far is only about one-third the number of planets discovered by two international teams of astronomers who used this approach and whose findings are published this month.
The orb the teams observed, known as tau Bootis b, was discovered in 1996 by a group led by astronomer Geoffrey Marcy at the University of California at Berkeley. It orbits a star nearly 51 light-years from Earth in the Northern-Hemisphere constellation Bootes.
Marcy's team found tau Bootis b via the slight wobble it imparted to its host star's spectrum as it orbits. As the planet swings around its star and its gravity tugs the star away from the viewer, it slides the star's bar-code-like chemical signature toward the red end of the spectrum. As the planet continues its orbit and tugs the star toward the viewer, the spectrum shifts toward the blue end. Over multiple orbits, the star's spectrum "wobbles" from blue to red and back.
The idea to use this approach to detect a planet directly is an old one, notes Simon Albrecht, an astronomer at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Cambridge, Mass., and a member of one of the two teams. His group was led by Matteo Brogi with the Leiden Observatory in the Netherlands. The other team was led by Florian Rodler, with the Institute of Space Science in Barcelona.
All it needed was the right combination of technology and a target close enough and bright enough to pursue. Tau Bootis b fit the latter requirement. For hardware, both teams used a new, exquisitely sensitive near-infrared spectrometer bolted to the back end of one of four eight-meter telescopes that make up the Very Large Telescope array. The facility, run by the European Southern Observatory, is located on a mountaintop in the Atacama Desert of northern Chile.
Hunting for the tell-tale signs of chemicals that are revealed as the star's light interacts with the atmosphere, the teams found that the planet's atmosphere appears to be dominated by carbon monoxide. The spectrometer revealed carbon monoxide's spectral bar code with enough precision to uncover the spectrum's wobble as the planet orbits. From the magnitude of the wobble, the teams calculated the planet's so-called radial velocity – the pace at which it appears to move back and forth. Both teams had a good handle on the star's mass. Knowing the radial velocity for the planet and the star, and knowing the star's mass, the team estimated the planet's mass with math a junior high-school student would recognize.
Dr. Rodler's team found that tau Bootis b tipped the scales at 5.6 times Jupiter's mass. Dr. Brogi's team's estimate yielded 5.95 times Jupiter's mass. One reason for the discrepancy might be traced to the amount of telescope time each team received – 18 hours for Brogi's team versus six hours for Rodler's group. Typically, the more time the spectrometer has to build up the data, the more precise the measurement.
In addition to using the radial-velocity technique to derive mass with a precision once the province of the transit approach, Brogi's team also used the spectra to build a picture of changes in the atmosphere's temperature with height.
Observations of a handful of other extrasolar planet atmospheres with the Spitzer Space Telescope have shown that temperatures are hottest at the top of the atmospheres of so-called hot Jupiters – gas giants orbiting very close to their host stars.
Tau Bootis b, which orbits its star once every 3.3 days, seems to be an oddball. Brogi's team's analysis suggests no such heating at the top of the atmosphere. Theorists have suggested this could happen if the planet is orbiting a star prone to frequent energetic outbursts. Frequent exposure to increased levels of high-energy radiation from the star could strip away heat-absorbing elements, including titanium oxide, from the top layers of a planet's atmosphere.
Tau Bootis, at roughly 1.3 times the mass of the sun, seems to be one such active star.
Brigi's team's data also yielded an inclination to the planet's orbit – something that has been a subject of debate. The answer: 44.5 degrees off an imaginary line padding through the star's equator.
The team's efforts collectively represent "a great result," says Dimitar Sasselov, a researcher studying extrasolar planets at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics in Cambridge, Mass.
"The success of the CO technique, from the ground no less, is a welcome addition to our exoplanet study toolbox," he says. "Tau Bootis b has always been somewhat of an odd beast. I think it tells us something about the secret lives of super-massive planets."
Brogi's team's results are set for publication in Thursday's issue of the journal Nature. Rodler's team's work was published June 18 in Astrophysical Journal Letters.

You could instead take the view that these delightful little comics - sadly, uncredited - take. It's all cool! Everyone's friends! Everyone's friends, and everything's great.

Mayor's Office
Mayor Chris Beutler today presented the Mayor's Award of Excellence for January to Dan King of the Lincoln-Lancaster County Health Department. The monthly award recognizes City employees who consistently provide exemplary service and work that demonstrates personal commitment to the City. The award was presented at the beginning of today's City Council meeting.
King has worked as an Environmental Health Specialist for the City since 2006. Senior Health Educator Renae Rief nominated him in the categories of customer relations and productivity for his successful management of the Household Hazardous Waste program and for his work on the department's Employee Relations Committee.
King coordinates the Household Hazardous Waste collections and helps educate the public about reducing toxicity. He developed the Safe Homes for Seniors project with Lincoln Aging Partners to help the elderly manage hazardous household chemicals and products. He works with EcoStores Nebraska to help manage unwanted latex paint and to offer an outlet for the community to pick up reusable paint. He also developed training on paint management for hardware store employees along with an in-store education kit for consumers.
King was the primary organizer of the Nebraska MEDS coalition, which educates the public about the safe disposal of medications. He is involved with the Earth Wellness festival, the Environmental Leadership Awards, and the Emergency Response team. He was recently elected president of the Heartland Chapter of the North American Hazardous Materials Management Association. As a member of the Health Department's Employee Relations Committee, he came up with the idea of distributing trees to Department employees to celebrate Arbor Day.
Rief said King is patient, thorough and helpful in dealing with calls from the community and contact with business owners. "Dan is a strong advocate for the protection of our environment and is passionate that our health is truly affected by how we maintain our resources," she wrote.
The other categories in which employees can be nominated are loss prevention, safety and valor. Consideration also may be given to nominations that demonstrate self-initiated accomplishments or those completed outside of the nominee's job description. All City employees are eligible for the Mayor's Award of Excellence except for elected and appointed officials. Individuals or teams can be nominated by supervisors, peers, subordinates and the general public. Nomination forms are available at lincoln.ne.gov (keyword: personnel) or from department heads, employee bulletin boards or the Personnel Department, which oversees the awards program.
All nominations are reviewed by the Mayor's Award of Excellence Committee, which includes a representative with each union and a non-union representative appointed by the Mayor. Award winners receive a $100 U.S. savings bond, a day off with pay and a plaque. Monthly winners are eligible to receive the annual award, which comes with a $500 U.S. savings bond, two days off with pay and a plaque.

The folks at the Essick Gallery are happy to say that "Hummer," Dempsey Essick's outdoor hummingbird sculpture, has returned home.
Hummer was dismantled recently and taken to the factory for fresh paint. He was sorely missed as there were numerous calls and emails inquiring about his absence. After the face lift, the 14-foot sculpture is looking better than ever. And if you love hummingbirds, be sure to see Essick's 2014 wall calendar titled "Just Hummingbirds."
