UNDATED (WXPR-WSAU) - Many outdoor activities in Wisconsin this weekend are 'free'...as the state is hosting a weekend where charges don't apply in many places, and no fishing license is needed.
Wisconsin residents and visitors can fish, hike, bike state trails for free, and ride public ATV trails at no charge. On Sunday, June 2 only, they can enjoy free admission to state parks and forests.
DNR aquatic education coordinator Theresa Stabo says this is the weekend to get outdoors. "We have a number of events at state parks and different local parks. These events are being put on by our friends in the fishing community whether they are park staff or fishing club members, we have a lot of opportunities for people who have never been fishing before to give it a try."
Dozens of free fishing clinics are scheduled over the two-day weekend, some of them at state parks and others sponsored by conservation groups, civic groups, or local parks and recreation departments. Most of the fishing clinics will provide the fishing equipment instruction and bait necessary.
A new interactive map helps guide people to dozens of easy trails or trail segments suitable for families with young children and for those looking for shorter, flatter trails. More information is on the DNR website.
Cops and Bobbers is one program offered to get kids out fishing during the free weekend. This event is coordinated through the Portage County Sheriff's Department. Activities start at Bukolt Park at 9:00 a.m. Saturday.
In Marathon County, children 5 and up are welcome to activities at D.C. Everest Park on Lake Wausau Saturday and Sunday, courtesy of the Wausau & Marathon County Public Park Systems.
The Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest is also "Kids Fishing Day" events on Saturday, June 1st.
The Lost Lake Campground in Florence County will have an event from noon to 4:00 p.m. . Families are encouraged to bring a small row boat, canoe, or kayak.

Another way of looking at Bruce Springsteen
When Peter Ames Carlin learned that Bruce Springsteen was willing to sit down with him for the Boss biography that he was writing, the author had to keep himself in check. Yes, this was the first time that Springsteen would be cooperating with a biographer in 25 years, and yes, this was the man who had helped inform his world vision, but Carlin had a warts-and-all book to write.
"The fan boy in me had been locked in a cage long before I got to meet Bruce," says the author. "When I met him, it was super-intense, but for me, the thing that mattered at that point was that I was working on this book and this could conceivably be the difference between it being an extraordinary book and being another book about Bruce Springsteen."
The book, simply titled "Bruce" does arguably achieve the distinction that he was hoping for. Through intimate interviews with family members and band members past and present, Carlin unearths previously unpublished anecdotes about his subject's childhood (as a little kid, Springsteen kept the same nocturnal rock star hours he does now), about his early rocking years (one of Springsteen's bands honored a commitment at a small New Jersey club rather than accepting an invitation to play Woodstock in 1969) and his family struggles with mental illness.
"A big part of how this book advances the story is being very up front about how his dad was manic depressive; he had a serious untreated mental illness for his entire adult life," says Carlin. "We were talking later about depression or something and I said to him, 'Bruce, you said something to me that made me wonder, and it seemed like you were telling me that you take antidepressants. Am I correct?' and he said, 'Yeah.' And I said, 'How would you feel about me putting that in the book?' and he was silent for a second and then he said, 'Yeah, that's OK.'"
The man that emerges from the 474 pages of "Bruce" is alternately a controlling boyfriend, a driven bandleader, a junk food junkie and an artist who is constantly challenging himself.
"He works really hard at being a good man and doesn't always live up to his own expectations of himself," says Carlin. "It felt very important to me to report stories I had heard about him being a dick. And I watched him have a temper tantrum on stage, at a soundcheck, furious at a guy who wasn't even at work yet."
Even though Carlin unveils these imperfections and his inner fan boy is securely locked up throughout the narrative, he says his respect for Springsteen's artistic vision is unwavering.
"He's so smart, so sensitive and so unafraid to dive into the darkness and mourn the horrors of the world, but also maintains that belief in possibility," he says.
Carlin was not the only one who learned a lot about Bruce Springsteen during this three-year writing process.
"He told me later, after he read the book, that part of what he valued about it was that he was reminded of how special the people in his life were," says Carlin.
Keep pushin' 'til it's understood
Photographer Eric Meola, best known for capturing Springsteen and late E Street Band sax legend Clarence Clemons on the iconic cover of "Born to Run," has also recently released a new book on the Boss.
The book, "Streets of Fire: Bruce Springsteen in Photographs and Lyrics 1977-1979" is another rare glimpse of an artist who is constantly evolving. Many of the shots were taken at the sparsely decorated farmhouse Springsteen rented after "Born to Run" made him a star. The shots almost look like demo versions of the cover of "Darkness on the Edge of Town," which came out in 1978.
"Every time we would get together, we would end up doing something very different from the time before," says Meola. "He would stand in attic alcoves with light coming in and creating beautiful shadows and I started to realize that the emptiness of the house reflected a lot of the loneliness and despair that was going on in the music."

Man Found Dead in Ravine off Interstate 5 [1]
A man and his dog were found dead in a ravine off Lake Hughes Road near Interstate 5 in Castaic. The 59-year-old Lake Elizabeth Man was most likely on his way to work in Canoga Park on Monday, when, for unknown reasons, his vehicle veered off Lake Hughes Road and Slid down a 200-foor ravine, said California Highway Patrol Officer Wendy Hahn. The man's name is being withheld until his next of kin can be notified. The man's co-workers began looking for him Tuesday when he did not show up for work two days in a row. The co-workers, who work for the city of Los Angeles, tracked the man's normal route. "They stopped every 100 feet to look for him," Hahn said. Around 3 p.m. the group saw the man's white dog dead in the ravine off of Lake Hughes Road. The co-workers could not see the man or his car from the road. Members of the Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff's Station, Los Angeles County Fire Department and CHP were called to the scene. A short time later the man was found dead. His vehicle had slid about 200 feet down the side of the ravine, requiring the fire department's search and rescue team to retrieve the man's body and his dog – both had been ejected from the vehicle. "There is no evidence of what happened," Hahn said. "It probably happened at 5 a.m. Monday." The death is under investigation and officials are awaiting the results of an autopsy to determine a cause of death.

By Cecil G. Brumley
With the hospitality industry continuing to show improvement in September in Volusia County, it appears tourism and business travel is finally on its way back up.
The long decline began in March 2008, before coming to a halt last year. In September, countywide bed tax collections for support of the conventions business, including the Ocean Center, were at $346,002, up 9.43 percent from $316,187 in September 2011. Looking at the bed tax collections for the three tourism promotion agencies, the Halifax area was up 9.78 percent and Southeast Volusia was up 12.81 percent. West Volusia was down 3.7 percent.
The county still has a way to go before getting back to its peak in February 2008, but at least there are signs continued improvement is on the way in 2013. Improvements already have been made in several properties along the beachside in the Halifax area and if Avista Hotels gets a Hyatt Place and Residence Inn by Marriott open soon in Daytona Beach Shores, then that should help with next year. In 2014, the pace could quicken if plans for two big new resorts in Daytona Beach go through.
Last month, I was taken to task by some hospitality industry folks for saying the tourism promotion folks need to remind people that Daytona Beach is a cheap place to visit. I stand by my statement, but with a little more explanation. At a high-end place like the Shores Resort & Spa, rated four stars by Hotels.com, you can get a room in December for $114 to $239 a night (depending on whether you get riverview or oceanview with a balcony). For the Delano, another four-star rated place by Hotels.com, in Miami Beach, you'd pay $379 to $529. While Miami Beach may be a little warmer in December, I would argue that it's not $200 a night warmer.
Of course, for the management of the Shores Resort & Spa, it's not easy to maintain its high-rating with such low rates. Still, it's something the tourism promotion folks can use to bring more tourists and business travelers to the area, which, in the end, could help the Shores raise its rates.
While downtown Beach Street in Daytona Beach still needs a lot of work, at least there continues to be interest in the area from entrepreneurs. Anne M. Sammartino wants to open the White House restaurant at 116 N. Beach St. That's a stretch of the street that could use some businesses. Some of you might recognize the address as the former Love Bar. The former Sick Boys Lounge at 200 N. Beach St., an address that has seen a lot of different businesses, could become La Tosca Cafe.

Filings from 15 states to secede from the United states
Folks from 15 states have filed petitions to secede from the United States and one person from North Dakota has filed for New York state to secede. Petitions required 25,000 signatures and are then forwarded to the President for consideration.
I would hope that this is mostly symbolic but it does show that there are some hard feelings about the direction the US has taken.
One of the questions involved with the petitions is that if you signed it will you be on a federal watch list as a subversive. Certainly a valid question. Time will tell.
Another question is, this is a pretty strong hint that not everyone is happy ... will the message be heard?
What do you think of this jesture.
Showing single comment thread. View the full conversation.
Nov 12 2012: I think the fact that roughly half the population is unhappy with the results of the election, given the way the popular vote came out, was a pretty strong hint already that "not everyone is happy." When the popular vote is very close, winning cannot be interpreted as a mandate from the entire population.
I don't think filing petitions to secede is a great use of energy.

You never know where you'll go or what you'll come across on a Triumph Adventure bike.
It's not about what we've added to these iconic classic motorcycles over the years. It's about what we haven't taken away.
To the onlooker, Triumph Cruisers could be mistaken for being just about pure classic cruiser style.
The approach to our roadsters is simple. If it doesn't enhance the power, handling, feel or sound of the bike it doesn't go on it.
Lives on the road but was born for the track.
You know the feeling when you just want to keep riding and riding and riding?

We took the most famous name in motorcycling and gave it some extra 60s style.
Still distinctly a Bonneville with it's smooth pulling, fuel injected 865cc parallel twin. We've added some visual tweaks like twin peashooter exhausts, chrome engine covers, black instrument surround with tacho, a Triumph logo on the seat, two-tone paint, spoked wheels and fork gaiters.
So, it still looks, sounds and feels like a proper motorcycle should. And it still connects you to over 50 years of heritage but is built with everything that comes with modern engineering too.
Two tone paint work complete with hand painted coach lines adorn the T100.
The iconic, air-cooled parallel twin sits proudly at the heart of the Bonneville T100. Setting the style for the entire bike.
Twin peashooter exhaust pipes give this bike extra 60s style.
Classic spoke wheels for great looks and easy handling.
Different in style from the standard Bonneville, we've created the 60s look with smooth topped seat with white piping.
A chromed tank badge confirms the T100's authenticity.
From day one Bonnevilles have been built to be ridden, not just to look good. Today, this 865cc parallel twin puts out a healthy 68PS with 68Nm of torque at its peak, with plenty available at low revs so you get most use out of it.
The fuelling is controlled by a sophisticated management computer programmed for clean emissions and a smooth, predictable throttle response. So there's enough performance to be fun for experienced riders but not so much that will intimidate riders with fewer miles behind them.
A pair of cylinders still stand upright and proud at the heart of the Bonneville T100. With a wide bore and short stroke that adds up to 865cc for high levels of efficiency and low wear, with four valves per cylinder for the best breathing and power. There are balance shafts tucked away inside the crankcase so you'll notice very little vibration for a parallel twin and, being air cooled, there's no radiator to spoil the view.
Today's Bonneville T100 is clean and efficient as well as responsive and strong. At a steady 56mph you can expect 68mpg and around town you'll still get 51mpg.
All of our extensive chassis experience and technology has gone into the Bonneville T100's simple tubular steel construction. Providing easy, neutral steering and exceptional balance even at low speeds.
Looking good whilst working hard isn't easy. But the 1960s style twin shocks fitted at the back come with a chrome finish and modern damping internals. As do the traditional-looking forks. And that makes the ride of your Bonneville T100 smooth and controlled, even on bumpy roads and cornering at speed.
We've given the T100 a single disc brake at the front for a strong, progressive feel and a second disc for the rear for plenty of stopping force whilst maintaining the overall balance of the chassis so every moment of your ride is confident and controlled.
We've built a traditional style tubular steel cradle design and included the engine as an integral component for a stiffer, stronger chassis and more precise ride. Combining classic looks with modern engineering so that you get iconic Bonneville riding characteristics and modern handling.
Like all modern Bonnevilles, the T100 is a bike for riders new to big bikes and also those riders who are into classic styling. The long flat seat suits riders of all heights and we've laid out the bars and footrests to create plenty of space so you won't feel cramped even on a long ride out.
It's all put together so that you feel natural and in firm, confident control around town, at speed on a motorway or feeling the thrill of your Bonneville T100 along a sinuous back road.
A seat height of just 775mm is the best way to get the classic, natural Bonneville riding position. So that's the height we set it at.
Our confidence provides you with a two-year unlimited mileage warranty on your new Triumph and Genuine Accessories. Alongside the knowledge that we give you a 12 month unlimited mileage warranty on replacement parts.
The Bonneville T100 carries 6,000 mile (10,000km) service intervals.

Sheldon Bar Height Bar Stool (30"H seat) 4 4
Beautiful barstools! We purchased five of these stools for our lake house and we are very pleased! They are very well constructed, very solid and comfortable. We are very happy with these beautiful bars tools.....thank you Frontgate! June 1, 2014
Poor Quality Purchased two stools expensive. Less than a month later one of the stools has a crack in the front left hand corner below the armrest. Then one of my guests steped on the side foot rests and it broke. She weighs 130lbs, return shipping both ways is also expensive. December 11, 2013
Looks great but does not work well We ordered two of these beautiful bar stools for our vacation condo. Was counting on well made chairs since ordering from Frontgate, but although they look beautiful, they don't work well. Day one, The swivel mechanism was inferior and the chair rubs against the base so there is not a smooth swivel. Disappointed in quality. September 12, 2012
Love this stool. Top Quality and gorgeous This is one of the nicest stools Frontgate has put out. Love the seagrass back and rustic yet classic design. Doesn't get any better. July 22, 2012

One of the reviews states that the swivel mechanism is not up to frontgate standards. I would like to know more about the quality of the swivel mechanism and who bears the cost of returning if there is a problem with that. I love the chair appearance, but have never had to return any product from Frontgate due to the excellent quality of your goods. The review does make me hesitate to order.

The Village Square
Happy New Year everybody!
We had 11 new homes built in the Village in 2012, and 16 house additions, which included seven decks. This was twice as many additions than last year and about same number of new construction. We built half a dozen garages and sheds and four fences (remember the good side faces your neighbor!). Jamestown Tavern put in an outdoor expansion and Bay Point built a new store. There were two Waterfront Development permits and the Planning Commission ruled on seven new cases at public hearings, including two subdivisions representing six new buildable lots. The Planning Commission also held several informal meetings with local developers for upcoming projects.
In addition to being the Zoning Administrator, I am also the Secretary for the Planning Commission. The Planning Commission consists of three citizen members and two members from the village administration (five total). The citizen members are Hal Clagg as the Chair, Terry Glovinsky as the Vice Chair and member Corky Zembala. The members representing the Village are Mayor Jackie Bird and Councilwoman Vickie Kozak. These great people all spend a lot of time and effort to monitor the growth of the Village while still balancing on that tightrope of serving those who want to expand the use of their properties and those who want things to be as undeveloped as possible. As a resident of the Village, no matter which way you think, I would encourage you to let these members know that you appreciate their efforts. If you do not know their individual contact information, you can send messages to the numbers below and I will make sure they get the messages.

This is Brandon - 2013
My Dear Friends,
Here we are in the wake of the release of my 4th album, "13 Satellites", and I can't say I've ever been more excited about making music.
This year I celebrate my 12th anniversary in Los Angeles. 4 full-length albums, 3 digital singles, 3 kids, 3 homes, and one life threatening illness. And so I suppose it's no surprise I still haven't paid off my student loans. Such is life...
What would I love for you to know about me in 2013? Well, after everything that's happened in this City of Angels these past few years (my stage three cancer diagnosis and treatment, a 2nd chance, and oh - yeah, a DAUGHTER!), I'm learning to love the craft and joy of music again. I truly appreciate my friends, family and creative collaborations more than ever, and my music has never felt so playful - spirited - and dare I say, JOYFUL in it's creation. I think I'm learning to see the world - the music business - life - production - art - all with a childlike innocence again. And it feels good. To quote a new song of mine, this journey has truly come FULL CIRCLE ROUND...
Speaking of FULL CIRCLE ROUND, let's discuss the new record a bit shall we? "13 SATELLITES" was born as a cross-continental collaboration with my good friend and drummer extraordinaire Billy Hawn (he in Pennsylvania - me in Glendale, CA) during the spring of 2010 - and also features tracks flown in from Portland (Oregon), Manchester (New Hampshire) and the not-quite-as-far-away Burbank (California) where my longtime collaborator Jason Wormer mixed and mastered the record into a warm, deep groove. A true satellite project, for sure. :) It's also the first I recorded and arranged at home on my own rig, and is by far my most lush record yet. Think T-Bone Burnett meets the Beatles meets the Beach Boys meets...well, me of course and you're in the wheelhouse :)
What also makes "13 Satellites" different is how PLAYFUL it all is, a side of my musical personality I've only ever hinted at in the past – definitely feels like the start of a new chapter, both in life and in art. When this project began it's journey into the world my wife was pregnant - we were moving out of the home we shared for half a dozen years, and I was still driven by a wave of gratitude and inspiration from everything that had transpired over the previous three years (see above). This music became a joyful sanctuary for me - a celebration of all we had gone through as a family, and a childlike wonder at all that could still be.
Anyway, there's plenty more to read in the various pages on this site, as well as my various online communities (Facebook, Twitter, etc), and I'm truly humbled if you would do so. But to summarize (for now), let me now quote the very first bio I ever put up on my first website some eight or nine years ago:
"Bottom line: I love writing, recording, and playing music and I look forward to sharing every bit of this journey with you. This is only the beginning, friends."
Full Circle Round indeed.
All my love. Seriously.

"They loved to play outside. I bought them a ball and it's still in the house. Every time I look at that ball I think of them, and I have to walk away from it," said Huey.
" I liked chasing them around. I was like a big kid with them," said McBeth.
She added, people often forget in times like this, that fathers cry too.
"Rickie was a really good dad...It's hard. We miss our babies, those were our babies too, and nobody recognizes that," said McBeth.
McBeth and Huey are relying on each other to make it through the difficult time. She says Huey, who is looking for work in Findlay, has had to put his search on hold as he works to pull himself together and stay strong.

We moved to a farm and lots of "fox tail weeds" are included. Our dog will often eat grass and in an attempt to keep here out of the weeds, we tried the Barkster Alfalfa Treats to satisfy her grass needs. I am happy to say it has worked as she rarely wanders into the weeds. (Posted on 4/24/14)

As Takeover Looms, is This Company Worth a Shot?
Meena is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
Sirius XM Radio (NASDAQ: SIRI) is up over 100% since the two satellite companies merged, Sirius and XM. With the stock up so much, is it really a good time to buy in? We think so. Sirius' last quarter results broke records with respect to subscriber additions, where Sirius' subscriber base was up 10% year over year. The pre-announcement of 3Q results showed that net subscriber additions came in 100,000 above estimates, at 446,000 subscribers.
Sirius trades below $3 a share, but has attracted notable investor Steven Cohen. Cohen and his firm SAC Capital took a serious interest in Sirius during 1Q when it upped its stake to almost 100 million shares. In 2Q Cohen added 14% to his position and now owns over 114 million shares—around 3% of Sirius' outstanding shares. Other notable investors that each owned over 60 million shares at the end of June were John Griffin and Philippe Laffont—see all funds owning Sirius.
The biggest competitor to Sirius of late is Pandora Media (NYSE: P). Sirius is estimated to own around 70% of the market for auto music services, with Pandora being its stiffest competition for this segment. Pandora went public in mid-2011 but is since down over 30%. The company has seen less than stellar execution on advertising monetization, as well as a slew of competition coming to market. In the last month alone, both Facebook and Microsoft announced music services, not to mention the up-and-coming startup Spotify, which is considered the leader in the streaming music market. As well, there is speculation that Apple may license music for a custom radio service akin to Pandora's.
Sirius should be safe from the recent music services announced by Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT) and Facebook (NASDAQ: FB). For one, Microsoft's Xbox Music service will only be available on Microsoft platforms, while Facebook Music will not be a standalone service, but will rely on partnerships with other streaming services. Both of these features will be big hits for their respective companies, but we do not see any overlap into Sirius' market. We appreciate Sirius' singular focus on perfecting its satellite services and embracing its niche in the auto industry.
On the other hand, Facebook is struggling with monetization and may struggle to reach revenue growth targets. As a result, the company is attempting to add various features that might help make the company money. We see Facebook having enough initiatives that it isn't worried about Sirius. The same goes for Microsoft, which has a gambit of operations that range from mobile, social networking, computers, gaming systems and tablets.
In addition to battling other competitors, Sirius is also fighting a takeover from Liberty Media (NASDAQ: STRZA). Liberty owns interests in a variety of companies in the media industry, including Live Nation Entertainment. The company also took a 17% stake in Barnes & Noble back in late 2011. The takeover bid from Liberty includes an ongoing application to the FCC to take a more than 50% stake in Sirius, where the company currently owns just around 49.6%.
Worth noting is that as Liberty seeks to increase its share ownership; the company's CEO has been downsizing his position quite noticeably. We generally take such consistent insider selling activity as a bearish sign, but in this case the uncertainty of the Liberty takeover and company fundamentals outweigh our concerns—especially since corporate governance may be a top focus of Liberty should they gain majority control.
Earlier this year Sirius upped their prices, which has resulted in higher average revenue per user numbers. Even amidst the price hike, the company's churn rate has remained relatively in-line. Sirius revised subscriber targets upward and the company is expected to add 1.9 million and 1.7 million net subscribers in 2012 and 2013, respectively. The primary driver for the increase in subscriber base will be auto sales. We believe that auto sales will be strong as a rebound in the economy looks to be a possibility in the coming years. The big overhanging issue for the company remains to be Liberty Media's appeal to take de facto control of the company.
However, it appears that Liberty will ultimately gain effective control of the company; the question becomes what will the impact for Sirius be? The comments from Liberty suggest a change of corporate governance and capital allocation. Based on strong fundamental growth and accounting for the near term uncertainly of the Liberty takeover, S&P placed a $3 price target on the company, versus its current stock price of around $2.80. We believe once the Liberty Media saga is finalized, the stock will have a more defined direction -- a direction that we believe will provide a boost to the stock price. The Liberty overhang is keeping the stock down and preventing the market from accounting for the potential uptick in auto sales and an increased subscriber base.
Know What You Own
Despite being one of the market's biggest winners since bottoming out three years ago, there is still some healthy upside to be had if things go right for Sirius XM -- and plenty of room to fall if things don't.

Biomarkers of Lupus Disease: Serial Biomarker Sampling in Patients With Active Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) (BOLD)
Recruitment status was Recruiting
- Full Text View
- Tabular View
- No Study Results Posted
- Disclaimer
- How to Read a Study Record
Hypothesis: A reason for repeated disappointing outcomes of clinical trials testing targeted immune biologics for lupus may be the heterogeneity of the disease, exacerbated by the variable effects on immune homeostasis of the background medications that must be continued, in most study designs, in these flare-prone patients.
Purpose of Study: This study will purposefully study a population equivalent to the placebo group of typical trials in SLE. Patients will enter the trial in mild-moderate flare, be treated with depomedrol, and background treatments will be withdrawn. Biomarkers at entry on various medications will be compared to biomarkers after steroid efficacy with background medications withdrawn. Depomedrol usually slowly wears off over one to three months. Patients will be closely observed, with serial biomarkers drawn at monthly intervals or, immediately at the time of a new flare. Those patients who do develop new flares during the course of the next year (maximal participation time) will donate blood samples for biomarkers (flaring on tapering or absent depomedrol effect) and will then be immediately treated as deemed appropriate, exiting the study. The study will end when 50 patients have met this endpoint. A control population of matched, healthy individuals will donate blood once for the same biomarker studies.
Systemic Lupus Erythematosus
Drug: Depomedrol
Other: Blood drawing only
Drug: Methotrexate and depomedrol
Drug: Mycophenolate mofetil and depomedrol
|Study Type:
|Study Design:
|Allocation: Non-Randomized
Intervention Model: Single Group Assignment
Masking: Open Label
Primary Purpose: Diagnostic
|Official Title:
|Biomarkers of Lupus Disease: Study of Biomarker Changes Before and After Treatment With Depomedrol and Background Medication Withdrawal in Patients With Mild to Moderate SLE Disease Activity
- To determine major biomarker patterns in lupus patients flaring on minimal background medications and compare to those flaring on typical background meds used in clinic and clinical trials [ Time Frame: 3-12 months (time of flare after first treatment with depomedrol) ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
- Biomarkers of steroid efficacy and toxicity [ Time Frame: 3-12 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
- validation of disease activity and flare instruments in development [ Time Frame: 3-12 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
- Patient reported outcomes and validation of new lupus specific quality of life and patient reported outcome measures [ Time Frame: 3-12 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
|Estimated Enrollment:
|Study Start Date:
|May 2009
|Estimated Study Completion Date:
|December 2010
|Estimated Primary Completion Date:
|November 2010 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)
|Assigned Interventions
No Intervention: Blood drawing only
Healthy controls, age, sex and ethnicity matched to the active study participants will be recruited for one time blood donation as controls for the biomarker studies
Other: Blood drawing only
No treatments will be given
Other Name: No intervention
Active Comparator: Azathioprine and depomedrol
It is expected that about a third of patients will enter on azathioprine. When depomedrol is given, azathioprine will be stopped and biomarkers studied before and after this change. Depomedrol is expected to last 1-3 months, serial biomarkers will be drawn until time of any flare, at which time biomarkers will be drawn, patient is defined as meeting endpoint and new treatment initiated. Patients may elect to continue to donate blood samples per protocol up to one year but will be considered completers as defined by the protocol at this endpoint
Drug: Depomedrol
Patients entering on azathioprine will have this treatment stopped and depomedrol 160 mg IM will be given. If not better in two days this treatment can be repeated. Over two weeks a maximum of four such treatments can be elected in order to ensure symptom remission. If the intervention is ineffective, the patient will be withdrawn from study as an induction failure, and treated as appropriate. Subject would then be replaced by a new volunteer.
Other Names:
Active Comparator: Methotrexate and depomedrol
Methotrexate will be withdrawn and the procedures will be the same as the azathioprine arm
Drug: Methotrexate and depomedrol
Patients enter on methotrexate. Depomedrol 160 mg IM will be given and methotrexate withdrawn. Repeat dosing of depomedrol can be elected identically to the azathioprine arm
Other Name: methotrexate is also known as Rheumatrex
Active Comparator: Mycophenolate mofetil and depomedrol
Mycophenolate will be withdrawn and procedures will be the same as the other two active comparator arms.
Drug: Mycophenolate mofetil and depomedrol
Patients entering on mycophenolate will have this treatment withdrawn and depomedrol 160 mg IM will be given. Repeat depomedrol can be elected identically to the other active comparator arms
Other Name: Cellcept, Myfortic
Detailed Description:
Patients with at least a SLEDAI score of 6 or a BILAG score of B in at least two organ systems or A in at least one organ system will be immediately entered into this study once informed consent is obtained. Background immune suppressants (if any) are stopped and in half of the patients hydroxychloroquine will also be stopped. All patients will immediately receive a shot of depomedrol 160 mg IM. Over the next two weeks they may elect up to three more shots of depomedrol for a total of four shots by the two week visit period. A complete battery of blood tests to assess lupus disease is drawn at the screening visit, and monthly thereafter. Biomarker studies are drawn as often as weekly for some markers and as often as three times in the study (landmark visits) for others.
Landmark visits are defined as: 1.) screening (pre-dose, on background meds with active disease) 2.) two weeks or four weeks after screening as optimal to assess a patient who has stopped background meds and is now maximally improved (but at least one grade drop in BILAG scores in all organs entered at A or B or a four point drop in SLEDAI, otherwise the participant is deemed a treatment failure and will be replaced in the study). 3.) Flare visit on no background immune suppression and 1/2 on no hydroxychloroquine either, defined as the monthly visit or interim visit at which the patient has an increase in SLEDAI of 4 points from maximal improvement or has increased back to at least two BILAG B scores or at least one BILAG A scores.Patients will be seen within 3 days if flare occurs between monthly scheduled visits.
The following biomarkers are being obtained: cytokine panel, B Cell studies, T Cell studies, autoantibody profiles, epigenetic and gene expression studies and flow cytometry studies.
|Ages Eligible for Study:
|15 Years to 70 Years
|Genders Eligible for Study:
|Accepts Healthy Volunteers:
Inclusion Criteria:
Active Groups:
- ACR criteria for SLE.
- At least two organ systems moderately active to a minimum of BILAG B or SLEDAI score of 6.
Control group:

As a bipartisan Senate group worked over the past few months to assemble broad legislation to overhaul the immigration system, conservative critics of the effort kept a fairly low profile. That's about to change.
Critics of the bipartisan "Gang of Eight" immigration bill are gearing up for a intense fight to defeat the bill and they plan to put the economy at the center of their strategy.
The debate on Capitol Hill over the bill will kick off Friday with a hearing in the Senate Judiciary Committee. Conservatives held back until details of the legislation emerged and now intend to stir grassroots opposition through social media and talk radio among other lobbying efforts.
"Everything in this bill says we have a labor shortage. It's proposing adding millions more foreign workers over the next decade along," said Roy Beck, head of NumbersUSA, a group that favors low immigration levels. "We have 20 million Americans who can't find a full-time job. It's as if the Gang of Eight lives in alternate universe."
Beck took aim at a provision that would allow many of the roughly 11 million undocumented immigrants to obtain provisional visas, giving them the right to live and work in the country for 13 years before becoming eligible for citizenship.
Many foes of the immigration bill view their most effective line of attack to be warnings about the costs of the legislation and its impact on an already weak U.S. labor market.
Some activists and lawmakers have derided the bill as an amnesty for lawbreakers but by emphasizing the law enforcement argument, conservatives risk fueling a perception that they are anti-immigrant.
Republicans are also mindful of their party's low standing with Hispanic Americans and wary of stirring backlash with these voters.
The bill would establish new guest worker programs of low-skilled workers in farming, construction and other trades and increase the number of skilled workers who can obtain visas.
Former South Carolina Senator Jim DeMint, who now heads the conservative Heritage Foundation think tank, attacked the bill as "amnesty," adding that it would incur "significant costs" to taxpayers.
"At a time of trillion-dollar deficits and $17 trillion in debt, the cost of implementing amnesty and the strain it will add to already fragile entitlement and welfare programs should be of serious concern for everyone," DeMint said in a blog post on the Heritage Foundation web site.
The four Democrats and four Republicans who sponsored the bill formally began their effort to sell it at a news conference Thursday.
Under the Gang of Eight proposal, those who obtain provisional visas would not be eligible for most federal benefit programs, including welfare and assistance purchasing health insurance under the 2010 health reform law, until they receive green cards or citizenship.
But those given provisional legal status would eventually be allowed to draw benefits once they receive green cards or citizenship.
Heritage, which helped defeat the last major effort at comprehensive immigration reform in 2007, plans to issue a study in coming weeks analyzing the fiscal impact of the Gang of Eight's proposal in a report likely to become fodder for the debate on Capitol Hill.
Within conservative circles, the politics of the immigration issue are complicated. Republican Senator Marco Rubio, a Cuban-American and a favorite of the conservative Tea Party movement, is one of the lead sponsors of the Senate immigration bill.
Rubio, a Florida Republican and potential presidential candidate in 2016, and some other Republicans are embracing immigration reform in the aftermath of a presidential election in which Republican Mitt Romney lost to Democratic President Barack Obama, hurt in part by Obama's huge advantage with Latino voters.
Romney's stance on immigration during the campaign, including suggesting that illegal immigrants "self-deport," helped to cost him votes with Hispanic Americans.
Some prominent economic conservatives, including anti-tax activist Grover Norquist, support the immigration reform bill, arguing that it will boost growth by making labor markets more fluid and giving technology companies and other business greater leeway to hire the skilled workers they need to stay competitive.
Douglas Holtz-Eakin, a former aide to President George W. Bush who also advised McCain's failed 2008 presidential bid, has estimated that immigration reform could boost U.S. gross domestic product by a nearly a percentage point.
Holtz-Eakin, head of the American Action Forum, a conservative policy institute, also said overhauling immigration laws could reduce cumulative federal budget deficits by $2.5 billion when taking into account the fact that faster economic growth leads to higher tax collections and reduces costs for unemployment insurance and other safety net programs.
But there are plenty of Republican skeptics of the immigration bill on Capitol Hill and it faces a particularly tough road in the Republican-controlled House of Representatives.
In the Senate, which is narrowly controlled by Democrats, Republican Jeff Sessions is expected to lead the effort to defeat the immigration bill. Like DeMint, Sessions said the bill would put a huge strain on federal entitlement programs. He also warned it would exacerbate a scarcity of jobs for Americans already grappling with a 7.6 percent unemployment rate.
"This proposal would economically devastate low-income American citizens and current legal immigrants," the Alabama Republican senator said. "It will pull down their wages and reduce their job prospects. Including those legalized, this bill would result in at least 30 million new foreign workers over a 10-year period — more than the entire population of the state of Texas."

One Response to "Right wing hopes use of economy will defeat immigration bill"
All the good a Marco Rubio can do for his party is undone by the party base's attitudes and remarks about other races and ethnic groups. You can see it every day by reading internet postings: Not all Republicans are racists (by a long shot), but almost all racists are Republicans these days.
Having high profile candidates saying "the right things", having more inclusive party platforms, having Sunday morning TV pundits talking about their need to capture the Hispanic vote, all are worthless when there are thousands of self-identified Republicans out there posting hateful comments on every Internet story published. Not to mention everything public figures ever say in public being recorded and on YouTube forever.
OMG: The Mexicans can read now!

I want to thank Kim Ferraro for her letter regarding the Constitution. I looked at the preamble in a different way.
It states: "We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense, insure the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, …"
It is the "insure the general Welfare" part that struck me in terms of the 2nd Amendment. The 2nd Amendment provides for the right to bear arms. However, if that right goes against the "insure the general welfare" part of the Constitution, then providing for the general welfare wins out.
Therefore, in order to protect its citizens, assault rifles and high capacity ammunition clips must be banned for all except for the military and police (protecting the people by providing for the common defense).
This is in keeping with the Constitution.
