TuxMachines: today's leftovers
Docker Expands Container Networking Capabilities
When Docker 1.0 debuted in June 2014, it was missing a key feature: fully integrated networking that works. In June 2016, networking in Docker containers is a very different story, with a host of new capabilities now present in the Docker 1.12 milestone, which was officially released last week.
At the core of Docker's networking capabilities is the libnetwork stack, which first debuted in the Docker 1.7 release in June 2015 and became fully integrated in the Docker 1.9 update. Libnetwork is based on technology built and since expanded by SocketPlane, a company that Docker acquired in March 2015.

Stellaris patch Asimov 1.2 released, it's a good one
I've been scared to click that play button on Stellaris recently, as it sucks up so much time it's crazy. The patch named Asimov has been released!
To be honest with you, I still think it's one of the best strategy games available to date on Linux. For a space sci-fi fan like myself it's a wet dream.
Factorio 0.13 released, the changelog is massive, much improved networking too
Factorio is an absolute gem of a sandbox game and I love it. It's another game I'm terrible scared to load up as I will lose days to it, this new update has me inching closer to the play button.

Time to retire
I'm sad to say it's the end of the road for me with Gentoo, after 13 years volunteering my time (my "anniversary" is tomorrow). My time and motivation to commit to Gentoo have steadily declined over the past couple of years and eventually stopped entirely. It was an enormous part of my life for more than a decade, and I'm very grateful to everyone I've worked with over the years.
My last major involvement was running our participation in the Google Summer of Code, which is now fully handed off to others. Prior to that, I was involved in many things from migrating our X11 packages through the Big Modularization and maintaining nearly 400 packages to serving 6 terms on the council and as desktop manager in the pre-council days. I spent a long time trying to change and modernize our distro and culture. Some parts worked better than others, but the inertia I had to fight along the way was enormous.

Why Debian Policy is important to package quality
Unless you are a Debian maintainer, you probably haven't read the Debian Policy Manual. However, when Ubuntu started promoting Snappy packages as a more secure solution to package management, the claim was challenged, not by reference to the technical structure of Debian packages, but to the Debian Policy Manual.

Which browser is best for battery life: We test Edge vs. Chrome vs. Opera vs. Firefox [Ed: Microsoft is spying on all users of its so-called 'browser' (proprietary spyware) to help manufacture false/misleading claims about it]
So here's the thing. My own tests shows Edge has a clear power advantage in light browsing chores; it's just not as dramatic as Microsoft's own tests. But the truth is actually more complicated because our browsing habits are so different, and can change from day to day. If you play a game or use Outlook all day, you can make a pretty good guess about how each will impact battery life. A browser though is a window to the unlimited and ever-changing Internet and no one uses it the same way.
The Tech Preview Of Servo/Browser.html Is Imminent!
For months there's been talk of a Servo/Browser.html technical preview in June and there's just one week left to the month... It looks like Mozilla is still planning on meeting this milestone!
Servo has made much progress this year as a next-generation browser layout engine written in Rust and featuring cool features like its GPU back-end while they've long been planning to ship a technical preview release in June along with a TP of their Browser.html front-end. They also have still been planning to ship at least one Servo component inside Gecko/Firefox this calendar year.

ZFS: The other new Apple file system that almost was—until it wasn't
I attended my first WWDC in 2006 to participate in Apple's launch of its DTrace port to the next version of Mac OS X (Leopard). Apple completed all but the fiddliest finishing touches without help from the DTrace team. Even when Apple did meet with us, we had no idea that it was mere weeks away from the finished product being announced to the world. DTrace was a testament both to Apple's engineering acumen as well as its storied secrecy.
A ZFS developer's analysis of the good and bad in Apple's new APFS file system
Apple announced a new file system that will make its way into all of its OS variants (macOS, tvOS, iOS, watchOS) in the coming years. Media coverage to this point has been mostly breathless elongations of Apple's developer documentation. With a dearth of detail I decided to attend the presentation and Q&A with the APFS team at WWDC. Dominic Giampaolo and Eric Tamura, two members of the APFS team, gave an overview to a packed room; along with other members of the team, they patiently answered questions later in the day. With those data points and some first-hand usage I wanted to provide an overview and analysis both as a user of Apple-ecosystem products and as a long-time operating system and file system developer.

TuxMachines: Security Leftovers
Chrome vulnerability lets attackers steal movies from streaming services
A significant security vulnerability in Google technology that is supposed to protect videos streamed via Google Chrome has been discovered by researchers from the Ben-Gurion University of the Negev Cyber Security Research Center (CSRC) in collaboration with a security researcher from Telekom Innovation Laboratories in Berlin, Germany.
Large botnet of CCTV devices knock the snot out of jewelry website
Researchers have encountered a denial-of-service botnet that's made up of more than 25,000 Internet-connected closed circuit TV devices.
The researchers with Security firm Sucuri came across the malicious network while defending a small brick-and-mortar jewelry shop against a distributed denial-of-service attack. The unnamed site was choking on an assault that delivered almost 35,000 HTTP requests per second, making it unreachable to legitimate users. When Sucuri used a network addressing and routing system known as Anycast to neutralize the attack, the assailants increased the number of HTTP requests to 50,000 per second.
Study finds Password Misuse in Hospitals a Steaming Hot Mess
Hospitals are pretty hygienic places – except when it comes to passwords, it seems.
That's the conclusion of a recent study by researchers at Dartmouth College, the University of Pennsylvania and USC, which found that efforts to circumvent password protections are "endemic" in healthcare environments and mostly go unnoticed by hospital IT staff.
The report describes what can only be described as wholesale abandonment of security best practices at hospitals and other clinical environments – with the bad behavior being driven by necessity rather than malice.
Why are hackers increasingly targeting the healthcare industry?
Cyber-attacks in the healthcare environment are on the rise, with recent research suggesting that critical healthcare systems could be vulnerable to attack.
In general, the healthcare industry is proving lucrative for cybercriminals because medical data can be used in multiple ways, for example fraud or identify theft. This personal data often contains information regarding a patient's medical history, which could be used in targeted spear-phishing attacks.

TuxMachines: Windows 'Upgrade'
When A Computer Is Ready for the Junk Pile
To that point, there was a report that a mail server failure in a large business office remained a mystery for two days until someone found an old Pentium II back in the corner of some obscure closet with a burned out power supply. It is reported that the Slackware/Debian/Red Hat machine had been plugging away as a mail server for a number of years, completely unattended. That's feasible I suppose, but I further suppose that it's a modern day parable about how open source can indeed, carry the day.
Microsoft draws flak for pushing Windows 10 on PC users
With about a month left for many PC users to upgrade to Windows 10 at no charge, Microsoft is being criticized for its aggressive — some say too aggressive — campaign to get people to install the new operating system.
Microsoft forks out thousands over forced Windows 10 upgrade
Microsoft has had to pay a Windows user in California US$10,000 over a forced upgrade to Windows 10, according to a report in the Seattle Times.
The user, Teri Goldstein, runs a travel agency in Sausalito, a San Francisco Bay Area city in Marin County, California.
A lawsuit over an unwanted Windows 10 upgrade just cost Microsoft $10,000
Microsoft recently paid a (very small) price for its Windows 10 upgrade tactics, and that was before they became increasingly aggressive.
Updategate: California woman awarded $10,000 for borked Windows 10 upgrade
A CALIFORNIA woman has set a precedent after a court ruled that she was entitled to damages over the installation of Windows 10 on her machine.
Teri Goldstein, a travel agent, testified that the new operating system had auto-downloaded, started to install, failed, and left her Windows 7 computer running painfully slowly and often unusable for days.
"I had never heard of Windows 10," Goldstein told reporters. "Nobody ever asked me if I wanted to update."

'I urge everyone to fight back' – woman wins $10k from Microsoft over Windows 10 misery
A California woman has won $10,000 from Microsoft after a sneaky Windows 10 update wrecked the computer she used to run her business. Now she's urging everyone to follow suit and "fight back."
Teri Goldstein – who manages a travel agency in Sausalito, just north of San Francisco – told The Register she landed the compensation by taking Microsoft to a small claims court.
Rather than pursue a regular lawsuit, she chose the smaller court because it was better suited to sorting out consumer complaints. Crucially, it meant Microsoft couldn't send one of its top-gun lawyers – or any lawyer in fact: small claims courts are informal and attorneys are generally not allowed. Instead, Redmond-based Microsoft had to send a consumer complaints rep to argue its case.

TuxMachines: Linux Practicality vs Activism
One of the greatest things about running Linux is the freedom it provides. Where the division among the Linux community appears is in how we value this freedom.
For some, the freedom enjoyed by using Linux is the freedom from vendor lock-in or high software costs. Most would call this a practical consideration. Others users would tell you the freedom they enjoy is software freedom. This means embracing Linux distributions that support the Free Software Movement, avoiding proprietary software completely and all things related.
TuxMachines: What is the Fedora Modularity project and how do you get involved ?
The Fedora Modularity Project is an effort to fix several problems that all distributions face. One of them is the disconnect between Fedora's release cycle and the release cycle of larger Fedora components like for example GNOME, KDE or even the kernel. Those components obviously don't have the same lifecycle that Fedora follows and Fedora can't always wait for major components to be released upstream and on the other hand doesn't want to ship outdated software.
An earlier attempt to work around this disconnect were the Fedora Rings with a central core 'base design', a concentric ring #2 around it for 'environments and stacks' and a ring #3 for applications. It wasn't possible to have different release cycles for packages in ring #2 as dependencies wouldn't allow that most of the time.
TuxMachines: antiX 16 & OpenMandriva 3.0 Beta 2 Release, openSUSE Numbers
It was a busy day in Linux with Slack, antiX, and OpenMandriva all working towards their next releases. Sam Varghese quoted Alberto Planas who said openSUSE sees about 1600 new installations each month and Gentoo's Donnie Berkholz posted his retirement notice. Bruce Byfield posted two interesting articles today, one explaining the difference between an Open Source user and a Free Software Activist and the other describing the stringent Debian packaging policies. As a bonus, a lady in California won a $10,000 award in small claims court from Microsoft over its Windows 10 behavior.

Friday night news dump: White House to end ObamaCare waiver program
posted at 5:52 pm on June 17, 2011 by Allahpundit
Yes, that waiver program. The one for which they had no statutory authorization to begin with.
I don't get it. Why would they want to end a politically toxic, deeply corrupt program just as Republican candidates are starting to hit the trail in earnest?
Political considerations were "absolutely not" part of the decision, said Steve Larsen, head of a section of the Health and Human Services department that oversees President Barack Obama's health care law.
Larsen said no new applications for waivers will be considered after Sept. 22. Approvals or renewals received by the deadline will be good through 2013. Starting in 2014, the main coverage provisions of the health care law will take effect, and such waivers will no longer be needed…
A conservative policy expert who has been critical of the program wasn't buying the technical explanation.
"It looks like they finally figured out they were in a public relations hole and decided to stop digging," said Ed Haislmaier of the Heritage Foundation think tank.
I lost track of the waiver issue sometime after the thousandth waiver was granted, which as I recall was around the time Anthony Weiner was thinking of asking for one for all of New York City. Did we ever find out what criteria HHS uses to approve or deny a waiver request, or is it still Sebelius's little secret? Hopefully we'll learn more: Since the program will be active until late September, there's still plenty of time for more House oversight hearings on the issue.
Maybe now that Weiner's a private citizen again, they can call him to testify?

Vallourec Slumps Most in 21 Years in Paris as Profit Falls
Vallourec SA, a French producer of steel pipes for the oil and gas industry, declined the most in more than 21 years in Paris trading after profit sank.
Vallourec fell 14.18 euros, or 17 percent, to 69.99 euros by the 5:30 p.m. close in Paris trading, the steepest decline since at least Oct. 3, 1989. It was reduced to "neutral" from "buy" by Natixis SA and to "underperform" from "neutral" at BofA Merrill Lynch after posting an 11 percent decline in second-quarter profit as rising raw material costs cut margins.
Net income slid to 112 million euros ($161 million) from 126 million euros a year earlier, Boulogne Billancourt, France-based Vallourec said yesterday after the close of trading. The company said it "will continue to operate in a context marked by the volatility and high level of raw material costs."
"Vallourec's very cautious stance on the second half is set to take the market by surprise," Bofa wrote in a note today. "Unless we see a material uplift in demand and the pricing environment, we expect Vallourec will struggle to convince the market of a quicker pace of margin expansion."
The pipemaker said revenue will "progress at a lower pace" even as volumes rise in the second half compared with the first six months of the year. Earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization will be "slightly higher."
Material costs are hobbling steel-product makers' efforts to emerge from the industry's worst crisis in 60 years following the world financial crisis. The price of iron ore, a key steel-making ingredient, may average $170 a metric ton in 2011, up from $122 a ton last year, according to Morgan Stanley.

Xbox One will not require Kinect
Microsoft changes its mind again
THE GAMES CONSOLE Xbox One will work without being connected to a Kinect.
Until now we had been told that Microsoft's next games console would not work without the Kinect contraption, but in an apparent Xbox One about-face Microsoft has changed its mind.
Microsoft chief product officer Marc Whitte confirmed the change last night in a talk at IGN, explaining that while it had been the case before, those days are now over.
"Like online, the console will still function if Kinect isn't plugged in, although you won't be able to use any feature or experience that explicitly uses the sensor," he said.
Users might have been concerned about connecting the always on and watching Kinect whenever they play, and with the Xbox One it comes as part of the bundle. You can leave it in the box now though, unless you are in the mood for some arm waving or voice controlled interaction.
"You can turn the sensor back on at any time through settings, and if you enter into a required Kinect experience (like Kinect Sports Rivals for instance), you'll get a message asking if you want to turn the sensor back on in order to continue," added Whitte.
Separately, Microsoft has also said that owners of the games console will be able to control their PC with its wired controller.
The controller has been pored over in a seven minute long Youtube video hosted by Major Nelson, the regular Xbox blogger. The video prompted a request for more information from the Penny Arcade report, and it got it.
"As we've stated, the Xbox One controller, although it looks similar in many ways, shares no underlying technology with the current Xbox 360 controller," a Microsoft representative told the gaming publication.
"[The] new wireless protocol, combined with the ability to work in 'wired' mode, and the addition of features like Impulse triggers, means that new software has to be written and optimized for the PC."
The suggestion is that Xbox One controllers could be used to control a PC game. µ

Living in a tropical country is both a blessing and a curse. While I don't have to deal with layers and layers of winter gear, I do have to unwillingly go through my day-to-day activities as if I'm living in one huge sauna.

PITTSBURGH -- Tony Gonzalez of the Atlanta Falcons has become the first NFL tight end to reach 1,000 receptions by catching a 20-yard pass from Matt Ryan in the third quarter against Pittsburgh.
Gonzalez, who played 12 seasons with Kansas City before joining the Falcons last season, is the seventh receiver to make at least 1,000 catches. The others are Jerry Rice, Marvin Harrison, Cris Carter, Tim Brown, Isaac Bruce and Terrell Owens.
Gonzalez's catch Sunday came three plays after he apparently reached the mark with a reception along the Steelers sideline, only to have the play nullified by penalty because Gonzalez went out of bounds before catching the ball.

I love this image for its sheer vividness in capturing the essence of camping under a starry night , whilst out on my recent trek with buddies Vishal Bhopal and Atul Sehgal . When you are at the back of beyond , this is how nature presents itself to a seeker.Nothing really in this world can compare with such moments. With the passage of time, this image will surely serve as a
fond memory of our trek . And lastly dont miss viewing the milky way in the night sky.

I bought 8 strands of pearls for my bridesmaids and MOB/MIL. They were excelletnly priced. They are not invividually notted however, and they don't hang like ones that are individually notted. That said, if you wear them often the strand will soften and look beatuiful. Very imperfect pearls, which I loved. I bought matching earrings too, and the price was excellent for the set, and everyone loved. They are not a top grade pearl, but they are consistent with the price. I was happy with purchase. You will have to buy a gift box if you plan to gift them, they came in a plastic bag :(
- How did the image on site compare with the actual product? good
- How accurate was the sizing? fine
- Please tell us about the quality of the product. ok
each pearl was mishapen, potatoe in shape. the color isn't chocolate but bronze. pearls were very flawed . if you want a necklace with at least some unformity to it, don't buy this one.
- How did the image on site compare with the actual product? the pearls on the website were more uniform than the pearls i recieved
- How accurate was the sizing? sizing was pretty accurate
- Please tell us about the quality of the product. the pearls were more what i call non- uniform. all were flawed, some were potatoe shaped. if you expect round pearls don't order this necklace.

Oct 24, 2013Flying Wild Hog has topped their previous game, Hard Reset, in nearly every respect with Shadow Warrior. A myriad of beautiful environments, crazy but balanced and innovative combat, and a smoother difficulty curve prove that the Polish studio has graphical, level and gameplay design talent to spare. Don't miss this one.
Oct 8, 2013I haven't had this much unadulterated fun chopping and dropping enemies since the late '90s, and I, for one, am eagerly salivating for a bit more of Flying Wild Hog's Wang.
Sep 26, 2013Shadow Warrior won't win any awards for complexity. It's a shamelessly self-confident return to the whiplash, blood'n'guts symphony of 90s-era shooters, but it salvages the low concept, and it's own checkered legacy, with ironclad mechanics and the likable, if oafish, story it tells.
Nov 18, 2013Shadow Warrior is an unrepentant love poem for all things 90s and plays out as a greatest hits album of the video games and buddy cop movies from that time.
Oct 7, 2013Without any doubt, Shadow Warrior, is a great reimagining of the old classic. The game is brutal in many ways, with one-liners reminding us of Duke Nukem. It's a bit repetitive and some variation wouldn't kill the mood. Overall it is a good game with a lot of blood and a great fighting system. In the words of Wang: it's wangtastic!
Oct 2, 2013Shadow Warrior is a good shooter that stands out for its humor and fast-paced action, and that's enough to satisfy fans of FPS until something more substantial comes along.

Jun 22, 2016Flying Wild Hog's Shadow Warrior reboot is a suburb singleplayer FPS, marrying the original game's ribald humor and chop-suey, Hong KongFlying Wild Hog's Shadow Warrior reboot is a suburb singleplayer FPS, marrying the original game's ribald humor and chop-suey, Hong Kong bloodshed flavor with the fast-paced, challenging-but-fair new-old-school gameplay that has been on a slow rise, seen in game's like Serious Sam: BFE and Wild Hog's own Hard Reset. Much like those games, this game does an excellent job of making you feel like an unstoppable badass, a critical element of FPS that I have found sorely lacking in, say, the military shooter genre. This title sees a younger, but no less self-important Lo Wang pitted not only against his original nemesis, corporate magnate Orochi Zilla, but a new assortment of vicious demons, and he's got a new wisecracking sidekick who sees Wang for what he is: a hopeless nerd playing at being a street samurai. But while he is quick to dispense one-liners, this Lo Wang is a fay cry from the lecherous old master of the first game, and finds himself in the midst of a powerful and emotional struggle between ancient demon lords, and matures greatly as both a warrior and a person over the course of his adventure. Shadow Warrior seamlessly (More or less. The upgrade menus strike some as jarring interruptions) blends modern character progression, enemy dismemberment and bit of iron-sight aiming with movement-based, coverless shooter combat against large numbers of enemies, typical of its predecessor's day, weaving magic spells and special sword techniques into Lo Wang's already considerable arsenal of brutal firearms. The sword itself takes a much greater role then the first game and is great fun to use, rending the demons hordes into so many meat chunks. Scattered throughout the levels are a multitude of secret areas, including one lifted directly from the original game, much like the hidden Wolfenstein 3D levels in New Order and Old Blood, and you're met with a score screen at the end of the level, assessing your skills as a Shadow Warrior- I never scored particularly high, but it didn't stop me from loving the game from beginning to its surprisingly poignant ending. I eagerly look forward to playing the upcoming sequel.… Expand
Sep 27, 2013Picture this: You are sitting in front of your computer monitor browsing the dozens and dozens of first-person-shooters that have come outPicture this: You are sitting in front of your computer monitor browsing the dozens and dozens of first-person-shooters that have come out over the last few years. You come to the dramatic realization that almost everything is brown, grim, and freaking boring...with very few truly enjoyable experiences to be had.
If you're a fan of old school, arcadey or arena style shooters, then you are out of luck. Sure, there's a Bulletstorm here...a Serious Sam there...but what else can tide you over?
Suddenly, out of the shadows comes Shadow Warrior: a pleasant surprise if ever there was one.
Shadow Warrior, quite frankly, is the most fun I've had with a shooter in a long time. Taking nods from Painkiller and The Darkness, Shadow Warrior comes to the table as an arena style shooter with a ton of charm and wonder behind it's combat. The guns are stylish (and you can hold more than 2 at one time...HOW ABOUT THAT?!) and the melee combat with the katana is like nothing else on the market when it comes to first person games. The combat is just fun, and without experiencing it for yourself the only word that describes it is "kinetic".
There is some first rate humor here, as well. Decent voice acting along with witty dialogue from our protagonist and his demonic sidekick give this game some great character. There's also a lot of fourth-wall breaking, and the game never takes itself seriously.
While the level design is mostly linear (and the game does recycle the same set pieces just a tad bit), there are branching paths to explore. You'll definitely want to explore them, too, as not only is it prudent for upgrading your gear...but there are also secrets and easter eggs absolutely everywhere...and some of them are incredibly hilarious with huge amounts of references to other games. If you're a nerd, and have been playing games since the 80s, then you'll get a kick out of some of the awesome stuff there is to find in Shadow Warrior.
Bottom line: Shadow Warrior deserves your time, your attention, and your cash.… Expand
Jan 5, 2014It's been a "wang" time since FPS' didn't try to take theirselves too seriously, were difficult, and most of all, fun. Duke Nukem Forever, forIt's been a "wang" time since FPS' didn't try to take theirselves too seriously, were difficult, and most of all, fun. Duke Nukem Forever, for many, was a disappointment in that many hoped that it would stay the course of what FPS used to entail: gratuitous, unapologetic, fast paced gore and action. But for the new reboot of Shadow Warrior, being the more "eastern" cousin of Duke Nukem truly shines in that it redeems what makes FPS great with all the credentials of it being made in 2013. The graphics are completely stunning, not only for the purpose of the aesthetic but even beautifully done with the gore and action too. Melee combat, for FPS, usually always tied into being used as a last ditch effort. But not here. The Katana will probably be the most handy weapon out there, and it's the first one you get! There are a lot of combinations to the weapon that can apply heavy damage and kills, but the combos are frustratingly set on the movement keys and require some wonky movement in order to use them. Second, while the firepower can, at times work for the most part, seem quite underpowered when compared to the Katana. But even then, every gun you use has a satisfying punch to it, and the shotgun is especially of that case when you can unload every shell point blank into quivering demons. As many of the professional critics state, level design is somewhat weak as it usually involved complex corridors followed by arena-sized areas, rinse and repeat. Sometimes the level design can shine between both context and combat orientation, like "You Should See the Other Guy", or generally the chapters involving the shipyard. The Demons, or the general enemies are at the most times competent but usually suffer from clipping errors with items around them, so they can often try to chase you from a corner. In terms of what they can do is another story, as they can evolve and be enraged to greater bring strain to the player. The story is fairly decent and potent for a game that involves gratuitous violence, with a likable chemistry between the main character, Lo Wang, and his demon pal, Hoji, webbing the downfall of the shadow realm and how the sword and Hoji are tied to it. Also, for a FPS, we also get to see a lot of character building too with Lo Wang, from being a sneery, egotistic japanese 'american', to being a full blown, sympathetic professional with the wisdom and charisma of a true master. I didn't really set my sights on Flying Wild Hog before, but with their continued devotion to bring the S back in FPS really makes me feel they are the Id or 3DRealms of our generation. Overall, this game will melt your brain with fun, being fun loving and never tiring to blow demons back to kingdom come, keeping the tradition of secrets and shadow warrior's quotable one-liners, but best of all, making what is FPS, FPS!… Expand

Product Reviews
Unlike the rest of the nation, we were in a cold spell here in Washington state. I needed something just to warm up the house a little bit as my old space heater had died. This one did the job performing a very functional service. It has nothing fancy or exotic, just does the job it is suppose to do. The instructions that came with it were very useful. Try finding a space heater in the month of June! I was most happy that Overstock could send me this one in just a few days!

There are two ways to fix this problem, but I haven't been able to figure out either. When someone goes to my site, I want a javascript popup to open on the right side and I want it to always be on top. I've figured everything out and gotten it to work with the following code, but I can't figure out how to implement the always on top javascript code ( ) into the pop-up window.

Rationale and design of DECISION: a double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled phase III trial evaluating the efficacy and safety of sorafenib in patients with locally advanced or metastatic radioactive iodine (RAI)-refractory, differentiated thyroid cancer
The incidence of thyroid cancer and the number of patients who die from this disease are increasing globally. Differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC) is the histologic subtype present in most patients and is primarily responsible for the increased overall incidence of thyroid cancer. Sorafenib is a multikinase inhibitor that targets several molecular signals believed to be involved in the pathogenesis of thyroid cancer, including those implicated in DTC. In phase II studies of patients with DTC, sorafenib treatment has yielded a median progression-free survival (PFS) of 58 to 84 weeks and disease control rates of 59% to 100%. The DECISION trial was designed to assess the ability of sorafenib to improve PFS in patients with locally advanced or metastatic, radioactive iodine (RAI)-refractory DTC.
DECISION is a multicenter, double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled phase III study in patients with locally advanced/metastatic RAI-refractory DTC. Study treatment will continue until radiographically documented disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, noncompliance, or withdrawal of consent. Efficacy will be evaluated every 56 days (2 cycles), whereas safety will be evaluated every 28 days (1 cycle) for the first 8 months and every 56 days thereafter. Following disease progression, patients may continue or start sorafenib, depending on whether they were randomized to receive sorafenib or placebo, at investigator discretion. Patients originally randomized to receive sorafenib will be followed up every 3 months for overall survival (OS); patients originally randomized to receive placebo will be followed up every month for 8 months after cross-over to sorafenib. The duration of the trial is expected to be 30 months from the time the first patient is randomized until the planned number of PFS events is attained. The primary endpoint is PFS; secondary endpoints include OS, time to disease progression, disease control rate, response rate, duration of response, safety, and pharmacokinetic analysis.
The DECISION study has been designed to test whether sorafenib improves PFS in patients with locally advanced or metastatic RAI-refractory DTC.
Trial Registration
ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT00984282; EudraCT: 2009-012007-25.
In the United States in 2010, there were 44,670 estimated new cases of thyroid cancer, making it the most common of the endocrine malignancies
Therapeutic options for patients with radioiodine (RAI)-refractory, advanced DTC are limited. The only systemic therapy approved in most countries is doxorubicin, which has traditionally been a limited option because complete responses are rare, partial responses are limited, and toxicity is considerable
Sorafenib is a multikinase inhibitor that targets several molecular signals believed to be involved in the pathogenesis of thyroid cancer, including those implicated in DTC. These signals include the RAS and BRAF/MEK/ERK signaling pathways; ligand-independent RET/PTC receptor tyrosine kinase activation; and pathways involving vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF), and their receptors (Figure
Figure 1
Molecular signals believed to be involved in the pathogenesis of DTC
Molecular signals believed to be involved in the pathogenesis of DTC. Key events in the initiation of thyroid cancer are believed to include constitutive activation of BRAF, RAS, and RET/PTC
A total of 168 patients with thyroid cancer, including 133 (79%) with differentiated histology, have been treated with sorafenib in four phase II trials (Table

Rationale for phase III study
Given the encouraging results from phase II trials of sorafenib in patients with DTC and the need for improvement in the treatment of thyroid cancer, the phase III DECISION (Study of Sorafenib in Locally Advanced or Metastatic Patients with RAI-Refractory Thyroid Cancer) trial was initiated to evaluate the efficacy and safety of sorafenib in patients with locally advanced or metastatic, RAI-refractory, DTC. Because PFS may better predict improvement in overall survival (OS) than response rate, PFS was selected as the primary efficacy assessment.
Primary Objective
Patients with RAI-refractory DTC (papillary, follicular, Hürthle cell, and poorly differentiated carcinoma) are being randomized to receive sorafenib or placebo. The primary objective of this phase III study is to compare PFS, as evaluated by Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors version 1.0 (RECIST)
Secondary Objectives
Among the secondary efficacy objectives of this trial are OS, measured from date of randomization to date of death due to any cause; time to progression (TTP), measured from date of randomization to date of confirmed radiologic progression; and disease control rate (DCR), defined as the proportion of patients with a best overall tumor response of complete response (CR), PR, or stable disease (SD) based on RECIST criteria, during treatment or within 30 days of termination of study medication. Other secondary efficacy objectives include response rate (RR), defined as the proportion of patients with a best overall tumor response of PR or CR during treatment or within 30 days of termination of study medication; and duration of response (DoR), defined as the time from first documented objective response of PR or CR (whichever is noted earlier) to disease progression or death (if death occurs before progression is documented). Secondary safety objectives include assessment of AEs and abnormalities in laboratory parameters. Pharmacokinetic (PK) objectives include determinations of exposure to sorafenib, defined as the area under the concentration (AUC) time curve from time 0 to 12 hours (AUC0-12) by population PK methods and using previously developed sorafenib population PK models.
DECISION is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, phase III trial, in which approximately 380 patients will be randomized 1:1 to receive sorafenib or placebo (Figure
Figure 2
DECISION schema
DECISION schema.
Patients are being stratified at randomization according to age (< 60 vs ≥ 60 years) and geographic region (North America vs Europe vs Asia).
The study setting is multinational, with approximately 91 sites in North America, Europe, and Asia. Patients are currently being enrolled in 19 countries: the United States, Germany, Italy, France, Poland, UK, Denmark, Spain, Sweden, Netherlands, Austria, Belgium, China, South Korea, Japan, Russia, Slovakia, Bulgaria, and Saudi Arabia.
Ethics, Informed Consent, and Safety
Documented approval has been obtained from appropriate Ethics Committees/Institutional Review Boards at all participating centers/countries prior to study start. The study is also designed to conform to International Conference on Harmonization of good clinical practice (GCP) guidelines, local laws, regulations, and organizations, as well as with the Declaration of Helsinki. Written informed consent must be obtained from each patient before any study-specific procedure takes place. Participation in the study and date of informed consent patient are being documented appropriately in each patient's files. A Data Monitoring Committee is in place to monitor the trial.
Inclusion Criteria
All patients must be > 18 years of age, have a life expectancy of at least 12 weeks, and have locally advanced or metastatic DTC (papillary, follicular, Hürthle cell, or poorly differentiated carcinoma) with at least one measurable lesion as measured by computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and disease progression within 14 months. Patients must not be candidates for curative surgery or radiation therapy. Additional inclusion criteria are an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status ≤ 2
Exclusion Criteria
Patients who undergo major surgery, open biopsy, or significant traumatic injury ≤ 30 days prior to randomization; those with previous or concurrent cancer distinct in primary site or histology from thyroid cancer ≤ 5 years prior to randomization, except for cervical cancer in situ, treated basal-cell carcinoma, and superficial (Ta, Tis, or T1) bladder tumors; and patients with foci of undifferentiated thyroid cancer are being excluded from the study. Other exclusion criteria include the presence of a non-healing wound, ulcer, bone fracture, or grade ≥ 2 infection according to National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (NCI-CTCAE) v3.0
Excluded Therapies and Medications
Patients are being excluded if they had been treated for cancer with any licensed or investigational tyrosine kinase inhibitors; monoclonal antibodies that target vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), VEGF receptors, or other targeted agents; cytotoxic chemotherapy agents (except for prior low-dose chemotherapy for radiosensitization); or thalidomide or any of its derivatives. Enrolled patients are unable to receive concomitant RAI, chemotherapy, or other investigational therapy; or any substances known to induce CYP3A4 (eg, St. John's Wort, dexamethasone > 16 mg daily, phenytoin, carbamazepine, rifampin, rifabutin, phenobarbital) within 7 days of randomization.
Concomitant Medication Precautions
Patients taking medications with a narrow therapeutic index (eg, warfarin) are being proactively monitored. In addition, because sorafenib inhibits a variety of liver metabolic enzymes in vitro, patients taking concomitant medications known to be metabolized by the liver are being monitored closely for AEs associated with those medications, especially as the clinical effects of sorafenib in patients taking drugs metabolized by these enzymes are unknown.
Estimated Timeline
The expected study duration is 30 months. The study will be halted when data for the primary endpoint are mature. Any patients continuing to benefit from treatment at the time of the study endpoint will be allowed to continue treatment.
Patients are being randomized to receive sorafenib 400 mg or matching placebo (2 tablets), twice daily (approximately every 12 hours apart without food; at least 1 hour before or 2 hours after a meal) in a double-blind fashion; neither the investigator nor the patient (or sponsor) will know which agent is being administered. Treatment will be continued until radiographically documented disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, or the study endpoint. Sorafenib will be made available, via an extension program or other mechanism, to patients who continue to show benefit after the study endpoint, until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
In the event of confirmed radiologic progression, as determined by RECIST v1.0 criteria, study treatment may be unblinded. Patients who had been randomized to receive sorafenib may continue to receive sorafenib, whereas those randomized to receive placebo may cross over to sorafenib. Decisions about continuing study medication and cross-over will be made by the investigator, based on each patient's clinical status and the determination of the investigator that the patient may receive clinical benefit from sorafenib.
Safety Assessments
Patients are being assessed for safety every 28 days (1 cycle) for the first 8 months and every 56 days (2 cycles) thereafter (Figure
Figure 3
Safety assessments
Safety assessments. (A) Patients treated with sorafenib during the double-blind treatment period and those treated with sorafenib who experience PD before completing 8 cycles and are unblinded (open-label treatment period). (B) Patients who received placebo during the double-blind treatment period and then crossed over to sorafenib after unblinding.
Efficacy Assessments
Efficacy is being evaluated every 56 days. Following progressive disease and at the discretion of the investigator, patients may continue or start sorafenib, depending on the treatment arm. Patients treated after progressive disease will be followed for efficacy until further progressive disease and for safety until 30 days after the end of sorafenib treatment. Dose modifications or interruptions are being allowed, based on specific criteria, for grade 2-3 hand-foot skin reaction (HFSR) and other AEs. Patients will enter the long-term follow-up period upon discontinuation of randomized therapy (sorafenib or placebo), based on documentation of progressive disease or unacceptable toxicity.
Statistical Analysis
The primary population for efficacy analysis will be the intention-to-treat (ITT) population, defined as all randomized patients. The population for safety analysis will consist of all patients who receive at least one dose of study medication. All randomized patients (ITT population) will be included in the primary analysis. The primary efficacy endpoint is PFS, with analysis performed when a predetermined number of PFS events has occurred. The null hypothesis--that both treatment arms have the same PFS distribution--will be tested against the alternative hypothesis--that the distribution of PFS in the two arms will differ according to Lehmann's alternative.
The two treatment groups (sorafenib and placebo) will be compared using a one-sided stratified log-rank test, with an overall one-sided alpha of 0.01 stratified by age (< 60 years vs ≥ 60 years) and geographica region (North America, Europe, and Asia). Kaplan-Meier estimates of median times to PFS and Kaplan-Meier curves will be generated for each group. The hazard ratios and 95% confidence intervals will be derived from a Cox proportional hazards model.
The secondary efficacy endpoints of TTP and OS in each group will be analyzed by the Kaplan-Meier method and compared using the log-rank test. Response rate and DCR will be analyzed using the Cochran-Mantel-Haenszel test. The tests will be adjusted for the same stratification factors as used for PFS. Duration of response and the exploratory endpoints will be analyzed with descriptive statistics only.
Currently, there is no standard of care for the treatment of patients with advanced, RAI-refractory DTC

Pahlsson on the road
Standout checking-line center Samuel Pahlsson will miss his 17th consecutive game Friday night when the Ducks take on the St. Louis Blues at Scottrade Center. When Pahlsson might return to the lineup remains uncertain.
In an attempt to get a better handle on the "abdominal inflammation" that has sidelined Pahlsson since Dec. 22, he is in Vancouver to see Rick Celebrini, a former professional soccer player, one of the founding physiotherapists of Soccer Science International and a sport-science consultant of the British Columbia Soccer Association's technical committee.
After receiving treatment from Celebrini, Pahlsson is scheduled to rejoin the Ducks on Saturday in Philadelphia and see Dr. William Meyers, who performed surgery on Pahlsson's sports hernia Sept. 5. After missing the season's opening five games, Pahlsson played in 33 in succession but recurring problems in the abdominal and groin areas have kept him out of the lineup since Christmas.
Ducks coach Randy Carlyle stopped short of calling Pahlsson's visit to Celebrini a "cure-all," referring to it instead as "part of the rehabilitation process." How much longer that process will require is anyone's guess.
