DEERFIELD, Ill. -- Chicago Bulls forward Tyrus Thomas, who broke his left forearm last month during a weight-room training session, has returned to practice.
The fourth-year forward, who hasn't played since Nov. 5, is participating in non-contact and shooting drills.
"Just practicing a little bit, no contact yet," Bulls coach Vinny Del Negro said after the team's shootaround Thursday morning. "He'll still just trying to get in condition all week, and then hopefully his contact will start next week."
When asked if Monday was a probable date for Thomas to start fully participating in practice, Del Negro said: "I don't know yet. I just got to see what the doctors and trainers say. It's kind of a daily update. He's been doing well and he's been doing some of our shooting drills and our non-contact stuff."
As for the rest of his team, Del Negro said that everyone else is scheduled to play Thursday night against the New York Knicks. Derrick Rose and Joakim Noah received pain-killing injections Tuesday night and Kirk Hinrich (elbow, finger, ankle) has been battling several injuries
"We've got some guys banged up, but we'll be ready to play" Del Negro said. "They all got their little nagging injuries, but everybody's a go as of right now."
Nick Friedell covers the Bulls for ESPNChicago.com.

Samsung NX3000 Digital Camera Review
With great performance and a low price, Samsung's latest smart camera is a smart buy.
For all its clout in the mobile world, Samsung's NX line of interchangeable lens cameras hasn't had nearly as much success as the company's Galaxy smartphones. Though Samsung cameras have been selling well—specifically the Galaxy-branded Android cameras and last year's NX300—the company has yet to hit the tipping point where Samsung becomes as well known for cameras as it is for, well, everything else electronic in your life.
Last year, the company seemed to finally be on the verge of such a moment with the NX300. For the first time, Samsung put its vertical integration to perfect use, producing a camera that was fast, performed excellently, and costed less than most of the competition. After some more bold experiments, Samsung seems to be returning to the formula that made the NX300 such a success.
Meet the Samsung NX3000 (MSRP $529.99)—a budget mirrorless interchangeable lens camera with enough under the hood to satisfy even very demanding photographers. With an excellent 20-megapixel sensor, a lightning-quick processor, and an easy-to-use interface, the NX3000 strikes a fine balance between entry-level usability, high-end performance, and cutting costs without feeling cheap.
Design & Handling
Samsung's selfie monster
Recycling the design cues from other recent NX models, the NX3000 is pretty easily mistaken for the NX2000 or NX300. The two-tone exterior continues here, with a mix of silver and black with a faux-leather wrap encasing an entirely plastic body. The camera isn't pocketable, but it's thin enough to slip into a small bag and light enough to be forgotten when you don't need it out.
The first thing you'll notice when you pick up the NX3000 is that despite the metal-looking exterior, it's actually all plastic. Though this look was widely panned when used on Samsung's Galaxy S5 smartphone, here it is actually quite nice. The body feels underweight if you're used to a higher-end DSLR, but for beginners it's a good weight and feels sturdy in your hand. From the tactility of the shutter release and the solid mode dial to the forceful and loud shutter, most everything about this camera is satisfying to use. Really, the only sore spots are the inconsistent response of the control wheel encircling the directional pad, and the battery door that swings open seemingly without cause.
For novices and experts alike, the NX3000's menus are chock-full of features and options—sometimes to the point of confusion. For example, some options are hidden or have odd knock-on effects; enabling HDR feature means you can't shoot at ISO 100, for instance, and using any drive mode with JPEG shooting will lock you into default noise reduction. These are minor issues, however, and nothing you can't adjust to over time.
Borrowing the "selfie-swivel" design from the NX300M and NX Mini, the LCD on the NX3000 can be flipped up all the way to face your subject, allowing you to take self-shots with ease. This is great for framing group photos if you don't want to entrust your new toy with a stranger. Our only complaint with the screen is that it doesn't tilt down at all, so if you want to frame with the camera held over your head, you actually have to turn it upside down.
Overall the NX3000 is pleasing to shoot, even for long stretches of time. Best of all, Samsung seems to have retreated a bit from the touch-centric interface on some of its other cameras, opting for more physical control here. There's only a single control dial on back, but it does double-duty as a four-way pad for navigating menus and there's a physical mode dial as well. It's not more than what you get with most full-size entry-level DSLRs, but we're pleased to see practicality win out given Samsung's propensity for going with touchscreen-only, minimalist devices.
Samsung has a history of cramming as much as it can into a small plastic body.
When we first got a chance to play with the NX3000, it felt like a more-refined, slightly pared down version of the NX300. After spending some more time with the camera, our opinion hasn't changed. This thing has almost all of the same features, but in a smaller, lighter, (slightly slower) plastic body. The touchscreen has been eliminated in favor of this articulating unit, but this is still a very capable camera with features to satisfy novices, enthusiasts, creative beginners, and experts alike.
It's an added bonus that Samsung cameras are currently shipped with Adobe's Lightroom software. Though you'll need to update once you get it installed to squeeze the most out of your camera, developing RAW photos in Lightroom gives you far more latitude than any photo you'll get straight from the camera. Lightroom also works with basically every digital camera on the market, so learning to use it is a huge benefit in the long run as you get better at photography. It normally costs between $75 and $100 on its own, so getting it for free is a heck of a deal.
Like other recent Samsung "Smart" cameras, the NX3000 features built-in WiFi. If you're a social shutterbug, you can use the included NFC antenna and Samsung app to pair your smartphone with the NX3000. Once open, you can shoot remotely (no zooming), or transfer files from your camera's microSD card. It's not as simple as shooting directly on your phone, but this is also a vastly superior camera to anything you'll find in a smartphone.
The NX3000 also gives users a physical mode dial for changing between the various shooting modes on the camera. Though beginners will be inclined to just use the auto modes, there's quite a bit here for everyone, including full PASM manual control modes. There's also special detents for scene modes, WiFi sharing, and panorama shooting. Though you'll likely do most of your shooting in one of the auto or manual modes (depending on your skill level) all these extras make shooting with the NX3000 a much easier experience for new photographers.
If there's one thing that's still holding Samsung's cameras back, it's a lack of lens selection to pair with the cameras. This is far more likely to be a concern for advanced shooters who will build a library of lenses, but Samsung's lens roadmap is the cloudiest of all the major camera manufacturers. For beginners, that's not really a big deal. There are more than enough NX lenses that provide a big step up from the kit lens, with smaller "pancake" options that provide great image quality and preserve the compact nature of the camera. And if you want to get a little more advanced, Samsung's 60mm f/2.8 Macro and 85mm f/1.4 portrait lenses are just superb. Just be prepared for a little sticker shock before making an investment.

Considering just how well this camera's predecessors handled our lab tests, we were expecting quite a lot out of the NX3000. And despite a few hiccups, it didn't disappoint. Yes, this is mostly a camera for novices and those on a budget, but the NX3000's guts are on par with some of the best models Samsung has churned out yet. It may have a plastic shell, but the NX3000 is serious business on the inside.
To start with, that 16-50mm f/3.5-5.6 kit lens is tack sharp for a kit lens. It's not the best lens in the world—the maximum aperture is only f/3.5 so in very low light you may still wind up with grainy images—but for a kit lens on a camera this inexpensive, it's great. We still recommend you upgrade to a better lens to go with the NX3000, but this one is at least a good start.
The test results for still photos are, quite frankly, fantastic. Specifically, the camera does extremely well with dynamic range. You've seen pictures with poor dynamic range before—when you've come across a photo and get annoyed with how little contrast or detail there is in shadows, you're seeing an image ruined by lackluster DR. Dynamic range is what typically separates a disappointing smartphone photo from one taken with a DSLR, so the NX3000 distinguishes itself here.
Colors are also very accurate and noise is kept to a minimum thanks to a very intelligent, subtle noise reduction system that is a serious boon for JPEG shooters. If you don't have the time or inclination to develop RAW photos, the shots right out of the camera are great through ISO 3200, falling off from there. The one big gap between the NX3000 and its elder, more expensive NX300 is shot-to-shot speed. The NX3000 only managed around five frames per second. It's not bad—most entry-level DSLRs are about the same—but the NX300 managed over eight frames per second, so this is a big step down.
One area where the NX3000 truly stands as little more than an entry-level camera is video. It's passable, but it's nothing to write home about. It can shoot 1080/30p, with decent quality and not as much control as we usually see in higher-end cameras. In the lab we found that sharpness was merely average, with heavy strobing in high frequency patterns—you're likely to find video of moving bikes and screens to be a little headache-inducing.
Of course, all of this still adds up to one heck of a good value. It's worth reiterating that the NX3000 is not just an entry-level camera; it's an entry-level camera that's cheaper than almost all of its competitors. Of 2014 models only the Sony A3000, the Canon T5, and Samsung's own NX Mini truly beat it in terms of price, and quite frankly this is a better camera—pure and simple. You can get more performance if you're willing to step up in price, but if you've got right around $500 to spare the NX3000 should be on your shortlist.
Great for beginners and won't break the bank
The NX3000 isn't a difficult camera to describe: it's good, and it's cheap. If that's what you're in the market for, it's absolutely worth considering. And with sale prices under $500 it's basically a steal. It's not as fast or full-featured as the NX300 from a couple of years ago, but it's nearly as good and starts at a much lower price.
Despite being entry-level, the NX3000 doesn't feel cheap. It's plastic, but it's lightweight and sturdy in a way that cameras like the Sony A3000 aren't. The plastic frame doesn't bend when you go to push a button in, the articulating LCD doesn't feel like it's about to snap off, and you don't feel like you're going to break it every time you pick it up. That's actually not all that common for cameras at this price point, as even "traditional" DSLRs like the Canon T5 feel pretty chintzy in your hand.
Of course, a great-feeling camera that takes junky photos isn't worth anything. In the lab the NX3000 certainly carried on the torch that was lit by the NX300. It punches well above its weight, with great dynamic range, acceptably quick shot-to-shot speed, sharp photos, and good low light image quality for this part of the market. Video isn't the best and there's no electronic viewfinder, but for an MSRP right around $500, we can't complain.
If you're in the market for an entry-level camera the closest competitors are the Olympus E-PM2, the Sony A3000, the Nikon J4, the Nikon D3300, and the Canon T5. The Nikon J4 and Olympus E-PM2 are good cameras that are smaller than the NX3000, but they don't perform quite as well overall. The J4 is much faster at capturing action, but it struggles in low light. The E-PM2 is a great value as it can be found for $300 and under, but it's available at that price because it's being discontinued after a year on the market.
The Sony A3000 offers an electronic viewfinder and a more DSLR-style body for less money, but it feels every bit as cheap as it is and gets outperformed by the NX3000. The Nikon D3300 and the Canon T5 are both traditional DSLRs in that they have optical viewfinders and bigger, chunky bodies. The Canon T5 is working with technology from four years ago, though, so we don't recommend it. The Nikon D3300 puts up a sterner fight and outperforms the NX3000 in most areas—especially video—but it's a bigger camera due to its optical viewfinder.
The NX3000 certainly has its drawbacks, of course. But compared to the field it's affordable, performs well, and doesn't feel like a bargain-bin camera. It's one of the best entry-level cameras we've tested this year and budget shooters of all skill levels should give it serious consideration.

The Urals and Western Siberia in the Bronze and Iron Agesby Ludmila Koryakova, Andrej Epimakhov
Pub. Date: 12/28/2006
Publisher: Cambridge University Press
This book is the first synthesis of the archaeology of the Urals and Western Siberia. It presents a comprehensive overview of the late prehistoric cultures of these regions, which are of key importance for the understanding of long-term changes in Eurasia. At the crossroads of Europe and Asia, the Urals and Western Siberia are characterized by great environmental and cultural diversity which is reflected in the variety and richness of their archaeological sites. Based on the latest achievements of Russian archaeologists, this study demonstrates the temporal and geographical range of its subjects starting with a survey of the chronological sequence from the late fourth millennium BC to the early first millennium AD. Recent discoveries contribute to an understanding of issues such as the development of Eurasian metallurgy, technological and ritual innovations, pastoral nomadism and its role in Eurasian interactions, and major sociocultural fluctuations of the Bronze and Iron Ages.

Wooden Shjips
This epic San Francisco quartet take in a vast array of retro sounds, from experimental psychedelia, Krautrock and garage to spaced out drone rock. Fronted by Erik 'Ripley' Johnson, their influences fall somewhere between the lo-fi fuzz of Suicide and Spacemen 3 battling with the Velvet Underground and the Doors. "A Psych-rock groove, a jerky Can-ish beat with organ and distorted guitar and indecipherable vocals lurking like the ghost in a machine. Rarely has trance-rock's hypnotic heart beat as persuasively." (4 stars) - The Independent

No i like to see all teams do well and have a high standard of competition and not just the one driver and one team that the new f1 fans cannot see past also the press are on f1 more than ever and people believe everything they read.
I like all teams especialy past ones the likes of lotus,tyrrell and minardi but i find it ironic that so many italians couldn't have cared less about what was originaly another italian team.
please look at the history of how rival teams and drivers are treated when they have raced in italy by non sporting fans that hate drivers that do not drive a ferrari.
and why the san marino gp is in italy(2 ferrari home races)showes alot as it is up there with the european gp(2 german races)why this cannot be rotated about to help promote the sport in other countrys - look at donnington 1993 it was a classic and other tracks that are used for races like leguna seca,road america kylami and others that could be improved and host a race like mexico but i feel f1 is forgeting it's roots and going were bernie likes.

Why N.Y. Mets Should Avoid Donning Santa's Suit
The Santa suit is cursed, according to The Wall Street Journal. Consider these former Santa Mets: Center-fielder Mike Cameron got badly injured, right-fielder Jeff Francoeur was traded and pitcher John Maine's career tanked. The list stretches back a decade.
Good morning, I'm David Greene.
Here's why most New York Mets avoid standing-in for Santa at the team holiday party. According to The Wall Street Journal, the Santa suit is cursed. Consider these former Santa Mets: Center-fielder Mike Cameron got badly injured, right-fielder Jeff Francoeur was traded, pitcher John Maine, career tanked. The list stretches back a decade.
But second baseman Daniel Murphy is tempting fate. This year, he donned Santa's red suit for a second time. After the first, his batting average dropped, though just a little bit.

Regulatory Alert
FDA Warning/Regulatory Alert
Note from the National Guideline Clearinghouse: This guideline references a drug(s) for which important revised regulatory and/or warning information has been released.
- March 22, 2016 – Opioid pain medicines : The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is warning about several safety issues with the entire class of opioid pain medicines. These safety risks are potentially harmful interactions with numerous other medications, problems with the adrenal glands, and decreased sex hormone levels. They are requiring changes to the labels of all opioid drugs to warn about these risks.
Major Recommendations
Note from the National Guideline Clearinghouse (NGC) and the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO): In planning the 2011 update, ASCO changed the scope of the guidelines to reflect changes in the field since the previous guideline. Reflecting the Update Committee's anticipation that data on new types of agents, including osteoclast inhibitors, may be available for future updates of this guideline, this guideline uses the term bone-modifying agents. The terminology in Recommendations 1, 2, 4, 6, and 7 has been changed from bisphosphonate to bone-modifying agent. The recommendations within the guideline focus on the drugs denosumab, zoledronic acid, and pamidronate because they are currently available in the United States.
Six of the recommendations are substantively the same as in the 2003 guidelines for bone-modifying agents for metastatic breast cancer. The current guideline has added a new recommendation regarding osteonecrosis of the jaw (ONJ), a condition recognized after the preparation of the 2003 guidelines. This guideline on metastatic breast cancer also reviews data on a new bone-modifying agent, denosumab. In contrast with the previous version, this guideline now focuses solely on patients with evidence of bone metastases. (See Table 1, "Summary of the 2011 Recommendations" in the original guideline document for more detailed information.)
Clinical Question 1
What are the indications for using bone-modifying agents to reduce the risk of skeletal-related events (SREs) in patients with metastatic breast cancer? When is the best time to initiate treatment with bone-modifying agents?
Recommendation 1. For patients with breast cancer who have evidence of bone metastases, denosumab 120 mg subcutaneously every 4 weeks, intravenous (IV) pamidronate 90 mg delivered over no less than 2 hours, or zoledronic acid 4 mg over no less than 15 minutes every 3 to 4 weeks is recommended. Starting bone-modifying agents in women with an abnormal bone scan and an abnormal computed tomography scan or magnetic resonance imaging showing bone destruction, but normal plain radiographs, is considered reasonable by Panel consensus based on the findings in women with lytic or mixed lytic/blastic changes on plain radiographs. Starting bone-modifying agents in women with only an abnormal bone scan but without evidence of bone destruction on radiographs, computed tomography scans, or magnetic resonance imaging is not recommended outside of a clinical trial. There is insufficient evidence relating to efficacy to support one bone-modifying agent over another.
Clinical Question 2
What is the role of bone-modifying agents in the presence of extraskeletal metastases without evidence of bone metastases?
Recommendation 2. Starting bone-modifying agents in women without evidence of bone metastases even in the presence of other extraskeletal metastases is not recommended. This clinical situation has been inadequately studied using IV bisphosphonates or other bone-modifying agents and should be the focus of new clinical trials.
Clinical Question 3A
What are the renal safety concerns of bone-modifying agent therapy?
Recommendation 3A. In patients with a calculated serum creatinine clearance of more than 60 mL/min, no change in dosage, infusion time, or interval of pamidronate or zoledronic acid administration is required. Use of bone-modifying agents among patients with reduced renal function has been incompletely assessed. The packet insert of zoledronic acid provides guidance for dosing when baseline serum creatinine clearance is ≥30 and less than 60 mL/min. Infusion times less than 2 hours with pamidronate or less than 15 minutes with zoledronic acid should be avoided. The Panel recommends that serum creatinine be monitored before each dose of pamidronate or zoledronic acid, in accordance with U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved labeling. Serum calcium, electrolytes, phosphate, magnesium, and hematocrit/hemoglobin should also be monitored regularly. The risk of hypocalcemia with denosumab dosed at 120 mg every 4 weeks has not been evaluated in patients with a creatinine clearance less than 30 mL/min or receiving dialysis. Monitor for hypocalcemia in patients with impaired creatinine clearance. There is no evidence to guide the interval for monitoring serum calcium, electrolytes, phosphate, magnesium, and hematocrit/hemoglobin in patients on denosumab, pamidronate, or zoledronic acid.
Clinical Question 3B
What are the osteonecrosis of the jaw (ONJ) safety concerns of bone-modifying agent therapy?
Recommendation 3B. ONJ is an uncommon but potentially serious condition associated with the use of bone-modifying agents. The Update Committee concurs with the revised FDA label for zoledronic acid and pamidronate and the FDA label for denosumab and recommends that all patients with cancer receive a dental examination and necessary preventive dentistry prior to initiating therapy with inhibitors of osteoclast function unless there are mitigating factors that preclude the dental assessment. These recommendations should be observed whenever possible. While receiving inhibitors of osteoclast function, patients should maintain optimal oral hygiene and, if possible, avoid invasive dental procedures that involve manipulation of the jaw bone or periosteum. Although most cases of ONJ have occurred in patients treated with IV bisphosphonates and bone-modifying agents who underwent an invasive dental procedure, cases have occurred spontaneously and have been reported in patients treated with other bone-modifying agents, including oral bisphosphonates and direct osteoclast inhibitors.
Clinical Question 4
What is the optimal duration of bone-modifying agent therapy for patients with metastatic breast cancer?
Recommendation 4. The Panel suggests that, once initiated, bone-modifying agents should be continued until evidence of substantial decline in a patient's general performance status. The Panel stresses that clinical judgment must guide what constitutes a substantial decline. There is no evidence addressing the consequences of stopping bone-modifying agents after one or more adverse SREs.
Clinical Question 5
What are the best intervals between dosing?
Recommendation 5. For patients with breast cancer who have evidence of bone destruction on plain radiographs, denosumab 120 mg subcutaneously every 4 weeks, IV pamidronate 90 mg delivered over 2 hours, or zoledronic acid 4 mg over 15 minutes every 3 to 4 weeks is recommended.
Clinical Question 6
What is the role of bone-modifying agents in control of pain secondary to bone metastases?
Recommendation 6. The Panel recommends that the current standards of care for cancer bone pain management be applied at the onset of pain, in concert with the initiation of bone-modifying agent therapy. This is required by good clinical practice. The standard of care for pain management includes the use of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory agents, opioid and nonopioid analgesics, corticosteroids, adjuvant agents, interventional procedures, systemic radiopharmaceuticals, local radiation therapy, and surgery. Bone-modifying agents are an adjunctive therapy for cancer-related bone pain control and are not recommended as first-line treatment for cancer-related pain. IV pamidronate or zoledronic acid may be of benefit for patients with pain caused by bone metastases and contribute to pain relief when used concurrently with analgesic therapy, systemic chemotherapy, radiation therapy, and/or hormonal therapy. Bone-modifying agents have been associated with a modest pain control benefit in controlled trials.
Clinical Question 7
What is the role of biochemical markers of bone turnover to guide initiation of therapy in patients without a prior skeletal event, predict treatment response, guide adjustments to bone-modifying agent therapy, or independently predict future fractures?
Recommendation 7. The use of the biochemical markers to monitor bone-modifying agent use is not recommended for routine care.
Special Commentary on the Role of Vitamin D Deficiency and Bone-Modifying Agents
In the absence of definitive data, it is the Update Committee's expert consensus that if there are no contraindications to calcium and vitamin D supplementation, then patients receiving bone-modifying agents should receive them at doses and schedules similar to those used in the clinical trials of the bone-modifying agents, both to support bone health and decrease the risk of bisphosphonate-induced hypocalcemia. U.S. health authorities generally recommend a minimum consumption of vitamin D of 200 U (5 µg) a day. For the prevention and treatment of osteoporosis in adults, vitamin D 800 U daily is often recommended.

Description of Methods Used to Collect/Select the Evidence
Literature Search Strategy
For this guideline, computerized literature searches of MEDLINE and the Cochrane Collaboration Library were conducted. Searches of the English-language literature from January 2003 to July 15, 2009, were conducted to address each of the original guideline questions; additional searches on biochemical markers of bone turnover (August 28, 2009) and on osteonecrosis of the jaw (ONJ) (March 16, 2010) were conducted. A supplemental search limited to randomized controlled trials (RCTs) on efficacy and case-control or cohort studies on adverse events was conducted on November 11, 2010. Search terms included the following: "breast neoplasms," "metastasis," "bone density conservation agents," "diphosphonates," and "biologic markers." Additional terms included generic and brand names of bone-modifying agents. Searches for efficacy outcomes were limited to published phase III RCTs, systematic reviews, and meta-analyses. For adverse events, the search was broadened to include observational studies because some adverse events of bone-modifying agents are rare. The Update Committee recognized these data as not as significant as data from comparative studies. For biomarker studies, reports were examined of prospective studies or retrospective analyses of prospectively collected samples with prospective aspects. The literature search terms are available in Data Supplement 4. A summary of the literature search results is provided in a QUORUM diagram in Data Supplement 5. Update Committee members provided additional references from personal files. (See the "Availability of Companion Documents" field for data supplements.)
Inclusion and Exclusion Criteria
Articles were selected for inclusion if they met the following criteria: participants had metastatic breast cancer and participants were randomly assigned to receive a bone-modifying agent or placebo or an alternative intervention. Outcome measures for efficacy and adverse event studies included at least one of the following: skeletal-related events (SREs) and time to SRE, adverse events, pain, and quality of life (see Definition of Terms in the original guideline document).
Number of Source Documents
A total of 54 articles were included for data extraction
- 3 systematic reviews
- 14 randomized controlled trials (RCTs)
- 9 pooled/subset/secondary analyses of RCTs
- 26 cohort/case-control studies
- 1 other

Data Extraction
Relevant articles were selected and reviewed, and one reviewer extracted the data. For each article meeting the inclusion criteria, data were extracted on patient characteristics, study design and quality, intervention, and outcomes. The primary articles and the extracted data were available to the Update Committee and were discussed during the teleconferences.
Study Quality and Limitations of the Literature
The definition of skeletal-relating event (SRE) was not uniform across all studies; for example, some studies excluded hypercalcemia of malignancy (HCM). In addition, different efficacy end points were used in different trials. There is a low incidence of some adverse events.
Methods Used to Formulate the Recommendations
Expert Consensus
Description of Methods Used to Formulate the Recommendations
The American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) convened the Update Committee to lead the 2011 update. The Update Committee met, via three teleconferences, on February 1, February 22, and November 23, 2010, to consider the evidence for each of the 2011 recommendations. A writing group of the Update Committee and ASCO staff drafted the guideline. The guideline was circulated in draft form to the Update Committee.

Benefits/Harms of Implementing the Guideline Recommendations
Potential Benefits
- Appropriate use of bone-modifying agents in metastatic breast cancer
- Intravenous (IV) pamidronate or zoledronic acid may be of benefit among women with pain caused by bone metastases to relieve pain when used concurrently with systemic chemotherapy and/or hormonal therapy, because it was associated with a modest pain control benefit in controlled trials.
Potential Harms
- Pamidronate and zoledronic acid are associated with renal deterioration, particularly in patients with pre-existing renal impairment and in patients who receive multiple cycles of bisphosphonate therapy. The incidence of renal deterioration associated with pamidronate (90 mg) or zoledronic acid (4 mg) ranged between 6.2% and 12%. New dosing guidelines for patients with pre-existing renal impairment were added to the zoledronic acid package insert in January 2005. These guidelines recommend a lower initial zoledronic acid dose (ranging from 3.0 to 3.5 mg) depending on the estimated creatinine clearance. No similar dosing guideline exists for pamidronate. Pamidronate and zoledronic acid should be withheld from patients developing renal deterioration. Once serum creatinine returns to within 10% of baseline, therapy can be resumed.
- Denosumab has been associated with statistically significantly less renal deterioration than zoledronic acid. In a study of denosumab versus zoledronic acid, renal toxicity occurred more frequently with zoledronic acid than denosumab. The denosumab packet insert states that patients with a creatinine clearance less than 30 mL/min or receiving dialysis are at a greater risk of severe hypocalcemia than patients with normal renal function. The Update Committee recommends monitoring of electrolytes and renal function on a regular basis during therapy with bone-modifying agents.
- Longer follow-up from the zoledronic acid versus pamidronate studies has not changed the 2003 guideline's conclusion that the safety of the two agents seems to be similar with respect to nonrenal adverse events. The new agent, denosumab, demonstrated similar rates of nausea and vomiting compared with bisphosphonates and lower rates of arthralgia and asthenia. Acute-phase reactions were reported with both bisphosphonates and denosumab, although at lower rates with the latter. No new reports of ocular adverse effects were identified within the parameters of this guideline's literature search.
- Osteonecrosis of the jaw (ONJ) has been seen in patients treated with denosumab. The population incidence/prevalence and the etiology of ONJ remain unknown. The FDA labeling of denosumab, pamidronate, and zoledronic acid advises that patients should maintain good oral hygiene and have preventive dental examinations before initiating therapy, as well as avoid invasive dental procedures whenever possible. If an invasive manipulation of the bone underlying the teeth is clinically indicated before starting bone-modifying agent therapy, initiation of bone-modifying agent therapy should be ideally delayed for 14 to 21 days to allow for wound healing, if the clinical situation permits. The incidence of ONJ specifically in women with breast cancer metastatic to the bone seems to range from approximately 2.5% to 8.8% in cohort studies.
Qualifying Statements
Qualifying Statements
The American Society of Clinical Oncology's (ASCO's) practice guidelines reflect expert consensus based on clinical evidence and literature available at the time they are written and are intended to assist physicians in clinical decision making and identify questions and settings for further research. Because of the rapid flow of scientific information in oncology, new evidence may have emerged since the time a guideline was submitted for publication. Guidelines are not continually updated and may not reflect the most recent evidence. Guidelines address only the topics specifically identified in the guideline and are not applicable to interventions, diseases, or stages of disease not specifically identified. Guidelines cannot account for individual variation among patients and cannot be considered inclusive of all proper methods of care or exclusive of other treatments. It is the responsibility of the treating physician or other health care provider, relying on independent experience and knowledge of the patient, to determine the best course of treatment for the patient. Accordingly, adherence to any guideline is voluntary, with the ultimate determination regarding its application to be made by the physician in light of each patient's individual circumstances and preferences. ASCO guidelines describe the use of procedures and therapies in clinical practice and cannot be assumed to apply to the use of these interventions in the context of clinical trials. ASCO assumes no responsibility for any injury or damage to persons or property arising out of or related to any use of ASCO guidelines or for any errors or omissions.

Enjoy a lifestyle escape in the tropics at the Sun, Sand & Sensuality Convention in South Padre Island, TX, scheduled for April 5-9, 2006! Imagine a beautiful tropical island with miles and miles of unspoiled beaches.
It lies in the sun beside the sparkling Gulf of Mexico where sunny beaches, inviting waters, friendly hospitality and exciting lifestyle activities will come together! It's not your imagination - it's the ideal escape to paradise for sensuous couples!
Go to the Convention website - TheRedDoorClub.com/convention, there you can register for the trip and make sure you put PlayersXchange in the space that says, "Where did you hear about this Convention?" It's that easy!
The convention is being presented by The Red Door, one of Texas' premier clubs, and they have exclusively reserved a premiere resort in Texas for this very special lifestyle convention! From sunrise to sunset, the island is the perfect playground for parasailing, horseback riding on the beach, dolphin watching, sailing, fishing, windsurfing, shopping, golf and of course, Playing, just to mention a few activities. As the day winds down with romantic sunsets over the Laguna Madre Bay, the evenings will come alive with dining, dancing, music and eroticism!
It's another return to the Stardust for an even better Lifestyles Convention. July 19-23, 2006
Watch for even more changes as we strive to give out attendees what they want. 2005 was so successful we're going back one more time
If you were among the throng of couples who enjoyed some or all of the 2005 Stardust Convention then you're going to love what's in store for you this year. We'll have lots more information shortly but get ready for a wild and crazy party
Two years ago, a lot of the couples who attended stayed at other hotels. Last year most of them stayed at the Stardust because they didn't want to miss out on a single event
The East Tower is exclusive for Lifestyles. It is the one closest to the Villa Pool and will sell out first. The West Tower, while not exclusively ours, offers some great Spa Suites and, in reality, is only a few steps further from our pool. Take a look at the rooms, then book the one you want
How Much does This Cost? No price Increase the Couples' price is the same as 2005 - $688. This includes all convention activities except the Couples Massage Workshop. An early bird discount for all SensualismParties Guest saves $100 per couple. That brings the package cost down to $588 per couple (hotel not included?) Click here To Book Today.
Back again for 2006, we've got even more Hosted Hospitality Suites scheduled Some of the clubs who'll be hosting either hospitality suites or after midnight pool parties already include: New Horizons, Seattle; Plato's Repeat, Florida; Red Rooster, Las Vegas; AfterMidnight, Texas; Freedom Acres, Southern California... And that's just for starters. Watch as the list and the parties develop.
Get Ready for 2006 Watch for the themes as we prepare for the 34th Annual Lifestyles Convention. This will be one heck of a party as we say hello and goodbye to the Stardust one last time before it gets razed for a mega casino hotel.
In 2005 those who were there saw a lot of small changes designed to provide the best convention experience for the most attendees. And, since we have more attendees than most of the others combined we've got a big job.
Look for even more fun and exciting changes. Some will be small some you'll notice right off. We want you to have a great time. We want you to go home at the end tired but happy. So many of our attendees over the years have commented about having their fantasies fulfilled. We hope you do too.
Pool Parties, of Course Lifestyles is famous for their pool parties. The resorts help make them special because so many of our attendees have vacationed with us at Hedonism, Desire and the others. Watch for some twists this year to help keep them fun and sexy
It'll be four days and four nights of pool parties, fun, contests, adults exhibits, interesting seminars, dancing, hosted parties and socializing with like-minded couples... now that's the place to be.
Click the banner for all of your Erotic travel plans. SensualismParties has your hook up on All the Hedo's, Desire, and every convention world wide. Check it out!

We stayed at this hotel for 3 nites. It is conveniently located near all the shops and restaurants and the Esplanade. The room was very comfortable. We liked their "self-service" laundromat. It allows us to keep up with our laundry. The staff was very personable and accomodating. If we were to visit Cairns again, we would certainly consider this hotel for our stay

Swami Premodaya is a spiritual master who works directly with all who are ready and willing to take the next step in finding themselves. After profound experiences of grace, personal healing, transcendent reality and spiritual awareness, his life's work shifted from psychology to spirituality.

FBI, prisons, U.S. Marshals see increases, while grants and wireless networks would be reduced
The Justice Department would get a 2 percent increase in fiscal 2012 for a budget of $28.2 billion under the White House's budget request today. More money would go to prosecuting and investigating crimes and financial fraud, but several technology programs would see cuts.
One of the programs on the chopping block is the decade-old Integrated Wireless Network program. Its budget would be halved to $103 million from $206
million in fiscal 2010. The reduction was necessary because the program has become increasingly outdated and costly, and new
technologies offer cheaper alternatives, White
House officials said.
"A range of alternatives now exist that were not available when the project was originally conceived," the Terminations, Reductions and Savings budget
document states. "These alternatives, alone or in combination with each
other and/or the current approach, can help accelerate delivery of
better communications capabilities, such as data, video and
applications, more cheaply." Officials are conducting an assessment on how to modify the program.
In addition, the Justice Information Sharing Technology account's funding would be decreased to $54 million from $95 million in fiscal
2010. The account covers automated booking and office systems and systems for sharing classified information, among others.
Justice agencies in line for more money include the Federal Prison System, up 10 percent to $6.8 billion; U.S. Marshals Service, up 9 percent to $1.3 billion; the FBI, up 4.2 percent to $8.1 billion; U.S. Attorneys, up 3 percent to $2 billion; and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, up 2 percent to $1.1 billion.
On the other hand, the Drug Enforcement Administration would get a 2 percent cut, reducing its budget to $2 billion. And the Office of Justice Programs, which oversees grants to communities, would see its funding reduced to $3 billion, a drop of 17 percent.
To achieve that reduction, the administration is targeting congressional earmarks in the grant programs. The 2010 enacted appropriation for Justice's grant components included 1,312 earmarks totaling more than $470 million.
"Not only does the budget not propose to continue such funding, the president has announced his intent to veto any appropriation containing earmarks," the budget documents state.
