Ranji Trophy: Railways tottering at 164/8 against Assam (Roundup)November 11th, 2010 - 11:10 pm ICT by IANS
New Delhi, Nov 11 (IANS) Railways bowled out Assam for 187 but were themselves tottering at 164/8 in the first innings on the second day of the Ranji Trophy Elite division here Thursday.
Resuming at 174 for seven, Assam folded up adding only 13 runs with Sanjay Bangar (3-21) claiming two wickets.
Railways, however, were in deep trouble after being reduced to 33 for four with pacers Dhiraj Goswami (4-43) and Ranjitkumar Mali (2-21) scything through the top order. T.P. Singh ressurrected Railways innings briefly, scoring 41.
At stumps, Kulamani Parida (30) and Jai Prakash Yadav (30) were battling to gain the crucial first innings lead.
At Chennai, Delhi seized the initiative and held the upper hand as they pegged Tamil Nadu to 122 for five at stumps on the second day.
Tamil Nadu, who did well in the morning by dismissing Delhi (overnight 258 for three) for 318, were themselves in deep trouble after losing wickets at regular intervals as 17-year-old left-arm spinner Vikas Mishra picked up three for 22.
The hosts were off to a poor start, losing in-form opener Abhinav Mukund in the very second over. Later, Tamil Nadu suffered a mini collapse as Mishra struck.
Standing tall amidst the ruins was the experienced Subramaniam Badrinath who was unbeaten on 45 at stumps and much of Tamil Nadu hopes on the morrow rest on the former captain.
Badrinath and night watchman Chandrasekar Ganapathy (14 not out) added 40 runs for the sixth wicket to guide Tamil Nadu from a precarious 82 for five to 122 at close.
Earlier, centurion Virat Kohli's dismissal brought about a swift end to the Delhi innings as off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin came away with five wickets. In a spell of 8.1 overs, Ashwin grabbed four wickets as Delhi collapsed from 295 for three to 318 all out.
Brief scores:
At Mumbai, Bengal vs Mumbai: Mumbai 621/8 declared (Ajinkya Rahane 110, Rohit Sharma not out 200, Wasim Jaffer 73; Manoj Tiwary 2-68, Saurashish Lahiri 2-128) Bengal 28/1 (Shreevats Goswami batting 15, Aavishkar Salvi 1-2)

HAMISH MCRAE: If people don't understand interest rates, they will end up in debt
There is a national financial emergency and it has nothing to do with Brexit, low productivity or any of the other things that economists fuss about. It is that many people don't understand how to handle their money wisely.
Ben Broadbent, deputy governor of the Bank of England, was talking last week at a conference in London entitled 'Helping children and young people learn about money'.
The most troubling bit of his message was that we are particularly bad at managing our finances. He quoted a study by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development that found in the UK financial literacy – the ability to answer relatively straightforward financial questions – was lower than in other advanced economies.
Ben Broadbent, deputy governor of the Bank of England
And another study showed that fewer than half of adults in the UK, and barely a third of teenagers, knew what an interest rate was. If you don't understand interest rates you are liable to run up debts you cannot afford.
Some 7 per cent of households say they are very concerned about their debts, and we know that financial worries are associated with anxiety, depression and other mental health issues.
'The more cash-strapped people feel,' he said, 'the more prone they are to taking decisions that make the situation worse.'
So what's to be done?
The Bank of England has made a start. As Broadbent explained, it has an outreach plan, where its staff visit secondary schools, explaining what the Bank does. And last year it launched online materials for schools to teach the practical aspects of finance. A similar exercise for primaries is on its way later this year.
While teaching about money in schools is important, we have to start in the home, says McRae
Here at newspapers we try to help with our personal finance sections, writing both about savings and debt. But inevitably our readers are people already interested in financial matters – that is why they come to our pages. The challenge is getting people who are not interested in money to grasp the basics.
I'm worried it will get worse. The shift to a cashless society brings many benefits, from reducing the scope for certain types of crime to the convenience of paying for a coffee with your phone. But by disconnecting transactions from coins and notes, we don't really see the money going out. And a minus on a bank account is somehow different from not having enough cash in a purse or wallet.
I can see three broad ways forward. First, we have to stop being snooty about money: people thinking it is smart to say they don't really understand it, and slagging off the (admittedly flawed) financial services sector.
Second, while teaching about money in schools is important, we have to start in the home. Is there a piggy bank for every child? Do parents explain how much things cost? Pay children for odd jobs, such as washing the car?
And third, I think we have to be better at encouraging people to look to the future. Broadbent noted that people focus too much on present, urgent needs, and neglect things that are more important over the long-term. Auto-enrolment in pensions is a good example of nudging people to do something they might otherwise neglect.
The big point here is that the more fluid our work patterns, and the greater the pressure on Government finances, the more we will have to rely on ourselves. Our society must attack financial illiteracy in a variety of ways, just as we have discouraged smoking and reduced road deaths over a generation. We have made a start, but there is so much more to be done.
Allan Leighton makes a number of good points in the interview, the key one being that delay over Brexit is stifling investment. Whatever you think about the issue, uncertainty is never good.
What is particularly worrying is the way this uncertainty is coinciding with bad news from the rest of the world. I'm not so worried about the UK slowdown, though the past couple of months are discouraging. More worrying is what is happening in Germany and the rest of the eurozone, where people are now talking of a lost decade. The US remains a beacon of growth, but the world economy cannot fly on one engine alone – or at least not for long.

I'm trying to put a json in a javascript file in java, but when I write the json to a string, the string doesn't appear to be a valid json for javascript; it is missing some escapes. (This is happening in a string in the json which I formatted as a faux json.)
For example, this would be a valid json in my javascript file:
"the following books failed: [{\"book\": \"The Horse and his Boy\",\"author\": \"C.S. Lewis\"}, {\"book\": \"The Left Hand of Darkness\",\"author\": \"Ursula K. le Guin\"}, ]"
Here's what I get, though, where the double quotes aren't escaped:
"The following books failed: [{"book": "The Horse and his Boy","author": "C.S. Lewis"}, {"book": "The Left Hand of Darkness","author": "Ursula K. le Guin"}, ]"
I get the second result when I do this:
new ObjectMapper().writer().writeValueAsString(booksMessage);
But when I write it directly to a file with jackson, I get the first, good result:
new ObjectMapper().writer().writeValue(fileToWriteTo, booksMessage);
So why does jackson escape differently when writing to a file, and how do I get it to escape like that for me when writing to a string?

What Is Kaolin Clay: Tips On Using Kaolin Clay In The Garden
Do you have a problem with birds eating your tender fruit such as grapes, berries, apples, peaches, pears or citrus? A solution may be an application of Kaolin clay. So, you inquire, "What is Kaolin clay?" Keep reading to learn more about using Kaolin clay on fruit trees and other plants.
What Is Kaolin Clay?
A clue to answer the question "What is Kaolin clay?" is that it is also referred to as "China clay." Kaolin clay is used in the manufacture of fine porcelain and china and also instrumental in the production of paper, paint, rubber and heat resistant materials.
Arising from the Chinese for Kau-ling or "high ridge" in reference to a hill in China where the pure clay was first mined by Jesuit missionaries around 1700, Kaolin clay's uses today extend to Kaolin clay in the garden.
Kaolin Clay in the Garden
The use of Kaolin clay in the garden has been found to control insect pests and disease as well as protecting against sunburn or heat stress and may enhance fruit color too.
A natural mineral, Kaolin clay insect control works by creating a barrier film by covering the leaves and fruit with a white powdery film, which adheres and irritates insects, thereby eliminating their scavenging on fruit or leaves. Using Kaolin clay on fruit trees and plants helps repel many types of insects such as grasshoppers, leafrollers, mites, thrips, some moth varieties, psylla, flea beetles and Japanese beetles.
Using Kaolin clay insect control will also reduce the number of damaging birds by leaving them no delicious bugs to munch on and, hopefully, cancelling out the use of bird nets.
Kaolin clay for plants can either be obtained from a pottery clay supplier or as a product called Surround WP, which is then mixed with liquid soap and water prior to application.
How to Use Kaolin Clay for Plants
To use Kaolin clay for plants, it must be mixed thoroughly and applied via a sprayer with continuous agitation, spraying the plants liberally. Fruit must be washed prior to eating and Kaolin clay insect control must be applied before the pests arrive. Kaolin clay in the garden can be used up to the day of harvest.
The following information will help with mixing Kaolin clay for plants (or follow manufacturer's instructions):
- Mix 1 quart of Kaolin clay (Surround) and 1 tablespoon liquid soap with 2 gallons of water.
- Reapply Kaolin clay for plants every 7 to 21 days for at least four weeks.
- Kaolin clay insect control should occur within three applications as long as sufficient and uniform spray has been achieved.
A nontoxic material, application of Kaolin clay in the garden does not seem to impact honeybee activity or other beneficial insects integral to healthy fruit trees or other food plants.
Kaolin clay: Pest control the old-fashioned way
Yew Dell Botanical Gardens Updated 7:58 AM EDT Jul 18, 2014
Pest control in the Kentucky vegetable garden sometimes seems like a Cold War-era arms race. Just when you get ahead of one problem, another ruby-throated ninja stem annihilator (don't worry … this is a made-up pest!) emerges on the horizon.
Sometimes it seems that it would be easier to just chuck the whole thing and take up tennis for the remainder of the summer. But other times there emerges a reminder that simple and low tech can provide some answers. Such is the case with kaolin clay.
Use of kaolin clay and other mineral elements has been practiced for more than 2,000 years. Taking a nod from observations of animals taking dust baths to rid themselves of insect pests, both the ancient Chinese and Egyptians used various minerals and dusts as crop protectants.
Kaolin clay is a naturally occurring soil mineral that is harvested, pulverized and packaged for application to fruit and vegetable crops. It repels, irritates, discourages and annoys a wide range of insects and also reduces fungal disease.
In some instances it has been shown to help reduce sunburn on crops and in areas of intense sun (particularly in the Southwest) has been shown to result in a net increase in crop photosynthesis. Sounds kinda like aspirin for the garden. And it just may be that good.
For the last several weeks, Maggie Dana, a Middlebury College student participating in Louisville's FoodWorks internship program, has been working at Yew Dell Botanical Gardens. She is interested in food production and organic gardening and has been working with kaolin clay this summer with excellent results.
When asked about the benefits of the clay, Dana responded, "One of the great things about using the kaolin clay is that you don't have to use nasty chemicals and spray suits to apply the material."
Indeed, the clay, mixed with a little detergent to help it flow and stick to the leaves, is no more toxic than a handful of clean soil.
"The other nice thing is that it's easy to see when you have to reapply the clay," Dana added. The dried clay leaves a white film on the leaves. And since it is easily washed off by rain and needs to be applied to new leaves as plants grow, constant application is required.
Application of the kaolin spray requires strict attention to detail. One leaf missed, even the lower surface, leaves an open window for pests. And considering the long list of voracious pests that attack some veggies in the garden, you have to plan to be out there regularly (Dana recommends every two weeks without rain washing off the clay) and immediately after a heavy rain so as not to leave that window open even a crack.
Of course, the clay sprays don't mix well with overhead irrigation. Drip irrigation avoids having your overhead irrigation water washing the clay off the leaves.
Yew Dell's garden manager, Ann Mattingly, says that this has been a banner year in Yew Dell's vegetable plantings. She assigns the lack of pest problems this year primarily to use of the kaolin clay.
Knocking on a nearby wooden garden bench, she said, "This has been the best year we've had in the vegetable garden since I've been here," as she looked over her shoulder for one of those ruby-throated ninja stem annihilators.
Kaolin clay is available from a variety of garden centers and farm supply sources locally and online.

There aren't many things that we spray at LaFarm. But in the wake of the storm it is more important than usual for us to do everything we can to protect our plants from any further damage. That's why right now, when the worst of the pests are around, we're protecting our most vulnerable crops with Kaolin Clay.
Kaolin Clay is a completely organic substance, it is in fact a finely ground clay powder. When mixed with water, Kaolin Clay can be sprayed on plants to coat them in this powder, which (with an effectiveness that surprised me) confuses pests, who confusedly find that instead of a tasty eggplant leaf, they've landed on a weird clay bush. This way, it doesn't actually kill anything or disrupt the ecosystem, it just protects the plants you spray it on.
Kaolin Clay is not completely effective for all plants against all pests, but it's definitely effective enough that we spray our squash (especially young transplants) to protect against cucumber beetles or squash bugs, our eggplant to protect against flea beetles, Colorado potato beetles or anything else that might want a munch on them, and on a few others like Brussels Sprouts.
Stirring Kaolin Clay solution with the broken handle of an old digging fork.
To use Kaolin Clay, you first need to mix it with water. We go for the Surround brand Kaolin Clay, which calls for 3 cups of Clay to be mixed with every 1 gallon of water. We put the Clay in a bucket and then add water and stir until the Clay is mixed enough that it doesn't stick to the bucket or whatever we use to stir. Also at this step it's safest to wear something over your nose and mouth; although the clay is not toxic, you still don't want powdered clay getting in your lungs.
It is most advisable to spray on days without direct sunlight. When the liquid pools on a plant, it can magnify sunlight, which can burn the plant, making it less healthy, defeating the purpose of spraying. At the same time, you do not want to spray if it's going to rain soon. Rain can wash off the clay, especially if it's been applied only recently.
We use a hand-pumped backpack sprayer, dumping in the mixture from the bucket once it's ready. It's theoretically possible to spray it from a smaller spray bottle if you only needed enough for a plant or two. Some farmers will mix fish emulsion into the clay (fish emulsion can soak into the leaves of mature plants, giving them additional nutrients) but this is not advised by the USDA. It's important to spray every leaf of any plant you're trying to protect, and both the tops and bottoms of each leaf. Otherwise it would be like building a wall around half of a town to protect against invasion: it won't help when they come from the other side.
Sarah diligently spraying Surround on our eggplantEach leaf should be coated with the white clayOnce it drys, the clay just makes a plant look a few shades lighter than it used to be.
After spraying, most pests will be confused by the clay and not eat your plants. That is especially important if you have hail- and flea beetle-damaged crops like our eggplant, or if you're about to transplant 50 zucchini when you've noticed some cucumber beetles around the farm.
Happy Farming!

Kaolin Clay Sprays for Fruit Trees
Kaolin clay sprays are an important organic orchard strategy used after petal fall to repel many types of pest insects and protect trees from sunburn and high temperatures. Kaolin clay repels pests by making the fruit tree an unsuitable environment for certain insects to land, feed and lay eggs. The tiny clay particles serve to disguise the target fruit and can clog the eyes, ears and reproductive organs of many common pest insects including apple maggot, plum curculio, codling moth, european apple sawfly, oriental fruit moth, tufted apple bud moth, white apple leafhopper, and pear psylla.
It is important to build up a proper covering of clay on your trees or it will not be effective. Spraying at least 3 times, each application a week apart, after initial petal fall is recommended. A sprayed tree will be coated my a thin white film of clay particles. Be careful not to overspray, as too much clay can negatively effect mite predator insects and possibly trigger a red mite infestation. Repeat applications after any major rain event are also recommended to provide ongoing protection from pests.
Highly refined Kaolin clay products are copyrighted and are referred to as "Surround". Pottery grade Kaolin clay will not work like the highly refined kaolin in Surround products. Pottery Grade kaolin clay particles are too large, do not effectively deter insects, and can negatively effect your plant's health.
While Kaolin clay is a natural product, it is still important to protect yourself while spraying. Long sleeves, long pants, and closed toed shoes are recommended. A mask or respirator is also necessary to prevent inhalation of clay particles.
Instructions for using a backpack or handheld sprayer:
• Mix 1/4 to 1/2 lb (approximately 3 cups) of Surround WP or Surround At Home per one gallon of water. If your sprayer is not easy to shake, premix in a container and pour the mixture into your sprayer
• Add the powder slowly to approximately 1/4 of the water you will be using, stir and mix well by shaking vigorously for 30 seconds.
• Add the remaining water and shake for an additional 30 seconds.
• Shake the sprayer occasionally during application.
• Thoroughly coat all leaf and fruit surfaces until they appear white.
• When finished, spray until the sprayer is empty and flush the system. Leftover mix can be used within 2 weeks to avoid spoilage.
Surround can be purchased in 5lb or 25lb packages. The 5lb packages average around 25 dollars while the 25lb commercial variety average around 50. Because the clay will not spoil for many years, you can buy in bulk, save money and use it for multiple years.
Surround at Home (5 lbs)
Surround WP (25 lbs)
These products are also available at many garden centers and farm supply stores.

10 Recipes to Make With Kaolin Clay
Kaolin clay is easily the most versatile clay I own, and if you were only going to own one clay, I'd recommend white kaolin without hesitation. Kaolin is a lightweight, soft, silky clay that's available in a variety of colours—pink, white, and red are most common, but I find white to be my top choice for pretty much everything. It's inexpensive and useful in everything from soap to cosmetics to dusting powders, so I thought I'd collect a list of ten great recipes to make with it. After all, chances are if you have any, you probably have quite a lot—given how light and fluffy it is, it's easy to buy 500g or so and get a surprisingly large amount of clay in the mail!
I find kaolin and bentonite to be the two clays I'm asked about (especially about swapping them for one another) most often, and they couldn't be more different. It's such a common question I actually made a video to show just how different they are from one another! Bentonite is definitely the outlier; kaolin is very similar to other silky, lightweight clays like the French clays and the Australian clays (except for Australian black clay—that stuff is also a serious clay outlier! It's magnetic!). All those clays mix easily with water to create creamy, frosting-like pastes that make lovely face masks and super creamy bars of soap. Because of their similarities, you can typically swap one for another without much difficulty, other than any obvious things like colour changes (so perhaps don't use green clay as a swap in a blush recipe!).
Kaolin (or kaolinite) is an aluminum silicate mineral, with a skin-friendly pH of 4.2–5.2 (confirm with your supplier as this can vary). It is sometimes referred to as "china clay" due to its long history of use in making porcelain or china. As with all fine, insoluble powders, care should be taken not to inhale large amounts of aerosolized kaolin. You need to inhale a lot of the stuff to cause lung damage, but wearing a dust mask is still a good idea if you're going to be whirling it around in a coffee grinder while making something. In final products it's combined with water or oils and weighed down, diluted, or used in small enough quantities that it's not a concern.
So, why do we include kaolin clay in our DIYs? Its primary roles are absorbing moisture (both water and oil), thickening, mild exfoliating, cleansing, bulking, and contributing its lovely, silky feel. In a face mask it makes for a relatively gentle mask—it absorbs moisture and contracts as it dries, helping pull gunk out of your pores, stimulate circulation, and you'll get a touch of exfoliation when you wash it off. That exfoliation also comes into play for gentler facial scrubs. In body butters and deodorants it can help reduce greasiness and improve moisture management (especially good for sweaty pits). In dusting powders it helps manage moisture as well (prevent skiddy summer thighs!), and it's also a good, inexpensive bulking powder. Kaolin clay contributes some adhesion, its silky feel, and bulking to powdered cosmetics. In soap it makes for a wonderfully creamy bar that's downright luxurious, and I'll use it in cleansers to boost their cleansing power. Basically, it's crazy versatile, and you should definitely have some!
Alright, enough about the clay—let's get to the recipes!
Forest Facial Cleanser
This lovely, gentle foaming facial cleanser calls for French green clay, but you can easily use kaolin instead—the final product just won't be green, but it will still work just as well!
Bandits Mattress & Carpet Freshening Powder
Try this quick and easy recipe for a simple way to help deodorize tough-to-clean things like mattresses, carpets, and car seats. Just sprinkle, leave, and vacuum!
After Bath Silk Powder
This simple, silky powder is like baby powder for grownups. Use it after a bath for soft, matte skin, or use it in the summer under skirts or with shorts to conquer sweaty thighs!
Lots & Lots of Clay Soap
This soap started as an experiment and quickly became one of the best bars of soap I've ever made. I was wondering what would happen if I used 10x the recommended amount of clay in a bar of soap, and the answer is "AWESOMENESS"!
Silky Smooth Baby Powder
A quick and easy recipe for making your very own talc-free baby powder—this one is also awesome for stopping sweating summer thighs!
Blackhead Banishing Powder
This stuff is pretty much a three-ingredient magic trick for your pores. You can make the calcium carbonate from egg shells or buy it—I've made it both ways and making it from purchased calcium carbonate is much nicer, giving an infinitely smoother final product.
Gentle Foaming Clay Scrub
This was one of (if not the) first thing I ever made using a foaming surfactant, and it was love at first foam! This gentle facial cleanser is mostly kaolin clay with some other good-for-skin treats and a touch of lather—I think you'll love it!
Creamy Clay Cleansing Balm
This easy to make soap-free cleansing balm gets a boost in the cleansing department from some added kaolin clay.
Honey Bee Face Mask
The silky awesomeness of kaolin clay married with all kinds of bee goodness—honey, propolis, and pollen!
Translucent Anti-Shine Powder
This translucent setting and oily-face-fighting powder features astringent powdered cucumber extract to help with oil control.

SURROUND® Crop Protectant
|Product Information
|Registered uses
|Pome fruit, stone fruit, citrus fruit, grapes, olives, tropical tree fruit, vegetables and pineapples
|Pack size
|12.5 kg
|Active ingredient
|950 g/kg KAOLIN
SURROUND® forms a white barrier coating on crops, which helps to protect them from sunburn and heat stress. The particle barrier is specially designed to allow usable light through while blocking harmful infrared (IR) and ultraviolet (UV) light.
The technology behind Surround crop protectant was co-developed by Engelhard Corporation (now NovaSource) and the US Department of Agriculture and is referred to as 'particle film' technology. Comprised of specially modified particles of kaolin, a naturally occurring material, Surround is mixed in water and sprayed onto crops. Upon drying, a fine white film results. If Surround is applied to an edible part of the plant the film can be washed off at harvest, or spraying can cease early in the season and the deposit weathers off naturally.

Plant crops in your garden to attract birds and beneficial insects that prey on pests.
In last week's post, I discussed a couple of excellent pest-prevention techniques you can easily employ in your own garden. Here are a few more of my favorites:
1. Kaolin Clay
A white, powdery clay, kaolin is mixed with water and sprayed onto plants. When dry, it forms a dusty coating on plant leaves and fruits. Insects don't like landing on the powder, nor do they like how it clings to their legs and wings. In the veggie patch, it works to deter flea beetles on eggplants and radishes, as well as leafhoppers on other crops. These products are very effective in the organic orchard, where they prevent both codling moth and plum curculio.
Kaolin clay needs to be reapplied every 14 to 21 days to remain effective, and the plants will be covered with a white powder. It's easy to wash off of harvested crops and is completely safe. (In fact, it's an ingredient in many toothpastes and Kaopectate.) One commonly found brand of kaolin clay is Surround WP.
2. Predators
Beneficial insects and birds consume copious amounts of garden pests, and encouraging them to call your garden home prevents a lot of damage. Situate a bird bath and feeder in the center of the garden. Plant sunflowers, amaranth and other favorite seed sources among the vegetables. To attract beneficial insects, such as ladybugs, lacewings, parasitic wasps (don't worry, they're tiny and they can't sting) and hoverflies, plant plenty of herbs in the veggie patch and allow them to bloom. The adults will feed on the nectar of these small flowers while the larvae (and sometimes the adults, too) feast on aphids, hornworms, mites, mealy bugs and other assorted nasties.
3. You
It's not the nicest thought, but sometimes your actions may be the cause of a pest problem. Perhaps you applied too much nitrogen fertilizer and now your tomato has put out a lot of tender growth that is particularly appealing to aphids. Maybe you walked through the garden when the soil was wet, compacting it, thereby reducing the overall vigor of your plants and making them more prone to insect attacks. Did you leave debris in the garden, providing a safe hiding place for slugs and earwigs? Perhaps you neglected to pull out your spent plants last season, helping over-wintering pests to return. Take a look at what you do in your garden and make sure you are maintaining proper cultural practices. This is an easy, and often overlooked, method of preventing pest problems.

MINI30.12 - A Phase II Trial of Pictilisib with Chemotherapy in First-Line Non-Squamous NSCLC (ID 1432)
18:30 - 20:00 | Author(s): H. Koeppen
- Abstract
- Presentation
- Slides
In non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), PI3-kinase (PI3K) pathway activation, including downregulation of phosphatase and tensin homolog (PTEN) expression, may promote cell survival and enhance chemotherapy resistance. Additionally, mutations in KRAS have been shown preclinically to confer resistance to PI3K inhibition. The pan-PI3K inhibitor pictilisib potentiates the activity of taxanes, platinum agents, and antivascular endothelial growth factor therapy in preclinical models of NSCLC. This phase II hypothesis-generating study (NCT01493843) evaluated the safety and efficacy of pictilisib in combination with carboplatin, paclitaxel, and bevacizumab in patients not treated for advanced or recurrent non-squamous NSCLC.
Overall, 158 patients were randomized to receive carboplatin (area under the curve [AUC] = 6 mg/ml/min), paclitaxel (200 mg/m[2]), and bevacizumab (15 mg/kg) every 3 weeks (q3w) with 340 mg oral pictilisib (n=79) or placebo (n=79) daily in the first 2 weeks of each cycle for a total of 4 cycles. Bevacizumab q3w with daily pictilisib or placebo was continued until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Stratification factors included Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status and smoking status. The primary endpoint was progression-free survival (PFS) in the intention-to-treat (ITT) population and in patients with PTEN null/low expression (assessed by immunohistochemistry). Overall survival (OS), objective response rate (ORR), and safety were secondary endpoints. Pre-planned exploratory analyses included efficacy in the KRAS-wildtype subgroup. Tumor assessment was based on RECIST v1.1. Safety analyses were performed on patients who received at least one dose of study drug.
Median PFS in the ITT population was 6.9 months in the pictilisib arm and 5.9 months in the placebo arm (HR 0.82; 90% CI 0.59–1.13), while median OS was 13.6 months (pictilisib arm) versus 16.1 months (placebo arm) (HR 1.12; 90% CI 0.79–1.59). In patients with PTEN null/low expression, median PFS was 5.9 months (pictilisib arm) and 5.7 months (placebo arm) (HR 0.74; 90% CI 0.41–1.32). In the KRAS-wildtype subgroup, median PFS was 9.7 months (pictilisib arm) versus 5.7 months (placebo arm) (HR 0.70; 90% CI 0.45–1.09); median OS was 14.5 months in both arms. ORR in the ITT population was 37% (pictilisib arm) versus 29% (placebo arm). In the pictilisib arm, common grade ≥3 adverse events (AEs) included neutropenia (23%), rash (20%), thrombocytopenia (8%), febrile neutropenia (5%), and hyperglycemia (5%). AEs led to higher rates of discontinuation in the pictilisib arm (26% versus 16% in the placebo arm), particularly during the first 4 cycles. However, the proportion of AE-related deaths was higher in the placebo arm (9 [12%] versus 5 [6%] in the pictilisib arm).
This phase II trial of first-line pictilisib plus chemotherapy and bevacizumab in patients with non-squamous NSCLC showed a modest trend for improved PFS, with additional toxicity and no OS benefit. The safety profile was consistent with other pictilisib trials. PTEN null/low expression was not a predictive biomarker, although its prognostic value cannot be excluded. A trend for improved PFS, but not OS, was observed in the KRAS-wildtype subgroup, especially during the maintenance phase of treatment.

ORAL13.03 - Spatiotemporal Effects on Programmed Death Ligand 1 (PD-L1) Expression and Immunophenotype of Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) (ID 1609)
16:45 - 18:15 | Author(s): H. Koeppen
- Abstract
- Slides
PD-L1 is one of the immune-checkpoint molecules that regulates Th1 immune responses and mediates cancer immune evasion. PD-L1 can be expressed on tumor cells (TC) or tumor-infiltrating immune cells (IC) and expression in both cell types can negatively regulate T-cell function in the tumor microenvironment. The goal of this study was to evaluate the intra-patient heterogeneity and temporal changes in PD-L1 expression and overall immune phenotype in NSCLC using paired synchronous and metachronous tumor specimens.
Thirty-nine patients (pts) with NSCLC treated at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center were evaluated as part of an IRB approved project. Most were former/current smokers (n=30, 77%) and had adenocarcinoma histology (n=36, 92%). 17 pts were KRAS mutant (45%), and 5 were EGFR mutant (13%). Paired synchronous samples were collected from 17 pts with stage IIIA-N2 resected primary lung and metastatic lymph node (met LN) tissue. Paired metachronous samples were collected from 23 pts (including one patient also with synchronous tissue) with at least two metachronous primary/metastatic (n=14) or metastatic/metastatic tissues (n=9). In pts with metachronous samples, 14 (61%) had systemic intercurrent anti-cancer therapy and 9 (39%) had none. PD-L1 expression was assessed by IHC (clone SP142) on TC and IC. CD8 expression was evaluated by IHC using the C8/144 clone. In addition, expression of ~600 immune genes was analyzed by iChip.
Twenty-five out of 39 tissue pairs were evaluable by PD-L1 IHC (14/17 synchronous, 11/23 metachronous). Among pts with synchronous samples, in the primary tumor, PD-L1 was expressed in <1% of TC or IC in 6 pts, in 1-4% of cells in 5 pts, and in ≥5% of cells in 3 pts. Among those with metachronous samples, in the first collected sample, the PD-L1 expression in <1% of TC or IC was detected in 6 pts, in 1-4% of cells in 2 pts, and in ≥5% of cells in 3 pts. PD-L1 expression was similar across all paired tissues. PD-L1 status at the TC or IC 5% cut-off remained unchanged in all evaluable paired specimens and at the TC or IC 1% cut-off remained unchanged in 80% (11/14 synchronous and 9/11 metachronous) pairs. In both synchronous and metachronous samples, CD8 expression was also similar across paired specimens. The median inter-sample difference in CD8+ T-cell infiltration was 0.5% (95% CI: -0.6% - 3.4%) in synchronous pairs; three pts had a difference >5%. In metachronous pairs, the median difference was -0.4% (95% CI: -1.4% - 0.1%); one pt had a >5% change in CD8+ T-cell infiltration.
In this study, there was a high agreement in PD-L1 expression and CD8+ T-cell infiltration in both paired synchronous and metachronous NSCLC specimens. The low intra-patient heterogeneity of PD-L1 and CD8 expression in this study suggests any available tissue (e.g. primary or met) may be reliable to assess these markers in NSCLC. Overall immune characterization by gene expression analysis in paired tumor specimens will be presented.

A romanticised interpretation of the Wakeley aesthetic our designer wedding dress collection is each sophisticated and contemporary. You are going to be so busy the days correct prior to your wedding that you are going to want to be sure to put on comfy shoes. If you are each into perfumes and colognes, perhaps you will each be in a position to find your wedding day decision. They will ooh-la-la as you sashay down the aisle in any of our fabulously exclusive dresses. It is a couture bridal collection created for the customer who is size 16 and up. They offer the freedom to stroll into a bridal boutique and attempt on the dress of your dreams that has been specifically created to complement your style.
Dress styles are really elaborate and the wedding function is grand with all the relatives taking part in it. It was this dress worn by Empress Eugenie, which rekindles a15th century medieval tradition of brides wearing white wedding dresses, on their large day. I saw a couple episodes of My Big Fat Gypsy Wedding and those dresses are ridiculous! I have added some instructions, along with beneficial ideas on how to store these wedding day shoes. The drop waist flapper dresses were such a symbol of the freewheeling liberated spirit of the Jazz Age that they hold immense appeal for women these days.
Going beyond the classic Coco Chanel version, Givenchy's style resonated with so a lot of girls that Hepburn's dress in the film became the blueprint for all extremely sought-soon after black dresses thereafter. Givenchy's versions remain the blueprint for the most very sought after black dresses practically 60 years later. Lisa asked me to make two wedding dress quilts from her dress for her son and daughter who are acquiring married. Strapless prom dresses are a classic appear that can take you from timeless to trendy with lots of gorgeous types.
Even though we're talking about food, let's talk about what you are going to be serving your guests. They never seem to be worn like they were just before, even wedding dressses are shorter now. These, with a softer liner underneath them to maintain from scratching your legs, can be added prior to or right after you sew your wedding dress. We believe that Wedding Dresses need to make you really feel, as effectively as appear, like the most lovely woman in the room – all of the gowns we house have that potential. It had all the crucial details which meant I didn't want to waste paper giving information to guests.
However if you really want to have a bridal encounter, take a day out and go to a bridal bouquet and attempt on a selection of wedding dresses. The guests are served with tea soon after which the bride and groom cuts their huge wedding cake to be served to the guests. The ancient wedding rites have been replaced by international trends and somehow commerce has taken its core. Here at our stunning Birmingham boutique you can discover 100's of Wedding Dresses in a assortment of designs and fabrics, to suit all different designs of Wedding.

A lottery winner in Australia who seemingly wished to remain anonymous picked quite the mask to hide his face.Dressed in a mask of"Ghostface" — a character in the"Jason" movies with a touch white face and long, wide-opened mouth — that the winner, only recognized as Peter A., collected his winnings of roughly $158,400,000 in Australian dollars, that equates to over $1,171,400 in US dollars. Peter, according to the Australia Star, became sick when he found out he won the Super Lotto in November, after buying a ticket for $1.48."I found out [I won] the exact same night," he said.
"Normally, I would write down the numbers by the televised draw, then eat and then go and check my numbers. I looked at my ticket [that ] and ran into my bathroom and said'I won! I won!'"He reportedly picked up his test on Feb. 5.
He said while he's alright, he feels"just a little numb, a little bit" after his win.Peter appeared to have contemplated how to responsibly deal with the money."I wish to find a nice house. I have

Who Are We?
We are ICEBERG, an independent science news and communication website run by volunteers and writers who have spent time in the lab as researchers. We focus on basic science research and research that is not broadly distributed outside of the scientific community, their specific field, or geographic location/institution. You may not have heard about the experiments or projects we talk about, and that is what we are hoping to change.
What Do Our Articles Look Like?
Each piece is written by one of our scientists. It will include two sections. First, "The Gist of It" will focus on the overall impact of the research and why it is an important study. Second, "The Nitty Gritty" will focus on more of the scientific detail of the experiments and include some more information beyond what would be generally included in an overall view of the work. For each piece, we will include a citation of the original research article, and link to it online.
Want to Get Involved?
We are always looking to expand and would love to have writers outside of the biomedical fields. Please contact us if you would be interested in writing.

Professional PHP developer with a tendency to defend that language where others just throw their hands up - although there certainly are things it would be good to throw away and start again! Similarly, I'm a big fan of PostgreSQL, but not of routinely bashing MySQL except in the specific cases where it deserves it.
I tend to downvote answers that give a literal code solution to the problem posed with no accompanying explanation, as they miss the opportunity to teach people how to solve the problem themselves next time.

Active compounds of medicinal plants, mechanism for antioxidant and beneficial effects
- Orozco Montes F1, A Vázquez-Hernández2, B Fenton-Navarro1
An increased interest in the antioxidant effects of medicinal plants has developed in recent years. Identifying antioxidant compounds present in medicinal plants and elucidating the mechanism by which they prevent oxidation have been the focus of the research community. We performed a systematic and exhaustive review aimed at analyzing the available data regarding the beneficial effects of secondary metabolites in plants. The result of this review is presented as a description of free radicals, as well as cellular and physiological oxidative stress, is provided. The origin and source of antioxidant compounds, and the cellular and molecular mechanism by which they exert antioxidant effects, have been reported. The absorption, distribution and, elimination of antioxidants are mentioned. The beneficial effects of secondary metabolites of medicinal plants in various high incidence disease conditions were also reviewed. Finally, disease states that benefit from antioxidant compounds includes diabetes, cancer, cardiovascular diseases, and liver, brain and, intestinal diseases.

The pasture production report shows a heat map of the amount of pasture produced in each paddock in a given year.
For this report, pasture production for the year is calculated for each paddock that has had pasture recorded. The paddocks are then sorted in order of tonnes/ha production and evenly divided into 10 groups. The legend shows the range of pasture produced for each group next to the colour of the paddocks in that group on the heat map.

The holiday shopping season is in full swing. Every year the process becomes ever-more hectic, the crowds get bigger and bigger, and people seem to shell out more cash for more expensive stuff. But with this somewhat chaotic season comes some dangers that people tend to overlook, and if those dangers are overlooked by the establishments people are shopping at, the owners can be on the hook for liability should things go wrong.
While shopping this holiday season, malls and shopping centers that fail to take measures to ensure a patron's safety may be responsible for injuries inflicted on them by third-parties. Every year, shoppers become the victims of assault, robbery, physical abuse, sexual abuse, kidnapping, trampling, carjacking and other violent crimes. Owners of commercial property, who invite the public onto their property for the purposes of gain or profit, have an obligation to ensure the safety of those who chose to accept the invitation.
How to Show a Landowner is Liable
Every premises liability claim against a landowner, whether it be the result of a slip and fall on a puddle, or an assault by a third party on the premises, requires a showing that the landowner had notice of the dangerous or unsafe condition, that the dangerous condition was not repaired, eliminated, or warned of, and that failure to fix or warn of the dangerous condition was the cause of the injuries. Specifically, in a case in which a patron at a store or shopping mall is assaulted, or is otherwise the victim of a violent crime, a showing that the landowner knew, or had reason to know, that the safety of its patrons were likely to be in danger, is required. The greater the similarity of previous situations to the crime at issue, the greater the likelihood that the mall or shopping center could have foreseen the crime. A mall or shopping center that could reasonably foresee a crime perpetrated against its patrons, has an obligations to take precautions to protect their patrons.
If The Owner Could Have Prevented Your Injury, They May Be Liable
If it can be shown that the injuries suffered from a violent crime were reasonably foreseeable, the owner of a mall or shopping center is responsible to compensate you for your injuries, provided they could have prevented the crime by simply taking minimal precautions. These include things like hiring sufficient security, employing security cameras, providing adequate exterior lighting, and placing emergency phones or call boxes in accessible areas.
The lack of basic safety measures may be grounds for claims of negligence against the owner of a shopping mall or store. If you or your loved one were injured in an incident in which security seemed faulty in New York, make sure you consult with a personal injury attorney that has knowledge in premises liability.
Feel free to contact us with any questions or concerns you may have when it comes to ANY personal injury case. 800-734-9445

Guess what?! The world's largest generation to date is beginning to enter the MID CAREER status! Yes, that's correct. Millennials aren't the youngest working generation any longer. Gen Y is coming fast on their heels. Scared? Don't be. Boomers, Gen X, Millennials, Gen Y, the "It" generation…. They're all just titles. What matters is how we pass on what we have learned. (yes, a Yoda reference from a Gen X'r).
Where would we all be without those that supported us along the way? Don't hoard your knowledge. You worked hard. You've learned a lot – SHARE IT!
Fostering, supporting, and mentoring the next generation are an integral part of the CREW Richmond mission. Consider this a CALL TO ACTION!
CREW Richmond supports our next generation of leaders by awarding 2 scholarships each in honor of some very special CREW women – Kathy Ivins and Marci Handshaw. I am pleased to report that we had a record number of applicants from a variety of schools. The Network Liaison committee of Skip Stevens, Jennifer Parham, Kristie Inge, and Meg O'Brien chose two spectacular students to receive our scholarships and introduced both of them at the Leadership Summit.
Arellana Bacon was awarded the Kathy Ivins scholarship. Rachel James was awarded the Marci Handshaw scholarship.
2 Scholarships sounds like a good effort, but did you know we can easily do more? CREW Network supported 20 young women this year with scholarship packages including $5,000 scholarship, CREW Network membership, attendance at Convention, and paid internships. Talk about paying it forward!
What does this have to do with me? All CREW Chapters contributed to this effort by giving to CREW Foundation.
Be sure to look for the option to donate on your membership renewal form. Starting November 1st, all CREW Foundation donations count toward meeting our 2020 Chapter challenge of having 50% of membership donate. It doesn't take an enormous amount to make a difference in a lot of lives and help us reach our goal. You'll be hearing more from me in the coming months as we try to regain our title as "first to the finish line" meeting the chapter challenge. Please consider donating!


text: Heskey Posted June 15, 2016 Hi all, I've searched but couldn't find any threads on this topic - apologies if I've missed them. Is there a Squad map repository similar to the PR Map Gallery to help server admins identify good maps to set next? With so many different AAS layouts per map it's difficult to know the scale of each round before you're in it. As a side note, I assume we have different map layouts because a dynamic flag creation system like PR hasn't been done yet, so each layer is held on an individual map file? If so, presumably we will eventually end up with 1 AAS map file per map, and switching to this will result in a random layer being generated? Thanks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
