As social media continues to change the way that brands and consumers interact, I am thrilled to be involved in the launch of City & Guilds new Social Media Level 3 Diploma. The launch event, held on the 9th May in London, addresses how the new qualification will help equip learners and employers for the new ways of business marketing.
Social Media is now a key marketing tool for businesses of all sizes, and should be front and centre of any marketing planning moving forward. The new qualification helps prepare marketers and business for this new approach to marketing and covers areas such as the principles of social media for business, key words/optimisation, content writing and a range of technical modules that would be used to implement an effective social media strategy. Definitely doesn't leave any stone left uncovered!
Furthermore, this event will count towards delegates CPD.
At the event, I will be delivering a work shop that covers some of the changes in the marketing landscape and how the use of social media can help organisations to better engage with their community and help them achieve their objectives.

2013 Audi A8 L Values
Select a 2013 Audi A8 L trim level
2013 model year changes
For 2013 Audi has replaced the V8 engine in the A8 with a supercharged V6. The new engine promises to significantly improve fuel economy for the large A8 while still offering respectable performance.
Competitive comparison
Strong acceleration; responsive handling; fuel efficiency; excellent MMI interface; extensive driver-safety and accident-avoidance features
Special features for 2013
The long-wheelbase version of the A8, the A8L, is now slightly longer than the BMW 7-Series, Lexus LS and Mercedes-Benz S-Class, bringing an exceptionally roomy interior. The A8 still manages to feel more nimble and responsive than would ever be expected for such a large vehicle. A number of other tech features, such as the industry-first full LED headlamps and the next-generation touchpad MMI interface inside, are market standouts.
An extended length variant of the A8, the 2013 Audi A8 L grants the driver rear window shades, Audi parking system plus, rear seat comfort package, and power door close assist. For increased performance Audi offers a W12 trim level that equips the A8 with a W12 engine, producing 500 hp and 463-lb of torque for a 0-60 time of 4.4 seconds. Fuel mileage for the W12 falls within an EPA estimated range of 14 mpg city and 21 mpg highway. To maintain fuel efficiency the A8 L is also offered with the standard 3.0-liter turbocharged V6 engine. Features include 20-inch wheels, 22-way front comfort seats, touch technology navigation, cornering lights-static LED, heated side mirrors, heated windshield nozzles, navigation, hands-free phone capabilities, and rear seat entertainment system. Safety is comprised of night vision assistant with pedestrian detection, Side guard® head curtain airbags, electronic stability control, brake assist, anti-lock braking, electronic brake pressure distribution, traction control, tire pressure monitoring, rear-passenger thorax side airbags, and Audi lane assist. The A8 L is backed by a 4-year/50,000-mile warranty.

Crystal Palace staged a fine second-half comeback to earn their first away league win of the season as they beat Norwich 2-1 at Carrow Road.
The Eagles went into the game with only one win from their previous 10 games and were behind just before the break when Grant Holt got on the end of Simon Lappin's cross.
However Palace were a different side after half-time and levelled through Julian Bennett before Anthony Gardner's header completed the turnaround.
Norwich pressed for an equaliser but Palace held firm to register a win that meant they were only still in the relegation zone by the virtue of goal difference.
The Canaries came flying out of the traps and came agonisingly close to taking the lead after just seven minutes.
Palace's Alex Marrow lost the ball in midfield and the lively Wes Hoolahan played in Simeon Jackson who saw his shot cannon off the crossbar.
Moments later Jackson almost got in again after a poor backpass but Crystal Palace goalkeeper Julian Speroni was quick off his line to clear.
The visitors responded well to the early pressure and almost took the lead themselves when Edgar Davids' cross fell into the path of Owen Garvan who flashed a shot just wide of the post.
With 15 minutes gone Norwich were awarded a free-kick and Lappin flighted the ball to Leon Barnett who saw his header saved by Speroni.
However Palace continued to look dangerous on the counter attack and Andrew Dorman sent Wilfred Zaha through but his shot went just wide.
Zaha was looking dangerous for the Eagles and he got past a couple of challenges before being denied by a superb last-ditch tackle from Andrew Crofts.
Norwich almost went in front when Lappin's corner was cleared back to him and his shot was hacked off the line by Davids.
Two minutes before the break Hoolahan played the ball wide to Lappin who crossed for Holt and he made no mistake from close range to put Norwich in front.
Crystal Palace boss George Burley brought Kieran Djalili on for Davids soon after the break and the visitors immediately looked a more dangerous attacking threat.
With 56 minutes gone they were level when Zaha played a short corner to Garvan and his cross found Bennett who buried a header home from six yards.
Norwich goalkeeper John Ruddy made a good save from Dorman to keep the scores level but Palace went in front after 63 minutes.
Garvan played a corner into the near post and Gardner got in front of his marker to head home.
The home side tried to get back into the game and Anthony McNamee flashed a shot just over the bar as Palace held on for a vital win.

Part of the choice had to do with the up-tempo offence mapped out by new coach Chip Kelly.
"I just thought," Vick said, "this was the best opportunity, the best fit for me."
Turns out, Vick was the best fit for Kelly.
With his first chance to put his stamp on Philadelphia's offence, Kelly named Vick the starting quarterback on Tuesday, giving the veteran the nod over Nick Foles after a sterling effort in the preseason.
"He's our starter for the season," Kelly said. "It's not a one-game trial basis."
There wasn't a lot of suspense with Kelly's decision, which was announced after practice on Tuesday, and after the coach met with both players. About the only surprise was the timing — Kelly had hinted he might not name a starter until closer to the opener. But Kelly, in his first season after coaching at Oregon, ended the mystery and will have Vick taking the snaps when Philadelphia opens the regular season at Washington Sept. 9.
"I'm not surprised at all," Vick said. "I told him, 'Thank you, I appreciate it and I won't let you down.'"
Vick has been solid in two preseason games, and Foles, in his second season with the Eagles, has struggled to grasp Kelly's multifaceted offence. Vick has thrown for 199 yards this preseason and will take a 113.2 quarterback rating into Friday's game at Jacksonville (0-2).
Foles has been sacked six times in two games, and has a quarterback rating of 65.5, after showing flashes as a rookie last season while Vick was injured. Vick played in just 10 games last season, while Foles topped 340 yards twice as a rookie.
The Eagles (1-1) are coming off a 4-12 season, coach Andy's Reid's last, and haven't made the playoffs since they won the NFC East at the end of the 2010 season.
"We had a good amount of tape, a good amount of us seeing them on the field," Kelly said. "And seeing them in a lot of different situations, and wanted to put a guy in place, if we could, in enough time to get us to prepare the season."
Kelly has only shown flashes of his up-tempo offence in the first two preseason games and defences already seem tired and confused while the Eagles are moving the ball with ease. The first-team offence led by Vick and Foles has four touchdowns on eight-plus possessions in two games. One drive ended with an end-zone interception and two others ended with fumbles.
Behind Foles will be Matt Barkley, a rookie from Southern Cal.
"The competitor in me, you always want to be the one on the field playing," Barkley said. "At the same time, I love Mike. We've gone about it the right way. We've kept our great friendship and we've pushed each other. I'm proud of him. I'm going to do anything I can to help him become the best quarterback possible.
"I'm excited for him. Nothing changes in my preparation. I'm going to prepare the same way."
Vick had a breakout year under Reid in 2010, leading the Eagles to the division title, winning The Associated Press Comeback Player of the Year award and starting in the Pro Bowl. But he's battled injuries and inconsistency the last two years.
Now 33, Vick sustained a concussion in Week 10 last year and Reid decided to let Foles play the rest of the way because the Eagles were in last place. Vick returned to start the season finale against the New York Giants because Foles was hurt. He finished the year with 2,362 yards passing, 12 touchdowns and 10 interceptions. He lost five fumbles.
"I think Mike is ahead right now. I think Nick made it very difficult," Kelly said. "It wasn't where one guy went north and the other guy went south. I think both of them upped their games.
"But at this point in time Mike's ahead."
The four-time Pro Bowl quarterback agreed in February to a restructured three-year contract with the Eagles, just two seasons after signing a $100 million extension that included $35.5 million in guaranteed money. The new deal is essentially for one year, however.
Vick could earn up to $10 million in 2013 if he meets all performance incentives. He was slated to earn about $16 million this season, including a $3 million roster bonus.
Vick has missed 11 games because of injuries over the last three seasons.
A former No. 1 overall pick by Atlanta, Vick was signed by Philadelphia in 2009 after missing two years because he was in federal prison for his role in a dogfighting ring. He came in as the No. 3 quarterback behind Donovan McNabb and Kevin Kolb.
After McNabb was traded and Kolb was injured in the season opener in 2010, Vick took over and was outstanding. He had career highs in yards passing (3,018), completion percentage (62.6), touchdowns passing (21), touchdowns rushing (9) and passer rating (100.2).
He might not hit those numbers again — even if Vick believes he's still capable of playing like his old self.
"It don't stop here. This is just Day 1," he said. "I've still got to prove myself."

All Atlantic and Gulf of Mexico coastal areas are subject to hurricanes or tropical storms. Parts of the Southwest United States and the Pacific Coast experience heavy rains and floods each year from hurricanes spawned off Mexico. The Atlantic hurricane season lasts from June to November, with the peak season from mid-August to late October.
Hurricanes can cause catastrophic damage to coastlines and several hundred miles inland. Winds can exceed 155 miles per hour. Hurricanes and tropical storms can also spawn tornadoes and microbursts, create storm surges along the coast, and cause extensive damage from heavy rainfall.
Hurricanes are classified into five categories based on their wind speed, central pressure, and damage potential (see chart). Category Three and higher hurricanes are considered major hurricanes, though Categories One and Two are still extremely dangerous and warrant your full attention.
Saffir-Simpson scale
|Scale Number
|Sustained Winds
|Storm Surge
|Minimal: Unanchored mobile homes,
vegetation and signs.
|4-5 feet
|Moderate: All mobile homes, roofs,
small crafts, flooding.
|6-8 feet
|Extensive: Small buildings, low-lying
roads cut off.
|9-12 feet
|Extreme: Roofs destroyed, trees
down, roads cut off, mobile homes
destroyed. Beach homes flooded.
|13-18 feet
|More than 155
|Catastrophic: Most buildings
destroyed. Vegetation destroyed.
Major roads cut off. Homes flooded.
|Greater than 18 feet
Hurricanes can produce widespread torrential rains. Floods are the deadly and destructive result. Slow moving storms and tropical storms moving into mountainous regions tend to produce especially heavy rain. Excessive rain can trigger landslides or mud slides, especially in mountainous regions. Flash flooding can occur due to intense rainfall. Flooding on rivers and streams may persist for several days or more after the storm.
Between 1970 and 1999, more people lost their lives from freshwater inland flooding associated with land falling tropical cyclones than from any other weather hazard related to tropical cyclones.

Oh, you mean like when you're proper going for it and then you're like 'AHH CHIPMUNKS!'

Idris Elba may be busy promoting his new robots and aliens flick, "Pacific Rim," but he took some time to remember his much-loved BBC series, "Luther," whose third series is airing in Britain this month.
Elba and "Luther" creator Neil Cross have big plans for the detective show: They're hoping for a feature film.
"It's our engine at the moment," Elba said. "Neil wants to make it and so do I, and we are hopefully making steps towards that. It's a long process."
Elba said they hoped a movie would help explore why the titular Detective Chief Inspector John Luther is so dark and burdened.
"I think we probably go back to the beginning and start from an origin story," Elba explained.
An origin story likely means Ruth Wilson's Alice Morgan, a killer who Elba meets in the first series and becomes his confidante, would have to sit the movie out.
Still, rabid "Luther" fans will be glad for opportunity for the gifted, but still somewhat unknown Elba to dig into a deeper role for a broader audience.
The third season of "Luther" premieres on BBC America on September 3.

Featuring pizza aficionados Sal Basille and Francis Garcia
Series premiere Monday, May 6
Cooking Channel takes viewers along for a mouth-watering exploration of pizza across the country through the eyes and taste buds of two pizza aficionados in "Pizza Cuz," premiering Monday, May 6, at 9 p.m. Over the course of six episodes, Francis Garcia and Sal Basille, owners of the growing pizza empire Artichoke Basille's Pizza in New York City, travel everywhere the smell of pizza can take them, from San Francisco to Philadelphia, Michigan to Oregon, and in their own backyard of Brooklyn, tasting and discovering everything related to pizza along the way.
Cousins and best friends, Garcia and Basille opened Artichoke Basille's in New York City in 2008. Having gotten their hands into the business early working at their family's restaurant, Basille's in Staten Island, the boys and their pizza shop have made more than a name for themselves in Manhattan. In 2010, the cousins opened up their second Artichoke location in Chelsea, New York City, featuring sit-down dining and expanded menu items. And a third location opened to serve up the legendary slices in what was once the heart of "American Bohemia," Greenwich Village on MacDougal Street.
Their never-ending line of devoted fans includes the likes of Keith Richards and Momofuku's David Chang.
Episodes include:
Monday, May 6, at 9 p.m.
Garcia and Basille meet some of the top pizza masters across the country, as they travel to Portland to devour some house-smoked bacon pizza at Apizza Scholls. And after grabbing wild nettles and sausage slices in Oakland, Garcia and Basille head back to New York City to make their own burrata cheese for an authentic pizza pie.
Premiering Monday, May 13
Garcia and Basille explore some of America's most legendary neighborhood pizzerias, starting with a venture to Connecticut pizzeria Colony Grill, owned by four childhood friends. In Michigan, Garcia and Basille receive a lesson on the origins of the "Detroit Sicilian" as they visit Buddy's Restaurant Pizzeria, and celebrate a 100-year anniversary in New Jersey, home of the oldest, continuously run pizzeria in the country.
Premiering Monday, May 20
Garcia and Basille discover unique dough recipes and techniques from across the country. The guys start by making "no-knead" dough at their Artichoke Basille's Pizzeria & Bar, then try their hands at a sourdough pizza crust in northern California. The cousins end their trip with a one-of-a-kind cornmeal deep-dish crust at Dove Vivi in Oregon.
Premiering Monday, May 27
Garcia and Basille find some deliciously different pizza toppings, even getting wet and dirty for some of the ingredients. Whether it's trying deep-fried slices at Forcella in Brooklyn, a simply distinctive focaccia pie at Liguria Bakery in San Francisco, or clam farming in Larkspur for a fresh clams and sopressata combination, the cousins will have their hands full with these mouthwatering toppings.
Premiering Monday, June 3
"Girl Power"
Garcia and Basille visit some of the most successful women in pizza. They begin with Jennifer Stark's and Maureen McNamara's tasty spicy jerk chicken pizza at Amici's Pizza in Michigan. Then in Portland, the Minnick sisters share their salted cod pizza from Lovely's Fifty Fifty. And then the cousins head to Philadelphia, where two mini-moguls, Valerie Safran and Marcie Turner, share a taste of their guanciale and truffled farm egg pizza that has helped them take over an entire city block.
Premiering Monday, June 10
The cousins seek out the experimental and unconventional, as Garcia and Basille enjoy Indian tandoori chicken pizza at Zante in San Francisco. And if a delectable wood-fired truffle oil pizza from a tiny food cart in Oregon doesn't sound appealing enough, Garcia and Basille get their taste buds on a smoked brisket, followed by an ice cream-topped slice, in a wacky pizza museum in Philadelphia.

This time next week, I'll be in "sunny" Idaho. Sun shines anywhere my grandchildren are:) Needless to say, I am ecstatic!!! I'll be there for both Tabi and Noah's dance recital, gymnastic programs, Grandparents' Day at school, AND, Mother's Day!!! I hear the kids have a few days planned themselves but don't you worry, grammy has a few ideas too:) Shssh... we're going to start a garden. I think we'll call it The Visiting Garden.
I haven't worked out all the details yet. I do know we will need a fair amount of time. We'll see what happens. If all goes well, I'll give you the run down when I return. In the mean time, I'm not leaving yet, let's see what food celebrations we have this week.
I LOVE Dandelions:)
April 18thAnimal Crackers, you know those tiny bites of animal shaped crackers, have a birthday. Supposedly, they made their National Biscuit Company [Nabsico] debut on April 18th, 1902. Further investigation required...However, this may just be the perfect time to sing that jingle so famously recited by my all time favorite; Shirley Temple. Why? Shirley Temple's birthday is also this week!!! (Those of you who have been visiting here since the beginning, may remember my very first avatar was that of Shirley Temple's "Curly Locks.")
monkeys and rabbits loop the loop...
April 19thIt's Garlic Day!
Last year I did a post about the healing benefits of garlic. As I look back, I'm not happy with it. I would LOVE to do a new Garlic Day post but, no can do this year. How about, I leave you my recipe for Spaghetti with Garlic and Oil; (Aglio e Olio) the very first meal I gave to both my grand children as soon as they could get their tiny mouths filled with pasta. (Of course, I chopped it up for them and fed them with spoons) Now, they slurp up the pasta just like kids should. I always grate Locatelli cheese on my Aglio Oilio, tons!
Aglio Oilio
1 lb. thin spaghetti
3 ounces extra virgin olive oil
4 cloves fresh garlic sliced (I don't use a garlic press, some do)
salt & pepper to taste
3 anchovies (optional)
1/4 cup chopped flat-leaf parsley (a couple of handfuls)
1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
Cook spaghetti according to package directions. As the pasta is cooking, gently heat the olive oil in a deep frying pan and add the garlic to the heated oil and saute until lightly browned. If you are adding the anchovies, you can add them at this time. I usually add a handful of parsley at this time saving the rest for the top along with the crushed red pepper. When the spaghetti is done, drain it and add it slowly to the oil mixture. There are a few variations to this method. Some choose to strain the pasta lightly so that some of the liquid from the spaghetti is added to the oil. I don't do it this way. I like it garlic and oil style! Be careful when adding the pasta to the hot oil. Top it with the remainder of parsley, crushed red pepper, and the your favorite Italian grating cheese. Mine is Locatelli however, Parmigiano Reggiano works GREAT too!
The "Ninja Method" of Peeling Garlic: "The only thing about garlic I didn't like was peeling it. Until I discovered the "Ninja Method," that is. All you do is put a little salt on a cutting board, put the clove on top, and, with the back of a wide knife, give it a good whack, screaming like a Ninja warrior as you do. Then just pull off the skin and chop it with abandon." (Mike Kalina's Travelin' Gourmet pg. 5)
National Amaretto Day! Garlic and Amaretto both in the same day...I best leave it at that:) I have persoanlly made this recipe for Chicken with Amaretto. Take my word for it, it's heavenly!!! The recipe is from a charming Amaretto recipe book published by the distillers of Amaretto Disaronno.
April 20thNational Pineapple Upside Down Cake Day is April 20. You can celebrate with this recipe for Vegan Pineapple Upside-Down Cake or this one for Butter Rum Pineapple Upside Down Cake; 1st place winner at the 2006 Wahiawa Pineapple Festival. I bake a mean Pineapple Upside Down Cake, with a cake mix of course:) It looks something like Marjie's Pineapple Upside Down Cake but she bakes hers from scratch!
Lima Bean Respect Day (I'll be posting; out of respect, of course:)
April 21stJohn Muir, often referred to as "America's First Conservationist" and the "Father of our National Parks," was born today; April 21, 1838.
National Chocolate-Covered Cashews Day
Have you ever heard of Peppercorn Day? It's a holiday celebrated in Bermuda on the Wednesday closest to April 23rd. On the day of the peppercorn ceremony, officials collect one peppercorn as rent of the Old State House in Saint George.
April 22ndCadwallader C. Washburn, (PDF) General Mills Founder, was born on April 22, 1818. One of 10 children, during his life, Washburn would become a congressman, a governor, an army general, a lumberman and a flour miller. He was successful at all of these occupations.
National Jelly Bean Day
On April 22, 1964, the New York World's Fair opened. Like many fairgoers from years past, a new taste sensation was to be experienced for the very first time. Guess what we had at the fair? Bel-Gem Waffles:)
Many of the World's Fairs were long remembered for a fast food sensation introduced at the exposition. The ice cream cone was introduced at St. Louis in 1904 and the 1964 New York World's Fair had the "Bel-Gem" waffle. Of course it orginated at the Belgium Village, but it was also all available all over the Fair. It was constructed of a fat, fluffy waffle base that was piled high with strawberries and topped with whipped cream. Best of all it was delicious. source
There seems to be a bit of a discrepancy and a recipe at Saveur.com
Maurice Vermesch baked these waffles (properly called Brussels waffles and, in Belgium, topped with just confectioners' sugar) at the 1962 Seattle World's Fair, but only after he sold them at the 1964-65 New York fair did they soar in popularity in this country...Earth Day: The Earth Day Groceries Project is a cost-free environmental awareness project in which students decorate paper grocery bags with environmental messages for Earth Day. While you're at it, why not bake up Janet's Dirt Cupcakes for Earth Day or Emily's Gourmet Dirt Cake.
April 23rdToday is the feast day of St George, the patron saint of England. To celebrate St. George's Day, some English establishments have suggested feasting on one of England's popular culinary offerings; the pudding.
Shirley Temple's Birthday
Happy Birthday to the Bard of Avon!
From *Morsels of Shakespeare: (a previous post)A lovely recipe for Salmon with Violets from Shakespeare's Kitchen.
Shakespeare in his plays speaks of apricots, mulberries, pomegranates, quinces, figs, gooseberries, and seems to have had a particular interest in strawberries, then considered by many to possess some special health giving qualities. In Henry V a courtier likens the emergence of the young king's virtues after a misspent youth to the virtue of the strawberry thriving under the nettle. Indeed, the fascination with medicinal plants and herbs long survived: to Shakespeare, rhubarb was known as physicke (which, to be sure, it is), and cowslips, lungwort, liverwort, pennyroyal, were respected for their qualities along with the mysterious mandrake--celebrated in the second line of John Donne's lyric "Get with child a mandrake root...(The Horizon Cookbook & Illustrated History of Eating & Drinking through the Ages by William Harlan Hale & The Editors of Horizon Magazine, © 1968 pgs. 131-132)Why oh why National Picnic Day is sometimes stated as being celebrated on April 23rd, I don't know. However, it sure seems like the perfect time to remind everyone about the Picnic Game we played last year for *International Picnic Day in June. "I'm going on a picnic [in June] and I'm bringing...
April 24thNational Pigs-in-a-Blanket Day
Isabel Gordon Curtis author of The Good Housekeeping Woman's Home Cook Book was born April 24, 1863.
On April 24 1800, President John Adams signed a law establishing the Library of Congress.
The third week of April is designated as National Bubblegum Week. It looks like I'm not the only one who gets days and weeks mixed up; but hey, who can resist this Bubblegum Martini? I mean really Just Grin &
Bake Make It!
FYI: Kasha over @ Have a Daily Serving & Enjoy is having an eyeball saver of a give-away. All you need to do is comment on the last movie that made you cry to enter. (hint, hint:)

In the TeraStaion Pro mainboard you will find the following chips:
- Freescale MPC8241LVR266D (IC15)
- System on a Chip, main processor
- 266MHz MPC603e PowerPC core
- 133MHz memory controller EDO/SDRAM
- 32bit 33/66MHz PCI v2.2
- I2C interface
- Dual serial ports
- Micron MT48LC16M16A2TG-75D (IC8, IC16, IC?, IC?)
- 4 x 4M x 16bit x 4banks = 4x 256Mbit = 128MB RAM
- two more on the back of the mainboard
- unknown flash chip on the back of the mainboard
- Silicon Image SerialLink SiI3512ECTU128 (IC1, IC2)
- two 2-Port PCI SATA Host Controller
- four S-ATA ports
- Realtek RTL8110S-32 (IC13)
- Gigabit ethernet controller
- Unshielded RJ45 port
- USB2.0 host controller, EHCI and OHCI interface
- Two USB Type-A connectors, at the back
- 8-bit ALL Flash MCU (microcontoller)
- some more small chips, with unreadable labels
Notworth is the connector J1 (top right in the image) where a serial port (Tx, Rx, Vcc, GND) is exposed.
CN3 appears to be a JTAG debugging port.
CN4, at the same location, likely connects to the 8bit NEC MCU (IC14) and exposes this signals: GND, VDD, CLK, RESET-, TXD, RXD, FLMDO, NC.
J1 should give you access to the primary serial port, most likely at v3.3 signal levels.
The regular TeraStation was equiped with a normal micro-ATX powersupply and has an ATX powerconnector on the mainboard. For the Pro this have been replaced by a custom powersupply with an proprietary connector (lower right, CN13).
The resetbutton has not been populated, but it's functionality is most likely provided by the LCD pannel. The LCD pannel is connected via CN? a 15 (or 16) pin connector on the bottom right edge.
The 3 pin connector next to it looks like a regular fan connector and most likely controlls the system fan.
The big 8pin connector CN16 provieds power to the harddisks.
Special thanks go to User:MikeSchinkel for providing my with 30 images of his TSpro internals, what allowed me to do this writeup.

Nov 13 (Reuters) - A pill for rheumatoid arthritis being developed by Eli Lilly and Co and Incyte Corp maintained its effectiveness in reducing painful symptoms through 24 weeks of treatment in a midstage extension study, according to data presented at a medical meeting on Tuesday.
A sub-study of patients taking part in the trial of the drug, baricitinib, also showed that the two highest doses tested helped to reduce joint damage, based on Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) tests.
The companies in June released positive data from the 301-subject Phase II study after 12 weeks of treatment in patients with mild to moderate RA who had an inadequate response to methotrexate. Data from the ongoing extension study, presented Tuesday at the American College of Rheumatology meeting in Washington, measured baricitinib treatment through the 24 weeks.
Based on the data collected from its Phase II programs, Lilly said it has moved into late-stage testing of the drug.
Four Phase III RA studies of baricitinib using the 2 milligram and 4 mg doses are planned for patients who have not previously been treated with methotrexate or injectable biotech drugs and also in patients who did have prior treatment with biologics, or drugs made from living organisms or their products, the companies said. Those studies will form the basis of the data package used to seek approval of the drug.
After 24 weeks, 73 percent of patients who received 8 mg of the Lilly drug once daily achieved the ACR20 goal, or a 20 percent improvement in rheumatoid arthritis symptoms. That compared with 78 percent who hit ACR20 at 12 weeks.
For the 4 mg dose, 78 percent of patients hit ACR 20 at 24 weeks, up from 75 percent at week 12.
The 2 mg dose that failed to show statistical significance compared with a placebo at 12 weeks had 63 percent of patients achieve ACR20 by week 24 of treatment, the data showed.
The study also measured ACR50 and ACR70 rates, or 50 percent and 70 percent improvement. All three doses showed improvement at 24 weeks from measurements taken at 12 weeks.
"These data are important because collectively they show patients experienced improvement with baricitinib as early as week two that was sustained through week 24," Dr. Mark Genovese, co-chief of the division of immunology and rheumatology at Stanford University School of Medicine, said in a statement.
"Also of note is that the percentage of patients achieving ACR50 and ACR70 increased over time and no unexpected safety findings emerged with continued dosing," said Genovese, a member of the steering committee for the study.
Baricitinib belongs to a hot new class of oral medicines called Jak inhibitors that aim to compete with the injected rheumatoid arthritis drugs that currently dominate the market with billions in sales. Pfizer Inc last week became the first company to bring one of the new drugs to market with the U.S. approval of tofacitinib, which will be sold under the brand name Xeljanz.
Jak inhibitors block enzymes believed to be involved in the inflammatory process.
In the sub-study of 154 patients who underwent MRI testing, there was a statistically significant improvement in measures of inflammation and joint damage at the 4 mg and 8 mg doses after 12 weeks compared with placebo, the companies said. The effects persisted through 24 weeks, they said.
In order to compete with the biologic blockbuster injected drugs, such as Abbott Laboratories' $8 billion a year Humira, the Jak inhibitors must show that they can prevent or delay joint deterioration as well as alleviate symptoms.

Tis the Season
Tis the season...
This is the time of the year when charities and fundraisers abound. People's attitudes towards giving change from Thanksgiving through New Year's. I know I'm more likely to put money in canisters, donate more cans to a food drive, put a little extra in the collection at church. Yep, my attitude changes even though I remind myself that I need to give all year because the needy don't just reserve their needs for Christmas.
There's also lots of Christmas parties and holiday concerts/events. Take advantage of the social benefits of these events! Watch your kids, grandkids or neighbor's kids sing their hearts out. Our local grocery stores will be offering wine and beer tastings (Schmicks - Dec 14 and Grocery Kart - Dec 21). Callaway will host their annual Old-Fashioned Christmas in Callaway. I'm disappointed that I have to miss it yet again this year but I just came from Callaway today and I can attest to one thing: they love their Christmas! The lights and decorations look amazing. It's always fun to socialize with friends and family!
And I'd be in trouble if I didn't mention all the trouble local businesses and organizations go to in order to get Santa into their stores. After all, it's his busy season and he's a difficult person to book! Take your kiddoes (unless they are scared to death of Santa, like mine) and plop them on his lap and take some pictures.
Most of all, remember, enjoy yourself and what this season offers. Cross your fingers and hope for snow!

August 30, 2010 - The Charleston GazetteBy Kate Long
CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- West Virginia is taking strong steps to get ready for the new federal health-care reform law, Kathleen Stoll, deputy director of the non-profit Families USA, told a conference of West Virginia health-care workers, policy-makers and advocates Monday.
"I go all over the country, and I would rank West Virginia in the top 10 states in terms of thinking ahead and doing the things that need to be done," she said, speaking at the "Growing Healthy Children" conference in Charleston.
"West Virginia has a real head start on many states," Mark Blum, director of America's Agenda: Health Care for All, agreed.
Conference attendees provided examples:
All West Virginia community health centers have applied for and received federal stimulus grants to expand and improve their physical facilities. Most are adding staff with health-reform dollars. "We're getting ready for many thousands more patients," state Primary Care Association director Louise Reese said.
In 2009, West Virginia applied for and got a $36 million federal grant to help design an online insurance marketplace and expand the state's use of electronic technology to make care less costly and more efficient. "That grant puts us far ahead of the curve," Perry Bryant, director of West Virginians for Affordable Healthcare, said.
The state Bureau for Public Health secured funding to work with local health departments to upgrade their operation and get ready for the new system. "The landscape is shifting, and community health centers, health departments, hospitals, are all finding their best roles," said Joe Barker, who directs the Office of Community Health Systems.
"West Virginia also faces unusual challenges," Blum said. Health care costs 13 percent more in West Virginia than the national average, he noted, and 80 percent of the state's health-care costs are associated with chronic disease, "alarming rates of juvenile diabetes, stroke, heart disease, and hypertension."
Health-care premiums rose four times faster than wages in West Virginia since 2000, Stoll said.
"We have been touted as the most unhealthy state in so many categories, and we know we can do so much better than that," Gov. Joe Manchin told the conference earlier in the day. "The jury is still out on what the final result will be, but we can't stay where we have been and get results."
The new law will primarily benefit working people, Manchin said. "Working people are the main vulnerable group we have out there," he said.
The elderly, veterans, indigent adults, almost all children and disabled people already have health insurance, he noted. "If you're in jail, you're covered," he said. "But many working people are not."
An estimated 236,000 West Virginia adults between 19 and 64 -- one in five -- have no insurance, according to the West Virginia Division of Insurance. Six in ten are from working households.
In 2014, an estimated 170,000 West Virginians will be eligible for health insurance through Medicaid under the new law, Medicaid Commissioner Nancy Atkins told the conference. Many will be children transferred from the Childrens Health Insurance Program, but adults who earn up to 133 percent of the federal poverty level will also be eligible, she said.
Starting in 2014, another estimated 125,000 West Virginia adults with higher incomes can shop for subsidized health insurance through the insurance exchange, according to Division of Insurance preliminary estimates. A family of four earning up to $88,000 will be able to buy subsidized insurance through the exchange, Stoll said.
The federal government will pay 100 percent of the cost of the new Medicaid enrollees till 2020, under the reform law. Thereafter, the state would have to come up with 10 percent of the cost.
Manchin, who is running for the U.S. Senate, told the conference the tobacco tax could be increased specifically to pay the 10 percent cost. "It's time to do that," he said.
According to a 2008 West Virginia Health Care Authority study, the state will save more than $200 million a year in uncompensated health care costs after hundreds of thousands are newly insured. "Right now we're paying hidden costs of unnecessary emergency room visits," Manchin said.
All speakers said the state has much work to do before the major parts of health care reform kick in, in 2014. "It's no longer a fight in Washington, D.C.," Stoll said. "The work is in the states now."
Atkins reeled off a long list of tasks Medicaid must accomplish while getting ready. "But it's an exciting time to be in health care," she said.
The conference, titled "Growing Healthy Children: Health Care Reform Summit" is funded by the Claude Worthington Benedum Foundation, with support from the AARP, West Virginia CHIP, and a variety of statewide health groups, governmental and private.
The conference continues Tuesday at the Charleston Marriott.

The wait is over to see the return to two-wheels by British marque Ariel, as the firm has debuted its very exclusive Ariel Ace motorcycle. Built around a clever modular design, something we have talked about at length here, the Ace is really more than just one motorcycle, and Ariel plans on making each bike bespoke to its customer's wishes.
At the center of every machine is the 1,237cc V4 engine from the Honda VFR1200F, which is good for 170hp, with 95 lbs•ft of peak torque. Because the VFR's engine is being utilized by Ariel, the British brand offers a dual-clutch transmission as one of the Ace's many available options.
Would-be owners will have to decide a number of other options as well, most importantly what kind front-end suspension they wish to run. Ariel offers a traditional upside down Öhlins fork setup, but to be truly unique on the road, the Ariel Ace has an available custom girder suspension setup with an Öhlins TTX at its core. Rear suspension is supplied by Öhlins as well.
Holding everything together is a beautiful aluminum trellis frame, comprised of six sections that are machined to life from billet. Anodized to fit a customer's tastes, the modular chassis design also has mounting points for a variety of options and accessories, such as different bodywork, fenders, fuel tanks, handlebars, rearsets, seats, and wheels.

A: "The face of the Earth." Really? So his $20 million contract will be like some sort of molten lava? First of all, we've not sure how the Heat or Dwyane are going to play it. While there can be no pre-arranged deal regarding an opt-out and a new, more-palatable deal from a team standpoint, such wink-wink negotiations go on all the time. But you are correct, you cannot have a player sitting out games at $240,000 a pop. It is a legitimate issue in this salary-cap, luxury-tax world of the NBA. The difference is Kobe's new deal was signed after he starting going south. When the Heat signed Dwyane to this deal, Wade was at the peak of his productivity.
Q: I don't believe the Pacers are as good as everybody thinks they are. The one thing I can give them is that they play good defense, but their rise has benefited from a decline of other teams in the East and the only reason why they have had any sniff of the Heat is because the Heat Big Three has never been fully healthy. -- J.J., Tampa.
A: No, the Pacers are legit and their record is about far more than beating up on the patsies of the East. I've said this several times recently and I firmly believe it: For the Heat to beat the Pacers, Dwyane Wade has to be better than Lance Stephenson. I'm not sure anyone can say that at this moment with total conviction.
Q: With the Heat in the middle of a road trip, why wouldn't the Big Three have flown home for a few days and then made it to New Orleans in time for the All-Star Game? -- Dennis.
A: Because under NBA rules, players who participate in Sunday's All-Star Game must also participate in the Friday media session and the Saturday practice. But LeBron James, Chris Bosh and Wade also relish the exposure and marketing opportunities. They want to be there for the entire weekend. What gets me is how players complain about the lack of time off during All-Star Weekend and then run themselves ragged between promotional and marketing events.

Dr. Diana Bianchi Presents Data Demonstrating Verinata Health's Proprietary Technology Detects Genetic Abnormalities In Twin Pregnancies
- Study Demonstrates Necessity of Deeper Sequencing in Multiple Gestation Pregnancies -
Feb 15, 2013, 06:30 EST
REDWOOD CITY, Calif., Feb. 15, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Verinata Health, Inc., a privately-held company dedicated to maternal and fetal health, today presented data demonstrating its approach to detect aneuploidies in maternal blood from multiple gestation pregnancies.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20120425/SF94380LOGO)
Contrary to previous study findings by other investigators, this study demonstrated that each fetus in twin pregnancies contributes approximately 50 percent less cell-free fetal DNA to a maternal blood sample when compared to the cell-free DNA makeup of singleton pregnancies. As a result of this reduced fetal fraction, deeper sequencing is necessary to determine if a chromosome abnormality is or is not present in one or both of the fetuses with a high degree of confidence.
"While we were able to correctly detect aneuploidy in twin pregnancies with a sequencing depth similar to that currently implemented for singleton pregnancies, deeper sequencing offers better resolution and discrimination for these complex samples," said Richard Rava, Ph.D., Chief Scientific Officer of Verinata Health. "Thus, it may reduce the number of false negatives and increase the confidence in the results for multiple gestation pregnancies."
The analysis included 85 maternal plasma samples that were previously excluded from Verinata's large, blinded, prospective validation study of singleton pregnancies. The full singleton study results were previously published in the peer-reviewed journal, Obstetrics & Gynecology (Green Journal). The results show that Verinata's technology correctly detected the one incidence of Down syndrome (trisomy 21) and one incidence of Edwards syndrome (trisomy 18) present within this study population. Importantly, the study also demonstrated that 10 to 15 percent of cases may be at risk of having inadequate fetal cfDNA for accurate classification. Verinata's unique approach using deeper sequencing is required to provide confidence that aneuploidies will be correctly identified.
The study results were presented in an oral presentation entitled "Maternal Plasma DNA Sequencing: Effects of Multiple Gestation on Aneuploidy Detection and the Relative Cell-Free Fetal DNA (cffDNA) per Fetus," (Oral Concurrent Session 4, Program ID#52). Diana Bianchi, M.D. of the Mother Infant Research Institute at Tufts Medical Center presented the data at the 33rd Annual Meeting of the Society for Maternal-Fetal Medicine on February 15, 2013 at 3:15 p.m. Pacific Time.
Verinata Health, Inc.
Verinata is driven by a sole, extraordinary purpose – maternal and fetal health. Our initial focus is to develop and offer non-invasive tests for early identification of fetal chromosomal abnormalities using our proprietary technologies. We aim to reduce the anxiety associated with today's multi-step process, the unacceptable false-positive rates, the non-specific and sometimes confusing results of current prenatal screening methods, as well as the risk of current invasive procedures. We support national guidelines and the recent American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists and the Society for Maternal-Fetal Medicine Committee Opinion recommending cell-free DNA prenatal testing is one option that can be used as a primary or secondary screening test in women at increased risk of aneuploidy. We believe women who desire such testing should be offered a single blood draw test with a definitive result. The verifi® prenatal test is available through a physician.

Given that I've just embarked on helping to compile Locus's annual recommended reading issue, I'm curious what blog readers think of such things. Are they worthwhile? Are they anything more than fun?Personally, I like seeing all the lists, but purely out of interest in what people hold onto after a year of reading. If they are worthwhile for me, they're worthwhile in pointing out books I might have neglected otherwise.
Therefore, why don't we encourage more "most unjustly neglected books of the year" lists? I've read more stories than books this year, so my own opinion is nearly useless, though if forced to choose, I'd say the book I read this year that deserves more attention than it has gotten so far is probably The Labyrinth by Cathrynne M. Valente, although it has gotten some good word-of-mouth. I realize it's a book that will appeal to a small audience, one willing to be entranced by language, but I have found since reading it that much of the book has stuck with me more vividly than many, many other things I read this year. The runner-up for most unjustly neglected book would be Travel in the Mouth of the Wolf by Paul Fattaruso, but I actually saw that one at a bookstore the other day, which is not true for the Valente, so The Labyrinth wins.
Many of you, my dear readers, have read far more books than I this year, so what would you suggest? The comments link has been a little buggy recently, so feel free to email me with recommendations and I will post a list a week from now. If there is one book-length work of fiction from this year that you could immediately double the sales of, what would it be? (Other than your own book, if you published one!)

Taylor, Tami, and the Kids
At the NBC Universal Experience yesterday when the network presented its 2008/2009 offering, a few cast members from the best show on television, Friday Night Lights, showed up to celebrate Ben Silverman's smart decision to bring it back for a third season.
No, I won't shut my ass about FNL. And hell yeah it's satisfying to hear it later on – when those of you who finally give in write to say you had to take a day off work to get through the dvds.
I'm telling you… spend the summer getting to know Dillon, Texas. Way more stimulating that American Gladiators. WTF???
Here are Connie Britton, Minka Kelly, and Zach Gilford yesterday led by the quivering piece of man hotness Kyle Chandler who put on his "Coach isn't happy" face just because it's been so long.
Clear eyes, full hearts, can't lose.
