Major News and Events of 08 February 2016
What Happened on 08 February 2016
Govt. land details to go online by June
Lenovo Yoga 900 Convertible laptop now in India
Sensex expected to open lower today
David Headley, key suspect in 26/11 Mumbai attack to testify today
LeEco eyes to be among top 3 smartphone companies in India
Unlike the falling prices for imports on Friday, the NSE Nifty has deterred countries like China from undercutting local mills. Lenders such as State Bank of India have played a huge role in sky-rocketing NSE Nifty trades. With the overall sentiment remaining fragile, a majority of investors are pointing out global factors to put an impact on local shares until the government unveils its 2016/17 budget on 29 February 2016.
Come June and the elaborate details of government land will be available online. A special GIS based government land information system has been developed to aid the creation of a complete land inventory across India, particularly those owned by the central government departments and their affiliate firms.
Today, Lenovo announced the launch of its Yoga 900 convertible laptop and the Yoga Tab 3 Pro in India. The Lenovo Yoga 900 Convertible laptop runs on Intel 6th generation Skylake processor and is available at a price of Rs. 1,22,090. On the contrary, the Yoga 900 tablet will cost you Rs. 39,990. Other impressive specifications of the Lenovo Yoga 900 Convertible laptop include 16GB of RAM and 512 GB SSD.
With the Nifty futures trading on the Singapore Stock Exchange (SGX) lower to 32 points or 0.43 percent, today the domestic markets are expected to open at a lower price. A greater focus on the steel stocks will lead to its gain with a minimum import price being set for over 173 steel products. Also, this would help the domestic producers from cheap Chinese imports.
For the first time in the Indian history, foreign terrorist David Coleman Headley would depose before a special Mumbai Court via video conference. Today, he would be revealing the sequence of events and planning behind the 26/11 terror attacks. Headley, aged 55, was earlier pardoned and made an approver by additional sessions judge G.A. Sanap.
Formerly known as LeTv, the Chinese Internet company LeEco is watching out for achieving its niche among the top three smartphone companies in India by the end of 2016. Launched last year in China, LeEco has already sold over four million smartphones and three million televisions in its home market. Already the number one online brand in China, LeEco is exclusively available on Flipkart.

Morgan le Fay, 6th-century Queen of Gore and the only major character not killed off by Mark Twain in A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court, vows revenge upon the Yankee Hank Morgan. She casts a spell to take her to 1879 Connecticut so she may waylay Sir Boss before he can travel back in time to destroy her world. But the spell misses by 300 miles and 200 years, landing her in the Washington, D.C., of 2079, replete with flying limousines, hovering office buildings, virtual-reality television, and sundry other technological marvels.
Whatever is a time-displaced queen of magic and minions to do? Why, rebuild her kingdom, of course—two kingdoms, in fact: as Campaign Boss for the reelection of American President Malory Beckham Hinton, and as owner of the London Knights world-champion baseball franchise.
Written as though by the old master himself, King Arthur's Sister in Washington's Court by Mark Twain as channeled by Kim Iverson Headlee offers laughs, love, and a candid look at American society, popular culture, politics, baseball...and the human heart.
My Thoughts
This book is a really great book. It is a continuing story from Mark Twains story about the famous king. I dont really know what to say about the book more than that I really enjoyed reading it. The story is well written and well presented. IT is easy to follow and from time to time very funny.
I like the style the book is written in, and how it is presented. I couldnt put the book down when I was reading it so my reading before bed turned out to be a whole nighter. Even if this book is different from other books I have read latley, it is still a really good read and the mix of things and the mix of feelings it gives me is awesome.
I can really recommend this book to others.

Fraser report finds growing gap between student grades and diploma exam results
Teacher-granted course marks have become increasingly higher than diploma exam marks in several Calgary high schools over the past five years, according to new data released by the Fraser Institute.
In the Report Card on Alberta High Schools 2017, which analyzes a number of indicators based on diploma exam results, several Calgary high schools, including Central Memorial, James Fowler and Lester B. Pearson are showing large discrepancies between the school and final exam marks.
James Fowler students showed the biggest difference where, on average, school grades were 11.4 per cent higher than exam marks in all diploma courses taken in 2016. That's a big jump from 2012 when school grades were only 6.6 per cent higher, on average than test marks. School grades were also 11.1 per cent higher at Lester B. Pearson and 9.6 per cent higher at Central Memorial High School in 2016, also big jumps from 2012 when they were just 6.7 per cent and 6.8 per cent higher comparably.
On average, almost all other high schools in both the Calgary Catholic School District and the Calgary Board of Education showed higher grades in school than they did on diploma exams, with overall averages showing school grades 6.86 per cent higher in 2016, as compared to 5.51 per cent higher in 2012.
Peter Cowley, director of the Centre for School Performance Studies at the Fraser Institute, says the data is a significant indicator that parents need to be asking questions.
"Our report card shows that there has not been a single instance in the most recent five years where a school's average exam mark was higher than its average school mark. In this edition of the Fraser Institute 2017 report card on Alberta high schools, the average percentage by which school marks exceed exam marks could easily be as much as a full letter grade," Cowley said.
"In essence, students are being cheated by allowing them to think that they understand the material better than they actually do."
But the Alberta Teachers' Association says there is no value in ranking schools based on test grades.
"I wouldn't put so much value into a three-hour exam versus a five-month evaluation from a teacher," said Greg Jeffery, president of the ATA.
Two years ago, the province reduced the value of diploma exams from 50 per cent of the final grade to 30 per cent. But the ATA, Jeffery said, wants that reduced even further to 20 per cent.
"These exams can be very stressful for a lot of students. It is very high stakes stuff and there's a lot of anxiety."
In fact, according to an Environics phone survey commissioned by the ATA this spring, 93 per cent of Albertans agree there is more to learning than what standardized testing can measure; 65 per cent say schools should not be ranked according to test results; and, 85 per cent are concerned with levels of support for students with special needs.
Parents agree that classes are becoming increasingly complex and are asking why test results and teacher grades are so far apart.
Standardized tests are typically written with an embedded bias, particularly since many students at schools with large gaps come from highly-diverse backgrounds where English may not be their first language, argues Barb Silva, spokeswoman for the Support Our Students advocacy group.

"The question should be, 'Why isn't the exam reflective of what the teacher is seeing? And why aren't we putting more resources into the classroom to ensure students can be in a good place so that they can learn?'"
Silva's Support Our Students group conducted a comprehensive survey of school principals across the province this past spring which showed that schools are chronically underfunded, lacking support for kids with stress and special needs, and lacking resources for health care, physical education and libraries.
The results of the audit show the growing need to provide more supports to public education, instead of attacking teachers, students and the system for failing at exams, Silva added.
"Expecting to find an amazing end product, when we haven't even done the work at the front end, is just foolhardy," Silva said.
Susannah Thomsen, spokeswoman for the Kids Come First parent group, agrees that public education needs more resources, but adds that standardized tests are a good indicator of a student's overall grasp of the curriculum and teachers need to ensure their students are ready.
"Parents are really concerned. They're worried kids just aren't performing at the level they need to be, especially to be ready for post-secondary."
Kids Come First compiled data around grade inflation in high school math earlier this spring, arguing the results are reflective of a larger problem within the public system. Their data results were very similar to the Fraser Institute's results, suggesting a trend towards higher teacher-granted grades than diploma exam grades.

So I came home (to Canada, from Japan) for Christmas and decided to see an English-speaking neurologist while I had the chance. The man was very professional and although I had written a list of symptoms so that I wouldn't forget anything, his questions dragged all the info out of me anyway (well, all except the ocular migraine which I brought up).
Then I had an EMG, which was frustrating because that day I had almost no twitches and it was only on my calves and in the fleshy bit of my thumbs that he eventually found some. He said there was no sign of degeneration or wasting, and that he could confidently rule out ALS and diagnose my condition as benign fasciculations.
Keen to set my other late-night worst fears to rest, though I wasn't really worrying much at the time, I said, "But I feel my hands also feel unsteady -- they sometimes shake when I'm emailing on my phone -- should I worry about something like Parkinson's?"
"No," he warmly replied, "that sounds like it might be essential tremor. Essential tremor is very common, is often hereditary, and will affect you when you are moving your muscles but disappear when you are at rest, whereas Parkinson appears at rest."
"What about Lyme's disease or MS?"
"Lyme's disease would tend to be concentrated in one place and I would have expected to see something with the EMG," he reassured me, "and the movement from spasticity in MS is quite different."
There might have been more to my visit with the neurologist, but that's all I can remember off the top of my head, reproduced to the best of my abilities.

"I'm never going to be able to do this...I'll never finish..."
and I believed it.
It was a hard week. A long training week and a very long and hard training weekend. We had a 3 hour ride on Saturday. We rode from Burleson to Grandview...and back. I always thought Grandview was a long DRIVE.... much less a bike ride. We did that first thing Saturday morning and still got shocked by the heat. Overall, it was a good ride. Did you know that Grandview is mostly UP hill? I never would have guessed that.... but it sure felt like it. We got in 40 miles round trip in just under 3 hours. (sorry coach, I didn't do the whole 3...) With my MPH average with that ride I would be in just under the cutoff at IRONMAN Florida. I'm good with that...as long as I just make it.
Sunday was a 2 hour run. It was also the hottest day of the summer so far, at a scorching 102 degrees. Actually, when we started our run at 6:30... it was down to 101. The run started out great. I was having a solid run up until about an hour - fifteen. Then I started to feel sick to my stomach. From there, it only got worse. I had been feeding my body the whole run with water, nutritional GU and salt tablets... so I really thought I was ok. I felt terrible though and it didn't help that this had happened to me earlier in the week to. Seems like anything over 6 or 7 miles...I just hit a wall and can't go any further. My nutrition needs a major overhaul and I'm clueless as to where to start.
Don't even get me started on the swim. Although I feel like I'm doing much better in the pool, I really need to get myself out to open water more often so I don't have a complete panic attack in Florida. But that is far from my mind right now.
Along these same lines...I will tell you I'm an absolute mess. Before my training started, my activity level was low...VERY low. I have never IN MY LIFE worked out this much. 6 days a week... and most days 2 workouts a day.... NEVER NEVER NEVER has my body seen this type of activity. With that said...this type of new activity and a woman's hormones are cray cray! I can 100% feel a huge ugly cry fest coming on.. (watch out Jason) and maybe once that happens I'll feel better. I mean I almost cried at an episode of Sophia The First....and the Subaru commercial with little girl in the drivers seat..... that one gets me every time. It's a proven fact, higher activity in woman can definitely mess with your hormone level. Just watch out when your around me for the next 3-4 months. If you say the wrong thing.. I may bust out crying and you'll be stuck consoling me for who knows how long.
My body is telling me it needs a rest. (which today is a rest day, yay!) But just one won't do it. Tomorrow I am back at it and will be until next Monday. If I take too long of a rest, all of this training will be useless and it'll be like starting over again.
This is hard ya'll.... really hard.
I would say this ranks way up there with one of the most challenging things I have ever done. It's a true test to my ability, my mind and my life.
So... that's it. Thats my pity party for the time being.

Potentially Good News on Immigration Reform. Late Monday, the Department of Justice file a Petition for Rehearing with the Supreme Court in the case of United States v. Texas when a ninth justice is Action for Parents of Americans and Lawful Permanent Residents (DAPA) and expanded Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA). As you may recall, last month the Court handed down a "non-decision" because of a 4-4 tie.
American Immigration Lawyers Association (AILA) President William A. Stock noted, "The Department of Justice took a considered and appropriate step by asking for a rehearing on this case, given its importance and given the reality that the Supreme Court was hamstrung on a decision that affects millions simply because of a vacancy on the court. The position we find ourselves in, with a Congress unable to lead on immigration reform, and a Supreme Court unable to reach a decision, is an unusual and untenable situation that warrants a rehearing."
Benjamin Johnson, AILA's Executive Director, commented, "The 'non-decision' issued in United States v. Texas is one that is ripe for a rehearing and AILA urges the Court to approve the government's request to take up this case when the court's bench is full again. The lower court has already shown a willingness to act against historical and legal precedent to the detriment of children and parents. Rehearing this case is the right thing to do, so that millions of American families will finally know where they stand, and whether America stands with them."
The American Immigration Lawyers Association is the national association of immigration lawyers established to promote justice, advocate for fair and reasonable immigration law and policy, advance the quality of immigration and nationality law and practice, and enhance the professional development of its members.
At Miley & Brown, we strive to provide current immigration information and to push for humane immigration outcomes. We can all help. Visit our web site http://www.mileybrown.com. Contact Congress to tell them that you want fair and humane treatment for asylum seekers. Every voice matters.

Moniker: A friendly sans for complex matters
Taking inspiration from the rounded sans serifs of the last 50 years, Moniker captures the informal tone of the genre while building on the typographic possibilities left under-explored. Its open terminations, slightly condensed lowercase and almost classically proportioned uppercase bring a sensible workhorse mentality to an often display-centric genre. Continuous running text, charts, graphs and tables can join headlines and decks in communicating a friendly and approachable message. The full family consists of five weights, with lively matching italics and small caps, making it suitable for a variety of design tasks from wayfinding to identity work.
The display of numerical data is an increasingly crucial element of daily communication and Moniker features a full set of number styles to address this need. Lining numerals (default) as well as old style, small cap, tabular, tabular old style and small cap tabular numerals for each weight – italics included – are standard in the full version of the Complete Family.
Moniker features an italic that mimics the left to right movement of italic handwriting. In contrast to an oblique roman, the strokes are slightly thinner, the joins more dramatic and the rhythm more pronounced, making it easier to distinguish when set with the roman.
And small caps too! Just like our other fully-featured OpenType families, Moniker has a complete set of small caps, matching small cap numerals and punctuation at small cap height.
In a nod to the informality of the rounded genre we've included a single OpenType stylistic alternate 'a'. It's a small detail, but it's one that adds a casual tone to headlines and text.
To keep Moniker accessible, we've also created Moniker Basic for those requiring something stripped down. Moniker Basic is the same as Moniker but does not have OpenType features like small caps or different number styles. If you buy Moniker Basic and later decided to upgrade, the purchase price is directly credited towards the Complete Family.

The Dominican Devotion to the Rosary
The Rosary was popularized by Alan de la Roche (1428-1475), a Breton Dominican with a great reputation for sanctity. He propagated devotion to the Virgin's Psalter in northern France and in Flanders, organizing Rosary Confraternities everywhere for all people, who were avid for indulgences in a period of war, famine and schism, eager "to be preserved from sudden death and the assaults of the devil".
Where was St. Dominic in all this? It seems that, in his ardor to propagate the Rosary, it was Blessed Alan de la Roche who attempted to attribute its invention to the Founder of his Order, taking his stand on a number of testimonies that we have to admit were not especially accurate. He seems to have relied heavily on a treatise written by a certain John of Monte (d. 1442), a Dominican bishop and friend of the Carthusians.
No one will deny that through the centuries a special bond was established between the Rosary and the Order of St. Dominic. It was to a Dominican, an Inquisitor moreover, Jacques Sprenger (I436 1496), the famous co author of Hammer of the Witches but also founder of a Rosary Confraternity in Cologne, that the division of the mysteries into joyful, sorrowful and glorious events, which has rhythmically supported the piety of whole generations, was attributed. There was wisdom in making of the Rosary not a particular devotion but an authentic prayer of the Church. Pius V, that austere and devout Dominican Pope, attributed to the Rosary the victory of Lepanto where, thanks to Don Juan of Austria, the advance of the Turks into Europe was checked in 1571. As the Venetian Senate recorded it, it was neither courage nor arms nor leaders who won the victory, but "Mary of the Rosary", honored under the title of "Our Lady of Victory".
While Dominicans wear the Rosary on their belts like the professed Carthusians, while generations of Preachers have devoted themselves to a popular apostolate, in the sense of the ecclesiology of the "People of God" long before this expression became so highly valued, we can realize what medieval men were trying to do by attributing the invention of the Rosary to St. Dominic. They wanted, in their poetic way, to express the power of prayer in which the Founder so confidently believed, and the role of the Virgin in salvation history.
Let us recall how Michelangelo expressed this conviction – he who, moreover, had contributed to the restoration of St. Dominic's tomb in Bologna. In the center of the Last Judgment in the Sistine Chapel, an angel carrying a crown of rose-colored beads extends it to two figures, who cling to it so strongly that it draws them upward toward Christ in glory. At the Redeemer's side, enfolded in her mantle, the Virgin, in an attitude of prayer, contemplates the Day of the Lord. Fra Angelico gives her the same position in his painting of the judgment at St. Mark's in Florence.
This contemporary of Alan de la Roche places St. Dominic at the extreme end of the choir of prophets and apostles. The glorious mystery, total and definitive, gives to Mary her role in the communion of saints, in the Church. It was fitting that Dominic, in his Marian devotion, which was inseparable from his apostolic zeal, should be thus represented in the beatitude he had so ardently announced.

Starving Prostate Cancer: Scientists Discover How to Cut Off Cancer's Food Supply
Researchers at the Centenary Institute in Sydney have discovered a potential future treatment for prostate cancer – through starving the tumor 1) ___ of an essential nutrient they need to grow rapidly. Their work, with human cells reveals targets for drugs that could slow the progress of early and late stage prostate cancer. The research has been funded by the Prostate Cancer Foundation of Australia (PCFA) and Movember.
Each year about 3,300 Australian men die of prostate cancer. It's Australia's second worst cancer killer for 2) ___, matching the impact of breast cancer on women. Current therapies for prostate cancer include surgical removal of the prostate, radiation, freezing the tumor or cutting off the supply of the hormone testosterone – but there are often side-effects including 3) ___ and impotence. Growing cells need an essential nutrient, the amino acid called leucine, which is pumped into the cell by specialized proteins. And this could be prostate cancer's weak link.
Dr Jeff Holst and his team at the Centenary Institute found, in a study to be published this month in Cancer Research, that prostate cancer cells have more pumps than normal. This allows the cancer cells to take in more leucine and outgrow normal cells. "This information allows us to target the pumps – and we've tried two routes. We found that we could disrupt the uptake of leucine firstly by reducing the expression amount of the protein pumps, and secondly by introducing a drug that competes with leucine. Both approaches slowed 4) ___ growth, in essence 'starving' the cancer cells," Dr Holst says.
First author Dr Qian Wang says by targeting different sets of pumps, we were able to slow tumor growth in both the early and 5) ___ stages of prostate cancer. "In some of the experiments, we were able to slow tumor growth by as much as 50%. Our hope is that we could develop a treatment that slows the growth of the cancer so that it would not require 6) ___ removal." Dr Holst says one of the other spin-offs of the discovery is a better understanding of the links between prostate cancer and eating foods high in leucine. "Diets high in red meat and dairy are correlated with prostate cancer but still no one really understands why. We have already begun examining whether these pumps can explain the links between diet and 7) ___ cancer."
"This fundamental research tells us more about how prostate and other cancers grow, and will open the way for new treatments in the long term," says Movember chairman Paul Villanti. Movember is now one of the largest non-government global funders of prostate cancer 8) ___. PCFA CEO Dr Anthony Lowe says research that has the potential to reduce the impact of prostate cancer on those who are diagnosed is a huge priority for the PCFA's grants program.
Leucine, which isn't produced by the 9) ___ body, is found in protein-rich animal foods such as beef, chicken, fish, dairy, and eggs. Listed below, is the amount of leucine (in descending order) in some protein rich foods:
- Egg, white, raw, fresh Leucine: 4233mg
- Soy protein isolate, potassium type, crude protein basis Leucine: 4226mg
- Seaweed, spirulina, raw Leucine: 3915mg
- Chicken, broilers or fryers, breast, meat only, cooked, rotisserie, original seasoning Leucine: 3698mg
- Fish, tuna, light, canned in water, drained solids Leucine: 3574mg
- Turkey, fryer-roasters, breast, meat only, cooked, roasted Leucine: 3549mg
- Cheese, cottage, lowfat, 1% milkfat Leucine: 3540mg
- Beef, center-cut, cooked Leucine: 2943
ANSWERS: 1) cells; 2) men; 3) incontinence; 4) cancer; 5) late; 6) surgical; 7) prostate; 8) research; 9) human

Eric Richard Kandel MD (1929 to Present)
Eric Richard Kandel (born November 7, 1929) is an American neuropsychiatrist who was a recipient of the 2000 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for his research on the physiological basis of memory storage in neurons. Kandel is professor of biochemistry and biophysics at the Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons and a Senior Investigator in the Howard Hughes Medical Institute. He was also the founding director of the Center for Neurobiology and Behavior, which is now the Department of Neuroscience at Columbia. Kandel authored In Search of Memory: The Emergence of a New Science of Mind (WW Norton), which chronicles his life and research.
Kandel was born in 1929 in Vienna, Austria, in a middle-class Jewish family. When Eric was 9, he and his brother Ludwig, 14, boarded the "Gerolstein" at Antwerp in Belgium and joined their uncle in Brooklyn on May 11, 1939. After arriving in the United States, Kandel was tutored by his grandfather in Judaic studies, and was accepted at the Yeshiva of Flatbush, graduating in 1944. He attended Brooklyn's Erasmus Hall High School, a Public high school.
Kandel's initial intellectual interests lay in the area of history. (History and Literature was his undergraduate major at Harvard University.) He wrote an honors dissertation on "The Attitude Toward National Socialism of Three German Writers: Carl Zuckmayer, Hans Carossa, and Ernst Junger." While at Harvard, a place dominated by the work of B. F. Skinner, Kandel became interested in learning and memory. It should be noted, however, that while Skinner championed a strict separation of psychology, as its own level of discourse, from biological considerations such as neurology, Kandel's work is essentially centered on an explication of the relationships between psychology and neurology.
The world of neuroscience was first opened up to Kandel through his interactions with a college girlfriend, Anna Kris, whose parents were Freudian psychoanalysts. Freud, a pioneer in revealing the importance of unconscious neural processes, was at the root of Kandel's interest in the biology of motivation and unconscious and conscious memory. In 1952 Kandel started at the New York University Medical School. Kandel was first exposed to research in Harry Grundfest's laboratory at Columbia University. Grundfest was known for using the oscilloscope to demonstrate that action potential conduction velocity depends on axon diameter. The researchers Kandel interacted with were contemplating the technically challenging idea of intracellular recordings of the electrical activity of the relatively small neurons of the vertebrate brain.
After starting his neurobiological work in the difficult thicket of the electrophysiology of the cerebral cortex, Kandel was impressed by the progress that had been made by Stephen Kuffler using a much more experimentally accessible system: neurons isolated from marine invertebrates. After becoming aware of Kuffler's work in 1955, Kandel graduated from medical school and learned from Stanley Crain how to make microelectrodes that could be used for intracellular recordings of relatively large crayfish giant axons.
When Kandel joined the Laboratory of Neurophysiology at the NIH in 1957, William Beecher Scoville and Brenda Milner had recently described the patient HM, who had lost explicit memory storage following removal of the hippocampus. Kandel took on the task of performing electrophysiological recordings of hippocampal pyramidal neurons. Working with Alden Spencer, electrophysiological evidence was found for action potentials in the dendritic trees of hippocampal neurons. They also noticed the spontaneous pace-maker-like activity of these neurons and a robust recurrent inhibition in the hippocampus. With respect to memory, there was nothing in the general electrophysiological properties of hippocampal neurons that suggested why the hippocampus was special for explicit memory storage.
Kandel began to realize that memory storage must rely on modifications in the synaptic connections between neurons and that the complex connectivity of the hippocampus did not provide the best system for study of the detailed function of synapses. Kandel was aware that comparative studies of behavior, such as those by Konrad Lorenz, Niko Tinbergen, and Karl von Frisch had revealed conservation of simple forms of learning across all animals. Kandel felt it would be productive to select a simple animal model that would facilitate electrophysiological analysis of the synaptic changes involved in learning and memory storage. This decision was not without risks since many senior biologists and psychologists believed that nothing useful could be learned about human memory by studying invertebrate physiology.
In 1962, after completing his residency in psychiatry, Kandel went to Paris to learn about the marine mollusc Aplysia californica. Kandel had realized that simple forms of learning such as habituation, sensitization, classical conditioning, and operant conditioning could readily be studied with ganglia isolated from Aplysia. While recording the behavior of a single cell in a ganglion, one nerve axon pathway to the ganglion could be stimulated weakly electrically as a conditioned [tactile] stimulus, while another pathway was stimulated as an unconditioned [pain] stimulus, following the exact protocol used for classical conditioning with natural stimuli in intact animals. Electrophysiological changes resulting from the combined stimuli could then be traced to specific synapses. In 1965 Kandel published his initial results, including a form of pre-synaptic potentiation that seemed to correspond to a simple form of learning.
Eric Kandel in 1978
Kandel took a position in the Departments of Physiology and Psychiatry at the New York University Medical School, eventually forming the Division of Neurobiology and Behavior. Working with Irving Kupferman and Harold Pinsker it was possible to develop protocols for demonstrating simple forms of learning by intact Aplysia. In particular, the now famous gill-withdrawal reflex, by which the tender Aplysia gill tissue is withdrawn from danger, was shown to be sensitive to both habituation and sensitization. By 1971 Tom Carew joined the research group and helped extend the work from studies restricted to short-term memory to additional experiments that included additional physiological processes required for long-term memory.
By 1981, laboratory members including Terry Walters, Tom Abrams, and Robert Hawkins had been able to extend the Aplysia system into the study of classical conditioning, a finding which helped close the apparent gap between the simple forms of learning often associated with invertebrates and more complex types of learning more often recognized in vertebrates. Along with the fundamental behavioral studies, other work in the lab traced the neuronal circuits of sensory neurons, interneurons, and motor neurons involved in the learned behaviors. This allowed analysis of the specific synaptic connections that are modified by learning in the intact animals. The results from Kandel's laboratory provided solid evidence for the mechanistic basis of learning as "a change in the functional effectiveness of previously existing excitatory connections."
Starting in 1966 James Schwartz collaborated with Kandel on a biochemical analysis of changes in neurons associated with learning and memory storage. By this time it was known that long-term memory, unlike short-term memory, involved the synthesis of new proteins. By 1972 they had evidence that the second messenger molecule cyclic AMP (cAMP) was produced in Aplysia ganglia under conditions that cause short-term memory formation (sensitization). In 1974 the Kandel lab moved to Columbia University as founding director of the Center for Neurobiology and Behavior. It was soon found that the neurotransmitter serotonin acting to produce the second messenger cAMP is involved in the molecular basis of sensitization of the gill-withdrawal reflex. By 1980, collaboration with Paul Greengard resulted in demonstration that cAMP-dependent protein kinase (PKA) acted in this biochemical pathway in response to elevated levels of cAMP.
In 1983 Kandel helped form the Howard Hughes Medical Research Institute at Columbia devoted to molecular neural science. The Kandel lab took on the task of identifying proteins that had to be synthesized in order to convert short-term memories into long-lasting memories. The Kandel lab has also performed important experiments using transgenic mice as a system for investigating the molecular basis of memory storage in the vertebrate hippocampus. Kandel's original idea that learning mechanisms would be conserved between all animals has been confirmed. Neurotransmitters, second messenger systems, protein kinases, ion channels, and transcription factors have been confirmed to function in both vertebrate and invertebrate learning and memory storage.

Rare Autoinflammatory Disease in Children
Dr. Mark L. Horn, our CMO will be attending the American Rheumatology Association meeting this week. Let us know if you are attending.
An international collaboration of scientists, including those at the National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases (NIAMS), has identified a genetic mutation that causes a rare childhood disease characterized predominantly by inflammation and fat loss. The research suggests that the disorder, named chronic atypical neutrophilic dermatosis with lipodystrophy and elevated temperature (CANDLE), actually represents a spectrum of diseases that have been described in the literature under a variety of names. More importantly, since no effective treatment for this disease currently exists, the findings may have uncovered a possible target for future treatments.
The collaboration began when NIAMS rheumatologist Dr. Raphaela Goldbach-Mansky, started seeking the cause of inflammatory skin lesions, fat loss and fevers in two of her young patients. At a scientific meeting, she learned about recent publications by two other research groups — one led by dermatologists Dr. Antonio Torrelo from the Boy Jesus Hospital, Madrid, and Dr. Amy Paller from Northwestern University, Chicago, and the other led by Dr. Abraham Zlotogorski from the Hadassah-Hebrew University Medical Center, Jerusalem – describing similar conditions.
Based on the clinical presentation and, particularly, the unusual skin lesions seen in the children, it was hypothesized that the children must have the same disease. Subsequent analyses involving biopsies, blood tests and genetic testing confirmed the hypothesis. All but one child had at least one mutation in a gene called PSMB8, which had been recently identified in three adult patients with a disease called joint contractures, muscle atrophy and panniculitis-associated lipodystrophy (JMP). PSMB8 is one of more than 20 components involved in making a cellular structure called a proteasome, which recycles proteins from cells that are stressed or dying.
The one patient without the mutation had a blood profile that was identical to the ones who did, and showed the same accumulation of waste products in the cells seen in children with the genetic mutation. Blood tests also showed high levels of an inflammatory chemical called interferon gamma-induced protein 10 (IP-10) that is stimulated by interferons. The chemical is produced in response to some infections, and the group suspects that it also may be produced in the cellular stress response.
The discovery, which is reported online in Arthritis & Rheumatism (27 Oct 2011), unifies several different diseases into one spectrum of proteasome-associated autoinflammatory syndromes. The authors hope that these findings will enable the identification of more children who fit into this spectrum of difficult-to-treat disorders so that they can develop a better understanding of the disorders and their treatment.
Despite the best treatments currently available — which, in most cases, consist of high doses of steroids — children with these disorders continue to lose fat and suffer metabolic changes that lead to a range of problems, including loss of muscle mass, dilated heart muscles and cardiac arrhythmias. Treatments for other inflammatory diseases have little, if any, effect on the prognoses of these diseases. The group's findings, however, suggest new therapeutic targets.

No Effect of Radiograph Screening on Lung Cancer Mortality
The effect on mortality of screening for lung cancer with modern chest radiographs is unknown. As a result, a study published online in the Journal of the American Medical Association (2011;306:1865-1873) was performed to evaluate the effect on mortality of screening for lung cancer using radiographs.
The investigation was part of the randomized Prostate, Lung, Colorectal, and Ovarian (PLCO) Cancer Screening Trial that involved 154,901 participants aged 55 through 74 years, 77,445 of whom were assigned to annual screenings and 77,456 to usual care.
Study participants in the intervention group were offered annual posteroanterior view chest radiograph for 4 years. Diagnostic follow-up of positive screening results was determined by participants and their health care practitioners. Participants in the usual care group were offered no interventions and received their usual medical care. All diagnosed cancers, deaths, and causes of death were ascertained through the earlier of 13 years of follow-up or until December 31, 2009. The main outcome measures was mortality from lung cancer. Secondary outcomes included lung cancer incidence, complications associated with diagnostic procedures, and all-cause mortality.
Results showed that screening adherence was 86.6% at baseline and 79% to 84% at years 1 through 3. Cumulative lung cancer incidence rates through 13 years of follow-up were 20.1 per 10,000 person-years in the intervention group and 19.2 per 10,000 person-years in the usual care group. A total of 1,213 lung cancer deaths were observed in the intervention group compared with 1,230 in usual care group through 13 years (mortality RR, 0.99). Stage and histology were similar between the 2 groups.
According to the authors, annual screening with chest radiograph did not reduce lung cancer mortality compared with usual care.

Broad Spectrum of Cancer Risk for Organ Transplant Recipients
In 2010, a total of 28,664 organ transplants were performed in the U.S., including 16,899 kidney, 6,291 liver, 2,333 heart, and 1,770 lung transplants.
It has been well documented that transplant recipients are at a higher risk for developing cancer than the general population. But past studies of cancer risk in transplant recipients focused mainly on those who received kidney transplants, and other studies were too small to accurately estimate risk for all but the most common cancer types. As a result, a study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association (2011;306:1891-1901), has now shown that organ transplant recipients in the U.S. have a high risk of developing 32 different types of cancer. The study evaluated medical data from more than 175,700 transplant recipients, accounting for about 40% of all organ transplant recipients in the country.
The study, which linked data from the U.S. registry of transplant recipients (from 1987 through 2008) with 13 state or regional cancer registries of all solid organ types, allowed the authors to provide more accurate estimates of risk for both common and rarer cancers in a representative sample of the U.S. transplant population. Results showed a twofold overall increased risk of cancer among all transplant recipients, which is similar to results from past studies but also an elevated risk for 32 different types of cancer, some known to be related to infectious agents (e.g., anal cancer, Kaposi sarcoma) and others unrelated to infections (e.g., melanoma, thyroid cancer).
The study also found that the most common cancers among transplant recipients were non-Hodgkin lymphoma (14.1% of all cancers in transplant recipients), lung cancer (12.6%), liver cancer (8.7%), and kidney cancer (7.1%). The authors carried out additional analyses of these four cancers and, based on known risk and their new study, report:
— Non-Hodgkin lymphoma is elevated more than sevenfold in transplant recipients, with non-Hodgkin lymphoma incidence highest among those who received transplants as children or older adults. This cancer is known to be related to immune suppression and infection with Epstein-Barr virus. Non-Hodgkin lymphoma incidence was highest in lung recipients, intermediate in liver and heart recipients, and lowest in kidney recipients.
— Lung cancer risk was highest in lung recipients, with smoking-related disease often the reason for the transplant. Studies of cancer show that among lung recipients, most of whom received a single lung transplant, lung cancer typically arises in the recipient's remaining diseased lung rather than the transplanted one. Increased risk for lung cancer may also be related to inflammation or chronic lung infections.
— The risk of liver cancer was elevated only among liver recipients. Studies of cancer show, in this group, the occurrence of liver cancer can be partly attributed to recurrent hepatitis B or C infection in the transplanted liver, or to diabetes mellitus, which is also common among transplant recipients.
— Risk of kidney cancer is increased for all recipients. There are multiple reasons for an elevated risk of kidney cancer in transplant recipients. Recipients who get kidney transplants have damaged kidneys, frequently including multiple kidney cysts, which can become cancerous. However, an elevated risk was also observed among recipients of other organs. Therefore, the researchers suggest the risk for kidney cancer could be partly due to exposure to immune-suppressive medications, which may have direct carcinogenic effects.

TARGET HEALTH excels in Regulatory Affairs and Public Policy issues. Each week we highlight new information in these challenging areas.
FDA Approvals in 2011:
35 Innovative New Drugs Approved by FDA
Over the past 12 months, the FDA has approved 35 new medicines. This is among the highest number of approvals in the past decade, surpassed only by 2009 (37). Many of the drugs are important advances for patients, including: two new treatments for hepatitis C; a drug for late-stage prostate cancer; the first new drug for Hodgkin's lymphoma in 30 years; and the first new drug for lupus in 50 years.
In a report released today, FY 2011 Innovative Drug Approvals, the FDA provided details of how it used expedited approval authorities, flexibility in clinical trial requirements and resources collected under the Prescription Drug User Fee Act (PDUFA) to boost the number of innovative drug approvals to 35 for the fiscal year (FY) ending Sept. 30, 2011.
The report shows faster approval times in the United States when compared to the FDA's counterparts around the globe. Twenty-four of the 35 approvals occurred in the United States before any other country in the world and also before the European Union, continuing a trend of the United States leading the world in first approval of new medicines.
Among the new drugs approved in FY 2011, a number are notable for their advances in patient care and for the efficiency with which they were approved:
— Two of the drugs – one for melanoma and one for lung cancer – are breakthroughs in personalized medicine. Each was approved with a diagnostic test that helps identify patients for whom the drug is most likely to bring benefits;
— Seven of the new medicines provide major advances in cancer treatment;
— Almost half of the drugs were judged to be significant therapeutic advances over existing therapies for heart attack, stroke and kidney transplant rejection;
— Ten are for rare or "orphan" diseases, which frequently lack any therapy because of the small number of patients with the condition, such as a treatment for hereditary angioedema;
— Almost half (16) were approved under "priority review," in which the FDA has a six month goal to complete its review for safety and effectiveness;
— Two-thirds of the new approvals were completed in a single review cycle, meaning sufficient evidence was provided by the manufacturer so that the FDA could move the application through the review process without requesting major new information;
— Three were approved using "accelerated approval," a program under which the FDA approves safe and effective medically important new drugs quickly, and relies on subsequent post-market studies to confirm clinical benefit. For example, Corifact, the first treatment approved for a rare blood clotting disorder, was approved under this program; and
— Thirty-four of 35 were approved on or before the review time targets agreed to with industry under PDUFA, including three cancer drugs that FDA approved in less than six months.

- I am thankful for Pinterest. Really, who isn't? I have found more baby ideas, craft projects, products that I never knew existed and never thought I needed, recipes, fashion inspiration ... and then some. We (Pinterest & I) actually have a love/hate relationship as it sometimes can uncessarily stress me out when I realize how much more organization I could have in my home, how much creativity I lack in my gift-wrapping, or generally how many hours of life I lose to searching endless ideas. But at the end of the day, I am forever grateful for its presence in my life, and would be even more grateful if Virginia Beach City Schools would allow me to use it at school and unblock it from its server.
- I am thankful for my Camera. Speaking of lost time in life, I am embarrased to admit how many hours of my day are devoted to taking pictures of my baby girl. To say I am obsessed would be an understatement. I seriously get nervous and don't feel complete when I am without it. The chances of missing a candid moment, new facial expression, or stand-out outfit are too high. (Specifially, I am thankful for the new, upgraded camera that I currently purchased ... which takes perfectly clear, high-quality shots. It is the Sony Powershot. More to come later.)
- I am thankful for Gap. Specifically, Baby Gap. This is one of those current obsessions of mine that I wish I hadn't discovered. Baby Gap has seriously the cutest baby girl clothes EVER! I have spent more hours drooling over their website than I am willing to admit, and although I have had the will-power to not buy anything full price as of yet ... I am not sure how long that can last. My GAP fashion tip ... wait for the sales! Like them on Facebook & sign up to recieve coupons online!
- I am thankful for Etsy. OK, so I realize most of these are technology-driven, but so is my life. My love of Etsy began when I was planning my wedding, and as a result, the majority of the details on my special day were purchased there. The amount of absolutely adorable baby items on Etsy.com can be overwhelming, and like many of the latter, I spend many of hours searching through them a day. Many of Waverly's headbands, blankets, and bloomers are a result of a special Etsy find.
- I am thankful for a Thanksgiving break; thus, time off with my baby girl. So I realize this one is sentimental ... but I had to at least have one. I have been back at work for a little over a month now, and while I still enjoy my career, I miss my baby girl like crazy. I realize I should not complain, as I am lucky enough to be able to be home by 3 everyday ... but simply, sometimes that is just not enough. So the opportunity to spend an entire four dayuninterrupted with my little family just overjoys me.

Not shortly after Roger Maris record was broken, another baseball player, Jason Giambi and various other athletes were either suspected of, or proven to have, taken anabolic steroids. Again, Congress convened a hearing, and just as they did the first time in 1990, they did not determine that steroids were a danger, but rather that the danger was more in protecting professional sports organizations. The updated statute has been updated to proscribe pro-hormones also The definition of an anabolic steroid as defined currently in the United States under (41)(A) is that "anabolic steroid" means any drug or hormonal substance, chemically and pharmacologically related to testosterone (other than estrogens , progestins, corticosteroids, and dehydroepiandrosterone (7).

What Is Documentary Futurism, and Why Do We Need It?
Cinema Politica recently put out a call for proposals to launch a new genre: documentary futurism, or speculative documentary. It was extremely difficult to put together a proposal for a genre that for the most part doesn't yet exist, but what I ultimately decided was that this genre should be more about process than any kind of structure, aesthetics, or style (i.e., the opposite of von Trier's self-indulgent "dogma" films).< I'm thinking now about continuing to work on the writing that I started for the grant proposal, especially in light of Reina Gosset's piece in Teen Vogue today: (more…)
