Half of prostate cancers could potentially benefit from new type of cancer drugs, study finds
About half of prostate cancers have a genetic anomaly that appears to make tumor cells responsive to a new class of cancer-fighting drugs, a new study from the University of Michigan Comprehensive Cancer Center finds.
The drugs, called PARP inhibitors, are currently being tested in breast cancer patients with mutations in the BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes, which are found in up to 10 percent of all breast cancers.
Half of prostate cancers have a genomic rearrangement that causes the fusion of two genes called TMPRSS2 and ERG. This gene fusion, believed to be the triggering event of prostate cancer, was initially discovered in 2005 by U-M researchers led by Arul Chinnaiyan, M.D., Ph.D.
"This type of gene fusion occurs in about 50 percent of prostate cancers, but the genes involved have been notoriously difficult to target therapeutically. We found that instead of targeting the gene fusion product directly, we could block the function of critical interacting partners, such as PARP1," says Chinnaiyan, a Howard Hughes Medical Institute researcher, director of the Michigan Center for Translational Pathology and S.P. Hicks Professor of Pathology at the U-M Medical School.
Chinnaiyan is the senior author of the current study, which appears in the May 17 issue of Cancer Cell.
"Our studies suggest that the total population of patients who could benefit from PARP inhibition could be significantly expanded," says Chad Brenner, Ph.D. candidate at U-M, who is the first author on the study.
Working with prostate cancer models in cell lines and mice, researchers found that therapies using the PARP inhibitor Olaparib helped shrink tumors expressing the TMPRSS2:ERG gene fusion and blocked the ability of tumors to spread. Olaparib had no effect on tumors that did not have the gene fusion.
PARP inhibitors are not currently approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, but initial trials in breast cancer patients indicate they can be administered safely and are well-tolerated.
Study authors Maha Hussain, M.D., and Felix Y. Feng, M.D., are currently working on two clinical trials based on these study findings to test if the TMPRSS2:ERG gene fusion could be used as to predict response to treatments, including a PARP inhibitor. These studies are not yet recruiting participants.

Naomi Watts Joins the Cast of the 'Divergent' Sequelsby Thomas Chau | PopCrush
Naomi Watts has been cast in a crucial role in the 'Divergent' film series, reports The Hollywood Reporter. The Australian native will be playing the character of Evelyn, the leader of the Factionless in the stories.
Watts will appear in the 'Divergent' sequels 'Insurgent,' 'Allegiant – Part 1′ and 'Allegiant – Part 2.' Shooting for 'Insurgent' is currently underway in Atlanta and is being prepped for a March 20, 2015 release.
She joins cast members Shailene Woodley, Theo James, Ansel Elgort, Kate Winslet and Miles Teller, all of whom are reprising their roles from the first 'Divergent' film.
Robert Schwentke ('RIPD,' 'RED') is directing off a script by Brian Duffield and Akiva Goldsman.
The 'Divergent' movies are based on the young adult series by Veronica Roth and are set in a future dystopian society. The series tells the story of a young female heroine named Beatrice 'Tris' Prior (Woodley) and her plans to rebel against a cruel and authoritative government who separates society into different factions starting at a young age.

Video games came into being, that is , they were available to the masses about 1978. Odyssey owners will tell you otherwise but the Odyssey was soon replaced by the Atari and/or the Intellivision. The industry has progressed greatly from those days of 24% inflation, Jimmy Carter sending US jobs for the 1st time ever, and the dying days of disco. But it is still evolving. That was 34 years ago and I'm aware that most of you were not here 34 years ago. So to speak of those days is to speak of ancient history that one cannot relate to.
But a quick look around Amazon or very large bookstore will soon show gamers a number of novels devoted to a game they may have played. One of my favorite series of books (there were 3) were the books that tied in to Myst. These weer done back when novelization of video or computer games was done correctly. Not that we do not have good novels released today, but so many of them are just fan feeder for the gamer who loves a particular game.
Here is the 1st book, a prequel, in the Myst series . Now for those of you who may have missed playing this game i strongly advise you to play at some time. It is almost a prerequisite to gaming 101. Notice that Rand and Robin Miller, the creators of Myst assisted i the writing of this novel . The original publication was 1995.
A recent example of a great prequel novel is Bioshock. Another I highly advise fans of the series , or just video game fans in general , to read.
As one can see it is still available on Amazon.
But the point is: do video games enhance the overall gaming experience or do they deter from it. I find the prequels to be most interesting because they tell the back-story of the game. They can provide the reader, the gamer, background info that the game does not have time to delve into. (Final Fantasy VII may be the exception). The Bioshock novel for instance, involves the building of Rapture from the seafloor up to how it was inhabited. And a lot more.
The two other novel formats are not as interesting to me. One is the format where the events take place AFTER the main story quest has ended. One the other is the one where one is to read the book while playing the title. These novesl are few and far between. ICO is the best example I can think of.
Again, thanks goes to Amazon.
The Diablo novel was good. "The Book of Cain" which is $35 dollars is a bit to steep for my liking. But it looks to be so awesome. I always loved Deckard Cain in the Diablo games. He's old ,like me, and has a great memory and can relte story or tale very well.
My son who has read the Mass Effect novels tells me they are OK.
But to writers and editors this genre is a challenge. How does tell the tale, before or after? How to balance the main characters with the background characters. Plus the book hads to be wrote in suck a way so as not to ruin the plot line for gamers who may not have played the title.Or, if the novel occurs after the main storyline, the author must be very careful not to release info that could be used in a sequel.
So do they add or detract. Only you , the gamer, answer that.Only you know how hardcore a fan you are of a series. Video games have along way to evolve. So do the novels of them. It will be interesting to see what state the gaming industry is in 34 years from now, 2012. Rest assured that there wil stil be a PC somewhere that still plays ZORK!!

Latest News
Palin supporters set up legal defense fund
WASHINGTON — Gov. Sarah Palin's friends and supporters in Alaska set up a legal expense fund Friday to help her pay more than $500,000 in legal bills racked up defending ethics complaints — including one she filed against herself when she was a Republican vice presidential candidate.
One of Palin's longtime friends, Kristan Cole, will serve as the trustee of the legal expense fund, which launched its website Friday morning.
The Alaska Fund Trust modeled itself after the legal expense funds of other well-known political figures, including former first lady and current Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, Sen. John Kerry and even former Alaska Sen. Ted Stevens.
Cole said that her group decided to start the fund to help Palin defend herself against what she described as "the onslaught of frivolous attacks against her."
"These baseless accusations are designed to inhibit her ability to focus on the issues Alaskans truly care about and force massive personal debt on her and her family," she said.
The trustees have capped donations to the fund at $150 apiece, Cole said, and the fund will disclose each quarter the names of all donors — something it doesn't have to do. Lobbyists, corporations, labor unions and non-U.S. citizens cannot donate to the fund.
Money raised by the expense fund will go to legal bills incurred by Palin, her family and her staff, Cole said. They picked a $150 cap, Cole said, because they wanted a lower amount that would "make it available to as many Alaskans as possible."
Although some of the complaints date to before Arizona Sen. John McCain tapped Palin as his running mate, most were filed after Palin shot to national fame last fall as the Republican vice presidential candidate.
Palin owes more than a half-million dollars to an Anchorage law firm that has been defending her against the ethics complaints — which Palin herself said last month had become "political blood sport" allowing "only the independently wealthy or those willing to spend their income on legal fees" to serve in office.
Most appears to be owed to the Alaska law firm of Clapp, Peterson, Van Flein, Tiemessen and Thorsness. The firm defended her in the Troopergate controversy, which grew from her dismissal of the state's public safety commissioner.
The most recent ethics complaint against the governor came this week, from Sondra Tompkins of Anchorage, who describes herself as an advocate for children with disabilities and the mother of a special-needs child.
In her complaint, she says Palin abdicated her duties by attending out-of-state political events at a critical time — the end of the legislative session. Palin last week went to Indiana for two events, a Right to Life banquet and a breakfast for families with Down syndrome children. Her political action committee and the hosts of the events paid Palin's way, said Meghan Stapleton, who worked for the McCain-Palin campaign and now serves as a spokeswoman for the Palin family and the governor's political action committee.
Palin decided to permit the creation of the legal expense fund after one of her fans, Clayton Paslay, said he would use his own political group to help her. Paslay's organization, called Free American Citizens, was created to support his favorite causes and conservatives, including Palin and former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee.
Paslay said that he decided to ask people to donate to his fund after hearing Fox News Channel host Bill O'Reilly make a pitch to viewers to help Palin pay her legal bills.
Palin's own political action committee, however, urged supporters to hold off on donations until her friends in Alaska could set up something that would funnel contributions directly to her lawyers.
"Governor Palin is truly humbled by the tremendous outpouring of support from her fellow Alaskans and the wonderful people across our great country," Stapleton said.
Also on Friday, Palin's political action committee, SarahPAC, officially ended its relationship with Campaign Solutions, a Virginia-based company headed by one of the pioneers in online campaign contributions, Rebecca Donatelli. The company handled online fundraising for the McCain-Palin campaign and had set up the online fundraising mechanism for SarahPAC. Donatelli also was involved in establishing Palin's online presence on social networking sites such as Facebook.

Communication studies professors edit, publish online journal
The latest issue of the Journal of Public Deliberation has been published.
The online journal is co-edited by Tim Steffensmeier, associate professor of communication studies, and David Procter, director of the Center for Engagement and Community Development. Lyn Carson of the University of Western Sydney in Australia serves as the journal's essay editor. The editorial assistants are Ron Lubensky, also of the University of Western Sydney, and Melanie Pechanec, master's student in communication studies.
Founded in 2004, the journal is supported by the Deliberative Democracy Consortium. In 2010 the journal expanded into a partnership with the International Association of Public Participation. Over the past year, we have strengthened these relationships and have diversified the journal's editorial board. Our 38-member board represents 12 different countries, a wide diversity in disciplinary background, theoretical orientation, and methodological approach to deliberative democracy. Special thanks to guest reviewers, William Schenck-Hamlin, professor of communication studies, and Soo-Hye Han, assistant professor of communication studies.
Interest in the journal continues to expand, and the journal now averages more than 7,500 article downloads annually.
The principal objective of the journal is to synthesize research, projects, and experiences of academics and practitioners in the emerging multi-disciplinary field of deliberative democracy. By doing this, we hope to improve research and practices in this field to enable democracies to be more citizen friendly. The Journal of Public Deliberation publishes articles, essays, and reviews for academic researchers and field practitioners who require the latest information and highest quality theory, research, and analysis concerning public deliberation and public participation. Submitted articles are double-blind peer reviewed by members of the journal's board of editors.
We will be publishing semi-annually with issues planned to be released in September-October and February-March. We also plan on publishing thematic issues edited by leading scholars serving as guest editors for these special issues. We encourage ideas and proposals for specials issues.

the Readings
Inquiry Question
Reading 2: An Ironworks Community
Soon after the ironworks opened, its shareholders developed the village of Hammersmith to house the approximately 100 people they employed. Named after the town in England from which many of the ironworkers had come, Hammersmith was a "factory town." Located just off the main road between Salem and Boston, Hammersmith was within easy traveling distance of the more than 20 communities then existing in the Massachusetts Bay Colony. Although officially a part of Lynn (Saugus was a Native American settlement that the English originally called Lynn and then later changed back to Saugus), Hammersmith was three miles from the Puritan meeting house and center of town, and therefore an independent settlement in many ways.
On the east side of the Saugus River stood small houses that housed the ironworkers and their families. The ironworks itself included a farm, blacksmith shop, warehouse, pottery shop, charcoal house, and other facilities. Food produced from the farm was used to feed the ironworkers during the workday. The manager of the ironworks, first Richard Leader and later John Gifford, lived in a house adjacent to the ironworks. Although there is a restored 17th-century house on the site of the ironworks, there is no definite evidence that it was actually the home of the managers. It is the right size, however. The manager's house would have been large compared with those of the workers because managers often entertained guests, including investors, merchants, and local gentry.
The ironworkers who lived at Hammersmith knew the intensity of labor, and the discomfort of the heat and noise associated with the iron industry. They worked 12 hour shifts at dangerous and dirty tasks. Women, whose time typically was devoted to household duties, normally did not work in the ironworks. Sometimes, however, they were expected to act as "deputy husbands." That meant that when needed, they took their husbands' place to negotiate and handle trade, fill orders, and supervise field hands. With few doctors in Colonial America, women also were responsible for growing and preparing herbs for medicinal purposes. Herbs also were important for textile dyes, insect repellents, and rat poisons; for preserving meat; and for dispelling odors in the home.
Because most of Hammersmith's workers and their wives were illiterate, there are no letters or diaries to help us develop a more clear and detailed account of their personal lives. We will never have their own words to tell us what they thought about working at the ironworks. Instead, we must piece together an impression of their lives from many sources.
Some information about the people of Hammersmith comes from church and government records, which indicate that only a few of the Hammersmith villagers were Puritans. Although this may have caused some problems with their Puritan neighbors, many of the ironworkers and their children did marry into local Puritan families. Colonists from nearby farms and communities performed unskilled labor in the building of the ironworks and in working at the iron factory. This interaction with other colonists suggests that Hammersmith residents probably behaved much like other citizens of Lynn.
Other historical records show that two groups of workers were different from the English settlers, however. In 1651 about 35 Scottish prisoners of war were brought to New England to work at the ironworks rather than being placed in English prisons. The Scots lived at Hammersmith or with colonists from nearby communities who also worked at the ironworks. They received clothing, food, and tobacco as a condition of employment. Many cut wood for charcoal. It is likely that by the second or third generation they were accepted in the same way as other settlers. The other group consisted of Native Americans who already lived in Saugus when the Massachusetts Bay Colony was established. Company records show that at least two Indians chopped wood for the same wages as other workers.
More information about the daily activities of Hammersmith workers comes from analysis of the artifacts found at the town site. These include axes, fish hooks, a bullet mold, hoes, kettles, pots, spoons, a pewter baby nipple, a jaw harp, a pot hanger, oxen shoes, clay pipes, hammers, nails, and countless other items. From analysis of these items and from historical data about how other early New England settlers lived, archeologists conclude that even though the ironworkers of Hammersmith took part in an important chapter of America's industrial history, their daily lives were little different from those of the Puritan colonists around them.
Questions for Reading 2
1. Why could Hammersmith be described as a "factory town"?
2. How did women fit into the ironworks community?
3. Do you think the ironworkers would have gotten along with other settlers living near the ironworks? Why or why not?
4. Do you think the Scots felt they were better off to be in the colony rather than in English prisons?
5. What evidence suggests that people were paid for the work they did no matter who they were?
6. Can you imagine what daily life in the 17th century at Hammersmith was like? What do the artifacts the people left behind tell you?
Reading 2 was compiled from the National Park Service's visitor's guide for Saugus Iron Works National Historic Site, 1981; E.N. Hartley, Ironworks on the Saugus (Norman: University of Oklahoma Press, 1957); and Mary Stetson Clarke, Pioneer Iron Works (Philadelphia: Chilton Book Co., 1968).

I used a column in Sunday's paper to examine how the Corcoran's curatorial history, its identity as an institution, and an all-too-frequent failure to capitalize on success has led it to its current financial woes. But there's nothing there that can't be fixed by passionate, enlightened, dedicated leadership. The Mapplethorpe controversy of 1989 played a role:
When case studies are written about how to blow up a nonprofit institution, the Mapplethorpe controversy is key among them, a classic map that prefigured controversies such as the implosion earlier this year at the breast cancer charity Susan G. Komen for the Cure (which suddenly appeared political after trying to deny funding to Planned Parenthood), the 2010 censorship of an exhibition of gay and lesbian portraiture at the Smithsonian's National Portrait Gallery, and the current power struggle at the University of Virginia. In all four cases, institutional leadership seemed unaware of the basic human capital invested in the organization, unaware that the people who keep the institution alive view it in essentially familial terms, not bureaucratic or organizational ones.
But the current leadership's willingness to throw the entire museum into limbo while they pursue the horrible idea of selling the building could well be the death knell for the institution:
Yet at a critical moment, when the Corcoran desperately needs people to rally behind it, the board of directors has indicated that it is seriously considering a move that would further alienate supporters of the museum. Board Chairman Harry Hopper, in an interview with Washington Post reporters, said he and the board "weren't out pounding the pavement on behalf of the institution" until they have "a plan that makes sense."
Not "pounding the pavement on behalf of the institution" at the moment? I was gobsmacked by that when I first heard our reporters recount their interview with Hopper.

Ten free apps to install on every new PC
Bags of functionality for nowt
More formally known as the VideoLan Client, VLC is arguably the most format friendly media player you can download. The number of audio and video codecs it supports is phenomenal - both well known and obscure - and you can be sure that if other players shrug their shoulders at a difficult file, VLC will roll up its sleeves and get working. And it'll work with files created beyond the PC: digital TV data pulled from your set-top box? No problem.

Even if you're not an iPod or iPhone owner, Apple's iTunes has to be on the list of free applications any new PC needs simply because of the wealth of media content it makes available. Its selection of music - all of it DRM free - remains the gold standard for online audio sales, and the range of TV shows and movies is getting better. But don't forget that iTunes also connects you to literally hundreds of internet radio stations and an even greater number of podcasts. And what really got iTunes onto this list is the huge array of factual content provided by the world's great educational institutions under the iTunes U banner. Will Windows Media Player teach you about the Roman economy or the formation of galaxies? We think not.

Walking errr rolling the dog
Only done it once so far but we have a cycle path near where I live and I decided to take the dog out along it.
She was on an extendible lead and I was skating. It went really well only one time were she crossed straight ahead of me which caused a wobble.
I took a video with my GoPro and edited it to a few minutes if anyone is interested https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d6J1uxZoFB0
Anyone else exercise their dog while skating?

Bike path plus leashed dog is a danger to both your dog and people passing by you, especially ones moving at higher speeds.
Bikes can go quite fast and quietly too, and if one comes past you from rear and dog crosses laterally in front of it - big trouble.

Thanks for your concern, I know the local cycling infrastructure very well as I use it often. Its open to any non motorised means of getting about so that's people on foot, on bicycles and on horses.
All users are expected to show respect to one and other and its not a place to ride fast, and you have to be prepared to stop occasionally as you can easily come round a corner and find a group of parents with prams and buggies, some horses or people walking dogs.
If I'm heading out to put 60+ miles on the clock not a lot of it will be on cycle paths as its hard to get your average speed up to a level where you can do that in a reasonable time.
Occasionally there are idiots chasing their personal best on a Strava segment but they are every bit as unacceptable as the people with loose uncontrolled dogs and the joggers plugged into their iPods who don't hear your bell or you calling out that that you are passing them on their left and veer across your path.

Skating with my dog
I go skating with my dog at least a couple of times a week. I am fortunate because nearby is paved railroad beds that are perfect for skating. I try to go at off times and we always stop for approaching or passing people. Honestly when he is fresh and pulling hard we go by most people. Then he will jog next to me when he is tired. we stop and rest with water breaks every mile or so. Typically we do around 5 miles. Its lots of fun. People for the most part like to see us and he is known as the skating dog. Thanks Bill

Love this. It's a great idea. I have a dog trainer friend who regularly skates with his larger dogs.
Great way to get some good exercise for all parties

Good Dog!
Hi Jeltz, what a well-behaved dog!
Misty only crossed over in front of you the once? I didn't see her stop to sniff other dogs or say hello to other people in your video. So this idea would be okay for a dog with long legs and who is well trained. A smaller dog like a Dachshund or Bichon Friese probably couldn't commit to running in a straight line. Brave man to try, but you know your own dog well, and Misty will get used to you on wheels I imagine. Thanks for sharing the video

Would you consider a regular leash? Extendable leads, while popular, are very dangerous even on basic walks.

Pain is no stranger to Traci Maccoux.
For years, the 22-year-old Brooklyn Park woman has relied on medical devices and injections of a steroid medication to deal with back pain from a chronic neurological condition.
But this summer, two of those shots brought a side effect no one expected.
Health officials say Maccoux is one of 11 Minnesotans -- and 438 people across the country -- with a confirmed case of fungal meningitis that has been linked to contaminated medications from a Massachusetts drug maker. Nationwide, 32 people have died in the 19-state outbreak.
"It was scary," said Maccoux, whose case was confirmed in mid-October. "You know that you're on that list of people who got the injection and could die."
The cases have been linked with medications from a company called New England Compounding Center. A co-owner of the pharmacy as well as federal and state pharmacy regulators have been asked to testify Wednesday, Nov. 15, before a congressional committee that's investigating the outbreak.
In the meantime, patients and their doctors find themselves on an uncertain path as they battle a highly unusual type of fungal meningitis.
"It's never been reported before," said Dr. Carol Kauffman, an infectious-disease expert at the University of Michigan. "These are uncharted waters."
Since the confirmation came about a month ago, Maccoux has been hospitalized twice for a total of two weeks. Her second stay ended this month, but Maccoux said she's still not feeling well.
"It's just an overall, general weakness," she said Thursday, Nov. 8. "I have a little bit of a headache, but not a huge one. I'm just laying in bed -- that's all I can do."
Maccoux is considering legal action in the case, said her attorney, Fred Pritzker.
Fungal infections linked to the implicated steroid medication have produced an unusual form of meningitis that health officials say should not be confused with the more common viral or bacterial forms of the
illness. One key difference is that there's no risk of person-to-person transmission of fungal meningitis.
Nationwide, about 45 percent of the outbreak cases have been reported in Michigan and Tennessee. and those states have reported more than half of the fatalities, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
As of Friday, nine states had more confirmed outbreak cases than Minnesota, where no deaths have been reported.
After investigators started learning about the outbreak in late September, CDC assembled an expert panel to advise doctors on the difficult task of treating patients with the disease, agency spokeswoman Melissa Dankel said.
"We're definitely in new territory here," Dankel said.
One of the recommendations calls for treatment with a drug called voriconazole. Unfortunately, the medication brings a significant risk of liver damage and neurological side effects, including hallucinations.
Doctors prescribing the drug must initially give it in high doses to ensure sufficient amounts of medicine reach the central nervous system, said Richard Danila, an epidemiologist at the Minnesota Department of Health. The guidance now calls for patients to receive the drug for three months, but it's unclear what should happen after that point, Danila said.
The complexity of prescribing the drug is just one of many complicating factors with the outbreak.
"The vast majority of patients were pain-management patients, which means they have a whole variety of symptoms and conditions that are chronic and painful," Danila said. "So, they already typically have a complicated history, for the most part.
"Then you inject a fungus directly into the epidural space, or puncture the dura matter and put it directly into the spine or cerebral spinal fluid. We've had virtually no experience in this whatsoever."
That provides little comfort for patients like Traci Maccoux, who at age 22 already has had plenty of experience with discouraging diagnoses.
Maccoux suffers from reflex sympathetic dystrophy, a condition that's abbreviated as RSD. It's a nerve disorder, she said, where the brain misfires pain signals to parts of the body that aren't actually injured.
During middle and high school, Maccoux was a competitive swimmer. But the condition limited her training as flare-ups kept her out of the pool for weeks at a time.
"It hurts so bad that I can't even put my leg in the pool," she said. "It hurts to have wind blowing on it."
Initially, Maccoux received numbing medication in her spine to treat the pain. After a few years, she received two implanted medical devices called spinal cord stimulators that use electrical energy to block the pain.
This year, Maccoux was having the stimulators replaced. So, she wanted to find a clinic where she could resume getting steroid injections and went to Medical Advanced Pain Specialists (MAPS) in Maple Grove.
The two injection treatments she received at the clinic worked well in blocking the pain, Maccoux said. Then, in late September, the contamination issue surfaced since MAPS operates four of the six clinics in Minnesota that received the implicated steroid.
When the state health department first called her, Maccoux wasn't worried because she wasn't experiencing meningitis symptoms that day. Outbreak patients have complained of severe headaches, sensitivity to light and stiff necks; some have experienced stroke symptoms such as weakness and difficulty with speech.
There were other times in late September and early October when she didn't feel well, but Maccoux attributed those symptoms to her chronic health problems and a recent back surgery. In September, Maccoux underwent an operation so doctors could remove her spinal cord stimulators and insert a "spacer" device that would allow surgeons to install a new stimulator down the road.
By Oct. 10, Maccoux was feeling horrible and went to Mercy Hospital in Coon Rapids. After undergoing a spinal tap test that confirmed the fungal meningitis, Maccoux spent 10 days in the hospital as doctors started treating her with the anti-fungal medication.
Doctors also had to surgically remove the spacer device because of the infection. Without the spacer, it is doubtful surgeons will be able to install a new spinal cord stimulator for her leg pain, said Cathy Maccoux, Traci's mother.
Maccoux said she's upset with New England Compounding Center for what's happened to her. She also blames the local MAPS clinic because the Massachusetts company -- called NECC, for short -- didn't have a license to sell medications in bulk to clinics in Minnesota, according to the state Board of Pharmacy.
In a statement, Marsha Thiel, the chief executive officer of the local pain clinic, said: "This very serious issue stemming from the product provided by NECC is extremely unfortunate for all parties involved."
Doctors don't know how long Maccoux must take the anti-fungal medicine. There's no single lab test that makes it easy to monitor whether the treatment is working. And doctors are trying to find a sweet spot with Maccoux's treatment where she's getting enough drug to fight the meningitis, but not so much that the medication makes her seriously ill.
"It's not like you have studies that say this amount works because, again, we haven't seen this before," said Kauffman of the University of Michigan.
"It's variable," Kauffman said of the effectiveness of treatment. "Some patients have done well. Others have come back in with disease elsewhere."
Voriconazole is expensive. Just one pill can cost $70, said Cathy Maccoux. She wishes the hefty price tag brought with it more clarity.
"That's all I hear: 'We don't know,'" Cathy Maccoux said. "I'm the type of person who likes to know things. If only I had a dime for every time I've heard them say 'We don't know.'"

In 1847 he had a mystical experience which he later described as a cleansing. After that he dedicated his life to the poor and the infirm, establishing a dispensary for the poor, two schools for African children, an institute for the children of nobility, as well as an institution for orphans, the deaf and the speechless, and other institutes for the blind, elderly and for travelers. In addition to an infirmary for friars of his province, he began charitable institutes in Naples, Florence and Assisi. He once said, "Christs love has wounded my heart." This love prompted him to great acts of charity.
To help continue these works of mercy, in 1859 he established the Gray Brothers, a religious community composed of men who formerly belonged to the Secular Franciscan Order. Three years later he founded the Gray Sisters of St. Elizabeth for the same purpose.
Toward the beginning of his final, nine-year illness, Ludovico wrote a spiritual testament which described faith as "light in the darkness, help in sickness, blessing in tribulations, paradise in the crucifixion and life amid death." The local work for his beatification began within five months of Ludovicos death. He was beatified in 1993.

I've never tried maitake mushrooms, but I love mushrooms and these look really tasty. This is my kind of comfort food. :)ReplyDeleteReplies
My kind of comfort food too!Delete
Maitake was a first for me; I LOVE mushrooms and these definitely did not dissapoint :)
i DIE for mushrooms. these little crostinis look SO unbelievably delicious. i have never had maikate mushrooms..but omg..i really gotta get on that!ReplyDelete
"Humblle... but totally fancy pants" HAHA! I agree - crostini is probably the simplest thing to turn into a fancy hors d'oeuvre. I am a huge fan of mushrooms, too... I can just imagine it alongside that asparagus soup! Yum!ReplyDeleteReplies
I love how versatile crostini's are!Delete
They were definitely the perfect pair
soup + crostini = love :)
I've never been a big fan of mushrooms (I used to pick them off my pizza), but that's probably because the ones I've tried aren't usually the good quality ones, cooked well... Maybe this crostini would change my mind about mushrooms :)ReplyDeleteReplies
Give it a try you might be pleasantly surprised :)Delete
Those canned mushrooms some pizza shops use are dreadful; those would make a mushroom of non mushroom lover cringe!
I have never noticed dried maitake mushrooms, but will look for them the next time I hit the Asian supermarket. Love your photos!ReplyDeleteReplies
I have never seen them either; so I was super excited when I ran across them at Sunflower. I have heard of hen of the woods but didn't realize the mushroom had so many different names including Maikate!Delete
i hadnt heard of maikate shrooms uptil now.. the crostini looks fabulous.. and the board.. drrool:)ReplyDelete
i love me some nicely browned up mushrooms on my bread anyday!Replies
I have my eye on a couple other boards for that site....I am trying to be patient, I still have one more board I haven't used yet!Delete
Maitake mushrooms are new to me. I do love crostinis and I like mushrooms....so I think I'd love this! I bet it would be delicious with a bowl of veggie onion soup! mmmmm! Now I need a bread (carb) fix! lolReplyDeleteReplies
LOL I always need a card fix!Delete
I am so glad I am not alone with never hearing of the maikate mushroom; I had a nightmare when I posted this that everyone would have already been on the maikate mushroom bandwagon " like so 1999" :)
Wish I could try some of these maitake mushrooms, but I can't find them here. Maybe I should look harder! :)ReplyDelete
What's the texture like, I wonder? Are they chewy or tender? Love how you heaped a whole pile of mushrooms on each crostini! Yumyum, I could eat a whole lot of those!Replies
They are also referred to as Hen in the Woods which is what I had known them as before hearing them being called Maikate; They are a bit chewy which is a nice contrast to the more soft in texture baby bella - I LOVE mushrooms, hence the heaping; we don't mess around with the mushroom to bread ratio at SMBP :)Delete
"bread + maitake mushrooms" I love this combination. It definitely seems appetizing! I haven't tried putting maitake mushrooms in any dish because I've always used white mushrooms and flats. I'm going to try this tomorrow morning. I think this would make a great breakfast meal with some hot choco or tea.ReplyDelete

Zimbra Desktop Change Font Size HOW TO386

|Zimbra Desktop Change Font Size/Weight HOW TO
Hi All
I spent ages trying to change the default font on Zimbra Desktop today and finally found a solution. There seem to be endless posts in the forum about how you can't do it but this worked for me and is a combination of other posts.
You make these changes at your own risk but it worked for me on my XP machine but should work on all systems as it was gleaned from setting the default font on Zimbra server. You just need the find the same folders in your OS.
It is a 3 step process:
1) Close Zimbra desktop. Make sure it is closed including the notification icon.
2) Locate folder C:\Program Files\Zimbra\Zimbra Desktop\jetty\webapps\zimbra\skins\_base\base2 (on XP)
Make a backup copy of file "skin.properties"
Using notepad or text editor change font settings in the file. Should look like:
# Fonts
FontFamily-default = font-family:"Helvetica Neue",Helvetica,"Nimbus Sans L",Arial,"Liberation Sans",sans-serif;
FontFamily-fixed = font-family:monospace;
FontFamily-html = font-family:Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;
FontSize-normal = font-size:11px;
FontSize-big = font-size:13px;
FontSize-bigger = font-size:15px; font-weight:bold;
FontSize-biggest = font-size:18px; font-weight:bold;
FontSize-small = font-size:10px;
FontSize-smaller = font-size:9px;
FontSize-miniscule = font-size:6px;
FontSize-html = font-size:10pt;
The font size normal is the one to change, make it 13 or bigger if you need. You can also add the "font-weight:bold;" onto the end of the same line for a thicker font. Anyway have a play around with the fonts and size from here.
Then save the file.
3) Go to "C:\Documents and Settings\~user\Local Settings\Application Data\Zimbra\Zimbra Desktop\data\tmp\diskcache\skinres\latest" (on XP)
Delete all the files in the folder. Should be html, js & css in the folder.
Restart Zimbra Desktop to see the new font size. You can go too big and then you would need to change the layout to fit the larger font.
This does not change the composition font but just the main font.
Do this at you own risk, if your not sure what your doing probably best tl leave it alone
*** If your file is locked and does not allow you to change the settings above, an alternative is using the Windows Feature of CTRL ++ or CTRL -- to enlarge the windows application window

Dawdle around on the oldies stations long enough, and you'll hear it. A pathos-laden and groovily roosty little slab of romantically dogmatic pop folklore; "Kisses Sweeter Than Wine." Based on an old Irish folk song, re-interpreted by Leadbelly, and brought into pop form by Pete Seeger and The Weavers, it is the Jimmie Rodgers version I know best, and that is the version that came on this morning as I was driving up the mountain.
"Kisses Sweeter Than Wine."
It's a really coy and delightful song, and it swings, and it's a beautiful narrative, and it's hooky as all get out; in short, to borrow a line from the Bay Area's own Greg Kihn, they don't write 'em like that anymore.
So I was listening to the song, and because mountain driving allows for a great deal of thinking and reflection, I was thinking and reflecting, and what I was first thinking about was, what exactly DO we taste when we taste kisses?
Well, if you're married to an Italian girl like I am, it's probably something like beauty, red wine, garlic, stubbornness, and molto dolce!
But seriously, there is, in pop folklore, a great deal of reference to the sweetness of kisses. Clearly the bards of our ballads were tasting a bit of sugar as they were top-side on their typers.
And then I started to reflect on the wine side of the equation. Kisses sweeter than wine. Which would seem to presume a preliminary state of some degree of sweetness in the wine; the better to make the comparison.
Meaning, for the romantic at heart, there is clearly something moving and important and significant about sweet wine, when it comes to the wooing.
So I was thinking, and reflecting, and I got to thinking about Essence.
A rare and wondrous type of wine that Ridge makes ever so rare and wonderfully. In the 50-year history of Ridge, there have not been many of them made. It takes a rather singular confluence of the viticultural stars to even propose the possibility, and even then, it's a high-risk endeavor to commit to an Essence.
An Essence, put most simply, is a naturally sweet (read: vine-ripened) style of dessert wine crafted from grapes left on the vine for an extended-enough time that they build up acceptable levels of sugar to support the creation of a fine dessert wine, but not so long that the grapes raisin; the wine is meant to be devoid of the raisin-y/pruney-y notes that often bog down otherwise perfectly reasonable sweet wines, and it's meant to still have some of the structural hallmarks of a proper table wine; acid, tannin, herb, etc. When made correctly, an Essence is quite simply one of the most exquisitely decadent, sensual, and refined wines one could ever hope to taste. They're just extraordinary.
So I was thinking about kisses, and Essence.
Which reminded me of this: http://www.ridgewine.com/holidayfeast
This, is the Ridge Vineyards Holiday Feast Pack, a rather excellent and unprecedented contribution to our annual offering of Holiday niceties. It is a six-wine assemblage of wines most especially selected just for you; but beyond that, it is a six-wine assemblage of wines most especially paired with recipes for dishes most especially crafted to perfectly complement said six-wine assemblage. For example: the 2010 Ridge Vineyards Lytton Springs paired with Bacon-wrapped Pork Tenderloin & Rosemary-Pomegranate Jus.
And beyond all THAT, is Wine Six. Wine Six, in the Holiday Feast Pack, is … an Essence. A 2003 Stone Ranch Essence. Which is a wine I have awaited the re-emergence of for some time. I had the great pleasure of briefly making its acquaintance back in August of 2009. An experience you can read about here:
The 2003 Stone Ranch has returned again, as Wine Six in the Holiday Feast Pack, and I for one could not be more delighted. And the pairing? Romantic.
One can only imagine the kisses that are sweeter than this.
Unless, of course, you're married to a molto dolce Italian girl, as I am.

Control a presentation on any number of iPads, iPhones, and iPod Touches from your device, simultaneously and wirelessly over Bluetooth or Wi-Fi. Display it seamlessly on one or more external screens or projectors attached to iPads and iPhone.
Perfect for talking to a large auditorium without being stuck behind a lectern or for making a lasting impression with a high-tech, multi-iPad replacement for the traditional 'Powerpoint and slide-printouts' approach, Conference Pad frees you to travel light and present strong. The controlling device - which may be an iPhone, iPod Touch, or iPad - allows any number of other devices to connect to it while it displays a PDF on its own screen and any connected display. The display is fully under *your* control; when you change pages, pinch to zoom and pan around, or tap-and-hold to activate the laser pointer, all other devices instantly do the same.
Conference Pad shows PDFs, which means that presentations in other forms must be converted for use. Fortunately, Conference Pad Loader can use Keynote for Mac OS X to automatically convert Keynote and Powerpoint presentations to PDF before sending them wirelessly to Conference Pad on your device.
‣ Control a PDF from any device for display on any others which are running Conference Pad (up to fifteen).
‣ Automatic display on external screens attached to an iPad. Slides are still presented on the iPad's own screen when an external display is attached.
‣ Zoom and pan within the screen with instantaneous speed and full clarity at all zoom levels
‣ Laser pointer' by tapping and holding
‣ Set displaying devices free to explore your presentation independently; you can always regain control with a single tap.
‣ Bluetooth and Wi-Fi seamlessly supported
‣ Send files to Conference Pad either via iTunes' App->File Sharing (Mac and Windows) or wirelessly via Conference Pad Loader (Mac only)
‣ Devices which connect for display will automatically retrieve the PDF as needed
‣ Universal binary; purchase once and use on all your iPads, iPhones, and iPod Touches.
⁃ Attach your iPad to a projector; control the presentation from your iPhone while moving freely around the room
⁃ Attach your iPad to an external screen and control the presentation from it while still being able to see what you're doing on your own screen. Change documents privately, while the audience sees only what you want them to see.
⁃ Provide an iPad to each member of the executive board and control from your own device rather than printing a booklet of slides for each meeting
⁃ Control screens in several locations around the room by attaching each to an iPad and connecting each to your own device, from which you direct the presentation
⁃ Lead a discussion of a journal article or paper to a group displaying it on mobile devices rather than printing a copy for each participant
Important Note
PDF is a static format. Conference Pad Loader will retain the build stages from presentations - that is, if advancing would reveal new items on the screen, this is shown in Conference Pad - but this does mean that animations, slide transitions, and videos are not shown.
✓ Any combination of iPads, iPhones, and iPod Touches running iOS 9.x or later.
✓ Conference Pad must be running on each device.
✓ PDFs from any source are supported.
✓ Conference Pad Loader requires Mac OS X 10.5 or later. Download Conference Pad Loader from http://www.conferencepadapp.com. You can use Conference Pad without Conference Pad Loader.
✓ Apple Keynote for Mac OS X is required to convert Keynote or Powerpoint documents to PDF automatically via Conference Pad Loader.
✓ WiFi: Any number of display are supported. It is recommended that you disable Bluetooth.
✓ Bluetooth: Up to three display devices are supported. It is recommended that you disable WiFi. Bluetooth must be enabled via the device's Settings to be used.
