Through my decades-long involvement with the shooting sports I have noted a trend. A new centerfire autoloading pistol is introduced with a lot of fanfare, and it appears on the covers of magazines. The articles inside tout its function, accuracy, durability, and ergonomics. The cycle is repeated with a new model, and the previously praised pistol passes into oblivion. I guess that is progress, and seems to stand as one of the rules of American marketing, but some models should not be forgotten.
Find Out More About Ruger Firearms
Introduced almost exactly six years ago, the Ruger P345 is just such a pistol. Ruger's first .45 auto, the P97 was introduced in 1997 and was praised as a durable, compact lightweight piece that featured a polymer frame. One published test even claimed that 5,000 rounds were fired in one without a failure of any kind. But the P97 was thought by some to be ugly, and it was not considered to be the equal of a SIG, Glock, Kimber, or a 1911 clone.
I have had mine for about seven years and have never had a misfire or stoppage of any kind. The good news is that it cost me exactly $350 at the time I bought it new. No, it is not the most elegant autoloader I have. That title belongs to a Smith & Wesson 4506.
But time marches on and Ruger replaced the P97 with the P345 in 2004. Although there are similarities between the two, there are also many differences. The P345 has three features that make it in compliance with restrictions in states that are unfriendly to handguns. First, it has a loaded chamber indicator. When a cartridge is in the chamber, a small bar pivoted at the rear is forced upward so the leading end rises out of a recess in the top of the slide, and two red dots and the word "loaded" become visible. Second, the P345 has a magazine disconnect so it will not fire with the magazine removed. Third, there is a key-activated lock that is accessed through a hole in the right hand safety lever when the safety lever is in the on position. These safety features bring praise from some and disdain from others. Many shooters will ignore the first two and never activate the third.
The exterior appearance of the P345 shows significant improvement over that of the P97, which does look somewhat like a blob. The P345 is slightly thinner and weighs 1.5 ounces less than the P97. The grip of the P345 has a better configuration than that of the P97, and has molded in sharp checkering rather than a slick surface. My P97 has worn a Hogue Handall® sleeve for years, but that won't be necessary for the P345.
Some years ago, I had admired the P345 from a distance, but when I held one I knew it was just a matter of time. Did I need the P345? Absolutely not, but since I interact well with most firearms, it seemed necessary. When I talked to my favorite dealer who also owns and runs the range where I shoot, the price he quoted made me realize that I had made the right decision.
So now that I have both a P97 and a P345, my impression is that they get no respect, but they certainly deserve it. The P345 feels as good in my hand as does any other autoloading pistol. At 29 ounces, it rides easily and points quickly. Being only 7.5 inches in length, it is a compact pistol but still features a 4.2 inch barrel. My old Ruger is the P97DC with the decocking levers, but the P345 has dual safety levers that also function as decocking levers.
Sights on the P345 are low and they can be moved laterally for windage adjustment. White dots on either side of the notch in the rear sight can be aligned quickly with one on the rear face of the front sight. The P345 is currently available with either a blue or stainless steel slide mated to the black polymer frame. To me, it has the most eye appeal of any Ruger autoloader yet. The grooves on the slide are sharp and give a good grip, and the conventional styled hammer is much more comfortable to the thumb than the style found on the P97 that had a sharp edge at the top.
Disassembly of the P345 is simple. After removing the magazine, draw the slide and lock it. Rotate the ejector pin downward in the magazine well. This unlocks the slide which is moved forward until the index mark on the slide is aligned with one on the frame. With the slide held firmly in that position, push the slide lock lever to the left and remove it from the frame. Move the slide forward to remove it and the barrel assembly from the frame. With the slide inverted, the recoil spring and guide rod can be separated from the barrel by lifting upward at the rear to separate the assembly from the barrel. The barrel can then be lifted at the rear and slid backward out of the slide.

This is an archived article that was published on sltrib.com in 2012, and information in the article may be outdated. It is provided only for personal research purposes and may not be reprinted.
Provo made its tread mark on the national map this month when the League of American Bicyclists recognized the city as a bronze-level bicycle-friendly community.
The league represents 57 million bicyclists and promotes cycling around the nation with more than 300,000 members.
Provo applied for the award, composed of five levels diamond, platinum, gold, silver and bronze.
Travis Martin, a cyclist and Mad Dog Cycles store manager in Provo, said social media have a lot to do with the recent surge in cycling.
"I have been in the bike retail industry since 1988, and I remember back then hardly anybody rode their bike to work, or on the streets, period," he said. "Now more and more people are starting to ride their bikes."
Martin, who commutes to work on his bike, said what was once a hobby is becoming a way for children and adults to get around and also stay in shape.
Although Provo received an entry-level award from the league, Provo spokeswoman Helen Anderson said the recognition is a start to building an even better community for bicyclists in the future.
"It is an important step forward," Anderson said of the award. "It is a small step, but a worthwhile one."
Utah is ranked 13th in the nation by the league. Provo now joins Salt Lake City and Park City as the only bike-friendly communities in Utah recognized by the group. The award will also improve the city's plan to become an outdoor recreation area and promote a healthier lifestyle for the younger generation.
"We know that biking communities are more connected and friendly to each other," she said.
The city has constructed 42 miles of bike lanes during the past 15 years. This summer the city added bike lanes on Seven Peaks Boulevard and expanded shoulders for biking from Provo to Springville on the south end of State Street along with several other bike-lane projects. As part of the city's recently awarded $150,000 grant, it has created a bicycle master plan, including seven miles of road on the west side of Provo with a separate trail for bikes and pedestrians.
Now with a population of more than 117,000, Provo continues to grow, and incorporating bicycling into the community as a means of transportation is an integral part of adapting to the growth, Anderson said.
"It demonstrates an interest in improving upon what we have," she said.
Provo volunteer bike committee co-chairman Aaron Skabelund hopes the recognition will extend beyond cycling being a hobby and more of an active, healthy lifestyle. "I'm hoping it will give us even greater momentum going forward in creating bike lanes and bike paths in the future."
Skabelund hopes Utah County will follow suit and get Brigham Young University on board by improving campus and community bike connections.
Noting the heated college rivalry, Skabelund said this fall the league awarded the University of Utah with silver status. It is the only college in Utah to have this recognition, he said.
"I hope BYU is not outdone by our rivals to the north," Skabelund said.

Oscar and Tony Award-winning actor Kevin Spacey gave a wild, rollicking and heartfelt tribute to Christopher Plummer at Monday night's gala for Waterford's Eugene O'Neill Theater Center. Plummer, 83, received the Monte Cristo Award at the New York-held event.
Spacey downed two triples of Jack Daniels in Plummer's honor as he told anecdotes and kidded the actor, including sharing one tale of an alcohol-inspired night that Jason Robards and Plummer brought a policeman's horse into the Palace Bar and Grill on Broadway "and having a much more difficult time getting horse out of the bar." Spacey also said he also shared a role with Plummer -- "That's right. I played Captain Von Trapp in my high school production of 'The Sound of Music' co-starring the wonderful Mare Winngham as Maria. This is true."
Spacey also kidded the physical award. "Although it is one of the most beautifully designed awards, it is also one of the most [expletive] heaviest awards you'll ever see in your life.You'll need a [expletive] fokr-lift to get it home."
More seriously he said: "There's no finer recipient of the award. You and your spirit define the spirit of Eugene O'Neill and this award. You re-invent classic roles into fresh, exciting, dangerous and riveting portrayals. And you instantly make a new play a classic when you originate a role. As an audience [member] I have been astounded and as an actor I have learned so goddamn much because, as you know, us theater rats, we never stop learning.'
Also paying tribute to the actor was Tony Award-winner Nikki James, who played opposite him on "Caesar and Cleopatra" in 2008, pianist Inon Barnatan, documentarian Ric Burns, actor Daniel Breaker, O'Neill executive director Preston Whiteway and producer and O'Neill board chairman Thomas Viertel.
Zoe Caldwell was also at the event and paid tribute to Plummer: " "I have known Christopher Plummer for a very long time. I mean. I've known him longer than I've known Eugene O'Neill...or the Gelbs [biographers of O'Neill]. I have played with him as an actor, I've been directed by him and I have directed him and watched him like a hawk in every medium and he never ceases to amaze me. Now he's gone too far. He doesn't get older like the rest of us. He gets better. Simpler. More powerful and more capable of removing his armor. That's a great actor. What do you think of that, Eugene?"
When it came time for Plummer to speak, he was charming, gracious and touched. "The cause is so worthy and it makes me feel young again like I'm starting over. I hope to god it postpones a little of my own long day's journey into night...i am humbled and proud and grateful, to all of you for such a lovely night and making the whole thing go to my head. And grateful, too, that in the arts there is always some summit to attain, to conquer, a summit far higher than Everest, perilously inviting, if only we could reach it. Well, I guess we'll just have to try."
Off stage, I asked him if there was any possibility of him plying James Tyrone in "Long Day's Journey Into Night" on stage. "A long run in as Tyrone would be suicidal," he said, laughing. When asked if he might do it on film, he deferred answering , saying "It's a wonderful work. We'll see."

Megareader: Barret...WATCH OUT!!!
Much like Type n Walk shows you what's on the other side of your phone while you text, MegaReader creates a transparent backdrop for ebooks. Let's read A Tree Grows In Brooklyn in front of a tree growing in Brooklyn!
It's the first heads-up display of its kind for an iOS ebook app, and works on any iOS device with a camera that runs version 4.0 or higher. You can only read DRM-free books, unfortunately, which means that MegaReader's stash of 1.8 million free books is primarily classics and indies. But! They're classics and indies you can read on the go without bumping into things. Which, for a two dollar app, isn't half bad.
$2, but still probably a bad idea in general.
Twimon: Kat, I choose you!
This Twitter app is so bonkers, I don't even know where to begin. *deep breath* Ok, so it has MONSTERS and like POKEMON, your monsters ATTACK your followers' monsters and...oh god, I miss the days of Twitter SMS.
The app itself is a free download, but you can pay for monster eggs inside the game for a buck each. It's your duty to raise your egg, nurturing it by tapping on it or tweeting. Once the monster pops out of the egg, it starts attacking areas within your location (via Google Maps, naturally), every five minutes. If your monster gets attacked though, be prepared for some tears and lost points.
Oh, and you can tweet inane commentary about your breakfast cereals.
Free with in app purchases.
Time Shutter: A free app that puts historical San Francisco in your pocket, in the form of a geo-enabled map, historic photos you can overlay on modern SF, and more. Free! History! It's cool!
OneNote: Microsoft is crrraaaazy about the cloud these days, and they're using OneNote Mobile, a free companion app to their popular lists and notes software, to get iPhone users on board. Naturally, it syncs seamlessly with Windows Live SkyDrive.
The OneNote iPhone app, free for a limited time, lets you make lists and take notes that can include text, photos, checkboxes and bullet points which can be organized into various color-coded sections. And thanks to Windows Live, OneNote possesses the one crucial note-taking feature: syncing. With a Windows Live ID, your notes get stored in the cloud, allowing you to get at 'em from the PC software, a web app, or the iOS or Windows Phone 7 apps. COOL! And perhaps this means we'll be seeing other Office apps in the App Store soon.
Trickle: A Giz App of the Day. Pretty simple: Designed for in-dock usage, Trickle shows you your Tweets one at a time, as they come. You can tap one of two buttons to retweet or favorite a tweet, and you can swipe back through your timeline manually, but that's about it. Perhaps not ideal for Twittermaniacs who follow people by the hundreds, but for monitoring a well-maintained list of followers (or even a single source) it's pretty clever. And better than staring at your battery crawl up while your iPhone's in the dock, in any event. $1
PBS: While Angry Birds may boost your self-esteem, it does not necessarily enrich your mind. The new iPhone app from PBS makes dozens of full episodes of shows like NOVA, Nature, and yes Antiques Roadshow available on your phone. Free.
Precorder: A Giz App of the Day. Precorder's a replacement for your iPhone's built in video-shooting app. It perpetually saves a few seconds of video before you actually hit the record button, so if you're filming a specific action, as opposed to a general scene, you can wait for the thing, whatever that may be, to happen and then add a few seconds of build-up after the fact. Say you're waiting for your dog to do something cute. You don't have to film him for minutes at a time and then whittle down the footage; you can just point your iPhone at him, wait for him to lick his balls, and then hit record. Precorder will back things up a and give you the previous 5 or 6 seconds of footage. $1.
Google Places: A Giz App of the Day. Once upon a time, Google tried to buy the restaurant-rating site Yelp. When that fell through, they decided they'd just build their own version. Google Places for iPhone, which includes Google's new restaurant recommendation engine, Hotpot, is a key piece of that puzzle, a polished resource for finding nearby restaurants, bars, and cafes when people are out and about. Places has been on Android for a minute now, natch, but the iPhone version opens the service up to tons more users (and soon, with the Verizon iPhone, tons and tons of more users). Free.

The combined price tag for a grand redesign of California's plumbing network now surpasses a staggering $35 billion, although there are signals that the final bill will eventually shrink.
It's still not entirely clear who will pay how much of the final tab, but some very rough estimates have surfaced.
San Diego area ratepayers can expect to pay in the neighborhood of $100 more a year, North County farmers could see their already-rising costs go up as much as $250 for every acre foot of water used and businesses will also be pinched more depending on the amount they take.
Water officials say the alternative is to continue to rely on antiquated state water works that are in danger of being shut down at any time to protect fish.
"What we're really going to gain is a more reliable system," said Gary Arant, general manager of Valley Center Municipal Water District and a member of the San Diego County Water Authority board of directors.
Others insist the state is spending too much on overly ambitious programs that may not work, including in the Sacramento Delta and on new water conveyance. Also, the water authority has joined forces with San Diego Mayor
Final decisions are months, if not years away. But the various players — from local agencies to federal regulators — are locked in intense talks on three related fronts:
• Scaling back a long-stalled $11 billion water bond, which could deliver $227 million to the San Diego County region. Earmarks for certain projects across the state are likely to be erased as Brown and lawmakers look to trim billions to make it more palatable to voters. Reservoir funding is a prime big-ticket target at $3 billion.
• Permitting Gov. Jerry Brown's $14 billion "twin tunnels" project under the delta or an alternative to bring Northern California water south, including to San Diego County that counts on the current system to fill about a third of its annual needs.
• Securing approval of a related 50-year, $10.5 billion plan to restore the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta, from the fishery to flood protection.
While moving forward on separate paths, the various programs are linked politically as well as financially.
The state is counting on nearly $2 billion of the proposed water bond proceeds to help pay for its various programs to restore the environmentally and economically vital delta. The delta is a 1,300-mile maze of water ways that acts as a funnel to bring water to millions of residents, farm land and businesses.
Water agencies that will pay for a new conveyance system want to see the bond measure allocate substantial sums for environmental improvements and storage projects so their supplies are not always squeezed to protect fish. Without that assurance, some doubt the wisdom of pouring billions into a new pipeline that is supposed to minimize harm to the fish now caused by powerful pumps that divert water through the delta.
"That's the heart and soul of the negotiations," said Tim Quinn, executive director of the Association of California Water Agencies.
The state is preparing a comprehensive financing plan for the delta program, which is expected to be out later in May.
More immediately, the Brown Administration and federal government are moving to release a joint 20,000-page environmental review of the Delta improvement program in the coming days.
"California has struggled over how to deal with the delta for decades," said Mark Cowin, director of the state Department of Water Resources. "Meanwhile, the health of the delta continues to decline and with it the water supply reliability that fuels the economy."
The state's delta plan is not totally reliant on the proposed bond, however. Billions are tucked away in previously approved bonds, special funds and federal revenues that could be diverted from other uses to keep the delta package on track.
"We have to get the water through the delta," said Ted Page, president of the Kern County Water Agency who farms near Wasco. "To me, that's the No. 1 concern."
Cowin said the goal is to bring the final water bond in under $10 billion. But that puts the $227 million for various water development programs in San Diego County at risk. Statewide, the bond would raise billions for water recycling, clean-water and watershed protection, in addition to storage and delta programs.
Cowin said he supports keeping the $3 billion earmarked for new reservoirs.
Arant likes to hear that. New reservoirs will guard against dry spells and help the state cope with climate change that is reducing snowpack, he said.
Critics say aboveground storage threatens fisheries and other habitat. They say conservation, groundwater and other alternatives would do the job at less cost in terms of money and to the environment.
This year is exhibit A for that argument. The state lost the opportunity to capture some 700,000 acre-feet of early-season abundance because of operation limits tied to fish safeguards and the lack of a backup reservoir to take the early-season runoff that has since dried up, Arant said.
An acre foot is about 326,000 gallons or enough to serve two households for a year.
Thursday's final snowpack survey of the year is expected to confirm that this has been one of the driest springs on record, with only about half of the normal snowfall.
The delta package and water bond money are designed to stabilize water supplies, even in times of drought, officials say.
Neither is assured, particularly the bond given its history.
After a hard-fought, years-long campaign, lawmakers in 2009 finally approved an $11 billion measure for the 2010 ballot. But the recession and shifting priorities forced them to withdraw it twice.
Complicating passage is the need for a two-thirds vote of the Legislature plus the governor's signature. Votes could peel away if pet projects — some dub it pork — are deleted. A decision on leaving money in for reservoirs could win some backers and lose others.
Senate President Pro Tempore
"A lot leaner," is how Steinberg described what the new version would look like.
When that happens is the question. Brown and lawmakers have a busy agenda ahead. Among the divisive issues competing for time: the budget, new federal health care mandate, school funding formulas, and overhauling the state's premier environmental protection law.

Now for the last 10 years or so, Madden has ruled the football sim scene. Few have come to challenge the football crown since its inception. But with EA taking the helm, perhaps this will be a game to finally provide a viable alternative to Madden's stranglehold .
There are two main ways to play NCAA Football 08. There's Dynasty mode and Campus Legend mode. Dynasty mode lets you pick your favorite college team and players, and play through a regular season to make your school's team the best. This mode by and large works well. Game mechanics, controls, and audio generally work well, and it's a satisfying experience. You can pick your plays, and utilize all your team members in a way that best suits you. To put it plainly, it's very much like the Madden experience, but with college names. Which is not a bad thing at all.
Campus legend, however, is a completely different experience. You step into the shoes of a pre-existing or custom made up-and-comer fresh into his senior year of high school. Your goal: attract the hottest schools and score a scholarship. And then once you do that, it's up to you to become the star player of your chosen school. There are several reasons why this mode doesn't work. First of all, you can only play as your own position. Which makes for a very boring experience. One of the big exciting things about Football games is having the coordination and speed to switch between characters to make plays both successful and cohesive. And when you're only playing as one character, you really loose that experience. When your only task is to decide who to pass to, or whom to tackle, it's not really that difficult or exciting.
One nice little mode that was a welcome addition in my opinion was the mini-game mode. Now normally "mini-game" and "football" don't belong in a sentence together, but in NCAA Football 08, the football centric mini-games are very diverting and nice if you just want to throw around a football for a few minutes instead of playing through an entire game. I also found that the mini-game mode serves as a practice ground where you can get comfortable with the general gameplay.
Controls for this game are very standard football game fare: very complicated. However, the good thing is that they're very intuitive, and although your buttons will be used for many different actions on the field, depending on where you are, and whether you're playing offense or defense, they are all somewhat related, so it's fine by me. If you have any experience with football games, you'll pick this one up right away. However, if this is your first outing with football on a console, then you may want to look elsewhere, because this game lacks any kind of tutorial.
Multiplayer modes work well, and I'm happy to report that this game is great to play with friends. Because my personal experience with football games is more of a social experience, I always give major points to football games that are fun to play with a crowd. Online modes are still a little shaky, but the experience isn't too bad. Unfortunately, I didn't get too much time in with the online modes because I ran into more than a couple glitches and kept got kicked off due to an "EA server error". Don't quite know what the bug was, but hopefully by the time you read this the problem will be rectified.

AMHERST, Mass. -- The Brandeis baseball team suffered a 7-0 non-conference defeat at the hands of Amherst College on Friday afternoon. The Judges were held to seven hits over nine innings as they fell to 5-11 on the campaign. The Lord Jeffs improved to 9-5.
Brandeis had just one multiple hitter on the day, senior catcher Chris Ferro (Walpole, Mass./Walpole). Ferro had a first-inning double that hit off the top of the fence and just missed being a home run. It came with two outs, and the Judges were unable to advance him past second. Ferro also led off the sixth inning with a single, but was erased trying to steal second. Sophomore 2B Tom McCarthy (Yonkers, N.Y./Fieldston School) also reached base twice, getting hit by a pitch in the sixth and singling in the ninth. Junior Dominic Schwartz (San Fransisco, Calif./Lowell) was the only other Brandeis player to reach second base when he stole second with two away in the sixth, but could get no further.
Amherst junior Dylan Driscoll was on the hill for the whole game for the Lord Jeffs, shutting down the Judges. He struck out two and didn't walk a batter. He improved to 3-0 on the season by throwing just 98 pitches in the complete game. A pair of juniors, shortstop Taiki Kasuga and first baseman Eric West each tallied three hits and drove in a run to pace the Lord Jeff offense. Rookie catcher Connor Gunn plated two runners in the four-run third inning, providing all the scoring the hosts would need.
On the hill for Brandeis, senior Mike Swerdloff (Scarsdale, N.Y./Ardsley) took the loss for Brandeis, falling to 1-2 as he yielded nine hits and four runs over 5.2 innings of work, striking out four and walking one. Sophomore Elio Fernandez (Bronx, N.Y./Fordham Prep) came on in the sixth before surrendering a run in the seventh then giving way to rookie James Machado (Dracut, Mass./Dracut) for the final out of the frame. Sophomore Kyle Brenner (Brookfield, Mass./St. Peter Marian) pitched the eighth for the Judges, yielding the final two Amherst runs.
Brandeis returns to action on Tuesday afternoon when they take on Tufts University in their home opener at 3 p.m.

Make love to it. Caress it.
As somebody with no art talent he amazed me by being able to make things looks so good by doing so little. 'You just did 4 quick brush strokes, WHY IS THAT A BEAUTIFUL TREE?!' and why is it so happy? And I can't believe the guy who made Mr Rogers look stressed and angry was a drill sergeant.
Which is even more incredible once you knew that Mr. Rogers was a former sniper.

ORICA-GreenEDGE Wins Giro d'Italia OpenerFri 9 May 2014
ORICA-GreenEDGE won the team time trial on the opening stage of the 2014 Giro d'Italia on Friday. Svein Tuft led the Australian outfit across the finish line, stopping the clock at 24'42 over the 21.7 kilometre course. The Canadian celebrated his 37th birthday by pulling on the maglia rosa in Belfast.
"I'm completely overwhelmed by this," said Tuft. "It was an incredible thing for the team to give me this chance. I'm so proud to ride for a team where something like this can happen. These guys are all like brothers to me. We came in with big expectations, and we were able to deliver. It hasn't really sunk in yet, but being up there on the podium with the guys was something I'll never forget."
"We've had some big victories over the last two weeks," said Sport Director Matt White. "This is one we called a long way out. This was our big goal at the Giro. I think a lot of teams are scared to call it because they're scared of failing. That's not how we roll. We're honest. We called it. We went for it. We got it. This is a very proud moment."
The flat route made for fast racing, and the team handled the technical sections with ease of course, carving their way through the tunnel of noise created by the spectators decked out in pink. The team clocked the winning time with an average speed of 52.7 kilometres per hour. The second team to race, ORICA-GreenEDGE endured a two hour wait in the hot seat before receiving confirmation that their ride was good for the win. Five seconds slower than the Australian outfit, Omega Pharma-Quick-Step had come closest to challenging for the jersey. At seven seconds, BMC rounded out the stage podium.
"A lot of work certainly went into our participation," said White. "The selection of the team and the race programmes of these riders here – it was all very intentional. We've used a core group of guys many times in the team time trial in the past, so it's about adapting the guys who aren't as familiar with our regime into the team time trial programme. That all went every smoothly."
"We were definitely the favourites coming into the stage," White added. "Hats off to the guys. It's a lot harder to win when you're the favourites for a race like this. They handled the pressure well. I'm really proud of them all."
Part of the team since its maiden season, Tuft has been an integral part of each of the Australian outfit's important team time trial results. During his tenure with the team, the eight time Canadian National Champion has helped deliver victory in the collective race against the clock at Tirreno-Adriatco, Eneco Tour and at the Tour de France. The win at the Tour put Simon Gerrans in the yellow jersey.
Tuft teamed up with Luke Durbridge to twice win Duo Normand, sending a record-breaking time last year. He also was part of the team's medal winning rides in the team time trial at the World Championships – bronze in 2012, silver last year. The second Canadian to pull on the pink jersey, Tuft follows in the footsteps of Giro d'Italia winner Ryder Hesjedal (Garmin-Sharp).
"I didn't want to say anything about it before the race, but Svein was always our guy," said White. "The ethos of this team is you get what you give. Svein has been part of all our great time trial results, and I think it's only fitting that the guy who's been the lynch pin of so many big moments gets the limelight for at least one day."
"The team told me at the meeting this morning that they wanted me to lead the team across the line," Tuft said. "It really meant a lot to me. I give everything on days like today, and I would have been just as proud if one of the others guys got to wear the jersey."
The Giro d'Italia continues over the weekend with two road stages in Ireland earmarked for the sprinters. ORICA-GreenEDGE plans to work for Michael Matthews in the fast finales. The 23-year-old made his Grand Tour debut at the Vuelta a España last year, winning two stages.
"Having the maglia rosa is a very coveted jersey," said White. "We want to keep it as long as possible. We ticked this box today, but we're still chasing stage wins. The next two stages, we'll support Michael Matthews in the sprints. This works with our plan to keep the jersey. Petacchi (Omega Pharma – Quick-Step) is the only sprinter within striking distance. Our main rivals in the sprints are a little bit further down. Even if they win stages, they can't take the jersey from us."

2016 contenders court mega-donors
A week after Election Day, three Republican governors mentioned as 2016 presidential candidates — Bobby Jindal, John Kasich and Bob McDonnell — each stopped by the Venetian Resort Hotel Casino to meet privately with its owner Sheldon Adelson, a man who could single-handedly underwrite their White House ambitions.
Planning a presidential campaign used to mean having coffee with county party chairs in their Iowa or New Hampshire living rooms. The courting of Adelson, a full four years out from 2016, demonstrates how super PAC sugar daddies have become the new must-have feature for White House wannabes.
Story Continued Below
( Also on POLITICO: Megadonors seek low profiles)
And prospective candidates from both parties are wasting little time schmoozing potential super PAC funders.
Maryland Gov. Martin O'Malley is meeting with big donors in Los Angeles this week and has a fundraiser scheduled for next Monday in the Washington suburbs. Vice President Joe Biden, Republican Texas Gov. Rick Perry and Sen. Mark Warner (D-Va.) have been meeting with big donors, leaving the impression that they're ready to run.
"A group of five people could contribute $10 million each and finance a substantial primary campaign for a candidate," said former South Carolina Gov. Jim Hodges. "So there is probably more of an effort right now focused on trying to look at those people who are capable of being very large donors, rather than soliciting or developing the network of bundlers that were out there in the past."
( PHOTOS: Republicans, 2016: In full swing)
Hodges, a Democrat, is co-hosting the fundraiser for O'Malley's leadership PAC in Chevy Chase, Md., on Monday. He also raised money earlier this year for the PAC fronted by Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick, and said he'd probably help other Democrats "who want to get out there and test the waters" by meeting with donors. "It's an important part of a process."
And it's becoming more important, as demonstrated by the 2012 Republican primaries — the first since federal court decisions allowed super PACs to accept unlimited cash — which proved that a single super-rich supporter can essentially float an entire campaign. While the GOP establishment desperately tried to rally around eventual nominee Mitt Romney, super PACs funded by Adelson, Foster Friess and Jon Huntsman Sr. extended the challenges of Newt Gingrich, Rick Santorum and Jon Huntsman Jr. respectively, before a pro-Romney super PAC obliterated the field.
And in 2016 — with open primaries in both parties and the power of super PACs firmly established — the biggest donors are being courted earlier than ever. Not only are entreaties coming before most of the donors are anywhere close to choosing sides, none of the suitors are willing to discuss their plans publicly.
( See also: Dem super PACs jump on 2014, 2016)
Santorum is privately telling friends that he's running again, POLITICO has learned. Friess, a retired mutual fund guru who donated $2.2 million to a pair of super PACs credited with helping lift Santorum to a surprise win over Romney in the Iowa caucuses, said, "Right now, I'm certainly still in his camp, but four years is a long way away."
Adelson — a Las Vegas casino billionaire whose family donated a record $84 million or more to GOP outside groups, including $20 million each to the super PACs devoted to Romney and Gingrich — has signaled that he is undeterred from his weak 2012 return on investment and plans to continue giving big.

Adagio Teas
If you've been reading my ravings for a while, then you know I pretty much calls 'em as I sees 'em. If I don't like a tea or tea-related product I say so. Even if someone has sent me a tea or other product to try out, as Adagio was kind enough to do recently with some sample teas and a nifty gadget they've dubbed the ingenuiTEA.
To be quite honest, I was ready not to like the ingenuiTEA, even though it sounded like a keen enough gadget. The problem with some gadgets that are supposed to be convenient is that they turn out to be...well, kind of inconvenient. But not so with the ingenuiTEA. I'm happy to report that it's "slicker than shit," to borrow one of my grandfather's favorite phrases.
So just what is the ingenuiTEA? Well, it doesn't look like much, pretty much like a sixteen ounce plastic pitcher with a lid, though the design is rather aesthetically pleasing.
The way the ingenuiTEA works is like this. Load it with an appropriate amount of loose tea, add hot water and let the lid drop until it's done steeping. Now here's where it gets good, though watching the tea leaves floating freely and infusing the water with a pleasing color was pretty good for starters.
When the tea is ready, place the ingenuiTEA on your cup. A thin stream of brewed tea shoots out of the filter bottom and into the cup. This is a really, really cool thing to watch, by the way, but maybe it's just me.
Anyway, if you've made enough tea for one cup, you're done. If you've made enough for two, lift the ingenuiTEA from your cup. The flow instantly stops and you can repeat the "pouring" process again.
Pretty nifty and, to use another of my grandfather's phrases, "what'll they think of next?"
The ingenuiTEA is available at Adagio's Web site for $15 or in a gift set with four one-ounce sample tins of tea for $19.

Product Review - Adagio ingenuiTEA

Am I correct to assume that the ingenuiTEA only fits certain sizes of cups? I would love to use it on my favourite 16oz. wide mug.
Regardless, sounds nifty! Thanks for the review!
- muriel said...
how would you compare it to the Teavana tea maker? which one would u buy?
- Mithril Mayhem said...
I've had one for a few weeks now and I absolutely love it.
So convenient for the single serve, very easy to clean and perfect size for a large mug.
It does look pretty awesome as the tea is brewing but even better is the catch at the bottom, no drips or leaking when you lift it.
Shipping through Adagio to Australia is a rip off but luckily Think Geek stocks them :)

How the Dumb Design of a WWII Plane Led to the Macintosh
The B-17 Flying Fortress rolled off the drawing board and onto the runway in a mere 12 months, just in time to become the fearsome workhorse of the US Air Force during World War II. Its astounding toughness made pilots adore it: The B-17 could roar through angry squalls of shrapnel and bullets, emerging pockmarked…
The B-17 Flying Fortress rolled off the drawing board and onto the runway in a mere 12 months, just in time to become the fearsome workhorse of the US Air Force during World War II. Its astounding toughness made pilots adore it: The B-17 could roar through angry squalls of shrapnel and bullets, emerging pockmarked but still airworthy. It was a symbol of American ingenuity, held aloft by four engines, bristling with a dozen machine guns.
Imagine being a pilot of that mighty plane. You know your primary enemy—the Germans and Japanese in your gunsights. But you have another enemy that you can't see, and it strikes at the most baffling times. Say you're easing in for another routine landing. You reach down to deploy your landing gear. Suddenly, you hear the scream of metal tearing into the tarmac. You're rag-dolling around the cockpit while your plane skitters across the runway. A thought flickers across your mind about the gunners below and the other crew: "Whatever has happened to them now, it's my fault." When your plane finally lurches to a halt, you wonder to yourself: "How on earth did my plane just crash when everything was going fine? What have I done?"
For all the triumph of America's new planes and tanks during World War II, a silent reaper stalked the battlefield: accidental deaths and mysterious crashes that no amount of training ever seemed to fix. And it wasn't until the end of the war that the Air Force finally resolved to figure out what had happened.
To do that, the Air Force called upon a young psychologist at the Aero Medical Laboratory at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base near Dayton, Ohio. Paul Fitts was a handsome man with a soft Tennessee drawl, analytically minded but with a shiny wave of Brylcreemed hair, Elvis-like, which projected a certain suave nonconformity. Decades later, he'd become known as one of the Air Force's great minds, the person tasked with hardest, weirdest problems—such as figuring out why people saw UFOs.
For now though, he was still trying to make his name with a newly minted PhD in experimental psychology. Having an advanced degree in psychology was still a novelty; with that novelty came a certain authority. Fitts was supposed to know how people think. But his true talent is to realize that he doesn't.
When the thousands of reports about plane crashes landed on Fitts's desk, he could have easily looked at them and concluded that they were all the pilot's fault—that these fools should have never been flying at all. That conclusion would have been in keeping with the times. The original incident reports themselves would typically say "pilot error," and for decades no more explanation was needed. This was, in fact, the cutting edge of psychology at the time. Because so many new draftees were flooding into the armed forces, psychologists had begun to devise aptitude tests that would find the perfect job for every soldier. If a plane crashed, the prevailing assumption was: That person should not have been flying the plane. Or perhaps they should have simply been better trained. It was their fault.
But as Fitts pored over the Air Force's crash data, he realized that if "accident prone" pilots really were the cause, there would be randomness in what went wrong in the cockpit. These kinds of people would get hung on anything they operated. It was in their nature to take risks, to let their minds wander while landing a plane. But Fitts didn't see noise; he saw a pattern. And when he went to talk to the people involved about what actually happened, they told of how confused and terrified they'd been, how little they understood in the seconds when death seemed certain.
The examples slid back and forth on a scale of tragedy to tragicomic: pilots who slammed their planes into the ground after misreading a dial; pilots who fell from the sky never knowing which direction was up; the pilots of B-17s who came in for smooth landings and yet somehow never deployed their landing gear. And others still, who got trapped in a maze of absurdity, like the one who, having jumped into a brand-new plane during a bombing raid by the Japanese, found the instruments completely rearranged. Sweaty with stress, unable to think of anything else to do, he simply ran the plane up and down the runway until the attack ended.
Fitts' data showed that during one 22-month period of the war, the Air Force reported an astounding 457 crashes just like the one in which our imaginary pilot hit the runway thinking everything was fine. But the culprit was maddeningly obvious for anyone with the patience to look. Fitts' colleague Alfonse Chapanis did the looking. When he started investigating the airplanes themselves, talking to people about them, sitting in the cockpits, he also didn't see evidence of poor training. He saw, instead, the impossibility of flying these planes at all. Instead of "pilot error," he saw what he called, for the first time, "designer error."
The reason why all those pilots were crashing when their B-17s were easing into a landing was that the flaps and landing gear controls looked exactly the same. The pilots were simply reaching for the landing gear, thinking they were ready to land. And instead, they were pulling the wing flaps, slowing their descent, and driving their planes into the ground with the landing gear still tucked in. Chapanis came up with an ingenious solution: He created a system of distinctively shaped knobs and levers that made it easy to distinguish all the controls of the plane merely by feel, so that there's no chance of confusion even if you're flying in the dark.
By law, that ingenious bit of design—known as shape coding—still governs landing gear and wing flaps in every airplane today. And the underlying idea is all around you: It's why the buttons on your videogame controller are differently shaped, with subtle texture differences so you can tell which is which. It's why the dials and knobs in your car are all slightly different, depending on what they do. And it's the reason your virtual buttons on your smartphone adhere to a pattern language.
But Chapanis and Fitts were proposing something deeper than a solution for airplane crashes. Faced with the prospect of soldiers losing their lives to poorly designed machinery, they invented a new paradigm for viewing human behavior. That paradigm lies behind the user-friendly world that we live in every day. They realized that it was absurd to train people to operate a machine and assume they would act perfectly under perfect conditions.
Instead, designing better machines meant figuring how people acted without thinking, in the fog of everyday life, which might never be perfect. You couldn't assume humans to be perfectly rational sponges for training. You had to take them as they were: distracted, confused, irrational under duress. Only by imagining them at their most limited could you design machines that wouldn't fail them.
This new paradigm took root slowly at first. But by 1984—four decades after Chapanis and Fitts conducted their first studies—Apple was touting a computer for the rest of us in one of its first print ads for the Macintosh: "On a particularly bright day in Cupertino, California, some particularly bright engineers had a particularly bright idea: Since computers are so smart, wouldn't it make sense to teach computers about people, instead of teaching people about computers? So it was that those very engineers worked long days and nights and a few legal holidays, teaching silicon chips all about people. How they make mistakes and change their minds. How they refer to file folders and save old phone numbers. How they labor for their livelihoods, and doodle in their spare time." (Emphasis mine.) And that easy-to-digest language molded the smartphones and seamless technology we live with today.
Along the long and winding path to a user-friendly world, Fitts and Chapanis laid the most important brick. They realized that as much as humans might learn, they would always be prone to err—and they inevitably brought presuppositions about how things should work to everything they used. This wasn't something you could teach of existence. In some sense, our limitations and preconceptions are what it means to be human—and only by understanding those presumptions could you design a better world.
Today, this paradigm shift has produced trillions in economic value. We now presume that apps that reorder the entire economy should require no instruction manual at all; some of the most advanced computers ever made now come with only cursory instructions that say little more than "turn it on." This is one of the great achievements of the last century of technological progress, with a place right alongside GPS, Arpanet, and the personal computer itself.
It's also an achievement that remains unappreciated because we assume this is the way things should be. But with the assumption that even new technologies need absolutely no explaining comes a dark side: When new gadgets make assumptions about how we behave, they force unseen choices upon us. They don't merely defer to our desires. They shape them.
User friendliness is simply the fit between the objects around us and the ways we behave. So while we might think that the user-friendly world is one of making user-friendly things, the bigger truth is that design doesn't rely on artifacts; it relies on our patterns. The truest material for making new things isn't aluminum or carbon fiber. It's behavior. And today, our behavior is being shaped and molded in ways both magical and mystifying, precisely because it happens so seamlessly.
I got a taste of this seductive, user-friendly magic recently, when I went to Miami to tour a full-scale replica of Carnival Cruise's so-called Ocean Medallion experience. I began my tour in a fake living room, with two of the best-looking project staffers pretending to be husband and wife, showing me how the whole thing was supposed to go.
Using the app, you could reserve all your activities way before you boarded the ship. And once on board, all you needed was to carry was a disk the size of a quarter; using that, any one of the 4,000 touchscreens on the ship could beam you personalized information, such which way you needed to go for your next reservation. The experience recalled not just scenes from Her and Minority Report, but computer-science manifestos from the late 1980s that imagined a suite of gadgets that would adapt to who you are, morphing to your needs in the moment.
Behind the curtains, in the makeshift workspace, a giant whiteboard wall was covered with a sprawling map of all the inputs that flow into some 100 different algorithms that crunch every bit of a passenger's preference behavior to create something called the "Personal Genome." If Jessica from Dayton wanted sunscreen and a mai tai, she could order them on her phone, and a steward would deliver them in person, anywhere across the sprawling ship.
The server would greet Jessica by name, and maybe ask if she was excited about her kitesurfing lesson. Over dinner, if Jessica wanted to plan an excursion with friends, she could pull up her phone and get recommendations based on the overlapping tastes of the people she was sitting with. If only some people like fitness and others love history, then maybe they'll all like a walking tour of the market at the next port.
Jessica's Personal Genome would be recalculated three times a second by 100 different algorithms using millions of data points that encompassed nearly anything she did on the ship: How long she lingered on a recommendation for a sightseeing tour; the options that she didn't linger on at all; how long she'd actually spent in various parts of the ship; and what's nearby at that very moment or happening soon. If, while in her room, she had watched one of Carnival's slickly produced travel shows and seen something about a market tour at one her ports of call, she'd later get a recommendation for that exact same tour when the time was right. "Social engagement is one of the things being calculated, and so is the nuance of the context," one of the executives giving me the tour said.

It was like having a right-click for the real world. Standing on the mocked-up sundeck, knowing that whatever I wanted would find me, and that whatever I might want would find its way either onto the app or the screens that lit up around the cruise ship as I walked around, it wasn't hard to see how many other businesses might try to do the same thing. In the era following World War II, the idea that designers could make the world easier to understand was a breakthrough.
But today, "I understand what I should do" has become "I don't need to think at all." For businesses, intuitiveness has now become mandatory, because there are fortunes to be made by making things just a tad more frictionless. "One way to view this is creating this kind of frictionless experience is an option. Another way to look at it is that there's no choice," said John Padgett, the Carnival executive who had shepherded the Ocean Medallion to life. "For millennials, value is important. But hassle is more important, because the era they've grow up in. It's table stakes. You have to be hassle-free to get them to participate."
By that logic, the real world was getting to be disappointing when compared with the frictionless ease of this increasingly virtual world. Taken as a whole, Carnival's vision for seamless customer service that can anticipate your every whim was like an Uber for everything, powered by Netflix recommendations for meatspace. And these are in fact the experiences that many more designers will soon be striving for: invisible, everywhere, perfectly tailored, with no edges between one place and the next. Padgett described this as a "market of one," in which everything you saw would be only the thing you want.
The Market of One suggests to me a break point in the very idea of user friendliness. When Chapanis and Fitts were laying the seeds of the user-friendly world, they had to find the principles that underlie how we expect the world to behave. They had to preach the idea that products built on our assumptions about how things should work would eventually make even the most complex things easy to understand.
Steve Jobs' dream of a "bicycle for the mind"—a universal tool that might expand the reach of anyone—has arrived. High technology has made our lives easier; made us better at our jobs, and created jobs that never existed before; it has made the people we care about closer to us. But friction also has value: It's friction that makes us question whether we do in fact need the thing we want. Friction is the path to introspection. Infinite ease quickly becomes the path of least resistance; it saps our free will, making us submit to someone else's guess about who we are. We can't let that pass. We have to become cannier, more critical consumers of the user-friendly world. Otherwise, we risk blundering into more crashes that we'll only understand after the worst has already happened.

Today's News
Meet the Tesla Cybertruck, Elon Musk's Ford-fighting pickup truck
Tesla CEO Elon Musk last night unveiled his newest baby, an all-electric pickup called the Tesla Cybertruck. He demonstrated that it can take a sledgehammer to the door with nary a scratch, and he also accidentally demonstrated that it can't take a ball to the window. But behind the showmanship and Elon's audible disbelief at the onstage mishap is a truck with a 500-mile range and the torque that comes from an electric motor. It represents an important new market expansion for Tesla. Now it just has to actually put the darn thing into production.

Oak Ridge police are investigating a Saturday robbery of a Pizza Hut delivery employee, but have made no arrest in the case.
Oak Ridge police are investigating a Saturday robbery of a Pizza Hut delivery employee, but have made no arrest in the case.
Officer Roy Heinz went to the Rocky Top Market on Jefferson Avenue shortly after 10 p.m., when the victim called the Police Department from the store. Reports said the 25-year-old victim told Heinz an unidentified black male had robbed him of his cell phone, $70 in cash and three pizzas near his delivery site on Jefferson Avenue.
He drove to the Rocky Top to call police, reports said.
The victim told Heinz he was delivering the pizzas to a home on Jefferson Avenue, when a man on the street came to his car, poked a handgun into his chest and said: "Give me what you've got."
Reports said the victim was "upset and shaking" when Heinz arrived. He said he had worked for Pizza Hut for three months.
The victim described the robber as thin with dark skin and in his 30s. He was wearing a black hoodie with long sleeves and was clean shaven. He also told Heinz he could identify the man if he saw him again.
Reports said Pizza Hut got the call from a "George W." from the address on Jefferson about 9:22 p.m. The caller reportedly sounded like an "intoxicated redneck."

HiLyte Fluor555-IgG conjugate has been optimized in fluorophore/protein labeling ratio to ensure high fluorescent signal and uncompromised IgG function. HiLyte Fluor555 is an orange flurophore with brighter fluorescence and better photostability than Cy3. The fluorescence of HiLyte Fluor555 is only slightly red-shifted as compared to that of Cy3 dyes, resulting in an optimal match to filters designed for Cy3 dyes. The fluorescence of HiLyte Fluor555 can be observed at excitation/emission wavelength of 553 nm/568 nm.The goat anti-rabbit IgG is highly adsorbed with minimal cross-reaction to human, mouse, and rat serum protein. This secondary antibody is ideal for multi-fluorescence staining in which several primary antibodies from different species are involved.

March 16, 2011 -- The asthma drug Xolair (omalizumab) improves asthma control, nearly eliminates seasonal flare-ups, and allows reductions in the doses of other asthma control medications in children as young as 6, according to a new study.
Xolair is approved by the FDA for use only in people 12 and older who have moderate to severe allergic asthma. In the clinical trial, Xolair was tested in children and young adults aged 6 to 20 and compared to placebo.
"We reduced symptom days by about 25%," says researcher William W. Busse, MD, professor of medicine at the University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health, Madison. "And we reduced exacerbation rates [the number of attacks] by about 30%.''
As good as he says those results are, Busse says, ''that wasn't the important part." His team found that the spike in asthma attacks typically seen in the fall and linked with colds and other airway infections was virtually eliminated in the children taking Xolair. "It indicates in these kids that allergy seems to play an important role in their asthma," he tells WebMD.
Another expert who reviewed the study, however, is not convinced that the drug merits more widespread use. Zab Mosenifar, MD, a pulmonologist who is executive vice chair of the department of medicine and a professor of medicine at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles, balks at the cost, among other factors.
According to the manufacturer, Genentech, the typical cost for the injected drug is $1,700 a month.
"Industry has been looking for a means of expanding the use of this agent," says Mosenifar, noting that its use is not widespread in patients 12 and older, by his observations.
Asthma Drug Xolair: Background
Xolair is a biologic drug that works by blocking antibodies called IgE, which in excess can trigger symptoms of allergic asthma, including shortness of breath, coughing, and wheezing.
Four years after its approval in 2003, the FDA required Genentech Inc. (which now markets the drug together with Novartis) to add to the label a boxed warning -- commonly called a ''black box" warning -- to caution users that the drug may cause anaphylaxis. That's a serious condition in which a person has trouble breathing, the chest becomes tight, and the throat and mouth swell.
In clinical trials, about one in 1,000 people reported anaphylaxis. Malignances have been another issue. In clinical trials, 0.5% of people on the drug reported cancers of the skin, breast, and other sites, compared to 0.2% of people on placebo.
In 2009, the FDA began to evaluate findings from an ongoing study of Xolair that suggests a link with heart disease and cerebrovascular problems, although it has not yet suggested any changes based on the interim findings.
Xolair: Study Details
Busse, with his co-researchers from the Inner City Asthma Consortium, randomly assigned 419 children and young adults, aged 6 to 20, with allergic asthma to get either injections of the drug or placebo. At the time of assignment to the groups, 73% had either moderate or severe disease.
About 97% of both groups were either African-American or Hispanic.
Busse tells WebMD it's long been known that inner-city children with asthma often have more severe disease than children living outside of urban areas, and they often have co-existing allergies to dust mites, cockroaches, and other allergens.
Both groups got education about controlling these environmental allergens and were given bedding covers, pest traps, and a vacuum cleaner.
Research has shown that hospitalization rates go up about two weeks after children with allergic asthma return to school in the fall, as they catch respiratory infections, triggering worse asthma attacks, Busse says.
In the study, the researchers followed the participants for 60 weeks, evaluating whether the drug reduced symptoms of asthma.
Before the study started, Busse says, the children's asthma was controlled with a variety of other medications, and then Xolair was added on.
Children got the injections either every two weeks or every four weeks, for a total of either 15 or 30 injections.
Besides the reduction in symptom days and attacks, children on the drug were less likely to be hospitalized. Although 1.5% of children on the drug were hospitalized during the study, 6.3% of children in the placebo group were.
Overall, adverse events affected the placebo group more. One in the Xolair group and six in the placebo group had anaphylaxis.
The typical seasonal spike in asthma wasn't seen in the drug group in the fall and summer, but nearly doubled in the placebo group during those times.
The study results suggest that in these children allergy plays an important role in their asthma, Busse says, with an interaction between allergy and viral infections possibly triggering the asthma attacks, a link others have suggested.
Controlling the allergies, Busse says, didn't result in fewer colds, but in his study did result in fewer asthma attacks. "We don't know exactly why," he says, although reducing inflammation may help explain the findings.
Although the drug is expensive, Busse points to the reduction in hospitalization costs as a benefit.
The study was funded by the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases of the National Institutes of Health and by Novartis.
Busse reports receiving board membership fees from Centocor and Merck, consulting fees from Genentech, and consulting fees and grant support from Novartis and other pharmaceutical companies.
Asthma Drug Xolair: Second View
Mosenifar reviewed the study for WebMD but was not involved in it. He has no disclosures relevant to the topic.
Although the study is scientifically sound, he says, "I'm a little skeptical about this. This drug has been around for seven or eight years.'' He cites concerns about anaphylaxis, cancers, and expense.
"Certainly this drug plays a role in allergic asthma, that is not new," he tells WebMD. "The nuance in this is that the allergy component is diminished [with Xolair]."
Although the population studied is definitely at higher risk of allergy and asthma, Mosenifar says ''there are better ways of dealing with this issue -- and that is environmental cleaning and household cleaning, which the authors imply have limitations. But I think they are very important."
As an alternative, he would suggest spending the money on basic measures -- dust mite-resistant pillow cases and control of pests such as cockroaches -- with the goal of preventing the initial elevation of IgE antibodies that sets the allergic ''cascade'' into action.
