This live channelling was Given in Patagonia South America on the Patagonia Kryon Cruise. February, 2012
|Lee Carroll
To help the reader, this channelling has been revisited [by Lee and Kryon] to provide even clearer understanding. Often what happens live has implied energy within it, which carries a kind of communication that the printed page does not. So enjoy this enhanced message given on the Kryon Patagonia Cruise 2012.
Greetings again, dear ones, I am Kryon of Magnetic Service. Once again we discuss with you that the magnetics are changing and not in a simple way. It's not in a way that your science will see, but a profound one that affects your very DNA. It is the end of what you would call the adventure. It is the beginning of what we would call the grand adventure. This channelling will be packed full of information that some of you have heard before and some have not.
My partner has been giving these messages for 22 years so that we could sit here together now and talk about possibilities. I wish to give you yet again the history of Earth and the history of humanity in a simple way that is not complex. It will be something that you can see in a capsulated form, a condensed form, and you will understand it better.
Thirteen billion years ago, all of this began. My partner told you today that the Cave of Creation existed when the earth was formed. It is a quantum event. It [the Cave of Creation] was there. You were there. I [Kryon] was there. We watched the earth form and we saw the potentials begin to exist. And here, dear ones, is information you really need to know: You didn't sit around just watching this planet develop. How do I say this to you? Don't you find it odd that all of Human civilization has seemingly happened in the last moment of Earth's existence? All of those billions of years, the development of life on Earth, the many times life started and stopped, yet Humans were not here. Don't you find it odd that your development was at the last possible moment of this? Large mammals were here millions of years ago, but you were not. Your science does not see this as odd, for they have nothing to compare it to. Instead, they just look at it as the way things took place. We call it planned synchronicity.
In order for me to give you this information properly, I have to give you yet again the creation story. You weren't just watching back then. Every single one of you was participating somewhere else. This is not the first planet you have been on, but then you knew that, didn't you?
However, this information about other existence is not in your current Akashic history, for the DNA Akash is Earth-based only. So any remembrance is supposition and intuition and that which you would get from the Higher-Self and not your DNA. Your DNA is Earth-based DNA with one change, and that is where we get into the creation story yet again.
The Overview
Now let me take you back only a billion years. You are in this galaxy back then, and we admonish you not to look out of this galaxy for any of your history. Each galaxy has its own spiritual plan and that affects each galaxy's physics. That is why science is able to see different kinds of physics in the Universe and they don't understand why. Stay in your galaxy for this examination. At this point, if I told you that consciousness defines physics, you might not understand. So let's just leave it at that.
Let me take you to a planet that is going through what you're going through. Four billion years ago, yours was simply cooling off. Life hadn't really begun as you know it. Oh, the seeds were there, but that's all. Life as you know it really hadn't begun at all. But other places in the galaxy, there were already sophisticated groups taking hold that were Humanoid – Human types. They look like you, for this is the plan. That was four billion years ago when life began on their planet, very different than your time line.
A billion years ago, they went through a change and they went through a shift, and they had free choice. Back then, they were the only planet that did in their time, and eventually they went through a metamorphosis of consciousness.
Exponentially it seemed they changed, and it took only a thousand years to go from full corporeal to an enlightened form. Only a thousand years and they became mostly quantum thinkers. Life was divine and defined separately and differently for them, for they had discovered the quantum parts of life within them. Everything changed. They didn't die, and according to the plan, at a certain point in time in their futures, they would then "seed" another planet with their evolved DNA. When that planet was ready, they would seed their knowledge of light and dark and divine intuition, and so they did so, on a planet very far from yours. It was a planet in the Seven Sisters constellation that became what you now know as the home of the Pleiadians. This, then, was the beginning of the Pleiadian civilization. That is how the Pleiadians started, from others who seeded them with the DNA of awareness.
Millions of years later, you had Humanoid forms moving into ascension within the Seven Sisters. I'm giving you the history of the galaxy, not the history of life. It's the history of divinity, all being affected by the center and all in an entangled quantum state. All this was with free choice.
Your Story
Several hundred thousand years ago, Humans began to form into the Human that you recognize today. That's just yesterday. Don't confuse this with Human development. You have had that going on for a very long time. But the DNA that is within your body is not the DNA that developed naturally on the planet. Yours is outside of the system of Earth-based evolutionary processes, and the scientists are starting to see this. The "missing link" that they speak of is not Human.
So again, we tell you that the ones who came to help seed you approximately 100,000 to 200,000 Earth years ago were the Pleiadians who had gone into graduate status and who had changed consciousness. They had become quantum with free choice, and you have parts of their DNA within you.
New information for you: The seeding process was not a one-time event. This is why we give you these large sections of time where the Pleiadians worked with you. It was done over time and in many places. It was not all simultaneous, and this was for reasons that will remain unknown to you for now, but will later explain why you will find other Human types that now are extinct. Now you only have one Human type, and that is counterintuitive to all mammal development on the planet. This was a design, and it took more than 100,000 years to create this for humanity as you know it.
It's your Human bias that has the creation story of the knowledge of light and dark being given to Humans in one day in a garden involving a talking snake and other mythology. Spiritual logic should tell you that these stories are simply metaphors of a real truth, that indeed there was a major shift of consciousness, but over a longer period of time and not instantly. The same mythology has the earth created in seven days. However, this only represents a numerological truth [7 is the number of divinity], meaning that there was a divine design in the creation of the planet. It's time to start using spiritual logic within the teachings you have about spiritual history, for the revelations will be wonderful and lead to fuller understanding.
Now, what really is in your DNA? It's the Pleiadians' code, and it's the ones before them, and even the ones before them. You can't remember it, for that is not the set-up. The system is that your Akashic record is only from Earth, but your "divine remembrance" will take you back to the beginning, where system after system after system created that which you see as the divinity within the galaxy and the Universe.
Who are they? They're your "divine" parents. They're the seed divinity in you and they visit here. They're not all Pleiadians, did you know that? Instead, they're from all over the galaxy. You see, they also represent the seeds of the Pleiadians, and they keep you safe. You wouldn't have it any other way, would you? "Safe from what?" you might ask.
The Bubble of Safety
Your Universe is teeming with life. Only a relative few planets over millions of years have made it to a place where they have "creator DNA" in their corporeal bodies. Some were seeded and never made it. Some are now dead. Some are technically advanced, but have no spark of divinity at all. So while a planet is "deciding," it is kept safe from other life that might interfere.
You're surrounded by divine beings who keep you safe and will continue while this planet of only free choice – the only one at the moment – makes its decision. You're turning the corner of consciousness and they all know it, for they've all been through it and they remember it. Oh dear ones, consciousness is volatile! You've seen it change so slowly, but it's about to change faster. It's not going to take generations and generations as in the past. Instead, you're going to see real-time changes. Humans won't wait to have children for them to grow up and have children.
Keeping you safe is done quantumly and at a 3D distance. But you have to ask the question, "With all this life in the galaxy and how old they are [potential for advanced science and travel], why don't the ETs just land and announce themselves? They have been here for hundreds of years!" The answer is proof of what we say. They know that you are "hands off" and they only come and go with marginal disturbance to Earth.
Faster Consciousness Shift
You think science has gone fast in the last 100 years? Watch what happens with a consciousness shift. The old energy on the planet is going to fight to the death. Many will check out. That is to say that many will die who cannot cross the bridge of consciousness. As the earth takes on a new energy, the old energy will not seem appropriate. Human nature has shifted greatly in the last centuries. You see that, do you not? How many of you are saying, "Well, after lunch we're going to sacrifice a virgin to the volcano?" You laugh and say, "Well Kryon, that's something they did in the old ages." No it isn't! In terms of a civilization timeline, it's something you did yesterday. But you're not doing it today, are you? So how do you see that? What is your perception of that specific procedure? You would say, "It's barbaric, unconscionable, out of integrity of Human Beings, and no longer acceptable."
How many years ago did a technically advanced civilization on your planet gather and cheer to watch Humans be devoured by animals or fight to the death? Measure the time and you will realize that it wasn't that long ago. Their theatres are still standing! So, how do you feel about that?
There's going to come a time when you look at this planet and war will be exactly like these examples. The idea of killing another Human Being for any reason will seem barbaric and not appropriate for any Human to do. Many will laugh at this, since they will say, "That's naive, Kryon. It's Human nature, and it's a survival instinct." That's what's going to change, dear ones. You are about to experience a quantum renaissance of thinking. This is difficult to explain, but Human Beings are missing something that's intrinsic, something that should be there and you're not even aware of it. It's missing, but you don't know it since you never have had it.New Intuitive Inheritance
Let me point something out. Those of you who know about the animal kingdom stand amazed at something called "animal instinct." A prairie mammal will drop a baby and that calf will come out of its mother aware. Within hours, it will be running with the herd. It will instinctively know who its enemies are, what plants are poisonous, and where the water is. It even knows the "language" of the herd. Don't you find that interesting? The Human child has zero instinct, except where to find immediate milk, and has to learn everything from nothing. It must learn how to eat, how to hold things, where the danger is, and language! Humans come out with nothing and they start over – every single time. You don't know this is odd, since it's all you ever had. You will say that that's because of the complexity of the Human brain. No, it isn't! It's because you weren't ready for it to be any different, and this is what's changing.
I want you to envision something with me. A Human baby is born and it knows everything at an instinct level. It's walking and talking within two years; it has wisdom and it doesn't have to be taught everything. It learns to read and see languages within months because it has what we would call quantum Human instinct. This baby has something that you don't even recognize you should have!
Now, tell me, if this happens can you see what might happen to the Human race? Exponential advancement in wisdom. What the parents have learned will pass to the child at birth, more than Akashic inheritance or chemical inheritance. This will be the inheritance of wisdom and instinct. And we've never talked about that until now. But we will again.
It's a quantum event. The creation story had you seeded by the Pleiadians more than 100,000 years ago. That's who they are, for they went through this. They have the same attributes of their history that you do, yours. Did you know that the creation stories on your planets are all similar? Even your major religions have a spiritual event taking place in your history, where Human Beings who look just like you received the knowledge of God. Notice: It's not ones who are cavemen, but instead ones who look just like you [modern Humans]. In your religions, it took place in a metaphoric garden, which is the earth, and Humans were given the knowledge of polarity [light and dark]. That's what the Pleiadians did all over the earth.
The Lemurian energy is the one seed-group that was totally isolated. You might even say it's the one where the Pleiadians came first. Because Lemuria was a mountain island [Hawaii], it survived in a form that was purer than others. Even the most remote groups on the earth had room to spread out [land], and that created variety of thought. But Lemuria was the same for thousands of years, making it one of the most long-lived civilizations in history and almost totally lost to science. We have given you their history before.
Therefore, the Lemurians carry the oldest Akash for an old soul and part of the system of spiritual seeding back then was that it was an avenue for only new souls to come in. Only a few of the Lemurian priests had a past-life in Lemuria, and most were women. Almost all the Lemurians were new to the planet. This was a major Earth-soul creating process, which is only now having results.
Dear ones, this was your fifth time to work the "enlightenment puzzle." You had four other opportunities that didn't get past this stage. However, this one has a potential that will survive. It's 2012 and the energy of it coordinates with the Galactic Alignment. This time fractal was seen as a major potential and even the prophecies of the ancients saw you going through this. Now you are beginning to do it. Even 50 years ago, this potential was not solid, for your fifth time might have been your last, for the old energy is strong and the idea of Humans destroying everything was a real possibility. Those who read this know what I'm talking about. Now even that has changed, if you noticed.
The Future
Some have asked, "Well Kryon, what is the future going to be like? What kinds of science will we have? If this is all true about our evolvement, what can we expect?"
I want to go back to your great grandparents for a moment. How would you explain the Internet to them when they had no concept of the computer? How do you explain a fast car to someone who has not invented the wheel? What is a runway-control system used for when there is no Human flight yet?
I cannot explain what's coming, since you do not have the concepts of what will happen in between now and then. Imagine information that occurs where if one knows it, all know it. Can you imagine quantum instinct? What is learned by one Human Being is learned instantly by all. If you can even start to imagine such a thing, you have an inkling of what is coming. It doesn't change choice. It changes wisdom.
There'll come a time when physics and science meld with consciousness. It is then that you'll realize that what the Creator gave you comes in a perfect package. It's not in boxes where Humans separate it and study in different buildings, but one that comes together where all things relate and fit nicely inside a puzzle of energy.
It may take a thousand years, as it did to the ones who seeded the Pleiadians and those who seeded the ones before them. We speak in odd terms here, using Earth years. We also have not defined how long "crossing the bridge to enlightenment" is or how long "crossing the bridge to quantum existence" is. But in general, the civilizations of the past took 1,000 Earth years to go from old energy to new. But it took many times that to go to a quantum corporeal existence. Don't try to figure it all out, since your process may be faster or slower. We just give you this information to show you that it's slower than you like. But this is the beginning.
You Are Your Own Seeds
The earth was waiting for you. The cave of creation, the crystals, were all ready for you. The potentials of each life were there, for your soul energy was upon them. But make no mistake, your soul energy was invested in the ones who seeded you and in the ones who seeded them. They are you. This is confusing in 3D, for many of them are still watching you, but since you have part of their quantum DNA, part of you is still with them. Don't try to analyze this quite yet.
You didn't sit around watching the earth being created, dear ones. You were busy doing on other planets what you are doing here. There is no remembrance of that, only potential instinct. The ones who sit in the room and who listen to my voice or read these words have all gone through this before.
So, dear Human Being, in closing I say these things to you: You sit in a perfect place. You sit next to others who have been through what you've been through. It is time to solve the petty problems of humanity, of walking from place to place with aches and pains of your body. It's time to solve the uncertainties of the psychology [mental anguish], for these things will not serve you. You're turning a corner, a slow one to some, that will one day be looked at as the major shift of humanity for the earth. This is the beginning of it.
Let me take you forward 100 to 200 years: Let's sit in a room together. You're going to look different. Things will be very different, but you'll be here because that's what you do. [This is Kryon's description of you in your next lifetime or beyond.] Sometimes the Human Being asks, "How many lifetimes do I have left?" [Kryon smile] You should instead be asking, "How many Earth-lifetimes do I have left?" [Kryon bigger smile]. How many times can you do this, dear ones?
The system's goal is to raise the vibration of the galaxy and be surrounded by planets that have ascended and passed the energy to one another. Soon you'll do the same for others and, you guessed it, you'll do it again there. Right now, life is beginning on another planet far from here. Another Cave of Creation is starting to be formed. It's getting ready for you! [Kryon laugh] Are you tired yet? Dear family, you are eternal and there's a system, and it's beautiful. When you are not here, you understand it fully and participate without question.
You stand at a point of change. Go from this place and understand the profundity of this time. Pay attention to the changes in the sky for they have been foretold [the weather]. Do not fear the change before you.
You're never alone.
And so it is.

The New York Times had more on Stogo's closure... the vegan ice cream store closed for good last night after some four years in business.
Stogo, which is on Second Avenue, couldn't pay October's rent when it came due, but the month brought higher-than-expected sales. "We were starting to say, 'O.K., we can probably pay this and that,'" [co-owner Junie] Ishimori said. "Then Sandy hit."
Stogo lost power for days. Its ice cream spoiled, and even when power returned, it couldn't reopen until it had replenished its stock. Ms. Ishimori estimated the store lost $6,000 in inventory and $6,000 in sales. "That's a make-it-or-break-it number," she said.
Stogo is now two months behind on rent. A spokeswoman for Beach Lane Management, which owns the building, declined to comment.
Ms. Ishimori had planned fund-raisers to finance a move to a cheaper location. But after the storm, she said, "it just felt frivolous asking people for money when people were homeless."
DNAinfo's Serena Solomon first reported on the closure this past Wednesday. Our post to that link prompted 28 comments, among them:
Adam K. said...
@Price is no object: A prospective-tenant strike on pricey commercial rents wouldn't force down rent prices; it would create a lot of empty storefronts, which aren't good for anybody.
Not all new neighborhood businesses are started by suckers for suckers. And not all (though surely some) businesses that close are forced out by their landlords in bids to trade them for deeper-pocketed tenants. Most businesses, sadly, will peter out on their own eventually.
I have a 2+ year old retail business in the neighborhood, and yes, my business would be stronger if my rent were lower. All the more reason that I should feel bummed that some of my neighbors might be boycotting it for no better reason than the fact that another (completely different) business used to have the same address.
Want to hang on to dwindling retail diversity in the neighborhood? Sick of chain stores, strip mall eateries, and banks? Me too. So along with your favorite neighborhood standbys, try dropping in every now and then on some small new businesses that are trying to make it in a tougher environment than ever.

A View Along The Way
Wow, your family room is gorgeous. I love the shelf and your number cushions and while red isn't my colour it's just the perfect accent in your room. I'm about to reveal my master bedroom and hope it can look as beautiful as this - with a bed instead of sofas though!
The Painted Hive
Where did you get your slipcovers? I think that is a great idea for my furniture! I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this room . . . your home is so beautiful . .. thank you for sharing your ideas.
I have been following your blog for almost a year now but for some reason never left a comment. I first came across your blog thru your Rate My Space page. You were my intro. to blogs and I have drawn a lot of inspiration from your posts. Can't imagine the amount of work it takes to come of with fresh posts time and again. I haven't been brave enough to start my own blog yet. Maybe someday. Just wanted to say that I love your spaces and I appreciate the posts you put out and the time it takes to put them together.

FDA has issued a draft guidance relating to electronic submissions. Guidance for Industry: Providing Submissions in Electronic Format—Summary Level Clinical Site Data for CDER's Inspection Planning is one in a series of guidance documents intended to assist sponsors and applicants making certain regulatory submissions to FDA in electronic format.
The draft guidance describes FDA's recommendation that applicants submit summary-level clinical-site datasets in a standardized electronic format. This guidance generally applies to submissions of summary-level clinical-site datasets for new drug applications (NDAs), biologics licensing applications (BLAs), and NDA and BLA supplemental applications containing new clinical-study reports that are submitted to FDA's Center for Drug Evaluation and Research (CDER). The purpose of the guidance is to assist applicants in the submission of a clinical dataset that describes and summarizes the characteristics and outcomes of clinical investigations at the level of the individual study site (summary-level clinical-site data). The summary-level clinical-site dataset is intended to facilitate the use of a risk-based approach for the timely identification of clinical investigator sites for on-site inspection by CDER during the review of marketing applications. The guidance refers to a number of technical specification documents and other resources. These technical specification documents and resources are available online to make them more accessible to applicants.

Do you know if there are statistics on how many languages Ubuntu supports (completely translated / partially translated)?
I've tried the following command:
apt-cache search language-pack | grep "base" | grep -v "GNOME" | grep -v "KDE" | grep -v "inkscape" | wc -l
which returned 140 results. But, I guess many of the translations are only partially done and not very good. So how do I find out more about high quality translations?

US privacy and computer security advocate Micah Lee describes himself, amongst other things, as "a staff technologist for EFF and the project maintainer of HTTPS Everywhere."
In other words, he has a healthily holistic view of the use of encryption on the internet.
So it wasn't surprising, earlier this week, to see him post a suggestion to the Android Open Source Project about security.
His suggestion was entitled "Backup and restore" should offer encrypted backups:
The "Back up my data" option in Android is very convenient. However it means sending a lot of private information, including passwords, in plaintext to Google. This information is vulnerable to government requests for data.
If you're an Android user, the option he's talking about is the Backup & reset page in Settings:
In the screenshot above, the feature is turned off.
Most users, however, probably have it enabled because it is, as Micah points out, very convenient.
The idea is that if you lose your device, or merely feel the need to reflash it, you can much more quickly get back to where you were.
Instead of just reinstalling your favourite apps and starting afresh, your new device will know how to get online straight away, how to get into your Twitter account, and how many Angry Birds levels you haven't conquered yet.
Clearly, Google keeps a raft of configuration data on your behalf, because if you have the option enabled and then decide to turn it off you get this dialog:
So how risky is this option?
It's not risky in the sense, for example, of the recent flaw in the Tumblr app on iOS.
There, Tumblr forgot to secure the actual transmission of personally identifiable information (PII), such as your password.
That meant that crooks at a coffee shop, for example, might easily be able to sniff out and extract your Tumblr password.
The Android issue is more subtle: the data is encrypted in transit, and Google (for all we know) probably stores it encrypted at the other end.
But it's not encrypted in the sense of being inaccessible to anyone except you.
That's obvious because, as a comment on Micah's abovementioned posting pointed out, you can recover your data from Google even after you've wiped (or lost) your device, or changed your Google account password.
In other words, Google can unilaterally recover the plaintext of your Wi-Fi passwords, precisely so it can return those passwords to you quickly and conveniently even if you forget your device password and have to start over.
That's just the sort of convenience which many users will trade against security.
So, let's say some Three Letter Agency were to use some prismatic techqniue to acquire those Wi-Fi passwords from Google.
Is that likely? If so, would it be bad?
I have to say that it probably would be, if only because the list of Wi-Fi networks and passwords on your device is most likely much more extensive than just your own network in your own home.
You'd effectively be helping to built a list of passwords to go with the already-existing and extensive maps of Wi-Fi access points built up over years, both by Google and others.
You probably don't want to help anyone, friend or foe, to do that.
The solution is to encrypt everything "for your eyes only" before you back it up anywhere, especially into the cloud.
And the problem with that is it's not quite as convenient, not least because there's no password-free way to recover that backed-up data, for example if you forget your password.
That's the dilemma we all face.
Are you prepared to accept a digital equivalent of locking your keys in the car forever (for example if you forget your full-disk encryption password and didn't save the recovery key)?
Or would you prefer to have what amounts to a backdoor to your own, or worse still, to other people's, personal information?
What do you think? Let us know in the comments below…

Findings from IGNITE, a large, multinational (China, Russia, Indonesia, Taiwan, Singapore, Thailand, Australia, South Korea and Malaysia), diagnostic, non-comparative, interventional study, were presented by lead investigator Dr Baohui Han, Pulmonary Department, Shanghai Chest Hospital, Shanghai, China during the New Treatment Avenues Proffered Papers session at the European Lung Cancer Conference, 15-18 April 2015 in Geneva, Switzerland.
Enrollment was carried out in 90 centres and included 3382 patients with advanced non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) of both adenocarcinoma (ADC) and non-ADC histology. Patients were chemotherapy naive, and had local and/or metastatic NSCLC that was either newly diagnosed or represented recurrent disease after resection. All patients were evaluated as ineligible for curative treatment.
The primary endpoint of IGNITE was the determination of EGFR mutation frequency by locally tested samples. Secondary endpoints included the concordance of EGFR mutation status between matched tissue/cytology and plasma, specifically circulating-free tumour-derived DNA, correlation between mutation status and demographic/disease status, treatment decisions, and EGFR testing practices.
EGFR mutation frequency varies by country, sample type, and histology
Tissue and/or cytology were evaluable in 2291 Asian and 924 Russia patients and plasma was evaluable in 1753 Asian and 941 Russian patients, within a median test turnaround of 6 and 9 days, respectively.
Among the Asian patient population the EGFR mutation frequency by tissue/cytology was 49% in ADC, 14% in non-ADC and 10% in squamous cell carcinoma, whereas in the Russian population the EGFR mutation frequency was 18% in ADC, 4% in non-ADC, and 4% in squamous cell carcinoma. The EGFR mutation frequency was lower in plasma with an overall frequency of 22% in ADC and 7% in non-ADC samples.
The most frequently observed mutation overall was Exon 19 deletion only (49% Asia Pacific, 59% Russia), followed by L858R only (42% Asia Pacific, 25% Russia), Exon 20 insertions only (2% Asia Pacific, 0% Russia), L861Q only, and G719X (both ≤1% overall).
Mutation status concordance could be determined in 2581 matched samples. EGFR mutation status concordance data for tumour vs. plasma showed that sensitivity (50% vs. 30%) and positive predictive value (93% vs. 39%) were higher in Asia Pacific vs. Russia, respectively.
EGFR mutation status was the largest driver of treatment choice in both patients with mutation-positive (50%/47% in Asia Pacific/Russia) and mutation-negative (38%/43% in Asia Pacific/Russia) NSCLC. Following EGFR mutation testing, the most common first-line treatment overall for patients with EGFR mutation-positive NSCLC was gefitinib (36%), and for patients with EGFR mutation-negative NSCLC was cisplatin (41%); however, this pattern differed between Asia Pacific and Russia. Use of tyrosine kinase inhibitors in patients with EGFR mutation-positive NSCLC varied widely within AsiaPacific, ranging from 92% in Taiwan to 0% in Thailand.
EGFR mutation frequency significantly associates with specific patient demographics and diagnoses
ADC and never-smoker status significantly associated with the mutation frequency in the overall population (both, tissue/cytology and plasma status, p < 0.0001). In the Asian versus the Russian cohort (both, p < 0.0001), greater number of metastatic organs (tissue/cytology p = 0.0909 and plasma p < 0.0001), female gender (tissue/cytology only p = 0.0075) and age 65 years or greater (plasma only; p = 0.0009) significantly associated with EGFR mutation frequency.
Immunohistochemistry analyses showed that 10% of TTF-1-negative patient samples were EGFR mutation-positive. Similarly, 44% of TTF-1-positive patient samples were EGFR mutation-positive.
Dr Wilfried Eberhardt of the West German Cancer Centre in Essen, who discussed the results, said that there is still little known about the worldwide epidemiology of EGFR mutations in lung cancer patients. Until now, several national groups have investigated the prevalence of EGFR mutations in large patient subsets. In general, EGFR mutation rate in Asian patients was considerably higher than that in non-Asians.
This study looked at the prevalence of EGFR mutations in Asia and Russia. The results of nearly 50% of EGFR mutations in patients with lung adenocarcinoma in Asia and about 20% EGFR mutated adenocarcinoma in Russia points to specific selection factors. So, these data are probably not representative for the whole population in Asia and Russia.
Data from Russia include more stage IIIA and IIIB patients that represent different patient subsets. Moving EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) therapy into patient groups with early and locally advanced NSCLC may be more difficult than initially thought.
Dr Eberhardt said that only a bit more than one third of the patients received EGFR TKI in the first-line setting. These data seem realistic for the everyday practice setting.
With broader testing frequencies for EGFR mutations, epidemiological and prevalence data for EGFR mutations should become more precise.
Dr Han concluded that these data from chemotherapy-naive patients with advanced NSCLC in the 'real world' suggest that EGFR mutation frequency is higher in patients with ADC versus non-ADC histology. However, he cautioned that mutations in the non-ADC population were seen at a frequency that supports mutation testing for all patients.

Biofuels from algae pose sustainability concern
October 25, 2012, Washington, DC — Scaling up the production of biofuels made from algae to meet at least 5 percent -- approximately 39 billion liters -- of U.S. transportation fuel needs would place unsustainable demands on energy, water, and nutrients, says a new report from the National Research Council.
October 25, 2012 By National Research Council
However, these concerns are not a definitive barrier for future production, and innovations that would require research and development could help realize algal biofuels' full potential.
Biofuels derived from algae and cyanobacteria are possible alternatives to petroleum-based fuels and could help the U.S. meet its energy security needs and reduce greenhouse gas emissions, such as carbon dioxide (CO2). Algal biofuels offer potential advantages over biofuels made from land plants, including algae's ability to grow on non-croplands in cultivation ponds of freshwater, salt water, or wastewater. The number of companies developing algal biofuels has been increasing, and several oil companies are investing in them. Given these and other interests, the National Research Council was asked to identify sustainability issues associated with large-scale development of algal biofuels.
The committee that wrote the report said that concerns related to large-scale algal biofuel development differ depending on the pathways used to produce the fuels. Producing fuels from algae could be done in many ways, including cultivating freshwater or saltwater algae, growing algae in closed photobioreactors or open-pond systems, processing the oils produced by microalgae, or refining all parts of macroalgae. The committee's sustainability analysis focused on pathways that to date have received active attention. Most of the current development involves growing selected strains of algae in open ponds or closed photobioreactors using various water sources, collecting and extracting the oil from algae or collecting fuel precursors secreted by algae, and then processing the oil into fuel.
The committee pointed out several high-level concerns for large-scale development of algal biofuel, including the relatively large quantity of water required for algae cultivation; magnitude of nutrients, such as nitrogen, phosphorus, and CO2, needed for cultivation; amount of land area necessary to contain the ponds that grow the algae; and uncertainties in greenhouse gas emissions over the production life cycle. Moreover, the algal biofuel energy return on investment would have to be high, meaning more energy would have to be produced from the biofuels than what is required to cultivate algae and convert them to fuels.
The committee found that to produce the amount of algal biofuel equivalent to 1 liter of gasoline, between 3.15 liters to 3,650 liters of freshwater is required, depending on the production pathway. Replenishing water lost from evaporation in growing systems is a key driver for use of freshwater in production, the committee said. In addition, water use could be a serious concern in an algal biofuel production system that uses freshwater without recycling the "harvest" water.
To produce 39 billion liters of algal biofuels, 6 million to 15 million metric tons of nitrogen and 1 million to 2 million metric tons of phosphorus would be needed each year if the nutrients are not recycled, the report says. These requirements represent 44 percent to 107 percent of the total nitrogen use and 20 percent to 51 percent of the total phosphorus use in the U.S. However, recycling nutrients or utilizing wastewater from agricultural or municipal sources could reduce nutrient and energy use, the committee said.
Another resource that could limit the amount of algal biofuels produced is land area and the number of suitable and available sites for algae to grow. Appropriate topography, climate, proximity to water supplies — whether freshwater, inland saline water, marine water, or wastewater — and proximity to nutrient supplies would have to be matched carefully to ensure successful and sustainable fuel production and avoid costs and energy consumption for transporting those resources to cultivation facilities. If the suitable sites for growing algae are near urban or suburban centers or coastal recreation areas, the price of those lands could be prohibitive. A national assessment of land requirements for algae cultivation that takes into account various concerns is needed to inform the potential amount of algal biofuels that could be produced economically in the U.S.
One of the primary motivations for using alternative fuels for transportation is reducing greenhouse gas emissions. However, estimates of greenhouse gas emissions over the life cycle of algal biofuel production span a wide range; some studies suggest that algal biofuel production generates less greenhouse gas emissions than petroleum-based fuels while other studies suggest the opposite. These emissions depend on many factors in the production process, including the amount of energy needed to dewater and harvest algae and the electricity sources used.
The committee emphasized that the crucial aspects to sustainable development are positioning algal growth ponds close to water and nutrient resources and recycling essential resources. With proper management and good engineering designs, other environmental effects could be avoided, the committee said. Examples include releasing harvest water in other bodies of water and creating algal blooms and allowing harvest water to seep into ground water.
For algal biofuels to contribute a significant amount of fuels for transportation in the future, the committee said, research and development would be needed to improve algal strains, test additional strains for desired characteristics, advance the materials and methods for growing and processing algae into fuels, and reduce the energy requirements for multiple stages of production. To aid the U.S. Department of Energy in its decision-making process regarding sustainable algal biofuel development, the committee proposed a framework that includes an assessment of sustainability throughout the supply chain, a cumulative impact analysis of resource use or environmental effects, and cost-benefit analyses.
The report was sponsored by the U.S. Department of Energy. The National Academy of Sciences, National Academy of Engineering, Institute of Medicine, and National Research Council make up the National Academies. They are private and independent nonprofit institutions that provide science, technology, and health policy advice under an 1863 congressional charter. Panel members, who serve pro bono as volunteers, are chosen by the Academies for each study based on their expertise and experience and must satisfy the Academies' conflict-of-interest standards. The resulting consensus reports undergo external peer review before completion.

Starters take on prospects in intrasquad game
GLENDALE, Ariz. -- For those who want a full and complete account of White Sox Spring Training results, Team 1 claimed a 4-3 victory over Team 2 during a 5 1/2 inning intrasquad game Thursday afternoon. Team 1 featured the White Sox projected starting lineup, aside from Brent Morel at third base and Michael Blanke at designated hitter.
Team 2 featured top prospects, such as Carlos Sanchez, Jared Mitchell and Trayce Thompson. Morel delivered a run-scoring double, while Blake Tekotte drove home another run with a triple during a game that featured more than a few miscues.
"That's why you have an intrasquad game," White Sox manager Robin Ventura said. "There were portions that were sloppy.
"For me, it's good you get that out of the way now so that guys wake up a little bit and you don't have that in your first game. It's good to actually have a semblance of in-game action.
"More just see them in a game situation. There are portions that are sloppy that you can clean up," Ventura said. "Everything you talk about when you're doing this thing where you do fundamentals, it always comes back a wash in that first intrasquad game, so it's good."
Andre Rienzo, who will play for Team Brazil in the World Baseball Classic and start Game 1 against Japan in Pool A competition, threw two solid innings. He struck out Dayan Viciedo swinging and Tyler Flowers looking.

Roughly one out of three kids screened for high cholesterol between the ages of 9 and 11 has borderline or high cholesterol, potentially placing them at greater risk for future cardiovascular disease, according to research to be presented at the American College of Cardiology's 63rd Annual Scientific Session.
In one of the largest studies of outpatient pediatric clinic visits to date, researchers examined the medical records of 12,712 children who had screening for cholesterol levels as part of a routine physical exam within the Texas Children's Pediatrics Associates clinics, the nation's largest pediatric primary care organization. Of these, 4,709, or 30 percent, had borderline or elevated total cholesterol as defined by the National Cholesterol Education Program.
"The sheer number of kids with abnormal lipid profiles provides further evidence that this is a population that needs attention and could potentially benefit from treatment," said Thomas Seery, M.D., pediatric cardiologist at Texas Children's Hospital, assistant professor of Pediatrics at Baylor College of Medicine, and the lead investigator of the study. "But we can only intervene if we diagnose the problem."
While cardiovascular disease in children is rare, the presence of certain risk factors in childhood can increase the chances of developing heart disease as an adult. Previous studies have demonstrated that atherosclerosis — a hardening and narrowing of the arteries — can begin in childhood.
"We know that higher levels of, and cumulative exposure to, high cholesterol is associated with the development and severity of atherosclerosis," Seery said. "If we can identify and work to lower cholesterol in children, we can potentially make a positive impact by stalling vascular changes and reducing the chances of future disease." He said that this is especially important amid the growing obesity epidemic, which is resulting in a larger population of children with dyslipidemia, an abnormal amount of cholesterol or fats in the blood.
In this study, researchers also found that boys were more likely than girls to have elevated total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein (LDL), or "bad" cholesterol, and triglycerides, while girls had lower high-density lipoprotein (HDL) or "good" cholesterol. Obese children were more likely to have elevated total cholesterol, LDL and triglycerides, with lower HDL in comparison to non-obese children. Average total cholesterol, LDL, non-HDL and HDL were all within the normal range, 162 mg/dL, 92 mg/dL, 113 mg/dL and 52 mg/dL, respectively; mean triglycerides were borderline or abnormal (103 mg/dL). Similar to a recent, unrelated study of adult minority groups, 9- to 11-year-old Hispanic children in this study were more likely to have elevated triglycerides and lower HDL when compared to non-Hispanics.
The authors said they hope their findings will give added weight to guidelines sponsored by the National Heart Lung and Blood Institute and endorsed by the American Academy of Pediatrics that call for universal cholesterol screening of children between the ages of 9 and 11 years and, again between 17 and 21 years of age. Despite these recommendations, some practitioners remain hesitant.
"There is concern by some in the medical community that children will be started on medication unnecessarily," Seery said, emphasizing that adopting a healthy diet and engaging in routine physical activity are first-line therapies for children with abnormal cholesterol levels.
He adds that cholesterol-lowering medications are typically needed in one to two percent of children with dyslipidemia, primarily in those with very high cholesterol resulting from a genetic lipoprotein disorder. Genetic lipoprotein disorders, such as familial hypercholesterolemia, result in very high cholesterol levels that can be detected in childhood but are felt to be underdiagnosed, he said.
"Kids need to have their cholesterol panel checked at some point during this timeframe [9 to 11 years old]," Seery said. "In doing so, it presents the perfect opportunity for clinicians and parents to discuss the importance of healthy lifestyle choices on cardiovascular health. Our findings give a compelling reason to screen all kids' blood cholesterol."
Because the universal pediatric screening recommendations rolled out at the end of 2011, during the second year of this study, Seery said a potential study limitation is that it is unknown if testing was ordered in a universal manner or selectively based upon individual risk factors or a family history of premature cardiac disease. Recent studies have demonstrated that screening based on family history alone risks missing a large number of children who have dyslipidemia. In addition, the study population was limited to the region in and around Houston.
Further research is needed in order to determine the rate at which primary care providers are following the guidelines since the roll out in 2011, Seery said.
