NEW YORK, Oct. 31, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Intra-Cellular Therapies, Inc. (NASDAQ:ITCI) today announced presentation (in oral and poster forms) of results from its clinical development program in schizophrenia that has replicated the efficacy of ITI-007 60 mg in two studies and found it to be safe and well tolerated in three large, well-controlled clinical trials: ITI-007-005, ITI-007-301 and ITI-007-302. Results from these trials were presented at the CNS Summit 2016 Annual Conference, held in Boca Raton, Florida October 27-30.
Across all three trials, ITI-007 60 mg improved symptoms of schizophrenia with a similar trajectory and magnitude of improvement from baseline to endpoint on the primary efficacy measure, the PANSS total score. These robust improvements in psychotic symptoms were statistically significant versus placebo in Studies '005 and '301 but not in Study '302 due in part to an unusually high placebo response. In all three of these studies, ITI-007 was well-tolerated and exhibited a safety profile similar to placebo. In addition, in the studies where risperidone was used as the active control (Studies '005 and '302), ITI-007 was statistically significantly better than risperidone on key safety and tolerability parameters. The Company believes that the two large, well-controlled positive studies ('005 & '301) along with supportive findings from the third study ('302) collectively provide evidence of the efficacy and safety of ITI-007 for the treatment of schizophrenia.
The Company's CNS summit poster presentation can be found on our website, available here. The Company will present additional analyses from the ITI-007 schizophrenia program at future scientific conferences.
"We are excited that our schizophrenia clinical development program to date has replicated the efficacy of ITI-007 60 mg in two large well-controlled studies and we are encouraged that these data and additional data from study '302, again describing a placebo-like safety profile with clinical advantages over risperidone, have been so well-received by the medical community at CNS Summit. We look forward to advancing this new treatment option for patients and to discussing the totality of these data with the FDA," said Dr. Sharon Mates, Chairman and CEO of ITCI.
About Schizophrenia
Schizophrenia is a disabling and chronic mental illness affecting over 1% of the world's population. Schizophrenia is characterized by multiple symptoms during an acute phase of the disorder that can include so-called "positive" symptoms, such as hearing voices, grandiose beliefs and suspiciousness or paranoia. These symptoms can be accompanied by additional, harder-to-treat symptoms, such as social withdrawal, blunted emotional response and speech deficits, collectively referred to as "negative" symptoms, difficulty concentrating and disorganized thoughts, or cognitive impairment, depression and insomnia. Such residual symptoms often persist even after the acute positive symptoms subside, and contribute substantially to the social and employment disability associated with schizophrenia. Current antipsychotic medications provide some relief for the symptoms associated with the acute phase of the disorder, but they do not effectively treat the residual phase symptoms associated with chronic schizophrenia. Currently available medications used to treat acute schizophrenia are limited in their use due to side effects that can include movement disorders, weight gain, metabolic disturbances, and cardiovascular disorders. There is an unmet medical need for new therapies.
About ITI-007
ITI-007 is our lead drug development candidate with mechanisms of action that, we believe, have the potential to yield a first-in-class therapy for multiple therapeutic indications. In our pre-clinical and clinical trials to date, ITI-007 combines potent serotonin 5-HT2A receptor antagonism, dopamine receptor phosphoprotein modulation (DPPM), glutamatergic modulation, and serotonin reuptake inhibition into a single drug candidate for the treatment of acute and residual schizophrenia, as well as for the treatment of bipolar disorder, including bipolar depression, and the treatment of agitation associated with dementia, including Alzheimer's disease. At dopamine D2 receptors, ITI-007 has been demonstrated to have dual properties and to act as both a post-synaptic antagonist and a pre-synaptic partial agonist. ITI-007 has also been demonstrated to have affinity for dopamine D1 receptors and indirectly stimulate phosphorylation of glutamatergic NMDA GluN2B receptors in a mesolimbic specific manner. We believe that this regional selectivity in brain areas thought to mediate the efficacy of antipsychotic drugs, together with serotonergic, glutamatergic, and dopaminergic interactions, may result in efficacy for a broad array of symptoms associated with schizophrenia and bipolar disorder with improved psychosocial function. The serotonin reuptake inhibition potentially allows for antidepressant activity in the treatment of schizoaffective disorder, co-morbid depression, and/or as a stand-alone treatment for major depressive disorder. We believe ITI-007 may also be useful for the treatment of other psychiatric and neurodegenerative disorders, particularly behavioral disturbances associated with dementia, autism, and other CNS diseases.
About Intra-Cellular Therapies

Broken Glass, LCD intact and not adhered to digitizer.
Somehow my iPhone 4 digitizer cracked and was not adhered to the LCD. Can I replace just the digitizer?
Here's a link to a photo of it on imgur
Is this a good question?
I ordered a digitizer on eBay on the cheap, replaced it myself. It was fine at first, and was fully functional in the beginning-but then it turned south. Due to the fact that the LCD and digitzer weren't adhered to each-other, there was a small space, probably about 2 or less cm. This resulted in the digitizer being raised a tad from the lcd, which was annoying because when you applied pressure, it was depressed into the lcd. Luckily, I was able to get it replaced by Apple. So while it worked temporarily, I would not recommend this in the long run.

The city's two largest utilities are offering residents assessments of their homes' energy use. Residents can schedule these inspections with either the Philadelphia Gas Works or PECO. The utilities will send employees to look over their homes, searching for drafts and inefficient equipment.
The assessments seem to be very similar, at least on paper. The cost of PGW's service, however, is $150 while PECO charges $50. Even a more thorough PECO assessment, which the electric utility calls an audit, is just $100.
PGW's assessment usually takes three to four hours, according to the gas company's spokesman, Barry O'Sullivan.
He said each "assessment/evaluation" includes inspections of a home's exterior and interior. PGW's contractors look at insulation, air leaks, heating and air conditioning equipment and water-heating equipment. He said the contractors use several technical and diagnostic tests to determine a home's overall energy performance.
Homeowners get detailed reports with a list of recommendations to improve energy efficiency and comfort along with the costs of the improvements.
There is a financing component to PGW's program. After getting their assessments, customers can apply for up to $3,500 in "Energysense home performance improvement rebates." Third-party financing is available, according to PGW, at 0.99 percent.
PECO has two types of energy inspections. According to spokesman Ben Armstrong, PECO's "smart house calls" started in June 2013.
For $50, a PECO rep will conduct an "energy assessment" of a house and provide the owner with a detailed report that shows where energy can be saved. At no additional cost, owners could receive energy-saving light bulbs and energy-saving power strips. Those who heat their water with electricity could be eligible for low-flow showerheads, and kitchen or bathroom aerators.
For $100, PECO will conduct an "energy audit" that includes everything in the assessment along with "a whole-house review that will diagnose energy loss due to air leakage," according to the utility's website. However, the energy audit is available only to customers whose primary heating source is from an electric heat pump, electric furnace or electric baseboards.
Asked why PECO's inspections are cheaper than PGW's, O'Sullivan said, "The typical energy assessment costs about $500, but different utility rebate programs have different discounted levels."
So, how a utility discounts from that figure is based on the funding available to a utility and on projected participation levels, he said.
"For instance, the funds we employ in discounting the assessments comes from the same funds we use to give rebates and grants," O'Sullivan stated in a March 20 email to the Northeast Times. "As such, our goal in determining the cost of the assessments was to balance the need to reduce energy assessment costs without significantly impacting the funds available for actual rebates and grants that go toward making real and lasting improvements to our customers' homes."
Armstrong said about 600 PECO customers have had assessments or audits so far. The electric company's coverage area is larger than PGW's. PECO is in the city as well as Bucks, Montgomery, Delaware, Chester and York counties.
PGW's and PECO's inspections usually are performed within a week or so of scheduling appointments.
To arrange a PGW inspection, call 215–764–5468.
For a PECO assessment or audit, call 1–888–573–2672. ••

Loose lips sink drafts, so don't expect Miami Dolphins vice president of football operations Mike Tannenbaum and general manager Chris Grier to reveal much leading up to next week's draft.
The Dolphins' executives will likely throw out a few smoke screens during Wednesday's mandatory pre-draft press conference. And that's the way they should handle it seeing as how secrecy and deception could provide the team an advantage during the draft.
Why reveal your cards when the NFL draft is a game within a game?
However, if you have a keen eye it isn't hard to see the hand the that the Dolphins have dealt themselves this offseason.
The vision for the 2017 season is to...

I seem to be doing lot of writing these days.
I write for:
- Two blogs,
- Two Facebook pages,
- A web site,
- Four twitter accounts,
- And a personal journal.
With so much writing it becomes important to understand the process of writing.
I, basically, centralise all my writing in Scrivener. The is a brilliant tool which is a mix between a brainstorming tool and a word processor. It splits the writing process into a capture part and a formatting part. Each can be done separately. I don't know how I would be so productive without it. I am writing this blog entry using the tool as we speak.
Using Scrivener
- Scrivener is ideal for long form writing. Over the last couple of years I have written two novels in it. Between them they amount to over 200,000 words. But each one loads in a fraction of a second and is easily navigable thanks to Scrivener's "binder" which makes creating, navigating and selecting items simple.
(Thanks to Become a Writer Today for the image)
- Scrivener is also useful for Blog Posts. Other - more advanced writers than me have written about using Scrivener for blogging here, and here, and here[1].
- But, by far the majority of the work I do on Scrivener is for script writing. I find that I can quite easily use the various pieces of functionality within Scrivener to assist me in the development of an idea, the creation of characters, the outlining of a story and - when all's said and done - the actual creation of the script.
Let me explain:
Scrivener and FountainScrivener is compatible with Fountain which is a markup language based in plain text. All this means is that by writing using a basic text editor (which comes with pretty much every computer tablet or phone), you can write anywhere. All you ned to know is a little bit of syntax relating to what you are trying to do. For example here's a fountain text file extract:
The front door opens to reveal Will and Josephine on the porch with their bags.
REVERSE to Will's mother Sandra (53), surprised and a little annoyed.
How did you get here?
We swam. The Atlantic, it's not that big really.
For those who know screenplay format you'll see that there's not a great deal of difference. What this does do, though, is allow you to just worry about the words on the page rather than the format of those pages. Fountain knows that when you put an ALL CAPS entry on its own line it is (usually) a character name. It knows that the next block of text must, therefore, be dialogue. By using these simple little markup tricks it is a very quick learning curve for Fountain.
But here's the real icing on the cake. You can write in Fountain and have Scrivener automatically synch your data to a Scrivener file for continued working on your laptop or Mac.
Let me repeat that: You can start on your Mac in Scrivener, synch the screenplay you are working on down to, say, your iPad, then continue working on it in Fountain while you are enjoying your cup of joe at a Seattle-based coffee chain. When you're fully caffeinated you can come back to your house and resynch the Fountain files back to Scrivener and continue working at home. All you need is something like Dropbox to act as the intermediary file location and you're done. No further additional software needed.
Once you are happy with whatever you are writing it is then possible to tell Scrivener to export your writing in the appropriate format for the material you are producing.
- For a blog it would be appropriate to export it in.html format so it can be dropped straight into your blogging software of choice.
- For a novel it would be good to export it either as an ebook so it can be read using a Kindle or similar
- For a script it would be good if it could be exported as a formatted PDF using the script settings recognised by the industry
- For a novel it would also be good if it could be exported to Word for transfer to an editor.
What is my writing process?I'm like William Goldman (Screenwriter). I just write the damn thing! I sit down and I work my way through the first draft as quickly as I can. Sometimes I get something that is reasonably respectable. Sometimes I get something which is crap. But in each are I find it easier to do my best work when I have something in front of me that I can review. As an example, the posts on this blog (especially those dating from the beginning of this year ) have all been written in 'vomit draft' form to start with. This article, for example, was done in a bing session in January. After that I spent time refining them over the months and creating something with a higher quality. That's how I work. Screenplays are similar. I write quickly - sometimes up to 30 pages per day. Sure, it's not always good stuff, but it does allow me the pleasure of having something I can read and critique.
"Writing is re-writing" is a saying that I have heard (and you have probably read) on many occasions. Never has that been truer than with me. Once I have my vomit draft complete I like to let it sit for a short while. For a screenplay it could be a week or two. For a novel it could be month.
I come back and look at it with fresh eyes. These eyes can then see the piece for what it is. They can then review what's written and see what works and what does. That's the point when I realise the silly things I've done like named the character something different in the latter part of the script than the first part (I may have called him Colin at the start but moved to his last name Smith towards the end). That's also when I can read through the script or novel with a critical eye checking for things like "Does it flow?" "Do the characters work?", "Do they have a distinct voice?".
None of these things can really be seen out when writing something. This has to happen via a suitable period of non-exposure to the material.
- Get a software that support your process
- Write as quickly as possible and get the vomit draft out there
- Wait a while to let the initial knowledge of the piece die down
- Go back and start the (re)writing
- For more on blogging and Scrivener I recommend the last of those links. ↩

Obscenity, Child Pornography, and Indecency: Brief Background and Recent Developments
Description: The First Amendment provides that "Congress shall make no law ... abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press. ..." The First Amendment applies, with two exceptions, to pornography, with that term being used to refer to any words or pictures of a sexual nature. This report discusses the two exceptions, which are obscenity and child pornography; because these are not protected by the First Amendment, they may be, and have been, made illegal. Pornography and "indecent" material that are protected by the First Amendment may nevertheless be restricted in order to limit minors' access to them.

Ancient Egyptian philosophy revealed in a hieroglyphic text.
Classicist and linguist Morrow (Wolves and Honey: A Hidden History of the Natural World, 2004, etc.) offers a meticulous exegesis of the Pyramid Texts, a manuscript of hieroglyphics inscribed on stone walls within the Pyramid of Unis in the Saqqara Plateau. Unearthed in 1880 and 1881, the text "is the earliest surviving body of written poetry and religious philosophy in the world." The author insists that previous translators, believing ancient Egyptians to be wholly materialistic, with no interest except for "earthly pursuits and pleasures," have starkly "misunderstood, misrepresented, and marginalized" the inscriptions as "violent, pornographic, and stupid." Morrow, however, bringing to bear her own exaltation of Egyptian culture, sees them as "superbly lucid" and "supremely intelligent" considerations of philosophical and religious questions: "What is life on earth, how does it relate to time and the interrelationship of all things, what is death, what survives death?" Her new translation comprises the central 90 pages of the book, framed by an introductory section analyzing the intricate composition of each hieroglyphic and a concluding section investigating the "deeper design" of Egyptian religious belief. "Hieroglyphs are simple," the author claims. "The multiplicity unfolds in the meaning." Steeped as she is in mythology, history, archaeology, the Egyptian landscape and natural environment, and other religious practices, such as tantric yoga, Morrow deduces poetic, multilayered meaning that is sometimes challenging to follow. She is persuasive, nevertheless, in demonstrating that hieroglyphics "are metaphors drawn from physical reality itself, tactile, observable, knowable." The inscriptions, for example, make repeated references to astronomy, particularly the changing constellations marking the seasons. As a whole, she argues, the Pyramid Texts seek "the magical key, the pattern that lies beyond form, the invisible, eternal structure of life."
An erudite investigation that rewards patient, careful reading.

Your telecommunications account allows you to access an almost inconceivable amount and variety of online information. In mid-1994, for example, there were more than 2 million hosts (computers with unique addresses that allow users access to online services) on the Internet, and between 20 and 30 million people in 146 countries who could exchange electronic mail with each other (Calcari, 1994; Quarterman, 1994). Within this vast array of possible connections, there are basically two ways that information can be shared online: among people and between people and remotely-located machines.
Internetworked computers can house publicly-accessible databases, file archives, and virtual environments. I call these informational resources. When using an informational resource, you are actually interacting with a computer program, using it to help you to locate and collect information. Computers on the Internet can also house user accounts, with which account-holders can communicate either privately or publicly with other users, sharing information person-to-person. The tools that allow us to make such interpersonal connections can be seen as interpersonal resources.
Both informational and interpersonal resources can be used to help students explore curriculum-related topics in precollege classrooms. In this month's column, six different types of interpersonal exchanges, or educational telecomputing activities that incorporate use of interpersonal resources, will be presented. For the next three months, "Mining the Internet" will feature examples of three different general classes of educational telecomputing activities: interpersonal exchanges (this month), information collections (in April) , and problem solving projects (in May) . Each genre of educational telecomputing activities includes five, six, or seven different activity structures, and each structure will be presented with at least one example activity that has been classroom-tested and shared by telecomputing teachers.
It is my hope that by providing you with activity structures, rather than a potpourri of lesson plans, you will be empowered to design effective educational telecomputing experiences for your students that are curriculum-based and adapted to suit their particular learning needs and preferences. This idea (and earlier versions of these activity classes and structures) was first presented in the May 1993 "Mining the Internet" column , then expanded in the February , March , and April 1994 "Mining" columns. The following structures and examples are intended to serve as an update to that earlier work.
The most popular types of educational telecomputing activities are ones in which individuals "talk" electronically with other individuals, individuals "talk" to groups, or groups "talk" with other groups. Since all teachers with telecommunications access can use electronic mail, many of these projects employ Email (sometimes via LISTSERV discussion groups) as the common context for exchange. Other teachers and students use newsgroups and Internet-connected bulletin boards for projects such as the ones listed below.
Keypal projects were the first educational telecomputing activities to be tested online. When an online activity is organized according to this structure, individual students in two or more locations are matched with each other so that they can communicate using Email.
For example, students at Burleson High School in Texas communicated with students from South Africa, Norway, Finland, Denmark, Peru, Russia, Estonia, Chile, Mexico, England, Iceland, Germany and Canada, exchanging information about their experiences living in the 14 different countries as part of a project called "The World at Our Fingertips." Their teacher, Brenda Yowell, arranged for these exchanges by posting a message to the KIDLINK discussion list. Diane Eisner of Lexington, Massachussetts, similarly arranged for her 85 seventh-grade students to discuss the books I Am Rosemarie and The Cay with electronic "literature partners" via electronic mail and synchronous discussions on IRC (Internet Relay Chat).
"Town Twinning" projects, in which students from towns with the same names in different countries communicate with each other, can also be conducted according to keypal activity structures. For example, students from Mano Talaiver's classes in Richmond, Virgina communicated with Mike Burleigh's students from Richmond-on-Thames in the United Kingdom, first answering the four questions that all participants on the KIDPROJ discussion list must address:
1. Who am I? 2. What do I want to be when I grow up? 3. How do I want the world to be better when I grow up? 4. What can I do now to make this happen?Melanie Golding, a English teacher from a high school in northern New York, structured a six-week keypal project in which her 14 - 17-year-old students exchanged information about their families, town histories, schools, local geography and history, local and federal governments, and holiday customs. The educational goals for keypal projects in general are well stated in this excerpt from the message that she posted to announce the availability of this "Getting to Know You" project:
I hope that my students are able to connect with students from France, Germany or Israel because they have studied these countries this year in their history classes. My intention is to foster communication, technology, and cultural awareness. This can happen by merely letting the children talk. We can start this process by having the children write individually to one another.Unfortunately, student-to-student keypal exchanges often involve more managerial work than many teachers have time to contribute. Group-to- group exchanges (called global classrooms, and presented in the next section), especially those with a particular study emphasis, can evolve into fascinating collaborative explorations without overwhelming activity facilitators with the transfer and processing of multiple electronic mail messages sent to and from a single account.
Using this activity structure, two or more classrooms (located anywhere in the world, of course) can study a common topic together, sharing what they are learning about that topic during a previously-specified time period. Currently, this appears to be the most popular type of educational telecomputing project.
For example, students from Barrow, Alaska posted the following message in mid-November, 1994, initiating a simple and fascinating global classroom project:
Date: Thu, 17 Nov 1994 15:45:57 GMT From: Maryann Holmquist <email@example.com> Subject: sunset Greetings from Barrow, Alaska, USA. It is pretty cold in the Arctic. We live in a desert but tomorrow (Nov. 18) when the sun dips below the horizon like a seal we will not see it again for 65 days. Sunrise is at 12:37 p.m. and it sets at 1:46 p.m. for a total of 1 hour, 9 minutes of day. The horizon will be a fiery orange. We will continue to ride on snowmobiles and go sliding and when we get cold we'll go inside. Write to us and tell us something about the sun from where you live on this planet. How much sunlight do you get? Do you have a favorite sunset you remember? From the Kids at Ipalook SchoolStudents from Caribou, Maine organized a project through which several groups could explore similar cultural roots with this message:
Date - Mon, 12 Sep 1994 15:27:28 -0400 (EDT) From - Paula Robertson <email@example.com> We are grade 8 students from Caribou, Maine, who have Acadian roots(French) and we want to compare our cultures and lifestyles with the Louisiana Cajuns. Is there anyone out there who may know of schools or individuals in the Lafayette, Breaux Bridge, Broussard and Iberia regions of Louisiana who have electronic mail capabilities with access to Internet? We are excited about this project and want to start as soon as possible. Please spread the word. :-) Paula Robertson Ruth Dionne8-year-old students from New Zealand studied villages (including the Global Village) by asking other students from anywhere in the world to answer the following questions:
1. What do you think a village is? 2. Could your area be called a village? If not, how do you describe your area? 3. List some features of your village. (We're looking for similarities and differences here) 4. Do you know of any other kinds of villages? 5. Do you think our class could be part of The Global Village? Here's a question in case none of the above questions appeal! 6. What do you think the Global Village means?These students, with the help of their teacher, Sue Graham, offered their responses to the questions in this way:
We think a village is a place where families live. It is a group of houses and shops close together.Please note that global classroom projects are often more topically focussed than keypal projects, and involve groups of students, rather than individual students, communicating with each other. In one project, for example, technology specialist Enola Boyd from Amarillo, Texas, organized a collaborative exploration of local nuclear facilities among a half-dozen upper elementary classes. In Ms. Boyd's words, participating students "studied the functions and impacts of nuclear facilities on their surrounding communities."
We live in the city of Dunedin, New Zealand, which is halfway between the Equator and the South Pole and we're the first country in the world to see the sunrise each day. Our shopping centre is called the Roslyn Village, which is on the top of the hill surrounded by very busy roads. We have lots of shops very close together. There are a number of old wooden villas, some big brick houses, some narrow steep streets, and not many open spaces.
The Maoris, who lived in NZ before the Europeans arrived, used to live in a fortified village called a pa. This was usually on the top of hill, with a fence to keep out enemies and a good view to see other tribes coming to attack.
We're not sure what The Global Village is, but we know that it has something to do with people living in our world.
What is your village like? Is your 'village' like ours or is it different?
While some global classroom projects are structurally simple and short-lived, others are quite complex and can involve students for one or more school semesters. The "Desert and Desertification" project, coordinated by Hannah Sivan, David Lloyd, and Oded Bar from Sde-Boker, Israel, is a year-long, four-stage interdisciplinary project for students from around the world who are interested in studying about deserts in the past, present, and future. It includes a rich array of activities, involving participants in discussion, online and off-line data collection and organization, sound and image collection and transmission, film viewing, subject matter expert interviews, literary analysis, desert field trips, simulations, roleplays, and environmental forecasting.
"The S.S. Central America - A Shipwreck to Remember," a similarly rich and varied four-stage, interdisciplinary, year-long project with historical and meteorological emphases, is being coordinated by Jamie Wilkerson of Rosewood Elementary School in Rock Hill, South Carolina. In this project, students electronically explore the voyage and sinking of a 272-foot wooden steamship, along with the weather conditions that led to its demise, in electronic consultation with members of the Columbus-America Discovery Group, the team of scientists and historians who are currently working to salvage the Central America's history and treasures.
Electronic mail, newsgroups and electronic bulletin boards can also "host" special guests, with whom students can correspond. A series of such "electronic events" is held regularly in Academy One on the National Public Telecomputing Network's Cleveland Freenet, coordinated by Linda Delzeit (firstname.lastname@example.com). One event connects students with authors of children's books, such as Sheri Cooper Sinykin, who wrote The Buddy Trap, Slate Blues, and Next Thing to Strangers, and who answered students' previously-submitted questions in a public conferencing area during the month of May, 1994. Authors also share "background information, a little about what they have written, and insights on the writing process" while participating in this "Authors Online" project, according to Ms. Delzeit.
An historically-focussed electronic appearance activity, hosted by Academy One, is currently in progress. The "50th Anniversary of D-Day" project helps students to explore World War II by asking electronically for participants' memories. The project was summarized online as follows:
The Dept. of Defense has a World War II Commemorative Community Program surrounding the 50th anniversary events. Fact Sheets from the DOD are posted on various facets of WW II. A special panel of WW II survivors are available for students to ask questions. Some memories have been posted from these survivors that make interesting reading and research. As part of the Commemorative Community Program you can sign up your community, school, and community computer system as Commemorative Communities. Each community that registers will receive a Commemorative Flag authorized to be flown on poles just below the State Flag, and each member of the committee will receive a special lapel pin.Also, NPTN now hosts a multi-national "Career Panel," which calls upon a large number of adults who work in many different kinds of jobs to share details of their responsibilities, employers, work schedules, tools, and educational/professional preparation with interested students.
Electronic appearance projects usually allow students to communicate with locally, nationally, or internationally-known people for relatively short periods of time. When exchanges with subject matter experts become more extended, and an "electronic apprenticeship" forms, the activity structure can be called electronic mentoring.
Internet-connected subject matter specialists from universities, businesses, government, or other schools can serve as electronic mentors to students wanting to explore specific topics of study in an interactive format on an ongoing basis. For example, a "matching service" called the Electronic Emissary, based at the University of Texas at Austin, helps volunteer subject matter experts from all over the world and teachers and their classes find each other, structure a mentoring project, and share what they learn together by communicating with electronic mail.
Students can also serve as mentors to other students. Philip Sandberg's undergraduate geology students at the University of Illinois (Urbana- Champaign) served as mentors to precollege teachers and students as part of their requirements for their "History of Life" course. Professor Sandberg described the intent of the project as follows:
I am looking for classroom teachers (with access to a network connection for their class) who are interested in participating in an electronically mediated science education project with me and my students in Geology 143 (The History of Life) this semester. Interested students in my geology class are receiving training in e-mail, news groups and network (Internet) information search and retrieval. I want them to develop skill in electronic communication by linking electronically with elementary and middle school classroom teachers and students and serving as information brokers in support of instructional modules, in those classrooms, on the history of life (dinosaurs, mammal evolution, extinctions, etc.) and history of the earth (origin of the Appalachians, opening of the Atlantic, etc.), and the functioning of the earth (plate tectonics, etc.).Using another activity structure that has recently emerged, students' contacts with subject matter experts is brief; only as long as is necessary to have their questions answered.
In order to accomplish this, we need participating classrooms with students and teachers interested in advancing their understanding of the earth by collaborating with me and my students. Because a very large number of my students (over 90) originally indicated their interest in participating, we need quite a few classrooms. I anticipate that teams of 3-5 students will work with each participating classroom, searching out answers to the classroom questions, either over the network, or through the library resources here on campus. That information would then be transmitted to the classroom, along with its source, including how to navigate to it, if it came from over the network.
In the fall of 1994, the U.S. Geological Survey made an exciting new service available to Internet users. "Ask-A-Geologist," coordinated by Rex Sanders of the USGS Branch of Pacific Marine Geology, allows precollege students to submit questions that are answered by professional geologists. The service was described, in part, like this:
Date: Wed, 26 Oct 1994 23:30:57 GMTKay Corcoran, a middle school teacher in Mendocino, California, helped her students to form questions for historians who participate in a number of scholarly electronic mail discussion lists on ancient history to answer. The basis for this project is rich and educationally sound. As Ms. Corcoran stated in her project summary,
Ask-A-Geologist - US Geological Survey offers new Internet service
Have you ever wondered about why California has so many earthquakes, and New York does not? Why is there so much oil in Texas, but not in Wisconsin? What are the deepest canyons in the United States? (The answer might surprise you!) While the answers to many of these questions might be as close as an encyclopedia, some questions are difficult to answer without checking many sources.
Beginning Monday, October 4, 1994, the USGS will offer a new, experimental Internet service - Ask-A-Geologist. General questions on earth sciences may be sent by electronic mail to the Internet address:
All electronic mail to Ask-A-Geologist will be routed to the geologist of the day. The geologist will reply to your question within a day or two, or provide referrals to better sources of information. Please include an Internet-accessible return address in the body of your message.
To enliven and engage the middle school learner, project-based units based on guided research are a popular feature in the History/Social Science curriculum. Typical research projects utilize the resources of school and community libraries, and students need to learn to read information closely and thoughtfully. With the availability of telecommunication resources for research on chosen topics, they soon discover that historical fact is open to interpretation, contradiction and occasional controversy.Conversations with others online can also take on more fanciful characterizations, as in the case of impersonation activity structures.
As a culmination activity to their research project presentations, those students who have been critical readers, who have recorded inconsistencies, who have exhausted their resources and have unanswered questions may utilize listservs to provide clarification.
A variety of history listservs abound, and the discussions cover a wide range of topics. Not only will 6th and 7th graders see that ancient history is alive and well, but that historical fact is open to interpretation based on evidence. History listservs provide an excellent opportunity for middle school students to observe the give and take of inquiry and to dialogue with the experts.
Impersonation projects are those in which any (or all) of the participants communicate with each other "in character." At the University of Virginia, for example, educational history professor Jennings Waggoner "became" Thomas Jefferson via electronic mail for several local elementary classes studying Virginia history. His work is now carried on for a much larger number of precollege students who use Virginia's PEN (Public Education Network) by a team of docents at Monticello, Mr. Jefferson's home. Students who use the Elementary Book Conference on VaPEN can communicate with characters from children's literature, such as Winnie the Pooh, Willie Wonka, and Ramona Quimby. These exchanges are coordinated and studied by Jeradi Hochella, from James Madison University, and Jan Stuhlmann, from Louisiana State University.
Following the popular example set by Kurt Grosshans' advanced placement chemistry students in Virginia with their "Ask Mr. Science" project, participants in the Geometry Forum at Swarthmore College offer the services of "Ask Dr. Math" in the following way:
Clearly, this is a rich and motivating way for students to use telecomputing tools to help them to explore many curriculum-related topics in dynamic, interactive contexts.
*********************************************** * Ask Dr. Math * * * * Have a math question? * * No problem's too big or too small * * Want to talk to someone who loves math? * * Let's do some math together! * * * * Write to: * * firstname.lastname@example.com * ***********************************************
If you are a student in elementary, middle, or high school, write to us! We can't wait to get some really good problems from you. All of the Ask Dr. Math letters are answered by members of "The Swat Team," math students and professors here at Swarthmore College. Ask Dr. Math is a project of the GEOMETRY FORUM, an NSF-funded program housed at Swarthmore College in Swarthmore, Pennsylvania, USA.

June 5 - doing damage
Very easy start to this day. Lulled into a false sense of security, I even made a video for fun as I walked.
But then the rocks began and they went on and on. I needed to resupply, as I had less than a day's food. Trent's Grocery was talked about and that was my goal, 14 miles away and a half mile off the trail.
I finally got there after two trail magics! The first was a case of water which was timely. But the second was obviously from a hiker. There was a cooler that had hot dog buns, ketchup and mustard, marsh mellows, baby carrots and Budweiser. Adjacent was a lighter, two rolls of tp from a four pack, a roll of duct tape and a plastic container of cinnamon hearts - solid sugar. There must've been dogs for the buns before I got there.
Did I mention the Bud?! :)
There were three cans in semi melted ice. I cracked one and it went right down. I had passed two older day hikers a half hour up the trail and I knew they'd enjoy a cold one as we'd joked about it as I passed them. What a surprise for them!
I got to Trent's and ordered a bacon cheese burger. I looked around and for a hiker it was sparse. Minimal. I was confused at one point when I saw tuna next to trout and thought, "Oh, trout," but then realized that it was bait - trout food to catch trout, shelved right next to people food. I bought some bars and peanuts. Ordered a second burger, retaped the feet and headed out.
And there was Stitch! We got caught up and said our good-byes. She was staying at Trent's that night - they offered camping - and was headed to Woods Hole Hostel the next day.
I walked back to the trail head and then another 1.8 miles into the woods before calling it a night. There was a waterfall .3 miles up the trail according to my map and I heard from my hammock, excited voices in the distance which must've come from there. It made me happy to think they were at the falls and having a good time. :)

Episode 1423George from
George keeps hearing about BitCoin and how much the price keeps going up. What gives it that value? Leo says nothing but sheer belief. BitCoin is crypto currency, which are essentially digital dollars that don't exist outside of a computer. You can't really take it and spend it at the local store unless the store takes it. But even a dollar bill isn't really anything but a fiat currency that the government says it's worth. The value of a dollar, or any other currency, changes all the time. It's fluid. So BitCoin is just an extreme version of that. They are stored in a Bitcoin wallet or service, and can even be traded in for real dollars. Hackers tend to like bitcoin because it can be somewhat anonymous.
Is it real? Not really. But no currency really is.

France to 'gradually deploy' 2,500 troops to Mali following all-night bombing mission
France's defense ministry said the country will "gradually deploy" 2,500 troops to Mali, following an all all-night aerial bombing campaign Tuesday to wrest control of a small Malian town from armed Islamist extremists.
President Francois Hollande, speaking during a visit to the United Arab Emirates, said the troops will leave only when Mali returns to a stable state with a strong political system, Reuters reports.
"We have one goal. To ensure that when we leave, when we end our intervention, Mali is safe, has legitimate authorities, an electoral process and there are no more terrorists threatening its territory," Hollande said.
The U.S. will also provide assistance in Mali, but no American troops will be on the ground and details are still being worked out, Defense Secretary Leon Panetta said Tuesday during a press conference in Lisbon, Portugal with Defense Minister Jose Aguiar Branco.
"There is no consideration of putting any American boots on the ground at this time," Panetta said. He added that despite Al Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb, also known as AQIM, and other affiliate groups in Mali not posing an immediate threat to the U.S., that "ultimately that remains their objective."
Hollande launched an attack on Mali's rebels, who are linked to Al Qaeda, last week after the insurgents began advancing south. France's action preempted a United Nations-approved plan for a military operation in Mali, which was expected to start about nine months from now. Hollande decided a military response could not wait that long in its former colony.
The number of French soldiers in Mali is rapidly increasing from the Tuesday morning count of 800, including elite special forces. Every few hours, enormous transport planes are landing at Bamako's airport, loaded with supplies and more soldiers.
A convoy of 40 to 50 trucks carrying French troops crossed into Mali from Ivory Coast. Several thousand soldiers from the nations neighboring Mali are also expected to begin arriving soon, and Nigeria said nearly 200 would be coming in the next 24 hours.
French officials have acknowledged that the rebels are better armed and prepared than they expected. Despite France's five-day-old aerial assault, the Islamist fighters have succeeded in gaining ground, most notably taking Diabaly on Monday, putting them roughly 250 miles from Mali's capital, Bamako. When the air raids began last week, the closest known point they occupied was 420 miles from the capital.
"They bombed Diabaly. They bombed the town all night long. I am hiding inside a house," said Ibrahim Toure, who irons clothes for a living and happened to be passing through Diabaly on his way to visit relatives, getting caught when the Islamists encircled the town. "It only stopped this morning at around 6 a.m."
France ordered the evacuation of the roughly 60 French citizens living in the area of Segou, the administrative capital of central Mali located a three-hour drive from Diabaly, according to an email sent by the French Embassy in Bamako.
During a stop in Abu Dhabi on Tuesday, Hollande told RFI radio that he was sure the French military operation would succeed.
"We are confident about the speed with which we will be able to stop the aggressors, the enemy, these terrorists. And with (the help) of the Africans that are being deployed, I think that in one more week we can restore Mali's territorial integrity," he said. "Airstrikes were conducted overnight so that the terrorists who are seeking refuge in Diabaly — they have not conquered the town and are hiding inside it to protect themselves — will be chased out."
The Islamists taunted the French, saying that they have vastly exaggerated their gains.
"I would advise France not to sing their victory song too quickly. They managed to leave Afghanistan. They will never leave Mali," said Oumar Ould Hamaha, a commander of the Movement for Oneness and Jihad in West Africa, one of the extremist groups controlling northern Mali, whose fighters are believed to be in Diabaly.
"It's to our advantage that they send in French troops on foot," Hamaha said. "We are waiting for them. And what they should know is that every French soldier that comes into our territory should make sure to prepare his will beforehand, because he will not leave alive."
Diabaly represents an especially symbolic victory for the Islamists. It was in the military camp inside the town that 16 Muslim preachers from the fundamentalist Islamic sect, the Dawa which originated in India, were massacred by Malian government forces four months ago.
The group of bearded men were unarmed, and were heading to a religious conference in the capital.
Many of the leaders of the extremist groups occupying northern Mali began their path to jihad by adhering to the Dawa interpretation of Islam, which calls on the faithful to act as missionaries. One such missionary was Hamaha, who traveled to France a decade ago in order to preach the austere version of Islam in mosques.
It is unclear what happened to the Malian soldiers based at the Diabaly camp. Hamaha told the AP that many are dead, and that others fled on foot.
A member of the Malian security force based in Bamako, who could not be named because he was not authorized to speak to the press, said that an unknown number of soldiers were killed. A group of them escaped, fleeing north to the next small town, Dogofri. The man insisted on anonymity because he was not authorized to speak publicly.
Two residents of the town of Sikasso, located on the Mali border with Ivory Coast, said the population came out to cheer the French military convoy, traveling from a base in Ivory Coast. It was unclear if they were headed to Diabaly or elsewhere.
Britain's Ministry of Defense confirmed Tuesday that their RAF C17 aircraft carrying French military personnel and supplies had arrived in the capital, Bamako.
There are already at least 800 French troops in Mali, with more arriving every day. More than a dozen nations have agreed to either send troops, or else supplies and logistical help to aid the effort in Mali.
The Al Qaeda-linked groups control an area that is the size of France itself in northern Mali, a territory larger than even Afghanistan. They seized it in conjunction with other rebel groups nine months ago, and have imposed a brutal version of Islam.
Girls as young as 12 have been flogged for not covering up, as have pregnant and elderly women. The rich musical tradition of this part of the world has gone silent in the north, where even cellphone ringtones are banned.
Among the first targets of the French bombing raid was a building in the city of Gao that served as the headquarters of the Islamic police, which handed down punishments that included the amputation of the hands and feet of accused thieves.

"With PrintNet 5.3, our efforts have been centered on exciting features that address many industry issues and deliver extensive improvements in productivity for our customers."
New PrintNet Designer 5.3 highlights include:
Advanced Transformation Functionality
The ability to repurpose spooled print files, when the application that created the file is no longer available, has brought significant productivity savings to end-users. While earlier versions of PrintNet Designer contained features for repurposing legacy content from spooled print files, PrintNet Designer 5.3 makes the definition of data extraction areas fully visual with an integrated display of what was extracted from the legacy file. Users benefit from enhanced performance over earlier versions as well as the ability to modernize existing applications without having access to the original composition tools and content. Data streams supported include AFP, PDF, PostScript and TNO.
Enhanced HTML Output
Electronic delivery of personalized documents, via Personalize URLs (PURLs) or e-mail, is becoming an alternative to printed output. Enhancements to the PrintNet Designer 5.3 production engine allow the electronic display of any document that has been designed in PrintNet Designer. This includes advanced page formatting to support data driven graphs, tables and images as well as fonts and background elements. Ideally, these enhancements are best suited for applications that are viewed via a Web browser, while PrintNet Designer 5.3 will continue to support HTML output designed for e-mail clients as well.
Color Spectrophotometer Support
Color spectrophotometers measure specific colors using precision optics and calibrated light sources. RGB, CMYK and even named sources such as Pantone, use averages which are only valid for one paper stock and printed on a specific device. With PrintNet 5.3, color can now be captured directly by using an XRite color spectrophotometer allowing color settings to be calculated directly from a live printed sample.
PrintNet Designer 5.3 is available for shipment today. Current PrintNet Designer users should contact their local office to schedule upgrades.

On TV
Last night I realized that Sergeant Hathaway needs eventually to take the mantle from Inspector Lewis and carry on the series, just as Lewis did from Morse. I mean, how much more obvious can anything be? In "Indelible Stain," which was repeated last Sunday, the scene went something like:
Professor Rand: (dripping with condescension) I am sorry you gentlemen are not able to see the whole picture.
Sergeant Hathaway: (drily, with restraint) Perhaps that is because it is not being sufficiently framed.
In other news, last night I also remembered that The Muppet Show had a segment called "Animal Hospital" -- I think it was rather a mash-up of MASH and General Hospital. "The continuing story of a quack who's gone to the dogs." When I look it up online, some sites say it was called "Veterinarians' Hospital." Either way, it was fun.

The Southwest Heritage Racing Association recently held their annual awards banquet at the DFW Marriott Hotel at Champions Circle. Not only were the 'Top Five' in each class recognized for their efforts in 2017, but there were also several big announcements made.
Since the first day of the SHRA, Mallory Screen Print and Embroidery in Joshua, Texas has been the series' first and only series sponsor. However, in order to bring new faces to the SHRA fold, Mallory has agreed to step aside and become the "Official Screen Print and Embroidery Company of the SHRA" and open the door to the "Red Line Shirt Club," which will now be the SHRA series sponsor.
The Red Line Shirt Club is a drag racing T-shirt membership company that produces T-shirts of famous drag racers from the past. With the growth of the SHRA nostalgia drag racing series, the Red Line Shirt Club took notice and wanted to increase their involvement with the series.
Series President Chris Graves said, "To have the leading nostalgia drag series in the Southwest come together with the finest nostalgia drag racing T-shirt 'club' in the country says volumes about our series. The SHRA looks to bring more awareness regionally and nationally to the products produced by the Red Line Shirt Club."
Randy Ranew, the man behind the club said, "It just makes sense for Red Line Shirt Club to be involved with the Southwest Heritage Racing Association, and I look forward to continuing to keep the history of drag racing alive and well with our partnership." The Red Line Shirt Club will be providing exclusive T-shirts for the SHRA in 2018.
To learn more about the Red Line Shirt Club, check them out online at www.RedLineShirtClub.com.

Art Deco diamond engagement ring made in platinum
Can an Art Deco diamond engagement ring get any more beautiful? This one is so typical of the fine quality jewellery that was produced in the post war era of the 1920's to the 1940's that resulted in platinum being used often in jewellery and fabulous geometric designs. This ring was entirely hand made in platinum and is set in the centre with a fabulous old European cut diamond that measures 1.15 carats and is G in colour and VS in clarity. The European cut diamond has the same amount of 58 facets as today's modern brilliant cut diamond, but as these diamonds were cut by hand, the angles were different to the modern diamond today. Genuine old cut diamonds are becoming increasingly popular today and the brilliance in this one is just superb. Looking closely at the setting around the diamond it has the millgrain finish which can be seen as the crimping along the edge which adds that extra charm and character to an already spectacular ring. The setting in this ring is just one reason why genuine Art Deco rings are so popular and the detail in this ring is just spectacular. And surrounding the setting are a further twelve diamonds to add to the sparkle of the setting. For an outstanding Art Deco engagement ring, this one not only feels great on the finger it looks equally as spectacular. Stock# ES6261 Circa: 1920 $21,800

Ashley's commercial practice includes substantial arbitration experience.
Recent and ongoing work includes:
Sports law work forms an increasingly prominent part of Ashley's practice and he accepts instructions in all areas of sports law, be they contractual, regulatory or governance.
He is currently appointed as sole counsel in two FA Rule K Football Arbitrations, and as sole counsel in proceedings currently before the National Anti-Doping Panel. He recently appeared (led by John Mehrzad) in the Court of Arbitration for Sport in Lausanne, in a CAS case (on appeal from a FIFA Tribunal) on termination for just cause, liquidated damages, mitigation of compensation principles and sporting sanctions.
He regularly advises football clubs and footballers on commercial and insolvency matters, including, recently, litigation arising out of the takeover of Leeds United Football Club in 2014, and a breach of contract claim brought against a La Liga footballer by a former agent.
Last year Ashley (led by Jonathan Cohen QC) represented the successful claimants, De Pury & De Pury LLP, in the case of ACLBDD v Staechelin & Ors [2018] EWHC 44 (Ch), a claim for a $10 million commission arising from the sale of a Gauguin painting, Nafea faa ipoipo ("When will you marry"). The sale of the painting – one of the finest pieces of art in the world and also one of the most expensive, having been sold to the Emir of Qatar in September 2014 for $210 million – was the subject of a 10-day trial in the High Court where issues of agency, fiduciary duty and forfeiture of commission (which inevitably overlap onto his sports law practice) stood at the heart of the parties' dispute.
Ashley is a member of the Table Tennis England Board of Appeal, and previously advised a National Sporting Body in respect of its selection procedures for Team GB athletes, both in the run-up to, and subsequent to, the Rio Olympics 2016.

VisitScotland is urging the craft beer industry to capitalise on the lucrative food and drink tourism market, which is worth almost £900 million a year to Scotland's visitor economy.
A new report by VisitScotland, conducted with The Brewers Association of Scotland, highlights the potential that craft beer has in enhancing the Scottish tourism experience.
The report said: "The rise of interest in craft beer over recent years has also mirrored many similar consumer trends within the tourism industry.
"The growth in interest from younger demographics, most notably millennials, has driven a search for products that are authentic and give an honest representation of their brand."
The tourism board has launched a Spirit of Scotland craft beer (pictured) to highlight how the craft beer trend could be worth millions to tourism.
The Spirit of Scotland craft beer was brewed in Edinburgh-based Stewart Brewing's Craft Beer Kitchen to mark the release of the research and celebrate the craft beer industry's #ScotSpirit.
The Spirit of Scotland campaign was launched in February to highlight the country's "unique spirit" and has become one of the most successful for VisitScotland in recent years.
Malcolm Roughead, chief executive of VisitScotland, said: "The rapid growth of Scotland's exciting craft beer industry in recent years and the popularity of sampling local produce by visitors, creates a fantastic opportunity to 'tap' into a new market of 'craft beer tourism'.
"It is clear to see from the research that there is real interest Scottish craft beer from across the globe, leaving the industry well placed to follow the likes of the whisky industry and other Scottish produce in becoming a real draw for visitors near and far."

Barrett poll finds he has 14-point lead on Falk in Dem primary
Tom Barrett has a 14-point lead over Kathleen Falk in the Dem guv primary, according to a survey conducted for his campaign and obtained by WisPolitics.com.
Barrett was backed by 41 percent of respondents, compared to 27 percent who supported Falk. Seven percent supported Doug La Follette, while 4 percent backed Kathleen Vinehout and 21 percent of respondents were undecided.
The survey of 502 likely Dem primary voters was conducted April 16-17. The polling memo doesn't include a margin of error, but the results appear to be consistent with a public poll that came out earlier this week.
The polling memo from the Garin-Hart-Yang Research Group says Barrett's support is more firmly committed to him and that Barrett: leads among both men and women; has a 15-point lead among voters who signed a recall petition; and leads 44 percent to 31 percent among union members.
The memo also says Barrett leads Falk by more than 20 points in both the Milwaukee and Madison media markets, which comprise three-fifths of the expected primary vote.
The memo doesn't include the complete poll results or the questions asked.

Immune activation and immune senescence occurs despite viral control in Elite controllers, and can contribute to accelerated aging among HIV-infected women
ELITES controllers had significantly
higher CD8 T-cell activation
compared to HAART suppressed HIV infected (p=0.01) and HIV-negative (p=0.002) women suggesting that CD4 decline over period of time via activation induced cell death could have negative inflammatory consequences in these group of natural HIV controllers.
ELITES controllers had significantly
higher levels of CD8 T-cell senescence
than HIV-negative women (p=0.03). ELITES had significantly lower levels of Naïve CD4 T cells compared to HAART-suppressed women (p=0.02) and higher accumulation of CD4 and CD8 Terminal effectors (p=0.01,p=0.01 resp.) compared to HIV-negative women; a phenotype similar to that observed in aging subjects.
Expression of markers of activation, exhaustion and senescence on CD4 T-cells was less pronounced compared to CD8 T-cells. Significant
low frequency of T-regs in Elite controllers compared to HIV negatives were observed, suggesting lack of regulation;
this might explain higher activation and senescence compared to HIV negative women. No significant differences were observed in Intracellular Cytokines levels in response to PMA+Ionomycin.
Activated T cells undergo repeated cycles of division resulting in terminal differentiated effectors cells which are senescent.
Loss of CD4 naïve T-cells have been shown to correlate with higher microbial load in the periphery in a thymectomized mouse model8, thus contributing to lack of mucosal control which is already impaired in an HIV infected. Measurements for markers of microbial translocation are under investigation in these subjects and study.
Advances in Anti-retroviral (ARV) therapy have resulted in longevity of life of HIV infected individuals. Chronic immune activation and inflammation persist despite viral control and are known to be associated with co-morbidities that mimic aging 1,2
Natural ("ELITE") controllers (<1% of HIV-infected individuals) maintain HIV RNA to <80 copies/mL for a period of 12-18 months in the absence of antiretroviral therapy 3,4
Elite controllers are enriched for protective class I allele (B5701), suggesting that CD8 T cell responses may play an important role in control of HIV replication.5
The presence of co-morbidities in HAART-suppressed individuals, and higher activation and microbial translocation in ELITE controllers, suggests negative consequence over time despite viral control6.7.
Recent findings that ELITE controllers have declining CD4 counts over time8 lead us to investigate immune responses in ELITES in a case-control study nested within the Womens Interagency HIV Study (WIHS).
We hypothesized that persistent immune activation contributes to immune senescence in ELITE controllers as compared to HIV-uninfected women. We present interim analysis of our ongoing ARRA funded biomarker study.
Elite controllers had significantly higher CD8 T-cell activation compared to HAART suppressed HIV infected and HIV negative women

AHDB Pig Market Weekly
01 February 2012
AHDB UK Market Survey - 27 January 2012Consumers spent £293 million on fresh and frozen red meat this December, three per cent more than in the corresponding period in 2010.
Consumers spend more on red meat at Christmas
Increased average prices drove the increase in expenditure. A combination of fewer promotions and food price inflation meant beef, lamb and pork prices were all higher than in the previous year.
In the four weeks to 25 December the volume of purchases across all red meat categories and chicken were lower compared to the previous year. In December 2010 snowy conditions meant consumers purchased more on each shopping trip to ensure they were adequately stocked. This significantly increased red meat purchases, in particular beef. The same weather conditions did not occur this year, with December 2011 far warmer and drier. As expected, household purchases declined year on year.
As a result of the irregular trade pattern in December 2010, we have analysed how the latest December performance compared to the previous five years. This reflects a far more positive position, with pork purchases eight per cent higher and beef purchases up slightly on the five year average. Lamb purchases are almost two per cent lower compared to the past five year average, with reduced supply brought about by exceptional market conditions contributing to this.
In the 52-week period ended 25 December, lamb purchases and expenditure declined on the year with roasting joints the worst performing cut over the year as a whole. Lower import volumes and higher exports have limited availability in the year as a whole. Processors have been able to command a high export price, and as a result there was less pressure on retailers to promote their lamb offering. Availability has been the major factor in 2011, but high retail prices, in particular compared to pork and chicken, also encouraged consumers to switch to cheaper protein alternatives.
Household purchases of beef also declined during 2011, however expenditure increased one per cent as a result of a four per cent increase in price. In particular, purchases of roasting joints and steaks declined on the year, as consumers switched to cheaper protein alternatives, especially pigmeat and chicken. However, these cuts did perform better intermittently during the year, almost solely when they were heavily promoted by the major retailers. In the first half of 2011 mince and stewing beef performed strongly. Both products are relatively cheap, versatile and a key ingredient in component cooking, which has grown in-home during 2011. However, in the last quarter of 2011 purchases of mince and stewing beef were lower year on year. In the last three months of the year increased beef exports reduced the domestic supply. Similar to lamb, this reduced the availability of retailers to offer price promotions on fresh beef.
In 2011 pork benefitted from being the cheapest red meat, in a period where consumers were looking to economise on their food expenditure. Both volume purchases and expenditure increased on the year. In particular, purchases of frying and grilling cuts increased, largely as a result of long-term promotion deals such as 3 items for £10. In 2011 pork belly was the best performing cut, purchases increased five per cent on the year. Belly represents a cheap roasting joint alterative which consumers have turned to, from beef and lamb and from other pork roasting joints.
Pig market trends
The sharp fall in prices recorded since the New Year continued in week ended 21 January with the Eurospec DAPP falling by just over two pence to 143.35p per kg. This was its lowest level since April last year. Reduced demand during the post-Christmas period is still the main driver of price, coupled with cheap supplies from elsewhere in the EU. Price falls on the continent have been even more pronounced, although they now appear to be stabilising as supplies are reportedly tight. Nevertheless, the DAPP was still almost seven pence higher than a year earlier.
Although demand appears to be the main driver of price, supplies have also been high and estimated throughputs so far this year are 14 per cent higher than in the same period of 2011. The quality of pigs this week was unchanged, with the average carcase weight, 80.02kg, and average probe measurement, 11.2mm, identical to the previous week.
The market for weaners remains well balanced, with the average 30kg price easing back a few pence to £44.61 per head in week ending 28 January. Uncertainty about feed prices, which have again risen over the last week, along with the fall in finished pig prices, mean that finishers appear to be reluctant to pay higher prices for the time being.
In the latest 12-week period to 25 December 2011, data from Kantar Worldpanel showed that purchases of fresh and frozen pork, increased marginally compared to the corresponding period a year ago to 44,000 tonnes. As a result of a six per cent increase in the average price expenditure increased by the same amount to £212 million. The increase in the average price was largely as a result of reduced promotional activity by retailers in the last quarter of 2011, especially on shoulder roasting joints.
Belly and frying and grilling cuts were the drivers of the increased household purchases and have been the focus of retailer's fresh pork promotional activity during the 12-week period. Household purchases of pork belly increased 14 per cent, whilst sales of frying and grilling cuts increased one per cent. In contrast, purchases of leg roasting joints declined 17 per cent year on year in December. Retailers significantly reduced the amount of promotions offered compared to December 2010.
