Celebrating 100 years of bird conservation
100 years of history
100 years of bird conservation history
Imagine North America in the late 19th century. Birds were so numerous back then that they darkened the sky on migration. This heavenly bounty seemed inexhaustible. There were no limits, and billions of passenger pigeons were shot to be made into pies. Huge numbers of ducks, herons and egrets were slain to serve the fashion industry and its vogue for plumed hats.
Then the decline began to be noticed. Certain bird species became harder to find. The Great Auk and the Labrador Duck disappeared for good, followed in 1914 by the species that had once been the most abundant bird species in North America, the Passenger Pigeon.
Realization slowly dawned that the growing demand for birds exceeded what their populations could sustain. Thus, a conservation movement was born that led to the signing of one of the first international treaties on wildlife conservation, opening a new era of international collaboration in protecting wildlife and its habitat.
Signed on August 16, 1916, the Canada-United States Migratory Birds Convention aimed to regulate the hunting of birds and ensure the "preservation [of such birds] as are useful to man or are harmless".
Each season now, Canada hosts some 450 species of native bird, the majority protected by the Migratory Birds Convention Act.
Centennial of the Migratory Birds Convention
2016 marks the centennial of the Convention between Canada and the United States for the protection of migratory birds. The Migratory Birds Convention laid a foundation for the conservation of birds that migrate across international borders. Legislation enacted in 1917 implemented the Convention in Canada by protecting migrating birds for their nutritional, social, cultural, spiritual, ecological, economic, and aesthetic values.
This international agreement and the others that followed connects federal, provincial, non-governmental, private, indigenous, community and international partners, who share a long, successful history of conserving, protecting, and managing migratory bird populations and their habitats.
Celebrating the centennial of the Convention allows us to bring together those who have contributed to its success, and to galvanize efforts to protect migratory birds for present and future generations.
Migratory birds
- connect people with nature and add beauty, sound and colour to our world. They provide countless opportunities for enjoyment by birders, hunters, and outdoor enthusiasts and have cultural and spiritual importance.
- contribute environmental benefits, including pollination, insect and rodent control, and seed dispersal.
- are good indicators of environmental health because they are so visible and relatively easy to study. Studying birds can give us a picture of what is going on in the world.
Art exhibit New!
Art exhibit "In fine feather"
Acrylic and oil on canvas
Drawing inspiration from birds, 14 students from the Department of Fine Arts at Mount Allison University in Sackville, New Brunswick have created art works on the theme of migratory bird conservation. Through their youthful eyes, we contemplate the successes and challenges of the past and glimpse a way forward for the next century of conservation. Reproductions of their works will be displayed on outdoor panels on Laurier Street in Gatineau, near the Canadian Museum of History and the Maison du Citoyen, until the end of 2017. A collaboration between Environment and Climate Change Canada and Canadian Heritage, this exhibit is part of "The Art in the Capital" program, who aims to raise the profile of Canadian public art in the urban spaces of Canada's Capital Region.

Take birds under your wing!
This year, I pledge to "take birds under my wing"!
A hundred years ago, Canada and the United States signed a treaty to protect birds: the Migratory Birds Convention. A century later, it's your turn to sign your "personal treaty" for the protection of birds where you are. Download your pledge certificate and choose one of the eight ways of "taking birds under your wing".
Eight ways to take birds under your wing
1. Keep an eye on your pets outdoors
Research by Environment and Climate Change Canada suggest that 270 million birds die each year because of human activities. About 75% of these losses are attributable to domestic and feral cats. Take action: do not let your cat run free outside.
2. Make your windows bird safe
Windows can mislead birds: they see trees and sky reflected and try to fly through. Thousands of birds die this way each year. Make sure that all your windows are visible to birds. Put up visual markers that warn them away from the glass.
3. Avoid using pesticides and chemical fertilizers
Pesticides and chemical fertilizers can be harmful to birds, yourselves, your families and your pets. Avoid using them as much as possible.
4. Help reduce climate change
Go green: walk, bike, car pool or use public transit. Be energy-efficient: opt for compact fluorescent or LED light bulbs. Wash your clothes in cold or lukewarm water. Install programmable thermostats. Look for the Energy Star® label when buying new appliances. Cut back on waste.
5. Report the birds you spot and participate in citizen science programs
Make your bird observations count for science. Report the birds you spot and volunteer for citizen science programs. From entry-level beginner- and family-friendly programs to activities suited to more advanced birders – there's something for everyone!
6. Make your yard a haven for birds
Backyards and outdoor neighbourhood spaces (including around schools, community buildings, businesses and abandoned property) can provide much-needed bird and wildlife habitat, supplying needed water, food and shelter. Launching naturalizing projects at home or in the community can be a fun way to spend time outdoors connecting with nature, family, friends and neighbours.
7. Use products from sustainable farming, fishing and forestry
Help protect bird habitat. Check products for certified sustainable labelling, such as Ecocert Canada, Marine Stewardship Council, Forest Stewardship Council, Sustainable Forestry Initiative or Canadian Standards Association.
8. Get involved or donate to a nature conservation group
Give your time as a volunteer to a conservation group engaged in bird protection, habitat restoration or public education, make a charitable donation to an organization of this kind or buy a Wildlife Habitat Conservation Stamp.
A vision for the next century
Join us in building a vision for bird conservation for the next century
Answering the challenge of bird conservation
"The migratory birds that link our nations are among our hemisphere's greatest treasures."
A century ago, North American bird populations had declined dramatically in the absence of regulations and other efforts to protect them. Recognizing the importance of migratory birds to humans and the environment, in 1916 government leaders in Canada and the United States signed a treaty committing to conserve these valuable resources that cross our borders. This groundbreaking treaty was followed 20 years later by a similar agreement between Mexico and the United States. The result of these international agreements has been a century of cooperative conservation of our shared migratory birds and their habitats.
However, despite the treaties' successes, birds still need our help. The State of North America's Birds 2016 report tells us that while some groups of birds are thriving, others - especially long-distance international migrants - are in urgent need of conservation action.
Recognizing that continued international collaboration is vital to conserve migratory bird populations, our three nations have come together to start to build a vision for sustaining bird populations for the future.
Why birds and bird conservation matter
Successful bird conservation efforts recognize that the health of birds – and their habitats – is vital not just to sustaining their populations, but also to building and nourishing thriving human communities, economies and cultures, connecting people with nature, and providing valuable ecological services and benefiting many other wildlife species. Conservation unites people across broad geographies and a variety of cultures. We build our bird conservation vision on three key premises.
Conservation works
- Where partners come together for conservation, birds and their habitats are thriving
International cooperation brings success
- Governments and citizens are already working together to develop approaches to the conservation challenges of the future, such as ensuring resilient landscapes and adapting to changing conditions
Everyone wins with bird conservation
- Bird conservation leads to healthy environments and ecosystems that benefit human health and human communities
Our vision for the next 100 years of bird conservation

Building on the input received from Canadians, the three countries are now drafting a vision statement to guide our next century of conservation which will be posted here soon.

The Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks (BPOE) also known as the Elks Lodge or Elks
was founded in 1868. It is an American fraternal order and social club with nearly one million members. With so many members and governing positions, there are many uses for lapel pins. A basic way of identifying certain ranks is easily accomplished with our pins.
Here are some of positions found in local Elks Lodge offices:
Chair Officers
- Exalted Ruler
- Esteemed Leading Knight
- Esteemed Loyal Knight
- Esteemed Lecturing Knight
Other Lodge Officers
- Esquire
- Inner Guard
- Secretary
- Treasurer
- Tiler
- Chaplain
- Trustee (5 yr.)
- Trustee (4 yr.)
- Trustee (3 yr.)
- Trustee (2 yr.)
- Trustee (1 yr.)
- Organist
- Justice of the Subordinate Forum
Groups like the Elks and the Masons do lots of charity work in their communities. Handing out these one of a kind pins helps boost the name recognition of the group and it shows the locals that these men are trying to do good things for their community.
Often, individual lodges create custom elk pins for years of service of their members. For example, if you reach 5 years, 10 years, 15 years etc. you will receive a pin that everyone will recognize. This builds morale in the group and it raises pride with members.
Some Elks pins are used during election time at the lodge. If you are running for a certain office in the lodge, consider creating a pin to help your campaign really get your name out to other members that may not be good at associating a name with a face.
If you're on the grand level, you may be in charge of creating a pin for all of the Elks in your region. We can help you with this. Just give us a call and we will take you step by step through the process. It is quickand easy and surprisingly fun.
Order your own Elks Lodge lapel pins today. We can help you come up with a design that will delight your members. Visit http://www.lapelpinsplus.com to request a free price quote and email file
containing the custom artwork that we created for you. Email your ideas to email@example.com or call 1-800-252-0904 toll-free. We'll be more than happy to assist you with your request by creatingcustom lapel pins that meet your needs and exceed your expectations.

Keeping a low profile these days but still one of the best bands in Boston, Libyans continue recording more than most other bands around. This time it's a one-sided, two-song 7" with an etched B-side. I'm not sure if they all look the same (got the record-release edition when they played at Record Hospital Fest), but as always, you can expect great packaging from Libyans. (Mostly I'm thinking of their airplane-equipped 12".)
Anyway, the "A-side" (really just the first song), "Paralyzed" is going to be on the band's upcoming Sorry State 12". Similar to their other 7"s, the A-side is really more of the single, the catchy more Dangerhouse-esque song where the B-side packs a bit of a harder touch. On "Paralyzed" Liz even sounds a touch snottier, at least at the beginning of the song. We've gotten some backing vocals before, but Dan (Libyans' drummer) counters Liz on "Keep Waiting." Normally I'm not a huge fan of bands releasing a single as an album teaser or whatever, but "Keep Waiting" is worth getting this record. In fact, one reviewer called it "the most poignant love song Panella has ever written." (Scroll down all the way on that link. You know it's really saying something if you've ever heard Corner Club.) In all seriousness though, from the bass line starting off the song to the perpetually scratchy guitar riffs, you want to listen to "Keep Waiting."
Libyans are mostly on a break for the summer, but hopefully you can catch the tail end of the Eunuch tour and their new 7" (Liz plays bass in that band) or Foreign Objects (Dan also drums with them).

10' Gertee Travelers ~ home ~ winter 2011
I submitted one of the new chapters in 2020/TACM to newswithviews. The book revisions are underway and it won't be much longer before everyone who pre ordered will have their copies. I know some people are very upset with us because of the long delays and I don't blame them one bit. It has been over a year since some people ordered theirs.
There are several reasons it's so overdue, all of them are of a personal nature and partly health related, so I am extremely grateful to the majority of our customers who have shown us such patience. I am humbled by the people who became so concerned that we were unable to fulfil our obligations that they wrote not to ask for a refund but to ask where to send donations and how else they can help us to finish it. Some people know (from following my blog) how little we have and how we live. There have always been people who respected the way we didn't try to make money off our research, they appreciated the fact that we had no advertisements and flashing banners saying "Buy now!" I always wanted to maintain that kind of presentation, in spite of the reality that sites without ads usually have funding coming from someplace else.
For years I avoided the whole marketing scene because I really believed that this was such essential information that it had to be free. I managed to survive on part time jobs for many years so that I could keep studying and writing continuously. And then my body just gave out after years of sporadic eating, the stress of the topic and constant studying in primitive conditions. I started this work when I was 43 and still felt young enough to go winter camping to research and write ACL articles in a tent. I'm 55 now, and sleeping in a tent on the ground in the rain about killed me this past summer. Anyone who's ever had pneumonia will understand why I almost wished I would die. But somehow a brush with death also brings on a new sense of purpose and determination. Now I feel inspired to put these books out for sale and put the free research back online in the new format. One last time I'll forget about eating and spend the winter writing in a wood heated unplumbed Gertee. But this has to be the last time I do this.

10 Tips for Walking with Chronic Pain
Walking is one of the least expensive and easiest forms of exercise. All it requires is a pair of sneakers, a place to walk either outdoors or indoors, and the motivation to begin! Once you have a plan to begin a walking exercise routine, you can modify the length and intensity of your walks based on your goals and individual abilities.
Regardless of your reasons for beginning to walk for exercise, here are ten simple tips that will help you achieve the maximum benefits from your workout.
Talk to your doctor
Check with your doctor to be sure that walking will not worsen your chronic pain. While studies have shown that walking can substantially lessen the intensity and frequency of pain episodes, it's recommended to talk with your physician regardless.
Invest in a good pair of sneakers
Once you start walking for longer periods of time and longer distances, you'll need a good pair of shoes that fit appropriately and are of high quality to support your feet and legs during exercise. Walking sneakers should have good arch support and a slightly raised heel that adds support and prevents wobbling while walking.
Warm up
Make sure to warm up your muscles with a slow five minute warm up walk prior to engaging in a longer brisk walk.
Watch your breathing and heart rate
Take note of the pace of your breathing and your heart rate. While you want to elevate your heart rate while walking to gain the cardiovascular benefits, you should still be able to carry on a conversation during your walk. If you cannot talk while walking, you may want to decrease the intensity of your workout.
Focus on good posture
Maintain good posture while you walk by pointing your toes straight ahead, keeping your head up, back straight, and abdominal muscles engaged. Bend your elbows at a ninety-degree angle and swing your arms with each step.
Count steps
A pedometer will track the number of steps you've taken or the distance you've walked. This will help you to monitor your improvement and stay motivated.
Buy a wearable
Wearable fitness trackers such as the Fitbit or smart phone apps allow you to track your steps and compete with friends, which can offer extra motivation.
Drink water, lots of it
Keep hydrated if you're walking a long distance or in hot temperature conditions. In very hot weather conditions, you may also want to replenish your electrolytes with tablets or fitness drinks.
Sunscreen when outside
Wear sunscreen and a hat in the summer when exercising outside.
Select a new route
To avoid getting bored, vary the route that you walk. Once you feel comfortable with the amount of time and distance that you are walking, consider a route with some hills or terrain changes. Whatever you do, keep the workout interesting!

Captain's log Stardate: 81225.5 (Dec 25th, 2015)
This day takes us to Masjid Taneem. Also known as Masjid Aisyah, named after one of Prophet Muhammed's (Peace be upon him) wife. It was said that during the time where the Prophet was performing his Haji, Siti Aisyah was on her menstrual period. And therefore unable to perform the Umrah, where together with the Prophet's companions. She told the Prophet, who then told her brother to take her to the nearest point outside the Haram area. He took her to Taneem where she started her Ihram again before coming back to perform the Umrah. The reason why the mosque was also named after her as she had put her Ihram from this place once.
Because of the huge crowd gathered and lacked of space for our bus to park, we can only pass by while admiring the beauty of the mosque from inside the bus.
Once done, we return back to our hotel. Its only a short trip. We were given about 15 mins to rest before heading out to commence for our 3rd phrase of our Umrah practice.
Its all free and easy after that =)
We visit Masjid Hudaibiyah. Named after its land Hudaibiyah, it carries a significant phrase in the history of Islam. This occurs when Prophet Muhammed (Peace be upon him) and his followers were been denied entry from Makkans for their journey into Mecca for their Umrah.
It was said the Hudaibiyah encounter not only gave Muslims courage to go ahead with the mission, but it also tested their courage and faith in Islam. Its a turning point for this history.
We then return back to our hotel and to commence our 4th and last phrase of our Umrah practice. And at the end of it all, we managed to head up to the 3rd platform that surrounds the Kaaba. From there, you can have a stunning and majestic view of the Kaaba.
Finally! I was hoping if we get the chance to go up. The circular platform was designed for wheelchair bound people. However, there are those who prefer to circle around the platform. To have lesser crowd than the crowd at the main ground. But its always recommended to be on the ground floor where you can get close to the Kaaba, whenever possible. And also, you can get the feel of it during the tawaf.
Indeed, a majestic view from above. Masya Allah! A moment not to be miss!
We soon called it a day and its free and easy throughout the day =)
This day is an exciting day for us as we will be visiting Jabal al-Nour hill. It carries a tremendous significant part in Islam history, and one of the most popular tourist attraction in Mecca. This is where Prophet Muhammed (Peace be upon him) scale up the hill and had spend a great deal time in the Hira cave located there, meditating. It is also believed this is where he received his first revelation from the Angel Jibreel by God.
Why I say exciting was that we were given a chance to climb up the hill and to locate the cave. This, I cannot miss! Cause before this I was hoping if we were given a chance to go up there. And this is it! I ain't gonna wait!
This is a once in a lifetime expedition. Hiking up there takes me about almost an hour. I took a short break in-between to catch the breathtaking view. The surrounding was majestic!
Back then all these were just plain desert. With the mountains and hill still exist up to now. Just imagine, our Prophet Muhammed (Peace be upon him) travel miles and miles from his home, and all the way to climb up to his hill. And stay in the cave. Meditating. Seeking peace.
Its an extremely strenuous climb. But I finally made it to the top and locate the Hira cave.
However, there's a crowd gather at the entrance of the cave. As expected there will be. They will make their prayers, but have to go one at a time due to the small space, as what I had observed.
Because of that, I can only pray for our Prophet Muhammed (Peace be upon him) from a distance. My thoughts and prayers goes to the Prophet. I may not be able to make prayer through the cave. But I'm still glad that I can get to see it and near enough for me to see it. I'm thankful for it despite the strenuous hike. This is what the Prophet had gone through.
Tiring, but indeed a wonderful experience. Worth it! As long you are fit and capable, just go for it. At the same time, you are exercising. Really makes a good workout. And while you are reaching to the top, stop for a while and enjoy the breathtaking 360 view.
Soon after that we return back to our hotel where we had our lunch. Its free and easy after that.
The day where we shall leave the sacred land and to head back to Singapore. There's no program during the day. Until 0300hrs, where we shall commence one last tawaf. That only. No need to perform the Sa'i. And no need to don the Ihram. We are allowed to wear any form of full clothing.
This tawaf is to make a farewell tawaf of the house before we leave. As said by the Prophet:
"None of you should depart until he makes as his last act Tawaf of the House." [112]
A sad moment for some of us, especially first timers. Like my mum, especially her. She feel like she doesn't want to leave this place. She never felt this peacefulness in her. The calmness, ever since we landed at this sacred land. Away from stress, away from the tension, the pressure…
I couldn't agreed with her more. The feeling is so tranquillity. Free from disturbance. The reason for being here, is not only to commit Umrah. But to clear our mind from all the stress and pressure. To relax the mind, and to just focus on this commitment.
But nevertheless, there will always be the say where we shall come back again. You can go multiple times. Some of them in my group had go more than once.
However, is always best to go for Haji if you are able to commit it, your intention is there and had enough cash. Then you can go for Umrah again whenever you want to as part of your travel.
So when the time hits 0300hrs, we proceed to perform our last circumambulation around the Kaaba. One last look at the most sacred Muslim site in the world. There will be the day where we shall come back to this sacred land and to commit as what our religion has taught us. Insya Allah.
We had our breakfast before boarding the bus that will take us to Jeedah airport. Like how we had came here, we will stop at Dubai, before transit to Singapore.
Insya Allah me and my family will come back here again. It has been a wonderful experience for me. I had learn so many things. The Prophets, their mission, what they had been through.
Before this, I had little knowledge about it. Till where we had visited so many places. I began to understand more about the history of Islam, and hopefully I be able to study and understand more. There's a lot of it. Not just this.
I never felt this close to learn more about it. To grasp it so I can share my experience to my loved ones and friends back home. I'm thankful of what I had learn and gain from this experience. Alhamdulillah…
And lastly, I want to thank so much to the staff of Shahidah Travel Pte Ltd, as well all the Ustaz who worked under this company for taking care and guiding us from the start to the end. Its been great knowing you all and Insya Allah we will meet again in the future. Really really appreciate!
And within the group itself, its been nice knowing you all and we have becoming good friends. Insya Allah we will meet again in the future. Do take care! =)

"This post is part of a social shopper marketing insight campaign with Pollinate Media Group® and EDWARDS®, but all my opinions are my own. #pmedia #EdwardsPies http://my-disclosur.es/OBsstV"
The day that I became a mom, my entire life changed.
I think that most mothers out there would agree with me and say that exact same statement.
You think about what your life was like prior to children. You try to recall the days of college living, sleeping in until noon on the weekends, driving aimlessly around, and doing things out of what you want instead of what another person needs. Your days looked much different than they do today---days of lying around the house and watching Law & Order SUV marathons. Days of going to the spa, getting your hair done, and actually having nails that are manicured. Days dedicated to you and what pleases you.
You take the time, you take care of yourself, and you most definitely put yourself first.
So when does that change when you become a mother? I guess the better question is why does that change when we become moms.
I always wondered about that--- when I read about how moms didn't even have time to shower or brush their teeth, or how they haven't shopped for new clothes for themselves in years, or that they had to give up something they loved because they no longer had the time for it. The common theme that I noticed was that time was always brought up. It wasn't because the desire was no longer there {although, that seemed to be the case in some situations}, but rather that they couldn't quite figure out how to do it all without sacrificing their role as a mother. When it came down to it, the kids always came first.
I understand that. I do. That was my thought process with my first as well. I remember not wanting to miss a single moment with the kids. I remember feeling guilty if I slept more than two hours on the weekend after working a night shift. I remember being so exhausted, needing the time to myself, and yet I would still sacrifice my health {physical and mental}. I remember that I wouldn't allow myself to have even 30 minutes of TV time to myself because that would take away from the kids. Or that my rule was to never blog or to have the computer or phone out because gosh darn it I should be on the floor with the kids at all times. Me? Me was second, third, or last, but it certainly wasn't at the top of the priority list.
As time went by, that slowly began to change. Perhaps, I should say, as we expanded our family, or entire viewpoint of parenting began to change. The foundation was still there, but we realized we had unrealistic expectations for ourselves and we were not being completely true to who we were. We love to lounge. We love to let the kids run free without being there every second of every day. And we love to also take care of ourselves. Yes, our children and their needs will always be important, and yes, they will always trump our wants, but when the time is there and when it is appropriate, we make sure to take that time to ourselves.
One of the things that I find myself indulging in is just the "quiet time." Sometimes that means something as simple as sitting on the front porch while Andrew gives the kids a bath and reading a book, eating a slice of EDWARDS® Key Lime Pie, kicking my feet up on the chair, and watching the world go by me. These are all things that I normally don't get to do when the kids are around. Enjoy the quiet----there's always noise coming from someone. Enjoy a nice dessert----there's always someone trying to grab a bite, or two, or three. Enjoy a book--- there's always someone that needs my eyes on them when we are outside.
Just knowing that I'm not responsible for anything in that moment but my happiness.
I think it is so important for mothers and fathers out there to indulge in themselves. Indulge in a good book. Indulge in a TV marathon. Indulge in an Edward's Pie. And indulge in anything else that makes them feel good. We deserve it. We have the most important responsibility out there, and we deserve a little pat on the back here and there.
That, and a slice of heaven. Which is offered in the frozen section of Wal-Mart.
Save $1.00 on any ONE (1) EDWARDS® Whole Pie by taking advantage of the Walmart EDWARDS Ibotta digital rebate (while supplies last).

Ribavirin Dose/Levels Predicts Outcome in Pegasys/RBV ACCELERATE Study Comparing 16 vs 24 Weeks Therapy
Reported by Jules Levin
AASLD, Oct 27-31, 2006, Boston, MA
"Effect of drug exposure on sustained virological response in patients with chronic hepatitis C virus genotype 2 or 3 treated with peginterferon alfa-2a (40KD) (PEGASYS) plus ribavirin (COPEGUS) for 16 or 24 weeks"
M.L. Shiffman,1 S. Pappas,2 S. Greenbloom,3 R. Sola,4 L. Nyberg,5 J-P. Bronowicki,6 D. Crawford,7 A. Lin,8 G. Hooper,9 S. Zeuzem10 1VCU Medical Center, Richmond, VA, USA; 2St Luke's Center for Liver Disease, Houston, TX, USA; 3Toronto Digestive Disease Associates, Toronto, ON, Canada; 4Servicio de Digestivo, Hospital del Mar, Barcelona, Spain; 5Kaiser Permanente Medical Center, San Diego, CA, USA; 6CHU Nancy, Vandoeuvre-Les-Nancy, France; 7Princess Alexandra Hospital, Brisbane, QLD, Australia; 8Roche, Nutley, NJ, USA; 9Roche, Welwyn Garden City, UK; 10Saarland University Hospital, Homburg/Saar, Germany
The primary outcome of ACCELERATE, a large randomized trial examining 16 and 24 weeks of peginterferon alfa-2a (40KD) (PEGASYS®) plus ribavirin (COPEGUS®) in patients infected with HCV genotypes 2 or 3, demonstrated that, overall, 24 weeks of therapy is associated with a significantly higher rate of SVR than 16 weeks of treatment (76% vs 65% of patients; p<0.0001).[5] However, some patient populations, such as those with a low baseline viral load or a rapid virologic response (RVR; HCV RNA undetectable by week 4), achieved a high rate of SVR (>80%) with 16 weeks of treatment, demonstrating that this may be a reasonable treatment option in those patients who find it difficult to tolerate a full course of therapy.
In this analysis we assessed the relative influence of drug exposure, as well as baseline factors, on treatment outcomes in ACCELERATE.
In ACCELERATE, treatment-naive patients with chronic hepatitis C and genotype 2 or 3 infection were randomized to receive peginterferon alfa-2a (40KD) 180 _g/week plus ribavirin 800 mg/day for 16 or 24 weeks.
(Note from Jules Levin: In line with a theme emerging from several posters at AASLD, I think the finding of most interest in this analysis is that ribavirin dosing affected outcome. Because this analysis included patients in both the 16 & 24 week groups in the ACCELERATE Study, I think the finding of this analysis that >17 weeks of Pegasys therapy (duration of Pegasys therapy) predicted outcome is not very relevant. This is because since in ACCELERATE 16 weeks did not perform as well as 24 weeks you would expect >17 weeks Pegasys to predict a better outcome. Other predictors of outcome in this analysis that are of interest include: patients with baseline viral load <400,000 IU/mL did better; patients with cirrhosis did not do as well compared to patients with bridging fibrosis; patients older than 47 yrs did not do as well as patients <47 yrs; patients with genotype 2 did better than patients with genotype 3, but among patients with RVR (rapid viral response) both genotype 2 & 3 did equally well, and that's obviously understandable.
Consistent with previous studies,[2,6-8] multiple logistic regression analysis identified HCV genotype 2 infection, younger age, lower HCV RNA level, higher ALT activity and absence of cirrhosis as being associated with a greater probability of achieving an SVR.
In addition, total exposure to peginterferon alfa-2a (40KD) (PEGASYS®) and ribavirin (COPEGUS®) each had a major influence on SVR in patients with HCV genotype 2 or 3, independent of all other factors studied.
One caveat of this study is that, since all patients in this trial received a fixed dose of ribavirin 800 mg/day, those patients with the highest cumulative ribavirin dose/kg were not only those patients who received the highest doses of ribavirin but also those patients who were the lightest. Lighter patients consistently have the highest SVR rates,[2,7] and it is possible that increasing ribavirin exposure in patients with higher bodyweight would result in similar magnitudes of increases as demonstrated in these analyses. However, previous studies that have examined the use of higher doses of ribavirin or ribavirin dose according to bodyweight have failed to demonstrate such an increase.[2,3]
These findings illustrate the importance of maintaining drug exposure in HCV genotype 2 or 3 patients treated with peginterferon alfa-2a (40KD) plus ribavirin. The effect of drug exposure on SVR rates is as important as baseline factors, showing the relative importance of treatment adherence.
Baseline factors predictive of an SVR
The observed effect of drug exposure and individual demographic and baseline disease factors on the development of an SVR is shown in Figure 1.
- peginterferon alfa-2a (40KD), ribavirin exposure, baseline HCV RNA level, and histologic status all strongly influenced the development of an SVR
- age, HCV genotype, and gender had moderate influence
- ethnicity and ALT quotient at baseline had minimal or no influence.
Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that cumulative peginterferon alfa-2a (40KD) dose, mean daily ribavirin dose, HCV genotype, baseline HCV RNA level, cirrhosis status, age and baseline ALT significantly and independently predicted SVR (Figure 1a).
Since factors considered predictive of an SVR differed between patients with and without an RVR (ALT quotient was not predictive of an SVR among patients with an RVR, and gender was not considered predictive among patients without an RVR) in order to compare results across these subgroups of patients, all factors were included in the multiple logistic regression models (Figure 1).
Peginterferon alfa-2a (40KD), ribavirin exposure, baseline HCV RNA level, and histologic status
remained strongly influenced by the likelihood of achieving an SVR regardless of the RVR status.
Effect of cumulative dose of peginterferon alfa-2a (40KD) plus ribavirin on SVR
Analysis of SVR rates by increasing cumulative exposures of both peginterferon alfa-2a (40KD) and ribavirin are shown in Figure 2.
SVR rates were highest in the group of patients who received the greatest cumulative exposure of both peginterferon alfa-2a (40KD) and ribavirin (87%; Figure 2a).
- the SVR rate was 97% in RVR patients who received the highest combined exposures.
SVR rates were consistently higher in patients who received ≥17 doses of peginterferon alfa-2a (40KD), compared with patients who received <17 doses, over the range of ribavirin exposure (Figure 2a):
- in patients in the lowest quartile of ribavirin exposure (ribavirin dose <8.4 mg/kg/day), a 25% improvement in the rate of SVR was achieved in those patients who received ≥17 doses of peginterferon alfa-2a (40KD), compared with those who received <17 doses
- a 10% improvement in the rate of SVR was achieved in patients in the highest quartile of ribavirin exposure (≥11.5 mg/kg/day) who received ≥17 doses of peginterferon alfa-2a (40KD), compared with those who received <17 doses.
In patients with an RVR, ribavirin exposure had minimal impact on SVR in those who received ≥17 doses of peginterferon alfa-2a (40KD) (Figure 2b).
- SVR ranged from 89% to 97% for mean daily ribavirin <8.4 mg/kg to ≥11.5 mg/kg
- however, peginterferon alfa-2a (40KD) exposure remained important even among RVR patients receiving mean daily ribavirin ≥11.5 mg/kg. SVR was 10% higher (97% vs 87%) between those who received ≥17 vs <17 doses of peginterferon alfa-2a (40KD).
In patients without an RVR, SVR rates were consistently higher in patients who received ≥17 doses of peginterferon alfa-2a (40KD), compared with patients who received <17 doses, over the range of ribavirin exposure (Figure 2c).
- ribavirin exposure also had an effect on SVR in patients who received <17 and ≥17 doses of peginterferon alfa-2a (40KD) (Figure 2c).
This analysis included all patients (from both treatment arms) who received at least one dose of either study drug and for whom complete baseline information was available.
Patients with an end-of-treatment response but who failed to return at the end of the follow-up for a final assessment of their SVR were excluded from this analysis.
The primary efficacy end-point of ACCELERATE was SVR, defined as undetectable serum HCV RNA (HCV RNA <50 IU/mL; COBAS AMPLICOR HCV Test, v2.0) at 24 weeks after the end of the treatment period.
Statistical analyses
Stepwise, backward, and multiple linear logistic regression analyses were used to examine the impact of cumulative exposure of peginterferon alfa-2a (40KD) and cumulative exposure of ribavirin, along with demographic and baseline disease characteristics, on the probability of achieving an SVR. - a probability of 0.2 was used for both entering a variable into the model and keeping a variable in the model during the stepwise and backward selection processes.
For each patient, the cumulative exposure of peginterferon alfa-2a (40KD) was expressed as the number of standard 180 _g doses. Cumulative exposure of ribavirin was expressed as the mean daily dose (mg/kg) during treatment. -- since patients who discontinued peginterferon alfa-2a (40KD) prematurely would simultaneously discontinue ribavirin, the duration of ribavirin treatment was not considered in the analyses as it was connected to cumulative peginterferon alfa-2a (40KD) dose.
Demographic and baseline disease factors including age (years), gender (male vs female), ethnicity (Caucasian vs non-Caucasian), HCV genotype (type 3 vs 2), pretreatment ALT quotient, pretreatment HCV RNA titer (IU/mL, log10 transformed), and pretreatment cirrhosis status (cirrhotic vs non-cirrhotic) were also examined.
- since bodyweight was used to derive the mean daily ribavirin dose, weight was not considered in the analyses.
Age, ALT quotient, pretreatment HCV RNA, cumulative peginterferon alfa-2a (40KD) dose, and mean ribavirin daily dose were considered continuous in the models. - however, for ease of interpretation, medians were used to dichotomize each of these variables in the multiple logistic regression models
- mean ribavirin daily dose was also examined in categories defined by quartiles.
Since stepwise, backward, and multiple logistic regression analyses showed very similar results, only results from the multiple logistic regression analyses are shown.
Since, during the stepwise variable selection process, RVR was found to be the most important predictor for SVR (RVR had a chi-square statistic >350 vs chi-square statistic <80 with all other variables examined), further analyses were repeated separately among patients with an RVR and without an RVR. - analyses were performed to examine the importance of drug exposures in the presence or absence of an RVR.
A total of 1373 patients were included in the analyses. Baseline patient and viral characteristics and exposure levels of peginterferon alfa-2a (40KD) and ribavirin are summarized in Table 1.

Write Code Or Be Written Off
This is a "Tweetstorm", a stream of tweets on a single subject, fired off in rapid succession, on the subject of Bitcoin, Statists, "Regulationistas", the history of software, reality, the nature of data and the future of all the above.
Coincenter "to promote a regulatory climate". Climate Change, everyone agrees, is a bad thing.
Unless you produce software, you have nothing to say about anything any more. Producing reports is meaningless, so is the law.
This is why BitTorrent does not and never did need a hugely expensive and pointless association. It just changed everything by existing.
This is what Bitcoin is going to do. All the meetings, hearings, reports, legislation, administrative rules and boards can't stop it.
America will not control Bitcoin, and neither will American thinking or standards. GSM vs CDMA, once again, is the example.
The best thing that could happen is mass adoption in the world. Then it will be much harder to corrupt the businesses using the network.
Multisig is the perfect example of how no advisory group or committee that publishes paper can change software. Only code matters. Period.
Everyone wants a piece of the Bitcoin revolution. This is understandable. People in the wrong profession will not be allowed to destroy it.
If you're a lobbyist or a lawyer, re-train to write C. That is the only way you will be able to ethically influence the direction of Bitcoin.
Lobbying the State to create rules to control software is unethical. No man or group of men has the right to force others to code for them.
This essentially is what these lobbying groups want; to hire developers to work for them by force. Its disgusting, horrible and shameful.
The EU cookie directive is a perfect example of this. Some ignorant swines who cannot code have forced people to write software.
They are now interrupting and destroying the layouts of millions of pages, all for nothing, and in a transaction not involving them.
This is exactly what the Bitcoin Statists want, the "Petit Banqiers". It cant work, because the network is designed to circumvent them.
The more time and money they waste on pointless meetings and publishing, the more time the Golden BB has to emerge, that will wipe them out.
This is going to happen. There is no doubt about it. Ask the MPAA/RIAA what it feels like to be totally cut out of the loop.
Never before has there been a time where the back room dealings of the enemy have so transparently, so patently been made laughable.
Their scrambling around for legitimacy in a world where the Web of Trust is the absolute standard is ridiculous posturing.
The thing that matters now is the Web of Trust; nothing else. No state, law, rule or group of Crony Capitalists can stop it or corrupt it.
Mandatory Key Escrow, registration and all the other junk proposed by the Statists has been tried before pre-Bitcoin. It failed, and fail will again.
The history of the French and SSL is the precedent. When everyone is using Bitcoin, no State will dare interfere in its operation.
The self interested parasitical lobbying faction will auto destruct, since it will be obvious to everyone that they serve no purpose.
There is no lobbying group for GPG or SSL or Linux and there is no need for a lobbying group for Bitcoin. This is plainly obvious.
What is so wonderful is that it doesn't matter who wastes their time anymore; these people are literally impotent in the face of the network.
The software will spread like wildfire, the Bitcoin will flow peer to peer. Profit will be made, and none of it will be due to lobbying.
This really is a sea change in how things are done. Money is being removed from the control of the State and its low brow accomplices.
The world's population, which already holds the Americans in utter contempt thanks to NSA / Snowden won't accept US domination of Bitcoin.
I think Romanian domination of Bitcoin is far preferable. At least from there you will have ethics, standards, innovation, logic and reason.
SEE THE MONEY GO TO THE TRUE RULERS OF BITCOIN http://youtu.be/pgx1XFHxLzc
If all the money spent talking was put into writing and promoting and distributing software, all our problems would be greatly diminished.
The problem is that well meaning, computer illiterate, non business people or any combination of toxic characteristics simply can't plan.
If you want communications world wide to be protected, you don't LOBBY. You write SOFTWARE and RELEASE IT and SOLVE THE PROBLEM.
The stumbling block all these people have is that they love democracy and the State. They want both Liberty and Statism at the same time.
The un-brainwashed portion of their heads wants a Web of Trust mediated world without a State. The Pavlovian part barks "NO!"
Thankfully, it doesn't matter what these people can't think. PGP, Bitcoin, BitTorrent were all released without a committee or permission.
All of those three pieces of software forced changes on the world that are irrevocable. Bitcoin is at the beginning of its transformation.
The path is clear, the future is certain. Bitcoin will spread everywhere, and there is nothing that any handful of wrong headed men can do.
Bitcoin will be used without permission, without regulation, without your say so. You will be ignored by the market, just like the RIAA.

Massachusetts Senator Scott P. Brown and several colleagues have published an editorial at Politico.com advocating for a number of reforms to the United States Postal Service outlined in the proposed 21st Century Postal Service Reform Act.
The act would restructure and downsize the Postal Service to adapt to a "rapid exodus from traditional mail to electronic communication," according to the article, which Brown co-authored with Senators Joe Lieberman (I-Conn.), Susan Collins (R-Maine), and Tom Carper (D-Del.). Brown, Lieberman, Collins, and Carper are listed as co-authors on the proposed 21st Century Postal Service Act, which was introduced to the Senate on Nov. 2.
Changes made under the bill include "streamlining delivery" to centralized delivery points, and allowing the shipping of beer and wine -- provisions already made by competitors FedEx and UPS.
The bill defines a centralized delivery point as "a group or cluster of mail receptacles at one delivery point that is within reasonable proximity of the street address associated with the delivery point."
The proposal also plans to encourage 100,000 postal workers to retire. Under the bill, the Postal Service would reclaim $11 billion in overpaid pension from the Federal Employee Retirement System and "direct the postmaster general to use some of it for retirement and separation incentives," the article reads.
The Postal Service estimates that a workforce reduction of 100,000 employees will save up to $8 billion annually.
The bill would introduce policies to facilitate worker rehabilitation. According to the Senate summary of the bill the law will reform federal compensation programs across all areas of the government to restore the original purpose of returning rehabilitated workers to work.
Brown's article states that postal workers account for 40% of those in the federal worker's compensation program.
Postmaster General Patrick Donahoe delivered a speech to Congress on Nov. 21 asking legislators to consider drafting alternative legislation. Donahoe argued for a more flexible business model to allow quicker cost cuts.
Donohoe said taken as it is, the measures laid out do "not come close to enabling cost reductions of $20 billion by 2015 – which they must do for the Postal Service to return to profitability," according to a release on the Postal Service website.
Brown warns of the implications of a collapse of the mailing industry, which employs 8.5 people and generates almost $1 trillion in annual economic activity.
The Postal Service has 574,000 career employees, and it generated $67 billion in 2010, according to their website.

On the weekend of Sep 25 – 26th September, I attended the PyconUK 2011 conference. This was the culmination of a long journey which started by thinking "we need to start teaching children how to code" back in January 2011, then a long process of searching for an appropriate language to teach them, then finally landing on Python as the best language for children to learn programming.
Since I expected most of the audience to be well seasoned programmers and developers – I was not sure exactly what I would expect to achieve by going. I thought it might further the cause to raise the profile of teaching programming in school if I were to present a talk. So, I signed up to give a talk entitled from BBC B to Python GCSE. The previous weekend I pulled a stunt at Barcamp MediaCity to raise 'Computing at School' on the agenda and decided I would try something like this again, with some small variations.
The BBC CodeLab element was a short part of the talk, you can it again if you watch the video. My main motive was to provoke discussion and invite others to speculate about what could happen, especially if a respected organisation such as the BBC were involved. I would like to claim the credit for this myself, but if you look on the pages of python.org you will see that back in 1999 Guido himself launched a project entitled "Computer Programming for Everyone", I highly recommend reading it, this is where my inspiration for CodeLab came from.
The CodeLab proposal was a vision of what could happen, (in my opinion with or without the BBC). After I revealed that the talk at BBC BarcampMediacity was a hoax, people approached me with suggestions and proposals of how to make it a reality. I was met with equal amounts of disappointment and disbelief -people wanted to believe that it was actually happening.
It was always my intention to reveal the truth of the hoax during the talk. At the start of the talk I said I had some questions to ask at the end (some questions that little by little would have revealed the extent of the stunt) – I didn't need to, since somebody quickly realised that it was a hoax having heard of the stunt at Barcamp. I tried to give some subtle clues during the early part of the talk, eg. suggesting it was to be launched in early April (1st of April), also suggesting that people were soon going to be throwing their shoes at me.
In addition, I had already posted a blog the week before the talk explaining it was a stunt, however on the morning of my talk I made the blog entry 'private' and then made it 'public' again right after the talk – for the purposes of the talk. In addition to this, on Saturday morning I told one of the PyconUK team who was going to be the chair for my session that it was a stunt and I would reveal.
Many will argue that my motives or intentions were misguided – and I will not disagree. I did have one clear motive, to raise the profile of computing and programming in school – and I dont think anyone will argue that I achieved that, albeit using nefarious means. I know I upset some members of the PyconUK community – this was never my intention. I will have discredited and alienated myself in the process, but if I achieve my motive, it was a small price.
I was pleased to observe that the topic of "Python in Schools" was discussed on a few occasions during the three of the conference lightening talks, there was a reference to it in a coding dojo and two of the PyCon Panel questions . It was good to hear of the pioneering work that Garry Bulmer of Warwick has been involved with, and Nick Tollervey for all his efforts in introducing the Raspberry Pi to the community.
My final and possibly most important point – Earlier this year, I committed myself to learn how to program again so that I could teach children in my school how to. I spent many months searching for the right language to teach them, I looked at Basic, (even BBC Basic), BYOB, Java, Visual Basic and many more.
It is my belief that Python is the most appropriate for anyone of any age to begin to learn to program with. I am frustrated that I spent so much time searching for Python and wished that my search had been made easier. I was highly motivated to look for an appropriate programming language, I believe that PyconUK needs to be a little more outward looking and establish a more visible presence in the UK schools. So that teachers will not conclude their searches after landing on Java, Visual Basic or Ruby. If we want to rasie the profile of programing in the UK, Python provides the means to do so, it removes barriers.
It would be fantastic to hear that members of PyconUK community are now doubling their efforts to make sure that this becomes a reality and not just another stunt? When PyConUK 2012 conference takes place, it would be a fantastic opportunity to showcase the impact on computer programming in schools. A suggestion was made that education be a feature of the next conference.

Angelina Jolie Beauty Look at Oscars 2012
Oscars: Angelina Jolie
With her long, flowing waves and red-hot lipstick, Angelina Jolie looked like she just stepped right off an Oscars red carpet of yesteryear. Her warm, golden highlights, however, kept it all from skewing too retro. Angelina knows a thing or two about red-carpet glamour, but do you think she struck the perfect balance between old-school and new-school for 2012?

A dramatic 90 minutes was followed by an equally dramatic, penalty shoot out that eventually saw Peterhead get the bonus point that they needed to take them automatically through to the last 16 of the League Cup.
This game was perfectly summed up by the phrase see-saw as the Blue Toon went in front before falling 3-1 down then mounted a comeback that saw the game finish at 3 apiece before a penalty shoot out that neither side seemed to want to win.
American Kevin Dzierzawski put the Blue Toon ahead after 16 minutes with a wonderfully worked goal. Neat interplay between Leighton McIntosh and Rory McAllister on the right side saw McAllister sweep between two home defenders the another before squaring to Dzierzawski who made no mistake from six yards for the perfect start knowing a win would guarantee top spot.
Back came the Sons though and the towering figure of ex Brechin striker Robert Thomson headed in the leveler five minutes later.
Dumbarton then went in front with another header, this time from David Smith nine minutes before half time.
Things were looking bleak as the visitors woodwork was rattled twice and Graeme Smith performed heroics to keep his side in the game.
With the second half just two minutes old they went further behind from a penalty, war horse Ryan Stevenson tucking the spot kick away after Fiacre Kelleher had committed a foul although also getting his foot to the ball first of all .
What was needed was Blue Toon guts and determination and that's exactly what they delivered.
McIntosh lashed in from four yards following a scramble after a Steven Noble corner kick in the 57 th minute then the on fire McAllister was crudely chopped to the ground on the right side of the box before placing his spot kick in the impossible to save bottom left corner after 69 minutes.
Smith was kept busy as the shots reigned in whilst at the other end McAllister smacked the crossbar with a 25 yard free kick.
And so to the shoot out in the shadow of the famous Dumbarton Rock…
Smith brilliantly defied the first three spot kicks from the home side. McAllister and
Jamie Stevenson scored in style and all was going well until Ryan Strachan blazed over a shot that must have ended up in the river Clyde.
Dumbarton scored then Jordan Brown's effort was saved. The Sons scored again and Peterhead missed again via Fiacre Kelleher and things were going horribly wrong.
Dzierzawski calmed matters with a cool finish, Dumbarton scored again, Nathan Blockley did likewise before hero Smith, no doubt shattered from his usual role between the sticks, sent his shot following Strachan's out of the ground.
Immaculate efforts by Noble and the final one from Nicky Riley with another great save by Smith in between made sure.
Peterhead progressed albeit keeping their fans on the edge of their seats in the process and will now face an away trip to Ibrox in the next round of the cup.

Yes, no doubt I love Twitter. I have TweetDeck open almost all the time (I have to close it when I want to focus on writing in a serious way) so I can keep up news, tips, and what my friends are doing. Connecting, learning, and chatting with people on Twitter is one of the ways I stay connected, while still working from home (which is pretty solitary). I think because I talk with people, thank people for mentions and RTs, and all that sort of thing, people follow me. I don't, however, follow everyone back
Honestly, I can't do it. I tried for a while, following back everyone who followed me (spammers excepted of course), but I found that I just couldn't sift out the noise. Sure, this was just before TweetDeck came into the world, but still, as it is I "follow" some 5800 people. So I have to pick and choose who I follow. I follow all work colleagues. I tend to follow people I meet in person at conferences and such. If I don't know you, I follow people back (or just in general) when the information they are sending out holds some value to me. Really it's as simple as that. I track information in four columns in TweetDeck. These columns are made up of Twitter lists. I use Twitter lists because I can go switch to any Twitter client that supports lists (I think they all do now) and have my primary info sources right there. The thing is that there is a real and finite limit to this strategy. The limit is 500.
Any given list on Twitter can follow up to 500 people. That's it. I hit that limit with my News list this week. My private lists, Friends, Colleagues, and Colleagues 2 can, in total, follow only 329 more people. Oh sure I know that is a lot. However, what this means is that at some point, when all the lists hit their max point, I'm going to have to cull the lists. I always want to find and follow new people, new sources, get new ideas. It's that flow that helps me cover news and events well. And while I don't see following anyone a waste, I do have to make sure that I can manage my time and attention well.
There is no magic. There is no "I always follow people from Vancouver" or "I never follow someone who does this or that" (spam excepted), it's purely…when I read what you've said, am I interested.
That's it. That's how I follow people. I just read what people write. Same way I follow RSS feeds, if it's interesting, I'll read it. And most often, I don't unfollow or unsubscribe so once you've got my attention, you keep it. By the way, the "trick" of following and unfollowing me (or anyone else) just isn't going to work to get me to follow you. In fact, eventually I will block you.
