Exosome Diagnostics and Chesapeake Urology Partner to Evaluate Clinical Value of ExoDx® Prostate(IntelliScore) in First Study Under Novel Evidence Development Collaboration
Leading Urology Practice in the US to Evaluate Clinical Utility and Health Economic Value of Exosome Liquid Biopsy Test in Avoiding Unnecessary Prostate Biopsies
September 19, 2017 - Baltimore, MD and Boston, MA – Exosome Diagnostics (ExoDx) and Chesapeake Urology announced today that they have initiated a new evidence development study to demonstrate the value of ExoDx® Prostate(IntelliScore) (EPI) in avoiding unnecessary prostate biopsies and the overtreatment of localized, low-risk prostate cancer. The study is part of an evidence development collaboration agreement announced in August 2017, between CareFirst BlueCross BlueShield (CareFirst) and ExoDx focused on evaluating innovative products using clinical outcome and cost analyses. The objective of the collaboration is to accelerate medical coverage for products that demonstrate benefits for patient care.
"As we discussed moving forward under the new agreement, we felt Chesapeake Urology was a strong fit for this study process," said CareFirst Chief Medical Officer Rahul Rajkumar. "This clinical study with ExoDx and Chesapeake Urology advances our efforts to implement medical best practices in a time of increased focus on better patient outcomes, quality care and cost-effective delivery of medical services."
The clinical study titled "A Prospective, Randomized Blinded, Shared Decision Impact Trial of the ExoDx Prostate(IntelliScore), EPI Test, in Men Presenting for Initial Biopsy" is a prospective clinical study of 1,000 patients being evaluated for an initial prostate biopsy. Subjects are being randomized into two cohorts of 500 patients each. An EPI test result will be provided for patients in the first cohort. The remaining 500 patients will be treated based on current standard of care. Endpoints for the study include the reduction in biopsies for patients with a reported EPI test result, urologist and patient satisfaction with the EPI test and the economic savings based on use of the EPI test result.
"We are committed to providing access to the most advanced diagnostics and treatments to optimize patient outcomes," stated Ronald Tutrone, MD, FACS, CPI, Director of Chesapeake Urology Research Associates. "Working with a new test like EPI that is designed to avoid unnecessary procedures, complications and costs is fully aligned with our mission and core values."
This evidence development collaboration complements other ongoing clinical studies designed to demonstrate the clinical and economic value that EPI offers to men being evaluated for an initial prostate biopsy. "Exosome Diagnostics is thrilled to partner with Chesapeake Urology to assess the clinical and economic value of EPI," stated John Boyce, CEO of Exosome Diagnostics. "We are committed to overcoming the revenue and reimbursement challenges that have limited patient access to novel liquid biopsy tests like EPI up until this point. Partnering with Chesapeake Urology, a champion for improving patient care and implementing best practices, is an incredible opportunity to demonstrate the value of exosome based liquid biopsy tests for clinical care."

About the EPI Test
The EPI test is a completely non-invasive, urine-based test designed to be used along with clinical assessment and other standard of care factors (including age, race and family history) to enable physicians to assess whether an individual patient presenting for an initial biopsy is at greater risk for high-grade prostate cancer. As a "rule out" test, it is designed to more accurately predict whether a patient presenting for an initial biopsy does not have high-grade prostate cancer and, thus, could potentially avoid the discomfort, complications and cost of an initial biopsy and, instead, continue to be monitored. EPI, which is intended for use in men 50 years or older with a prostate-specific antigen (PSA) result of 2-10ng/mL presenting for an initial biopsy, involves patients submitting a simple urine sample, without having to first undergo a digital rectal exam (DRE).
This test was evaluated and its performance characteristics determined by Exosome Diagnostics Inc. It has not been cleared or approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The FDA has determined that such clearance or approval is not necessary. Exosome Diagnostics is certified under the Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments (CLIA) act of 1988 as qualified to perform high complexity clinical testing.

LONDON (Reuters) - Sales of David Bowie's last album - released two days before his death of cancer - soared on Monday along with downloads of the greatest hits of his storied career.
Streaming giant Spotify said that streams of Bowie's music were up 2,700 percent on Monday.
In the UK, the Official Charts Company said Bowie's "Blackstar" album already was headed to the top spot on the charts with sales of 43,000 since its release on Friday.
Bowie's long-time producer, Tony Visconti, called the album the singer's "parting gift."
"I knew for a year this was the way it would be. I wasn't, however, prepared for it," Visconti wrote on his Facebook page.
Bowie, who framed hits such as "Ziggy Stardust" with daringly androgynous displays of sexuality and glittering costumes, died aged 69 on Sunday.
"Blackstar" was the top-selling album on Apple's iTunes U.S. and U.K. platforms on Monday morning. The 2002 "Best of Bowie" compilation album was the second most popular on the U.S. site, outpacing Adele's blockbuster album "25."
Bowie's 1972 album "The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars" was in fifth place on the U.S. iTunes platform, according to the site. Apple does not generally release iTunes sales or download figures.
Overall album sales and streaming data in the United States will not be available until next week.
On Amazon's UK website, "Blackstar" was the No. 1 "best seller," while it was the second most popular MP3 download behind "25" on Amazon.com in the United States.
Twitter exploded with some 4.3 million Tweets about Bowie's death in the seven hours after his death was announced, Twitter said.
"Blackstar" has only seven songs, but critics praised it, with Britain's Guardian newspaper calling it "a spellbinding break with (Bowie's) past."
In a music video accompanying the album's first single, "Lazarus," the singer is shown in a hospital bed with bandages around his eyes.
"Look up here, I'm in heaven," he sings. "I've got scars that can't be seen. I've got drama, can't be stolen. Everybody knows me now. Look up here, man, I'm in danger. I've got nothing left to lose."
The album is part jazz but full of what NME described as "warped showtunes, skronking industrial rock, soulful balladeering, airy folk-pop, even hip-hop."

As the name implies, a template job is a template that includes the key components for most of the jobs that you will open. Once a template job is created you can easily copy the template when creating new job openings. This streamlines the job creation process since you do not have to enter repetitive information such as desired candidate attributes or common interview questions. In this article, we will cover how to create and configure a template job, and how to copy from that template when creating subsequent jobs.
Create Template Job
There isn't a unique process to create a template job; it is created the same way a job you are actively hiring for is created. Also, there isn't a special setting that marks a job as a template; instead, name the template job something recognizable that will indicate the job as a template for other jobs.
To create a template job, navigate to the Add icon in the upper right-hand corner and click Create a Job from the dropdown menu.
When you reach the moment in the job creation process to provide an Internal job name, be sure to name the template something recognizable that will allow your teams to understand the template job's purpose.
The number of templates you create will depend on the size of your organization and the differences between pipelines per department. If each department or Hiring Manager has a unique component to each interview, it may be worth creating a template just for those instances.
We have found it useful for organizations to create a Template Department to house these template jobs ( >Organization>Departments>+New Department). When creating a template job, assign the Department to this Template Department.
This allows your organization to easily filter out these templates when running reports.
Configure Template Job
Regardless of how many template jobs your organization creates, every template should include basic information that is captured for every job. Below are some considerations to make when creating the template job:
Job Info:
- Internal job name: A name indicating that the job is a template job (you will want to provide additional detail if you have multiple templates)
- Department: Add the template to your Templates Department
- Custom Fields: Enter in any information that you want to pre-populate
- Optional Information for Interviews: If you would like to add more context regarding the template, or information about the format for other others to follow, enter it here.
- Add categories that are relevant for all jobs such as:
- Requirements (e.g. "Fits our Salary Range" or "Based Locally")
- Company Attributes
- Department Attributes
- Add example characteristics to help your team brainstorm skills they should include
Interview Plan:
- Define a basic interview pipeline with stages that all jobs will most likely include (e.g. Application Review, Phone Screen, Face to Face, Offer)
- Customize the Interview Kits for interviews that will happen across all jobs
- Phone Screen: Add custom questions (questions that will be asked by the interviewer) and select focus attributes for topics that are covered on all phone screens (e.g. tell me about yourself, desired salary range, and availability to begin work)
- Culture Fit: Add custom questions and select focus attributes for the traits that represent your company culture
- Other Interviews: If you have any interviews with standard questions and criteria that you're evaluating, add them to the interview kit
Hiring Team:
- Grant Job Admin permission to all users that should have access to copy the template to create a new Job
Job Post:
- Description: If there is consistent messaging about your company, benefits, or other information, include it in the description box.
- How Candidates Apply For This Job: Select Optional or Required on all basic information fields, and add custom questions that should appear on all applications.
- Settings: Determine standard settings.
Once you have configured all the steps in the job creation process, click Finish. Your template job will be saved as a Draft and can be copied when creating new jobs in the future.
Copy from Template Job
Note: A template job can only be copied by a user with:
- Site Admin level permissions
- Job Admin level permissions with the user-specific permission Can create new jobs and request job approvals on an open job. Additionally, this user will need to be assigned permissions on the template job
With a template job created, create a new job by navigating to the Add icon in the upper right-hand corner and clicking Create a Job from the dropdown menu.
From the subsequent page, select Start from Existing Job.
Use the filter panel from the next page to search for your template.
From the Status dropdown menu, select Any Status. Additionally, if you have assigned the template job to a Templates Department, simply use the Departments filter to isolate all template jobs.
From the populated list, select your template job and use it as a base to create a new job you are actively hiring for.

Difficulty/Climbing (from * to *****) ***
The Quiet Man 300 features the best scenery in the West of Ireland, featuring a large section of the Wild Atlantic Way. The route is not hilly, and regular Audaxers would even call it flat.

Organiser: Seamus O'Dowd
Phone: 085 1740747
Starting and finishing at the Cathedral in Ballina this year, as part of the "SR in a week" series, the route takes in the Ceide Fields, Ballycroy National Park, Westport, Delphi Valley, Killary Harbour (where you might spot dolphins) and north Connemara. The "Plains of Mayo" are dramatically different and the landscape varies between lush and boggy on the way to Cong, where you might take a minute for a selfie with Maureen and John.
On the way home, with a bit of luck you'll see the sun set behind Nephin, before returning in time for a meal and a pint in Ballina.

Brother Jacob
Among the many fatalities attending the bloom of young desire, that of blindly taking to the confectionery line has not, perhaps, been sufficiently considered. How is the son of a British yeoman, who has been fed principally on salt pork and yeast dumplings, to know that there is satiety for the human stomach even in a paradise of glass jars full of sugared almonds and pink lozenges, and that the tedium of life can reach a pitch where plum-buns at discretion cease to offer the slightest excitement? Or how, at the tender age when a confectioner seems to him a very prince whom all the world must envy-who breakfasts on macaroons, dines on meringues, sups on twelfth-cake, and fills up the intermediate hours with sugar-candy or peppermint-how is he to foresee the day of sad wisdom, when he will discern that the confectioner's calling is not socially influential, or favourable to a soaring ambition? I have known a man who turned out to have a metaphysical genius, incautiously, in the period of youthful buoyancy, commence his career as a dancing-master, and you may imagine the use that was made of this initial mistake by opponents who felt themselves bound to warn the public against his doctrine of the Inconceivable. He could not give up his dancing-lessons, because he made his bread by them, and metaphysics would not have found him in so much as salt to his bread. It was really the same with Mr. David Faux and the confectionery business. His uncle, the butler at the great house close by Brigford, had made a pet of him in his early boyhood, and it was on a visit to this uncle that the confectioners' shops in that brilliant town had, on a single day, fired his tender imagination. He carried home the pleasing illusion that a confectioner must be at once the happiest and the foremost of men, since the things he made were not only the most beautiful to behold, but the very best eating, and such as the Lord Mayor must always order largely for his private recreation, so that when his father declared he must be put to a trade, David chose his line without a moment's hesitation, and, with a rashness inspired by a sweet tooth, wedded himself irrevocably to confectionery. Soon, however, the tooth lost its relish and fell into blank indifference, and all the while, his mind expanded, his ambition took new shapes, which could hardly be satisfied within the sphere his youthful ardour had chosen. But what was he to do? He was a young man of much mental activity, and, above all, gifted with a spirit of contrivance, but then, his faculties would not tell with great effect in any other medium than that of candied sugars, conserves, and pastry. Say what you will about the identity of the reasoning process in all branches of thought, or about the advantage of coming to subjects with a fresh mind, the adjustment of butter to flour, and of heat to pastry, is not the best preparation for the office of prime minister, besides, in the present imperfectly-organized state of society, there are social barriers. David could invent delightful things in the way of drop-cakes, and he had the widest views of the sugar department, but in other directions he certainly felt hampered by the want of knowledge and practical skill, and the world is so inconveniently constituted, that the vague consciousness of being a fine fellow is no guarantee of success in any line of business

Sydney, Australia: Redlands Konica Minolta Art Prize today announced the appointment of respected Australian artist Tim Johnson as curator for the 18th annual exhibition and prize, to be presented at the National Art School from 11 April until 15 May 2014.
Tim Johnson is one of Australia's most highly regarded painters, whose works are included in the permanent collections of all major Australian state galleries including the Art Gallery of NSW, the National Gallery of Victoria and the National Gallery of Australia.
"We are delighted to have secured Tim Johnson as curator of the 2014 Redlands Konica Minolta Prize. With a career spanning 30 years and having exhibited all over the world in – both solo and group exhibitions – he brings an incredible depth of knowledge to his role as curator of the 2014 Prize," commented Dr Peter Lennox, Principal of Redlands.
Under the Prize's unique model, Tim Johnson as curator selects up to 20 contemporary visual artists from Australia and New Zealand to put forward a single work for the Prize. Each of those established artists are each, in turn, required to invite an emerging contemporary artist to present work in the Prize. In this manner, the Prize seeks to encourage mentoring relationships between different generations in the visual arts sector.
The respected annual prize offers $36,000 in prize money across three categories: the established artist prize supported by Konica Minolta ($25,000); the emerging artist prize supported by Allens ($10,000) and a viewer's choice award ($1,000). The Prize places no limitations on artistic medium and attracts a diverse range of painting, photography, installation, sculpture and new media works.
A new guest judge for the 2014 Prize was also announced today, with Judith Blackall, former head of Artistic Programs at the Museum of Contemporary Art Australia, being appointed to the role. Judith joins existing judging panel members: Katie Dyer, National Art School Curator and Redlands Visual Arts teachers Mark Harpley and Fabian Byrne.
Redlands has a tradition of acquiring the winning art works in both established and emerging prize categories for their permanent collection. Over the past two decades, Redlands has amassed an impressive collection through the Prize acquisitions, including works by some of Australia's most respected names such as Callum Morton, Ben Quilty, Imants Tillers, Arthur Boyd, Tim Maguire, Tim Storrier, Garry Shead, Guan Wei, Dorothy Napangardi, Gloria Petyarri, Emily Kame Kngwarreye, Del Kathryn Barton and Ray Crooke.
With the exception of those works acquired by Redlands, all works exhibited in the Prize will be available for purchase.
A free exhibition of all artist works in the Prize will be presented at the National Art School Gallery from Friday 10 April until 15 May 2014.
For further information and to request interviews and high resolution imagery please contact Kym Elphinstone on firstname.lastname@example.com or 0421 106 139.

Computer games can be a fun way to pass the time. They can also be educational, stress-relieving, and a good way to connect with others. Unfortunately, some individuals end up only wanting to play computer games, to the detriment of everything else in their lives. In this case, this particular hobby has turned into an addiction. But how can you tell if you are addicted to computer games?
Is Computer Game Addiction Real?
According to a study on Internet gaming addiction, "Under the new DSM-5 framework, Internet gaming disorder refers to the 'persistent and recurrent use of the Internet to engage in games, often with other players, leading to clinically significant impairments or distress as indicated by five (or more) [criteria] in a 12-month period'" (NCBI). This issue can be expanded to include computer games that do not require an Internet connection but are still causing a significantly negative impact on an individual's life.
While gaming addiction is not thought of in the way that heroin or even gambling addictions are by the general population, the former disorder is gaining wider acknowledgement by both the scientific and medical communities.
Am I Addicted to Computer Games?
If you are concerned that you might be addicted to computer games, ask yourself the questions below.
- Am I preoccupied with gaming?
- Does my preoccupation with this activity make it hard for me to think about other things, even when I should be?
- Does this desire to be playing computer games cause me to perform poorly at school or work?
- Do I ever experience withdrawal symptoms when I can't play at the times that I want to?
- According to the NIDA Teen, "Scientists aren't sure video games can cause the same [withdrawal] effects" that drugs do, effects which often make users sick. However, there is a possibility that you may feel extremely irritable, depressed, or angry when you cannot engage in this activity.
- Do I feel that I need to spend more time playing computer games than I used to in order to get my fix?
- Do I lose track of time when I play?
- Am I unable to control the time for which I play?
- Have I stopped being interested in any other fun activities I used to enjoy?
- Do I lie about how much time I spend gaming or lie in order to play longer?
- Do I engage in this activity in order to cover up negative feelings of boredom, sadness, loneliness, or shyness?
- "As a result of [a] study, a positive, meaningful, and high correlation between" gaming addiction and shyness was found (ERIC).
- Have I experienced negative consequences associated with my excessive gaming including:
- A breakup?
- Loss of job?
- Trouble at school, with grades, etc.?
- Loss of friends?
- Family problems?
- Despite these issues, do I continue to play the same amount of computer games?
If you answered yes to many of the questions above, you are likely addicted to computer games. Talking to someone is the first step, and seeking treatment may be necessary if your addiction has become so severe that you feel unable to fight it on your own.

While the rest of the expat blogs are going on about whether or not Zwarte Piet is racist, I'd like to take a moment to explain another, far less controversial Dutch tradition: the geboortekaart, which Karel is so industriously addressing in this picture.
These are birth announcements, and tradition dictates that they be sent immediately after the baby is born--the time elapsed between the birth anouncement arriving in the mail and the date-stamp of the infant (most of them also include the time of birth, as well) has led me to conclude that the prospective fathers (because no woman is going to be fiddling with geboortekaarten right after she's given birth) must be fiddling with websites such as Poobies and seeing entirely too much pink or light blue (and, for the lucky few, both) in the first few hours after their baby is born. Which is just as well--it gives the man something to do while Mom and Child are both recovering from the process of being born.
There are several websites available; we used Poobies because it was the only one I could remember of a number of websites advertised in one of those maternity magazines you pick up while you're waiting for the next midwife's appointment. But Hallmark also has a Dutch site (.nl rather than .com), and there must be a few others as well. You can customize the text, to a certain extent--names are important, as is the date and time (so that he can be added to the appropriate birthday calenders, of course)--and there is usually a bit of text somewhere floating around about when visitors are welcome.
But because Karel sucks at being Dutch, we've only gotten around to sending them out today, a full week after the Little It became Rijntje. And, as you might be able to tell, he also failed to conform to the pink/blue scheme--well, actually, that was more my doing, as I loved the idea of the broken egg. We also did not give him a last name, owing to an international snafu with the gemeente Nijmegen that involves Belgium and the US Consulate (again!). Suffice it to say that we'll be expecting more than a few telephone calls concerning this horrible breach of tradition and etiquette.

When Justin Gatlin and then Tyson Gay crossed the finish line in the final of the 100 metres on day three of the US Olympic trials, it was a moment as familiar as it was remarkable. They are, of course, two of the fastest men in the world. They are icons of US track and field. But not long ago both seemed unlikely to qualify for the 2012 London-bound team.
Gatlin – an Olympic gold medallist and once US track's favourite son – was exiled in disgrace, banned four years away from the sport he loved to serve a suspension for steroid use. At the weekend he ran a 100m personal best of 9.80sec. "I heard a lot of words this season: 'Redemption, my journey'," Gatlin said after his victory. "I just focused on sticking to what I know and being a fast runner."
And Gay, who out-bolted the Jamaican Usain Bolt five years ago to win a world title, has since stumbled, endangered by injuries – including hip surgery that rendered him unable to even jog as recently as March. Finishing a surprise third was Ryan Bailey, who owes his trip to London in part to his injured team-mate Walter Dix, who hobbled to last place on an injured left hamstring.
It was comeback day in the men's 400m race, too. In front of the record crowd at the University of Oregon's Hayward Field, LaShawn Merritt finished his race in 44.12, the best in the world this season, for a chance to defend the gold next month. The reigning 400m Olympic champion, Merritt served a 21-month suspension after testing positive for steroid derivatives called DHEA and pregnenolone in 2009-10.
"This won't be my first rodeo, so I'm confident," he said after the race. Qualifying again, he said, "is a birthday present to myself".
But the truly heroic victory in that race on Sunday belonged to Bryshon Nellum, a senior at the University of Southern California, who finished third behind Merritt and Tony McQuay. Nellum, a track star since high school, was shot three times in the legs while leaving a Halloween party where he was misidentified as a rival gang member. His most recent surgery was just last year. "It's been a long journey for me," he said. "I finally had a healthy season. It's a blessing to be able to compete out here."
The women's 100m was not as clear cut as the men's race due to an unprecedented third-place tie. USA Track & Field has yet to name the third runner to make the team. As expected, the world champion Carmelita Jeter pushed past Tianna Madison to win. But Allyson Felix finished level with her team-mate Jeneba Tarmoh for third in 11.068.
Track officials said there was no protocol in place for a third-place tie in an Olympic trial and that, surprisingly, such an outcome had no precedent. It was not until the end of the next day that the organisation settled on new procedures for a tie. The tied athletes must independently choose either a) a coin toss or b) a runoff – or decline to choose either one.
If either one chooses a runoff, there will be a runoff. If both refuse to choose a method, there will be a coin toss. Another option is that one of the athletes could decline his or her position and go to London as an alternate.
There is no deadline for the decision, but the US team must be chosen by the end of competition on Sunday. Bobby Kersee, who coaches both athletes, has expressed a strong preference to let Felix and Tarmoh run the 200m, which concludes Saturday, before making a decision.
The weekend in Eugene – dubbed Track Town USA for its running tradition – was also packed with firsts and records. Most notable was the mark set by Ashton Eaton, 24, the youngest of a celebrated trio of decathletes that includes Brian Clay and Trey Hardee. He surpassed them both on the second day to win the decathlon and set a world record of 9,039 points in front of his home team crowd.
Clay, the Olympic champion, shocked the crowd when he hit the final hurdle in his 110m hurdles heat and found himself initially disqualified. Although his points were later reinstated, by then a distracted Clay had failed to register a mark in the discus and was already losing ground on the leaders after day one. Lacking the Olympic 'A' standard, he was no longer in contention for one of the three places in London.

Learning to speak ...
Public speaking has always been a struggle for me, maybe because I prefer to write than speak and I am naturally a shy person. But there are days one just has to thicken the face and do the deed. I am glad I did. I am not sure what the audience took home but I personally learnt a lot from the experience as well as from the other speakers in the conference.
Here's what I learnt today:
1. Be clear on the one thing you want to hit home. If you manage to deliver that, then it's a job well done.
2. Share the good. And the bad. It's okay to be vulnerable. They don't think any less of you after that.
3. Look at the smiling faces and nodding heads. For a beginner speaker, a little instant validation is helpful and keeps your energy up.
4. After the talk, review what worked and what did not. And don't be too hard on yourself if you think you missed some important points or did not deliver the material well. There will always be another opportunity.
My next one is in 2 weeks. No time to rest on my Poang.

Hi :-) I've been a fan of Ikea Hackers for a long time and I am happy to see you challenging yourself and doing so well! I also am shy so I know how intimidating it can be to talk to groups at first, but I have done freelance web site design in the past for small clients and I have found that I am very comfortable talking about subjects that I am knowledgable about. I have no doubt of your knowledge in the area of Ikea projects and creative problem solving. You should be proud!ReplyDelete

One of the most pressing issues for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's new government has been its policy toward Israel's vast offshore natural gas reserves. Specifically, how much of the gas should Israel keep for domestic use and how much should it export?
Last week, government officials led by Netanyahu finally announced the details of that decision. They recommend that Israel keep 60% of the nation's gas for domestic consumption, which, government officials reckon, should be enough to meet domestic gas demand for at least the next 25 years.
The remaining 40% should be made available for export, which the government estimates should bring in profits of some $60 billion over the next 20 years. The recommendation has been submitted to Netanyahu's cabinet, where it is currently under review for approval.
Implications for energy companies
The decision had been long awaited by companies investing in Israel's natural gas sector, especially U.S.-based Noble Energy, Inc. (NYSE:NBL) and Israel-based Delek Drilling, the two largest stakeholders in Israel's offshore gas reserves.
The two companies had been seeking clarity on the government's stance regarding gas exports, as they aim to exploit the Tamar and Leviathan gas fields, which have been hailed as parts of one of the biggest offshore natural gas discoveries of the past decade.
Israel's massive offshore gas reserves
In March, Noble Energy, Inc. (NYSE:NBL) and Delek started pumping gas from the Tamar field, marking the first production from Israel's offshore gas reserves. Prime Minister Netanyahu hailed the development as "an important step toward energy independence" for Israel.
Tamar, which was discovered in 2009, is the biggest privately financed infrastructure project in the nation's history, costing $3 billion and four years to develop. Production from the field is expected to add a percentage point to the country's GDP growth this year, which is forecast to reach 3.8%.
While that's already impressive, the undeveloped Leviathan field, the larger of the two finds, holds even more promise. Leviathan's operators recently raised their estimates of the quantity of natural gas that can be recovered from the field by about 11%.
Delek, Avner Oil and Gas, and Ratio Oil Exploration said last month that the field, which is located in water depths of about 5,400 feet offshore Israel in the Rachel and Amit license, likely contains some 19 trillion cubic feet (tcf) of natural gas, 2 million tcf more than previously believed.
Export options
Delek and Noble Energy, Inc. (NYSE:NBL) are currently mulling over plans to export the gas from Tamar and Leviathan via pipeline to Jordan, Turkey, the Israeli-occupied West Bank, and potentially even Egypt. Delek is also currently in talks with Cyprus about developing an LNG terminal on the island nation that would serve markets in Europe and Asia.
Cyprus, which discovered nearly 200 billion cubic meters of gas in its Aphrodite field, hopes to start exporting LNG in 2020 and plans on processing not only its own gas, but also supplies from Israel and possibly Lebanon.
The bottom line
With these major discoveries in Israel and Cyprus, the Mediterranean and Middle Eastern gas trade is likely to undergo a fundamental transformation over the next several years, as countries like Israel emerge as major LNG exporters, possibly joining the ranks of existing heavyweights such as Qatar.
Furthermore, as Israel's decision highlights, countries around the world that are blessed with vast reserves of natural gas are recognizing the potential of exporting their resources. But in making their decisions, they must weigh the benefits of keeping the gas for their own domestic consumption against the profits that gas exports could generate for their government and citizens.

How to Maintain Confidentiality in Counseling
Explore this Article Explaining Confidentiality Protecting Client Records Protecting Against Lapses in Conversations Questions & Answers Related Articles References
There are 18 references cited in this article, which can be found at the bottom of the page.
Confidentiality is an essential part of the counseling relationship. A client must be able to trust that the personal information he or she shares with you will not be revealed to other people. To protect their professional relationships, a counselor must explain the benefits and problems inherent in counseling services and clarify the limits of confidentiality to the client. Importantly, counselors have their own set of professional obligations which vary slightly from those of other mental health providers and which will vary from state to state.
Explaining Confidentiality
1Provide informed consent. To give informed consent, the counselor must explain the benefits and risks of counseling as well as its alternatives. They must also explain state laws regarding when they may be required to break confidentiality and describe how they might be required to do so. The counselor must request permission to record counseling sessions in writing or via video and audio. Counselors have a wide range of issues they should raise during a discussion of informed consent.
- These include the purposes, goals, techniques, and limitations of counseling.
- The counselors should discuss their qualifications, their credentials, their relevant experience, their approach to counseling and provisions for continuation of service should the counselor become unavailable to continue treatment.
- You should also explain fees, billing, and procedures in case of nonpayment.
- If any supervisors or peers will review records, this should be noted in the informed consent procedure.[1]
2Explain protection procedures. To obtain informed consent you need to explain how you will protect confidentiality. This includes detailing how records will be stored. It also includes explaining cases in which the client's comments are not confidential.[2]
- This applies to electronic communications as well, including after hour phone calls, text messages, email, and skype sessions. You should discuss how confidentiality shall be maintained in such circumstances, and what risks to client confidentiality emerge when you are contacted after hours.[3]
3Give the patient a form to sign. You should provide a written form for the patient to sign, authorizing informed consent. This should remain in your patient's file. The language of the form is subject to change, but it should be inviting and easy to read. It should also cover most of the aforementioned points.
- It is advisable that you keep a copy of the form in the lobby so that patients can read it before speaking to you.[4]
4Get parental permission for minors. When counseling those under 18, informed consent must come from a parent. You should have two separate forms, one informed consent form that the minor signs and another consent for treatment of minors form that the parent signs.[5]
5Describe research. If the sessions will be the basis for published research, this should be disclosed to the patient. Whether or not they will be anonymous and how their anonymity will be protected must be discussed.[6]
Protecting Client Records
1Store records safely. To maintain confidentiality, it is the counselor's responsibility to keep the client's records safe and appropriately secured. Records should be locked away where only the counselor can reach them.[7]
2Protect records at home. It is important that you lock away documents at home as well as at the office. However, you might need to step away from your desk or take an emergency phone call with others around. You should ensure that anyone you reside with is aware of confidentiality procedures.
- You should inform anyone with whom you reside what areas are off limits.
- You should also make it clear to anyone around when a phone call is confidential. Close the door and inform them that they should leave you alone.[8]
3Provide records to client. A client may request his or her own records in most situations. The counselor however can refuse to provide access to portions of the records if it will cause harm to the client. The counselor must document the request of the client and the reason for withholding the information.[9]
- When there are multiple clients, such as with family counselling, then the counselor should only provide records relevant to the individual client, not other clients in the group.[10]
4Do not release records to any third parties. A client's records are only to be released to a third party if the client has provided written consent. This includes third parties who pay for treatment.
- With minors it is important to also obtain consent from parents before releasing information to a third party[11]
5Be aware of exceptions. There are some exceptions when confidentiality should not be preserved. These vary somewhat with state law. You should make both yourself and your clients aware of these exceptions. Generally there are a few standards for the lapse of confidentiality:
- Confidentiality is waived when the client makes threats of suicide or homicide.
- It is also waived when information is disclosed relevant to the abuse of children or the elderly.[12]
- Depending on the state in which you operate, you might be required to reveal to a third party when your client has a life-threatening disease that could be communicated to said third party.[13]
- If a court subpoenas your records you should ask for written consent from your client. If that is not forthcoming, it is your responsibility to try to limit or prevent the disclosure of records.[14]
6Stay current with counseling ethics and regulations. Counseling associations such as the American Association of Marriage and Family Therapists (AAMFT), the American Counseling Association (ACA )and the American Mental Health Counselors Association (AMHCA) all provide their members with a set of ethics for conducting counseling which include how to maintain confidentiality in a therapeutic relationship. You should also familiarize yourself with state regulations.
- When a counselor finds him or herself in a situation where maintaining a client's confidentiality becomes a problem, consulting with colleagues and/or a direct supervisor can help the counselor with appropriate decision-making.
- A counselor may also discuss confidentiality concerns with his or her own therapist, so long as they don't reveal information that may identify the client being discussed.
Protecting Against Lapses in Conversations
1Avoid confidential details in discussions with peers. When a counselor seeks advice from a fellow professional about a client, they should not disclose confidential information. Information that is provided should not allow for the identification of the client. Furthermore, it should be limited to what is necessary to obtain relevant suggestions.[15]
2Change details. When engaged in conversation with friends or family, change important information about clients. Alter facts so that the client will be in no way identifiable.[16]
3Do not engage in conversations in public. All conversations about clients should be in a private setting. If you receive an urgent phone call from a client, try to find a private place from which to return the call.[17]
4Do not acknowledge clients in public. Clients might not want their association with you to be public knowledge. Do not acknowledge them, unless they acknowledge you first.[18]
Community Q&A
QuestionHow do I talk to someone outside of an office while maintaining confidentiality?Top AnswererDon't provide names or identifying information (address, phone number, email, etc.) and don't reveal what kind of treatment the patient has had.
QuestionHow do I maintain client confidentiality during a group discussion?Community AnswerUse vague phrases that don't give away any identifying information when discussing the stories of any participants -- for example, say, "Someone once said..." rather than, "John Smith said..." During a group discussion, you aren't responsible for maintaining confidentiality between group members; everyone gets to decide what they feel comfortable sharing with the group. You can just exercise client confidentiality with your group members the same way you would with individual clients.
QuestionAs a substance abuse counselor, If I have a client who knows I work with a cousin of his, and he asks me to say hello to the cousin I work with, Is that breaking confidentiality?Community AnswerYes, don't do that. Never share confidential information that you have been entrusted with. Regardless of legalities, sharing any kind of personal information about a person's substance abuse represents a betrayal of trust.
QuestionWhat happens when another professional asks to discuss a mutual client with me?Community AnswerYou would need to get permission from the client first, and then you could discuss their specific information with another therapist.

AHWA SHORT STORY COMPETITION winners
Congrats to the Australian Horror Writers' Association SHORT STORY COMPETITION winner Joanne Anderton with "Always a Price" and to the FLASH COMPETITION winner Shauna O'Meara with "Blood Lilies". I look forward to reading both pieces in Midnight Echo.
Unfortunately for me, this means my story "Mud" (having not won) now begins the search for a new home.
"Mud" was shortlisted for Andromeda Spaceways last year but didn't make the cut. It's been knocked back from several other publications since, and I find that weird personally, because I think it's a more polished piece (and a historically interesting one) than Night Music or The Bridge, both of which had no problem selling.
Perhaps it's the length: at 6900 words, it's a harder sell than a 3 or 4 thousand word piece. Anyway, it's back to the drawing board for "Mud" as its author tries to decide between submitting to a magazine, anthology or perhaps another comp.
1 June 2012: The Week in Review
Aye, it's been a grand week for me, writing-wise. Finishing anything always gives me a great feeling of "Yeah, baby!" This week I've finished (finally) editing the 3rd chapter of my current novel project. But not only that, I got a short story written from scratch and polished and submitted to a competition, all in five days.
For this last, one I have a few people thank:
- Lee Maston who made me aware of a thriller short story competition (weird thing is, the competition didn't allow you to write anything related to crime, violence, swearing or danger…so I submitted it to another competition with double the prize money up for grabs! But thanks, Lee, for sparking this for me)
- Ian, Rachel and Kev for very quick turnarounds on critiques. You three were so responsive, it kept the fire alive in me for the piece
Hopefully, come August 31st, I'll be crowing about another publication! (And I'll have some free copies in the mail to four of my friends).
This week, I also had one of those conversations with a teenager (in my day job) where I was both thankful for the normality of my own life and realising afresh that many people live in their own private hells day in and day out. My heart went out to a somewhat twisted but nevertheless courageous young person wrestling with being someone she could be proud in the midst of an insane family life. I was reminded afresh that we have the chance at any moment to add light and encouragement to someone's journey, and I continue to pray that I remain switched on enough to do just that.
Happy reading, happy writing, happy days!
ACCEPTANCE: The Most Beautiful Word in a Writer's World
Only a writer can know what it means to send out a story to a "market" (ie., magazine or anthology), to wait and wait and wait for months for an answer, to open their emails one day and see a reply from an editor, to hesitate before opening the reply because "it could be an acceptance, but what if it's not, what if they hated it, but then again, it could be, OH JUST OPEN IT!" The emotional rollercoaster of letting other people prescribe value on your work is fearful and fun at the same time. But in the end, you just want someone to publish the stuff.
How happy I was to open an email last week and find that a story had been accepted by Andromeda Spaceways Inflight Magazine! The story Illegal (cowritten with my buddy Kevin Ikenberry) will appear soon in ASIM's hallowed pages and I'll let you all know when it's available.
And I'll talk more about collaborations with other writers soon. But for now, I'm just basking in the warmth that is acceptance.

Penn State and Pitt's rivalry might be renewed — again.
The Nittany Lions resumed their long-standing series with the Panthers in 2016 with a trip to Heinz Field. Beaver Stadium hosted Pitt this season, and the two programs will continue the home-and-home series in 2018 and 2019.
Panthers athletic director Heather Lyke, in an interview with The Canton Repository earlier this week, said "we're working hard" on a new deal.
"We have a contract very close to being done and being sent to Penn State to extend the football deal," Lyke said. "I think that's a huge priority and a huge rivalry, and it's necessary."
In response, Penn State athletic director Sandy Barbour declined to confirm a newly presented contract. But she didn't nix the idea either.
"As I've said many times before, I have strong appreciation for the history and tradition of the Penn State-Pitt series," Barbour said in a statement Thursday. "Since Heather's arrival at Pitt we've had conversations about the series. We (Penn State) have to determine how any possible future games might fit with our other scheduling requirements and objectives."
Obviously, both fanbases want the rivalry to return after 2019. Penn State and Pitt first met in 1893, the Nittany Lions lead the series 51-43-4, and the two schools played every year from 1935 to 1992.
But the scheduling of the series would be a hurdle, at least in the near future.
Penn State coach James Franklin said at Big Ten media days in Chicago that, "Our schedule is set through 2026 or something like that." The Nittany Lions have one Power 5 nonconference opponent on the slate each year through 2025. After the current deal with Pitt is up, Penn State faces Virginia Tech in 2020 and 2025, Auburn in 2021 and 2022 and West Virginia in 2023 and 2024.
The Nittany Lions have at least one non-conference opening from 2020-25, but taking on two Power 5 nonconference opponents might not be the best scheduling strategy in College Football Playoff era.
Franklin said on Sept. 12 that there's not necessarily a formula to scheduling properly around the playoff. "But I think the most important thing you can do, year in and year out, is schedule in a way that's going to give your team the best chance to win your conference," Franklin said. "Then, everything else will take care of itself from there."
We'll see if a continuation of the Pitt series fits into Penn State's future plans.

Washington, D.C. (November 13, 2012) — America's biopharmaceutical research companies currently are developing 221 innovative new medicines to help the nearly 26 million patients in the United States affected by diabetes.
These medicines in development – all in either clinical trials or under review by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) – include 32 for type 1 diabetes, 130 for type 2 and 64 for diabetes-related conditions, according to a new report released by the Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America (PhRMA).
"Diabetes is a serious chronic disease with far-reaching implications for American patients, families, our health care system and our economy," said PhRMA President and CEO John J. Castellani. "However, diabetes can be controlled through lifestyle interventions. And treatment with medications can also manage and slow the disease. The medicines in the pipeline represent an exciting new chapter in the ongoing quest to better treat this debilitating disease."
Since 1990, six new classes of diabetes type 2 medicines have been approved by FDA, giving patients and providers powerful new tools to treat the condition. America's biopharmaceutical research companies continue to explore many different approaches to battle diabetes [link to backgrounder]. Examples of the potential innovations outlined in the report include:
- A once-daily medicine that selectively inhibits the protein associated with glucose metabolism.
- A medicine designed to inhibit an enzyme linked to diabetic neuropathy.
- A medicine to treat type 2 diabetes that may allow for once-weekly dosing.
One in 10 American adults has diabetes now and as many as one in three could face the disease by 2050 if current trends continue, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The prevalence is expected to rise sharply for a variety of reasons, including an aging population more likely to develop type 2 diabetes, increases in minority groups at high risk for the disease, and longer lifespans among diabetes patients. If left untreated, diabetes can lead to severe health problems and complications, such as heart disease, stroke, vision loss and amputation.
In addition to the terrible human toll associated with these outcomes, the economic consequences of diabetes are enormous. In 2007, the cost of diabetes in the United States was $174 billion. If the additional costs of undiagnosed diabetes ($18 billion), pre-diabetes ($25 billion) and gestational diabetes ($623 million) are factored, the total annual cost of diabetes in the U.S. amounts to $218 billion.
Improved adherence to diabetes medications can lead to better health outcomes and reduced costs. According to recent research, patients with diabetes who do not consistently take their medicines as prescribed are 2.5 times more likely to be hospitalized than those who follow their prescribed treatment regimens more than 80 percent of the time.
In addition, a recent study in Health Affairs projected that improved adherence to diabetes medications could result in more than one million emergency room visits and close to 620,000 hospitalizations annually, for a total potential savings of $8.3 billion annually.
"Many of the human and economic costs associated with diabetes can be avoided, making improvement of patient adherence one of the best opportunities to get better results and greater value from our health care system," Castellani added. "This is by no means an easy task, but stakeholders throughout the health care system – including biopharmaceutical research companies – must work together to tackle this shared objective."
In conjunction with the report, PhRMA is releasing an array of multi-media materials on diabetes research and care, including perspectives from biopharmaceutical researchers, patient groups and professional organizations. A new infographic will appear in a special issue of the Financial Times, slated for release November 14. More information is available on our website (www.phrma.org).

LONDON — The fallout from the Olympic badminton controversy continues. A day after eight players were disqualified for deliberately trying to lose their preliminary-round matches on Tuesday, one of them said she planned to retire.
Yu Yang, one of the two Chinese athletes penalized, said on her blog that she was done competing in a sport she dominated for several years. A two-time Olympic medalist and a world champion in women's doubles, Yu said that she had played her last match.
"Bye, bye, my beloved badminton," Yu wrote on her personal page on Tencent Weibo, a microblogging site. "Goodbye B.W.F.," she said, referring to the Badminton World Federation.
Her abrupt departure made waves Thursday in Wembley Arena, where the tournament's quarterfinal rounds were being played without four players from South Korea, a pair from Indonesia as well as Yu and her partner, Wang Xiaoli. Many in the badminton world were still trying to process Yu's decision to try to lose a match to save energy and to avoid playing another Chinese doubles pair in the next round.
"She's defamed the Olympics, and it's a big disgrace, and maybe it's not her fault or responsibility, but unfortunately this is the result," said Larry Lew, a sportswriter for Sina.com. "She might get further punishment by the local sports administration. Maybe her life is finished."Continue reading the main story
Yu and Wang were among the favorites to win the women's doubles title. Yu won the gold medal in Beijing four years ago, as well as a bronze medal in the mixed doubles. She was the world champion in 2010 and 2011 in the women's doubles and dominated tournaments with her fierce style of play.
"She's physically strong, determined; she had the whole package," said Britain's Gail Emms, a silver medalist in mixed doubles at the 2004 Athens Games, who played against Yu many times. "It could be she just feels it's enough. Would you want to come back to a sport that did that to you?"
Yu is 26 and did not appear to have any extraordinary injuries, though she did say after her match on Tuesday that she was not in the best condition. While some badminton players compete into their 30s, others peak by their mid-20s. In China, there are many younger players ready to replace an older teammate, so the pressure is intense.
Yu, who started playing badminton at 9 years old, faced a long, tough road to success that Emms called "a conveyor belt." The nation's extensive training system requires athletes to work their way up through regional clubs to get to the national team. The competition is so heavy that many Chinese emigrate to France, the Netherlands, Singapore and other countries so they can play in the Olympics.
The Chinese "are very hard core, a lot of repetition in training," said Andy Chong, a former player for Malaysia and the United States who trained with Chinese coaches.
Chong said he did not support what Yu did, but he said he understood why a Chinese coach might ask a player to concede a match. When Chong played in a national tournament in the United States in the 1990s, his coach, who was Chinese, asked him to go easy on an opponent.
"I was told not to win the match, to lose my singles match, because it would hurt his confidence ahead of the Olympics," said Chong, who now coaches at Boston Badminton. "I wasn't surprised because I knew the Chinese tend to do that when they play their own teammates."
Whatever the merits of the strategy, the disqualifications appeared to have tarnished the sport and embarrassed China on the world's biggest sporting stage.
"They want to give the best image and they want to show that China is able to win the gold the right way," said Tarek Hafi, who writes about badminton for several magazines. "It has been a big blow for them, and I guess she has to take the consequences."Continue reading the main story

Sporothrix schenckii
Sporothrix schenckii
colonies growing on Sabouraud's dextrose agar are shown in the upper image on the right. The organisms were obtained from a biopsy of an ulcerating skin lesion of the arm. The lower image is a lactophenol blue mount made from a portion of the colony. The colonies seen growing in the upper image have a gray-green, delicate, cottony consistency. The lactophenol blue mount reveals tiny, ovoid microconidia arranged in a daisy-head pattern at the tip of a straight conidiophore. This appearance is characteristic of the mold form of
Sporothrix schenckii.
By moving the focus up and down in a microscopic preparation, delicate hair-like attachments may be observed for each conidium.
The mold colonies of
Sporothrix schenckii
usually are initially moist and glabrous, almost yeast-like. In time the colony may darken, become wrinkled, folded, and covered with a low downy mycelium. At 37°C, yeast conversion of the colonies occurs, and pigmentation may vary, ranging from gray-yellow, to brown, to brown-black and finally jet black. Thus,
S. schenckii
must be included in the differential identification when an unknown fungus appears as a black yeast.
Sporotrichosis has been referred to as "rose growers' disease," because the organism can be found in rose thorns, as well as sphagnum moss, timbers, and soil.
Sporotrichosis is not endemic to any particular geographic area and occurs worldwide.
Sporothrix schenckii
may enter the body through a thorn prick. A pustule develops and ulcerates. It infects the lymphatic system and, in rare cases, could cause cutaneous lymphangitis. Sporotrichosis then progress up the arm with ulceration, abscess formation, and break down of the abscess with large amounts of pus.
Specimens that may be sent to the laboratory include pus, biopsy material, or sputum from pulmonary patients.
