The Director of Corrections shall cause each person who is newly committed to a state prison to be examined and studied. This includes the investigation of all pertinent circumstances of the person's life such as the existence of any strong community and family ties, the maintenance of which may aid in the person's rehabilitation, and the antecedents of the violation of law because of which he or she has been committed to prison. Any person may be reexamined to determine whether existing orders and dispositions should be modified or continued in force.
Upon the basis of the examination and study, the Director of Corrections shall classify prisoners; and when reasonable, the director shall assign a prisoner to the institution of the appropriate security level and gender population nearest the prisoner's home, unless other classification factors make such a placement unreasonable.
As used in this section, “reasonable” includes consideration of the safety of the prisoner and the institution, the length of term, and the availability of institutional programs and housing.
As used in this section, “prisoner's home” means a place where the prisoner's spouse, parents, or children reside at the time of commitment.
When the diagnostic study of any inmate committed under subdivision (b) of Section 1168 so indicates, the director shall cause a psychiatric or psychological report to be prepared for the Community Release Board prior to the release of the inmate. The report shall be prepared by a psychiatrist or psychologist licensed to practice in this state.
Before the release of any inmate committed under subdivision (b) of Section 1168 , the director shall provide the Community Release Board with a written evaluation of the prisoner.

Non-cardiac chest pain is the term that is used to describe pain in the chest that is not caused by heart disease or a heart attack. In most people, non-cardiac chest pain is related to a problem with the esophagus, such as gastroesophageal reflux disease. Other causes include muscle or bone problems, lung conditions or diseases, stomach problems, stress, anxiety, and depression.
What is non-cardiac chest pain?
Non-cardiac chest pain is the term that is used to describe pain in the chest that is not caused by heart disease or a heart attack.
What does non-cardiac chest pain feel like?
Non-cardiac chest pain is often described as feeling like angina, the chest pain caused by heart disease. The patient feels a pressure or squeezing pain behind the breast bone. Some people also report the pain spreads to the neck, left arm, or back. The pain can last for a few minutes or for hours.
Who gets non-cardiac chest pain?
An episode of non-cardiac chest pain has occurred in as many as 25 percent of adults in the United States. No risk factors have been identified that make a person more likely to get non-cardiac chest pain.
What causes non-cardiac chest pain?
In most people, non-cardiac chest is related to a problem with the esophagus, the tube that connects the mouth with the stomach. There are several different esophagus problems that can cause non-cardiac chest pain.
Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is the most common cause of non-cardiac chest pain. Also called acid reflux, this condition causes 22 to 66 percent of non-cardiac chest pain.
Muscle problems, also called esophageal motility disorders. In people with these problems, abnormal muscle activity in the esophagus prevents food from moving through the esophagus normally. Esophagus muscle problems include uncoordinated muscle contractions (esophageal spasm), high-pressure contractions or squeezing of the esophagus (nutcracker esophagus), and missing contractions caused by nerve loss (achalasia).
Visceral or esophageal hypersensitivity. People with this condition have a lot of pain when there is a very small pressure change in the esophagus or a small amount of stomach acid comes up into the esophagus. People with a normal esophagus would not feel anything from the pressure change or the presence of acid. The reason why some people have this extra sensitivity (hypersensitivity) to pressure or acid is not known.
What other problems can cause non-cardiac chest pain?
Do people with non-cardiac chest pain have other symptoms?
Patients with non-cardiac chest pain also may have heartburn or a bitter taste in the mouth due to stomach fluid “coming up.” In some patients, non-cardiac chest pain occurs after eating. For some patients, non-cardiac chest pain is associated with stress, anxiety, or depression.

If you could meet any fictional character, who would it be and why? Starting off with an almost impossible question for me to answer… as a lover of movies, TV, comic books, regular books, and video games, the number of fictional characters I adore and would love to meet is practically unlimited. I think for this question I’ll have to go with my favorite superhero, Green Lantern, specifically Hal Jordan. Not the normal answer for a favorite superhero I know, but the Lantern Corps has always fascinated me and Hal Jordan was the very first human to take up the mantle so he holds a special place in my heart. His willpower, determination, and kindness make him a good person, and his wit and dry humor match mine very well so the conversation wouldn’t get dull after I got over the “holy crap I’m meeting a superhero” moment.
What’s the most memorable place you’ve ever traveled too? I went to Scotland with my family when I was in High School. I remember stepping off of the airplane and feeling a cool breeze, and taking in a deep breath of the cleanest air I’ve ever breathed. The views were amazing, and while we didn’t go to any fancy events or places we took walks and spent time outdoors as a family, and it felt great.
What’s your favorite board/card/video game? Another tough question, I’m going to give one answer for each category. My favorite board game right now has to be Ticket to Ride, though Settlers of Catan is a close second. As for card games, I would say Cards Against Humanity and Exploding Kittens are tied for the top spot. Finally there’s video games- Witcher 3 is my favorite “new” game while Super Smash Bros. would be my favorite “classic” game. I know I was supposed to pick one and ended up choosing 6, but that’s what happens when you’re a fan of all things nerdy.
Describe your perfect weekend? It would start off with drinks and board games with good friends on Friday, followed by a Saturday out with my girlfriend doing any number of different things (movies, skiing, museums, laser tag, the list goes on). Then on Sunday I would get up and go to church, come home after and watch football all day. Doesn’t get any better than that.
Why did you want to start blogging in the first place? I think the main reason I started blogging is because I wanted a creative outlet for myself. I’ve always had a passion for board games, even so much that I’ve considered opening up a board game shop at some point in my life. I talked with some friends and family about it and decided that I needed to immerse myself in the world before I made a leap like that. I’ve always enjoyed writing, and while I wasn’t sure what it would be like to write a blog I have enjoyed it immensely and hope to continue it for many years to come.
If you could learn one new skill in life, what would it be and why?
Have you ever considered writing a blog about something other than your usual topics? If so, what about?
What is your favorite type of game, between board game/card game/video game?

There are a lot of dedicated designers and conceptual artists out there who take their work quite seriously. Their time is measured in their latest project, and even if it takes them 10 years to finish something, they see it as invested equity in their art, which will add to the value of the artwork itself. I don’t know what the formula is exactly, but I am sure it’s something like this that artist’s work against. The longer something takes to create, the more thought they will have poured into it. As a result, the project should have a better chance of getting some major attention. I have always wondered how they keep their focus during the really long projects, but I guess until I know what I am talking about, I will never understand. Maybe it’s just pure dedication and inspiration. That goes along way, I tell you!
Artist and paper extraordinaire Jonathan Brand is in a league of his own. I have never, and I mean NEVER, seen something or someone so dedicated to their trade as this guy. Jonathan is actually in the process of building a life-size Ford Mustang Coupe entirely out of paper. Yes, that’s right. Every part of it, down to the very last bolt, will be made out of paper.
Not only is it made out of paper, Jonathan has also incorporated magnets to make sure that everything will be able to be put together when all the parts are finished. The video demonstrates this and some of the parts (the spark plug is AMAZING) that Jonathan has already created. I thought Diana’s and my work here at Bit Rebels took some dedication, but DAMN! This guy must have the patience of… I don’t know what! It’s just mind boggling how much time he must have spent so far on this thing. He estimates the build to take somewhere between 7-8 years. We’re talking years here! What is the longest amount of time you have ever spent on a design, drawing or just anything creative? I bet you’re not even getting close to that long, are you?

The NSW Government is funding this project to ease congestion and improve travel time on Sydney’s busiest corridors.
Roads and Maritime Services will continue work on this project. For details of work completed and work coming up, please view the March 2019 project update (PDF, 346Kb).
Several pedestrian detours are in place within the project site. Until the end of June 2019, there will be a temporary footpath closure along the western side of Princes Highway between Oak and Bath roads. Pedestrians will need to walk down Oak Road, along Monro Avenue and up Bath Road as a detour while this closure is in place. There will be no impact to residential driveway access.
Road users are currently experiencing congestion due to high volumes of vehicles travelling along the corridor and turning right at the intersections of Acacia Road, Oak Road and Kingsway. In addition, there are currently high volumes of vehicles travelling in both directions on President Avenue and the Princes Highway. These delays are caused by turning vehicles blocking through traffic.
This project aims to ease congestion at these intersections and improve journey reliability for all road users.
completed President Avenue work with new medians, upgraded turning lanes, new lights and right turn peak hours ban to improve traffic flow.
Construction of a southbound slip lane at Kingsway, and opening of third right turn bay onto Kingsway for eastbound traffic.
Night work will continue along Princes Highway and Acacia Road.
Set up of an additional site compound on the corner of The Boulevarde and Wandella Road, Miranda.
Drainage work at Acacia Road south will continue.
Traffic light upgrades will continue in stages.
Construction of the service road will continue.
Construction of the retaining walls on the service road along Princes Highway.
Roads and Maritime invited feedback on the proposal in May and June.2017. A total of 220 submissions were received in response to the display of the Review of Environmental Factors (REF). This included one submission from the Sutherland Shire Council, and 219 submissions from the community. Of the total submissions, 19 were in support of the proposal, two opposed the proposal, 142 did not state a preference on the proposal, and 56 were not relevant to this proposal (ie concerned other proposals of the Gateway to the South Pinch Point Program, or more general road network improvements).

Sorry i couldn’t reply soon was away for a month on vacation. The loading count is a feature of Flash and not something i had added. The loading count shows percentage of image that has been loaded on your browser. The initializing of the images depends on the network or internet speed at the customers system so it could vary from one to another for the Dashboard to load. Hope i answered your question.
Can you send me this flash variable dashboard source file ?
After looked at your dashboard created by using flash variable, I’m very interested to know how you do the “Loading” count before the images shown on the dashboard.
Do you mind to share?

Today: Laundry, packing, last minute trips to the studio, second cup of maté, lunch outside, a short run, early to bed (which is what I say now, but we all know I'll see the clock strike midnight).
Tomorrow: 6 am breakfast with BC, a morning flight to Boise, second cup of coffee and a three hour drive up into the Rockies to visit for the week with one of my very favorite birds.
That's right folks, Idaho or Bust.
I'm charging the camera battery right now.
In other news, the Illustrious Mme. Bookling has put a self-care challenge to all the ladies who, ehem, may or may not always take the best care of themselves. The challenge is, for one week, to mindfully indulge in some sort of self-care every day. Today, for me, that meant blowing off the omni-present to-do list for an hour and making something just for me. Not for my upcoming shows, not for wholesale orders, not for the Etsy shop, but just for me. And let me tell you, it was DAMN satisfying. I really need to do it more often.
Because every gal needs a new shirt for the air/road tripping. I've seen so many fabulous embellished tees lately, and really wanted to try my hand at something with ruffles and folds. Whaa La! Airport security won't know what hit 'em!
One of the strangest things to me about photographs is how small they seem. Standing on that bridge, a sharp wind blowing bits of spray onto my cheeks, the evergreens crowding my nostrils, the mating calls of song birds persistently ringing above the thundering of the waterfall, I felt so tiny. The trees canopied over my head, and I could see so far from my little wooden perch, the entire river laid out like an eternity below me.
I faced off with a humming bird, but as we were of equal size, we were an equal match. For ten long minutes we sized each other up, I bound to the ground, standing in the midst of the most beautiful swarm of golden gnats, the humming bird high in a tree, sitting frozen one second, buzzing threateningly the next, red breast flickering flames in the sunlight.
I saw my first trillium of the season, no small event for my year. I keep noticing trilliums in my dreams. As I'm hiking through brittle snow, I look down and dozens of bright white petals are springing up around my feet, I look closer and see that the snow is just a thin layer of ice and I am actually walking above the treetops of some underground world. I realize if I stomp and crack that ice, the trilliums and I will fall through in one brilliant tumble of blooms like a bird shot in flight.
I sat quietly before three totem trees. Gnarled and twisting, eyes raised like the saints, each seemed to hold a thousand faces. Ferns sprouted twenty feet up in every which direction, the unruly hair of the elderly. I tried to listen, but my young ears could not be silent long enough to hear their song, so instead I bowed and promised to return with a more patient spirit.
*Attend First Thursday Art Openings (saying "Hello" to a little, tiny piece I have up in a group show of artist sketches).
*Become misty eyed in public looking at the most provocatively beautiful show of photography I've seen in a long time.
*Swing by my favorite neighborhood wine shop for a bottle of vino, picked out by the trusty owner.
*Drink said red wine and read poetry while sitting with my kitty boys (yes, I've completely become that woman).
*Hand wash my lady wear (I am a huge believer in small luxuries, like quality undergarments that make you feel like goddess even when you're wearing your scruffies).
*Spend an unmentionable about of time browsing the gazillion pages of Etsy, trying very hard to not press "Buy."
*Whip up a batch of brownies, which happen to smell AMAZING right this very second!
Looking back over that list it appears I have forgotten to eat dinner. BUT what is truly fabulous, is that in the spirit of Total Chick Night, I think I'll whip up nothing but a massive bowl of steamed spinach, a plate of strawberries, and a healthy hunk of dill-havarti cheese. FABULOUS!
As a total side note, BC and I played a game of "would you rather do this or this" last night and after serious debate, the results were in. If I had it to do over again, and my career choices were to be a professional golfer or an extreme cage fighter, I would land punches like none other. There is no way I could ever see myself in a tidy polo with my Nike sponsorship and perfectly straight pony tail (not that there is anything wrong with golf, mind you! Actually I think it is the much wiser choice. And it's what BC picked). No, not for me. I'd be the scrappy one in the rawhide outfit with rhinestones,throwing out roundhouse kicks that would make Chuck Norris proud. Absolutely.
So what would you be?

It takes an average of four to six months to build the typical new construction home and in the homebuilding business, time is money. Complicating the issue for most builders is a shortage of skilled tradespeople, including framing carpenters, the constraints of weather-related delays, and countless other risks associated with construction sites. However, evolving building processes like offsite manufacturing can dramatically improve the homebuilding process, resulting in myriad benefits to builders and homeowners. Insulation Institute recently spoke with Gerard “Gerry” McCaughey, Chief Executive and Chairman of Entekra, which offers a fully integrated offsite construction solution. While there are many benefits to the process, we highlight four undeniably appealing ones for builders.
Reducing the construction time for any home builder is advantageous for many reasons, but foremost is increasing cost-effectiveness. McCaughey says his two-year-old California firm employs engineers and architects to design and develop computer aided-design (CAD drawings) and specs to create templates that become the structural shell of the new home. The shell is then delivered and ready to assemble at the home site. “Typically for builders, it takes 15 to 25 days to frame a home,” McCaughey said. “Our manufacturing process for cutting the wood panels, floor panels, roof trusses, and all the other relevant material in a factory-controlled setting and then delivering them to the site dramatically reduces that framing time to four days.” According to McCaughey, this saves the builder anywhere from $200 to $1,000 per day in labor costs on a 2,500 square foot house.
We’ve talked a lot here at Insulation Institute about the challenges some builders are having meeting the 3ACH 50 blower door testing requirement in newer versions of the IECC. We hear over and over that getting the airtightness levels required by the code starts with framing. McCaughey believes that the lack of basic building science knowledge among framers comes at a cost to builders pursuing energy efficient building envelopes. “Using modern, precision technology and a more integrated approach to building in a controlled manufacturing facility means consistent quality and better structural integrity,” he noted.
Without careful oversight by a construction superintendent, HERS rater, or other quality assurance contact for the builder, a home’s framing can have unintended holes that can compromise air tightness and long-term structural durability.
Material waste is not only expensive, it’s also antithetical to what most energy efficient, high- performance builders value most: sustainability.
It’s estimated that excess or unused wood alone accounts for 40 percent of job site waste.  There’s a multiplier effect to consider with larger developments, but this waste (and the cost associated with it) is eliminated with off-site manufacturing.
Off-site manufacturing reduces weather-related delays, and associated damage and one of the biggest threats to home durability is moisture. For example, with traditional wood framing, experts recommend wood moisture content of no more than 15 to 19 percent. Higher than that and you’re setting the stage for moisture-related problems like wood rot and mold, so protecting wood framing is critical, which can be tough with on-site construction outdoors.
Offsite construction, however, eliminates weather-related construction problems altogether.
McCaughey says off-site construction is much more popular in Europe than it is here in the U.S., but that will likely change. The ability to solve one of the most pressing issues builders have, lack of skilled labor, is a strong value proposition that Entekra and companies like it can leverage.

Have you ever planned for something so diligently that you can only laugh when the day arrives and it turns out the universe has vastly different plans? And after a few brief moments of anxiety that things aren’t following a carefully constructed blueprint (at least, not your carefully constructed blueprint), you realize that the new circumstances are even more marvelous than you possibly could have planned for?
When Casie got in touch about photographing an intimate wedding in November, I was delighted to be a part of it. November is a gorgeous time to get married in Austin (though maybe I'm biased because that's when I got married). We scoped the grounds of the Wildflower Center for all its lovely nooks and crannies, searching for ones with the ideal lighting for portraits. We found, if I say so myself, some perfect spots. Fast forward to the week of the wedding. Freezing. Rain. Cold. Wind. The morning of, I arrived to the Wildflower Center early. Not a ray of sunshine to be found. The wind was so strong that the original ceremony location was out of the question unless the lovebirds wanted to end up in Oz.
But when Casie, Nolan, and Caleb arrived, the sun came out. We found a beautiful spot for the ceremony that shielded everyone from the strong winds, and we scoped out even MORE incredible locations with delightful light. Everything was different than we’d planned, but it was just as it should have been.
May your wedding be a testament to how you will face the unexpected in your journey as husband and wife- with grace, adaptability, and of course, lots of laughter. Thank you for letting me be a part of your amazing day!

This type of lift is most commonly used for heavier cars such as trucks or vans. Unlike the post and the scissor types which lift on a straight vertical path the parallelogram lifts the vehicle with a minor forward movement. Once you have chosen a type of alignment lift based on the lifting mechanism you next have to make your mind up on whether you want a flush-mount or a surface-mount lift. A flush-mounted alignment lift is installed into a recess in the shop or garage floor. A surface-mounted lift is placed on the surface of the floor. One of the advantages of a flush-mounted alignment lift is that you dont need any drive-on ramp extensions. This will make available any alignment bay to be at least four feet shorter than it would have to be with a surface-mounted lift.

Has he looked at the brake schematics to make sure there were no systems preventing the cars wheels from Sc Car Auctions locking up? He told us he had removed all these systems and fitted new brake lines through out the car. Ok at this point we were scratching our heads!! One of our technicians asked me has he removed the ABS I could not remember asking a direct question on that however we had discussed removing all systems that would prevent the wheels from locking. So I asked him “Have you removed the ABS from the car”? I am sure you can guess what he said “No he is still running the ABS”. Ok now we have the solution to the problem.

Remember that everyone trading is best about perceived price. I have seen second hand items sell for more than the fresh ones on Ebay just because individuals experience a certain expectation on Ebay and that’s that items are inexpensive – or at least cheaper. This does not mean you have to inflate your prices. It does however mean that you understand exactly what’s available on the market and how much it is very promoting for. Now the simple way is in a position to you actually beat this and convince those who they should buy from you actually – even if your item is more expensive? Free shipping? 10% reduction on his or her following purchase? Whenever possible chat at the other seasoned dealers at the auctions to % up some smart insider guidelines. These people is in a position to frequently tell Sc Car Auctions you really which kind of automobile sells out the quickest.

It is a well-known psychological trick that overuse of a word is often done with the purpose of being permanently associated with it through subliminal suggestion. I don’t profess to know what is in Obama’s heart, and you should be wary of anyone in the media who says they do. But I don’t believe it is an accident that he uses this word over and over again so that he may mildly brainwash everyone to believe he is the only candidate who cares about you getting a fair shot. Political strategists certainly know and would advise him to use such a tactic. Disingenuous or not, it is effective.
However, let’s take a look at this from a skeptical point of view and analyze what it presumes. If he is saying this as a means of promoting himself above another candidate, then that means he is also saying other candidates do not want you to have a fair shot. If they all believe in fairness, then there’s no more point in bringing it up, right? For instance, no candidate campaigns on the platform of prosecuting murderers because we all want that, and saying so, would not set that candidate apart from their competitors.
So this then means that, in selling himself as the candidate of fairness, Obama is asserting that Mitt Romney, a devout Mormon who donated his father’s inheritance to the church so that it could be used to help those less fortunate and so that he could earn his own way instead, somehow only wants rich people to succeed and poor people to stay poor. Is this narrative starting to sound pretty ridiculous yet?
Let’s dig a little deeper. How do rich people get rich? They sell products or services. The richest of the rich sell products to the masses. The late Enzo Ferrari likely made a pretty centesimo, but he was nowhere near the financial status of a Bill Gates for instance. If poor people stay poor, can they buy a Windows computer?
So if some conspiracy theorist is ignorant enough to believe that all rich people get together in some sort of bourgeois yacht club meeting and collude to keep the proletariat down, then explain to me how they benefit by impoverishing their intended customers.
The idea that rich people benefit from everyone else being poor only works in a socialist model where the rich can forcefully take from the poor, and force them into servitude, not a capitalist one where the rich depend on the masses to buy their goods.
I am to wealth what a McDonald’s Hamburger is to a steak. But I am increasingly disgusted with the idea that the boogeyman is synonymous with a capitalist. Because, while I may not be rich, I have goals and dreams that include becoming wealthy one day, and I’m not about to be told I’m a bad person for wanting it or that I’ll be a bad person if I attain it.
I believe everyone is a greedy capitalist. Some aren’t willing to work as hard as others, some aren’t willing to work as honestly as others, and some refuse to believe that people richer than them deserve more for their efforts. Apathy, jealousy, complacency, and sometimes just dumb luck prevent most of us from achieving our dreams. But we all want more than what we have, we all want success. Then, once we’ve achieved it, we all want control how it is shared with others.
So while I credit Obama with a smart tactic, and let’s not lie to ourselves, it is working with those who don’t bother to put a critical eye to it as I have done, it is still just a psychological trick, not an indication of someone who understands how to make America better through hard work, critical thinking, and an honest assessment of the historical evidence of socialism versus capitalism.
We know socialism has no successful models to point to, yet he promotes socialistic policies. We know that over-regulation causes business owners to pull their money into their proverbial turtle shell until the “predator” passes by instead of investing, hiring, and growing the economy, yet he pushes the EPA and OSHA farther and farther into territory they were never intended to occupy at the peril of every entrepreneur trying to become a productive part of America. We know that forcing people to be self-sufficient by kicking them out of the nest works, yet by advocating more entitlements instead of less, he continues to enable those who would rather be on a permanent government funded vacation.

IMO says the Sub-Committee on Human Element, Training and Watchkeeping (HTW 5), meeting at IMO Headquarters (16-20 July), will continue its work to review the minimum standards of competence set out in the treaty in order to bring them up to date and reflect realities in the fishing industry. The STCW-F treaty was adopted in 1995 and entered into force in 2012. It is a key pillar among the international instruments addressing fishing vessel safety.
The Sub-Committee will also continue its work to update and revise the Guidelines on Fatigue to improve better understanding of fatigue and fatigue risk management and to reflect current fatigue and sleep research and best practices of fatigue mitigation.
Other items on the agenda include implementation of the 2010 amendments to the STCW Convention; validation of 11 IMO model courses; and further topics under IMO’s on-going work on the human element. The meeting was opened by IMO Secretary-General Kitack Lim and is being chaired by Ms. Mayte Medina (United States).

There is an interesting correlation between the number of CLL research papers published each year over the last few decades and the percentage of CRs obtained by therapies available during that time period. Not all that hard to understand, it is no fun doing research on a cancer where there was little progress and patients kept dying no matter what. Now there is a smell of success in the air, a real chance that we may be able to prolong life, perhaps even cure some of the patients. CLL is becoming a fashionable cancer to study. The focus on CLL and other cancers of the immune system (the AIDS epidemic had something to do with it as well) is paying off handsomely, extrapolating as well into other immune system related areas such as Lupus, MS, diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, even the "heartbreak of psoriasis".
Sometimes it helps to look back to see how things were done in the past. We can see just how far we have come (and how far we have yet to go!) Not that long ago, in your father's generation, the standard of care for newly diagnosed CLL patients was to do nothing until the symptoms got really bad. The official label for this is "Watch & Wait", and it was in keeping with the physician's oath "Above all, do no harm". Jump starting therapy made no sense when there were few options - very often the drugs available back then created more problems than they solved.
Along came purine analogs in the early 1980s, the most famous of them being fludarabine ("Fludara"). Monoclonal antibodies came on the scene in the late 1990s. Suddenly, therapies based on combinations of fludarabine with monoclonal antibodies like Rituxan and Campath are all the rage now since they increase the response rates dramatically. CR ("complete response") rates went from 10% with chlorambucil to 60%-70% with the newer drug combos using fludarabine and monoclonal antibodies. Even more encouraging, some of these CRs were really robust responses. A significant percentage of lucky patients had no trace of detectable disease even when tested with our best and most sensitive methods.
Not only are we seeing a real change in the nature of the drugs and therapies, we are also getting more ambitious in how we define success. As things stand, the official designation of "CR" can be given even when the patient has as much as 30% lymphocytes in the bone marrow. Hardly a "complete response", from a layperson perspective! Similarly, patients with little nodules in their bone marrow biopsy are considered to be in partial nodular remission ("NPR"), with no distinction being made between real CLL cells in the nodules versus non-cancerous T-cells. In other words, many patients considered to be in CR by current criteria can still harbor a lot of leukemic cells in their bone marrow, whereas others who are deemed to be in partial response ("PR") may be a lot closer to a "real" CR.
Another fly in the ointment in classifying responses is the severity of side effects caused by some of these aggressive combo therapies. They have more punch, but at the cost of increased hematological toxicity. Cytopenias such as neutropenia and anemia, for example, are pretty common. Patients with these therapy-related problems are classified as PRs, even if there is no trace of CLL left behind. It might make sense to mandate an official waiting period so that patients have a chance to recover from treatment-related cytopenias before evaluating their response and so that these often short-lived cytopenias do not get in the way of accurate classification of their CLL response.
Reflecting our new found optimism, well regarded researchers are suggesting that we expand the response classification to include MRD-negative CR. This means no trace of disease, no "Minimum Residual Disease", even when we look for it with our best methods. Obviously, we need to standardize the methods used to look for MRD. The two contenders right now are allele-specific polymerase chain reaction ("PCR") and four-color cytometry. The time has come to include MRD-negative CR (also called PCR negative status) in the line-up of response classifications. Next stop, I would like to see the word "CURED" in the official list of possible responses to therapy. You agree? I thought you would.
Going the Extra Distance for "MRD-negative CR" Response: Does this Translate into Longer Life?
This is a tough question to answer. The good news is that we are beginning to chip away at the problem and coming up with useful answers. Below is the abstract of an excellent paper that has just been published in the Journal of Clinical Oncology. I will review the highlights of it for you, but if you are contemplating Campath therapy (do remember, Campath and "Alemtuzumab" are the same thing) in the near future you may want to read the full article. Write to us and we will help you locate the full text version of the article. This edition of the JCO also has a terrific editorial by Emili Montserrat, with overview comments on the Moreton paper. It is worth reading as well.
PURPOSE: To test whether eradication of minimal residual disease (MRD) in B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) by alemtuzumab is associated with a prolongation of treatment-free and overall survival.
PATIENTS AND METHODS: Ninety-one previously treated patients with CLL (74 men and 17 women; median age, 58 years [range, 32 to 75 years]; 44 were refractory to purine analogs) received a median of 9 weeks of alemtuzumab treatment between 1996 and 2003. Regular bone marrow assessments by MRD flow cytometry were performed with the aim of eradicating detectable MRD ( 1 CLL cell in 105 normal cells).
RESULTS: Responses according to National Cancer Institute-sponsored working group response criteria were complete remission (CR) in 32 patients (36%), partial remission (PR) in 17 patients (19%), and no response (NR) in 42 patients (46%). Twenty-two (50%) of 44 purine analog-refractory patients responded to alemtuzumab. Detectable CLL was eradicated from the blood and marrow in 18 patients (20%). Median survival was significantly longer in MRD-negative patients compared with those achieving an MRD-positive CR, PR, or NR. Patients achieving an MRD-negative CR had a longer treatment-free survival than patients with MRD-positive CRs, PR, or NR: MRD-negative CRs, not reached; MRD-positive CRs, 20 months; PRs, 13 months; NR, 6 months (P .0001). Overall survival for the 18 patients with MRD-negative remissions was 84% at 60 months. Eight (47%) of the MRD-negative patients converted to MRD positivity at a median of 28 months.
CONCLUSION: MRD-negative remission in CLL is achievable with alemtuzumab, leading to an improved overall and treatment-free survival.
Does elimination of minimum residual disease by Campath therapy improve progression free survival?
And even more important from our perspective, does it improve overall survival?
In this cohort of pretty heavily pre-treated patients with poor prognosis, the answer to both questions seems to be a very encouraging "Yes". Now for the details - what makes this study valuable and the results credible.
This study covers a time span of 7 years, from 1996 to 2003. Ninety one previously treated CLL patients received Campath therapy (an average of 9 weeks of therapy). You know what they say, the laughs you get as a stand-up comic depends on how tough the audience is. The same concept applies in CLL clinical trials as well. We know all too well that there are many flavors of CLL, some are easy to deal with and some are tough S.O.B.s right from the start. The patient cohort of this clinical trial was a tough crowd. 44 out of the 91 of the patients were tagged with the ominous label "fludarabine refractory". Some of the other patient characteristics are given in the table below. This is how the patients stacked up, before the start of this study. As you can see, roughly half the patients were in Rai stage IV, two-thirds had swollen lymph nodes, a similar number had a swollen spleen and just about half had flunked fludarabine. The majority of them had been through several layers of therapy prior to getting into this clinical trial. There are a lot more details given in the full text article.
Patients got Campath 30 mg three times a week until they got the best possible response for that patient. Patients with a mere "CR" by full blown blood and bone marrow examination continued getting Campath until either the CLL or the patient cried "uncle!" In other words, therapy was continued until the patient achieved the desired goal of "MRD negative CR" response with no sign of the CLL anywhere; with the condition that therapy was stopped if the patient's disease got worse or if he/she had trouble tolerating it. 84 patients got intravenous Campath and seven patients received it as a subcutaneous injection.
Campath therapy is no cake walk. The precautionary measures taken in this study to protect patients may well form the definition of "best practices" in Campath therapy. For that reason, I will report the details here - you can use this as a cheat sheet to make sure you are getting the right protection when it is your turn to step up to Campath therapy.
Patients received cotrimoxazole (or an alternative, remember this is a Brit study and you may have to ask your oncologist for the local equivalent) as Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia protection.
Acyclovir 200 mg twice daily as protection against herpes viruses.
Premedication with paracetamol 1 g orally (same as Tylenol) and chlorpheniramine 10 mg intravenously (similar to Sudafed) was administered to all patients.
Therapy was withheld if the neutrophil counts fell below 250, or if the platelets crashed below 25 or if there was a serious infection.
G-CSF (Neupogen) was given three times a week when the neutrophil count decreased below 1,000, and this was enough to do the trick in the majority of patients.
Patients were monitored each week for the reactivation of the dreaded cytomegalovirus (CMV), a perennial favorite of Campath users. Patients with a positive CMV test result received intravenous ganciclovir. Most often, Campath was stopped while patients were getting the ganciclovir therapy; exception was made if the patient was completely asymptomatic for CMV.
Patients were assessed with physical examination every 4 weeks during therapy and at the end of therapy.
The table below summarizes the infusion related complications, as well as infections during the Campath therapy. Bear in mind these patients have all been through a lot therapy already, hardly your average healthy chemo naive patient group. Even with that caveat, it is sobering to see the high percentage of patients who had infusion related problems. I wonder if these stats would have been different if all of the patients got subcutaneous Campath injections rather than the intravenous infusions. I guess the earlier patients in this study (remember, this study ran for 7 years, from 1996 through 2003) got intravenous infusions before researchers figured out the sub-q versions is easier to take.
This represents all infections during and up to 1 month after completion of Campath therapy.
Grade 1-2 is mild stuff, compared to Grade 3-4 which is a lot more serious.
Less frequent adverse events included fatigue (11%), headache (4%), dizziness (3%), bronchospasm (2%), and diarrhea (2%). Most often things got better by the end of week 3 of therapy. Not included in the table above, 48% of the patients had neutropenia (below 1,000 counts), and 30% had neutrophil counts dive below the 500 level. 20% of the patients needed the Neupogen support. Thrombocytopenia (low platelet counts) occurred in 73% of the patients, and in 46% of the patients platelet counts got lower than 50. Some of the patients were taking corticosteroids (prednisone and the like), 18 out of 31 patients (58%) who used corticosteroids developed infections, compared to the much lower number of 21 out of 60 (35%) who did not get steroids. It seems clear, patients who received steroids along with Campath were more likely to get infections.
Now that we have waded through all the side effects and complications, time to see the good stuff. Was there bang for the buck, reason to justify going for squeaky clean, no trace left, MRD negative CR response? Pictures tell the story a lot better than words and I borrowed two of the graphs in the paper.
It is very clear by now that the Achilles' heel of Campath therapy is swollen lymph nodes. Guys with baseball size lymph nodes (actually, 5 cm or larger) did not do so well. If there were no swollen lymph nodes, or they were modest size, the response to Campath therapy was much better. Moral of the story, you may want to consider other options if you have king-size nodes. The overall survival for folks with large lymph nodes is hardly enough to justify the downside of Campath therapy, there were hardly any of these guys left to tell the story a year later. Not so the folks with small or no lymph nodes. I am particularly interested to see the flattening out of the survival curves, suggesting that past the 3-4 year mark these folks were home free, maybe. Dare we say, "Cured"?
How does getting an MRD negative CR response strategy work out, as compared to pulling the plug on therapy a little sooner? There is a startling difference between patients who got an MRD negative CR, versus those that got a CR, but not good enough to be MRD negative. In other words, if you are tolerating the therapy pretty well and the response is looking good, it might be worthwhile to hang in there and go an extra few rounds until you got the desirable MRD negative CR. As you can see, close to 90% of people with MRD negative response were still around, 6 to 7 years later. Not bad at all, for a heavily pretreated and late Rai stage group of patients!
Below is an abbreviated chart showing how patients with different characteristics going into this Campath clean-up did. You will have to read the full text article to get all the details. Looking at the half-full glass for a change, it is encouraging to know that a significant portion of "tough cases" - older patients, patients with late Rai-stage disease, even those who have flunked fludarabine therapy earlier on - achieved the coveted MRD negative CR response. Before the advent of monoclonals like Campath, there was a scary feeling to the words "fludarabine refractory". There were few good options past that point, with the exception of bone marrow transplants. I expect that the majority of patients who have developed drug resistance to fludarabine are "Bucket C" folks with ATM (11q) or p53 (17p) abnormalities, and few drugs worked for them. The difference now is that we have Campath, which seems to be able to kill CLL cells with or without the help of the ATM and p53 genes. Before the advent of Campath, less than 10% of fludarabine refractory patients would be expected to survive 5 years, and the most startling finding of this study is this: even in fludarabine refractory patients, those that got MRD-negative response are surviving much longer!
There are several things I like about this paper. The authors are to be congratulated for staying the course. It is no easy job to run a clinical trial that stretches over 7 years. I also liked the detailed characterization of the patient group. If one were to stoop to the practice of "cherry-picking", it is all too easy to get together a patient cohort that is "easy", report eye-popping statistics without going into all the caveats. This study is not a full-blown phase III trial either, which would need a well-matched control group. Frankly, it is becoming increasingly difficult to do such comparative studies. How can one ethically deny patients in the control group access to drugs like Campath, when it is becoming clear that they can give good responses as well as increase overall survival? As a single-arm study, the fact that the patient cohort in this study was such a difficult one and well characterized is very important in judging the results. That a significant number of fludarabine refractory patients were able to get MRD negative CRs is truly impressive, and the statistical significance of this result cannot be denied.
The infusion related toxicities, infections and cytopenias are sobering, I am glad to see the details of the protective measures taken spelled out. If your local oncologist is a little lax on the details of how Campath should be administered, I suggest you make him a present of the hard copy of the full text Moreton, et al., paper.
I know several of the authors of this paper have also published on the topic of intravenous infusion of Campath compared to subcutaneous injections. Presumably the patients recruited earlier in this study did not get the benefit of hindsight. It seems clear that sub-q administration of Campath is a lot easier on patients. I wish the authors had taken the trouble to spell out this important detail, in this paper as well.
There is one definite negative result in this study. Patients with large lymph nodes do not do well on Campath therapy, as it is currently practiced. That is too bad, because a very substantial percentage of patients with poor prognosis or late stage disease have large lymph nodes. What are the options for these patients? I hope the researchers are looking at ways of improving responses in such cases. New research reports suggest it might be possible to flush out CLL cells out of the lymph nodes and into the peripheral blood, by means of using mobilizing agents such as G-CSF, GM-CSF, AMD-3100, or by interfering with homing mechanisms that use SDF-1/CXCR-4 interactions. Is the problem one of access, a case of the fat lady not being able to get in through a narrow door? Do bulky lymph nodes pose a problem because the large Campath molecules cannot get in through all the nooks and crannies of lymph node architecture? Or is the problem due to "nurse like cells" and the microenvironment of the lymph nodes that makes it harder to kill CLL cells? Do we need to make the next generation Campath-like drugs smaller molecules so that they can get in more easily, or do we have to make the drugs more potent so that even nurse-like cells cannot protect CLL cells from death?
We have reviewed in a previous article the interesting work coming from Long Island Jewish Hospital. The "heavy water" experiment reported by Chiorazzi, et. al. has shed interesting light on the life of CLL cells. It seems they are not quite as indolent as we thought. They multiply at a pretty fast clip. Knowing details like this is very important if we are to have a chance of improving therapy options. Campath is an extremely important drug in our arsenal and I am dismayed we still do not have a good handle on the pharmacokinetics of this monoclonal. Berlex / Schering AG and Genzyme/Ilex would be well served to fund such studies. Yeah, I know all the excuses, red tape, expenses, it is hard to get human volunteers for such studies, yada yada. But what is the excuse for not doing detailed studies of this sort, with radio-labeled Campath in mouse or primate studies? It is no longer good enough to say Campath does not work very well for lymph nodes, we need to know more about why this is so, and come up with ways to get around the problem.
All in all, a credible and well conducted study by some of the best experts in the field, all the more valuable because the full details have been promptly reported. Take a bow, gentlemen.

Amoe Manigi believes in a very simple philosophy.
“If you’re too lazy to work, you shouldn’t eat from other people’s work,” he said.
Amoe Manigi, from the village of Satitoa, is a farmer.
The 24-year-old works his plantation right throughout the week to support his parents and family.
“I work with all the strength in my body because I was taught to help out the family and to take care of my parents,” he told the Village Voice.
But he wasn’t always a determined farmer. Growing up, Amoe had a little taste of life and realized that hard work is better than wasting time.
“I just started the life of a farmer recently and I know it’s nowhere close to being enough,” he said.
Hard work is the life of a young farmer but that doesn’t bother Amoe one bit.
“My brother and sister in Apia are the only two in the family who have jobs,” he said.
“It’s just my parents and I at home along with a few other family members. I’m not facing any problems right now in taking care of my family.
“The only thing I find hard is motivating myself to come out and do the hard work.
According to Amoe, his family is doing alright because they currently run a shop which generates a bit of profit.
“My family has enough money right now because we also run a shop,” he said.

Memorial Day is a federal holiday in the United States in remembrance of the people who died while serving in the country’s armed forces. It is observed the last Monday of May.
Originally, there were two different holidays celebrated by the North and the South to honor their Civil War dead in 1868. After World War One, the two holidays were combined to honor all Americans who died while in the military service.
Veterans Day, which honors all U.S. veterans, is celebrated annually on November 11th–the day that WWI officially ended. V-E Day (Victory in Europe), May 8th, 1945 is the date United States and Great Britain celebrated defeating the Nazi war machine.
We at Chanticleer Reviews are honored to present four excellent reads that exemplify the honor and courage of the men and women who serve in the U.S. military. For information about each book, please click on the link provided.
Escape routes became instrumental as more and more Allied airmen were shot down in Nazi-occupied France. Getting these men back to English soil was more than just humanitarian aid; it was imperative to get these highly trained aviators back into the fight for freedom against the Nazi forces as quickly as possible. We learn that other escape routes had been infiltrated and collapsed due to Nazi-sympathizers.
Réanne Hemingway-Douglass has gathered this galvanizing collection of true-accounts, vividly portrayed historical details, and military tactics of these little known, but amazing, slices of WWII history. Her adept writing reminds the reader of the human elements of war. Highly recommended.
The often-unknown role of women in wartime as travel nurses and pilots, as well as the use of herbs for natural healing, adds interesting and relative historical content to the story. The WASP pilots and their active role in the war effort was particularly fascinating reflecting Shawgo’s vigilance with her medical and military history research.
After the prologue shows Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941, establishing the World War II setting, the story begins on September 23, 1940 in New York.
Readers may find it interesting that Shawgo, along with being an award winning novelist, is also a travel nurse who goes where and when she is needed for national disasters.
For those who suffer from PTSD, understanding that they are not alone and that they can help themselves is a huge step toward embracing a recovery program. Oelerich, as one who has experienced combat and traumatic events, wrote this book as a “How To” guide for combat soldiers, like himself, who suffer from PTSD.
Christopher Oelerich relates his own personal history, beginning from when he was drafted into the military during the Vietnam War, and continuing through his return to civilian life and his own rocky road to recovery.
A riveting portrayal of the lives of children whose parents serve in the armed forces. Being a teenager is hard enough, but adding the constant uprooting and moving from base to base adds its own unique challenges as well as rewards.
The story focuses around young Stephen, a “military brat”—a term that these children use to distinguish themselves from their civilian counterparts. Stephen finds himself uprooted once again from his most recent home in California and moved across the country to Quantico Bay, Virginia. His father is a Marine and relocating often has become a part of Stephen’s life. However, becoming accustomed to something is not the same as liking it.
Remembering those who have served and made the ultimate sacrifice….
