Crawford County Sports Medicine (CCSM) Program
Crawford County Sports Medicine (CCSM) at Meadville Medical Center was developed to provide our local school districts with a complete sports medicine system including the education, prevention, management, treatment, and rehabilitation of injuries, accidents, and overuse conditions among the physically active student athletes within our community. Program development began in the spring of 1997 after several serious injuries occurred within our local high schools. Crawford County Sports Medicine at Meadville Medical Center began providing services to our local school districts in the fall of 1998.
Under the direction of Medical Director Vincent J. Paczkoskie, Jr. M.D., board certified in Orthopedics and Sports Medicine with fellowship training in Sports Medicine and Upper Extremity, Anne White, OTR/L, MS, Vice President of Rehabilitation and Outpatient Services, Michael D. Carr, PT, LAT, ATC, Athletic Trainer and Physical Therapist, and Bryanna O'Brien, MS, LAT, ATC, Athletic Trainer, Crawford County Sports Medicine has developed into a collaborative program involving Meadville Medical Center and the Conneaut, Crawford Central, PENNCREST, Cranberry, Valley Grove, Jamestown, and Commodore Perry School Districts. CCSM was developed by sports minded healthcare professionals to provide proper care, recovery, and rehabilitation for injured student athletes within our school systems.
Crawford County Sports Medicine utilizes various medical professionals including Athletic Trainers, Physical and Occupational Therapists, Orthopedists, Primary Care Physicians, other Physician specialties, and Neuropsychologists along with sports first aiders, coaches, athletic directors, and principals as the foundation of our Sports Medicine team to accomplish the program goals.
CCSM Goals
Prevent and/or reduce the incidences of injuries and emergencies resulting from sport activities
Educate coaches, athletic staffs, and student athletes about sports injury management and emergency care
Provide a service which allows for the proper recognition, management, treatment, and rehabilitation of injured student athletes by sports minded healthcare professionals

CCSM Services
Attendance and coverage at schools for athletic competitions, practices, and tournaments
Initial recognition and evaluation of injuries which can occur at our schools or during our biweekly injury clinics held at Meadville Medical Center Vernon Place during the school year on (no appointment necessary):
Wednesday 3:30 p.m. – 8:30 p.m.
Saturday 8:00 a.m. – 1:00 p.m.
Injury rehabilitation, reconditioning, and return to play
Injury prevention education
Priority scheduling of appointments with physicians for further evaluation and testing
Phone consultations
Physical and Occupational therapy referrals
What should I do after suffering an injury?
The best principle to follow is PRICE:
Protection: Protect the area from further injury
Rest: Avoid irritating the area until pain is diminished
Ice: Ice the injured area 20 minutes every hour for 48-72 hours after injury
Compression: Wrap the injury with an ace bandage or other wrap to prevent increased swelling
Elevate: Raise the injured area above the heart to reduce blood flow and swelling.
When can I put heat on an injury?
Heat can be applied 48 - 72 hours after an injury occurs or when active swelling has stopped (may be more than 72 hours)
When should I return to activity?
Return to activity should occur when pain in the injured area is gone, motion is normal and strength has returned. Time frames for return to play can vary greatly depending on the injury. Proper treatment and rehabilitation can facilitate healing, prevent future reinjury, and decrease time spent out of activity.
What is the best way to prevent injury?
The best way to prevent injury is to be in appropriate shape and condition for the activity being performed and to properly warm up and stretch prior to activity participation and to cool down afterwards:
Warm up: 5 - 10 minutes of light jogging, bicycling, or calisthenics
Stretching: Stretch the muscles to be used 2 to 3 times each holding 15-20 seconds — don't bounce or perform a dynamic stretching routine
Cool down: After activity do 5 – 10 minutes of light jogging or walking followed by light stretching. The cool down followed by stretching helps decrease muscle soreness later.

Ayushmann Khurrana also commented on Ranveer Singh's Instagram picture. He wrote, ''Gulshan Grover had this hairstyle in vishvaatma''.
Ranveer Singh is someone who is not only loved by people for his acting skills but also for his quirky fashions sense. Ranveer is often seen sporting unusual attires. He can pull off those outfits which other actors can't even dare to look at.
Well, if you think where he got the inspiration from? Don't put much pressure on your brain because like everyone, Ranveer's inspiration lies within himself. Before we continue to elaborate further, just check out his childhood picture.
Ranveer posted this throwback picture on Instagram and Twitter and it has left everyone in splits. Sharing the photo, he wrote, ''Avant Garde Since 1985''. So, Ranveer's experimental nature is something inborn. Can't you see his bold hairstyle? And just look at the swag in his eyes.
Soon after he shared the picture, comments from his Bollywood friends poured in. Ayushmann Khurrana commented,''Gulshan Grover had this hairstyle in vishvaatma''. Ranveer's Gully Boy director Zoya Akhtar had an adorable reaction to his photo. She wrote, ''Ole'' followed by a heart emoji. Siddhanth Kapoor wrote, ''Best!! Hahahahha, #bachpanseactor''. We couldn't agree more, Siddhanth!
On the professional front, Ranveer has wrapped up the shooting of Gully Boy, co-starring Alia Bhatt and is currently busy with Rohit Shetty's Simmba. He will also be seen in Kabir Khan's directorial titled '83.

Denizens of the Great Lakes watershed long have looked at those five vast, deep, shimmering pools not only as an unmatched economic and cultural resource but also as the ultimate trump card.
Containing more than 20 percent of the entire world's surface fresh water, Lakes Superior, Michigan, Huron, Erie and Ontario comprise the globe's biggest reservoir of what is arguably its most important natural resource. And that could come in handy, the argument goes, as water becomes scarcer in future decades, giving the Midwest a sort of regional economic advantage that is unduplicated in America – and anywhere else.
But not so fast. We may not be able to rely on the simple fact of geographically surrounding the Great Lakes as any kind of edge, even as other states and other countries enviously eye our storehouses of fresh water. And if government and private entities husbanding the Great Lakes don't do a better job of preserving the quality of the water that fills them, it may not matter how much of it there is.
That's the argument made, anyway, by John Robinson, co-founder and managing partner of Mazarine Ventures, a Chicago-based venture-capital firm that invests solely in startups attempting to solve pressing water and wastewater challenges.
Robinson agrees the presence of the Great Lakes is a huge attribute for the region. "In economic development, everyone always talks about how we have water and you don't," Robinson told me. "It's a strong fundamental of the region to have water security."
One indicator of the significance of the Great Lakes to Flyover Country is that working together on issues affecting the watershed is one of the very few areas in which state governments in the Midwest actually demonstrate regional cooperation. There's no other way to do it, of course, but it's a plus that the people running Michigan, Wisconsin, Indiana, Minnesota and the other states on the Great Lakes recognize the crucial importance of protecting and even enhancing this natural resource.
But Robinson knocks down the assumption that all the quadrillions of gallons of fresh water occupying the Great Lakes at any one time somehow can be leveraged to advance our region over others.
For one thing, Robinson said, its protectors need to do a much better job of ensuring that water reaching the Great Lakes from around the watershed is as pristine as possible and that it isn't sullied once it gets to one of the lakes.
"What's the point of an abundance of water if it's of compromised quality?" he said. "Hello, Flint" – a reference to the lead poisoning of the municipal water supply in the mid-Michigan industrial city. "And with runoff from farms and nitrates in groundwater, all of our water can be totally useless."
Second, Robinson said, there's no significance alone in the fact that we have a lot of fresh water and other places don't. "Water is really expensive to move, for one thing," he said. "The conveyance of water to California, for example, would cost trillions of dollars a day." It would be even more fantastical, he said, to imagine that Great Lakes water somehow could be provided to thirsty nations including Singapore.
At the same time, far-flung, reputationally waterless places like California aren't as disadvantaged as you might assume, Robinson argued. "The California snow pack in the Sierra Nevada mountains could provide enough water for all of California," he said.
But like most things in the Golden State, politics get in the way. The situation is similar to how mismanagement of forests is a huge contributor to a fire problem in California that is routinely blamed on climate change. The problem with water in California, Robinson said, is that state government hasn't done a good job of disbursing aquatic resources to competing interests that range from the powerful growers of water-intensive tree nuts to water-parched Los Angeles.

Tory plot at Cardiff University defeated
On 11th Mar 2020 By juliancope1917
By Cardiff Socialist Students
Attempts to scrap the support that Cardiff University Students' Union had given the UCU strike were roundly defeated last night when Tory students couldn't even get enough students to turn up to an "Emergency Members' Meeting" (EMM) to debate their motion!
Last November the Students' Union AGM voted to support action by the UCU by a sizable margin. Lecturers and other university staff are fighting to end precarious working conditions at the university with, despite claiming that they have no zero hour contracts, some staff are on teaching contracts that guarantee only 2 hours a year. The university is also trying to cut pensions and there are sizable gender and race pay gaps at the university as well bas a workload issue that is destroying the lives of members of staff.
The Tory manoeuvre tried to cancel our democratically-agreed support by calling a vote when many students had gone home rather than cross picketlines, trying to overturn the will of the students to stand in solidarity with the staff who teach us.
But not only did it fail: it backfired!
Socialist Students, Cardiff Students Support the Strike and other groups have been out campaigning for students to continue and step up their support. Lots of people are outraged by the Tory plot, and their passive support for lecturers and other university workers has turned into active support.
Joe Healy, from Cardiff Socialist Students and Students Support The Strike said, "It was pathetic, really. The Tories spent weeks trying to rally people to attend but it was obvious what was going to happen. Their petition calling the EMM was deliberately vaguely worded and students have now realised that they were tricked into supporting a sly attempt to undermine our pro-strike stance. Students are happy with the current position: we support our staff in their fight for better conditions for all of us. This isn't over, but we're prepared. We said in November and we'll say it again: this is a joint struggle: students and workers together, and we know that."

Apple's New Subscription Services Explained
Mike Epstein
Published 2 years ago: March 27, 2019 at 12:30 pm -
Filed to:apple
apple arcadeapple cardapple newsapple tvcredit cardsmagazinesmediamobile gamesmobile paymentsphonesstreamingvideo games
At its latest keynote today, Apple announced four new services to help it push deeper into the wide worlds of news, entertainment, and… banking? As predicted by analysts and reporters, Apple announced a paid magazine subscription platform and a Netflix-like streaming service. It also announced an Xbox Game Pass-style subscription for games and—this one's a real doozy—its own credit card.
While each of these products represents a major grab for money and mindshare within their respective industries, Apple framed each of its new services as the premium, paid versions of services Apple already provides. So, moving to a more expensive version of that which you're already familiar with should be a snap, right? Apple hopes so, at least.
First up, Apple announced a premium subscription for Apple News with an emphasis on magazines and prestige publications. The new "Apple News+" service gives you access to over 300 publications for $US9.99 per month (Australian pricing has not been announced.) The majority of them are magazines, including The New Yorker, Wired, Sports Illustrated, The Atlantic, Time, and others. The subscription also provides access to some premium digital entities, including The Skimm, Vulture, The Cut, and TechCrunch, as well as two national newspapers, The Wall Street Journal and The Los Angeles Times. Or, at least, some version of The Wall Street Journal.
WSJ internal memo says Apple News+ users will only get a "curated collection of general interest news." To access biz reporting, you'll still have to subscribe to the WSJ. Memo says "our collaboration with Apple will also extend to areas like video, voice, market data and AI."
— Brian Stelter (@brianstelter) March 25, 2019
Unlike Texture, an independent app that provided a similar service (which Apple acquired last year), the publishers will create special editions for Apple News, featuring scalable layouts of individual articles for mobile and tablets. The navigation and formatting of these print publications will be geared for online readers, who are a lot more used to scanning for content article by article, rather than issue by issue.
Apple News+ launches today in the U.S. and Canada, and it will come to Europe this fall. There's a one-month free trial if you sign up. As with many of its subscriptions, Apple is also allowing family sharing for Apple News+, which allows up to six users in a family to share a single subscription.
In what has to be the most bonkers news of the day, Apple announced it's teaming up with Goldman Sachs and Mastercard to create its own digitally native credit card. Designed to sync up with Apple Wallet and Apple Pay, the Apple Card's primary selling point is transparency and easy navigation: The menus you use to pay bills and track spending are full of flashy UI and interesting infographics. Apple said the card sync with use Apple Maps and transaction data to make a more clear and concise transaction history. It also said it will use analytics to chart trends in your spending. And if you're having issues, you can get support for your Apple Card via Messages.
At its core, the Apple Card is a basically cash back card, but with a couple of novel ideas and an Apple rewards twist. Users get two per cent cash back on all purchases, paid out on a daily basis, and three per cent on purchases at Apple Stores or spent on Apple services. Apple said it will offer better interest or incentives to pay down debt on the card more frequently. Lastly, there will be no late fees, over-the-limit fees, or international fees.
While the Apple Card is primarily made to work in tandem with your phone, there will also be a physical card. It's very sleek, as you would expect from Apple. It also has no credit card number on it: just your name and a chip. Apple (obviously) wants you to use Apple Pay whenever possible—you only get one per cent cash back when you use the physical card versus Apple Pay.
Is it a good credit card? That remains to be seen. The Apple Card will be available starting this summer. In the meantime, Lifehacker finance writer Alicia has some thoughts on the matter.
Hot on the heels of Google's new streaming video game platform Stadia comes Apple's relatively conservative approach to gaming. Apple Arcade is a video game subscription service for iOS, Apple TV, and Mac that will give you access to over 100 games for a single fee, similar to Microsoft's Xbox Game Pass.
The games on Apple Arcade are all what you might call "premium" mobile games. That is to say, they do not offer microtransactions or feature ads; you'd cough up a few bucks to download them from the App Store and play them forever. With the mobile market moving to subscriptions above all else, Apple's service looks to bring more innovative and, dare I say, interesting games back to iOS.
As with games you'd buy on the App Store, Apple's subscription allows you download games and play them on- or offline. (Apple emphasised this almost certainly to dig at Google, whose service was criticised for requiring a fast internet connection.)
All of the games on Apple Arcade are "mobile platform exclusives," meaning they won't be available on Android (at least some of them, I believe, are coming to PC and consoles). They also won't be available through any other gaming subscription service.
Apple Arcade is coming to over 150 countries this fall. However, there's no word on how much the service would cost just yet.
Last, but not least, Apple officially announced its plans to take on Netflix with its own premium subscription offering, Apple TV+. In preparation for the fall launch of the service, the Apple TV app is getting an overhaul and a huge expansion: You'll find it on MacOS this fall, as well as a wider array of devices such as smart TVs from Samsung, LG, Vizio, and Sony. It's even coming to Roku and Amazon Fire TV streaming boxes, because the bigger the potential audience, the more Apple can rake in from that sweet, monthly fee…. whatever it is. (Apple didn't announce this key point.)
This is what the new Apple TV app looks like... Kinda familiar, no? (Screenshot: Mike Epstein)
Apple spent most of the time devoted to Apple TV+ talking about some of the original programming coming to the platform. The company trotted out some big names, including a sci-fi anthology series from Steven Spielberg, a coming of age tale about a young woman looking to make it as a singer in New York from J.J. Abrams and Sara Bareilles, a kids show from the makers of Sesame Street, and three projects from Oprah: two documentaries and a new Oprah's Book Club show. Gizmodo has a full list of the shows Apple announced in its Apple TV+ explainer.


Xpress released a new 4WD M-Chassis "Execute XM1S". , the 4WD M-Chassis Belt-Drive Touring Car that inherited the DNA of Xpress full size Execute Sport XQ1S TC. In the last episode, One RC expert had conducted a product review of this touring car – XM1S. In this time, this essay shows us how to reduce the weight of the Xpress XM1S that make a lightweight version of XM1s.
Let's check out how to make a lightweight XM1S now!
Xpress XM1S chassis kit is set at an advanced level and affordable position. Although the original chassis kit' performance is good, most of the racer want to custom the XM1S for pursuing higher level performance.
There have still had some room to improve the performance with XM1S, even the parts coming with the XM1S are good. This essay is introducing how to modify the XM1S. How to make a lightweight version XM1S. I want to build an XM1S with lower weight and higher acceleration, compare with the old one. In concept, it will use less power as the chassis kit become more featherweight. Also, it can improve the car speed as decreasing the gravity of the car when turning. It decreases the stress toward the tire when racing.
Xpress XM1S is suitable for modifying to lightweight as the original package included the front/rear differential mount, plastic spool transmission part, short battery available, etc. Lightweight is the good start as less weight leads the car performance to achieve high-level by calculating the parts weight and remove the unnecessary parts. In street competition/meeting, the lightweight XM1S brings the better racing experience as reducing the stress of motor and ESC. Even for the formal competition, it can insert the balancing weight to manage the center of gravity to achieve the weight requirement.
Frist, Yeah Racing Aluminum Lightweight Hex Adaptor Set!
The purpose of using #WA-035BK is the size of aluminum is smaller than the plastic.
It enables to fix the tire angle in unperfected angle problem when using an original plastic adaptor. Also, the accuracy of control will be improved too.
The 2.0mm carbon fiberboard is the main part of the lightweight project. It can decrease the weight from 110.6g (original) to 63.5g. It can increase the flexibility of the XM1S. You can install the official parts – XP-10371 too.
It can drop the weight from 40.8g to 23.9g (Iron Screw) that around 40% weight decreased.
The weight had decreased from 3.7g to 1.3g, compare the original one.
This essay is stage 1 of XM1S modification. In the next episode, I will try to decrease the weight what under 1000g by focusing on electronic parts and the motor. See you at stage 2.
The Execute XM1S brings forward performance and features similar to competition class touring cars but at a fraction of the price and a reduction in size. By changing most aluminum materials to injection molded plastic parts, the precision and tolerances were kept the same but now you can get a taste of the Xpress touring car line at a fraction of the cost. Different from other "entry" level priced touring car kits, the XM1S features all the features of the XQ1 with adjustable suspension and steering to better prepare newcomers to the on-road touring car scene for the different type of setup changes you can make. Fitted with oil-filled dampers and gear differential, the setup can be adjusted towards either backyard bashing or even getting into club racing!
Xpress XM1S now available on rcMart!

Executive Mosaic is honored to introduce Deputy Defense Secretary Robert Work , for the second consecutive year, as an inductee into the 2016 edition of the Wash100 — Executive Mosaic's annual selection of influential leaders in the government contracting arena.
He was confirmed by the Senate to the Defense Department's second-highest civilian post in April 2014 and joined the Pentagon from his prior role as CEO of the Center for a New American Security, a national security think tank in Washington.
In 2015, Work helped lead DoD's efforts to advocate for a Third Offset Strategy that seeks to bolster U.S. warfighting capabilities through deterrence and technological advantages over the adversary.
Work told a Center for a New American Security event in December 2015 that combat teaming, human-machine collaboration, autonomous weapons, machine-aided human operations and deep learning machines are areas the military plans to explore further in support of the strategy.
Post-war military budget declines and an increase in weapon development competition has greatly reduced the U.S.' technological superiority and the Third Offset Strategy targets industry participation in efforts to rebuild that advantage, he said at a London-hosted forum in September 2015.
Work also pushed for DoD to integrate its wargaming program with analytics to generate insights on needed resources and capabilities to meet potential security threats in the future.
"This effort is part of our broader commitment to foster greater innovation within the department, make the most of increasingly constrained resources and avoid operational or technological surprise in tomorrow's dynamic security environment," Work said in a statement he co-wrote with Gen. Paul Selva, vice chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.

Non-Beer Options and New Drinks Are Boosting Boston Beer's Stock

Innovation doesn't just mean $2,000 mobile phones. It also comes in bottles and cans.
That notion was part of the reason shares of Boston Beer (ticker: SAM), known for Sam Adams and a bevy of other beverages, were up more than 14% to $306.83 at midafternoon on Thursday. Fourth-quarter earnings that beat the Street's expectations, as well as a 2019 outlook that cheered investors, bolstered the stock, which is up some 27% this year and ahead nearly 60% over the last 12 months.

Russia's answer to US sanctions is to make its economy more self-sufficient – analysts
© Pexels.com
As Washington threatens to impose more sanctions on Russia, analysts expect Moscow's response to be the same as usual – speeding up the drive to make the nation's economy more self-sufficient.
"The Americans are saying: be careful or we could do more, but Russia is just going to continue down the path toward economic autarky," the deputy chief economist at the Institute of International Finance in Washington, Elina Ribakova, told Bloomberg.
The administration of US President Joe Biden on Sunday warned of "consequences" if opposition activist Alexey Navalny were to die in prison. The warning followed the introduction by Washington of new economic penalties over claims of Russian hacking and election interference. The measures include a ban on purchases of bonds on Russia's primary market.

However, President Vladimir Putin's spokesman, Dmitry Peskov, said on Friday that the fundamentals of the Russian economy were unaffected by the move. "Macroeconomic stability is fully ensured," Peskov said, "and the efficiency of our economic bloc is recognized internationally. We have no reason to doubt this state of affairs."
International rating agencies confirm that Russia is well positioned for a near-term market disruption because it has a high cash buffer and demand from local banks is robust, according to Fitch. Moody's said on Monday that Russia's financial reserves will allow the country to cope with the negative effects of the sanctions. Ratings agency S&P also noted that the sanctions will not have a significant impact on the replenishment of the Russian budget and will not undermine the stability of the country's financial markets.

Experts point out that during the seven years of Western sanctions on Russia over Ukraine, the Russian government and central bank reduced the country's exposure to dollars, shifted assets out of the US, and sold a smaller share of its debt to foreigners.
Russia has been reshaping its international holdings, cutting the share of the US dollar in favor of other currencies and gold. The country's foreign reserve holdings have been steadily growing in recent years, and amounted to $580.5 billion as of April 9. Despite the coronavirus pandemic, the reserves surged by over $40 billion last year.
The share of gold in Russia's forex reserves jumped above dollars for the first time on record in 2020. The precious metal made up 24% of the central bank's stockpile as of the end of September. The share of dollar assets was 22%, down from more than 40% in 2018.

The share of Russia's international reserves held in the United States plummeted to just under 7% by the end of September, down from about 30% in 2014.
As part of President Putin's plan to de-dollarize trade, Russia has also been cutting back on the use of the greenback in its exports with the EU, China, and India. The euro has almost overtaken the dollar in Russia's trade with the EU, and has already surpassed it in exports to China. About two-thirds of Russia's exports to India are currently paid for in rubles.

Petition to Remove Cancer Drug Gefitinib (Iressa) From the Market
Lester Crawford, DVM, Acting Commissioner
Center for Drug Evaluation and Research
Rockville MD, 20857
Dear Dr. Crawford:
Public Citizen, representing 150,000 consumers nationwide, petitions the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to remove the drug Iressa (gefitinib; AstraZeneca) from the market immediately.[1] Iressa was approved in May 2003 under the agency's accelerated approval program that allows for the expedited review and approval on the basis of a clinical or surrogate endpoint that is "reasonably likely … to predict clinical benefit,"[2] if the drug is for a serious or life-threatening condition. The law also states that "approval under this section will be subject to the requirement that the applicant study the drug further, to verify and describe its clinical benefit." FDA did require such a study and that study (Iressa Survival Evaluation in Lung Cancer Study or ISEL) has now been completed; it failed to show that Iressa has any efficacy in improving survival in patients with non-small cell lung cancer.[3] As a result, Iressa's application for approval in Europe has been withdrawn.
The accelerated approval law also states that the FDA may withdraw approval of a fast track product "if a postmarketing clinical study fails to verify clinical benefit."[4]
On May 5, 2003, Iressa was granted accelerated approval for the treatment of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) in patients who had failed at least two other treatment regimens (third-line therapy). The surrogate endpoint used for approval was tumor shrinkage of at least 50%; this occurred in approximately 10% of treated patients in an uncontrolled (no placebo group) phase II study.
In our May 1, 2003 letter to the FDA,[5] we urged that Iressa not be approved because 1) in the pivotal trial, only 10% of third-line therapy patients responded to treatment (as measured by tumor shrinkage), 2) two large Phase III trials with Iressa as first-line therapy (no treatment prior to Iressa) had been completed and were clearly negative with respect to survival, and 3) there were already 473 reports of acute interstitial pneumonia in NSCLC patients in Japan, of whom 173 had died. These deaths were thought to be directly linked to Iressa treatment.
APPROVAL HISTORY
The pivotal trial on which the accelerated approval of Iressa was based was a Phase II study of Iressa as third-line therapy. Two doses of Iressa (250 mg/day and 500 mg/day) were tested, but there was no control group against which to measure safety or effectiveness.
In addition to the Phase II study, two Phase III trials had also been completed before approval; these were first-line therapy trials. In principle, this group should have been even more responsive than patients given third-line therapy. According to the FDA Medical Officer, "A widely accepted medical oncology principle is that for each chemotherapy regimen failed, the probability of responding to a subsequent regimen decreases."[6] Nevertheless, there were "no controlled trials demonstrating a clinical benefit, such as improvement in disease-related symptoms or increased survival."[7] In spite of this, FDA granted an accelerated approved to Iressa.
POST-APPROVAL STUDY
On December 17, 2004, the FDA announced that another Phase III trial the FDA had required as a condition of approval was complete and had failed to show a survival advantage: patients taking Iressa did not live any longer than those taking a placebo pill. This Phase III study (ISEL) enrolled 1,692 patients with advanced NSCLC who had failed either one or two prior chemotherapy regimens (i.e., very similar to the only group for whom Iressa was approved). Patients were split into two groups: 250 mg Iressa plus best supportive care or placebo and best supportive care.
According to the briefing documents posted in advance of the Oncologic Drugs Advisory Committee Meeting of March 4, 2005, the one-year survival with Iressa in ISEL was 27% compared to 22% for the placebo group (p=0.11, log rank test).[8]The company has done a number of additional analyses, some post-hoc. For example, the company presents a Cox regression that claims statistical significance; its purpose was to adjust for differences between the two trial groups at baseline, even though the company acknowledges that because the trial was randomized, such differences were minimal. A number of subanalyses were also done (the total number is not disclosed), among which Asian ethnicity, adenocarcinoma histology (Cox regression only), and non-smoking status predict survival. Such subanalyses should not obscure the fact that overall no benefit of Iressa upon survival could be demonstrated in the analysis done as planned in the protocol or that there is currently no way to know who might respond.
The FDA, instead of removing the drug from the market as the law authorizes the agency to do when no survival benefit is shown by post-approval studies, told patients to "consult with their physicians as soon as possible" and consider switching to either of two alternative therapies (Taxotere [docetaxel] or Tarceva [erlotinib]) that had demonstrated improved survival.[9]
On the same daythat FDA announced the results of ISEL (December 17, 2004), AstraZeneca issued a "Dear Doctor Letter" to physicians in the U.S. reporting Iressa's lack of improved survival. The company stated: "AstraZeneca urges you to consider other treatment options in the recurrent non-small cell lung cancer patient population."[10] Keeping a drug on the market while effectively telling people to avoid taking it is not an adequate public health response.
There has been international fallout from the failed ISEL study:
On January 4, 2005, AstraZeneca withdrew its marketing application for Iressa in Europe based on the drug's failure to prolong the lives of patients with NSCLC.[11]
On January 20, 2005, a panel of Japanese scientists submitted the results of an emergency investigation into Japanese adverse reaction reports to the Japanese Ministry of Health and Welfare. These post-marketing data linked Iressa to 1,473 adverse event reports and 588 deaths in Japan alone, raising the possibility, according to an official spokesman for the ministry, that Iressa could be withdrawn.[12]
HEALTH RESEARCH GROUP ANALYSIS
An epidemic of interstitial lung disease has now begun in the U.S., mimicking that in Japan. In our own analysis of the FDA Adverse Event Reactions database, we found 144 reports of interstitial lung disease, including 87 deaths for which Iressa was considered the primary suspect. These data cover only the first 17 months of post-marketing use, from approval in May 2003 through September 2004. These are certainly underestimates since, ordinarily, at most, 10% of adverse events are reported to FDA, and we used only one search term (interstitial lung disease) when many related (but less specific) terms could also have been used.
Iressa is thought to work by binding to the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), a protein that is present on the surface of most cells and helps regulate cell growth. Iressa, by binding to and blocking EGFR action, would presumably inhibit growth.
There is a growing interest in identifying the 10% of patients who benefit from Iressa in terms of tumor size. Recent experiments have provided evidence that some patients have a change (mutation) in their DNA such that Iressa binds more tightly to EGFR than in patients without mutations.[13],[14],[15] However, these were post-hoc results from a small subset of patients; patients have never been tested prospectively and the positive predictive of a test for mutations has not been calculated.
The identification of the responder group is much more complicated than just looking for mutations, however, since some patients who respond lack these mutations. Even patients who do respond do so for only a limited time before relapsing. Research is therefore ongoing as to the identity of mechanisms for relapse, including the search for additional mutations.[16],[17] According to Bruce Johnson (a researcher in the field), "there are at least 20 different mutations in the EGF receptors in human lung cancers, and we don't know if the same drug works as well for every mutation."[18] It is noteworthy that in Iressa Phase II trials, EGFR expression per se did not predict response.[19] Clearly, much research needs to be done before anyone can know who might benefit.
The manufacturer agrees with the complexity of the DNA issue, saying, "new mutations are being discovered on an ongoing basis" and "the clinical significance of different mutations needs to be demonstrated."[20] AstraZeneca has also acknowledged that, "mutations alone do not provide an explanation" and that "other factors must have a role in determining sensitivity to gefitinib." What those factors might be is a crucial unanswered question.
AstraZeneca added that the current method for detecting DNA mutations is "time-consuming, complicated, and costly," and that "While more user-friendly technologies are likely to emerge, validation of these techniques will be required."[21] Although there are tests in development, FDA can not say when they might be available for research outside the research setting.[22]
The FDA pharmacology reviewer pointed out additional dangers in Iressa's use: "Despite claims to the contrary, in both the NDA [New Drug Application] and the literature, the data does not support the concept that ZD1839 [Iressa] binds specifically at the EGF Receptor".[23] He noted that plasma concentrations of Iressa are high enough in humans to inhibit six or more other growth factor receptors, putting patients at risk for additional non-specific adverse effects. Just as alarming was his observation that, "in all tested animal species, the difference between a chronic dose that caused relatively little toxicity and one that was lethal was less than twofold … consistent with clinical results [i.e., sharply increased toxicity in patients with a small increase in dose]."[24] He added that giving such a toxic drug safely is extremely difficult as there was "insufficient evidence to accurately characterize such a [dose-response] curve."
With its clinical efficacy in prolonging life in first-, second-, or third-line therapy NSCLC patients now disproved, Iressa should again become an experimental drug. Iressa combines several negatives: lack of specificity in binding to different EGFRs, a small step between a safe and toxic dose, and an inability to determine which patients will benefit. Its use puts all patients at risk for a serious and potentially fatal lung disease that is occurring with a relatively high incidence. Moreover, Iressa is no longer the only oral drug for NSCLC. In November 2004, Tarceva, another oral EGFR inhibitor that actually has positive survival data, became available for second-line therapy.[25] Leaving Iressa on the market increases the likelihood that patients will be diverted from an effective therapy (Tarceva) to an ineffective therapy, endangering their lives.
Changing the label to include genetic testing is not an alternative until the science advances to the point that such testing can reliably distinguish a group that benefits from Iressa. Until it becomes clear what that group is, NSCLC patients should not be put at risk for another potentially fatal disease and diverted from effective therapy. Iressa should return to IND status to encourage investigations to take place that might identify sub-populations in which the drug is actually effective in improving survival. Patients currently taking the drug could continue to receive the drug under AstraZeneca's compassionate use program.
While the European marketing application was withdrawn immediately upon the receipt of the ISEL results, the company has managed to drag the process out in the more lucrative U.S. market. While new Iressa prescriptions per week are down from a peak of 1114 in August 2004 to 331 in mid-February, this is still a large of number of patients for a drug with no proven benefit but clear risks. Instead of acting to protect patients by removing the drug from the market, the FDA instead scheduled an Advisory Committee meeting and has now apparently agreed to reach no decision at that meeting. AstraZeneca continues to demand more time for further analysis of the ISEL results and additional data. Haste seems not to be a consideration: the EGFR outcomes analysis will be complete on March 21, 2005, conveniently less than three weeks after the Advisory Committee meeting. It is no small irony that a drug that received its approval under an accelerated approval mechanism should now be subject to such delaying tactics.

The Geneva Academy Team Reaches the Semi-Finals of the 2018 Jean-Pictet Competition
The Geneva Academy, represented by three LLM students – Yasmin Afina from Indonesia, Guillem Puri Plana from Spain and Noa Schreuer from Israel/Germany – reached the semi-finals of the prestigious 2018 Jean-Pictet Competition.
47 teams from all over the globe were selected to participate in the 2018 edition of this leading international humanitarian law (IHL) competition, held in Ohrid, Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, from 24 to 31 March 2018.
'During Pictet, we were given the opportunity to learn many things which, I believe, we would have never been able to learn otherwise in such a short period of time and in such an enjoyable manner' underlines Yasmin Afina. 'Meeting and discussing with more than a hundred bright-minded people from across the globe was truly inspiring' she adds.
Burning Issues in International Humanitarian Law
'I warmly recommend it to every international law enthusiast and feel privileged for the opportunity to engage in fascinating questions relating to IHL, while getting to know extremely professional practitioners, scholars and students from all around the world' underlines Noa Schreuer.
During one week, the Geneva Academy team played different roles including the Ministry of Justice; the communications department of an NGO; an armed non-state actor (ANSA); the International Committee of the Red Cross (legal advisers and delegates negotiating access to a territory controlled by an ANSA); members of a country's Red Crystal (during the 'field' simulation); individual members of an International Humanitarian Fact-Finding Commission; the Political Division of a UN Mission; as well as judge, prosecutor, and defense.
'Participating in the Jean-Pictet Competition has been a unique experience that will always stay with me. Since we started our preparation, we have not only grown personally but the team spirit made us go beyond our preconceived limits' stresses Guillem Puri Plana.
Part of the LLM Curriculum
Participation in this major IHL competition forms part of the LLM in International Humanitarian Law and Human Rights curriculum.
The three LLM students were selected following a competitive process and were coached by George Dvalaze, Teaching Assistant at the Geneva Academy. Their participation in the Jean-Pictet Competition replaces two optional courses (6 ECTS credits).
'Our LLM students have been participating in the Jean-Pictet competition since the beginning of the programme as it gives them exposure to concrete cases and allows them to put into practice what they are learning in class' underlines Robert Roth, Director of the Geneva Academy.
The Jean-Pictet Competition
The Jean-Pictet Competition is recognized as the leading international humanitarian law (IHL) competition and one of the most innovative training programmes for students in public international law. It is a week-long event that tests students on their knowledge of and ability to implement IHL, as well as other branches of international law, through role-playing exercises based on a hypothetical armed conflict scenario. The dynamic structure of the competition encourages participants to consider IHL issues from various perspectives while allowing the jury to evaluate each team's theoretical knowledge, practical understanding, and presentation style.
In 2016, the Geneva Academy team won this prominent IHL moot.

The Joe Rogan Experience Podcast is headquartered in a 14,000 square foot warehouse but the actual podcast studio is nowhere near that size. Joe Rogan used some of that extra space to build a private strength and conditioning gym with a combat sports section for kickboxing and jiu-jitsu.
The JRE studio gym has all of the equipment you'd need or want in a commercial gym. It even looks the part with mirrored walls, rubber flooring, high ceilings and proper lighting. The strength and conditioning side of the JRE gym was set up by Rogue Fitness, a manufacturer of high quality, American-made fitness equipment. Rogan says he's been buying Rogue's stuff for years and he even had them set up his home gym. Other pieces of equipment have since been added to the gym and a lot of the free weights are from Onnit. The combat sports side of the gym was set up by Fuji Mats with floor mats, heavy bags and a bag rack system.
All of the fitness equipment, machines, devices and accessories in the JRE studio gym are listed below and most can be seen in this photo.
One piece of fitness equipment that Joe Rogan frequently talks about is the Iron Neck. He's a big believer in working out your neck and the Iron Neck is the best neck resistance training method he's found. It can be used for neck strengthening as well as for injury prevention and rehab for neck/back pain. Rogan loves the Iron Neck so much he has one for the studio gym and another for his home gym. He says every grappler should get one.
The Reverse Hyper Machine is another piece of fitness equipment that Joe Rogan loves to tell podcast guests about and always offers to demonstrate how it works. It was invented by Louie Simmons of Westside Barbell, a guest on JRE #854. The Rogue RH-2 Reverse Hyper is a stand-alone machine that is loaded with barbell plates. It strengthens the lower back on the way up and decompresses the spine on the way down. Rogan swears it worked wonders for his own back issues.
Compound movements engage multiple muscle groups and are an essential part of strength and hypertrophy training. The Rogue Monster Rig is where Rogan performs compound lifts like squat, bench press, overhead press as well as pull-ups, chin-ups, dips and more. He easily could have used a Rogue Monster Power Rack instead of a rig. But the rig provides a bit more versatility, spreads out the accessories/attachments, and provides a place for the gymnastic rings to hang.
Rogan is using a number of Rogue accessories and attachments with the Monster Rig as shown in his Instagram photos above. The rig's main rack has a Monster Flying Pull-Up Bar attachment for doing chin-ups, pull-ups, muscle-ups and ladders. When squatting or benching heavy, the Safety Spotter Arms can catch the barbell if necessary. The Rogue Monster Utility Seat works with the Safety Spotter Arms to create a platform for box squats, Bulgarian squats, step ups, etc. The Rogue Monster Lever Arms are multi-grip jammer arms for performing explosive upper-body movements.
The secondary pair of uprights has an Extension Kit and a number of other attachments. The added height of the extension is for hanging Rogue Gymnastic Wood Rings (also available from Onnit). A Monster Matador Dip Extension allows for tricep dips and chest dips. There are two Monster Rope Attachment Anchors for use with the Rogue Bulldog Ropes and Onnit Battle Ropes. A Rack Mounted Leg Roller is also attached for stretching, one-leg squats, Bulgarian squats and more. There are hanging ab straps for doing ab exercises like knee and leg raises. The Iron Neck is also set up here.
You can do a ton of exercises with just a barbell or dumbbells and an adjustable weight bench. Rogan has the Rogue AB-3 Bench. It's compact and solid bench made of 11-gauge steel. The seat and back pad are adjustable and can be set to a decline position with a removable foot catch. It has wheels so it can be easily moved around the gym.
Heavy dumbbells are a must for any gym. Rogan has a complete set of Rogue Rubber Hex Dumbbells with pairs ranging in weight from 5 to 125lbs. The rubber casing limits noise and protects both the dumbbells and the flooring from wear and tear. The dumbbells are stored on a Rogue storage rack.
Kettlebells have been a staple of Joe Rogan's strength and conditioning routine for years. He says they're one of the best tools for developing functional strength which translates to improved athletic performance especially in jiu-jitsu. He's a big fan of using kettlebells for cardio workouts and has frequently endorsed Keith Weber's Extreme Kettlebell Cardio DVD. The JRE studio gym has a set of Rogue Competition Kettlebells in pairs. They are stored on a Rogue storage rack dedicated to kettlebells.
These 3D sculpted iron kettlebells not only look super cool but they're also perfectly balanced. Onnit Primal Bells are available as the Howler (18lbs), Chimp (36lbs), Orangutan (54lbs), Gorilla (72lbs) and Bigfoot (90lbs). Rogan likes to go heavy with the Gorilla bells for cleans, presses and squats. He had some of them custom painted by artist @3sheets to look like Planet of the Apes war paint.
The Ohio Bar is a high quality multi-purpose barbell and Rogue's most popular bar. Rogan has multiple barbells as the Monster Rig can have concurrent squat, bench or other rack setups. The Ohio Bar weighs 20kg (44lbs) and has a lifetime guarantee against bending.
Rogan uses a Rogue trap bar for shurgs and deadlifts. Deadlifting with a trap bar is safer as it puts less stress on the spine and lifters can generate more power than with a standard barbell.
Rogan appears to be doing Oscillating Kinetic Energy training using the BandBell E-Maxx Bar. It's a lightweight and bendable barbell with grooves for resistance bands or hanging weights. Performing exercises with this type of barbell creates instability and activates the stabilizing muscles.
The JRE gym has a set of Rogue bumper plates for doing squats, bench press, overhead press, and deadlifts with a barbell. The plates are also used with the reverse hyper machine, T-bar row, and War Wagon. Rogue sells individual bumper plates at 10, 15, 25, 35, 45 and 55lbs as well as sets at various total weights including 160, 230, 260, 350, 500 or 1000lbs. The barbell plates are stored on the Rogue 3-Tier Mass Storage System (70″).
Onnit's collaboration with Marvel produced these flashy barbell plates that look like Captain America's shield. Made from polyurethane with steel centers and thin profiles, these bumper plates come in 25, 35 and 45lbs. They are available as individual plates, as pairs of plates or as a 210lb set (2×25, 2×35, 2×45).
Swinging clubs is an ancient Persian training method used by soldiers and wrestlers for strength and conditioning. The uneven weight distribution of the steel club works the stabilizer muscles and improves balance and shoulder mobility while increasing shoulder strength, grip strength and rotational core power. Exercises can be performed using a single club or with a pair of clubs. Rogan has the full set of Onnit Steel Clubs in pairs of 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 35 and 45lbs.
Like the clubs, mace training comes from ancient Persia and can be used for full body workouts with movements that aren't possible with conventional fitness equipment. The steel mace has a more extreme weight displacement than the steel club with most of its weight in a ball at the end of a long shaft. Swinging a steel mace works the stabilizer muscles and improves core strength and rotational core power. Rogan has the full set of Onnit Steel Maces at 7, 10, 15, 20, and 25lbs.
The JRE gym also has a pair of Onnit Quad Maces. Each Quad Mace weighs 25lbs and has a slip-resistant ash wood handle that is longer than the steel mace handle. The mace head is made of cast iron.
Medicine ball training is another ancient form of strength and conditioning used to increase explosive power and core strength. There are a number of exercises you can do with medicine balls including throwing and catching, sit ups, twists, squats, presses and more. Rogue medicine balls are not suitable for slams. Rogan has Rogue's 10, 14 and 20lb medicine balls. They are stored on the Rogue 3-Tier Mass Storage System (70″).
Onnit's high quality medicine balls are made with ballistic-grade material and designed for slams in addition to wall ball throws, catches, sit ups, twists, squats, presses, etc. They are built to retain their spherical shape with heavy use. The surface material is super grippy. They're available in 10, 15 and 20lbs.
The glute-ham raise (GHR) is one of the best exercises for strengthening the hamstrings and glutes especially for athletes. It can even help prevent hamstring pulls and strains. Rogan performs his GHRs on the Rogue Abram GHD 2.0.
The high pulley/low pulley is a versatile machine that allows Rogan to do seated lat pulldowns, standing tricep pushdowns, low rows from the floor, cable crunches and more. The Rogue Monster Lat Pull Down/Low Row is a freestanding machine with a 300lb weight stack in 10lb increments. It comes with a stainless steel lat bar but other grips are also available. Rogan has the Rogue Monster Grip Triangle and the Rogue Tricep Push Down Attachment.
The T-Bar Row is a simple machine dedicated to back rows. The front post is loaded with barbell plates. It has multi-grip handle which allows for wide or narrow grip rows.
The cardio section of the JRE studio gym is where Joe Rogan worked out like a psycho for Sober October 2 and destroyed the competition. The gym has a good variety of different cardio machines including an air bike, climber, rower and manual treadmill. Any one of these machines is capable of delivering a punishing workout.
For Sober October 2, Joe Rogan, Bert Kreischer, Tom Segura and Ari Shaffir each wore a Myzone MZ-3 Activity Belt to monitor their heart rates, log their fitness activity and keep score.
Air bikes use a giant fan for resistance and provide a full body workout as they require pedalling with your legs in combination with moving your arms. The overbuilt Rogue Echo Bike is solid and sturdy with a belt-driven steel fan that produces a smooth and quiet ride. Rogan loves to push himself hard on the bike doing Tabata rounds (20 seconds of max effort followed by 10 seconds of rest).
Vertical cardio training uses your arms and legs to step and climb with a push and pull action. It provides a zero impact, full body workout with a high calorie burn rate. The VersaClimber LX is a commercial grade machine with adjustable resistance.
Rowing is another low impact, full body cardio exercise that Rogan loves to do. The Concept2 Rower is the world's best-selling rowing machine. It uses a flywheel to provide air resistance which can be adjusted. Here's Ari Shaffir using the Model D.
Running on a manual treadmill is much more difficult than running on a motorized one and it even burns more calories. A manual treadmill is powered by the runner's own movement and provides a more natural running feel. Rogan's gym has the Assault Fitness AirRunner.
Hanging upside down with an inversion table is a great way to decompress the spine and relieve back pain. Rogan has been using Teeter inversion tables for 20+ years to keep his back healthy. The studio gym has a Teeter EP-560 Ltd and it has become part of Rogan's daily routine. He says he uses the gravity boots to do sit ups.
A decompression and extension machine is a multi-purpose alternative to the inversion table. The Teeter Dex II can be used to do hip-supported inversions to decompress the spine. It can also be used for back extensions, stretching, crunches, and inverted twists as well as dips and push-ups with the upper and lower handles.
The wood plyo box is for doing box jumps and step ups. The Rogue Games Box is like having 3 plyo boxes in 1 with different heights of 20″, 24″ or 30″ depending on the orientation of the box.
A firm grip is important when lifting heavy. Using chalk on the hands will absorb any sweat and ensure a secure grip on a barbell or handle. The Rogue Chalk Stand is on wheels and can be moved around where needed.
UFC fighter Matt Brown dropped by the JRE studio to deliver some fitness equipment from his company, Immortal Combat Equipment. The War Wagon is a standard weighted wheel barrow with an interchangeable handle system.
The Battle Hammer is a sport specific sledgehammer that is better designed and more durable than the hardware store sledgehammers typically used for training. It features a cylindrical head with a flat top. A ball at the opposite end of the shaft prevents the hammer from slipping out of your hands. They are available from 15 to 35lbs. Rogan appears to be using the Rogue Ballistic Block as a sledgehammer target instead of a rubber tire although Rogue says it's not intended to be hit with a sledgehammer.
The combat sports area is right beside the strength and conditioning gym, giving Rogan a proper space to roll and train Brazilian jiu-jitsu, practice striking, and hit pads with JRE MMA Show guests. The flooring uses Fuji Mats Tatami Series mats which have some texture for grip. He previously used the Smooth Series mats also by Fuji Mats but found they were too slippery for kicking. The wall pads are customized with the Joe Rogan Experience logo.
Rogan has a variety of heavy bags including a Fuji Muay Thai Bag, Fairtex Banana Bag, Monster Energy Bag, Fuji Teardrop Bag, and Fuji Wrecking Ball Bag. The heavy bags are mounted using a Fuji Trolley Bag Rack System. Rogan also has a PowerKube to measure the force of his kicks and punches. There's even a wall-mounted TV so he can watch fights as he trains.
