Ketone levels, the more water drank the lower the readings are,right?
I am new to a low carb diet, been on it about 1-1/2 months.
I am 58, 5'8", 160-lbs, never worried to much about what I ate until I had a stroke 1-1/2 months ago. It wasn't a bad one, it effected only my balance. After it happened I would drift to the right bad when trying to walk, had to use a walker to walk straight for 2-3 days. 1-1/2 months later I have little signs of drifting to the right, about back to normal. My cholestrol was 275 and Triglycerides 467. The doc said to go on a low carb diet so I figured out what to eat by research online. My daily carb intake varies from 40-50 up to 70's, depends on my will power. Here's my main question: Does water intake effect the color readings on the ketone strips? Seems like the more water you drink the lighter the color on the ketone strips. The less water you drink the darker the color, is this right? I bought those ketone strips, normally I test my pee when I wake up, it normally reads trace(5mg). This mourning when I tested it was 40. I thought it was a bad reading so I tested again an it was the same. Why all of a sudden did it read lots of ketones. My carb intake yesterday was average, it was not way low, probably around 50-60. 5 hrs later I tested again and it was back to trace(NOTE: my pee was clearer not as yellow). Between testings I had 2-3 cups coffee, 3 bacon, 2 eggs, 1 pc toast, and about 12-16 oz water. Did the coffee and water delute the ketone count? |

new here so can anyone shed some light on my question.
Does water or liquid intake have anything to do with what color the strips turn? Does ketone level go down when you drink alot of water, delute them? |

Wow! So sorry to hear about what happened but thank God you have a doctor that is smart enough to recommend LC living!
The urine test strips are very unreliable. You just can't trust them because the type of ketones they measure are greatly affected by dilution, from drinking liquids, and they are expelled through your breath, your sweat, your eyes, nose, skin - pretty much your entire body is a radiator for that type of ketone. You can buy blood ketone test strips that are 100% accurate and test a different type of ketone. The strips can be pretty expensive. Add these books to your reading list: "The Art and Science of Low Carb Living" - get it now and read it first. "Why We Get Fat" by Taubes. "Wheat Belly" by Dr. Davis. Check out Jimmy Moore's blog on Nutritional Ketosis. Check out the two NK threads here on LCF: Our thread. Kristn's thread. Read the intro blurbs on both threads. Kristn's thread has a lot of people that do the blood ketone tests so they can probably answer any questions you have about that. |

A creepy fable from director Alejandro Amenabar (whose twisted sci-fi love story, Abre Los Ojos, served as the basis for Cameron Crowe's Vanilla Sky), The Others stars Nicole Kidman as a mother living in a large isolated mansion with her two extremely photosensitive children; as they await the return of her husband upon the aftermath of World War II, they come to suspect that their house is haunted (and it is' just not in the way they think). The Others isn't so much a horror film as it is a sometimes overwhelmingly sad fairy tale of sorts; while its melancholy tone sometimes gets the better of it, it remains an engrossing and fascinating yarn, with Amenabar maintaining a sense of mystery and dread as the story slowly unfolds, Kidman delivering a strong mama-lion performance and Fionnula Flanagan stealing the show as the new maid who seems to know a lot more about this strange situation than she lets on. The film's final revelation isn't so much shocking (or unexpected) as it is tragically inevitable; it also doesn't make or break everything that came before it, as is so often the unfortunate case with twist endings.

Make a Gift to the Salvation Army
Financial gifts, donations of stocks, real property or deferred gifts help The Salvation Army fund its mission to preach the gospel and help meet needs in Christ's name.
We offer extensive social services that include food, clothing, utility assistance, and much more.
Every volunteer for The Salvation Army is another set of helping hands, another voice of comfort, another heart pouring out compassion.
Without it, we could not be doing the most good in our communities.
Stay connected and learn about events and opportunities The Salvation Army throughout Colorado, Montana, Utah, and Wyoming.
When you shop or donate to The Salvation Army Family Stores, you help fund our live-in drug and alcohol rehabilitation centers.
... almost everyone has experienced some time in their life when making ends meet was even more difficult than usual.
Perhaps you had an illness in the family. Or perhaps your child needed braces for straighter teeth.
Maybe you had one or more children in college. Or maybe you unexpectedly had to repair the family car or replace an old furnace.
The point is -- most of us know that horrible feeling of not being able to make ends meet. For a number of our neighbors, it's something they're experiencing right now.
Tragedies like a sudden job loss or divorce can leave a family stranded.
We know -- because they call on the phone to ask for help. They come in person to ask for help for themselves and their families.
When times get difficult, often people simply don't know where to turn. Usually that's when they turn to The Salvation Army. Why?
Because we've been here for years, extending a helping hand to people in our community who need us.
That's the reason we're here.
We would like to ask for your help so that we can continue to be here for our friends and neighbors in need. Will you send a gift to reach out to them in compassion?
Your support can make all the difference for a struggling family who just can't make ends meet.
Together, we can fill in the gap until they get back on their feet.
Please click here to make a special gift today.
A documentary about The Salvation Army's response in The Philippines to Typhoon Haiyan will receive its premiere on Monday 24 February at the National Religious Broadcasters Convention in Nashville, Tennessee, USA, and online at the www.savn.tv website.
It has been five months since the rains first poured over Colorado, and the world stopped for residents who watched their possessions wash away. Since that time, life has moved on for many survivors, able to return home and slowly rebuild what was lost.

March was a record setting month for the Chicago/Rockford International Airport. Airport officials say 35,453 passengers flew into or out of RFD last month. That eclipses the Airport's previous record monthly total by 2,120 passengers. The Airport's previous record was set in March of last year. Airport Director Mike Dunn says Allegiant Airlines new service to Fort Myers, Florida was a major contributor to last month's record passenger totals.

8 Stocks Under $10 Moving Higher
Anthera Pharmaceuticals
Anthera Pharmaceuticals (ANTH) is a biopharmaceutical company focused on developing and commercializing products to treat serious diseases associated with inflammation, including cardiovascular and autoimmune diseases. This stock is trading up 11% at $2.20 in recent trading.
Today's Range: $2.21-$2.74
52-Week Range: $1.86-$9.08 Volume: 2 million Three-Month Average Volume: 440,060 >>7 Hot Stocks on Traders' Radars From a technical perspective, ANTH is gapping notably higher today on monster volume. This move has briefly pushed the stock into breakout territory after it crossed some near-term overhead resistance at $2.22. At last check, ANTH hit an intraday high of $2.75 but has now pulled back to around $2.20. Traders should consider long-biased trades as long as ANTH is trending above $2.22 with strong upside volume flows. I would also consider long-biased trades if ANTH can manage to close back near its daily highs. This stock should be avoided from the long side if it closes below yesterday's low of $1.97.Select the service that is right for you!

1. Collecting Personal Information from Website Visitors
In order to provide you with access to certain services or data within our Sites, we may require that you provide certain personal information. This information may include your name, postal address, telephone number, fax number, e-mail address, subscriber name or screen name, password used to access our services, method of payment, and, if applicable, payment information, such as credit card number and expiration date associated with online purchases.
In addition, we collect: (1) the e-mail addresses of visitors that communicate with us via e-mail, post messages to our bulletin boards or post messages to our chat groups; and (2) information provided by visitors in sales orders, registration forms, surveys, contest entries, and other submissions to us.
We also collect and track automatically: (1) the home server domain names, IP addresses, type of client computer, and type of web browser of visitors to our Sites; and (2) aggregate and specific information on what pages visitors access.
2. Collecting Other Information
Pitney Bowes uses several automatic data collection tools and techniques including cookies, clickstream, and web beacons.
CookiesSome of our Sites use a technology called "cookies" so that we can better serve visitors when they purchase a product on our Sites, request additional information about our company, products or services, or participate in various activities posted on our Sites. A cookie is a bit of text that is placed on a user's computer hard drive when certain websites are visited.
These cookies may be placed by us or by third party vendors and are used to obtain data such as user-name, shopping cart contents, and web pages or advertisements viewed by the visitor. When the visitor revisits our Sites, we can recognize the visitor by the Internet cookie and customize the visitor's experience accordingly.
You can set your browser to provide notice whenever a cookie is received, which gives you the opportunity to decide whether to accept it or not. Without cookies, however, you may not be able to take full advantage of all our Site features. For example, if you turn off cookies or refuse them, you will not be able to make purchases on our Sites.
ClickstreamCertain of our Sites may collect information about the "clickstream" of our customers during their visit to our Sites. This clickstream data contains the pages the visitors came from, the navigational paths they took, and the areas of the Sites they visited. From time to time, we track such information inside and outside of our Sites. Additionally, we may from time to time track and match clickstream data with personal information you provide to us in order to deliver content and other offerings - i.e., products and services that might improve your customer experience.
Web BeaconCertain email communications you may receive from us may contain "web beacons." Web beacons consist of a line of code on our Sites that delivers a small graphic image from another website or third-party ad server. The web beacon may not be visible as it is generally a 1x1 pixel that is often designed to blend into the background of a web page. Web beacons allow third parties to obtain information such as the IP address of the computer that downloaded the page on which the web beacon appears, the URL of the page on which the web beacon appears, the time the page containing the web beacon was viewed, the type of browser used to view the page and the information in cookies set by the third party. We may use web beacons for activities such as monitoring the effectiveness of ad banners in our email distributions.

Breaches of this Policy will be disclosed as required by law, regulation and Pitney Bowes policy.
United States Postal Service RequirementsPitney Bowes must comply with certain postage generation and PC Postage product user registration requirements, as set by the United States Postal Service (USPS) Information Based Indicia Program (IBIP). (The Information Based Indicia (IBI) is the item printed on an envelope that conveys evidence that postage has been paid and contains mail processing data requirements, including security-related data elements.) Under the program, Pitney Bowes is required to provide particular information to USPS. This information is used for postage account licensing and postage payment activities. This information includes name, address and contact information as well as information about your mailing behavior such as estimated postage volume.
While not required to do so by the USPS, Pitney Bowes also verifies recipient addresses with the USPS' Address Matching System (AMS), a database containing all valid United States addresses. Recipient names and addresses are collected to compare them to the AMS database. As required by USPS IBIP regulations, during the normal use of any internet-based postage delivery service ("Service"), the website visitor will provide mailing information for the generation of the postal indicia for the Service. In order to generate valid indicia, such Services may be required to collect and record the following information:
- Date and time of transaction
- Ascending and Descending Register value of Postage Meter
- Rate Category
- Recipient ZIP Code
The Service does not store recipient name and address information (except ZIP code), nor does it record the addresses of the mail you send. All information collected for USPS purposes is maintained in a secure environment in accordance with the provisions of this Statement. For more information on the USPS and the IBIP regulations please visit http://www.usps.com/common/docs/privpol.htm.
California Shine the Light LawIf you are a California resident, you may ask us to refrain from sharing your personal information (whether collected online or offline) among our affiliates for their marketing purposes, if the affiliates are separate legal entities. Please tell us your preference by contacting us as indicated in the "Your Choices" section of this Privacy Statement.

Google may ban your site for Adult content and not your account that's why the other poster said it's not a big deal. And I agree with him/her.
Here's my advice to the OP:
1. Remove the offending image(s) and adsense from that particular page(s). After 3 days, a robot will visit that page again and it will detect automatically. Adsense will still run on your site.

Eric: Or -
- I hear you just bought a goat. Where do you keep it?
- In my apartment.
- But what about that terrible, terrible smell?
- I figure that he'll just have to get used to it.
ANDREW SULLIVAN asks:
If Liz Cheney were not her father's daughter, why would she be on the Sunday talk shows? Why is she added to ABC news' roster? What experience does she have in journalism or government?
Elizabeth Cheney actually has substantial experience in government. She worked in the State Department for several years after college. After law school in the mid-90s she worked for the World Bank's International Finance Corporation and as a USAID officer at a few embassies. The crucial moment, though, was in 2002, when she was appointed deputy assistant secretary of state for near-eastern affairs. At the time of the appointment, the Washington Post's Dana Milbank wrote a piece on the pattern of nepotistic appointments in the Bush Administration, and Paul Krugman used Ms Cheney as evidence of a broad-based return of nepotism in American society. Ms Cheney later served as principal deputy assistant secretary of state for near-eastern affairs. (Her portfolio involved promoting democracy and civil society, and promoting America's image; the Bush Administration conceived of these two tasks as identical, which explains in large measure why it did such a lousy job of both.)
The problem with Ms Cheney is not inexperience, but family connections. Her appointment to powerful State Department positions, like her husband Philip Perry's appointment as general counsel of the Department of Homeland Security, was part of a self-reinforcing habit of nepotism and insularity that plagued George W Bush's administration. Mr Cheney famously appointed supremely loyal associates throughout the government, allowing him to exercise influence through vertical channels in the State Department, Defence Department, Department of Justice and elsewhere, and ensuring him a degree of power never before seen in a vice president. But his reliance on such loyal associates ultimately trapped him inside an echo chamber of bad advice on issues such as torture and military intervention abroad. The reason why you shouldn't appoint your daughter as your surrogate inside the State Department isn't necessarily that she lacks the relevant experience. It is that your daughter is very likely to give you an inflated sense of your own genius, and that relying for strategic advice on a familial clique is likely to drive you into a blind corner of actions that only look defensible to people who are related to you.

- I hear you just bought a goat. Where do you keep it?
- In my apartment.

- I figure that he'll just have to get used to it.
I fall on the other end of the humor spectrum, enjoying far too much jokes that are far too stupid and obvious, to wit:
"My dog has no nose."
"How does he smell?!?"
Or even better, a bad joke wrapped in another bad joke:
"Who was that ladle I saw you with last night?"
"That was no ladle, that was my knife!"
*cue rimshots*
Heimdall, there's an obvious joke about incestuous reproduction and the kinds of people that would oppose gay marriage. Far too obvious for me to go for it, in fact; I tend to favor jokes so obscure that only I get them.
(Which leaves the obvious dilemma of why I hang out here: there is no joke quite so obvious, crass, and common as American politics. Maybe it's the sheer scope of it that fascinates me...)
We all know that nepotism is a proud bipartisan tradition, right up there with corruption and hypocrisy.
Still, I like the point being made here: In this case, it wasn't the classic tale of nepotism allowing someone completely unqualified to take an important government position.
After all, Ms. Cheney went to a good college and worked in various government posts before joining the Bush Administration. It's not like she lived like Paris Hilton before getting the job.
Specifically, this was a case of nepotism allowing someone *qualified* to take a government post, but that family connection making the person a bad fit for the job.
Put another way, Dick Cheney raised Liz Cheney. Watch any Liz Cheney interview, and it's pretty clear she doesn't disagree with her dad a lot. Therefore, that made her a pretty terrible person for Dick Cheney and his cohort to hire as an adviser, because they know she'll mostly agree with them.
That's not a negative reflection of her intelligence - it's just that an adviser is someone who is supposed to have a different (not necessarily opposing) point of view, and Liz Cheney clearly shared the same point of view of her father and her father's friends.
Put another way, Liz Cheney would have been better working in the Obama Administration than the Bush Administration because then her opinions would be more than just an echo of the view of her superiors.
It is a sad truth that those who seek power and are willing to do what is necessary to obtain it are likely unfit to exercise it wisely. As Lord Acton said, "Almost all great men have been bad men."
While the link between nepotism and sycophancy is an interesting one, I would argue that a bigger problem with nepotism is that it constrains a meritocracy from forming within an organization.
Or, said differently, a person being in a positon for a reason other than merit, by definition, sub-optimises the effectiveness of an organization (with syncophancy being one of its dangers).
American's love the aristocracy and dynasties, so long as we don't talk about it in exactly those terms. This seems par for the course in American politics. I hate Mr. Cheney just about as much as you can hate someone you don't know, but I find it hard to get worked up about this one instance in what seems like a pretty definite pattern amongst the political class.
Lafayette, I wish Mr. Obama would disagree with Mr. Emanuel, his Congressional-Liason-In-Chief, on a more frequent basis. And Mr. Axelrod, as senior advisor, has been woefully lacking in communications co-ordination as of late.
eric, very interesting maps. I wonder what the rationale is behind supporting incestuous marriage but opposing gay marriage?
On topic, I agree w/Doug and eric in that sycophancy is the true problem.
Many family run companies (the supreme example of nepotism) do quite well while others fail spectacularly. I suspect that the difference in outcome has something to do with the difference between nepotism and sycophancy...
Yes indeed, k.a., Hillary Clinton, Robert Gates and Tim Geithner are all famous Chicagoans and have never disagreed with Mr Obama.
Everybody in the current administration is from Chicago. I'm uncomfortable with the President's reliance on Rahm Emmanuel and David Axelrod for strategic advice.
thischarmingmatt: "Politics should have the same rule as marriage, as in 'No two people closer than second cousins in the same government.' It's incestuous."
Bringing up that "rule" isn't actually helping your argument, I'm sorry to say.
Maybe your daughters give you an inflated sense of your own genius, cityless. It's been my experience that most parents' daughters delight in doing exactly the opposite.
That should be Mario Cuomo's son, and the ex brother in law of Ted Kennedy's niece (or Bobby's daughter) as GMA host.
What next? Andrea Mitchell married to Alan Greenspan? Dick Durbin's wife a lobbyist? Mayor Daley's brother a lobbyist! Ted Kennedy's nephew as Good Morning America host! The scandal....
Politics should have the same rule as marriage, as in "No two people closer than second cousins in the same government." It's incestuous.
I remember thinking during the Gore-Bush race that it was odd that no one ever asked them to define where they agreed and disagreed with the policies of their fathers. Were people afraid that it would sound like they were accusing someone of nepotism? It would have been a fair and relevant question, but I don't think anyone in the press ever asked it. Hopefully, next time...
Given that the president was the son of a former president, nepotism in the administration seems rather fitting.
ABC can, of course, hire anyone that they can to improve ratings. Mostly they sell the rhetoric of trivial truth.
It sounds like the problem isn't with nepotism but nepotism as a proxy for sycophancy. Monica Goodling, Harry Brown and David Addington were all useless due to the same constrained thinking. Liz Cheney just happened to inherit her unquestioning confidence in Dick Cheney from her father.

North Korea is still a rogue state, the country just recently conducted its third nuclear test in defiance of existing U.N. resolutions.
The North said the test had "greater explosive force" than the 2006 and 2009 tests that were widely seen as small-scale. Its KCNA news agency said it had used a "miniaturized" and lighter nuclear device, indicating that it had again used plutonium which is more suitable for use as a missile warhead.
The threat to use nuclear, chemical or biological weapons by rogue states or terroristic organizations is still there and that's why the U.S. government is providing funding for all kind of programs under different umbrellas.
One of the programs that is heavily supported by The Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority (BARDA) is the research on Acute Radiation Syndrome (ARS). An interesting company with an interesting program in ARS that is ready to take off is Soligenix (OTC:SNGX).
Why? The company could be granted with a multi-million contract which could have a huge impact on the stock price going forward.
But first I will tell you more about BARDA and ARS before I go to Soligenix. In my Final Note you will find my summary why I think Soligenix is a good investment choice.
The Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority
The Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority is the component of the Public Health Emergency Medical Countermeasures Enterprise that focuses on the advanced development, manufacturing and acquisition of medical countermeasures against chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear (CBRN) threats, pandemic influenza, and emerging infectious diseases. BARDA's staff includes experts in the fields of physical, chemical and biological sciences, engineering, clinical medicine, public health, product development, regulatory affairs, and program management.
Acute Radiation Syndrome
Acute Radiation Syndrome (ARS) (sometimes known as radiation toxicity or radiation sickness) is an acute illness caused by irradiation of the entire body (or most of the body) by a high dose of penetrating radiation in a very short period of time (usually a matter of minutes). The major cause of this syndrome is depletion of immature parenchymal stem cells in specific tissues. Examples of people who suffered from ARS are the survivors of the Hiroshima and Nagasaki atomic bombs, the firefighters that first responded after the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant event in 1986, and some unintentional exposures to sterilization irradiators. The three classic syndromes are:
•Bone marrow syndrome:(sometimes referred to as hematopoietic syndrome) the full syndrome will usually occur with a dose between 0.7 and 10 Gy (70 - 1000 rads) though mild symptoms may occur as low as 0.3 Gy or 30 rads4.
◦The survival rate of patients with this syndrome decreases with increasing dose. The primary cause of death is the destruction of the bone marrow, resulting in infection and hemorrhage.
•Gastrointestinal (GI) syndrome: the full syndrome will usually occur with a dose greater than approximately 10 Gy (1000 rads) although some symptoms may occur as low as 6 Gy or 600 rads.
◦Survival is extremely unlikely with this syndrome. Destructive and irreparable changes in the GI tract and bone marrow usually cause infection, dehydration, and electrolyte imbalance. Death usually occurs within 2 weeks.
•Cardiovascular/ Central Nervous System syndrome: the full syndrome will usually occur with a dose greater than approximately 50 Gy (5000 rads) although some symptoms may occur as low as 20 Gy or 2000 rads.
◦Death occurs within 3 days. Death likely is due to collapse of the circulatory system as well as increased pressure in the confining cranial vault as the result of increased fluid content caused by edema, vasculitis, and meningitis.
Investors who are eager to invest in biotech companies that are developing medicines against ARS have several choices in the U.S. biotech market. I will introduce to you three companies that could be worthy investments going forward. My main focus will be Soligenix because I think their prospects for a providing a substantial return on investment, given their current market cap, are extremely strong.
Soligenix, Inc. is a clinical- stage biopharmaceutical company that is focused on developing products to treat the side effects of cancer treatment and serious gastrointestinal diseases where there remains an unmet medical need, as well as developing several biodefense vaccines and therapeutics.
The company maintains two active business segments: BioTherapeutics and Vaccines/BioDefense. Soligenix's BioTherapeutics business segment intends to develop oral beclomethasone dipropionate (oral BDP) for indications such as pediatric Crohn's disease and acute radiation enteritis, as well as SGX942, a novel innate defense regulator technology for oral mucositis and various infectious disease applications. The Vaccines/BioDefense business segment includes development programs for RiVax™, a ricin toxin vaccine, VeloThrax™, an anthrax vaccine, and OrbeShield™, a gastrointestinal acute radiation syndrome ("GI ARS") therapeutic that appears to be picking up significant momentum within the various government agencies: National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), BARDA and FDA.
Soligenix is a relatively new player to the ARS arena. At the beginning of this year, BARDA had informed the company that after careful analysis and consideration, it was inviting Soligenix to submit a full contract proposal for a potential multi-year, multi-million dollar contract to develop OrbeShield™ from its current level of technical readiness to FDA approval. As of this writing, Soligenix has submitted this contract proposal to BARDA, see press release.
OrbeShield™ (an oral immediate and delayed release formulation of the topically active corticosteroid BDP) is being developed for the treatment of GI ARS. Corticosteroids are the best understood and most widely used class of anti-inflammatory drugs. BDP is a corticosteroid with predominantly topical activity in the GI tract that is already approved in aerosol and inhalant form for use in asthma and allergic rhinitis.
In a canine model of GI ARS, OrbeShield™ demonstrated a statistically significant survival advantage in animals that received OrbeShield™ therapy up to 24 hours following exposure to lethal doses of total body irradiation (TBI) when compared with placebo control animals (p=0.04). Median survival post TBI exposure in the control group was 8 days, compared to 87 days in the OrbeShield™ treated group. A subsequent study to replicate and expand upon the observations made in the canine model is being initiated and, like the previous study, is supported by a recent Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) grant award of $600,000.
On January 29, the FDA granted Soligenix "Fast Track" designation for OrbeShield™ for the reduction of mortality associated with GI ARS. The company has also previously received IND clearance and Orphan Drug designation from the FDA for oral BDP for the prevention of death following a potentially lethal dose of total body irradiation during or after a radiation disaster.
Fast track is a designation that the FDA reserves for a drug intended to treat a serious or life-threatening condition and one that demonstrates the potential to address an unmet medical need for the condition. Fast track designation is designed to facilitate the development and expedite the review of new drugs.
The main ARS competitors
Cleveland BioLabs, Inc.
Cleveland Biolabs (CBLI) is a clinical-stage biotechnology company with a focus on oncology and orphan drug development. Since the inception in 2003, the company has pursued the research, development and commercialization of proprietary products that have the potential to treat cancer, prevent and treat acute radiation syndrome and counteract the toxic effects of radio and chemotherapies for oncology patients.
Presently, they have nine product candidates in the pipeline. Their main product in development against ARS, which is currently supported by a $45 million contract award received in 2010, is Entolimod™ (CBLB502). Entolimod™ (CBLB502) is a recombinant protein that induces a spectrum of protective effects upon direct interaction and signaling via toll-like receptor 5 (TLR5), an innate immune system receptor. It has multiple advantages compared to agonists of other TLRs, including those that are currently under development for oncology applications, stemming from its unique mechanism of action.
Osiris Therapeutics
Osiris Therapeutics, Inc. (OSIR) is a leading stem cell company focused on developing and marketing products to treat medical conditions in the inflammatory, autoimmune, orthopedic and cardiovascular areas. Osiris' stem cell products have significant therapeutic potential because of their ability to regulate inflammation, promote tissue regeneration and prevent pathological scar formation.
Their main product in development against ARS, which is supported by a $225 million contract award received in 2008, is Prochymal™, a formulation of adult stem cells derived from bone marrow, to treat the potentially lethal complications of acute radiation syndrome (ARS). Prochymal™ is a highly purified formulation of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) that are grown in culture, permitting large-scale production. The MSCs utilized in Prochymal™ are isolated from the bone marrow of healthy adult donors. Because the cells can be expanded, thousands of doses can be produced from a single donation.
Final note
There are currently no FDA-approved treatments for ARS. In the area of radiation-protective antidotes, there are a number of companies in direct competition with each other, but when you look at those developing therapies specific for the GI component of ARS, the field narrows to just a few key players, such as RxBio, Inc., the University of Arkansas Medical Sciences Center, and Soligenix. And of these companies Soligenix, with its OrbeShield™, in my opinion, appears to be the most promising., because their drug is already generally understood by the FDA to be safe, as the FDA has previously approved the active ingredient BDP, in OrbeShield™. Pursuant to their recent contract submission to BARDA (at BARDA's request), the company is nicely positioned for its first potentially large contract where it can bring in big money going forward, which will be very beneficial for both the company and its investors, especially given where the company's market cap and stock price are today. Below is a table illustrating significant BARDA and Department of Defense (DOD) awards for ARS/GI ARS product development in chronological order:
Company | Compound | ARS/ | Stage of Development | Award Amount | Date of Award | Agency |
Osiris Therapeutics | Prochymal | ARS | Phase 1 | $225 million | January-08 | DoD |
Cleveland Biolabs | CBLB502 | ARS | Pre-clinical | $15.6 million | sep-08 | BARDA |
Cellerant | CLT-008 | ARS | Phase 1 | $11 million | sep-08 | BARDA |
Cleveland Biolabs | CBLB502 | ARS | Phase 1 | $45 million | sep-10 | DoD |
Cellerant | CLT-008 | ARS | Phase 1 | $153 million | sep-10 | BARDA |
Aeolus | AEOL 10150 | ARS | Pre-clinical | $118 million | February-11 | BARDA |
Neumedicines | HemaMax | ARS | Pre-clinical | $17 million | sep-11 | BARDA |
RxBio | Rx100 | GI ARS | Pre-clinical | $15 million | sep-11 | BARDA |
Araim Pharmaceuticals | ARA 290 | ARS | Phase 1 | $3.1 million | sep-11 | BARDA |
University of Arkansas/Novartis | Pasireotide | GI ARS | Phase 1 | $4.5 million | sep-11 | BARDA |
With a market cap of only $20 million, I think Soligenix could be an interesting investment opportunity going forward. Given the many ARS awards previously handed out by BARDA and DoD, and the fact that BARDA invited Soligenix to submit a proposal for funding, I think the chances are good that they receive a multi-million dollar contract award. Further, the company can compete against its competition based on the following differentiating attributes of OrbeShield™:
• Generally more advanced than other programs specifically targeting GI ARS
* Oral tablets making self-administration easy for the masses
• Extensive human safety database
• Ability to formulate and manufacture at large scale and under cGMP conditions
• Long-term drug stability that does not require any special storage (e.g., refrigeration)
• Promising pre-clinical data in a large animal model
Risks involved
The companies mentioned in this article are subject to risks common to companies in the biotechnology industry including, but not limited to, development of new technological innovations, dependence on key personnel, protections of proprietary technology, compliance with FDA regulations, litigation, and product liability.

Loudoun Awakening 2011 Celebrates Fourth Annual Bible Reading Marathon
It was a mighty week in Leesburg. For more information call 703-777-6502.
Six Day, Ninety Hour Marathon Kick-off began with a public reading of the Hebrew Blessing and the Torah at the Loudoun County Courthouse on Saturday April 30. The marathon continued through Thursday May 5 at noon.
The 2011 Bible Reading Marathon Judeo-Christian opening worship program kicked off at Noon on the steps of the old Leesburg Courthouse with cool but pleasant weather to set the stage for this blessed, spirit filled, anointed and mighty week. The program then moved over to the Loudoun Awakening tent positioned on North King Street on the north side of the law library to commence the six days and nights of public reading of the entire Bible from Genesis to Revelation.
People have asked me about the value of a public reading of the Word of God. There is great Old Testament precedent for the recognition in that great book-centered worship service reported in Nehemiah 8:8, "They [the priests] read from the book, from the Law of God, clearly, and they gave it sense so that the people understood the reading."
Our earnest desire is to reveal to our community the powerful Word of God. The Bible's transforming power is guaranteed. Jesus Christ set the example of how important the Word was to Him and should be to us. When tempted by Satan, Jesus quoted the Word. "Man does not live by bread alone; but by every Word that proceeds out of the mouth of God." – Matthew 4:4 and Deuteronomy 8:3
There is power in the Word of God. It changes people, and transforms cultures. We are publicly proclaiming and declaring the Word of God over Loudoun County fully believing that by pursuing this effort, those who hear us may be exposed to the Word of God even for the very first time. This also brings unity to the Church because it is done multi denominationally. No one church or denomination is supporting our event. Those of us who believe in the Power of God's Word are coming together outside of our church walls and publicly declaring our faith in God and His Word at the County Courthouse.
Through the Bible Reading Marathon, we celebrate our faith. We proclaim the importance of the Bible to Loudoun's past, present and future and we celebrate the religious freedom we enjoy in this nation.
Of special note was that Ken Reid (Leesburg Town Council) opened the ninety hour Bible Reading by citing the Hebrew Blessing in Hebrew before the reading of Genesis 1. Ken explained to the audience the purpose and history of the 'blessing' when Jews gave the blessing before the first public reading and after the last reading of the Torah. Other elected officials to read from Genesis were Kevin Wright, Leesburg Vice Mayor, Marty Martinez, Leesburg Councilman, Gary Clemens, Clerk of the Court, Bob Wertz, Commissioner of Revenue and Eugene Delgaudio, Sterling Supervisor. Below is the Hebrew text and English translation from Ken Reid's presentation.
Barchu et Adonai ha-m'vorach
