EDITORIAL: Being a Gunfighter in an Outlaw World
With a culture that says call 911 first, people today have become too reliant on the promise of help when they find themselves in real self defense situations, during which you usually have only yourself to count on. The solution? Think like a gunfighter. Read more

New arrivals in Malawi are not so different from me
New arrivals in Malawi are not so different from me
This piece originally appeared in full at "The Enterprise."
The first few days and weeks in Malawi can be overwhelming. The 20-hour flight seems endless, and with hardly any sleep it's easy to get flustered. Reading any of the hundreds of books about this continent can never be a match for learning about Africa when living here. Years ago in grade school we were taught about Africa as a continent…

It's been a while, so I figured with the end of the summer I would add something new.
Pizza can start many an argument. I love all styles of pizza, as long as they are done well. But when it comes to homemade pizza, I know only one style. This is the style I grew up with being made by my mother and grandmother. This is the only way I make pizza at home. I guess you would call it Sicilian or sheet pizza. It has a thicker, doughy crust and you cut it in squares. It is the kind of pizza I was eating from street vendors in Italy.
So if you like your thin crust or New York style or Chicago style, that's great. But this is how it's done in my house.
Dough (makes a 2lb dough)
2 packages of dry, active yeast
1 1/2 cups of warm water
3 tbsp olive oil
3 cups plus one cup of flour
2 tsp sugar
2 tsp salt
Put yeast, water and oil in a bowl. Let sit for about 10 minutes to activate yeast. In a large bowl, put 3 cups flour, sugar and salt. Make a well and add yeast mix. Mix well. Fold dough on a floured board. Kneed in last cup of flour.
Cover dough and let rise for 1 1/2 hour.
1 2lb dough
16oz mozzarella
about 1 cup of crushed tomatoes
Romano cheese
Olive Oil
Spread dough on a half sheet pan or cookie sheet. I use an 18x13x1 half sheet pan. Spread mozzarella evenly over the dough leaving about half an inch to an inch from the edge. I use shredded mozzarella, but the same idea applies to chunks or slices. Lightly spread tomatoes over cheese. Less is more; just a very light coating. Sprinkle sugar, salt, pepper and oregano over entire pizza ensuring you hit every area covered by tomato. Use a healthy handful of Romano evenly over the same area. Finish by drizzling olive oil over entire pizza. Rub oil into exposed dough.
Cook for 20 minutes in a 425 degree oven.

My dear Autie JoAnn has been following my recipe posts and likes to share how differently she does things. I love it. That is the beauty of food. After I posted my Alfredo sauce recipe, she told me that it was nothing like her recipe. Her recipe came from my grandmother; she even has the hand written version to prove it. So, on a snowy Saturday, I made it and wow, it was amazing.
Here it is.
Egg noodles or fettucine
1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup milk
1 cup parmesan
1/2 cup romano
1 tbsp parsley
Cook noodles. Heat butter and milk over low heat until butter is melted. Add parsley, salt and pepper. Drain noodles. Add cheese (to noodles). Toss lightly. Add milk and butter warm. Toss again until noodles are well coated.
My grandmother's words. An amazing recipe. Thank you, Auntie JoAnn.
*Per request of Meighan Giotta*
So this recipe is not quite the same as my mother taught me. She uses both Romano and Parmigiano; I only use Romano. I also remember there being milk and cream involved. This is how I make it.
1 pint heavy cream
1 stick of butter
2 big handfuls grated Romano cheese
Handful of chopped parsley
In a sauce pan, put cream and butter. Turn heat to medium. Let butter melt and cream come to a light simmer. Let simmer for no more than a minute. Whisk in the cheese. Whisk until cheese has completely melted.
You know you have enough cheese when the sauce sticks to the back of a spoon.
Pour over whatever macaroni you choose. Though traditionally fettuccine (as pictured below), any will do. Add parsley and stir (I guess I forgot parsley this night).
Here is the key: you have to let it sit. The macaroni absorbs the sauce and everything gets nice and creamy. If you prefer soupy, dig in, but I think letting it stand for 10-15 minutes makes it that much better.
This is another summertime specialty. This works best with larger zucchini from the garden or farm stand; not the little guys from the grocery store.
1 good sized zucchini
1 cup of breadcrumbs
Romano cheese
Dried basil and mint (2 basil to 1 mint)
Salt and pepper
(See Cutlets for images on amounts)
1 medium onion
Crushed tomatoes
Olive Oil
Cut zucchini in half the short way and then cut both pieces in half the long way. To create a shell for the stuffing, cut out the pulp from the zucchini and reserve.
Roughly chop the onion. Cut zucchini pulp into 1/2 inch or smaller cubes. Use roughly the same amount of pulp as you use onion. Mix breadcrumbs and all its seasonings in a bowl. Add onion and pulp. Add just enough crushed tomatoes to hold the mixture together.
Season zucchini shells with salt and pepper. Fill shells to the top. Drizzle with olive oil.
Bake for 45 minutes at 375 degrees or until stuffing is crusted and zucchini is soft.
This recipe works for chicken, beef, veal or pork (as I used in the pictures). The seasoned bread crumbs measurements are, shall we say, far from exact, so I took pictures each step of the way so you get the idea. I always taste along the way to make sure they are the right flavor. Heavy on the herbs is never bad; heavy on the salt can be deadly. If you mix too much bread crumbs, they will keep in the refrigerator, as long as kept dry, for as long as you need them.
1-1 1/2 lb of meat
Bread crumbs
Grated Romano cheese
Dried basil and mint (2 basil to 1 mint mix)
Fresh parsley
3 Eggs
Oil for frying
First, pound meat until about 1/4 inch thick.
Start with about 2 cups of bread crumbs
Two handfuls of Romano
A handful of basil and mint mix
About 2 tps of salt
About the same for pepper
And a few sprigs of parsley, chopped.
Create a dredging station of flour, egg and bread crumbs.
Dredge meat in flour, then egg, then bread crumbs. Coating is thin, but will expand as fried.
Heat about a 1/4 inch of oil in a deep frying pan on medium high heat. Make sure oil is hot enough to sizzle when meat is added or the coating will absorb the oil and make cutlets heavy. If oil is too hot and smoking, cutlets will burn.
Cook on first side for about 4 minutes or until cutlet moves loosely in the pan.
Cook on the second side for about three minutes or until moves loosely in the pan.
Eat them hot, room temperature or cold out of the refrigerator.
This is a great summer side dish, one I always make with my first harvesting of green and wax beans. Easy and only one pot. This is good for 2-4 people, depending on what you are having with it.
1/2 lb green, wax and/or flat (Italian) beans
3 medium or 6 small potatoes cut into quarters (I used 6 baby red potatoes in the pictures)
3 cloves of garlic, smashed and cut into large chunks
Olive Oil
Boil a pot of salted water, big enough to fit and cover all beans and potatoes.
Add potatoes, beans and garlic to water. Cook until potatoes are soft 8-10 minutes. Strain beans, potatoes and garlic. Let sit to dry for a few minutes.
Drizzle with olive oil before serving.
So, here I am going to post recipes for everyone. These are mostly going to be family recipes; things I grew up eating; things handed down to me through my mother, mostly. So you can guess these will primarily be of the Italian flavor. Use them, share them and most of all, enjoy them.

Negative Recruiting Reaches Staggering DepthsPosted by Chris Johnson on September 18th, 2013
Chris Johnson is an RTC Columnist. He can be reached @ChrisDJohnsonn.
Most college hoops fans follow the game purely for their own enjoyment. They don't see what goes on behind the scenes – the extreme measures programs often take to keep their student-athletes eligible and the hostile interplay between opposing players. And they most certainly do not know everything there is to know about recruiting. The practice seems simple enough: woo players with the promise of playing time, high scoring totals, and wins; drop huge sums on gaudy locker rooms, maybe a game console or two; superimpose a silhouette of your school's logo/mascot at midcourt, just to give that four-star shooting guard something to look at, something the other schools don't have, every time he takes the floor. All of this is fair game, but anyone with even scant knowledge of college basketball recruiting, particularly amongst the best schools and players, can tell you there's much more to it than shiny facilities and the prospect of maintaining a gaudy scoring average in an uptempo offense. The presence of agents, shoe company representatives, and other third parties, all attempting to influence top-level recruits' decisions in one way or another – and quite often funneling them to a particular school – has only increased in recent years. Coaches and players are not oblivious to this; it's not hard for them to point out those who are not playing by the rules.
That's just one unseemly aspect fans rarely, if ever, get to experience. The number of top-ranked players who don't come across some type of illicit financial arrangement – who are not offered something from someone – over the course of their recruitment is probably smaller than anyone not directly involved with recruiting could possibly imagine. Another side, an arguably worse one, is the concept of negative recruiting, wherein coaches bash coaches from programs, or simply bash their programs, in an effort to lead players away from competitors. It can be anything from pointing out a particularly unsavory aspect of one coach's resume, to critiquing his preferred style of play, to commenting on the lack of fan or institutional support at his program. Sometimes, things get ugly, and on Tuesday, we learned of one particularly disconcerting case involving Texas A&M coach Billy Kennedy.

In light of the probably fake 2012 NFL schedule making the rounds today, I thought it would be fun to take a look at the opponents the Chiefs have this season and try to determine which games, if any, will be in primetime.
We know that the Chiefs will have at least one primetime game as the NFL has expanded its Thursday night football schedule to include Thursday all 32 NFL teams. Every team will now play a game televised on NFL Network. If you have Time Warner Cable and live outside of Kansas City, you won't get to see it.
While we don't know what order the games will be played in, we do know what teams the Chiefs will be playing. That can give us a clue as to which games might be broadcast nationally.
The NFL tries to keep terrible teams and poor draws off the national stage. There are exceptions of course. The Dallas Cowboys, for instance, could go 0-16 for a decade and they would still get multiple primetime games.
The Chiefs are a popular team but aren't a big draw like the Cowboys so they need to be competitive to find themselves bathed in the national spotlight. Last year's 7-9 season could hurt them, however, I think they could project to be good enough to snag an extra primetime game or two.
Let's look at the possibilities. Here are the teams the Chiefs will play next season:
Raiders, Chargers, Broncos, Steelers, Browns, Ravens, Bengals, Bills, Colts, Saints, Falcons, Panthers, Buccaneers.
Most Likely Primetime Games
Saints, Falcons, Broncos, Steelers
Any one of these games could land on primetime. The Steelers are always a popular draw, the Saints and the Falcons have been consistently good the last few years and are thus featured quite a bit in primetime. The Broncos now have Peyton Manning and are likely to find themselves on TV quite a bit.
The two most likely here, I think, are the Broncos and Steelers. The Broncos are a division rival and Arrowhead has made two great showings in a row on Monday Night Football. Peyton Manning going to Arrowhead on MNF would give the opportunity for the TV crews to put together a ton of Joe Montana/Elway/Chiefs/Broncos footage to hype up the game.
As for the Steelers, the network's can bill that as a Todd Haley revenge game. I see that game as more of a Sunday night option, rather than a MNF contest.
Other Possibilities
Ravens, Raiders, Chargers
These games could also end up in Primetime. The Ravens and the Chiefs have a little history thanks to their 2010 playoff game and the Ravens are always a possibility to be in primetime. Still, I think that game reeks of an early season 1PM eastern game. If the NFL is going to put the Ravens on primetime, they probably want them playing the Steelers or Patriots.
The Raiders and Chargers have to be included for a couple of reasons. The season opener on MNF always features two games and usually the late game features a west coast team. The Chiefs and Chargers put on a good show in 2010 and the Raiders are another popular choice for the NFL. A Chiefs/Raiders matchup would be possible, though I think the NFL is going to try to squeeze Peyton Manning in wherever they can. Saving his debut with the Donkey's until the last game of the first week of the season would be a nice tension-builder. So while a Chiefs/Broncos or Chiefs/Raiders MNF opener is possible, the NFL would probably go with Raiders/Broncos due to Oakland popularity.
Still, Raiders/Chiefs always has to be considered a possibility.
Not Going To Happen
Browns, Bengals, Colts, Bills, Panthers, Bucs
I just don't see any of these games being televised nationally. There is a minor possibility that the NFL will want to get Andrew Luck on the big stage once or twice but likely not against the Chiefs. Nobody outside of KC or NY cares about the budding Chiefs/Bills rivalry and despite the fact that the teams seem to play every season, it is usually because they both finished in last place and the games are traditionally awful.
It is possible that one of these games could be the one that ends up in the guaranteed Thursday nigh slot but I doubt it.
The good news is that all six of those games should be pretty winnable for the Chiefs. Winning those six and splitting the division would give KC nine wins.
The Ravens, Saints, Falcons and Steelers are going to be tough. If the Chiefs are truly ready to win a playoff game, they'll need to show they can hang with those teams.
KC's schedule will be challenging this year but it doesn't look to be quite as tough as last year's gauntlet.
What do you think Addicts? Outside of the one Thursday night game, will the Chiefs see any primetime action?

Silver Pigsby Lindsey Davis
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
Winner of the Best First Novel award from the Authors' Club, and debut of the Didius Falco mystery series.
It is A.D. 70, when Roman P.I. Marcus Didius Falco runs into comely Sosia Camillina on the steps of the Forum. It seems she's being chased by a few unsavories for a stockpile of silver pigs--silver ingots--but Falco wants more information. What he gets is a whiff of treason and a one-way ticket to his own funeral pyre....
"It has everything: mystery, pace, wit, fascinating scholarship, and above all, two protagonists for whom, by the end, I feel genuine affection, and want to meet again."

Tech blunders, catastrophes and epic fails of 2012: review
Summary: Thanksgiving is over, and we're heading into December. It's time for a look back at all the blunders, catastrophes, epic fails and major screw-ups of 2012.

Nokia's fake demo revealed by news outlets
More awkward to stomach, after Nokia had to eat a whole bowl full of humble pie after it admitted that it faked its Lumia smartphone camera demonstration. While it looked like two people in love on bicycles videoing each other (unsafely, might I add: keep two hands on the handlebars) as they cycled on a sea front, news site The Verge saw a snapshot of a reflection in a window of a DSLR-laden film crew recording the whole thing.
Nokia owned up to the 'mistake' and said the video was produced to "simulate" images using the new optical image stabilization (OIS) technology. Still, red faces all round in Helsinki.
Apple's crumbling share price
In just over two months, Apple's share price hit a record high of $700 a share, and then plummeted to $525 a share in mid-November. What happened? A series of mistakes, missteps and a management shake-up caused the Cupertino, Calif.-based technology giant to fall dramatically only weeks after the iPhone 5 and iPad mini -- along with a bevy of other hardware refreshes -- were launched. The share price fall wiped more than $150 billion off the firm's market cap and many began to question Apple's decision-making processes.
Scott Forstall, the iOS chief, was pushed out of the company, despite prior suggestions that he could one day replace chief executive Tim Cook. Apple is now beginning its recovery, but for a while things looked tense.
Google's $12.5bn acquisition of Motorola, already $13bn
Google bought Motorola Mobility for $12.5 billion but since its acquisition, the figure has risen to $13 billion thanks to the incurring of restructuring costs. In buying the smartphone-building unit, Google acquired around 17,000 patents, which it needed to fend off legal challenges from its Android mobile operating system, but the division continues to hemorrhage money.
However, a new lawsuit may determine exactly how much those 17,000 patents are worth, and it would be seriously embarrassing for the search giant if those patents did not in fact amount to, or even close to the $12.5 billion the firm paid for Motorola Mobility in the first place.

For the items you sell on CC (especially for the Wordpress plugins), what you use on the preview website: a free or a premium wordpress theme?
I mean which one is allowed?
OriginalEXE says
Both is allowed, does not matter.
I use default twenty eleven theme. From now on I'll use TwentyTwelve
greenline says
Thanks. I was confused by all these stories about wordpress banning codecanyon members from WordCamp…I wanted to make sure, but still…I am not so sure if themes from wordpress.org are free for both personal & commercial use. I just decided I will ask for permission to theme's developer, maybe that's the safest way to do that.

You can do whatever you want with themes from wp .org You can even sell them.

Kurt Busch storms into contention for Chase spot
LOUDON, N.H. — Kurt Busch has lost rides with top teams. He's paid the price for losing his cool more times than anyone in NASCAR can count.
Busch, though, has never lost his ability to drive.
He's kept his composure, kept that superior skill behind the wheel and kept pace this season with the best in the Cup series.
Yes, Jimmie Johnson is again the driver to beat.
Kevin Harvick and Matt Kenseth are primed to be in the thick of championships contention.

IP address 169.254.192.163/17 hacking my computer?
The past 2 days I have come home and found my MMORPG disconnected and in it's place is a message from Comodo firewall that I have joined a new network from IP address 169.254.192.163/17.
Obviously, not even being home, I have joined no such network. I don't know who this IP address belongs to and I don't think it's my neighbor trying to get into my system to use my Wifi because a search of the IP address puts it in another state.
Anyone know what's going on here or what I can do to stop it? I tried to block the IP address in Comodo, but that only blocks incoming, not outgoing and I have no idea if I'm already on this person's network for outgoing info....
Please assist.

That IP address means that your computer can't get an IP address, which means that something has gone wrong. Here's a brief recap of the 169.254.xx.xx addresses:
Why can't I connect with a 169.254.x.x IP address?
This can be solved by something as simple as rebooting your router. I'd try that and see if it fixes your problem.
|My System Specs
|25 Mar 2012
thanks for the reply. Why would it tell me I've joined a network if it just can't access my IP address? And why isn't it happening to my other computers connected to the same router? and I did find that IP address online (in Arkansas).
|My System Specs
|25 Mar 2012
W7 Pro SP1 64bit
What search tool or website showed that IP in Arkansas? Can you locate that IP using the same search tool on your other computers or does it only work on the computer that has the problem you are posting about?
I'm wondering if it is a game related VPN. Maybe the game server drops your connection and Windows assigns the "169 IP" to the virtual NIC. This could happen to other computers that were dropped by the server, but still in the tunnel. In other words, you are no longer connected to the game server, but you are still connected to other computers that are also no longer connected to the game server. If this is what is happening, then it sounds like a poorly implemented VPN.
When your firewall software gives you this notification that you have joined this network, can you still get to the internet - can you still surf the web?
|My System Specs
|25 Mar 2012
There are no valid external IP addresses in the 169.254.xx.xx range. The 169.254.xx.xx is known as APIPA (automatic private IP addressing), and it happens when there is no DHCP server available to the computer. Windows will automatically assign an IP in this range when DHCP is lost, and it continually checks for a valid DHCP server every 5 minutes or so, and it will automatically stop using APIPA when a valid IP address and gateway is assigned. You couldn't connect to anyone outside of your local network if you have this IP address, because the computer would have no default gateway from which to communicate.
If all of your other computers work fine, then there must be something unique on this particular computer that's causing a loss of DHCP. If you don't use your MMORPG, does it continue to happen? If it doesn't, then look at the MMORPG. If it continues, I'd look closely at Comodo. Personally I have no use for anything other than MSE, so I'd completely uninstall it and see if the network connection issue stops.
|My System Specs
|26 Mar 2012
Again, thanks for the replies. I would never know any of this without people to help^^.
I don't know if I can connect to the web when it happens, because both times seemed to be around the same time of day and both times, I wasn't home. When I got home and saw the messages about the Network, I was able to connect to the internet no problem.
It wasn't just Comodo which gave me the network message, Bitdefender also did. So something definitely happened.
Yes, it's isolated to my computer, but my other computer is also connected to the same MMORPG and it's not happening on that one.
Both times, I dced on the game on my computer, but the other computer did not DC on the game.
I found the IP address in a PDF doc which listed IP addresses for various networks in Arkansas. It was the only one on the entire internet I could find that matched exactly the IP address I was given as a Network I was trying to connect to. From what you're saying, it now just sounds like a coincidence and maybe those addresses were internal.
|My System Specs
|26 Mar 2012
As mentioned by kegobeer, as well as referenced in the article he linked to, there would be no legitimate way to connect to the net with that IP address.
If your machine is set up to get an address from a DHCP server, then you're likely getting a valid address for a set period of time. This may correspond with the fact that you mention that it happened twice, both at the same time of day. These address "leases" are often set to expire after 24 hours. I've seen this same thing happen on a few user's computers after they had made changes or upgraded/added software firewalls. In those cases all it took was changing settings in the firewall to enable acceptance of the new lease (in which case the PC typically keeps the same valid address it had when the old lease expired).
Try doing an ipconfig/all. You'll likely see a lease obtained/expires timestamp. If so, does it correspond with your times?
|My System Specs
|26 Mar 2012
I tried the ipconfig/all and it looks like it was reset when I got home and restarted my computer after seeing the network message. I'm not sure if it was like that before the computer restart, but as it stands right now, the times correspond with a later time than when I got home. I guess I'll see tomorrow what happens. Thanks again^^
|My System Specs
|26 Mar 2012
Your response made me think about this some more (it's been a long, long time since I've seen this happen). If I am remembering this correctly, it was a software firewall block with the automatic request (outbound from the PC) for a new lease.
In any case, you would always lose it 24 hours after you re-establish a new valid address.

PITTSBURGH - OCTOBER 2: Marian Gaborik #10 of the New York Rangers skates against the Pittsburgh Penguins on October 2, 2009 at Mellon Arena in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. (Photo by Jamie Sabau/Getty Images)
John Buccigross at ESPN, revisits the Marian Gaborik for Dan Boyle trade rumor he started last month in his recent Mother of All Mailbags column..."Trading Gaborik for Boyle would deepen the Rangers' defense and give them a top-six forward group of Brad Richards, Nash, Ryan Callahan, Derek Stepan, Carl Hagelin and Kreider, which is pretty strong if Kreider develops into the NHL force he appears destined to become. Keeping Gaborik would give them a little more depth and allow one of those players to drop to the third line. I suppose that would be Kreider, but he looked like one of the Rangers' better players in the playoffs and is a horse who needs to run and play with good players. It will be interesting to see. The scoring really drops off after the first two lines for the Rangers."...Buccigross has been hit or miss on his rumors, so take this with a grain of salt....as far as the benefit of the trade for the Rangers, I hate it. Aging (36-years old), over the hill...

|In Person
An acute need for an appendicitis test attracted an IVD industry veteran to a Colorado firm with promising blood-based technology.
|Stephen Lundy of Venaxis Inc. (formerly AspenBio Pharma)
Any parent who has rushed to Urgent Care with a toddler shrieking in abdominal pain will appreciate the big opportunity Stephen Lundy saw when he became head of Venaxis Inc. (formerly AspenBio Pharma). A 25-year veteran of the IVD industry, Lundy says the market potential of the appendicitis blood test that the company was developing lured him from his CEO post at MicroPhage to Venaxis's Colorado headquarters.
When Lundy arrived there in March 2010, he faced a business emergency of his own. Problems with a clinical trial required the new CEO to find the root cause and decide whether to retool the test. Venaxis determined it was a logistical problem and decided to proceed. "What I wanted to do was try to improve the test if we could," Lundy says. "We went back into R&D mode and looked at other biomarkers. Ultimately, we developed the product that we ended up successfully putting through a 503-patient study."
The decision to proceed was spurred in part by Lundy's experience as vice president of sales and marketing from 2003 to 2008 at GeneOhm Sciences, where he helped launch the first MRSA molecular assay. He sees the same "first-mover advantage" with the company's blood-based appendicitis test, which is designed to help medical staff rule out appendicitis in young patients and lessen the need for potentially damaging exposure to CT scans. Lundy says that improvements in the test's "negative predictive" capability have been borne out in the latest 503-patient study.
Venaxis is grooming its blood-based appendicitis test for FDA approval and CE-mark filing. To support those efforts, Lundy recently hired Don Hurd, a former MicroPhage executive, as chief commercial officer; and Lyndal Hesterberg, a cofounder of Thermo BioStar, which was one of the first device companies to commercialize lateral-flow technology, Lundy says. Under Lundy's guidance, Venaxis also has licensed its animal health assets in order to focus on its IVD business, has kept investors on board to the tune of more than $12 million, and is ramping up a new clinical trial.
In this interview, Lundy discusses his first big decision as Venaxis's CEO, clinical study concerns, how pricing factors affect test development, whether experience as a military officer can help in the private sector, and other topics.
Stephen Lundy: My background is 25 years in IVD, primarily in launching new tests or services. I immediately saw an opportunity at Venaxis with a very large clinical need to have a blood test in the appendicitis area and have a first-mover advantage very similar to what we did at GeneOhm Sciences.
I was excited to come on board. In 2010, the company was in the process of completing a pivotal trial of what we call the
|Blood-based appendicitis test by Venaxis Inc.
ELISA, a more complex version of the product that will be taken to market. At the time, the company had a laboratory version of the test. The lateral-flow version of the test had not been completed, but the strategy was to get the ELISA version of the product through FDA. It was in the process of completing a clinical trial. Shortly after I came on board, we received the results of that blind study. They were not what we had expected. The test had very high sensitivity and low specificity.
Ultimately, those data were not submitted to FDA. What I had to do as CEO very quickly was to figure out, "Okay, where do we go from here?" We had to analyze the problem and determine whether it was with the test or with something else. We determined it was logistics. To make a long story short, there were issues about the way the study was run from a logistical standpoint [that involved] transporting specimens across the country. When we made that determination, I decided it was worth going forward [because] there was still a lot of value in the technology we had with the biomarker MRP 8/14.
What I wanted to do was try to improve the test if we could. We went back into R&D mode and looked at other biomarkers. Ultimately, we developed a multi-marker product that we took successfully through a 500-patient study.
The first determination was, "Do we go forward?" and the second was, "How?" And we really spent the last couple of years getting the product to where it is today.
Yes. I said that for a couple of reasons. We completed development of the three-biomarker panel and the algorithm. But more importantly, we validated in a very well-run, 500-plus patient study across 11 hospitals in the United States that the new test had significantly better performance than we'd seen in the past. We had 97% negative predictive value as opposed to 90 to 91% with a single biomarker. That was important.
The other piece was that we completed the development of the lateral-flow rapid platform, and now we're ramping up getting ready to go into manufacturing. We've turned corners both from a validation standpoint and from a
product-development standpoint.
The test uses a blood sample from the patient [and] is actually run from plasma. Centrifugation [is required] to separate plasma from whole blood. During the previous trial, the technique for pipetting and spinning down the sample at the hospital was not of the quality needed for a sample that should be shipped, given the nature of the markers being evaluated. We learned over the course of time and during transportation for remaining cells that, when those mix, it produces a reaction that actually creates an elevation of the biomarker, falsely.
We learned, first of all, that the sample needs to be processed very well, particularly if the sample won't be run for more than 24 hours. With the trial that we're going to embark upon soon, we're actually going to be running the test at the hospital site. So we're doing a very high-quality sample—spinning the sample, pipetting plasma—but in addition, the test will be done immediately, reducing any problem of transportation or cell lysis. Of course, we're being very careful just to pipette plasma, but the whole transportation piece is no longer an issue.
One of the things we decided when we hired Don Hurd to be chief commercial officer [is] that he really needed to look at Europe. We had a really good understanding of the U.S. market, I believe. We had to figure out if there's an opportunity [in Europe], and, indeed, there is quite an opportunity. The value proposition is a little bit different. They don't do as many CT scans in Europe [as they do in the United States]. What they tend to do with patients who have abdominal pain is admit them to the hospital, so the savings in terms of length of stay is significant.
The path to bring your product into Europe, where you don't have to go through an FDA trial, is a bit more streamlined than in the United States. When the product is ready by virtue of the fact that you can manufacture, via GMP, lots of material, and you have enough data to support the claims on the product, which we have from the 2011 study, you can self-certify with a CE mark and launch.
The investors that came in this time clearly wanted to talk about, "If Venaxis raises this round of funding, where does that get us to? Does that take us to enough value-creation milestones that we have a good chance of getting a nice return on the investment in the short term and then setting up the company for the long term?"
The key was convincing investors that we are ready to execute this plan, that the FDA process has a good chance of going well, that we have a good plan for accomplishing the clinical trial, that obtaining a CE mark in Europe is achievable, and so forth. At the end of the day they want to see that we can achieve some meaningful milestones. That was really what the discussion was about during the recent roadshow.
To be honest with you, I don't know that it's the preferred path. I would much rather launch in the United States at the same time. The value proposition here is clean [and] straightforward. We have relationships with a number of key opinion leaders and hospitals—20-plus hospitals are lined up for upcoming clinical trials. Although Europe represents a sizeable market, I wouldn't say it's the preferred path, because it involves a number of countries and languages, but clearly it is a way to validate that there's a need for the product, that we can produce the product, [and] that customers will buy it.
The fact is that we're ready to go there, we have a good understanding of the market, we know the distributors we want to work with, and we have a person on the ground who is helping us. It's actually someone I worked with at GeneOhm about five or six years ago, so I've got a lot of confidence that we have a good understanding of what we need to do there, and it makes sense to do that in parallel with running the clinical trial over here.
As I mentioned, you can CE-mark a product in Europe, meaning you can ship it into Europe, at the time that you're ready to start a clinical trial. Everything the FDA expects you to do before you start a pivotal trial in the United States, those are the things that are part of the CE marking process. You must have data that support the intended use of the product, you need ISO certification of your facility, and you need to be able to produce lots of materials.
That's exactly what we needed for the clinical trial, and when we accomplish those things we CE-mark. You can start selling there at the time you start the pivotal trial here, which means you probably have a year's head start, if you will.
It was very important because we want to have our focus on human diagnostics. We made that determination months ago, and we felt very strongly that we wanted to have a partner who could take these animal-health assets and really make something of them. We think we have a great partner in Ceva [Santé Animale]: they're very committed to this, and we have some nice financial upside if they are successful—both in the short term and in the long term.
It's hard to say. If I could predict stock price I'd be a very rich man. There are just a couple of things. One, we recently closed the round at $2 a share. That was the price when we closed the offering. I think we've accomplished a lot in the last couple of years. Much of that work has been fairly quiet—getting a new product ready, going through a pre-FDA study. For us, those are very important milestones. Maybe they didn't get as much visibility with investors as we would have liked.
We've got some very significant milestones ahead. We have a plan to systematically communicate how we're doing in terms of meeting our milestones. As we check off these milestones, I fully believe that investors will gain more confidence in the company [and] gain more confidence in the management team, and ultimately that will result in a higher stock price. That's going to happen over time. We're not focused so much on the short-term price; we're focused on achieving these milestones, and that will lead to return for our shareholders.
Absolutely. And I'll tell you, when you're talking to investors, there's not a lot of skepticism over the need for the product. All along, whether it's investors or clinicians, the need for a blood-based diagnostic in this appendicitis space is acute. The question centers on, "What can you accomplish with the capital that you have, and can you do it in the time frame?" The consensus is that when we get this product to market, we've got a very good plan for executing on the business side.
It was excellent. I was in the room. Dave Huckins, who's an M.D. from Partners Healthcare at Newton-Wellesley Hospital, presented. The room was packed, there were a lot of very good questions, and after the meeting I personally spoke to a number of clinicians who were in the room. They reiterated what I said: "I hope you guys can get this test to market; we really need it." A number of them are actually part of our clinical trial. It's very positive. We're really looking forward to the reaction when we get this product out there.
The main question clinicians have is what the performance looks like in terms of negative predictive value [and] in terms of specificity—that type of thing. Of course, they want to know [whether] your clinical trial is going to have the same results as the last study. It's hard for us to answer that. But the consensus was clearly, "If you guys can reproduce these numbers, I'm going to use your test."
The test would help to rule out appendicitis, so one of the benefits is reduction in treatment costs, and if it works, it reduces CT scans as well as the radiation danger. Those would be issues in addition to the cost savings.
If you look at the data from the 503-patient study, we could have theoretically reduced about 30% of the CTs that were done on those patients. There were a number of patients in that study—primarily at larger hospitals where ultrasound was used. Theoretically, the [ultrasound procedures] could have been eliminated, so that also impacts the economic value of the test.
Yes, we definitely do. As I looked at this, there are analyses that have been done by healthcare analysts employed by the company that show that this test, from an economic standpoint, probably justifies a price upwards of $300 per test. Given my experience in the in vitro diagnostics world, I know that price would [make it] tough to get rapid adoption. If we can bring it to the market for under $100, that would be a very attractive price point, I believe. And if you look at the technology we're using with lateral flow, our cost-of-goods on this is probably going to be in the $10 range out the door. The margins are significant, and we want to price this to where laboratories will adopt it, without appreciably slowing down the process.
One of the nice things about this product is that the capital component is relatively insignificant. We have a device with a retail price point probably in the $3000 to $4000 range, which doesn't really hit the radar in terms of the capital committee. In fact, in many cases we'll probably bundle the instrument along with the actual consumables. We don't believe there are a lot of barriers to entry with this product.
The first thing is that the more market development you can do in terms of understanding the sales process, the better. When we started out selling the GeneOhm assay, we made some mistakes in terms of where we targeted and how we targeted that took us a few months to correct because we had not done enough market development work before the product introduction. We had acquired a company that had the technology, and we immediately commercialized it, so we didn't really have the time to do the market development. The good news here is that with Don [Hurd] on board, we're going to have a very good understanding of what the customer buying process is before we get FDA clearance. Our goal is to have as many hospitals as possible committed to understanding the benefits of our product before we actually have FDA clearance.
Sometimes when you're out there and you're asking for a commitment, you learn things that you really didn't understand before you actually put your feet on the street. I think that was a good learning experience for me. For example, for GeneOhm we learned that in selling a MRSA screening test you really needed a couple of things to happen in a territory before you got significant traction. One was having key opinion leaders on board, so having significant hospitals in a geographic region use the test was helpful. Second, in the case of MRSA, [it was important] to actually have legislators demanding it, because with MRSA it was all about the fact that hospital infections were killing patients, and those [deaths] were preventable. The more PR we had in a region around that, the less of a problem we had getting it adopted.
It's an interesting question. I'm not sure. In terms of my background, the first company I went to work for was Dianon Systems, which ended up being a very successful company that ultimately was sold to LabCorp for about $700 million. A very big part of the recruiting strategy of that company was to hire junior military officers. I think the reason was that you had people who were relatively bright, disciplined, and trainable. They didn't have preexisting ideas about how things should be done. They worked hard and were very team-oriented. That strategy really came out of Abbott Diagnostics, which was very big on hiring junior military officers. They built a very successful diagnostics business, partially due to that.
I believe in building a strong culture, and the culture was really based on a lot of these military guys who were goal-oriented, team-oriented, and willing to focus on the mission as opposed to their individual wants and needs. This approach built a very healthy culture, and I think that kind of thing is transferrable to any company.

Wale absolutely killed it with this one. Having seen these jackets in person, I cannot even begin to describe the gnarliness of these pieces. It's great to see someone like Wale holding it down for the city of Philadelphia.
Also, I've tried on that belted yellow safari jacket, and I haven't wanted to wear anything else for S/S since that moment. One of the most incredible lightweight outerwear pieces with which I've ever come in contact.
Check out the photos and pieces here.
Tung To, owner of ToBox Shoes on 19th St. in Center City Philadelphia:
If you guys haven't been over to ToBox shoes, please do so immediately. It's one of the most impressive shoe boutiques to which I've ever been. The selection of English, French, and Italian leather shoes is amazing.
Also, you'll get to meet Mr. and Mrs. To, the owners and operators. Here you can see Tung sporting an awesome green/blue/brown colored kit, featuring a scarf that his wife made by hand, as she does with all of the pocket squares, bracelets, and lapel flowers sold in the shop.
Like I said, get over to ToBox immediately.

Sabir and I were walking around Center City last weekend, looking for stylish people to shoot, and I spotted this OG menswear kingpin.
The olive herringbone coat he was wearing was incredible, lined with an orange moleskin material both inside and under the collar. Cream trousers are always on point, but the real killers were the matching ostrich leather clutch and tassel loafers he was wearing. Everything down to the glasses and tall collar of his sweater fit perfectly into this kit.
He also said, "Oh, I've been shot by The Sartorialist a few times."
Dude was cool as hell.

Outtakes from A Saturday Afternoon in Philly with the 2014 Cadillac ATS 2.0T

Art directed by yours truly
Sometimes you run a blog and don't get to drive around a brand new Cadillac for a week, and then there are those other times where you do. Luckily enough for me, last week was one of those times where you do. I was loaned a 2014 Cadillac ATS 2.0 Turbo, courtesy of the good folks at Cadillac and the Tierny Agency, so that I could review it, create content with it, and drive the hell out of it. I got together with the crew, and all three things were accomplished with this beautiful machine.
I'll hit you with the technical aspects and review of the car in a second, but first, let me give you a little recap of what came after Fenimore and I drove down to Philly from a brief exploration of NJ flea markets and antique shops:
There are a lot of things to do with a pair of keys to a Cadillac in your hand, but in my opinion, nothing beats a luxurious and lazy Saturday afternoon in Philadelphia for the last day of my brief affair with the ATS. Now before you say or think anything about Philadelphia, let me remind you that it is both the birthplace of the cheese steak and a little place called The United States of America, so if you have anything negative to say, keep those communist thoughts to yourself.
First on the agenda, as is tradition, was brunch (read oysters) at Parc on Rittenhouse Square. I linked up with the homie Sabir Peele, creator and director of the menswear blog and shop Men's Style Pro, and we snagged a seat outside on 18th Street (If you ever find yourself in Philly and are looking for a place to eat, I HEAVILY cosign Parc). Sabir's got some pretty big collaborations in the works, and it was cool to get a feel for what he's going to be rolling out over the next couple months.
Sabir Peele, Blogger, founder and writer of Men's Style Pro
After watching the Rittenhouse wealth walk by, we met up with Philly's own Wale Oyejide, founder and designer of the menswear label Ikiré Jones, an incredible group of uniquely African-inspired, American-made, unstructured blazers and printed pocket squares. Wale was sporting a wax-print jacket from the Ikiré Jones Spring/Summer 2014 line, so we got to see a little preview there and got to hear a bit about the rest of the collection dropping in the coming season. I assure you, the collection will have you reaching for your wallet immediately.
Wale Oyejide, founder and designer of Ikiré Jones
After mandatory back-alley cigars, the customary trip to Old City was made to stop by Briar Vintage, owned and operated by David Lochner. Briar Vintage is one of the most unique vintage shops on the East coast, and David brings an unparalleled knowledge of vintage clothing to the shop's space on 3rd street. His wardrobe is full of timeless pieces, and he maintains a silhouette that will most definitely never go out of style. David and his shop are always sources of inspiration for modern looks in my own personal style
David P. Lochner, owner and operator of Briar Vintage
Before we get deep into the technical review of this car, let me just say that from a design standpoint, this car is a show stopper. Looking into these headlights in the pitch black is like looking into the soul of a wild werewolf/vampire hybrid that somehow resembles Kate Upton on her best day. I think intimidatingly sexy is the phrase that I'm looking for. The lines are clean, purposeful, and swift, an honest portrayal of the car as a whole, and that Cadillac logo, boldly placed on the grill, is the visual form of a Rick Ross grunt.

I remember at age 34 or 35 not having to wear a suit to work for the first time and it threw me for a loop.

Innovative products need innovative advertising, and Apple was never in short supply of that. Does a photo of a personal computer in a domestic setting – like at a kitchen table, sound especially groundbreaking? Not anymore. But when Apple released the Apple II, it was. Imagine a computer so simple and user friendly as to appear next to the oven and Kitchen Aid mixer, a tool that you could integrate into your everyday life. Revolutionary! Apple was the first to bring computers out of the realm of hobbyists and into the public eye at large.
TBWA/Chiat/Day produced Apple's most iconic advertising — the Ridley Scott directed 1984 ad, as well as the "Think Different" campaign. 1984 was so disruptive that the Apple board attempted to have it pulled before it aired at the Super Bowl, but they couldn't sell the spot. Thank God. The ad became a hit in the media and went on to receive massive acclaim from the advertising community. Today, after Mean Joe Green, it is probably the most iconic piece of advertising in existence.
For all that though, the Mac didn't sell well during the holiday season. Then, in 1985, Jobs left Apple amid a power struggle with former Pepsi CEO John Sculley, who he had courted himself to come on board.
"Think Different" was equally a shocker. For one, you'll notice, it's not a grammatically sound statement – it should be "Think Differently." But that was a mouthful and somehow less definite. This campaign was a game changer in the advertising industry itself.
Print ads featured no computers and no copy beyond the tagline. They were printed in black and white, leaving the rainbow Apple logo to pop from a corner.The TV spots were equally elegant, with a narrative that transcended not just computers but consumerism at large. This campaign defined Apple as an outsider brand for artists, thinkers and rebels — forever setting it up in a battle against comparatively stodgy IBM and Microsoft.
In Pictures: Apple's Most Unforgettable Ads
The Think Different campaign began a trend of implicit lifestyle advertising that left behind explicit product mentions. When you watch TV with your mom and an ad comes on and she proclaims "I don't even know what that was for," you can thank "Think Different."
But never did that battle come to a more obvious head than in the Mac vs. PC ads, which featured comedic personality John Hodgman as a PC and actor Justin Long as a Mac in a series of commercials that involved frumpy, nervous Hodgman revealing his various insecurities and inefficiencies to the calm and cool Long. The format was so popular and so iconic that it was parodied everywhere.
Today, this one hits a little too close to home on too many levels:
And the war continued with the introduction of the iPod, which worked on both PCs and Macs. It was a stealth agent sent to investigate the enemy camp and win over converts. It was introduced with a series of bright and poppy commercials featuring dancing and lip-syncing silhouettes and popular tracks from the likes of Jet, Wolfmother and Daft Punk. They were impossibly fun and infectious:
There's a lot more. Make sure to check out our slideshow of Apple's most definitive print ads.

(Requirement D.1.4), and "assess Service policies, and draft policy if necessary, to require routine screening of all beneficiaries as part of 'Put Prevention Into Practice' program, with providers using guidelines from the Agency for Health Care Policy and Research" (Requirement D.1.5). DoD and the armed services have made great strides in meeting those requirements.
DoD conducts periodic surveys to ascertain tobacco use by active-duty military personnel. The most recent one for which data are available, the 2005 DoD Survey of Health Related Behaviors Among Active Duty Military Personnel (DoD, 2006), determined the prevalence of alcohol use, tobacco use, and illicit-drug use on the basis of self-reports by 16,146 military personnel in all four armed services. Achievement of selected Healthy People 2010 objectives and adverse outcomes were also assessed. The TMA conducts the annual congressionally mandated Health Care Survey of Department of Defense Beneficiaries to assess user satisfaction with, and access to, the MHS. The healthy-behaviors section asks participants whether they have ever smoked; if so, how much; if they quit, for how long; whether they were advised by their doctors to quit; and whether their doctors or other health-care providers discussed methods and strategies (other than medication) to assist in smoking cessation. Questions on the use of medications are not included. Composite data from both surveys are publicly available. The DoD Health Plan Analysis and Evaluation staff conduct beneficiary surveys that include information on smoking and advice to quit. DoD also maintains the Medical Data Repository, which contains information on the use of tobacco-related diagnosis and treatment codes within the MHS direct-care system.
Each armed service uses a variety of self-reported metrics to assess its tobacco-cessation programs in support of its health-promotion activities. The Navy and the Air Force use metrics to track tobacco use and cessation by service personnel. The Navy Health Promotion Wellness Tobacco Program metrics are used by staff at 32 military treatment facilities, including 3 medical centers, 15 naval hospitals, and 14 health and medical clinics. Metrics are submitted semiannually and cover the number of tobacco-cessation programs offered, individual and group counseling sessions held, training of facilitators, and costs for tobacco-cessation medications (Navy, 2009). NAVHOSPGLAKES Instruction 6220.7 (July 8, 2005) on tobacco-cessation services for the Great Lakes Naval Hospital includes a tobacco-cessation form to be used when a patient inquires about quitting tobacco use. The form is used to conduct follow-up with patients and to track success rates.
The Air Force, like the Navy, uses the National Committee for Quality Assurance's Healthcare Effectiveness Data and Information Set
