ARC-AAT alone is worth current enterprise value.
Sentiment: Strong Buy
They aren't chasing ARWR, they are chasing a lead plaintiff(the investor who's been damaged the most by the alleged negligent actions of the company) These lawsuits will all be consolidated into one, but the firm who finds the lead plaintiff will be assigned as "lead counsel" and they will stand to get 33% or more of any settlement(90%+ end up in settlement fyi) So I hope you now see why sooo many no-name law firms come out of the woodwork, it doesn't require any money to put out a "news" headline asking people if they've lost money on ARWR stock. I am VERY familiar with class action law.
There's not enough data to be bothered by at the moment. I'm looking for a nice rising curve in dose-response with the 3mg data. The actual number is NOT important, not until we get into multi-dosing anyway. For now, if they can show the drug works better as you increase the dose and has a lingering effect, while maintaining a nice safety profile, that will be enough to make the stock go up. The story will be intact in other words.
The valuation is cheap enough given the monstrous market opportunity. Now there's always the chance that the data can come in much better than expected, so that makes the stock a good risk/reward opp.
The lawsuits are actually the LAST thing that worries me. These class action suits must be consolidated into one lawsuit and then certified by a judge, who weighs the merit and validity of the claims and decides whether or not to let it proceed. After reading both the earnings transcripts, management as well as analyst comments, I highly doubt that this case will get past first base. Most of the time, these lawsuits, even if given the OK by the judge, are settled for peanuts. In this case, I doubt it would be more than $10 or $15M, which ARWR could easily handle with cash on hand. Besides, class action take an average of 4 years from filing to settlement, so this is much to do about nothing at the moment.
The stock will be up $10, may take a day or two but you should count on it
Not sure about eod, but end of this week and end of next week should be consecutively higher.
If the 3mg data meets expectations on Nov.8, I'd expect ARWR to be acquired before the end of the year. The stock is trading at 2X cash fyi

Pokemon Special
back to reviews
Pokemon Special
whole series review by
A fun ride!
I would be lying if I said that Pokemon Special is the greatest shonen manga series ever written. It's a simple, straightforward enough story with common plots and themes, as well as occasional pacing problems due to it having to keep up with the long-running video game franchise it's based off of and having quite possibly the most complicated magazine release ever (and that part isn't an exaggeration). There are plenty of other Pokemon manga out there that have been written and released over the years, with more to come. And of course, there's the anime.
So what does this particular take of the Pokemon games have to offer to anyone?
A world filled to the brim with badassery, characters worth being emotionally attached to, competent bad guys, competent
good guys
, girls who can kick ass just as well as the guys, a unique take on the Mon battling system where humans are allowed, even expected, to fight alongside said Mons, and continuity in which everything/one is important and remembered (whether short-term or long-term, and when I say long-term, I
long-term), all written by one guy who clearly loved playing through every aspect of the games and wanted to show them off as much as he could in his own, um, special way.
This series is
, plain and simple. I can read this and enjoy it so much that I don't feel ashamed for indulging in what is mostly labeled as being part of a children's franchise. I can read the older chapters and bask in my childhood nostalgia. I can read the more recent chapters and see that the franchise still has new and exciting things to offer. I can read through this entire thing, from Gen 1 to the current, feel rewarded for sticking with it the whole time, and know that there is still more to come.
Even if you don't play Pokemon games, you can still possibly enjoy this series, but if you
played the games and loved them, you're in for a real treat.
You freaking NAILED it with this review. I love this manga for all of those reasons, so now I guess I don't have to put in a review myself. Thanks.

Considering that it's a generic shonen plot, that's not very surprising.

OK, so you're saying that "Pokemon Special" has a "generic shonen plot" which is a "weird interpretation" of the games, yet the creator of the games likes it....because of that?
Honestly, I have no idea what the hell you're trying to say here.
comment #9663
ManwiththePlan 2nd Sep 11 (edited by: ManwiththePlan)
"weird interpretation" as in, it's completely different from the games. "Generic shonen plot", because it's basically a generic shonen plot with Pokemon in it.
"Creator of games likes it because of that", I don't know what I was trying to say there either.

eveil 2nd Sep 11 (edited by: eveil)
I think you guys are being immature. Some enjoy it, some don't. But, in the vein of this argument, I'd say the reason of dislike of this manga for having a "generic shonen plot) could be added to ANY shonen manga. Then you've just got a hatred of the whole series. I say, either love it or leave it.

Then you're in denial. The series lives on its references and alternate interpretations of the games.

I've reached the Silver/Gold arc, and even though I only played Red I still enjoy reading about these characters and pokémon that I've got no previous familiarity with. I find it a wekll-made manga. Really, that's it.

Coming Soon: More Bribery Enforcement Cases
Subscriber Content Read Preview
Subscriber Content Read Preview
Countries that have emulated the efforts of the United States and instituted their own anti-bribery and anti-corruption laws have been slow to initiate enforcement actions using these new powers, but that should be changing and should give pause to companies looking to do overseas deals.

What is the real cost of bribery? Russian President Vladimir Putin said he's not very concerned about the latest round of sanctions against his country.
Moscow is trying to shield its economy from U.S. sanctions. Lawyers representing whistleblowers say they are seeing a rise in workplace secrecy agreements.

An eight-month trial involving former News Corp. executives ended Tuesday with a split verdict. Prosecutors seeking to bolster their image by taking on high-profile defendants won't be deterred by the loss, experts said.
Israel Electric Co. officials were arrested for allegedly taking $16 million in bribes from Siemens AG years ago. A Spanish prosecutor recommended that Lionel Messi, the captain of Argentina's national soccer team, be cleared of tax evasion while keeping his father an official suspect.

To stay on the right side of U.S. regulators, companies should disclose bribery and constantly scrutinize their compliance programs, panelists said. In other countries the picture is varied, with some likely to follow the pattern of U.S. enforcement but due process lacking in other countries.
Investigators say $2 billion linked to Babak Zanjani, an Iranian businessman, was never blocked by foreign banks despite U.S. sanctions and his own claims that he was unable to transfer funds. Iowa and North Carolina joined other states looking into a breach involving a subsidiary of Experian PLC that exposed 200 million social security numbers.

The news about the Bribery Act charges is buried under a "notes for editors" section of the SFO statement.

Half or more of the people surveyed said the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and the U.K. Bribery Act have had a "major impact" on their company's anti-corruption policies, according to the survey of 311 compliance professionals released Tuesday.
The Minnesota based firm said it began an internal investigation after Polish prosecutors charged two employees of its branch there in December with violations of tender and corruption laws related to a project near the city of Łódź.

When I was a freshman in high school, there was a guy that I had a crush on. My friends always told me he was staring at my butt, but that always made me uncomfortable. The first time he grabbed my butt was in PE and he told me that his friends pushed him into me. I convinced myself this was only a mistake. The second time I could hear him loudly talking about how my butt looked so nice and then he grabbed me again. I never did say anything to him about it, and I never told anyone what happened.
I was walking home from a friends house alone on a Friday night at 1:40 am and I had to pass by two obviously intoxicated guys and one of the tells me I'm going to get raped and I shake my head and keep walking. He says it again so I say that's not something you joke about and he says it's just a joke and I say rape isn't funny and then he says dude it was just a joke. I kept walking the whole time. He also kept saying something along the lines if come back to hear the joke.
I was waiting my turn at a gas station, and was about to pull up to the pump, when an older (late fifties, sixties) man in a truck pulled up in front of me and blocked my way. He and his friend started acting like something was funny, pointing at me, waving in a mocking sort of way. I signaled them to please move, but they kept on acting like the whole thing was a joke. I held eye contact with the man and kept my finger pointing in the direction he needed to go. He finally pulled away, and as he did so he rolled down his window and yelled "Nice smile, bitch!".
I managed to hold my calm as I pumped gas, but I started bawling once I was on my way home.
So, I was waiting for my daughters' bus, and a guy in a red SUV honked at me, slowed down, and looked like it was going to pick me up. I flipped him off, and turned around. Because I holla back.

Last night I did a little bit of grocery shopping. I'm a chubby middle aged lady now, so I'm not as often the target of harassment as I used to be. When I was checking out, there was a young male employee bagging groceries and an attractive young woman cashiering. As I was putting my groceries on the conveyor belt, I couldn't help but overhear the bagger repeatedly exhorting the cashier that she should, "Smile more," because she's "So much prettier when she smiles." Because, of course, the whole purpose of this young woman being employed by the grocery store is for his personal benefit. Well, that annoyed me a little bit, but it didn't seem like an appropriate thing for me to interject myself into, so I kept quiet.
But then, the bagger felt the need to comment on some of my groceries in a suggestive way! When he said, "So juicy and delicious" when he was bagging my grapefruit, I initially thought it was an innocent comment because the grapefruit did in fact look particularly juicy and delicious. But then I saw that he was leering at the cashier when he said it. Then he got to my turbinado sugar – the store had only the brand called, "Sugar in the Raw." So Mr. Poobrain BaggerBoy saw fit to say, "Sugar in the Raaaaaaaw," in the most suggestive way possible. That was it for me. I pulled myself to my full 5'3″, squared my shoulders, set my jaw, and said something to the effect of, "Hey. You are being a jerk, and the fact that you think your comments are acceptable does not make you less of a jerk. This young lady has not been placed here by divine providence for your amusement, and I am not purchasing these groceries for the benefit of your comments. You had better wise up right here and right now. Now, I will finish bagging my own groceries. Go and reflect on your behavior!"
Ha! He did NOT expect to be called out, let alone scolded and basically given a time out by a customer! Well, I don't think I changed his behavior permanently – but maybe I had some tiny impact on his future behavior.

I was 15 at the time, and going for a run. A man of around 40 was stopped at a street corner at a red light. He saw me, leaned out his window, made eye contact with me, and gave a long whistle. I made my run about a half mile longer to avoid going the same way as that car.

So I didn't want to share this story at first because I felt like I would be overreacting by calling this street harassment, but yeah…
In september my first year at university started and during the week I live in an apartment in the city so I can just go to class by foot. Now, there's a restaurant in the same street and I have to walk past it to get to my class or to get to the park with my dog. When the weather is nice and the place hasn't opened yet or they're taking a break or whatever, the guys who own the place sits outside.
As the friendly person I am, eager to befriend my neighbors, I smile at them every time I pass. There's one of them who sits outside more often than the others and one time he responded to my smile with a 'ciao bella' to which I didn't really react as I was just about to cross the street. One evening, as I had to walk my dog, the guy that sits outside the most often was there again, so I gave him a very quick smile (the 'ciao bella' incident had made me a little uneasy) and was planning to walk past quickly but he started talking to me. At first, the conversation went… all right, I guess.
He asked me if I lived in the apartment a little further down the street as he apparently had seen me inside (yes, inside, as in I-saw-you-through-the-window-inside), if I was a student and what I was studying (English – Spanish) so we started talking about languages and he kind of started to switch languages as he spoke, from Dutch to Italian to Spanish to Dutch to French to Dutch to French and so on. Now, In this region in Belgium, you're supposed to be able to speak Dutch fluently and well, you should understand French as well. As the conversation went on, he told me I was pretty in French a couple of times and how it always lightens up his day when he sees me, which made me feel even less comfortable but I felt forced to thank him for his compliments. He also asked, jokingly I hope but I'm far from sure, if he could go with me to my place for a cup of coffee. (I responded truthfully that my brother was staying over, which was "such a shame" according to him) He also said something in French which I didn't quite understand, but I thought it was just another "you're pretty" so I – shudder – thanked him again.
When I got home, I looked it up, because the way he had looked at me when he had said it, had been a bit… predatory? So yeah, I forgot what it was exactly, but I still remember what the website had said: "don't ever say this to a woman in France as she will (rightfully) slap you and call the police" A couple of days later, I got the courage to tell my brother about it all (though it was a softened version, because I didn't want him to tell my parents) and he told me about another route to get to the park. So from then on, I have to go through some dark streets and a parking lot a couple of times a day. I haven't really seen him anymore (he once waved at me from inside the restaurant, but that's about it I think) but I don't know what to do or think about the whole case. Honestly, I think he is in fact a rather sweet guy and that he really just doesn't see any wrong in his 'compliments' however sexual and out of bounds they may be. I'm way too scared to teach him about standard etiquette and street harassment though.

I was walking to my car when a large pick-up truck starts following me and the driver yells out his window, " I will lick your butthole if you suck my balls!" I couldn't see his face through his car window so I there is no other way to describe him other than the fact that he was driving a huge green pick-up truck.

This happened to me back in high school. It was mid-afternoon. I was 14 and walking home from school. A car drove by and nearly came to a stop, slowly creeping alongside me, the man driving staring at me. I didn't speed up or respond in anyway. I felt uncomfortable but there was no way to escape the situation. I was one street over from my own.
My boyfriend and I went to miami 10/26/2013. While we were in south beach two guys (thugged out) were walking behind us. As we came to the corner to cross the road two girls were about to walk around the corner and go down they way we had just come from. These two guys physically stopped the girls and would not let them pass.

Kellie Maloney: 'My 60-year secret'
Retired boxing promoter Kellie Maloney, formerly Frank, talks about her dreams, diaries and secret dress-ups, and why it took her 60 years to come out.
Las Vegas, November 1999. Lennox Lewis has just beaten Evander Holyfield to become Britain's first undisputed heavyweight champion of the world in more than 100 years.
After the ringside celebrations among 6,000 delirious British fans, Lewis' promoter Frank Maloney retires to his hotel room, where the darkness engulfs him.
He should be feeling on top of the world. He's just masterminded the greatest success story of British boxing in a century. It should be the crowning glory of his career.
But Frank has a secret. A secret so huge he has never been able to whisper a word of it to anyone for fear of losing everything.
It will be another 15 years before Frank reveals his lifelong secret to the world: that he is a woman trapped in a man's body.
By the time of the announcement in August 2014, Frank had been living as Kellie for a year and was preparing to have gender reassignment surgery.
One of the main reasons Kellie didn't come out earlier is because of her father, Tom, a former railway worker, who had been so proud of all his son had achieved after leaving school aged 15.
"I had his respect," she says. "He put me on a pedestal. I could never hurt him." Looking back, Kellie now believes her father's death from cancer aged 87 may have been a tipping point.
'Living with the burden any longer would have killed me'
Kellie Maloney
"I couldn't tell him, even on his death bed," she says. But his passing in 2009 meant Kellie no longer had to live up to her father's expectations. "I couldn't disappoint him anymore," she says.
Kellie had planned to complete her transformation in private, but was forced into going public after a national newspaper threatened to out her.
Buoyed by the public's positive reaction, Kellie has embraced her new-found status as Britain's most famous trans person to help raise awareness about transgender issues.
She followed a string of newspaper and TV interviews with a three-week appearance on Channel 5's Celebrity Big Brother.
At 61, and after nearly 60 years of corrosive silence, she says: "Living with the burden any longer would have killed me. I always knew … from the age of three or four. I didn't know what it was, but I didn't associate with what I saw in the mirror."
But growing up in 1950s Peckham, south London, with working class Irish Catholic parents, being different was not an option.
"I just wanted to be a normal boy," she says. "In those days, you'd get called names just for having a speech impediment or having ginger hair."
So Kellie tried "extra hard to be accepted as one of the boys", dating pretty girls and getting into sports such as athletics, football and boxing.
But as hard as she tried to be a Jack the lad and fit in, deep down she still wanted to be a girl, to dress and act like them.
"I have a female brain," she says. "I knew I was different from the minute I could compare myself to other children. I wasn't in the right body. I was jealous of girls.
"If I saw a girl and she looked really nice, I'd wonder how I would look if I was wearing that. Then I'd try to distract myself and stop thinking about it."
The only place Kellie could be herself was in her dreams. "In every dream I've ever had I'm a girl," she says. "At first I used to think I was dreaming of someone else."
The childhood dreams never went away, and became more and more vivid as Kellie got older. "I was living as the real me in my dreams," she says.
She has always kept a diary, even at the height of her power and influence in the boxing world, where the suppressed Kellie could come out for some air.
"Everything you need to know about Kellie is on those pages," she says. "The diary helped me get things off my chest. It was like therapy."
With nobody to share her secret with, Kellie found strength from reading about other people's experiences in transgender publications and websites.
She remembers reading the stories of Christine Jorgensen and April Ashley, who were among the first transsexuals to have gender reassignment surgery in the 1950s. "It just didn't seem a realistic possibility to me," she says.
To satisfy her desire to be Kellie, if only for a while, she attended private dressing up sessions in shops off high streets and down back roads in Dublin and Manchester.
"You could get a makeover for about £300 and stay there for three to four hours," she says. "For a few hours I was able to be the real me."
Then it was back to the macho world of boxing, where Kellie had built a reputation as a hard-nosed Cockney geezer famous for wearing Union Flag suits in the ring.
"Boxing was a great way to distract myself from my thoughts," she says. "I was totally absorbed. I buried myself in my work, 24/7."
On fight nights, Kellie would sometimes leave her team in the locker room and enter the thronging arena to allow herself one little indulgence.
"I would try to imagine what it would be like to be one of those glamorous women in the audience," she says. "But I'd head back to the locker room and focus on the boxing."
Away from the boxing ring, Kellie tried to conform to what society expected. She says she genuinely found love, married twice, and has three daughters.
'I'm a woman, and my transition won't be complete until my body matches my mind'
Kellie Maloney
"I thought being in love and marrying would beat what was going on inside of my head, but the inner fight in me made it harder to keep going as the years went by," she says.
Kellie's secret was slowly tearing her apart. Struggling with depression, she began drinking heavily and tried to shut herself away from the world and her family.
"My life was spiralling out of control," she says. "I was very unhappy. My temper was getting worse."
She turned to counselling and says the help she received over the phone and in face-to-face sessions over the last 12 years "has helped me enormously to come to terms with myself".
She recalls having an angry exchange with one counsellor. "All I wanted was for him to tell me that I wasn't transgender, but he said I needed to accept myself if I want to live a normal life."
Kellie is still in touch with some of the organisations that helped her, including transgender support group TG Pals, and is keen to support their work.
Her father's death, the suicide of boxer Darren Sutherland, and her own health – she had a heart attack watching a boxing match – all weighed heavily on her decision to reveal all to her wife in 2009.
"Tracey was the first person I had told outside counsellors," she says. "She swore she would never tell anyone. She would've taken my secret to the grave to protect our girls."
The couple tried in vain to rekindle their relationship. Following the breakdown of their marriage, Kellie tried to take her own life on Christmas Day in 2012 – her second attempt in recent years.
"It got to a point where I just couldn't cope any longer," she says. "I couldn't go on, and I had to start living the life of the person I should've been born as."
She revealed all to the rest of her family before the story went public. After the shock and tears, they have mostly come out in support of her, although her daughters are unlikely to stop calling her "Dad".
"I can't say enough about my 81-year-old mother," she says. "She told me that she had always known I was different from my brothers and that at last she could see why.
"I think it stems from her that the family has accepted it, because she made the point of telling them. Their support has given me the confidence to go out in the world and be myself."
Over the past two years, Kellie has received hormone therapy, hair removal electrolysis, voice coaching and specialist counselling.
The final phase of her transformation will involve "the realignment of my male genitalia to become female genitalia", as well as having breast implants and facial surgery – all done privately.
She says her transition was about gender identity and not about sexual orientation.
Why the name Kellie? "It's always been Kellie," she says. "It's short and sweet. I'm dyslexic and Kellie is easy to pronounce and spell."
"Until I have the operation I feel like half a person," she says. "I'm a woman and my transition won't be complete until my body matches my mind," she says.
"I don't want to be labelled," she says. "I'm not a transsexual woman. I'm a human being. All that is being done is to correct a mistake at birth."
And where's Frank? "Frank is still a part of me, but the roles have been reversed," she says. "Kellie used to be a small part of Frank, but now Frank is a small part of Kellie."
Cannabis is the most widely used illegal drug in the UK, although its use in recent years has fallen.
The proportion of 11-15 year olds in England who had used cannabis in the last year fell from 13.3% in 2003 to 7% in 2013. The proportion of 16-59 year olds using cannabis in the last year has fallen from 10.6% in 2003-04 to 6.6% in 2013-14.
The effects of cannabis vary from person to person:
Cannabis can have other effects too:
If you use cannabis regularly it can make you demotivated and uninterested in other things going on in your life, such as education or work. Long-term use can affect your ability to learn and to concentrate.
In the past cannabis wasn't thought to be addictive. However, research has shown that it can be addictive, particularly if you have been using it regularly for quite a while. About 10% of regular cannabis users are thought to become dependent.
As with other addictive drugs such as cocaine and heroin, you can develop a tolerance to it. This means you have to have more and more to get the same effects. If you stop taking it, you can experience withdrawal symptoms, such as cravings, difficulty sleeping, mood swings, irritability and restlessness.
If you regularly smoke cannabis with tobacco, you're likely to get addicted to nicotine and may develop tobacco-related illnesses. If you cut down or give up, you will experience withdrawal from nicotine as well as cannabis.
Smoking cannabis with tobacco can raise your risk of tobacco-related illnesses, including:
See tips to stopping smoking.
Recent research has helped us better understand the health risks from using cannabis. We know that:
The risks linked to using cannabis do seem to be higher for people who use it regularly from an early age, including the risk of developing a mental illness.
It's not clear why the risks are higher for people who start using cannabis when young. It may be linked to the fact that, during the teenage years, the brain is still forming its connections and cannabis interferes with this process.
Herbal cannabis contains many different compounds, called cannabinoids, which have different effects. One of these cannabinoids – tetrahydrocannabinol, or THC for short – is the active ingredient of a prescribed drug called Sativex. Currently this is only licensed in the UK as a treatment to relieve the pain of muscle spasms in multiple sclerosis.
Further research is under way to test the effectiveness of cannabis-based drugs for a range of other conditions including the eye disease glaucoma, appetite loss in people with HIV or AIDS, epilepsy in children and pain associated with cancer. We won't know whether or not these treatments are effective until trials have concluded.
See more on clinical trials involving cannabis.
While most people who use harder drugs like heroin have used cannabis, only a small proportion of people who use cannabis go on to use hard drugs. However, buying cannabis brings you into contact with the illegal drugs trade, making it more likely that you will be exposed to other drugs.
You'll find more information about cannabis in the Frank website's A-Z of drugs.
If you need support with giving up cannabis, you'll find sources of help in Drugs: where to get help.
'Running helps manage my high blood pressure'
Andrew Watson took up running after a routine medical check-up revealed he had high blood pressure.
Overweight and with a family history of hypertension, the 49-year-old knew he needed to be more active.
With a mainly deskbound job and a busy family life, the father-of-three from Devon was leading a largely sedentary lifestyle.
However, the unexpected blood pressure readings were a wake-up call for Andrew and prompted him to take up running.
Since graduating from Couch to 5K and progressing on to parkrun (free, weekly 5km timed runs) he has lost two stone and says running has given him a "new lease of life".
With his father being a seasoned parkrunner and his three teenage sons getting a taste for the timed 5km runs, Andrew says running is turning into a family affair.
I have a history of raised blood pressure, which is being managed by my GP surgery. I went for a routine check-up just before Easter [2014] and my reading was up again. I was advised to lose a bit of weight, which was a wake-up call. I'd started cycling and watching my portion sizes, but felt I needed to do more.
I wasn't a complete couch potato and I'd recently started cycling to work, but my job is mainly desk-based and I found it hard to incorporate exercise into my lifestyle. I knew I needed to increase my physical activity, but I never seemed to get round to it.
I feel fitter now than I have done for years, and regular exercise is now part of my lifestyle. The exercise and better diet also help me manage my blood pressure. I've lost over two stone since I started Couch to 5K in April. I also feel better in myself, less stressed and in a better mood. I think it's down to the sense of achievement I get from running.
I'm the sort of person who needs a bit of structure, so I found the podcasts and the commentary and encouragement really helpful. Knowing I had to fit three runs in each week really helped me get into a routine.
I first heard about parkrun's timed 5km runs from my dad, who is a keen runner and a proud wearer of his 50 parkruns t-shirt! A parkrun was recently set up in Parke Estate, near Bovey Tracey, about a mile or so from my home.
I didn't feel confident tackling a 5km run from scratch, as I had tried running in the past and never enjoyed it. I tended to go too fast too soon, and ended up feeling defeated. Parkrun gave me a goal to aim for while doing Couch to 5K. Once I reached Week 7 of the programme, and was running continuously for 20 minutes, I felt ready to give parkrun a go.
I've now completed 15 parkruns since starting in June, and I try to go as much as possible. According to other runners, Parke is quite a hard course compared to other parkruns, with plenty of ups and downs.
Lots of things! Anyone can give it a go, no matter what level of fitness they are. It's free and convenient for me, being close to home, and as it starts at 9am you still have the rest of the day to do other things. I have a busy job and family life too, so fitting in exercise has been a challenge in the past.
Yes. With my first parkrun, I was hoping just to get round, but secretly hoping it would be in less than 40 minutes. I was thrilled to achieve 34:25 for my first attempt. The following week I shaved about two-and-a-half minutes off that, and my personal best (PB) now stands at 28:50.
My son has run with me a couple of times, but he usually finds friends from school on the start line to run with. I tend to run on my own, but will see quite a few familiar faces, including work mates and neighbours, along the course. My other two sons are showing an interest in parkrun, so it's turning into a family affair.
Yes, parkrun is quite sociable and friendly. The course volunteers give you encouragement on the way round, and a few people head up to the cafe afterwards for a coffee and a chat. I've started volunteering on some days, which is another way of getting involved in the whole social aspect.
Couch to 5K got me into the habit of running three times a week, so doing a parkrun on Saturdays and a couple of mid-week runs help to me maintain that routine. The fact that parkrun is a timed run is also great motivation. It drives you to improve your times. Since achieving my initial goal of getting a PB under 30 minutes, I am now considering joining a local running club, and might enter a 10k event in 2015.
Help if you're feeling under the weather
Minor illnesses like sore throats , coughs and colds are more common during the winter months.
A minor health problem can sometimes get worse quickly if you're over 60. If you or someone you care for is feeling under the weather it's best to get early advice from your pharmacist.
It's best to get advice on your illness as soon as you can, because, being older, if a winter ailment becomes serious you're more likely to need treatment in hospital.
It's not always easy to ask for help. You may feel that you're wasting your pharmacist's time if you go to see them with a minor illness, like a cold or a sore throat. But it's minor health problems like these that your pharmacist is there to help with.
Getting help early means you're likely to recover more quickly and be able to get your life back to normal.
Pharmacists are a highly trained and trusted source of health advice for minor health problems. Your local pharmacist can:

Sweet potato pie
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sweet potato pie is a type of pie. It is common in the southern United States. It is similar to pumpkin pie. It is common at Thanksgiving. It is a side dish or dessert.
"the most delicate root that may be eaten," as the sixteenth-century English mariner and slave trader John Hawkins called it, suited European taste. Henry VIII ate his sweet potatoes in heavily spiced and sugared pies, a fashion that survived at least until the 1680s."[1]
It is normally made as a large tart. It doesn't have a top crust. The filling has mashed sweet potatoes, milk, sugar, eggs, and flavoring. The filling can be made light or dense. Occasionally marshmallows are added as a topping.

Kvapil has full ride for 2010 Sprint Cup series season
By Doug Halberstadt
Sports Columnist
NASCAR fans are eagerly awaiting the start of the 2010 racing season. The Daytona 500 is just a little more than two weeks away. That green flag can't come soon enough for most area race fans. One person with ties to the local racing scene has a particularly vested interest in the upcoming season.
Travis Kvapil, a Janesville, Wis., native and the 1994 American Short Tracker champion at the Rockford Speedway, will once again be behind the wheel of a Sprint Cup car. This year, he will be driving for Front Row Motorsports. They are the newest members of Ford Racing for the 2010 Sprint Cup Series season. Kvapil's team will receive engines from Roush/Yates Racing Engines and technical support from Ford Racing.
Last year, Kvapil was forced to shut down his team following the Food City 500 because of a lack of sponsorship. This season, Kvapil won't have to worry about sponsorship. Long John Silver's will sponsor his No. 34 for the entire 2010 season.
Front Row Motorsports team owner Bob Jenkins said: "Travis is a champion and a veteran of this series. We expect him to take us to the next level."
Kvapil was the 2003 Truck Series Champion. He made his first Sprint Cup start near the end of the 2004 season. He has six top 10 finishes in his Sprint Cup Series career. He, his wife and their three children make their home in Mooresville, N.C.
Doug Halberstadt can be reached via e-mail at firstname.lastname@example.com.

WWE wrestlers, American Idol contestants, and chiropractors have all turned to Hands On Massage and Holistic Therapy's onsite licensed massage therapists for relief. The team has attracted these notable clients by mastering different techniques for different needs: Swedish massages induce a deep sense of relaxation, and neuromuscular massages locate pain's trigger point and stun it into submission before it causes clients to inadvertently name their firstborn children "Ouch." Each of the center's many modalities is designed to target specific afflictions, and therapists further customize each treatment by focusing on each client's greatest areas of strain.

The experienced stylists and aestheticians of From Head To Toe Salon and Spa showcase patrons' natural beauty through a variety of hair, nail, waxing, and facial treatments. Every session begins with a complimentary cup of joe, which awakens senses before specialists subdue them once again from the salon's lineup of plush treatment chairs or secluded massage tables. Warm mahogany and ginger tones surround the smoothing, styling, and tension-eliminating services, encouraging patrons to let go of stresses like a therapy session inside an arcade claw machine.
Though they're not on the beaches of Florida, Palm Beach Massage's staff aims to inspire the same sort of relaxation in their clients. They do so with a full slate of massage styles that range from hot-stone therapy, to deep-tissue massage, to geriatric massage, which can help restore mobility to stiff joints. Under the supervision of Chiropractor Tariq Arif of the Back and Pain Rehab Center, therapists also perform chiropractic massage to soothe chronic pain or pain caused by injuries.

The staff's expertise also extends to nailcare and body treatments, including eyelash extensions, waxing, and detoxifying wraps.
