Anacor Falls On Positive But Disappointing Toenail Fungus Data
PALO ALTO, Calif. ( TheStreet) -- Anacor Pharmaceuticals' (ANAC) toenail fungus therapy tavaborole achieved the "complete cure" goal of a phase III study but the drug's efficacy appears to be inferior to a competing drug from Valeant Pharmaceuticals (VRX) and only on par with a currently approved treatment.
Shares of Anacor are down 25% to $3.84 in early Tuesday trading on the positive (but still disappointing) tavaborole study results.
In the phase III study of 600 patients with toenail fungus (onychomycosis), 6.5% of patients treated with tavaborole achieved a complete cure compared to 0.5% of patients treated with an alcohol-based delivery vehicle (essentially the placebo.) The 6% control-adjusted difference in cure rate favoring tavaborole was statistically significant and met the primary endpoint of the study.
Complete cure was defined as the percentage of patients in each arm who were fungus free (mycologic cure) plus had completely clear nails after 52 weeks of treatment.While Anacor's phase III study was successful, tavaborole appears to be less or equally effective as competing and current treatments for toenail fungus. In two phase III studies recently published, Valeant's efinaconazole demonstrated complete cure rates of 17.8% and 15.2% compared to placebo rates of 3.3% and 5.5%. Valeant used the same definition of complete cure as Anacor is using for its phase III studies. The FDA is currently reviewing efinaconazole, with an approval decision date of May 24. The other relevant comp is Penlac, currently the only approved topical treatment for toenail fungus. Penlac's complete cure rate is in the 5-8% range, according to the drug's FDA-approved label. That's similar to the tavaborole cure rates reported today by Anacor. Anacor is conducting a second phase III study of tavaborole. Results are expected in March. -- Reported by Adam Feuerstein in Boston. Follow @AdamFeuerstein

Catie - Cardiovascular Perfusion Student Ambassador
Hi! My name is Catie and my hometown is Fairhope, Alabama. I attended Auburn University where I majored in Business Administration and Marketing. I grew up on the waters of the Gulf Coast, and have a deep passion for sailing and all things aquatic. I love being active and typically never turn down an opportunity to try something new or to be outside. Since moving to Charleston three years ago, I have a newfound love of food and cooking. Yoga keeps me grounded, sailing keeps me relaxed, and my three year old lab, Brewin, keeps me on my toes. I love everything about Charleston and am excited to be a part of the MUSC family!
At MUSC you're not just another number among a sea of students. The professors, faculty, and other classmates take a genuine interest in you and your education. The support that you get on and off campus is unparalleled, and the experience that you gain is irreplaceable. I always wanted to go to school in Charleston, so choosing MUSC was an easy decision. Through the process of taking prerequisites I found that I loved the heart and cardiovascular system, and was amazed at how the body can physiologically maintain itself. I truly fell into the right program and institution at the right time, and have enjoyed every moment of it.
And P.S. Charleston is a very special where you truly have it all. Beaches are 15 minutes from campus, award-winning restaurants are around practically every corner, the history runs deep, the music scene is growing, and the possibilities for fun are endless.

Good idea, bad execution: Air ionizing light bulbs
Our latest tale of convergence finds our two unlikely heroes, the air ionizer and the CFL lightbulb being forced to work together and achieve the ultimate bright and clean air household. The Viatek Ionic is a 15-watt light bulb that comes with another handy feature, and it's an air ionizer.
Air iodizes work by emitting powerful ions that attach to the pollutants in the air and forcing the bad smelling pollutants to drop to the ground and eventually be vacuumed up.
Each light bulb sells for $15, and unfortunately, according to our own Charlie White, doesn't work so well. Then again, White's house could just be too clean or too dirty for a tiny air ionizer to have any effect.

Correction: Change it from an air iodizing to ionizing. Nobody wants to be sprayed with iodine from lightbulbs.

Spring win
Ortiz, Napoli home runs pace Red Sox
Jon Lester made his first start of the spring, throwing three innings of one-hit ball, walking one and striking out four.
Will Middlebrooks added two RBIs for the Red Sox. Shane Victorino, making his spring debut in right field, was hit by a pitch and scored a run in three innings.
Rays third baseman Evan Longoria homered in the fourth off lefty Chris Capuano, who went three innings and allowed one run for Boston.

The 2014 Winter Olympics are upon us at last, and over the next few weeks we'll be inundated with inspiring and heart warming stories about athletes who have overcome incredible odds just to make it to Sochi. But it'll be tough to top the story of Luke Steyn, who is about to become the first winter olympian from a country that almost never sees snow.
20-year old Luke comes from Zimbabwe, which is located in southern Africa, a region of the world that is known to be quite warm. But the young man will compete in the downhill skiing events of slalom and giant slalom, which is quite extraordinary considering it hasn't snowed in his home country in more than 50 years. It seems Luke took up skiing as a boy while his family would travel to Europe on holiday. As he got older, he even traveled to the U.S. to attend the University of Colorado, where he got the chance to hone those skills further.
Of course, just knowing how to ski doesn't qualify you to compete at the Olympics. In order to earn a place at the games, Steyn first had to earn enough points to be allowed to ski. That required Zimbabwe to form a snow sports group to get official representation with the Olympic Committee, while he attempted to collect enough points on the European skiing circuit. Luke says he drove 1800 miles in 20 days, criss-crossing France, Italy and Switzerland in a bid to collect those points by the January 19 cut-off date. Ultimately his efforts proved successful and he will be at the opening ceremonies tonight representing his home country.
According to meteorological records, snow has been recorded in Zimbabwe exactly one time. An unusual storm brought a light dusting to the African nation back in 1960, which makes Luke's unlikely story even more amazing. It would seem that snow flakes in Zimbabwe are about as rare as winter olympians.
When the opening ceremonies get underway tonight, Steyn will walk alone into the stadium, carrying his nation's flag with him. But he won't be the only African athlete who will be competing in Russia. Both Morocco and Togo are also sending competitors to the Sochi games. Those athletes will carry the pride of their nations along with them as well. According to Sports Illustrated, the Cayman Island, Virgin Islands and the tropical nation of Tonga will also have winter athletes at the games, which is just as unusual as Steyn's participation.
Let the games begin!

Following up on my earlier post entitled "Green AV through Control System Programming", I promised to share programming-centric Green AV solutions. A great example of how control system programming and Green AV intersect is through energy management solutions.
Energy management is a hot topic these days with the recent adoption of the ANSI/InfoComm Audiovisual Systems Energy Management standard. Energy management involves a combination of design, programming, settings, and measurement. The process resembles the age-old scientific method of developing a hypothesis, defining an experiment, evaluating the results, and refining the hypothesis until it proven.
Energy management starts with establishing a baseline of energy usage, making a commitment to energy savings, and establishing a goal. From there, the process involves the following steps.
- Make system adjustments
- Measure results
- Review the outcome as compared to the goal
- Repeat the process by refining system adjustments
Control system programming is a key component in this process not only providing the control of the devices that are to be powered off and on and measuring the results, but most importantly providing the ability for user adjustment.
Automatic system shutdown is a great example energy management that can be designed or approached in various ways and refined with user adjustment. Options for accomplishing automatic system shutdown can include one or more of the following criteria:
- Time of day
- Daily or weekly schedule
- Inactivity
- Room vacancy
User adjustment of individual parameters provides the ability to identify the impact of settings in achieving established energy management goals. Variable shutdown times, adjustable inactivity timeout before shutdown, sensitivity of occupancy sensors, or a combination criteria such different settings during business hours vs. outside of business hours are such examples.
For more information on energy management and Green AV through solutions through control system programming, please see my Green AV checklist or join my at educational session Control System Solutions for Energy Management at GovComm12 in Washington, DC on Wednesday November 28.

NEW YORK—On the request of the Philippines, the United Nations agreed to take a second look into the case of a Philippine Army colonel who died of malaria while serving as a military observer in Sudan two years ago.
The Philippine Mission to the United Nations said the UN agreed to reopen its investigation into the death of Lt. Col. Renerio Batalla on the request of Defense Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr. who met with Undersecretary General for Peacekeeping Alain Le Roy in New York last week.
"I would like to raise a matter of sensitivity and would appreciate if the United Nations could take a second look into the case of Lieutenant Colonel Batalla," Secretary Teodoro told Undersecretary General Le Roy during their 11 September meeting at the UN Headquarters.
Batalla was serving as a military observer with the United Nations Mission in Sudan (UNMIS) when he succumbed to cerebral malaria in the southern district of Rembek on 24 October 2007. A UN investigation released seven months later recommended a reprimand for a UN doctor for his failure to extend prompt and proper medical attention to the ailing Filipino officer.
"A review will go a long way in assuaging whatever doubts or apprehensions that have come about as a result of the tragic death of one of our own," the defense chief told the UN peacekeeping official.
Undersecretary General Le Roy immediately acceded to Secretary Teodoro's request as he noted the importance the Philippine Government had placed on the case. He also acknowledged the right of the Philippines, as a troop contributing country, to request for such a review.
Secretary Teodoro conveyed the Philippine request to reopen the case six months after Makati Rep. Teodoro Locsin Jr., a member of the House Committee on National Defense, raised Philippine concerns over the Batalla case in his meeting with Undersecretary General Le Roy.
Secretary Teodoro's request came a few weeks after the Philippine Mission was formally informed by the UN that it could not act on Manila's demand to remove the doctor and bar him from serving in other peacekeeping missions, saying there was no evidence of gross negligence on his part and that there was no basis for disciplinary action based on existing UN rules and regulations.
In making his request, Secretary Teodoro said reopening the investigation conducted by a UN Board of Inquiry on Batalla's death could unearth evidence or information that may have been overlooked when the recommendations to reprimand the doctor were made.
Secretary Teodoro also suggested the possibility of formulating mechanisms to ensure that cases are resolved to the mutual satisfaction of all parties concerned, especially the families of deceased peacekeepers.
Ambassador Hilario G. Davide, Jr., Philippine Permanent Representative to the United Nations, welcomed the development, saying this is a positive step that would hopefully allow the Philippine Government and the family of the late officer finally find closure.
"We believe this review will validate the Philippine position that there were serious lapses in how Colonel Batalla's case was handled," Ambassador Davide said. "We hope that important lessons will be learned from this tragedy so that none of us would have to go through it again."
Ambassador Davide said the Philippines has been consistent in inviting the attention of the United Nations to the Batalla case, especially in its interventions in the General Assembly and in the Special Committee on Peacekeeping Operations since 2007.
Early this year, the Non-Aligned Movement (NAM) endorsed a Philippine proposal to underscore the responsibility of the United Nations to ensure that medical personnel assigned in mission areas are qualified to provide immediate and proper medical attention to peacekeepers and to hold them accountable if they fail to do so.
The Philippine proposal, which also expressed grave concern over the loss of precious human lives as a result of the negligence and incompetence of medical staff in the field, was later incorporated into the report of the Special Committee on Peacekeeping Operations during its 2009 Substantive Session.
At the time of his death, Batalla, a graduate of the Philippine Military Academy, was one of 11 Filipino military officers serving in Sudan. He died while being transported by helicopter to a UN hospital two weeks before he was to end his one-year tour of duty as a military observer with UNMIS.
The Philippines has maintained a presence in Sudan since 2005 when it was invited by the United Nations to contribute military and police personnel to help supervise a peace agreement between the Khartoum government and the Sudan People's Liberation Movement.
In addition to military observers, the Philippines also has 40 police officers serving in UNMIS—one of two UN peacekeeping operations in that country. The Philippines also has 89 police officers serving with the United Nations-African Union Hybrid Mission in Darfur (UNAMID). ###

Football fans will remember coldest games
It seems that wherever I go, a bunch of guys corner me with oodles of questions. For instance: What were the coldest football games I have suffered through?
That's an easy one – and it involves one of Kentucky's most famous citizens, Albert Benjamin "Happy" Chandler, a two-time governor, a U.S. Senator and baseball commissioner who opened the door to Major League baseball to Jackie Robinson.
I was about 9 or 10 years old when Dr. B.S. Broaddus took his son, Charlie, and me to Versailles to see Irvine play the Yellollowjackets in football. Another Broaddus son was Irvine High's quarterback, Edward John "E-Jack" Broaddus.
This was late in the season, and the weather was so cold that both teams had trouble holding onto the ball. The wind and snow were terrible and most of the fans had sense enough to go home.
But when the second half started, the Versailles players were able to hold onto the ball. Happy Chandler had sent someone to nearby stores to buy up all of the gloves in town. With gloves, the Versailles players were able to win the game.
Many years later when I met Happy, I told him that I didn't like him, and I explained why to him and to some of his friends at a UK basketball game.
One of his friends said, "I'll tell you one thing, it might have been Happy's idea to get the gloves, but he didn't pay for them!"
The Broaddus boys did all right for themselves. The quarterback became a physician who practiced in Beattyville before moving up East. Charlie went to Centre and got a doctorate in chemistry at the University of Florida. He became vice president of research and development for Procter & Gamble.
Snowy Knoxville
Paul "Bear" Bryant's UK team had won the 1951 SEC championship and were to close out the season by beating Oklahoma 13-7 in the Sugar Bowl. But first the Cats had to go to Knoxville on Nov. 25.
There was immense interest in the game against Tennessee, and the Southern Railroad scheduled an excursion to take UK fans to Knoxville. One problem – and it was a big one. It snowed and never stopped snowing until after the game. Even the train had slow going on the trip to Knoxville. In our car, someone had a radio and there were a lot of UK fans who wished they could turn the train around and go back to Lexington. When we finally got to Knoxville, the Vols led 7-0 and that turned out to be the final score.
A lot of us slid down to the stadium, and when we finally got inside, our seats were covered with about six or seven inches of snow, so we stood.
On the way back to Lexington, the train ran out of food and water and there was no heat.
When we finally made it back to Lexington, so much snow had accumulated that every entrance to my dorm was blocked! A couple of drunks who had been on the train helped me pull a dorm door open.
Icy Peach Bowl
Worst of all was Atlanta on Dec. 31, 1976, when Fran Curci's Cats beat North Carolina 21-0 in the Peach Bowl.
I had bought tickets for about 30 of my Courier-Journal friends. My wife and I and one of our daughters flew down the morning of the game. It was four or five hours until the game, and it was so cold that I had to get a hotel room for just about two hours. And I rented a car to get to the stadium.
When I took my wife and daughter to their seats, I got booed by my C-J friends because I was leaving them and going to a warm press box.
Some warm press box! It was outside. My seat was between an Atlanta writer and one from Charlotte. One of them had a half pint of bourbon that kept us from freezing.
I wrote my story and went to where I had left the rental car. Neither my wife nor daughter was very happy.
A lot of UK fans can vouch for my Tennessee and Peach Bowl stories. I still shiver when I think about them.

As you can see, the Worldwide Yo-Yo Champion of 2010,
Kenny "K-Strass" Strasser Jensen Kimmitt, is also an incredibly accomplished magician. Here, he simultaneously demonstrates his skill with the yo-yo, while also pulling off the incredible trick of seeming kind of cool and possibly even normal, not anything like the weird, Asperger-y, basement nerd who smells like wood glue and social anxiety that one assumes he must be when the stage lights are off and the smoke and mirrors stored away in their trunks. AMAZING!

|King James Version (KJV)
|New International Version (NIV)
|1 From whence come wars and fightings among you? come they not hence, even of your lusts that war in your members?
|1 What causes fights and quarrels among you? Don't they come from your desires that battle within you?
|2 Ye lust , and have not: ye kill , and desire to have , and cannot obtain : ye fight and war , yet ye have not, because ye ask not.
|2 You want something but don't get it. You kill and covet, but you cannot have what you want. You quarrel and fight. You do not have, because you do not ask God.
|3 Ye ask , and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may consume it upon your lusts.
|3 When you ask, you do not receive, because you ask with wrong motives, that you may spend what you get on your pleasures.
|4 Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God.
|4 You adulterous people, don't you know that friendship with the world is hatred toward God? Anyone who chooses to be a friend of the world becomes an enemy of God.
|5 Do ye think that the scripture saith in vain, The spirit that dwelleth in us lusteth to envy?
|5 Or do you think Scripture says without reason that the spirit he caused to live in us envies intensely?
|6 But he giveth more grace. Wherefore he saith , God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble.
|6 But he gives us more grace. That is why Scripture says: "God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble."
|7 Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.
|7 Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.
|8 Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded.
|8 Come near to God and he will come near to you. Wash your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded.
|9 Be afflicted , and mourn , and weep : let your laughter be turned to mourning, and your joy to heaviness.
|9 Grieve, mourn and wail. Change your laughter to mourning and your joy to gloom.
|10 Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift you up .
|10 Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will lift you up.
|11 Speak not evil one of another, brethren. He that speaketh evil of his brother, and judgeth his brother, speaketh evil of the law, and judgeth the law: but if thou judge the law, thou art not a doer of the law, but a judge.
|11 Brothers, do not slander one another. Anyone who speaks against his brother or judges him speaks against the law and judges it. When you judge the law, you are not keeping it, but sitting in judgment on it.
|12 There is one lawgiver, who is able to save and to destroy : who art thou that judgest another?
|12 There is only one Lawgiver and Judge, the one who is able to save and destroy. But you--who are you to judge your neighbor?
|13 Go to now, ye that say , To day or to morrow we will go into such a city, and continue there a year, and buy and sell , and get gain :
|13 Now listen, you who say, "Today or tomorrow we will go to this or that city, spend a year there, carry on business and make money."
|14 Whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapour, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away .
|14 Why, you do not even know what will happen tomorrow. What is your life? You are a mist that appears for a little while and then vanishes.
|15 For that ye ought to say , If the Lord will , we shall live , and do this, or that.
|15 Instead, you ought to say, "If it is the Lord's will, we will live and do this or that."
|16 But now ye rejoice in your boastings: all such rejoicing is evil.
|16 As it is, you boast and brag. All such boasting is evil.
|17 Therefore to him that knoweth to do good, and doeth it not, to him it is sin.
|17 Anyone, then, who knows the good he ought to do and doesn't do it, sins.

Bacon Shortbread Cookies
4 comments:
Delicious blend of salty sweet! Also, I love that these are little piggy cut outs-adorable. Definitely ones to load into the cookie jar!ReplyDelete
Are you serious?!? These look amazing!!!! I am so trying these out! I need some piggy cookie cutters!ReplyDelete
Bacon! Shortbread! Chocolate! With all my favorite foods involved, there is nothing to stop me from making these. And I love your cookie-cutting sense of humor.ReplyDelete
Thank you for this! My son-in-law LOVES bacon. He says there is no recipe that can't be made better by adding bacon. He also loves raspberries, so I used your recipe as the starter for bacon-raspberry shortbread. (I made the cookies into balls and pressed down in the center.

History of Carless, Capel & Leonard
CARLESS, CAPEL & LEONARD origins go back to 1859 when Eugene Carless formed an oil refining and distilling business situated at Hope Works, Hackney Wick, London. He later entered into a partnership with George Capel but this was dissolved in 1872 after just 2 years. During this period the company had
Sign circa 1910
started selling a new product called "Petrol" - a solvent based product distilled from Petroleum. The trade name "Petrol" was to remain in common use by the company and the product itself was found to be most suitable for use as a fuel for the later internal combustion engine.
Having dissolved the partnership with Eugene Carless, George Capel then formed a new partnership with John Leonard which traded as Carless, Capel & Leonard. Eugene Carless had no interest in the business other than as an employee with the position of Works Manager. The new partnership would not last long though for by 1874 George Capel had sold out his entire interests to John Leonard.
Carless, the foreshortened company name, had become one of the leading distilleries in Britain for imported American crude oil. The company also produced a range of products such as lamp oils, carburine, and benzoline all of which had been derived from coal tar and shales.
With the advent of the motor car and the fuel in which to drive it the company had to defend on several occasions its product name of "Petrol" as other companies tried to use the name "Petrol" as well. Carless had been unable to officially register the name of "Petrol as a trade name as it was considered a descriptive term but through many years of common usage they were able to defend their right to it as a product name. With "Petrol" off the agenda other companies marketed their products as "Motor Spirit"
The company had become a major concern both in its refining, and distribution operations with a network of over 1,000 agents. It also had important business relationships with companies such as Daimler. The company's range of products included lubricating oils and greases and motor fuel brands of; Carless, Carless Movril,
1920's visible petrol pump with a later 1930's Carless No 1 Motor Spirit globe
Carless Carbus, Carless Lighthouse Aviation Spirit, and Carless Coalene Mixture a 1930's brand made from coal.
In a twist to their protection of the name "Petrol" the company also had a brand called 'Carless No1' Motor Spirit seen advertised here on this 1920's petrol pump.
After the 2nd World War the company changed its name to Carless Refining and Marketing Ltd where it continued in business as a refining and distilling company. In 2000 it merged with Petrochem, a major European Distributor of Chemical Solvents, and is now called Petrolchem Carless Ltd.

How I Met Your Mother Producer on Robin Shocker: More to Come!by TV Fanatic Staff at . Comments
SPOILER WARNING: Stop reading now if you have not yet watched this week's How I Met Your Mother episode.
At the conclusion of "The Rebound Girl," Robin shocked us all when she revealed to Barney that she was... pregnant! Where is the show taking this unexpected storyline? Creator Carter Bays won't say for sure, but he does tell EW it's part of a much longer-term plan.
"There's more to come," Bays previews. "This little story isn't over yet... there are more revelations in store... new questions will arise and I feel like, this story, we are using this device a little bit to set the stage for a bigger story that is setting up the events of the rest of the series."
Bays acknowledges that Robin's pregnancy is a "game changer" and simply says to tune in on December 5 to see how Kevin plays into it.
What did you think of the surprise?
Where did you get your info from? I'd love to read more on it.
Robin tells barney that she doesn't see how it could be his. Kevin and robin carry on towards having the baby together. barney ends up in that stable relationship they're saying he will. eventually the baby is born, it is fully caucasian, therefore can't be kevin's. barney and robin end up back together, the bride that we see at the end of the season is robin, with their baby in her dressing room. i feel like i should say spoilers...
Perhaps she will have a miscarriage or fine out it was a "false positive" like what happened with Lily last year.
Are we sure she will even keep the baby? Robin doesn't want kids, remember... But I do hope she changes her mind now that she's pregnant.
As long as Barney is the father I don't mind!! I really hope they don't do a big "Who's the daddy?" storyline either!!!
i think ted's the father!

Thu, Nov 03, 2005
During an introductory General Session at the Aircraft Owners
and Pilots Association Expo in Tampa, Florida, Secretary of
Transportation Norman Y. Mineta announced that he had granted a
90-day extension to the comment period on the Washington, DC, area
Mineta's voice grew stern when he discussed airspace violations,
which he described as a near-daily occurrence. "It's an issue of
accountability," he said to the audience. which consisted mostly of
pilots and people closely aligned with aviation. He blamed the
closure of Potomac Airfield on "continued violations," which is the
most detailed statement any government official has made on the
controversial closing.
He bluntly told the AOPA
members to forget about a change in the post-911 security regime;
in his view, the changes are permanent. But he agreed to
In an introduction that recapped Mineta's career, and his many
connections with aviation (two sons are pilots for Delta and
SkyWest; his wife is a retired United flight attendant, and he was
a principal author of the General Aviation Revitalization Act),
AOPA President Phil Boyer mentioned the 17,682 comments on the
Notice of Proposed Rule Making.
Mineta took evident pleasure in correcting Boyer's numbers. "My
latest count is 17,912, not 17,682," the Secretary said with a
grin. He quipped that he hadn't personally read them all yet (an
enormous undertaking).
But then he dropped his bombshell. "I have directed the FAA to
reopen the comment period for 90 days," he said, producing
spontaneous applause. But he wasn't done.
"There will be a full public meeting," Mineta said, producing
another burst of applause. He went on to say that the government
will not just be represented by Transportation agencies such as
FAA, but that security agencies -- the true, shadowy, and
previously unaccountable powers behind the airspace grab -- will be
present at the hearing.
After Mineta concluded his remarks, Phil Boyer thanked him,
pointing out that the 90 day comment period was longer than the
organization had pressed for -- or expected.
This is no commitment to change the ADIZ proposal, but the
commitment to listen is an important step. The information on the
comment extension and the public hearing (or hearings; AOPA is
already pushing to have multiple hearings around the country, not
just one in Washington) will be published in the Federal
Instructions to make a comment on the ADIZ are available on
AOPA's website at www.aopa.org/adizalert
and Aero-News is assured that the Department of Transportation
staff are reading -- and tallying -- the comments.
We'll be carrying more from Secretary Mineta's significant
speech in real time today, and it will also be featured in
tomorrow's Aero-News Special Report Aero-Cast.

Anatomy of the anterolateral ligament of the knee.
Summary of "Anatomy of the anterolateral ligament of the knee."
In 1879, the French surgeon Segond described the existence of a 'pearly, resistant, fibrous band' at the anterolateral aspect of the human knee, attached to the eponymous Segond fracture. To date, the enigma surrounding this anatomical structure is reflected in confusing names such as '(mid-third) lateral capsular ligament', 'capsulo-osseous layer of the iliotibial band' or 'anterolateral ligament', and no clear anatomical description has yet been provided. In this study, the presence and characteristics of Segond's 'pearly band', hereafter termed anterolateral ligament (ALL), was investigated in 41 unpaired, human cadaveric knees. The femoral and tibial attachment of the ALL, its course and its relationship with nearby anatomical structures were studied both qualitatively and quantitatively. In all but one of 41 cadaveric knees (97%), the ALL was found as a well-defined ligamentous structure, clearly distinguishable from the anterolateral joint capsule. The origin of the ALL was situated at the prominence of the lateral femoral epicondyle, slightly anterior to the origin of the lateral collateral ligament, although connecting fibers between the two structures were observed. The ALL showed an oblique course to the anterolateral aspect of the proximal tibia, with firm attachments to the lateral meniscus, thus enveloping the inferior lateral geniculate artery and vein. Its insertion on the anterolateral tibia was grossly located midway between Gerdy's tubercle and the tip of the fibular head, definitely separate from the iliotibial band (ITB). The ALL was found to be a distinct ligamentous structure at the anterolateral aspect of the human knee with consistent origin and insertion site features. By providing a detailed anatomical characterization of the ALL, this study clarifies the long-standing enigma surrounding the existence of a ligamentous structure connecting the femur with the anterolateral tibia. Given its structure and anatomic location, the ALL is hypothesized to control internal tibial rotation and thus to affect the pivot shift phenomenon, although further studies are needed to investigate its biomechanical function.

Like most entrepreneurs, you probably have little time for visiting dealerships one by one to find out about auto financing. Well, let your mouse sniff out the bargains, at least initially. Research on the internet is your swiftest tool when looking for the best lender deal to finance your commercial vehicles. Doing your homework by reading web-posted offerings from auto manufacturers, financial institutions, independent companies and specialized fleet service companies means you can start your search by shopping around for loans by computer. Navigating most of the sites is easier than ever, thanks to the advice, tips and links that sites now offer.
You can compare costs and values for new and used vehicles with the Kelley Blue Book and similar automotive informational guides. One of the most researched auto resources is www.autobytel.com , which offers tools to calculate your monthly loan payments, taking into account current rebates and insurance premium quotes. Even Google Finance has entered the automotive fleet business and compares leasing quotes for vehicle fleets from more than 700 financial institutions.
Chrysler/Dodge, Ford, GM, Nissan and Toyota offer various methods of funding your light truck fleets. Ford Credit's commercial lending services for both large and small fleet owners have flexible terms and rates. GM's financing and leasing division, GMAC, offers extended terms through its SmartLease plan, which allows you to pay for the portion of the vehicle you expect to use during the leasing period. Its SmartBuy program offers lower monthly payments with a balloon payment at the end of the lease, and the SmartEdge program offers different payment options, details on payment calculations and types of insurance coverage.
Check out www.nissanusa.com for a credit tutorial including credit laws, terminology and factors affecting your credit rating. When you're ready to buy or lease, Nissan Motor Acceptance Corp. helps make your decisions more affordable. DaimlerChrysler (which includes Dodge and Jeep) has launched its latest version of the Business Vehicle Finance program to customize packages for companies' car and truck needs, taking into account your balance sheets, tax liability and the intent and size of your business. GE Commercial Finance Fleet Services covers a wide spectrum of options, including ways to help you improve cash flow and spread costs out over time. It also adds daily fuel reporting to its web-based applications, My.Dashboard and My.Reports, to help clients pinpoint inefficiencies and monitor fuel prices.
Although auto manufacturers usually recommend financial institutions with auto-related services, you can also turn to independent financing services to lease or buy. OPEN from American Express comes to the rescue with a $100,000 term loan or line of credit with no collateral or required minimum balance. If you are already a business card member and have been in business for at least two years, you'll qualify for special rates.

In this week's geology podclast, we discussed the recently launched Kepler mission, and how the media brouhaha surrounding it has often failed to distinguish between 'Earth-like' in the sense of planets that share Earth's mass and orbital period, and 'Earth-like' in the sense of 'life-supporting' – and the fact that Kepler is geared to finding the former rather than the latter. Kepler is designed to look for the signs of planetary transits – dips in a stars' brightness that occurs when any extra-solar planet moves between us and its parent star. The smaller the planet, the smaller the effect of its transit, and the harder it is for ground-based telescopes to filter out any signal from twinkly atmospheric distortion. By escaping this noise by deploying outside the Earth's atmosphere, and by observing the same section of the sky continously for several years, Kepler (and the European Space Agency CoRoT mission, which works along similar principles) is well-equipped to find planets with Earth-like masses in hundred-day orbits, rather than the gas giants that dominate the catalogue of known extra-solar planets.
So, Kepler can identify rocky planets with Earth-like masses that orbit at the right distance from their parent stars that liquid water can potentially exist on their surfaces*. However, what it can't do is tell us whether they have actually developed into life supporting worlds; and in our own solar system, Venus (about 25% closer to the sun than the Earth, about 80% of its mass, and yet a heat-sterilised volcanic hell-hole) provides a cautionary tale about getting too carried away if and when we start finding extra-solar 'Earths'. In reality, we'll have to wait for the likes of the Terrestrial Planet Finder or Darwin to directly identify possible signatures of life on any candidates that Kepler tracks down, by looking at the spectral characteristics of their atmospheres (although big Earth telescopes may also be able to contribute). However, this shouldn't be seen as a shortcoming. Kepler is designed to fill in a big gap in our present knowledge of solar systems outside our own: by the end of its mission, we'll have a much better idea of the average number of planets around a typical star, and the distribution of their sizes and orbits. We'll know whether our solar system, with its inner rocky planets and outer gas giants, is typical or unusual.
Of course, knowing these things does, in a broader sense, have an impact on the question of the rarity or abundance of life (or at least, our type of life) elsewhere in the Universe. As in any question where any answer basically boils down to guessing from a virtually non-existent dataset, opinions on this question range right from 'it's everywhere' to 'it's just here'. Advocates of the latter talk of the 'Rare Earth': they believe that the emergence of life (or, at least, complex life) is the end product of a sequence of highly improbable events (such as the impact that formed the moon) that effectively make the Earth a rather favoured place in the Universe. Philosophically, I find this a rather unconvincing argument; a last remanent of mankind's inner child, still determinedly insisting that we are, in some way, the centre of the Universe. But scientifically, I must admit our ignorance: we presently lack the knowledge to even begin to calculate the odds. Once Kepler is done, however, we'll finally have some relevant information on the rates of small rocky planet formation in reasonably close, stable, orbits. As it turns out, any number much above zero is a blow against the 'Rare Earth', thanks to the cumulative effect of mind-boggling numbers. There are maybe 300 billion stars in the Milky Way: even if only 1% of them have rocky planets in the right place, that's still 3 billion potential Earths. In the light of that number, the possibility that the journey from rocky planet to life-supporting rocky planet depends on a convergence of other low probability events seems much less intimidating; when you have several hundred million goes at the roulette wheel, you're probably going to luck out more than a few times.
Of course, we'll have to wait until the numbers are actually in; but whilst Kepler is not going to spot any new Earths out their beyond the Final Frontier, it should provide some solid hints about if, and how often, we eventually will.
*the so-called 'habitable zone', although – since this automatically classifies anywhere else as uninhabitable – it's not a designation I'm particularly fond of.

CVB Financial Corp. Reports Earnings For 2012
CVB Financial Corp. (NASDAQ:CVBF) and its subsidiary, Citizens Business Bank ("the Company"), announced earnings for the year ended December 31, 2012.
CVB Financial Corp. reported net income of $77.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2012, compared with net income of $81.7 million for 2011. Diluted earnings per share were $0.74 for the year ended December 31, 2012, compared to $0.77 for the same period last year. Net income for 2012 included pre-tax debt termination expense of approximately $20.4 million, which represents the present value of future interest payments and lender hedge termination fees, related to the August 2012 redemption of $250.0 million of fixed rate loans from the Federal Home Loan Bank ("FHLB"). The terminated FHLB loans carried an average coupon rate of 3.39% and a weighted average remaining life of 2.6 years. The Company also elected to redeem $48.0 million in junior subordinated debentures during 2012 bearing interest at 2.85% to 3.25% above the 90-day LIBOR. These repayments were made to reduce future interest expense. Operating results for the year ended December 31, 2012 reflected zero loan loss provision, compared to $7.1 million for 2011.
Chris Myers, President and CEO, commented, "2012 was the second most profitable year in CVBF history and would have been the most profitable had we not elected to prepay $250 million in FHLB debt in August. We are pleased with the consistency of our operating performance over the last seven fiscal quarters and remain proud of the outstanding efforts of our associates."
Net income for the year ended December 31, 2012 produced a return on beginning equity of 10.81%, a return on average equity of 10.31% and a return on average assets of 1.19%. The efficiency ratio for 2012 was 54.64% (46.58% excluding the FHLB debt termination), compared to 52.45% (51.21% excluding the prior year FHLB debt termination) for 2011.

Youth Report: LBL Fossil Hunt
By Matt Markgraf & Aaron Sikkel
Did you know that this region was once part of an ancient body of water called the Western Interior Seaway? A large inland sea pushed countless numbers of fossils into this area in the mid-to-late Cretaceous period. WKMS Youth Reporter Aaron Sikkel went on a fossil hunt at Land Between the Lakes with Naturist Andrea Woody in search for Brachiopods, Trilobites, and other weird looking creatures that called western Kentucky home over a billion years ago.
Special thanks to Aaron's mom, WKMS Youth Project Volunteer Claire Fuller for coordinating the interview and photos. Learn more about the Youth Radio Project and how your child can participate by emailing at firstname.lastname@example.com.

In a veiled attack on Narendra Modi, Delhi chief minister Sheila Dikshit said her government had ensured harmony during the last 15 years in the Capital and there had been no riots in the city.
Modi, who was named the Bharatiya Janata Party's (BJP) prime ministerial candidate for the 2014 general elections, carries the baggage of the 2002 Gujarat riots.
Addressing party workers at Bharti Artist Colony in east Delhi, Dikshit wondered if there was any link between the elevation of Modi and communal riots in Muzzaffar Nagar in western Uttar Pradesh, which left 43 people dead.
"We maintained peace and tranquility whereas the opposition is taking the route of riots to capture power. They have become impatient being in the opposition for a long period and have been disturbing communal harmony," Dikshit said.
The Delhi BJP is relying heavily on the Modi factor this elections. Even before the central leadership announced him as the PM candidate, several ticket aspirants started using his photograph on their banners and posters.
Modi is likely to address a huge rally in Delhi on September 29 and the BJP has formed special teams to make arrangements. The BJP attributed its victory in the Delhi University Student Union elections to the Modi factor.
The Congress' all India general secretary and in-charge of Delhi elections Shakeel Ahmed, however, had a different view. "Modi was declared as the BJP's PM candidate at 6 pm while the voting for DUSU ended at 5 pm. I don't see a link between the two," Ahmed said.
Targeting the BJP for promising a 30% reduction in electricity tariff, east Delhi MP Sandeep Dikshit said electricity tariff in Delhi was still one of the lowest in the country and showed figures on how several BJP-run states had higher a power tariff.
Delhi Health minister and area MLA Ashok Kumar Walia said the meeting was organised to motivate the party cadres before the assembly elections and give them a detailed brief of the government's achievements, which the workers should share with the people of Delhi.
A divorce, a jail term, determined foes: Bihar CM Nitish Kumar fighting a lone battle?
The divorce between Narendra Modi's Bharatiya Janata Party and Nitish Kumar's Janata Dal(U) and a few days of change in residence for Rashtriya Janata Dal's Lalu Prasad – from 10, Circular Road in Patna to the Ranchi jail in Jharkhand – have totally changed the game that is played in Bihar.
Angry with the SP, convinced that the Congress is a losing proposition, unsure of AAP's ability to win, and fearful that Mayawati may ally with the BJP in the future, Muslims have a difficult choice.
