A 20-year-old Clover man has been charged in connection with a series of residential break-ins across the Lake Wylie and River Hills communities, authorities say.
Thomas Grant Bridges was arrested late last week on 11 charges, including grand larceny, second-degree burglary and petit larceny.
Authorities said Bridges is suspected of breaking into at least six homes since December. He is accused of stealing items worth about $95,000.
Bridges was jailed under $30,940 bond, and the York County sheriff's office said additional charges are possible. Steve Lyttle

|Good bass
Review by
Psycs from Funen, Denmark
I have this bass in the recommended size sealed box running 4 ohms on each coil via the SPL GRLA2200/2. I have had this installation for half a year and it does it very well. It's not competition power, but it handles my everyday needs just great. I can recommend this to anyone who want's a good deal of bass and doesn't need the whole car to fall apart.
As additional info I will say that it is very important to break this unit in.

A National Anthem that Begins and Ends with a Question
And then the poet repeats the injunction "Say!" and changes the question. The opening question — can you still see our flag? — is a synecdoche of sorts for a bigger question — does that flag "yet wave/O'er the Land of the Free and the Home of the Brave"? The second question refers not only to the battle at hand, but to the destiny of the country. The question is not only whether the flag of freedom still flies over America but also whether America itself is still brave and free.
The fearful vigil through the nocturnal bombardment, the fleeting glimpse of the national colors, the moment of truth in the gathering light of dawn — these are a metaphor for the national condition. The flag enduring the enemy bombardment is only a symbol for the true subject of the poem, namely the reaction of the hearer himself. The opening "Say!" placed us at the poet's side at dawn; the second "Say!" makes this a metaphor for the national condition. Key addresses the second "Say!" to all generations of Americans: Are you still brave enough to be free? Your national existence, implies the poet, will be a long vigil, in which America's true character will be glimpsed sporadically in the reflection of enemy attacks.
Again, Key's question is not rhetorical, but existential: the answer to the question depends on the response of we who hear it. There are few instances of the second person in poetry with which to compare this, although the device is very ancient. A few come to mind. One is the Song of Deborah in Judges 5:2. Another is Simonides' epitaph for the three hundred Spartans who held the pass against the Persians at Thermopylae in 480 BC. "O passer-by: tell the men of Lacedaemon that we died doing our duty." The poignancy of the epitaph is that these dead men must ask a passer-by to bring the news to their homeland. The reader of the epitaph figuratively becomes the messenger. In John Donne's familiar "Ask not for whom the bell tolls/It tolls for thee," the subject becomes not death in general, but the very personal death of the hearer. And the second-person address in Francis Scott Key's anthem asks each of us: "Are you good enough to be an American?" It is a question we should ask ourselves every day.

A wonderful post and quite relevant given the upcoming bicentennial celebration of the bombardment of Fort McHenry
I believe that when one sings the National Anthem that it should be performed within certain guidelines as its status precludes it from personal ownership and alteration. It should be sung to a certain rhythm and tempo but most of all the final lines should be inflected so that all who listen can hear quite clearly that it is question of whether it's the land that is still free (as opposed to the flag still flying)

I agree, America is an idea. Free for all the world, explained in a surprising few books, pamphlets and a couple of compelling documents, all of which translate into other tongues well.
The States United are a place. To be cherished and protected, and not free, but part of the inheritance of those brave and strong enough to keep them.
God bless the American Idea, and protect the States.

That's nothing. Thursday we discovered a high mass particle called the "Moron" in the Supreme Court. Also known as the "Roberts Particle", it emits a field that suppresses Liberty everywhere it reaches. It is theorized by some, that the effects of the Moron can be blocked by stockpiles of modern precious metals; i.e. brass and lead.

I'm certain the tens of millions of illegal aliens have America's best interests at heart. After all, our own president called them Americans in all areas except on paper. It will be the last amnesty, after all; the Reagan one was just a test. This time it's different.
Yes, America will assimilate these Hispanics as well as it has produced model Italian-Americans like Snooki or John Gotti. The decline in Anglo-Saxon virtues just means the educational sector needs even more money; it has nothing to do with Anglo-Saxon Americans now being less than a tenth of the population.
My question is this. In a world where brain dead religious fundamentalists, underclass marginal laborers, single mom mamzer machine welfare parasites, and deracinated multiculturalist mongrels…

And I am a Portuguese born American who invites you to say that to my face — but smile when you say it. (And even that might not save you.)
No, we shouldn't take people we require not to assimilate into our culture. That's what's killing us, the death of culture NOT the death of race.
As for cultures with 2.5 children per family, they deserve nothing. That's barely replacement rate — less in a wealthy culture where many choose not to marry/reproduce. The future belongs to those who show up, and it was always a numbers game. You fail to reproduce, you lose. (And not, for the love of heaven, the Earth is not overpopulated.

Americans have always wanted the best virtue, except perhaps until very recently, but have always had the moral restraint to leave enforcement to the government. We have the sad case of a country that once had the highest quality people in the world, but the government chose to elect a new people, for no reason at all.July 4, 2012 - 9:00 am Link to this Comment | Reply
I was nice while it lasted. I count 40 presidents from George to Ronald. A biblical number of completeness. What came after is not worthy of any praise. Now this America will have to fight to survive the hordes of imposters and barbarians that managed to break the gates and are spreading disorder. If this is a brave and free country this is also the hour to prove it. Long live the American Constitution and the brave men that know that freedom has to be earned in every generation. Millions of eyes are watching you: be brave and do what needs to be done.

The answer to Key's question is provided in the last stanza of Longfellow's poem, "Paul Revere's Ride".
"Through all our history, to the last,
In the hour of darkness and peril and need,
The people will waken and listen to hear
The hurrying hoof-beats of that steed,
And the midnight message of Paul Revere."July 4, 2012 - 10:44 am Link to this Comment | Reply

According to accounts of the famous ride of Paul Revere, William Dawes and others, one version of the warning shouted by the riders was "To arms! The Regulars are out!"

Perhaps indeed we should do it every day, but since this is a special day, let us particularly make this a Rededication Day: when we promise ourselves and each other and God that we will not give up, as so many people seem to be doing in the aftermath of the Supreme Court decision, and will keep looking for ways in which we can work to keep all the past thinking and fighting in support of the founding ideals from having been in vain. Specifically, important as the upcoming election is, we also need to think far beyond it, and I hope to offer some further thoughts on this subject sometime soon in another venue.
I will probably post remarks more or less like this as comments on some other blogs where I see similar sentiments of apprehension.

Mr. Goldman, thank you for a great thought provoking writing. As an immigrant who came to this country, and kiss the ground I walk on, am greatly dissappointed by those who are born here and are so complacent and ignorant of this greatest of gifts given to mankind. They are so unconcious of the fragility of democracy. They end by saying,"…it can never happen here." They seem to be oblivious of the "brick by brick" dismantling of our rights, liberty and freedom, by those who label themselves, "Liberals", but are actually Leftists in all regards. The classic Liberals of old, like Rousseau, Locke, and others, wrote their treatises living under oppressive forms of governemnt. They had a reason to do what they did. And the lessons they teach us are brushed off as, "works of old white men."
I hope that is election, on Nov.6, becomes our "Battle of Saratoga" moment, known in history as the turning point of the American Revolution. I hope the electorate wakes up and stop this Facist locomotive that seems to be gaining more speed by the day.
"What, then, is the government? An intermediary body established between the subjects and the sovereign for their mutual communication, a body charged with the execution of the laws and the maintenance of freedom, both civil and political."

Thank you for the reminders. We went to an Army Band concert/fireworks display last night. There was a light breeze, the kind that makes the flag wave so prettily during the singing of The Star Spangled Banner. Listening, I was struck how it is song about beginnings — the dawning of a day, yes, but also written at the dawning of a new country with a new philosophy in government. So much history has past since then that I couldn't help but wonder where we are on the timeline of America's history.

We survived the French and Indian war. We survived the Revolutionay War and the War of 1812. We survived Pearl Harbor and 9/11. But we will not survive the treason from within by our politicans, judges, bureaucrats, and media. And the relentless battering by rich, monied people who set up legions of anti-democratic non-profits like LaRaza, Color of Change, Greenpeace, U.N. and
others. Nor the unfettered immigration of the Muslim Brotherhood adherents and illegal aliens into the U.S. We just can't take that much constant pounding and that much money allied against us. Only God can save us. But are we worthy?July 4, 2012 - 1:18 pm Link to this Comment | Reply

We can take it. We will take it. The last best hope of mankind shall NOT perish from the Earth.
I'm not promising you it will be easy. The rockets red glare was not fireworks, and we all know what feeds the tree of liberty.
But we can and will take it, and we will emerge victorious. It's very simple — those of us who truly are Americans, have nowhere else to go. So we will fight. Because we have to. And because while we can save other countries, no one can save us.
So we will save ourselves. Because there is no other option.

The Star-Spangled Banner can be considered high art. The lyrics are profound, the music beautiful and the imagery poetic. Musicians today could never match the blood sweat and tears that led to its composition. Liberals flub the lines because they can't grasp the concept – they don't have a clue. Any calls to replace the Star-Spangled Banner as our national anthem should be ignored.July 4, 2012 - 3:51 pm Link to this Comment | Reply

And "Love Me Tender" uses the melody of "Aura Lee." What's your point? Nothing wrong with taking a traditional pub sing-along and elevating it to a higher purpose, is there?

The tune of the Star-Spangled Banner originally was the anthem of the Anacreontic Society, an amateur musicians' club. It is a rather difficult tune, not suited to pub singing. It is attributed to the British composer and church organist John Stafford Smith. I think it is a good tune for an anthem.July 4, 2012 - 7:25 pm Link to this Comment | Reply

Hard thoughts to read, in the wake of John Robert's cowardice last week. Literally, if this is not the home of the brave, it will cease to be the land of the free. Now, for the rest of my days, we will have a federal government with the full power to order us how to spend our money (as long as the IRS enforces the directive). A government that already owns GM, that guarantees the obligations of every big bank, that funds billions in crony capitalist green investments, that mandates lightbulbs we can buy and corn ethanol in every gas tank, that ladles out billions in subsidies and regulatory protections to protected industries; a government in short that is for sale to the highest bidder. 2012 is proving to be a pivotal year in answering Keys' questions, perhaps for all time.July 4, 2012 - 4:29 pm Link to this Comment | Reply

If I recall the article correctly, a South Korean immigrant said, "I can go out to my mail box dressed in shorts,T-shirt, and sandals, and nobody will think anything about it or comment. In my old home town in S.Korea the gossips would start before I got back into the house, and I would hear about the way I was dressed before the end of the day."

"Sometimes freedom is found in the little things."
I had a very similar thought once myself. I was working in a place in Jersey City, NJ that employed many immigrants. They made OK money, but it was rather hard and tedious work.
Sometimes I wondered why these folks would leave their homelands to come to very unexciting Jersey City and toil away in that place.
And then one day I realized: they can take their earnings, buy a pack of Marlboros and smoke them up and no one will tell them "you shouldn't do that".
That IS freedom too and we are on the verge of losing it.

Actually the USofA will cease being the USofA if/when English is no longer spoken here, or European Christians cease being the majority population.
A Muslim majority for example or a Spanish speaking majority will fundamentally transform the USofA into something quite different than the Anglo Nation we have had and are quickly losing.

Thanks for writing, Mr. Smith. Great minds think alike. Today's post was (as I indicated in a link) a rewrite of a 2004 essay in Asia Times. I hadn't seen your column, but I'll look out for your work going forward.
Regarding Islam's problems, I've gotten some support from Nick Eberstadt at AEI:

Part of the Muslim fertility "collapse" is that the most virile are the ones moving to Europe to take over. You see their massive families in the UK, 5-7 children by age 28 or so, and they get a lot of welfare money to do it.
Labour doesn't care about native labor, and Conservatives won't conserve anything. Any alternative parties are unfairly slandered as Nazis, even if they are. Much of Europe is already de facto conquered territory, in the same way the US must always allow for more Russian art students. More leads to more, or else.
When the West is definitely hollowed out, Muslim countries will again have stratospheric fertility to complete the conquest of the East. It's simply an inherent feature of the religion, the most perfectly engineered sexual selection mechanism ever created. It will never, ever be defeated in the long run, in peacetime conditions. Conditions have to change.July 5, 2012 - 12:08 am Link to this Comment | Reply

The first time I thought about it the way Spengler describes was during a singing of the anthem at a church service after 9/11.July 4, 2012 - 8:36 pm Link to this Comment | Reply

I remember that even after 9/11, they always only sang the first verse. The complete work is a mystery to Americans now.July 5, 2012 - 12:28 am Link to this Comment | Reply

Great post, but like America, Ancient Israel was also founded on a set of ideas put forth in the Torah and the Ten Commandments, which like the Constitution, the Bill of Rights, and the Federalist Papers, were written by a group of very wise men.
And so it follows that Americans and Jews, two bright lights among the nations of the world, are both equally hated by the forces of darkness.July 4, 2012 - 9:14 pm Link to this Comment | Reply

and perhaps it is time to sing another verse.
And thus be it ever when free men shall stand between their loved homes and the war's desolation….
That verse is truly awe inspiring.July 4, 2012 - 10:50 pm Link to this Comment | Reply

Nice essay. However, the Star Spangled Banner has four verses. The last verse does not end in a question, so the premise of the article is a bit flawed.July 5, 2012 - 5:33 am Link to this Comment | Reply

Your point is well taken, but I stand by the analysis. The remaining strophes answer the question, but as much as I honor the content (particularly the image of the invaders' blood washing out their foul footsteps' pollution), they are dreadful verse. As a poem, the first strophe stands by itself. There's a good reason to sing only the first of four. From a literary vantage point, Key does something remarkable in the first strophe: asking the question puts the listener next to the poet, watching for the flag at dawn, and through the imperative "Say!," the poet demands that the listener actually be there. That is what distinguishes artful literature from doggerel: it requires us to be involved. Again, compare it to Simonides' epitaph: The imperative "Tell them in Sparta" makes the reader an auxiliary of Leonides' three hundred.July 5, 2012 - 5:40 am Link to this Comment | Reply

IMHO, the final stanza is a pretty good patriotic lesson, if not great art. We used to sing it at weekly patriotic assemblies at my Philadelphia elementary school in the sixties and early seventies. We also sang the military service anthems.
Such were the days.July 5, 2012 - 7:06 am Link to this Comment | Reply

You brought up a good point. America is founded on the basis of a political religion of liberty. Take that away and America is merely an address, instead of a blessing and a cause.
One good thing about Obama, he is making at least some of us appreciate our liberties more. Now did the song put it, you don't what you have until it's gone.July 5, 2012 - 10:58 am Link to this Comment | Reply

Remember our rebellion from Britain started over a 3% tea tax. Now our fed gov alone (not counting state and local) under Obama spends an unrecedented 25% of GDP,and almost half of our population thinks that is OK. We have indeed fallen far.
Obama made one mistake big though, which can be illustrated by using the old boiling frog analogy, where if you raise the temp slowly enough, the frog will not realize his peril and will not jump out of the fatal water. He and his leftist friends, starting in 2008, finally getting the complete control of gov they had waited so long for, got a bit impatient. Instead of very slowly raising the fatal temperature, as leftists (with help from corrupt repubs) had been doing for years, he and his leftist friends raised the temperature so quickly that too many of those complacent and warm frogs have finally woken up, and realized they are being boiled. Thus sprang the tea party, and the salvation of our republic.July 5, 2012 - 6:07 pm Link to this Comment | Reply

Presenting Your Data: Visualizing the Data
in Technology
Join us for Session 3 of the All Analytics A2 Academy, The Results Are In: Presenting Data to Decision Makers. As data continues to grow in size and scope, it is easy to get lost in it. The spreadsheet is no longer the best way to look at most data. As data changes, the way we work with data needs to change as well. Complex data means we need to rely more on computer assistance and on figuring out ways for humans to digest more complicated information. In this episode we will explore:
New methods of displaying data
The value of automating some complex decisions
3D printing as used in data visualization
When to use visualization
How to tell a story with data
Is the Universe a Simulation?
in Science
In this episode, blogger Sacerdotus will speak on the topic "The Universe as a Simulation." Some philosophers and even some physicists believe this may in fact be true. Even Hollywood has touched on the hypothesis via blockbuster movies such as "The Matrix" where humanity is cognitively enslaved in a simulation of the universe.
Are we a "brain in a vat?"
Are we really here or projections on a machine?
Is what we call reality in fact a "Sims game" of sort?
Who made this simulation?
What powers this simulation?
Is this even possible?
Does this prove God exists?
Sacerdotus will touch on these questions and more in this program using philosophy of science paradigms and physics.
Presenting Your Data: Think Presentation From the Start
in Technology
Welcome to Session 1 of the All Analytics A2 Academy: The Results Are In: Presenting Data to Decision Makers. Long before data is ready for delivery to the business unit, the analytics team must consider the options for presentation, evaluating the type of data being utilized, how it will be used, and the audience that will work with the finished results. In this session, learn about:
The myriad options for delivering data results, including text reports, tables, audio presentations, interactive visualizations, and dashboards
How to evaluate the needs of the eventual recipient of the results
Identifying the nature and sustainability of the data at hand
How to define the business unit's goal for using the data
Presenting Your Data: Prepare for Delivery Date
in Technology
Join us for Session 2 of the All Analytics A2 Academy, The Results Are In: Presenting Data to Decision Makers. Think of three possible outcomes at the end of the analytics project: The business unit gets a wealth of information, such as new customer names; the research provides good news, such as validation of a strategy; or nasty surprises are on the way. As the project evolves, the analytics team needs to watch for signs of how the results might turn out. In this episode learn:
How to understand business unit expectations and that positive results can't be guaranteed
Why you need to sample and test
Preparing the business on how to use the results
How to adapt your delivery strategy as the project evolves
How to avoid/prepare for evil surprises
Presenting Your Data: Meet the Line-of-Business Manager
in Technology
Join us for Session 4 of the All Analytics A2 Academy, The Results Are In: Presenting Data to Decision Makers. You've made a finding and have a recommendation. You've got the data to back it up. You know you're right. But other people in the organization might not like it. What do you do? Assuming you don't plan on backing down, it is time to win some hearts and minds. Two people can look at the same data and come to entirely different conclusions. How do you get everyone on board with your version? In this episode we'll discuss:
Focusing a presentation on business goals using the language of the business
Strategies for helping managers digest complex information more readily
Defining the business value in the results
How people see data differently and how to show them new ways
How to build consensus around data
Prepare for the Internet of Things Data Blitz
in Technology
As enterprises steadily connect production equipment, transportation networks, environmentals, and other technologies, those organizations will face the challenges of analyzing, digesting, and acting on volumes of new data. No, we won't throw a switch and suddenly have an Internet of Things, but it is something that will evolve in the coming years, and it could pick up its early momentum in the enterprise space.
Now, how are you going to bring all of that data into enterprise applications, and discover benefits?
Steve Sarracino of Activant Capital will join All Analytics Radio at noon (ET) on December 16 to outline some of the opportunities and challenges for the IoT in the enteprise realm. Steve is a founding partner of Activant, and has been deeply involved in funding and advising companies that provide enterprise applications in the vertical and horizontal spaces.
In this session you will learn:
Why the people tasked with collecting the data on the IoT may have the toughest job
What role dashboards play in viewing IoT data
How your organization can navigate the hard road to predictive analytics
How you can someday enable sensor-driven decision making
Presenting Your Data: Make Better Decisions Over Time
in Technology
Join us for Session 5 of the All Analytics A2 Academy, The Results Are In: Presenting Data to Decision Makers. The point of all this data is to make better, faster decisions. Not all managers are used to working with data, and there is resistance from managers who go by "gut." And even the best managers will sometimes look at data to see the story they want to see rather than the story the data is telling them. Getting to the real truth of the data is the hardest part, but without it, the rest doesn't matter. In this episode you will learn:
How managers can learn to look at data for the answers rather than to support their assumptions
How IT can sort static from data to enable better decisions
How to combine "gut decisions" with "data-driven decisions" to make the right answers
How to choose the right data for the decision
How to have an argument without ruining your career
How to integrate business leader feedback for the next project

Today I am doing a couple of loads of laundry. I am also going to cut JJ's hair. If dh works OT, I will have to run to the store as well. The supermarket is having a Saturday sale. My friend works there, and is getting there early to grab us each two of the turkey breasts that are on sale for $.99/lb. I really don't want to drag both kids to the store during a busy sale day, but I would really like a turkey dinner.

|Summary, etc.:
| "The Dismal Science tells of a middle-aged vice president at the World Bank, Vincenzo D'Orsi, who publicly quits his job over a seemingly minor argument with a colleague. A scandal inevitably ensues, and he systematically burns every bridge to his former life. After abandoning his career, Vincenzo, a recent widower, is at a complete loss as to what to do with himself. The story follows his efforts to rebuild his identity without a vocation or the company of his wife. An exploration of the fragile nature of identity, The Dismal Science reveals the terrifying speed with which a person's sense of self can be annihilated. It is at once a study of a man attempting to apply his reason to the muddle of life and a book about how that same ostensible rationality, and the mathematics of finance in particular, operates-with similarly dubious results-in our world.

Two-alarm fire leaves several Dover residents out in cold
DOVER - In the midst of a wind-driven snowstorm, area firefighters battled a two-alarm fire for hours that destroyed a house on Horne Street Thursday.
Police, firefighters and emergency personnel responded at 1:46 p.m. after a fire was spotted throughout a 2�-story New England style home at 26 Horne St., according to Fire Lt. Dave Hanna.
Hanna said the windy weather and six to eight inches of snow on the ground made everything harder for firefighters.
"The cold definitely slows everything down," Hanna said, adding fire crews had to work extra hard to stretch hoses, move ladders and stay warm.
Hanna said there were no injuries and it helped to have so many fire departments at the scene - especially since firefighters were able to contain the fire and prevent it from spreading.
Hanna said local crews were assisted by firefighters from Durham, Portsmouth, Rochester, Rollinsford, and Somersworth. He added firefighters from Durham, Newington and Berwick, Maine provided station coverage.
While Hanna said he wasn't sure anyone was home when the fire began, the five to six residents in the home will need to find a place to stay.
He estimated the fire, smoke and water caused about $300,000 in damage.
While firefighters from neighboring communities were released, Hanna said local crews cleared the scene around 6 p.m. He added one fire crew will stay at the scene overnight to secure the area for the investigation, watch for rekindling and keep everyone safe.
Once the fire was under control, Hanna said firefighters began the investigation using powerful lights Thursday evening. He said no cause for the fire has been determined at this time.

3. -- U.S. stocks on Friday (markets in the U.S. were closed Monday for Memorial Day) rose, with the S&P 500 closing above 1,900 for the first time ever after stronger-than-expected new home sales in April provided further evidence of a housing recovery.

How Indiewire actually feels about the forthcoming "Peter Pan Live" is yet to be determined, but there's no escaping the fact that it will be happening, and we will be watching it.

Say what you will about "Girls" -- and people have no shortage of opinions on Lena Dunham's show -- the cast is pretty much uniformly excellent (Zosia Mamet forever) and one of those standouts is Allison Williams.

In the marijuana reform movement, there are various splits and ideological factions. A diverse mix of all political types, we're kind of well-known for infighting. Of all the rifts between us, though, these days there's none bigger than the divide between repealers and legalizers.
Put simply: Those who favor the repeal of marijuana laws (as in those rules would be replaced by virtually nothing) make the case that prohibition and the cannabis black market–in all its various forms–are the true harm. They cite that for most adults, cannabis is a beneficial herb and food that should not be taxed or regulated.
On the other end of the spectrum, tax and regulation legalizers argue that safety and taxation could alleviate concerns that permeate some institutional structures when it comes to this new freedom and industry. As the commonwealth looks at the possibility of voting on such conditions in 2016, two places to look for developments on similar fronts would be Colorado and Washington, where the taxation of cannabis is underway.
As for action around here, in one camp, the Marijuana Policy Project–a national reform organization based in Washington, D.C. that led and funded the 2008 Massachusetts ballot initiative for decriminalization–is following its historic Colorado tax and regulation win with eyes on Massachusetts, where organizers are already making plans for a big push over the next two years. In a much different approach, the local organization Bay State Repeal is attempting to make the case that they can do better. To test alternative waters, they're staging a campaign to poll voters on legalization language through nonbinding questions that will appear on a handful of ballots around the state when Massachusetts picks a new governor in November. Basically, voters will be asked if marijuana should be "regulate[d] and tax[ed] like alcohol," or "regulate[d] like herbs" so long as vendors are prevented from selling or providing pot to children.
With so much happening, Blunt Truth sent over a few questions to Bill Downing of Bay State Repeal–a longtime activist, sometimes Dig contributor, and current controversial commonwealth caregiver–to get a sense of the organization's immediate and long game goals.
What questions are Bay State Repeal hoping to run?
Our hope is to pose slightly varying versions of adult regulation in representative districts that voted in similar ways on cannabis ballot initiatives in 2008 [decriminalization] and in 2012 [medicinal cannabis]. Those variations are designed to meter public response to similar but strategically different questions. Just as a for instance, one of a pair of districts may be asked about adult regulation with an age of majority at 21 while the other of that pair may be asked about an 18-year-old majority. By comparing the voter responses in two districts that should otherwise vote very similarly, we can better meter probable voter response at the voting booth in November 2016 when adult regulation will be on ballots statewide.
How can people help?
Bay State Repeal is partnering with MassCann/NORML, the Drug Policy Foundation of Massachusetts, Students for Sensible Drug Policy, the UMASS-Amherst Cannabis Reform Coalition, the NORML Women's Alliance, and others to organize teams of signature gatherers. For each [House] district we need about 300 valid signatures, which means gathering about 500 raw signatures. Gathering 500 signatures is a daunting task, but a task we have won many times now. In fact, we have run almost 50 [nonbinding ballot questions] in Massachusetts and we have never lost. Some very skilled activists have gathered over 100 signatures in one day. Getting signatures on a petition takes a little training, but if you have an outgoing personality, you will quickly realize the appreciation of our large volume of supporters. [More info in how to get involved at masscann.org.
How do you think the Mass Repeal-proposed initiative would differ from what passed in Colorado?
First of all, we hope for legislation that is far, far simpler in both language and implementation. On the retail level cannabis is to be treated as an agricultural commodity with one important distinction–that it not be sold to children. Otherwise, the laws we have in place governing agricultural commodities already do just what we need done for cannabis as well–being properly weighed, packaged and stored as any other agricultural product would. All of these things are covered by laws we have already. Simpler means we don't need a lot of things Washington and Colorado have cluttering their laws … One important thing we don't need that those other states now have is a new giant, powerful, wealthy, state cannabis bureaucracy. Taxation of cannabis by a wealthy new state bureaucracy will mean the continuation of the destructive and amoral black market. A Herald study concluded that about 40 percent of cigarettes sold in Boston are black market cigarettes. Taxation places burdens on cannabis producers and consumers and the only justification is the same old reefer madness we've been trying to throw-off.
Lastly, the limit on the number of plants (6) each adult can grow in Colorado is unrealistic. Why should we limit home gardening at all?
It is my fervent hope the language of the cannabis legalization ballot question in 2016 will have been developed by Bay State Repeal. Even if it has been written by another ballot committee, hopefully with Bay State Repeal's participation, we still have great expectations for superior initiative language in 2016.

From the hunting lodge, enjoy the sights & sounds as literally thousands of geese forage for food in nearby agricultural fields. On a Combination Duck & Goose hunt, Louisiana law allows for the harvest of 22 geese and 6 ducks per hunter. Geese harvested may include: blue, snow, ross, Canadian and white-fronted (specklebelly). Ducks harvested may include: pintail, mallard, teal, gadwall, widgeon, wood duck & shovelers. During the hunt observe the outstanding performance of retrieving ducks & geese by a professionally trained retriever. In addition to the regular goose season, consider the exciting, Special Conservation Order Season. The Conservation Order Season is a desperate attempt by the Wildlife & Fisheries to greatly reduce the population explosion in the huge numbers of blue, snow & ross geese. During this special season we are not allowed to harvest ducks, Canadian or white-fronted (specklebelly) geese. HOWEVER this exciting, incredible Special Season has three outstanding opportunities: The FIRST is the removal of plugs from shotguns allowing hunters to shoot approximately five or more shells in a moment with out reloading. SECOND, there are no daily bag limits! Hunters may harvest as many snow, blue & ross geese as possible in a single hunt. THIRD is the highly effective use of prerecorded goose sounds. Realize exciting, fantastic goose hunting also occurs outside the Special Conservation Order Season when ducks, Canadian & white-fronted (specklebelly) geese are also harvested during the same hunt with blue, snow & ross geese. To maximize shooting opportunities, 300+ of the finest full body goose & duck decoys are used! Each decoy has incredible feather detail and moves with the slightest wind. When possible, pit blinds & portable above ground blinds are used. Blind locations can accommodate 7 - 10 hunters. Occasionally hunters sit or kneel along thick grass areas to hunt. Lying flat on ones back to hunt & shoot is NOT my style of hunting. Goose hunting is my Specialty! It is my PASSION! Discover the true spirit of duck & goose hunting in South Louisiana is not in slaughtering large numbers of game. It is in an outdoor adventure of harvesting a renewable resource while building relationships with family and friends.

High-level View Of Pipeline (Graphic: Business Wire)
Dr. Savitsky added, "The strategic decision we undertook nearly two years ago to enter the dynamic and rapidly growing field of Hepatitis C has recently gained serious traction for BioLineRx. In the first quarter of 2012, we in-licensed BL-8020 and BL-8030, two promising orally-available treatments for Hepatitis C, both of which will be developed toward the clinic at an accelerated pace. Other high value therapeutic areas, like Celiac Disease, are also being pursued. Also, in 2012, we plan to evaluate alternative funding arrangements for pre-clinical projects that do not benefit from our special funding arrangement with the Office of the Chief Scientist of Israel's Ministry of Trade, Industry and Labor.
"In February 2012, BioLineRx completed a $15 million private placement to healthcare-focused U.S. institutional investors. This financing places us on a secure financial footing, with enough capital to implement our development plans over the next two years. The private placement in the U.S. followed the listing of our American Depositary Shares on NASDAQ in mid-2011. We see both these accomplishments as important steps in the development and growth of our company, as we look to establish and expand our presence in the U.S. financial markets, as well as in the global biopharmaceutical industry," concluded Dr. Savitsky.
Highlights for 2011 and 2012 to Date:
Corporate Highlights
- ADS listing on NASDAQ: In July 2011, BioLineRx listed its American Depositary Shares (ADSs) for trading on NASDAQ. The Bank of New York Mellon was appointed as the Company's depositary bank. Each BioLineRx ADS represents 10 ordinary shares.
- Capital Raising: In February 2012, BioLineRx completed a private placement to healthcare-focused U.S. institutional investors of 5.2 million ADSs at a purchase price of $2.86 per ADS, and warrants to purchase up to 2.6 million additional ADSs at an exercise price of $3.57 per ADS. The offering raised $15.0 million, with net proceeds of approximately $14.1 million.
- New VP of Business Development: In October 2011, the Company hired Mr. David Malek as its new Vice President of Business Development in order to enhance the Company's business development strategies and accelerate its commercialization efforts. Mr. Malek joined BioLineRx from Sanofi, where he served as Director of Oncology - New Products and Business Development.
- Compugen Partnership: In December 2011, BioLineRx entered into a collaboration agreement with Compugen Ltd. for the purpose of developing and commercializing mutually selected Compugen-discovered drug candidates for the treatment of various diseases, ranging from acute and chronic inflammatory diseases through cardiac diseases, retinopathy and cancer.
- BL-1020 : In May 2011, BioLineRx re-acquired all of the rights to develop and commercialize BL-1020, an orally available molecule for the treatment of schizophrenia, from Cypress Bioscience and currently holds full global rights to the product. BioLineRx is continuing to develop BL-1020, and commenced the Phase 2/3 CLARITY trial in June 2011 in Romania and India. This 450-patient trial aims to determine the cognitive benefit and anti-psychotic efficacy, safety and tolerability of BL-1020 in schizophrenia patients, compared with Risperidone (one of the leading schizophrenia treatments). In April 2011, BioLineRx announced that a Notice of Allowance was issued by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) for a patent application covering the BL-1020 drug and its use for the treatment of schizophrenia. The patent, when formally issued, will be valid through September 2022 and may be eligible for a patent term extension of up to five years. In March 2012, BioLineRx announced that a European patent was granted claiming BL-1020's composition and its use for the treatment of schizophrenia, which will also be valid through September 2022.
- BL-1040: In December 2011, Ikaria commenced the PRESERVATION I trial, a CE Mark registration trial for BL-1040 (also known as "Bioabsorbable Cardiac Matrix," or BCM), a novel resorbable polymer solution for use in the prevention of cardiac remodeling in patients following an AMI, which is being developed as a medical device. In February 2012, BioLineRx announced that a Notice of Allowance was issued by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) for a patent application claiming the composition of BL-1040. This patent, when issued, will be valid until August 2026. Ikaria is developing BCM/BL-1040 under an exclusive, worldwide license agreement signed with BioLineRx in 2009.
- BL-5010: In September 2011, BL-5010, a novel formulation for the non-surgical removal of skin lesions, received European confirmation from the British Standards Institution Notified Body (BSI) in the UK regarding its regulatory pathway classification as a medical device Class IIa. This considerably reduces the time and resources required for marketing authorization for the product in comparison to the drug approval process. BL-5010 has completed a Phase 1/2 clinical trial in which it demonstrated efficacy in complete removal of benign skin lesions and safety. BL-5010 is applied topically on the lesion for a few minutes and causes the lesion to gradually dry out and shed from the skin within 1-3 weeks.
- BL-1021: In December 2011, BioLineRx announced positive results from the Phase 1a study of BL-1021, a new chemical entity for the treatment of neuropathic pain. In the study, it was demonstrated that a single administration of BL-1021 in the dose range examined was safe and well tolerated, with no significant changes noted in vital signs, ECG or laboratory safety parameters at any dose when compared either to baseline measurements or to the placebo group. In addition, BL-1021 demonstrated a favorable pharmacokinetic profile and the potential for once daily oral administration.
- BL-7040: In June 2011, BioLineRx in-licensed BL-7040, an orally available Phase 2 ready oligonucleotide polymer for treating Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD). In March 2012, the Company received approval from the Israeli Ministry of Health for commencing a Phase 2 study to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of BL-7040 for the treatment of IBD.
- HCV Therapeutic Candidates: In January 2012, BioLineRx signed a worldwide, exclusive license agreement with Genoscience, a French company focused on viral disease therapeutics, to develop and commercialize BL-8020, an orally available treatment for Hepatitis C. BL-8020's safety and efficacy have been demonstrated in pre-clinical studies, which show that BL-8020, when combined with other anti-Hepatitis C virus (HCV) agents, has a synergistic effect. In February 2012, BioLineRx signed a worldwide, exclusive license agreement with Genoscience and RFS Pharma to develop and commercialize BL-8030, an orally available treatment for Hepatitis C. BL-8030 has been shown to have excellent antiviral activity against various HCV genotypes. Pre-clinical studies have demonstrated an improved resistance profile against common protease inhibitor mutants, resulting in a lower probability that the virus will develop resistance to treatment. In addition, BL-8030 has demonstrated a good toxicity profile in pre-clinical studies.
- Addition and Termination of Therapeutic Candidates: As part of its business strategy, BioLineRx continues to actively source, rigorously evaluate and in-license selected therapeutic candidates. Since the beginning of 2011 through the date of this announcement, BioLineRx in-licensed a total of nine projects – eight in pre-clinical stages and one (BL-7040) in clinical development. The Company also terminated three projects during this time period due to lack of efficacy or other scientific considerations – all in early pre-clinical stages, in line with its business strategy.

alternative Uncle Trapspringer). Main focus should be on the aftermath and what
remenants of the Kender remained with Xander and how they affect him and those
around him.
- Xander keeps the Hoopak and the ability to use it, both as a weapon and a
musical instrument
- at least one example of irresistible curiosity
- at least one example of Kender fearlessness
- NO Xander-Slash
Bonus Points:
-for any of the usual Kender quotes (e.g. "It must have fallen in my pocket." "I
was keeping it safe for you." "You shouldn't let your thind lie around, a thief
could come along and steal them.")
- any taunting of Spike that brings him to mindless rage (double if he dusts
because of that)
- for a close look into a Kender's pocket - who knows what useful stuff can be
found there ;)
Double bonus points for Xander uttering the words of doom: "Ooops."

- " We originally were going to stay only 3 nights, but we loved the place so much we stayed for 3 more. The staff is sweet, very helpful, and even invited us to share dinner with them 2 separate times. The location is extremely convenient and close to everything, and there's a place right across the street where a cheap and large breakfast is served. We highly recommend this wonderful guesthouse which is a very good value for money. "

The Slight Edge For Teens
Nerium International is working hand-in-hand with the SUCCESS Foundation to provide teens with fundamental principles of The Slight Edge to help them reach their full potential. This workshop will show your teen how to create a philosophy of action and attitude, discover what matters most in life, deal with the challenges and obstacles of school, family and friends, and learn new ways of thinking so they can make the wisest choices in today's fast-paced life.
This workshop is led by youth motivational speaker Victor Palomares and will be held on Saturday, October 25th, from 1p.m. to 4 p.m. It is also FREE to all teens from ages 12 to 18. Space is limited.
