Navidea Biopharmaceuticals Signs Manufacturing Agreement With Siemens' PETNET Solutions For NAV4694 Beta-amyloid Imaging Agent
Navidea Biopharmaceuticals, Inc. (NYSE MKT:NAVB), a biopharmaceutical company focused on precision diagnostic radiopharmaceuticals, today announced it has signed an agreement with Siemens' PETNET Solutions that grants PETNET Solutions the right to manufacture Navidea's Fluorine-18 labeled NAV4694, an investigational beta-amyloid PET imaging agent, which is currently being evaluated in Phase 2 and 3 clinical trials evaluating subjects with signs or symptoms of cognitive impairment such as Mild Cognitive Impairment and Alzheimer's disease. Under the terms of its agreement with Navidea, Siemens' PETNET Solutions will initially manufacture NAV4694 clinical trial material at select U.S. radiopharmacies, with the possibility of expanding into additional Siemens' PETNET Solutions locations next year.
"We are delighted that the NAV4694 clinical program will be supported by Siemens' PETNET Solutions' extensive PET manufacturing and dispensing expertise," said Mark Pykett, CEO of Navidea. "Navidea is committed to providing the medical community and patients afflicted by Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease and other neurodegenerative disorders with valuable precision diagnostics that ensure the best patient outcome including improved diagnostic accuracy, clinical decision-making and patient care."
"Siemens' PETNET Solutions is proud to collaborate with Navidea, a leading biopharmaceutical company, to support the availability of new PET imaging agents with our manufacturing expertise as the largest PET radiopharmaceutical manufacturer in the world," said Dr. Christoph Zindel, CEO of Siemens' PETNET Solutions. "Our collaboration with Navidea reaffirms our commitment to help fight the world's most challenging diseases, including Alzheimer's disease."
Siemens' PETNET Solutions operates the world's largest network of PET radiopharmaceutical drug manufacturing facilities and dispensing nuclear pharmacies, with over 50 locations worldwide. They manufacture and dispense PET radiopharmaceuticals for hospitals, clinics and research facilities worldwide.
About NAV4694 NAV4694 is a Fluorine-18 labeled precision radiopharmaceutical candidate intended for use in Positron Emission Tomography (PET) imaging and evaluation of patients with signs or symptoms of cognitive impairment such as Alzheimer's disease (AD). NAV4694 binds to beta-amyloid deposits in the brain that can then be imaged in scans. Beta-amyloid plaque pathology is widely used in the diagnosis of AD. The ability of NAV4694 imaging to display amyloid plaque pathology may enable earlier identification of AD and improve monitoring of disease progression and interpretation of brain scan images. Navidea has an ongoing NAV4694 Phase 2b trial in Mild Cognitive Impairment and a Phase 3 program for NAV4694 in AD.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

Nano Labs Unveils Natural Insect Control In Innovative Paint Coating
DETROIT, Nov. 19, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Nano Labs Corp. (OTCBB:CTLE) is pleased to announce the development of a next-generation nano-coating specifically designed as an anti-insect paint that repels insects and other arthropods, hinders their feeding and reproduction, and reduces their presence and proliferation.
The innovative coating presents an alternative to the use of chemical pesticides and insecticides to control and eliminate insects or other arthropods.
The nano paint coating uses natural minerals as a mechanical exterminator that hinders, repels, and kills insects physically. At the micro- and nano- particle level, the natural minerals effect on insects is enhanced and effectively acts as an abrasive and desiccant, which kills insects by removing the protective layer that covers their bodies, essentially making them dry up and die.
The new nano coating is effective on ants, aphids, cockroaches, mosquitos, spiders, termites, ticks and certain other types of pests and vermin, while neither affecting the health of people, pets or livestock, nor harming the environment. Furthermore, the paint coating embraces high-quality traditional paint characteristics that include high brightness, high covering capacity, good light scattering performance, good suspension capacity, good covering, high durability and easy dispersing performance. "Our new anti-insect paint can be applied on almost every interior and exterior surface - from houses to farms, offices and government buildings, to transportation facilities and vehicles, through to health clinics and hospitals," states Dr. Castano, Chief Innovations Officer at Nano Labs. "It kills pests that can carry disease or parasites upon contact, which can bring incredible change to many parts of the world suffering from disease and parasites carried by insects. We have conducted very successful tests in Mexico with Atencio & Atencio and DIASA, a real estate development firm constructing homes in the northern state of Tamaulipas, next to the Gulf of Mexico, a tropical-like environment, where biting insects transmit poison, disease and parasites that may result in death. Traditional, and so far unsuccessful, solutions have included nets, sprays, or fumigations as control mechanisms. We are continuing to test in disease control programs but our experimental developments are proving very positive."Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

RM Auctions sold a small contingent of seven classic Corvettes at their Monterey sale held August 12-14th at the Portola Hotel and Spa. The seven Corvettes ranging from 1953-1963 brought in $789,250 in total Corvette sales.
DD in CA submitted this 1958 Corvette to Corvette Values:
1958 Corvette, VIN J58S102XXX. Non-original 327 ci V8 dual carb with estimated 245-270 hp, 4-speed transmission and 75,000 original miles. Red/White with Red vinyl interior. Options include factory seatbelts, wheels and hubcaps, AM Wonderbar radio and auxiliary hard top. Fiberglass crack in front fender, scratches on trunk hood. No documentation but owner history is available.
Find out how we valued this Corvette after the jump.
When Lance Miller set out to return the #3 Briggs Cunningham 1960 Corvette and its driver John Fitch to Le Mans for the 50th anniversary of the cars win, he was accompanied by Corvette collector and documentary filmmaker Michael Brown who captured the experience in HD. A fall release of the feature-length documentary as well as a book are expected. While we wait, a trailer of the coming film has been released.
Noted Corvette collector and baseball legend Reggie Jackson will be offering four Corvettes at the Mecum at Monterey auction on August 13-14th at the Hyatt Regency Monterey Hotel and Spa. The four cars include two 1967 L68 427/400 Corvettes and two straight axle C1s. The Corvettes are part of Jackson's 16-car sale at the Monterey auction.
Terry Michaelis of ProTeam Corvette compiled a great listing of the ten most significant Corvettes that sold during the last decade. Terry would know, having personally bought and sold more Corvettes than just about anybody else during that time frame. Check out his list and then I'll chime in with two sales that deserve recognition.
Next up in our Countdown to Monterey series is this 1953 Corvette Roadster from the estate of noted collector John O'Quinn. O'Quinn died in a traffic accident and RM Auctions has been charged with liquidating much of his collection which includes several unique and rare Corvettes. It's been a while since we've seen a quality first year Corvette at an auction, but RM Auctions is sure to have a winner with Lot #239, this stunning 1953 Corvette Roadster #199.
The Classic Corvette Club UK held their 30th Anniversary Nationals show recently and corvette owners turned out to display a variety of the classic American sports car from all generations. Like most shows, participants entered Corvettes ranging from stock through modified, race cars and recreations. Some of the customs are very well done and so we thought a pictorial feature would be nice to show what our brothers and sisters from across the pond are doing to their Corvettes.
As we all know by now, this year's 24 Hours of Le Mans marked Corvette's 50th Anniversary of racing in the world's most prestigious sports car race. Earlier this year, Chevy introduced the one of one 2011 Corvette Z06 Le Mans 50th Anniversary edition to celebrate the achievement. At this year's Anniversary Celebration at the Museum, the White with Blue Corvette Z06 will be united with one of the Corvettes that started it all – the 1960 #3 Briggs Cunningham Corvette owned by Lance Miller.
Here is a neat video package from WKYC that profiles Molded Fiberglass Companies based in Ashtabula, Ohio. MFG was founded in 1948 by Robert Morrison who initially was using glass reinforced plastic to make shelves for Wonder Bread. Morrison recognized the many benefits of fiberglass and made several attempts to convince GM that it was suitable for automotive bodies. In 1953 following the introduction of the Corvette at the Motorama show in New York City, GM gave MFG the contract to build the bodies for the Corvette.

It's Crazy to Ask Kids to Eat New Foods Until They Already Like It
It can take toddlers 10-14 times of tasting a new food before they'll like it.
Everyone knows this, right? And it can take picky eaters even longer.
Getting to the magic number can be a real challenge. That's why most parents give up on a new food after serving it 4 times.
So here's the question: If it's pretty much guaranteed that your child won't like a new food until the 10th time he has tasted it, why would he eat the food on tries 1, 2, 3, 4...?
Kids won't eat food they don't like.So this is straight math/logic.
- Taste 1: Food rejected. Don't like. Won't eat it.
- Taste 2: Food rejected. Don't like. Won't eat it.
- Taste 3: Food rejected. Don't like. Won't eat it.
- Taste 4: Food rejected. Don't like. Won't eat it.
- Parent gives up.
Expecting kids to eat a food during the phase where they're just getting used to it is crazy. And the crazy is on us.
Mixing up tasting and eating is the problem.
During the "getting used to it" phase, kids should only be asked to taste a new food. One bite. One tiny bite. With NO expectation that they'll eat it.
In the research that investigates how long it takes before kids will accept new foods, they rarely (if ever) ask the children to EAT the food. They simply give them a pea-sized sample to taste. And that's what parents have to do.
Say, "If you don't like it, you don't have to eat it," or the modern equivalent, "Just take a 'no thank you bite'" and you'll be dead in the water.
"If you don't like it, you don't have to eat it," sets up the expectation that your child will have to eat it if he likes it. This is implied pressure and it makes reluctant kids reject the new food even before they've tasted it.
I know this doesn't make sense to parents, who think "Kids will want to eat food they like," but it doesn't work that way. Kids have lots of reasons for refusing food. Making your life miserable is one of them!
And a "No thank you bite" just primes kids to politely say "no thank you" when they reject the food. In fact, it primes them to think, "No thank you" before they even take that bite.
The problem is that we don't know which taste will be the magic taste. Is it taste #5, taste #8, or taste #42?
Some kids like a new food earlier than other kids. And some foods are easier to like than others. But since you can't know which tasting attempt will produce the winner, the only thing you can do is continue to offer tastes.
And the only way to offer tastes without making yourself crazy is to completely separate tasting from eating.
In other words, unless you have already grown a good taster, never push the issue of eating a new food. Otherwise you'll end up in a control struggle. And you'll probably end up throwing out a lot of food.
- Always put something on the table you can reasonably expect your child to eat.
- Offer tastes of food on a separate plate if your child is overly protective and scared.
- Find opportunities away from the table to encourage exploration: At the grocery store, when you're cooking, when you're eating, when you're at the park!
When parents lower their expectations around new foods, kids do better.
Learning to taste new food is a skill children have to learn. For more on this topic read Unleash Your Toddler's Inner Food Critic and Nix the Negativity.

Iran on Tuesday rejected as "unacceptable" a demand by U.S. President Barack Obama that Tehran freeze its sensitive nuclear activities for at least 10 years, the semi-official Fars news agency reported. "Obama's stance ... is expressed in unacceptable and threatening phrases ... Iran will not accept excessive and illogical demands," Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif was quoted as saying by Fars. "Tehran will continue nuclear negotiations with the six powers," he added. In an interview with Reuters on Monday, Obama said Iran must commit to a verifiable halt of at least 10 years on sensitive nuclear work for a landmark atomic deal to be reached between Tehran and six major powers.

Language Model Applications to Spelling with Brain-Computer Interfaces
Received: 23 December 2013 / Revised: 17 February 2014 / Accepted: 24 February 2014 / Published: 26 March 2014
(This article belongs to the Special Issue Ambient Assisted Living (AAL): Sensors, Architectures and Applications)
Abstract: Within the Ambient Assisted Living (AAL) community, Brain-Computer Interfaces (BCIs) have raised great hopes as they provide alternative communication means for persons with disabilities bypassing the need for speech and other motor activities. Although significant advancements have been realized in the last decade, applications of language models (e.g., word prediction, completion) have only recently started to appear in BCI systems. The main goal of this article is to review the language model applications that supplement non-invasive BCI-based communication systems by discussing their potential and limitations, and to discern future trends. First, a brief overview of the most prominent BCI spelling systems is given, followed by an in-depth discussion of the language models applied to them. These language models are classified according to their functionality in the context of BCI-based spelling: the static/dynamic nature of the user interface, the use of error correction and predictive spelling, and the potential to improve their classification performance by using language models. To conclude, the review offers an overview of the advantages and challenges when implementing language models in BCI-based communication systems when implemented in conjunction with other AAL technologies.

(Page 2 of 2)
Mr. Mills said that if most students were passing the revised Regents exams, it was only because they were working harder. But New York's results contrast sharply with testing data from some other states that have raised standards. Failure rates are rising in some states, including Massachusetts and Virginia, and several have eased their graduation requirements in the face of political and parental pressure.
In New York State, where Mr. Mills has pushed unremittingly for higher standards, the stakes are high. Critics predicted that dropout rates would sharply increase if all students, including those in special education and those with limited English skills, had to take the Regents exams. Schools, too, have much to lose: Mr. Mills recently announced that they would be publicly graded -- and rewarded or punished -- according to their test scores.
New York lowered the passing grade on Regents exams to 55 out of 100, from 65, for the first few years that the revised tests are given. Ms. DeFabio warned that the failure rate could rise significantly once the passing grade is raised to 65, starting in 2004. She also said that students were taking longer to finish the new exams -- a sign that they were more challenging -- and that both exams had been field-tested on several thousand students around the state.
''As we move along and students get better at the skills being tested, we can use more sophisticated material,'' Ms. DeFabio said, ''and ask more probing questions that require more rigorous analysis.''
Ms. DeFabio defended the state's decision to focus less on testing factual knowledge, and more on what she called ''higher-level thinking skills.''
''You want to know not just whether they've memorized facts,'' she said, ''but whether they can read information from a variety of sources, understand the differences in perspective and then do their own analysis.''
That is all very well, teachers say, but the real problem is the state's system for grading the essays.
For an essay in the global history exam about human rights violations, for example, the scoring key directed teachers to give a 2 to an essay that ''provides a weak definition of the term 'human rights,' '' and ''is a poorly organized essay, lacking focus.'' For another essay, students were asked to describe how capitalism and communism ''attempt to meet the needs of the people,'' and to evaluate how successful each system has been. But a student could earn a 3 by merely repeating quotations about the two systems given in a previous section of the test.
''The only way you could wipe out on the essays was if you left the pages blank,'' said Ms. Swerdlow, the social studies teacher at Roosevelt High School in Brooklyn. ''I was giving 3's to essays that I considered to have a significant number of inaccuracies, because that's what the scoring rubric told us to do.''
Students who score a 3 on both essays and get all of the short-answer questions right need to get only 15 of a possible 50 points on the multiple-choice questions to pass.
Ms. Swerdlow and other teachers said the lenient scoring on the new exams would allow teachers and students to be less diligent. Meryl Tisch, a member of the State Board of Regents, said teachers complaining about the new tests might have unrealistic expectations. She pointed out that the state permitted schools to substitute other tests, such as the Advanced Placement exams, if they considered the Regents too easy.
But Robert B. Schwartz, president of Achieve, a group monitoring the standards movement, said he would not be surprised if New York and other states decided their new tests and scoring systems needed work.
''Every state that does this needs to make some educated guesses about where to set the bar, and it's possible that New York has initially set it too low,'' Mr. Schwartz said. ''People are going to have to take the view that we will need to make mid-course corrections in almost every aspect of this work.''
A CLOSER LOOK: New Regents Exams: Harder to Fail?
Teachers say New York State's scoring system for the new Regents exams is too lenient because it allows students to pass even if they do extremely poorly on the essay sections. The student whose essay on the global history and geography exam is printed below, for example, received no credit for it, but still managed to pass the test with a 57. Instead of following the instructions, the student wrote lyrics from a punk rock song.
The Question
''Throughout history, the human rights of certain groups of people have been violated. Efforts have been made to address these violations. Define the term 'human rights.' Identify two examples of human rights violations that have occurred in a specific time and place. Describe the causes of these human rights violations. For one of the violations identified, discuss one specific effort that was made or is being made to deal with the violation.''
The Answer
Perfect Government
Even if it's easy to be free, what's your definition of freedom? And who the [expletive] are you, anyway, who the [expletive] are they, who the [expletive] am I to say, what the [expletive] is really going on? How did the cat get so fat? Why do the families die? Do you care why? Because there hasn't been a sign of anything getting better in the ghetto, people are fed up, but when they get up you point your little finger, you racist, you bigot, but that's not your problem now, is it? You love to watch the war from the White House, and I wonder -- how can they sleep at night?
Baby, they would sooner plate your chains with gold, encrust your shackles with diamonds, and drape your cage with a velvet curtain before they could tell you that you are free with a straight face.

Generalists and specialists use different cues to find their habitat and essential resources. While generalists have the advantage of exploiting a wider range of resources, they are predicted to be less efficient in using one particular resource compared to specialists. The level of specialization of parasitoids can be either at the habitat or at the host level; strategies used by either type are expected to differ. We examined interactions between three aphid parasitoid species that are a habitat specialist Aphidius rhopalosiphi, a habitat generalist Aphidius ervi, and a host generalist Praon volucre on three cereal aphids, Sitobion avenae, Metopolophium dirhodum and Rhopalosiphum padi. We compared total parasitism rate across behavioral and physiological variation in a non-choice test. Next, we addressed total parasitism in two phases to examine: (1) the response of parasitoids to different hosts through the behavioral sequence from antennation through oviposition, and (2) the physiological suitability of different hosts for oviposition and larval development. Parasitization typically involved the following behavioral steps: (1) antennal contact, (2) abdominal bending, and (3) ovipositor insertion (acceptance). A. rhopalosiphi had the same number of antennal contacts with the three aphids but showed fewer instances of abdominal bending towards R. padi. Pre-contact host preference was found for A. ervi but it did not correspond to the level of acceptance. The number of antennal contacts by P. volucre corresponded to the parasitization level of the aphid species but more mummies were produced on M. dirhodum than on R. padi. These results suggest that parasitoid species that are habitat specialists react similarly to the different host species present in the same habitat, whereas generalist species exhibit clear preferences during host selection. Preferences were, however, not always related to host suitability.

For the first time, the Ontario Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (OSPCA) is tracking how many calls they receive about pets left in hot cars.
According to their investigation communication officer, Brad Dewar, they've received an average of 20 calls per day from central Ontario. This number is based on the calls to their 24-hour line, over the last five weeks.
Their call centre launched earlier this year at 310 – SPCA (7722) and can be used for any concerns within the province.
Dewar said it's an important issue that needs to be addressed since a little bit of heat can do a lot of damage. "We're only talking a difference in body temperature of 2-3 degrees, which doesn't seem like much but for an animal, it's the difference of it being healthy to dying," he said.

text: The The Trap is Sprung wiki last edited by pikahyper on 01/30/15 02:01PM View full history Daredevil continues to battle the Owl in his Owl Airie despite an impending volcanic eruption. With this situation heating up quite literally, will Daredevil be able to escape with his life? The Owl sharpens his beak when he unleashes an owl robot on DD and Judge Lewis!Daredevil is trapped by the Owl in a cage that is hanging over a seemingly bottomless pit. The Owl flicks a switch that releases the base of the cage and Matt is left holding on the bars of the cage to prevent himself falling to his death. The Owl then heats up the bars, forcing Daredevil to let go. However, the villain has forgotten to take the man without fear's billy club away and Matt is able to swing to safety.As parts of masonry begin to fall from the Aerie's ceiling, Daredevil chases the Owl who leads the hero to the 'Forbidden Chamber'. Before Daredevil can reach the room, a hitherto unknown volcano erupts on the island. When Daredevil does reach the Forbidden Chamber he is met by a gigantic metal Owl.The Owl makes his metal pet chase Daredevil around the room until Matt flings his billy club at the Owl and stuns him. The volcano is now beginning to destroy the Owl's Aerie so both villain and hero grab the metal bird's claws, hoping that it will fly them out of harm's way. The Owl tries to stamp on Daredevil's hands, so that he loses grip and falls. However Daredevil manages to hold on, whilst the Owl lets go and glides to safety.Daredevil somehow manoeuvres the metal bird to pick up Judge Lewis, as lava falls all around him and they too escape the disintegrating island.
