José Antonio Domínguez Banderas (born 10 August 1960), better known as Antonio Banderas, is a Spanish film actor, film director, film producer and singer. He began his acting career with a series of films by director Pedro Almodóvar and then appeared in high-profile Hollywood movies, especially in the 1990s, including Assassins, Evita, Interview with the Vampire, Philadelphia, Desperado, The Mask of Zorro and Spy Kids. Banderas is also a voice artist, portraying the voice of Puss in Boots in the Shrek sequels and Puss in Boots as well as the bee in the US Nasonex commercials.
Banderas was born José Antonio Domínguez Banderas in Benalmádena, Málaga, Andalucía, Spain, on 10 August 1960, to Ana Banderas Gallego, a school teacher, and José Domínguez, a police officer in the Guardia Civil.[1][2] He has a younger brother, Javier. Although the family name is Domínguez, he took his mother's last name as his stage name.[3] As a child, he wanted to become a professional football player until a broken foot sidelined his dreams at the age of fourteen. He showed a strong interest in the performing arts and formed part of the ARA Theatre-School ran by Ángeles Rubio-Argüelles y Alessandri (wife of diplomat, writer and film director Edgar Neville) and the College of Dramatic Art, both in Málaga. His work in the theater, and his performances on the streets, eventually landed him a spot with the Spanish National Theatre.[4]
Banderas began working in small theatres during Spain's post-dictatorial cultural movement known as the 'Movida'.[5] While performing with the theatre, Banderas caught the attention of Spanish director Pedro Almodóvar, who cast the young actor in his 1982 movie debut Labyrinth of Passion. Five years later, he went on to appear in the director's Law of Desire, making headlines with his performance as a gay man, which required him to engage in his first male-to-male onscreen kiss. After Banderas appeared in Almodóvar's 1986 Matador, the director cast him in his internationally acclaimed 1988 film, Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown. The recognition Banderas gained for his role increased two years later when he starred in Almodóvar's controversial Tie Me Up! Tie Me Down! as a mental patient who kidnaps a porn star (Victoria Abril) and keeps her tied up until she returns his love.[4] It was his breakthrough role in Tie Me Up! Tie Me Down!, that helped spur him on to Hollywood.[6] Banderas' having become a regular feature of Almodóvar's movies all throughout the 1980s, Almodóvar is credited for helping launch Banderas's international career.[7]
In 1991, Madonna introduced Banderas to Hollywood in Truth or Dare. In the movie, Madonna says that she wants to seduce Banderas, even though she knows he is married. The following year, still speaking minimal English, he began acting in U.S. films. Despite having to learn all his lines phonetically, Banderas still managed to turn in a critically praised performance as a struggling musician in his first American drama film, The Mambo Kings (1992).[citation needed]
Banderas then broke through to mainstream American audiences in the film, Philadelphia (1993), as the gay lover of AIDS-afflicted lawyer Andrew Beckett (Tom Hanks). The film's success earned Banderas wide recognition, and the following year he was given a role in Neil Jordan's high-profile adaptation of Anne Rice's Interview with the Vampire, sharing the screen with Brad Pitt.[4]
He appeared in several major Hollywood releases in 1995, including a starring role in the Robert Rodriguez-directed film Desperado and the antagonist on the action film Assassins, co-starred with Sylvester Stallone. In 1996, he starred alongside Madonna in Evita, an adaptation of the musical by Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice in which he played the narrator, Che, a role played by David Essex in the original 1978 West End production. He also made success with his role as the legendary masked swordsman Zorro in the 1998 film The Mask of Zorro.[citation needed]
In 2001, he collaborated with Robert Rodriguez who cast him in the Spy Kids film trilogy. He also starred in Michael Cristofer's Original Sin alongside Angelina Jolie the same year. In 2002, he starred in Brian De Palma's Femme Fatale opposite Rebecca Romijn-Stamos and in Julie Taymor's Frida with Salma Hayek. In 2003, he starred in the last installment of the trilogy Once Upon A Time In Mexico (in which he appeared with Johnny Depp and Salma Hayek). Banderas' debut as a director was the poorly received Crazy in Alabama (1999), starring his wife Melanie Griffith.[8]
In 2003, he returned to the musical genre, appearing to great acclaim in the Broadway revival of Maury Yeston's musical Nine, based on the film 8½, playing the prime role originated by Raúl Juliá. Banderas won both the Outer Critics Circle and Drama Desk awards, and won the Tony Award for best actor in a musical.[9] His performance is preserved on the Broadway cast recording released by PS Classics. The following year (2004), he received the Rita Moreno HOLA Award for Excellence from the Hispanic Organization of Latin Actors (HOLA).[citation needed]
Banderas' voice role as "Puss in Boots" in Shrek 2, Shrek the Third, and the last film in the Shrek franchise, Shrek Forever After, helped make the character popular on the family film circuit. In 2005, he reprised his role as Zorro in The Legend of Zorro, though this was not as successful as The Mask of Zorro. In 2006, he starred in Take the Lead, a high-set movie in which he played a ballroom dancing teacher. That year, he directed his second film El camino de los ingleses (English title: Summer Rain), and also received the L.A. Latino International Film Festival's "Gabi" Lifetime Achievement Award on 14 October.[10]
He received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame on 6801 Hollywood Blvd. in 2005.[citation needed]
In 2011, the horror thriller The Skin I Live In marked the return of Banderas to Pedro Almodóvar, the Spanish director who launched his international career. The two had not worked together since 1990 (Tie Me Up! Tie Me Down!). In The Skin I Live In he breaks out of the "Latin Lover" mold from his Hollywood work and stars as a calculating revenge-seeking plastic surgeon following the rape of his daughter. According to the Associated Press Banderas' performance is among his strongest in recent memory.[7] He again lent his voice to Puss in Boots, this time as the protagonist of the Shrek spin-off family film, Puss in Boots. This film reunited Banderas with Salma Hayek for the sixth time.[11]
He has invested some of his film earnings in Andalusian products, which he promotes in Spain and the US. He owns 50% of a winery in Villalba de Duero, Burgos, Spain, called Anta Banderas, which produces red and rosé wines.[12]
He performed a voice-over for a computer-animated bee which can be seen in the United States in television commercials for Nasonex,[13] an allergy medication, and was seen in the 2007 Christmas advertising campaign for Marks & Spencer, a British retailer.[14]
He is a veteran of the perfume industry. The actor has been working with fragrance and beauty multinational company Puig for over ten years becoming one of the brand's most successful representatives. Banderas and Puig have successfully promoted a number of fragrances so far – Diavolo, Diavolo for Women, Mediterraneo, Spirit, and Spirit for Women. After the success of Antonio for Men and Blue Seduction for Men in 2007, launched his latest Blue Seduction for Women the following year.[15]
Banderas married his first wife, Ana Leza, on 27 July 1987. They separated in May 1995 when he began a relationship with actress Melanie Griffith while shooting Two Much.[5][16] Banderas and Leza divorced in April 1996, and one month later, on 14 May 1996, he married Griffith in a private, low-key ceremony in London.[5] They have a daughter, Stella Banderas, who appeared onscreen with Griffith in Banderas' directorial debut, Crazy in Alabama (1999). In 2002, the couple's dedication to philanthropy was recognized when they received the 'Stella Adler Angel Award' for their extensive charity work.[5] Griffith has a tattoo of Banderas' first name encircled in a heart on her right shoulder.[17]
In June 2014, Griffith and Banderas released a statement announcing their intention to divorce "in a loving and friendly manner".[18] According to the petition filed in the Los Angeles Superior Court, the couple had "irreconcilable differences" that led to the divorce. [19]
In 1996, Banderas appeared among other figures of Spanish culture in a video supporting the Spanish Socialist Workers' Party lists in the general election.[20]
In 2013, he called on Europe and the United States to emulate Hugo Chávez in Venezuela and nationalize big corporations as a solution to the global economic crisis.[21]
A longtime supporter of Málaga CF,[22] he is also an officer (mayordomo de trono) of a Roman Catholic religious brotherhood in Málaga and travels during Holy Week to take part in the processions,[23] although in an interview with People magazine, Banderas had once described himself as an agnostic.[24]
In May 2010, Banderas received his honorary doctorate from the University of Málaga in the city where he was born.[6]

Alphaviruses in Gene Therapy
Received: 2 April 2009 / Revised: 15 April 2009 / Accepted: 20 April 2009 / Published: 21 April 2009
(This article belongs to the Special Issue Novel Viral Vector Systems for Gene Therapy)
Abstract: Alphaviruses are enveloped single stranded RNA viruses, which as gene therapy vectors provide high-level transient gene expression. Semliki Forest virus (SFV), Sindbis virus (SIN) and Venezuelan Equine Encephalitis (VEE) virus have been engineered as efficient replication-deficient and -competent expression vectors. Alphavirus vectors have frequently been used as vehicles for tumor vaccine generation. Moreover, SFV and SIN vectors have been applied for intratumoral injections in animals implanted with tumor xenografts. SIN vectors have demonstrated natural tumor targeting, which might permit systemic vector administration. Another approach for systemic delivery of SFV has been to encapsulate replication-deficient viral particles in liposomes, which can provide passive targeting to tumors and allow repeated administration without host immune responses. This approach has demonstrated safe delivery of encapsulated SFV particles to melanoma and kidney carcinoma patients in a phase I trial. Finally, the prominent neurotropism of alphaviruses make them attractive for the treatment of CNS-related diseases.

I enjoyed the Gareth Edwards-directed Godzilla flick, but if you missed it you can pretty much catch all the major points by watching CineFix's latest installment of 8 Bit Cinema after the jump.
Oricon Style reports the top 5 titles for Japan's box office in the summer season of 2014 (late July to the end of August). As expected, Stand by Me Doraemon, the first 3DCG film based on the popular manga series created by Fujiko F. Fujio, tops the ranking with impressive 7-7.5 billion yen. Check the list after the jump.
Yusuke Murata, the artist of the Eyeshield 21 manga and more recently the highly regarded One-Punch Man, was having some fun on Twitter this week. In addition to live streaming his OPM work, he posted some corner doodles of Studio Ghibli cross-overs and his dream match-up of Godzilla versus Gamera (he also suggested that a GxGxG - Godzilla versus Gamera versus Gundam would be awesome). Get a look after the jump
To promote the new Hollywood Godzilla movie, the King of Kaiju has been installed at Tokyo Midtown's garden in the Roppongi district, former neighborhood of the Ministry of Defense. Extended to stay at the location through August 31st, the monster stands 6.6meters tall and with tail measures 108 meters long. darwinfish, best know as the 1/1 scale Gundam statue's unofficial videographer captured this visit. Get a look after the jump.
A Godzilla game was announced for PlayStation 3 back in June, and now it has a release date. The kaiju battle action game makes its debut in Japan on December 18, and you'll even be able to play as the most recent Hollywood incarnation of the King of the Monsters. More after the jump.
Just in time for the upcoming DVD and Blu-ray release of this summer's Godzilla flick, a new marketing site has emerged where you can have the satisfaction of seeing the King of the Monsters pulverize any address you care to enter. Give it a shot after the jump!
Jokes about the kaiju's overweight appearance didn't stop Japanese movie goers from buying tickets to the Gareth Edwards' Hollywood retelling of Godzilla, which finally opened in the lizard's homeland last weekend. More after the jump.
Legendary Entertainment announced plans for the follow-up to this year's Hollywood Godzilla at San Diego Comic-Con. There's going plenty of returning faces for the project, scheduled to hit theaters December 16, 2016. While director Gareth Edwards couldn't make the event due to his commitments working on a Star Wars spin-off, he will be helming this next Godzilla. More after the jump.
Nihon Eiga Senmon Channel (Japanese Movie Specialty Channel) has announced the top 4 result of its "Godzilla General Election" to choose the best film from the 28 Japanese-made Godzilla films. As expected, Kazuki Omori's 1989 film Godzilla vs. Biollante was the most favorite film among the modern fans. Hit the jump for more.
The Japan Times has posted a 90-second video report of a 6.6 meter tall replica Godzilla at Tokyo Midtown Garden on its official YouTube channel. The statue was build to celebrate the franchise's 60th anniversary and to promote the upcoming Gareth Edwards-directed American film. Check the report after the jump.
Celebrating 40 years of Big Comic Original as well as 60 years of Godzilla, and leading into the July 25th Japanese release of the new Hollywood Godzilla, the works of 21 industry greats such as Rumiko Takahashi (InuYasha) and Naoki Urasawa (Monster, 20th Century Boys) have been collected in a special manga tribute to the King of Kaiju. Get a look after the jump.

Oh Hello
So If I told you that I am afraid of scary movies and don't like hot sauce would that be a deal breaker. Even with growing up in Southern California, I somehow can't get past the battle with hot sauce. Some people have smoking, some can't sing in tune.. Me, the battle with hot sauce is on... and I am losing. I work for an athletic company that is based out of San Diego directing their eCommerce department. One of my favorite parts of the job is that I get to coach on the side and volunteer in the community. I'm a person who enjoys meeting new people all the time. I love to be outdoors and try new things all throughout the community. I'm honest, forgiving and love to have a good time. If you can make me laugh, I would be interested in speaking to you. Tell me what your idea of having fun is. I work all throughout the week so I try to pack the weekends with as much time for new things as possible.

Being fortunate enough to live in San Diego, I love being able to explore all around the city. I just moved next to Balboa Park so being able to head into the park is a plus. Besides that, a great ball game or being by the water is perfect.

Apologies if you think my statement was incorrect. I do not intend to spread false information. It was my understanding that the only FDA approved label change was just to ADD Infantile Spasms and that all the other indications were there before and were not changed.
My opinion (not fact) is that insurance companies will continue to examine closely reimbursement for indications that were approved by the FDA back in 1952 that they are now getting billed for due to the excellent marketing done by QCOR.

1 - a 501c3 charity - do I get to deduct the current market value at time of donation and when the charity sells the units do they end up paying the recapture tax OR do I only get to deduct the written down value of the units?
2 - my daughter who is in a much lower tax bracket (15% bracket) who then sells them and then pays the recapture tax at her lower tax rate. Related to this is what is the value of the gift (i.e., we want to give her our annual exclusion $28,000) - is it the current market value of the depreciated value?

Re the financing, I think the issue is a bit like that of VW and Porsche - minimizing the income tax burden - and I suspect they want to structure the deal in such a way that the former CEO (the acquirer) doesn't end up with a big tax bill by doing some carefully constructed tax-dodge (special purpose vehicle or ?).

Nelson Mandela: From the Eastern Cape to Soweto
Emma Gregg visits the memorials and landmarks that illustrate Nelson Mandela's astonishing life story
On a terrace with sweeping views of the sunbaked Mbashe valley, the Thembu chief of Mvezo is hosting a recruitment drive for his newly built traditional council centre. He's tall and immaculately groomed, with a presence and delivery that are startlingly familiar. Chief Zwelivelile, better known as Mandla, is unmistakably a Mandela.
Mvezo Komkhulu will feature a lodge and a museum of abaThembu heritage, Mandla tells me later. "Part of its purpose will be to celebrate the life of my grandfather, Nelson Mandela," he says. "Not his political career, since that's covered so well elsewhere, but the traditional customs and values which influenced him."
Nelson Mandela – named Rolihlahla, meaning troublemaker, by his father, Chief Gadla Mandela – was born in Mvezo in 1918. Until a couple of years ago, this tiny Eastern Cape village remained remote, impoverished and obscure, but Mandla's ambitious plans are changing that.
A new brick-paved road now leads from the N2 highway up to Mvezo Komkhulu, which will, he hopes, attract cultural tourists from all over the world. Beyond is the gleaming Nelson Mandela School of Science and Technology, built with funds from Siemens. The opening of a secondary school in this deeply rural region, where women scratch a subsistence living while their husbands labour in distant cities or mines, fulfils one of the late former president's lifelong dreams.
Mandla, who was born in the middle years of his grandfather's lengthy imprisonment, is Mandela's eldest living male descendant. His desire for his late father, uncle and aunt to be re-buried in their ancestral home of Mvezo made headlines last year. It's clear that for him this is just one part of the big picture. He's determined that Mvezo should claim its place in the network of heritage sites honouring the greatest leader Africa has ever produced.
Under apartheid, the country's cultural institutions recorded just one strand of this complex nation's history. But the first general elections where citizens of all races were allowed to vote took place 20 years ago – the anniversary will be celebrated on 27 April – and over the past two decades a new generation of curators, artists and sculptors have found their voice in some superb contemporary museums and installations.
Dotted along an informal route from Cape Town to Pretoria via Eastern Cape Province and KwaZulu-Natal are a growing number of sites dedicated to Mandela and his contemporaries. They include showy statues, like the new bronze of Mandela outside the Union Buildings in Pretoria; modest memorials, such as Steve Biko's humble grave in King William's Town; and heart-wrenching museums. By exploring independently and taking walking tours with local experts, you can piece together the story of Mandela's life, visiting places where he lived, worked, served out his 27-year prison sentence and made significant speeches.
Mvezo is one of a flurry of new stops on the Mandela trail. Mandla had hoped that his grandfather would live to witness its change in fortunes. "I always told him: 'You must make it to 100'," he says, "and he would reply: 'Just a day at a time'."

Visiting Eastern Cape Province gives you an inkling of the austerity of Rolihlahla Mandela's rural upbringing. In 1920, he and his mother moved from Mvezo to the larger but scarcely more prosperous village of Qunu, 18 miles away. It's a scattered settlement of rolling pastures, maize plots and Xhosa-style rondavels (huts) painted white, apricot or turquoise. In Long Walk to Freedom, Mandela wrote that he loved it "in the unconditional way that a child loves his first home".
His final resting place is here, in a private garden close to his 1990s homestead, which is by far the most substantial building around. It's not open to the public, but it attracts endless attention. As I pause at the entrance, a steady stream of people drive up and jump out to grab a selfie outside the gates.
I visit the Nelson Mandela Museum conference centre and lodge which overlooks Qunu. A curator, pleased to show me around, takes me to the sloping rock which Rolihlahla and his mates used as a slide. Its granite surface, polished by generations of young backsides, shines in the weak morning sun. A scamper away is the site of the primary school where Rolihlahla's teacher, Miss Mdingane, following the custom of the time, gave him an Anglicised name: Nelson.
Qunu was just one of Mandela's childhood homes. He spent most of his youth in Mqhekezweni, a little-known village six miles away, in the care of a relative, Chief Jongintaba Dalindyebo. Jongintaba's compound was recently declared a heritage site, but remains surprisingly low-key.
Jongintaba used to hold community meetings under Mqhekezweni's distinctive circle of gum trees. This shady spot is still used for the same purpose, and as my South African driver, Sisa, and I approach, a gathering is in progress. We're led, discreetly, to the back of the grassy compound, where the hut that Nelson shared with his cousin, Justice, has been preserved. It's a bare room with a couple of beds and a book case.
As we glance out, the doorway frames a view of the assembly. I imagine the two youngsters slipping out to sit on the fringes of similar gatherings, observing Jongintaba's skill as a decision-maker. For Sisa, a penny seems to drop. "So this is where it all came from," he says. "This is important. More people should know about this." He's even more impressed when, at the gate, we meet Justice's elderly widow, Nozolile, who helps look after the site. "Madiba always had a childlike spirit," she says. "He loved to tell stories of the old days, when he was just an ordinary boy growing up in a small village."
'Release' sculpture near Howick ((Emma Gregg www.emmagregg.com) Some points on the Mandela trail celebrate the great man through public art. Marco Cianfanelli's intriguing sculpture Release marks The Capture Site near Howick, the spot where Mandela was arrested in 1962. From a distance, it appears abstract, a cluster of nibbled-looking black metal poles. But as I walk towards it, the poles resolve into a portrait of Mandela in profile. And when I raise my camera to my eye, I discover a magical twist – it's only when viewed through a lens that it really snaps together. In a satisfying reminder of the fragile dynamic between record and reality, the screen of a smartphone renders it perfectly. Another work, The Voting Line by Anthony Harris and Konrad Geel, commemorates the 1994 elections with a long, winding line of cut-out figures leading to a triumphant silhouette of Mandela. I find it near the top of Route 67, a contemporary art trail leading through Port Elizabeth. This rough-edged city played a pivotal role in the anti-apartheid struggle. In 2001, its municipality was renamed Nelson Mandela Bay.
Controversially, Cape Town has been slow to create a fitting, lasting tribute to Mandela. Perhaps the city's guilt over holding him captive is still too much to bear. Even so, there are plenty of historic spots to explore in and around the city. Robben Island, where Mandela served 18 of those 27 years behind bars, was one of the first of the post-apartheid museums. Tours are led by ex-inmates who still remember his presence. They're so popular that the experience tends to be crowded and rushed, but nothing can detract from the emotional punch of staring through the bars of the great man's cell, barely large enough to lie down in.
Shaheed Ebrahim of local tour company Escape to the Cape is considering creating a Mandela-themed itinerary. He held back during the great man's lengthy illness for fear of appearing to be cashing in. Alongside Robben Island, he'd like to include the former Victor Verster Prison near Paarl, where Mandela served the last months of his sentence. "It would be fascinating to meet the guards who prepared him for life outside prison," he says. "They taught him things we take for granted, like how to work a microwave. The first time he saw one, he mistook it for a television."
For completeness, you could also visit Pollsmoor, the notorious high-security prison where Mandela spent six years. There's a restaurant here, a rehabilitation project for ex-offenders, which serves some of the best-value curry for miles.
In central Cape Town, walking tour guide Ivor Shaskolsky, of Footsteps to Freedom, has a plan worked out. He shows me the hunk of the Berlin Wall which Mandela received as a gift, takes me to City Hall, where he delivered his first speech after his release, and walks me past the Parliament Buildings. We end up at a public garden, where a gaggle of schoolchildren of every colour are larking about in the sunshine. "Scenes like this are surely Mandela's most poignant legacy," he says.
In Johannesburg and Soweto, where Mandela lived and worked as a lawyer, the echoes of his former presence are strongest of all. The Nelson Mandela Centre of Memory near his mansion in the leafy suburb of Houghton recently opened its extensive archives of documents, photographs and footage to the public. There is more at Liliesleaf, once the nerve centre of the liberation movement.
At Regina Mundi Church in Soweto, a volunteer guide leads me to the altar steps, turns me to face the pews and says: "You're now in the exact spot where Mandela stood to speak to the congregation in 1997, honouring them for their role in the Soweto Uprising of 1976." I gasp. The altar and interior still bear the scars of the gunfire that erupted when armed police pursued student demonstrators into the building.
Later, I visit 8115 Orlando West, Vilakazi Street, the little bungalow which Mandela shared with his first wife, Evelyn, and his second, Winnie. A museum since 1996, it contains few truly personal possessions, but simply stepping inside feels like an intimate privilege. In Johannesburg, I pore over handwritten letters in Mandela's cell on Constitution Hill and absorb biographical details of Mandela the activist and politician at the award-winning Apartheid Museum. Its main exhibition is so powerful it leaves visitors reeling or, like me, sobbing.
The latest generation of cultural guides were still at school when Mandela was released. Jo Buitendach, of Past Experiences, leads fascinating tours through Mandela's old haunts in Johannesburg, whose inner city is regenerating so rapidly that the images on Google Street View, shot in 2010, look startlingly out of date.
"Things may be changing fast, but there are still people here who met Mandela in person," she says, "and some of the stories we tell come directly from them. Yes, he will always be an icon. But he was also utterly human, and that's what we want to remember."

News Release
TRENTON, N.J. -- After a disaster, a lot happens—some things more quickly than others. One thing that is consistent is there are a number of assistance programs that disaster survivors can apply for and there are insurance claims to be made.
You may first seek assistance from insurance. But you may find that insurance does not cover everything. Unfortunately, you may find this out months later when other options for funding, such as Small Business Administration disaster loans, may no longer be available.
January 29, 2013
News Release
TRENTON, N.J. – The disaster recovery centers at Bergen County Plaza in Hackensack and Hoboken City Hall will close Thursday, Jan. 31, at 7 p.m.
State and federal officials have been paying close attention to how many applicants are visiting centers throughout the state. Over the past weeks, the number of individuals seeking help at the Hackensack and Hoboken centers has dropped, indicating the information needs of survivors in the area have mostly been met.
January 28, 2013
News Release
TRENTON, N.J. -- Getting free advice on how to repair or rebuild your home to minimize future disaster damage is as easy as visiting your local home improvement store. Specialists from the Federal Emergency Management Agency will offer their expertise on building techniques that can help protect your home, business or other property.

News Release
Deadline for Hurricane Sandy Assistance Extended to March 1
TRENTON, N.J. — Hurricane Sandy survivors now have until March 1 to register for disaster assistance from the Federal Emergency Management Agency.
FEMA can provide money to homeowners to repair uninsured damage to essential living areas. Also, homeowners and renters may receive money to replace essential personal property.
January 26, 2013
News Release
TRENTON, N.J. -- While New Jersey survivors of Hurricane Sandy have until March 1 to register with the Federal Emergency Management Agency for disaster assistance, more than $780 million in disaster assistance has been approved to speed recovery.
January 25, 2013
News Release
TRENTON, N.J. -- For many New Jersey homeowners, rebuilding after Hurricane Sandy will mean meeting a higher standard – literally.
Communities up and down the Jersey coast are reviewing new advisory base flood elevation maps published in December by the Federal Emergency Management Agency. The maps show how high buildings should be elevated to minimize damage from future flooding.
Building higher means higher costs, but federal resources may be available to help with the additional expense.

text: An airliner skidded off a runway at New York's La Guardia airport and slid to a halt just yards from frigid waters, as a snow storm battered the US coast from Texas to Boston. Heavy snow was falling as Delta flight 1086 from Atlanta careered off the runway, plowed up an embankment and demolished a fence after its late-morning landing in hazardous conditions. New York firefighters said 24 people suffered non-life-threatening injuries, including three who were transported from the scene. The McDonnell Douglas MD-88 was carrying 127 passengers and five crew.


text: The project of specifying substances had several important consequences. In order to establish and display the laws of stoichiometry, Berzelius invented and perfected more exacting standards and techniques of analysis. His generalization of the older acid/base chemistry led him to extend chemical nomenclature that Lavoisier had introduced to cover the bases (mostly metallic oxides), a change that allowed Berzelius to name any compound consistently with Lavoisier's chemistry. For this purpose, he bypassed the French names that Lavoisier and his colleagues had devised as well as their translations into Swedish introduced by Berzelius's colleagues at Uppsala, Pehr Afzelius ...

Data from the 711-patient international Phase III trial showed the drug did not significantly relieve the symptoms of diarrhoea-predominant IBS (IBS-D), including pain/discomfort or change in severity of pain. Although the study did suggest Rezular had benefits in a number of secondary endpoints relating to stool frequency, stool form, and some quality-of-life scores, AGI said it didn't believe the drug would meet regulatory requirements as an effective therapy for the broad IBS-D population.
The company's CEO, John Devane Ph.D., notes that while AGI is disappointed with results, it would not be a prudent use of resources to continue development of Rezular as a treatment for IBS-D. "A safe and effective therapy for patients with IBS-D remains elusive. We will now focus on prioritizing our pipeline and plan how best to move these forward."
AGI incurred a net loss of $18.2 million in 2008. With an R&D spend of some $15.9 million, the firm had cash and short-term deposits of $23.6 million at the end of 2008 compared with $45.5 million at the end of 2007.
AGI is focused on the development and commercialization of differentiated drug products for gastrointestinal (GI) diseases and disorders. The company's clinical/preclinical pipeline includes drug candidates developed as either isomers or new drug delivery formulations of existing approved drugs with established safety and tolerability profiles in their currently approved clinical indications.
The disappointing Rezular data follow just weeks after AGI reported positive results from a proof-of-concept Phase II trial with AGI-004, a controlled release transdermal mecamylamine patch, in the treatment of chemotherapy-induced diarrhoea (CID).
Other clinical-stage products in the AGI pipeline include AGI-006, which contains the pure r-isomer form of the racemic CNS disorder drug, baclofen, and is in development for a number of GI and related conditions. The ulcerative colitis candidate AGI-022 is being developed as an improved, once-daily form of aminosalicylic acid (ASA), formulated in a colon-targeted delayed-release/controlled-release delivery system.
Both AGI-006 and AGI-002 have undergone initial proof-of-concept studies, but in April 2009 the company confirmed further development of the two candidates would be put on hold as it pushed Rezular through Phase III and commercialization.
AGI's final product is a preclinical-stage, modified-release formulation of the proton pump inhibitor drug (PPI), omeprazole, which is based on AGI's Chronab controlled-release technology. The company has partnered with Axcan Pharma to develop AGI-010 jointly for North American markets as a treatment for night-time acid breakthrough in gastro esophegeal reflux disease (GERD).

Aisha's witty comedy and ability to relate to the fans made her a great host of the 2013 YHAs! Her funny one-liners and fun interactions with the honorees had us laughing every time she came to the stage.
Aisha Tyler brought out her sassy wit in full force as host of the 15th Annual Young Hollywood Awards. She looked like she was having the time of her life hanging out with Hollywood's hottest fresh faces, which made her come across as a really relatable and fun host!
Aisha Tyler: Young Hollywood Awards Host
Aisha just straight out says what we're all thinking: there were some seriously hot celebs in attendance of this year's Young Hollywood Awards show! "Unfortunately, you can't buy stock in celebrities — otherwise I'd be sitting on a pile of Ryan Gosling right now. … Or I would just be sitting on Ryan Gosling," Aisha joked in her opening monologue. Truth!
Aisha couldn't help but stress the Young Hollywood Awards' uncanny ability to select the hottest celebs out of the fresh faces in attendance. "We are like psychics in recognizing talent," she said about how awesome the awards are in picking out the future's biggest names. Taylor Swift, Emma Stone, and Liam Hemsworth — along with plenty other current megastars! -- were all recognized by the YHAs before they went on to be come huge sensations.
Aisha's funniest moment came when she picked up a donut that Ian Somerhalder bit into backstage — and alerted us all that it's going to turn into a vampire!
Aisha Tyler Is A Natural Host
Aisha Tyler is a pro host: she has hosted a slew of funny shows — and is currently the new host of Whose Line Is It Anyway? — but her freshest role yet was hosting the 2013 Young Hollywood Awards. She sounded really comfortable and confident hosting the show. Since she clearly identified herself as a fan of the night's winners and attendees, she came across as genuinely interested and supportive — just like the fans at home! She actually gushed over the stars rather than giving them stuffy introductions.
She wasn't afraid to poke fun at herself either, at one point joking that she could potentially be mistaken for RuPaul from behind in her sparkly silver dress!
Overall, Aisha came across as likable and down-to-earth: and we'd expect nothing less!
What do YOU think, HollywoodLifers? Did you think Aisha was a great YHA host?

So I finally heard Hang and goddamn is that a damn good album. I hate myself for putting it off. So good
I think it's eh. Fills more like album filler than something that should be a stand alone single.
Definitely looking forward to Transmission Alpha Delta, that album will shred.
sorry for not being around much, everyone. Had a busy year and didn't listen to much music, but here's my list.
What I liked
Mastodon - Once More 'Round the Sun
Deadmau5 - While (1>2)
Been playing Skyrim. I got it a year after it came out, but I still didn't play past the first quest because I was still hung up on Oblivion. There were some details that I liked about Oblivion that...
Went to go see Coheed and Cambria last night. FUCKING AWESOME. Opening band was called Thank You Scientist, who were okay. Coheed, however, was epic. So awesome hearing IKSSE:3 in its entirety.
Been listening to the new Deadmau5 and Mastodon. So far, I've really enjoyed both. Also listened to the new Comeback Kid, which was alright. It's not as good as their last album, which I think was...

I've been listening to this band a lot lately and they are actually pretty good. I just wanted to post here and see if anyone else was into them. If you haven't heard of them, check em out. If you're...
The Amazing Spiderman 2 7/10
I thought it was good. I think because of how fast they rebooted this franchise, people still aren't past Sam Raimi's Spiderman. I, personally, don't let that bother...
Decided to have a little nostalgia trip and play through Half-Life. I haven't played it in so long.
Captain America 2 9/10
Just a really fun and enjoyable film. Pacing was good, acting was really solid and the story was great
All Along because I think it's a forgettable throwaway track that sounds like it was put together in a day and Don't Pick It Up because it's was just really silly and dorky.
Right now, Emily Armstrong and Katy Goodman
Currently employed as a driver for Papa Johns, so I'll give my two cents.

'Game of Thrones' Premiere: 4 Burning Questions Answered
Who's that guy Arya killed? What about that creepy cannibal from North of the Wall? And why does Oberyn have such a chip on his shoulder?
[WARNING: Spoilers ahead for Sunday's episode of Game of Thrones, "Two Swords"]
Tyrion, Jon and Arya are back on Game of Thrones. We all know who those guys are, but what about the supporting characters who popped up on Sunday's premiere?
We've got you covered.
PHOTOS: 'Game of Thrones': 20 Best Quotes
1. Who was the man Arya killed?
Arya (Maisie Williams) continued her streak of dishing out revenge. After stopping at a tavern with The Hound (Rory McCann), she recognizes Polliver (Andy Kellegher), one of the the Lannister soldiers, as the man who murdered her friend Lommy and stole her sword, Needle.
This all happened back in season two when Arya was traveling the King's Road along with recruits for the Night's Watch. Among them: Lommy, Hot Pie and Gendry. Lannister men were on the hunt for Gendry, as he was one of King Robert's bastards. When a group of Lannister men attacked one night, Lommy was injured and Arya's gang was captured. When Arya appealed to Polliver that Lommy needed help if they were to march on, Polliver responded by killing the boy with Needle. Arya repaid the deed in the season-four premiere, repeating Polliver's words back to him
2. Where'd Tywin get the Valyrian steel for the weapons from the opening scene?
It's implied that Tywin melted down the Starks' accessorial sword Ice to create two weapons – one of which Jaime received in Sunday's premiere. Tywin doesn't say this outright, but instead states meaningfully that a rare Valyrian steel weapon suddenly became available.
RECAP: 'Game of Thrones' Season Premiere
3. What about that creepy cannibal from north of the Wall?
The premiere doesn't reveal much about Styr (Joseph Gatt). What we do know about the bald, menacing newcomer is that he's part of a Wildling band and he likes eating people. In the novels, he's among Mance Rayder's lieutenants.
4. What's the deal with Oberyn Martell?
Prince Oberyn of Dorne is ostensibly in King's Landing for Joffrey's wedding – but he clearly has the ulterior motive of avenging his sister's rape and death at the hands of The Mountain, one of Tywin's men.
Elia Martell was married to Rhaegar Targaryen, son of the Mad King, and was killed along with her children during King Robert's rebellion. This all happened under Tywin's watch, so Oberyn hates the Lannisters and blames them for the death of his family members. On a side note, Tywin's own granddaughter Myrcella is currently living in Dorne, waiting to be married to Oberyn's nephew, which would strengthen the Lannisters' alliance with Dorne. Actor Pedro Pascal goes into more detail about his character's motivations during a chat with THR, which can be read here.
What other questions did you have about the premiere?
Stay tuned to THR.com/GOT for complete Game of Thrones coverage.
Game of Thrones airs Sundays at 9 p.m. on HBO.

Arizona Cardinals
Carson Palmer nearly went to Tampa Bay, ESPN's Schefter says
When the Arizona Cardinals take the field Sunday, they can be thankful that their starting quarterback isn't donning their opponent's uniform.
ESPN's Adam Schefter reports the Tampa Bay Buccaneers had their eye on then-Oakland quarterback Carson Palmer over the summer, and even had deep discussions with the Raiders to get the 33-year-old signal caller.
Tampa planned it out. It had extensive talks to try to get a trade done. A deal was within its grasp, so much so that the Buccaneers believed Palmer would be theirs.And just when the Buccaneers thought they would land him, the Cardinals stepped in and made an offer the Raiders could not refuse. Arizona, not Tampa, got the trade done.
In the end, one of Palmer's agents, Dave Dunn, helped steer his client to Arizona instead of Tampa Bay.
Arizona landed Palmer on April 2 while swapping draft picks with the Raiders and offering them a conditional 2014 pick. Palmer signed a new deal with the Cardinals.
Schefter said the Buccaneers were worried about the efficiency of quarterback Josh Freeman entering the season. Those concerns have already materialized, as they have gone with rookie Mike Glennon as the starter Sunday against Arizona.
How odd that in the very week in which Freeman was removed as the starter, the Buccaneers will be playing against the very quarterback they plotted to land in case this very scenario emerged. One way or another, Palmer always was going to be playing in Tampa in the fourth week of this season.
Entering Sunday's game, Palmer has completed 57.9 percent of his passes for 762 yards, three touchdowns and four interceptions in three starts for Arizona.
