Councillor Julie takes over at Cockermouth store
Last updated at 12:53, Friday, 15 February 2013
A Cockermouth business which has been in the same family for more than 70 years has been sold.
Firns Home Hardware, on Station Street, was opened by George Firn in 1939 and then passed on to his son-in-law Paul Carr, who had it for more than 30 years.
Mr Carr put the business up for sale in September to take retirement with wife Hilary, who also worked there.
The business has now been sold to brother and sister Justin and Julie Laidlow, who were both born in Cockermouth.
Julie, 50, of Crown Street, who is a town councillor, previously worked for 12 years at Fairfield Garage in Cockermouth. Justin is returning from Scotland where he owns a convenience store.
Firns will continue to run as a hardware store and all its employees are being kept on.
Julie said: "My brother wanted to come back to Cockermouth for a long time and wanted me to look for something we could run as a business. Firns was perfect because it was long established and has become part of Cockermouth."
She said that her brother had retail experience, while she will mainly deal with customers.
Mr and Mrs Carr and their son James, who works at the store, will stay on until the end of the month to ensure a smooth transition.
Mr Carr will then take retirement as he and his wife have recently become grandparents, and Mrs Carr got the all-clear after contracting breast cancer last February. They plan to buy a camper van and travel, and Mr Carr hopes to research his family tree.
He said: "I am delighted that a local family is taking over and wish Julie and Justin all the best."
He thanked customers for their support.

Semantic Orthogonality of Type Disciplines (1997)

year = {1997}
We consider a version of PCF, and prove, using both syntactic and semantic means, that the operational equivalences of the base language are preserved when the language is extended with sum and product types, with polymorphic types, and with recursive types. These theorems show that the additions to the type systems are orthogonal to the original language. 1 Introduction Type systems for programming languages are rarely monolithic: although a type system may be composed of many parts, each part can usually be understood on its own. Consider, for instance, the programming language Standard ML (SML) [22]. SML's type system includes base types of integers, reals, strings, and characters, and type constructors for lists, functions, tuples, references, exceptions, user-defined recursive datatypes, and polymorphism. On a syntactic level, the type rules of the parts do not interfere with one another: the type-checking rule for application, for example, uses only the fact that the operator is...

SAN DIEGO, Feb. 10, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Mast Therapeutics, Inc. (NYSE MKT: MSTX) today announced that it has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Aires Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Aires), a privately-held, clinical stage pharmaceutical company developing therapies to treat pulmonary vascular disorders such as pulmonary arterial hypertension and pulmonary hypertension due to heart failure. Aires' lead product, AIR001, is an intermittently nebulized formulation of nitrite and has orphan drug status with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and the European Medicines Agency for the treatment of pulmonary arterial hypertension.
"The acquisition of Aires will enhance our pipeline with a phase 2 asset with more than 120 human subject exposures and which is a strategic complement to our lead program, MST-188. With total consideration of approximately 6% of Mast equity, it represents excellent value for our stockholders," stated Brian M. Culley, Chief Executive Officer of Mast Therapeutics, Inc.
"Nitrite has demonstrable beneficial properties, including vasodilation and the reduction of inflammation and undesirable cell growth. These are important therapeutic objectives and an ideal complement to MST-188 and its ability to improve blood flow and seal cellular membranes. In addition, we intend to investigate the hypothesis that AIR001 positively affects mitochondrial activity and myocyte energetics. With this acquisition, and the initiation of our phase 2 trial of MST-188 for the treatment of acute limb ischemia later this quarter, we are taking additional steps towards building a sustainable company with a valuable pipeline addressing significant unmet needs in both specialized and major markets," Mr. Culley continued.
"Another highlight of this acquisition is its favorable economics. Aires had completed several venture financings, including a $20 million Series B round. We are paying significantly less than that to acquire the program and we currently estimate that our development costs for AIR001 for the first 12 months will be approximately $2 million. Our estimated costs for AIR001 will change as we refine our development strategy over the next few months, but Aires is expected to contribute approximately $3 million of net cash at the closing of the merger, so, as currently contemplated, our first year of development of AIR001 will not require additional capital investment by Mast," Mr. Culley concluded.
Under the terms of the all-stock transaction, Aires would become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Mast Therapeutics, Inc. in exchange for shares of Mast common stock representing approximately 6% of Mast's outstanding common stock, 80% of which would be subject to a six-month holdback for certain indemnification claims of Mast. There are no milestone obligations payable to Aires. The acquisition is expected to close in February 2014, subject to customary closing conditions.
About AIR001
AIR001 (sodium nitrite) inhalation solution, also known as Aironite®, is an intermittently nebulized formulation of nitrite. Under hypoxic conditions, AIR001 is converted to nitric oxide. Nitrite mediated nitric oxide formation has several beneficial effects, including dilation of blood vessels and reduction of inflammation and undesirable cell growth.
AIR001 has been granted orphan drug status by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and the European Medicines Agency for the treatment of pulmonary arterial hypertension.
Conference Call Information
Interested parties may access the conference call by dialing (877) 870-4263 from the U.S. and (412) 317-0790 from outside the U.S. and should request the Mast Therapeutics Corporate Update Call. The webcast will be available live via the Internet by accessing the Investors section of Mast's website at www.masttherapeutics.com/investors/. Replays of the webcast will be available on the Company's website for 30 days and a phone replay will be available through March 5, 2014 by dialing (877) 344-7529 from the U.S. and (412) 317-0088 from outside the U.S. and entering conference reference number 10040517.
About Mast Therapeutics
Mast Therapeutics, Inc. is a publicly traded biopharmaceutical company headquartered in San Diego, California. The Company is leveraging the MAST (Molecular Adhesion and Sealant Technology) platform, derived from over two decades of clinical, nonclinical and manufacturing experience with purified and non-purified poloxamers, to develop MST-188, its lead product candidate, for serious or life-threatening diseases with significant unmet needs. MST-188 is a cytoprotective, hemorheologic, anti-inflammatory and anti-thrombotic agent that has potential utility in diseases or conditions characterized by microcirculatory insufficiency (endothelial dysfunction and/or impaired blood flow).
The Company is enrolling subjects in EPIC, a pivotal phase 3 study of MST-188 in sickle cell disease. In the first quarter of 2014, the Company plans to initiate a phase 2, clinical proof of concept study in acute limb ischemia that will evaluate whether MST-188 improves the effectiveness of existing thrombolytic agents. The Company is also evaluating development options for MST-188 in heart failure. More information can be found on the Company's web site at www.masttherapeutics.com. (Twitter: @MastThera)

Mast Therapeutics cautions you that statements included in this press release that are not a description of historical facts are forward-looking statements that are based on the Company's current expectations and assumptions. Such forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements relating to the completion of the acquisition of Aires Pharmaceuticals, the amount of the Company's common stock issuable as merger consideration, the amount of Aires' net cash at closing of the merger, the Company's development plans for AIR001, as well as the cost and timing of activities related to those plans, and the Company's development plans for MST-188 in acute limb ischemia and heart failure, including the timing of initiation of any clinical studies. Among the factors that could cause or contribute to material differences between the Company's actual results and the expectations indicated by the forward-looking statements are risks and uncertainties that include, but are not limited to: the potential that the acquisition may be delayed and/or terminated; the potential that the number of shares of the Company's common stock issuable to Aires' stockholders as merger consideration will be greater or less than the Company's estimated amount as a result of differences between the Company's estimate of and Aires' actual net cash at closing and/or the volatility in the closing sales prices of the Company's common stock; the uncertainty of outcomes in ongoing and future studies of any investigational drug, including MST-188 and AIR001, and the risk that they may not demonstrate adequate safety, efficacy or tolerability in one or more such studies, including EPIC; delays in the commencement or completion of clinical studies, including as a result of difficulties in obtaining regulatory agency agreement on clinical development plans or clinical study design, opening trial sites, enrolling study subjects, manufacturing sufficient quantities of clinical trial material, being subject to a "clinical hold," and/or suspension or termination of a clinical study, including due to patient safety concerns or lack of funding; the potential for institutional review boards or the FDA or other regulatory agencies to require additional nonclinical or clinical studies prior to initiation of any planned phase 2 clinical study of MST-188 or AIR001; the potential that, even if clinical studies of a product candidate in one indication are successful, clinical studies in another indication may not be successful; the risk that, even if clinical studies are successful, the FDA or other regulatory agencies may determine they are not sufficient to support a new drug application; the Company's reliance on contract research organizations (CROs), contract manufacturing organizations (CMOs), and other third parties to assist in the conduct of important aspects of development of its product candidates, including clinical studies and regulatory activities for MST-188, and that such third parties may fail to perform as expected; the Company's ability to obtain additional funding on a timely basis or on acceptable terms, or at all; the potential for the Company to delay, reduce or discontinue current and/or planned development activities, including clinical studies, partner its product candidates at inopportune times or pursue less expensive but higher-risk and/or lower return development paths if it is unable to raise sufficient additional capital as needed; the risk that, even if the Company successfully develops a product candidate in one or more indications, it may not realize commercial success with its products and may never generate revenue sufficient to achieve profitability; the risk that the Company is not able to adequately protect its intellectual property rights relating to the MAST platform and MST-188, and, following the acquisition, AIR001, and prevent competitors from duplicating or developing equivalent versions of its product candidates; and other risks and uncertainties more fully described in the Company's press releases and periodic filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Company's public filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission are available at www.sec.gov.
You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date when made. Mast Therapeutics does not intend to revise or update any forward-looking statement set forth in this press release to reflect events or circumstances arising after the date hereof, except as may be required by law.

Wearable technology was dominant at this year's International Consumer Electronics Show (CES) , and MWC was no exception to this trend. New versions of favorites, such as the Samsung Gear (three new products were released: the Gear 2, the Gear 2 Neo and the Gear Fit), shared the limelight with new wearables like Pebble Time Steel (the new premium version of the company's previously released smartwatch) and the LG Watch Urbane. The most dramatic difference at MWC was an emphasis on presenting wearables as fashion accessories and moving away from the original clunky technology associated with t...

Doctor insights on:
Ectatic Ascending Aorta
Is CT cardiac calcium scan accurate in diagnosing mild ectatic ascending aorta? Have fam. History of heart disease (father died at 46 with chf) and slight heart murmur. Should I have other tests done
No: You need an aortic ultrasound to determine if it is too large. A calcium score of the abdominal aorta is useless. A vest x-ray with abdominal view can tell you if you have a mildly ecstatic aorta or not but that is not harmful. If your doc is concerned the best test would be a stress test of your heart. Talk to your doc. ...Read moreGet help now ›
Aorta (Definition)
The aorta is the largest artery in the body, leaving directly from the left ventricle of the heart to supply blood to the entire body. It is made of elastic tissue layers called "intima" and is subject to damage by high blood pressure, smoking, cholesterol, ...Read more
Loeys Dietz child and my ascending aorta is dilated. Any knowledgable drs. In Atlanta?
Sibley Heart Center: Sibley Heart Center (with Emory University) has an excellent reputation. I'm not from the area and don't know if they have any special center for connective tissue disorders (like Loeys-Dietz, Marfan or Ehlers-Danlos), but that would be a good place to start. Medical treatment and follow-up may be sufficient if the dilatation is not severe. Good luck. ...Read moreGet help now ›
Just followed up with cardiologist for dilated ascending aorta found at Mayo. They measured it wrong. Isn't Mayo supposed to be better than that?
No one's perfect: The Mayo clinic has an excellent reputation & would be considered relatively reliable. However, certain msmts can change over time. Also, there will always be some variability between msmts (with less variability by definition for more precise msmts). Looking from a different angle or with better echo windows may also affect the result. Lastly, no one is perfect, so anyone can make a mistake. ...Read moreGet help now ›

Complicated question: Timing of aortic root replacement is complex in childhood. Factors include the z-score of the aortic root diameter (which requires knowledge of body surface area), the rate of growth of the aorta, the function of the aortic valve, and the underlying cause. At 3.15 cm, it is unlikely that surgery is indicated at this time. Surveillance, typically by echocardiogram, should be performed regularly. ...Read moreGet help now ›

I really like this machine. It arrived in one box that was left outside my front door. I brought it inside myself and assembled it alone. I could have used an extra hand with assembly, but I certainly was able to assemble it myself. Read the instructions carefully several times before you start assembly. As far as the machine itself, I"m extremely happy. It is easy to use and it feels very similar to the one I use in the gym. The only thing that might be a problem is that the machine maxes out at 75 lbs. That hasnt been a problem for me, but it is worth noting.

AFL-CIO, Americans for Financial Reform, Center for Economic and Policy Research, Communications Workers of America and Public Citizen co-hosted a discussion on a financial transaction tax. Presenters included Jared Bernstein – Senior Fellow at Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, former Chief Economist for Vice President Joe Biden; David Borris – Small business owner, Hel's Kitchen Catering, Chicago/North Shore Illinois; Damon Silvers – Director of Policy and Special Counsel, AFL-CIO; and Wallace Turbeville – Senior Fellow at Demos, former Vice President of Goldman Sachs.

Does Canada's $100 Bill Smell Like Maple Syrup? Many Say So

This much is true: Many Canadians apparently think their government has embedded a maple-scented scratch-and-sniff patch in the nation's $100 bills.
According to CTV, "dozens of people" contacted the Bank of Canada after the polymer bills were introduced in 2011 to say they were sure there was something fishy ... or perhaps we should say sweet ... about the money.
But alas, this is also true: "Bank official Jeremy Harrison says no scent has been added to any of the new bank notes," CTV says.
Now, hearing about this on Morning Edition made us wonder:
-- Who smells their money?
-- What might be a good scent for U.S. bills? Maybe pizza? Apple pie? Bacon?
This isn't our first dip into news about Canadian currencies:
Whoa Canada! New Currency Has 'Wrong' Maple Leaf?

Assassin's Creed III
Sequence 7 ... How do i Air assinate a grenader with out being detected?
I finished that with 100%, but I can't start bunker hill. The mission marker is in the frontier, in an empty spot near the edge of the map. I go there and nothing happens. Any tips?
On the left boat, swim around to the rear side. There are two patrolling guards; the grenadier and a normal redcoat. The redcoat will stop on the right side (from behind the ship) of the two gaps between the railings. Pull him into the water when the grenadier isn't in sight. Then climb to the rear of the ship (Where the wheel is), and watch the guards. When there is a redcoat standing at the wheel and the grenadier is walking away from the rear of the ship, hop over the railing and hide behind the crates. Corner assassinate the redcoat as he comes around the corner. Stand there and let the grenadier spot you. He'll walk your way; hide behind the crates immediately! As he nears, he'll go wher eyou killed the redcoat. Walk to the other side of the crates (keep the crates between you and the grenadier so he can't see you). With his icon gray, looking for you, climb the boxes and air assassinate him.

Already mentioned. All you have to do is snipe them with your bow and arrows from the mast. Make sure you hold down though so your arrow has a chance to kill them in one shot instead of two. Then all you do is loot the bodies for your bow ammo and repeat it on the next ship.
Gamertag: Kegfarms
get a bunch of arrows sneak up the ummm mast? yeah lets go with mast and just snipe everyone before u kill the guy in the kilt...i think its a mast...THE BIGGEST POLE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE SHIP THAT HOLDS THE BIGGEST FLAG.

Speed kills
Summertime has proven to be the deadliest time of year on the roads in Minnesota, largely due to motorists traveling faster at unsafe speeds, with clear roads providing a false sense of security, according to the Minnesota Department of Public Safety (DPS).
As part of an effort to slow down speeders, DPS is stepping up speed enforcement through this weekend.
Statewide, there were 243 speed-related deaths in the last three years.

Need care tips for new Pink Quill Bromeliad
I just purchased my first bromeliad and I have several questions about it. I have read that it is an air plant but mine came in a 4" pot that has potting soil. Should I keep it in this pot with this soil? I live in the high desert and it is very dry. What is the best way to water this plant? Should I actually water the soil or would misting be better? Can I mist it with miracle grow? Any other advise would be most appreciated. Thank you!
Hi bj99, bromeliads are often referred to as air plants, though this is a common term and does not mean much with out seeing a picture of your plant or knowing the name of your plant? (Post an image if you can?)
If your plant came in soil, I would generally assume it likes soil mixes (possibly open potting mix?) and if so would almost certainly like a good drench (both plant and soil) with water and possibly Miracle grow, though again where you are growing it will determine how much water it will take (ie indoors is difficult in most houses to grow plants due to a lack of light) and the night time temperatures, ie if frosts still occur at night and it is a tropical plant? then growing out doors may not be ok?
Am sure if you take an image of your plant and also describe the growing location as well as the weather in your area ie cold nights hot days or cool days under 59oF (ie 15oC) then am sure many of the forum members will give you appropriate advice, on care and growing your plant,
Bromeliads are generally easy to grow in warm climates though will depend on what plant you have. cheers allan

John Crowe Ransom
John Crowe Ransom was an American poet, essayist, magazine editor, and professor.
Ransom was the third of four children of a Methodist minister. His family was highly literate. As a child, he read his family's library and engaged his father in passionate discussions. He published five main books of poetry, four books of essays, and edited three anthologies. He also published one textbook on writing, A College Primer of Writing (1943).
Ransom was home schooled until age ten, and entered Vanderbilt University at fifteen, graduating first in his class in 1909. He interrupted his studies for two years to teach sixth and seventh grades in Taylorsville, ... more »

John Crowe Ransom Poems
Blue Girls
Twirling your blue skirts, travelling the sward Under the towers of your seminary, Go listen to your teachers old and contrary Without believing a word.
Bells For John Whiteside's Daughter
There was such speed in her little body, And such lightness in her footfall, It is no wonder her brown study Astonishes us all
Dead Boy
The little cousin is dead, by foul subtraction, A green bough from Virginia's aged tree, And none of the county kin like the transaction, Nor some of the world of outer dark, like me.
The friar had said his paternosters duly And scourged his limbs, and afterwards would have slept; But with much riddling his head became unruly, He arose, from the quiet monastery he crept.
Captain Carpenter
Captain Carpenter rose up in his prime Put on his pistols and went riding out But had got wellnigh nowhere at that time Till he fell in with ladies in a rout.
Piazza Piece
-- I am a gentleman in a dustcoat trying To make you hear. Your ears are soft and small And listen to an old man not at all, They want the young men's whispering and sighing.
Prelude to an Evening
Do not enforce the tired wolf Dragging his infected wound homeward To sit tonight with the warm children Naming the pretty kings of France.
The Equilibrists
Full of her long white arms and milky skin He had a thousand times remembered sin. Alone in the press of people traveled he, Minding her jacinth, and myrrh, and ivory.
Janet Waking
Beautifully Janet slept Till it was deeply morning. She woke then And thought about her dainty-feathered hen, To see how it had kept.
Winter Remembered
Two evils, monstrous either one apart, Possessed me, and were long and loath at going: A cry of Absence, Absence, in the heart, And in the wood the furious winter blowing.
Painted Head
By dark severance the apparition head Smiles from the air a capital on no Column or a Platonic perhaps head On a canvas sky depending from nothing;
Conrad in Twilight
Conrad, Conrad, aren't you old To sit so late in your mouldy garden? And I think Conrad knows it well, Nursing his knees, too rheumy and cold
Emily Hardcastle, Spinster
We shall come tomorrow morning, who were not to have her love, We shall bring no face of envy but a gift of praise and lilies
An American Addresses Philomela
Procne, Philomela, and Itylus, Your names are liquid, your improbable tale Is recited in the classic numbers of the nightingale.

And I will cry with my loud lips and publish
Beauty which all our power shall never establish,
It is so frail.

Italy offered its full backing to the economic sanctions against Iran announced by the US government, new Foreign Minister Giulio Terzi said on Tuesday, adding to international pressure against Tehran's nuclear program."Italy supports with full conviction the plan for economic sanctions announced by the US administration," a statement from the Foreign Ministry read. The statement followed a report from the International Atomic Energy Agency which presented evidence suggesting that Iran had worked on designing an atomic bomb.RELATED:Iran minister says sanctions a 'lose-lose game' 'US, UK, to announce new sanctions on Iran' Russia's Foreign Ministry denounced the sanctions as "unacceptable and contradictory to international law,"

Tehran's nuclear program, named Iran on Monday as an area of "primary

from dealing with it. It also blacklisted 11 entities suspected
of aiding its nuclear programs and expanded sanctions to target
companies that aid its oil and petrochemical industries.

As for the cutting beam, it doesn't get any benefit from my tactical consoles. I suppose I could try it out, as I have nothing else to spend Omega marks on...
I swap consoles between my ships as needed. Like you, I only have 1 Tachyokinetic Converter console. I usually have it on my Mobius, but since the Breen ship is seeing a lot of action, I moved the console to it for now.
Tachyokinetic Converter + Borg Universal Assimilated Module + Zero Point Energy Conduit = 8.9 base critical hit rate and around +66.8% Critical Severity, AKA WIN!
The Kinetic Cutting Beam sux on its own, but when it procs with the Borg console, your weapons stay near 125 weapon power for 3 seconds per proc. This translates to a lot more DPS if you're running lots of high drain energy weapons like DHC's and turrets. Lastly, the cutting beam scores double damage against exposed hulls once you breach the target's shields. If you run a full borg set, its cutting beam + borg tractor beam becomes a nasty finisher weapon, scoring 2k kinetic damage (4k exposed hull damage) per second for 10 seconds.
