Scientists Kick Off Malaria Meeting In Washington
On Tuesday, scientists and doctors throughout the world kicked off a meeting in Washington today to discuss progress made in developing a vaccine against malaria, and the news is expected to be good.
"People are excited that we may finally have a vaccine that can be registered and in use in five years, and making a huge contribution to what has been an uphill battle for too long," Gwynne Oosterbaan, vice president of international consultants Global Health Strategies, told AFP news.
"There's light at the end of the tunnel," she said
The "RTS,S" malaria vaccine will be one of the stars at the meeting. GlaxoSmithKline and the PATH Malaria Vaccine Initiative developed the vaccine, with funding from the philanthropic foundation set up by Microsoft billionaire Bill Gates and his wife, Melinda.
The vaccine is in Phase III trials, which tests a vaccine's safety and efficacy on a large scale in seven African countries, including Burkina Faso, Gabon, Ghana, Kenya, Malawi, Mozambique and Tanzania. Enrollment is targeted to reach 16,000 children and infants.
Results of the Phase III trials showed that RTS,S was 53 percent effective against clinical falciparum malaria in young children, the most vulnerable to the mosquito-born illness.
The vaccine was up to 65 percent effective in infants.
The Malaria Vaccine Initiative said that if successful, the Phase III testing and licensing of the vaccine would make it a "first generation malaria vaccine that is at least 50 percent effective against severe disease and death, and that lasts more than one year."
"This vaccine has been 25 years in the making and it's taken people from all walks of life to pull it together to make it happen," Oosterbaan told AFP.
Christian Ockenhouse and Thomas Ritchie will be among the keynote speakers at the meeting, along with GSK researcher Joe Cohen, one of the inventors of RTS,S.
Over a third of the world's population is at risk of contracting malaria, a disease that kills about 900,000 people every year. The falciparum strain of malaria is the most deadly form of the illness, which is caused by a parasite carried by mosquitoes.
The organizers of the Washington conference said that about 200 people die of malaria every hour of every day every year, most of them children in Africa.
They said that Malaria is one of the main obstacles to socio-economic development in Africa, and developing effective vaccines against the disease would have an enormous effect on reducing its negative impact.

Guerrero no big deal for Mayweather
GUERRERO, in Spanish, means 'warrior'.
Robert Guerrero, who will challenge Floyd "The Money" Mayweather Jr. at the MGM Grand today for the WBC welterweight title, is confident that he will live up to his name.
Guerrero believes he will be the first man to beat the undefeated Mayweather, who has not seen action in a year after serving a jail term for beating up his wife.
He said during a recent press conference that there has to be a first time, and he's the one who will pin on the cocky Floyd Jr. his first loss.
In contrast, Floyd Jr. looks at Guerrero as just another opponent. No big deal, he said, although he included in their fight contract a rematch clause in the unlikely event that he loses?
Is there really a big possibility for The Money to absorb his first defeat today?
Here's what our favorite boxing experts have to say:
Lawyer Ed Tolentino: "Guerrero, also called 'The Ghost,' has a solid left straight that can give a foe that out-of-body experience. But he tends to bully and hold inside to create that opening for his left instead of working on combinations.
"Mayweather is too slick to just stay in front and allow Guerrero to grapple him. He will back up Guerrero with his jab and confuse him with slick movements.
"Floyd's ring savvy is just too much. Barring a lucky punch, he will cruise to a decision."
Abac Cordero, Philippine Star: "To win, Guerrero needs a lucky punch. He can't beat Mayweather in a boxing match. He must throw everything he has and hopes that he gets lucky."
Nick Giongco, Manila Bulletin: "Guerrero has a chance, of course. But Mayweather is simply too classy, although inactivity might play a significant factor. It's been a year since Mayweather last fought
"One thing going for Guerrero, he is on a roll lately. But he has to be ultra aggressive versus Mayweather because that's his only chance to win."
World boxing icon Manny Pacquiao was supposed to make an appearance at the PBA All-Star weekend being staged in Digos, Davao del Sur.
He had even called Davao del Sur Gov. Douglas Cagas to confirm that he was going to play in the basketball game featuring the PBA Stalwarts versus the PBA Greats.
Manny never showed up. Perhaps he changed his mind when he found out the lineup of the PBA legends and still active PBA stars who were to see action in the exhibition match.

He defines the structure, in so much as there is one, of a picture that drifts in tone between Werner Herzog's nightmarish, nostalgic Bavarian romanticism and a certain variety of gothic surrealism. Indeed, Heart of Glass, while hewing close to Herzog's themes of the insufficiency of myth as a means to obscure truths about horror and beauty as well as of the artist as solitary, Byronic voyager, appears to be Herzog's play at the stylization of Buñuel. After an aged glassblower dies in a small village, the out-of-time surviving villagers, reliant on the "ruby glass" that was the artisan's specialty, spend the balance of the piece spiralling in a maddening gyre to divine the secret of the formula.

As such, it feels a lot more like a cheap shot than like a tribute, burying as it does Kinski's indisputable genius beneath a lot of documentary evidence that Kinski was a slavering lunatic. And though Herzog betrays a definite affection for Kinski (nowhere more so than in a hilarious/warm reminiscence offered to the very proper German couple living in the apartment once shared by the director and actor), more often the piece is given to obfuscating outtakes and anecdotes. Consider the eclipsing impact that B-roll footage of a raving Kinski on the set of Aguirre, The Wrath of God and Herzog's comments about the natives offering to kill the actor for him have on Kinski's astonishingly reserved, haunted performance in the film. If you've never seen Aguirre, you'd think that Kinski was awful in it--and if you have seen Aguirre, your mind begins to blur what's actually...

Once seen, it's never forgotten, and upon repeat viewings, it's one of those pictures that makes you want to cry for no particular reason but that it is, in almost every non-quantifiable way, perfect, a film alight with invention, love, and passion--a memoir of the worm in the gut that demands blood and glory. Aguirre (Klaus Kinski) is an under-lieutenant in the bona fide Peruvian expedition of Gonzalo Pizarro (Alejandro Repullés) to find the lost city of gold, El Dorado, a fiction of the Peruvian Indians meant as a suicide pill for their conquistadors.

Both actions speak to a sort of insensate savagery, the divorce between the Freudian Id and Ego so favoured by the surrealists--and in setting the film in a fictitious place populated entirely by the little people of the title, it touches on the surrealist belief that non-Western civilizations were closer to an undifferentiated nature. The story proper concerns the uprising of a "Prisoner"-like colony against an ineffectual, Kafkaesque godhead (Pepi Hermine) and the Institution he represents. Rebelling against the imprisonment of leader Pepe (Gerd Gickel, tied to a chair throughout), the rebels devolve from a semi-organized protest into bedlam, crucifying monkeys, organizing cockfights, and, in one of the most hopeless conclusions in film, watching as rebel leader Hombre...

By 1973 in the United States, film had already become chronicles of listless motion, failed ideologies, ironic Westward expansion, and rampant paranoia. American cinema was in the process of cannibalizing itself in great gulps of genre reconsideration, taking the lead of the movies-by-critics of the French New Wave and reassessing the western/film noir/thriller cycle of studio-era Hollywood through a new mirror darkly: The iconography of the hero mythology Americans hold most dear (cowboy, hardboiled detective, two-fisted man of action), forced now to be populated by incoherent psychopaths and, worse, effeminate ones--lawyers, journalists, ex-cons, ex-soldiers back from an unpopular war, unloved, disrespected, lost and still losing.

It honours no structural logic that I can discern, though it does have a kinetic kid-logic, the kind honed from endless summer afternoons tromping around with your buddies, making shit up and being happier than you'll ever be again in your life. Message from Space captures that headiness, that heedlessness, the sort of reckless creativity that charts the course between memorable films by someone like Ed Wood and forgettable films by every other hack with the same level of talent but not the same joyful dedication. I'm not saying Message from Space is a good movie--I can't even say that the reasons for its existence are particularly honourable (it's an obvious Star Wars cash-grab).

Alas, unlike Sam Raimi with his masterpiece, Craven is unable to strike a balance between seriousness and silliness, falling too far in the latter direction before the picture finally collapses under its own snarky weight. It is, however, the film that enlightened me as to why B-movie anti-appreciation is such a worthless endeavour, since Swamp Thing never bothers to pretend that it's anything more than a couple of dudes in rubber suits wailing on each other.

Oh, I liked the jokes. There were some episodes I laughed so hard at I had to turn off the television because I couldn't breathe. But I saw the riffing as a bonus, a way to make a good thing better. I didn't really watch the show just because it was funny, and its ironic appreciation of "bad movies" didn't strike me as all that different from the sincere appreciation I had for the likes of Plan 9 from Outer Space as a child. In fact, I don't think it's all that different from the deeper appreciation I have for those movies today. Mocking them doesn't necessarily detract from them. Their sensually visceral aspect always shines through. You can easily tell if something is any good regardless of who is talking over it.

His iconic Black Caesar was basically a remake of Little Caesar with a black cast; his mutant-baby flick It's Alive amplified the generational rift created in families by the social revolutions of the 1960s and early-1970s to horror-movie proportions. Cohen is so commercially savvy that his screenwriting career has continued, in earnest, into the 21st century, placing projects like Phone Booth, Cellular, and Captivity at the Venn-diagram intersection between high-concept appeal and low-budget execution. He also has an instinct for character, and it never served him better than it did in Q, which is the story of a little criminal in a big city as much as it's the story of a huge feathered serpent lording over Manhattan. Q was set up quickly (in two days, to hear Cohen tell it), after Cohen was fired from an adaptation of Mickey Spillane's I, the Jury, and it features a terrific cast (Michael Moriarty, David Carradine, and Richard Roundtree) improvising many of the scenes...

It's a good call; Tarantino owes his career to his long-standing love affair with the grindhouse, and Rolling Thunder is in many ways the quintessence of Hollywood exploitation. Director John Flynn, who made a name for himself with his 1973 adaptation of a Donald E. Westlake novel, The Outift, comes across as an efficient, focused storyteller who pares narrative to the bone. That style of filmmaking really allows (or requires) performance to come to the fore, and in the intense vigilante fantasy Rolling Thunder, both William Devane and Tommy Lee Jones deliver smart and scary interpretations of the soul-damaged protagonist and sidekick, respectively. Flynn certainly wasn't a self-conscious stylist, and he ended up toiling in the gulag of undistinguished action pictures like the 1989 Stallone-in-prison flick Lock Up and the Steven Seagal revenge thriller Out for Justice.

Although I was a freshman in college when I first saw it, I'm not sure that I ever really knew what "memoir" was before, and, since, I've been hard pressed to find any examples that measure up to the bar it sets. Swimming to Cambodia also provides an impossible standard for direction, as Demme takes Gray's "monolog" format (essentially him, alone, on a stage) and turns it into something like an expressionistic piece, something that is at once inside Gray's mind and inside yours using thoughtful editing choices and clever sound and lighting design. In a year that saw the release of Predator, Full Metal Jacket, The Untouchables, Empire of the Sun, Raising Arizona, Near Dark, A Better Tomorrow II, Angel Heart, Evil Dead II, and RoboCop, it's a little astonishing to realize the best-directed film is this one with a guy sitting at a table.

What is Fullerene?
A fullerene is any molecule composed of carbon, in the form of a hollow sphere, ellipsoid, tube, and many other shapes. Spherical fullerenes are also called buckyballs, and they resemble the balls used in football (soccer). Cylindrical ones are called as buckytubes. Fullerenes are similar in structure to graphite, which is composed of stacked graphene sheets of linked hexagonal rings; but they may also contain pentagonal (or sometimes heptagonal) rings.
What is Graphene?
Graphene is a one-atom-thick sheet of carbon atoms in a honeycomb crystal lattice (hexagons). Graphene is pure carbon in the form of a
very thin, nearly transparent sheet, one atom thick. It is remarkably strong for its very low weight (100 times stronger than steel) and it
conducts heat and electricity with great efficiency. While scientists had theorized about graphene for decades, it was first produced in the lab
in 2004. Because it is virtually two-dimensional, it interacts oddly with light and with other materials. Researchers have identified the bipolar
transistor effect, ballistic transport of charges and large quantum oscillations.
Graphene is the building-block of Graphite (used in pencil tips) and it has some amazing
properties - it's considered the world's strongest and thinnest material, and it's also
conductive, transparent and flexible.

BOISE - A wildfire burning 10 miles northwest of Featherville has destroyed at least one cabin and several buildings in the remote Dutch Creek area near the Middle Fork of the Boise River.
Alyssa Roerick with the Boise National Forest says the wildfire destroyed the publicly-owned DutchCreek Cabin along with several utility sheds on Thursday night.
The cabin had previously been available to reserve for camping and other recreation. Roerick says forest rangers and other workers also maintained and used several other outbuildings at the site before they were destroyed in the fire as well.
Officials with the Boise National Forest say the Trinity Ridge Fire is now up to 30,000 acres with 5 percent containment.
Dutch Creek, Swanholm, Weatherby and Queen River campgrounds have all been evacuated. Access to Atlanta is only open through the James Creek road (126 is a high clearance vehicle only route, no trailers). Those with respiratory health conditions in Atlanta are advised to evacuate the area. Campers in need to evacuate the Atlanta area.
A 15,000 gallon water tank called a heliwell has been set up at Rocky Bar. Firefighters from across the nation are assisting in the firefighting effort.
The U.S. Forest Service has closed about 90,000 acres.
The closure boundaries are:
- On the north - North Fork of the Boise River
- On the south - The Trinity Mountain Recreation Area
- On the east - Sawtooth Wilderness border with the National Forest
- On the west - Eastern edge of the Twin Springs area.
Public information officer David Olson with the Boise National Forest said it is not common for them to close such a large part of the forest. However, Olson said the move was in the interest of protecting people out recreating.
Brian Corr was one such person. He and his family had planned a trip to Atlanta.
I heard about the fire earlier this week so I was a little suspicious. But officially I found out earlier today when I called the Forest Service to make sure that everything was fine, said Corr.
When he called, he found out the cabin they had reserved and the road up to Atlanta were closed.
We were really looking forward to it, and then you know the fire at Trinity closed everything, he said.
The Forest Service said the cause was likely a utility vehicle. Law enforcement is investigating the cause. The driver of the UTV could have to pay for damages.

Quarterly Report
You should read the following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations together with our financial statements and accompanying notes included elsewhere in this quarterly report. In addition to the historical information, the discussion in this quarterly report contains certain forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated by the forward-looking statements due to our critical accounting estimates discussed below and important factors set forth in this quarterly report, including under "Risk Factors" in Part II, Item 1A of this quarterly report.
Our Business
We are a global pharmaceutical company focused on advancing the treatment of critical care patients through the delivery of innovative, cost-effective medicines to the worldwide hospital marketplace. We have three marketed products, Angiomax® (bivalirudin), Cleviprex® (clevidipine butyrate) injectable emulsion and our ready-to-use formulation of Argatroban. We also have a pipeline of acute and intensive care hospital products in development, including three late-stage development product candidates, cangrelor, oritavancin and MDCO-157, and one early stage development product candidate, MDCO-216. We believe that our marketed products and products in development possess favorable attributes that competitive products do not provide, can satisfy unmet medical needs in the acute and intensive care hospital product market and offer, or, in the case of our products in development, have the potential to offer, improved performance to hospital businesses. In addition, in January 2012 we acquired from APP Pharmaceuticals, LLC, or APP, non-exclusive rights to market in the United States a portfolio of ten generic drugs, which we refer to as our acute care generic products. We expect to begin selling certain of those products in the fourth quarter of 2012. In May 2012, as part of our global collaboration agreement with AstraZeneca LP, or AstraZeneca, we and AstraZeneca commenced a four-year co-promotion arrangement for AstraZeneca's oral antiplatelet medicine, BRILINTA® (ticagrelor), tablets in the United States.
The following chart identifies each of our marketed products and our products in development, their stage of development, their mechanism of action and the indications for which they have been approved for use or which they are intended to address. The following chart also identifies each of our acute care generic products and the therapeutic areas which they are intended to address. All of our marketed products and products in development are administered intravenously. All of our acute care generic products are injectable products.
Product or Product Development Stage Mechanism/Target Clinical in Development Indication(s)/Therapeutic Areas Angiomax Marketed Direct thrombin U.S. - for use as an inhibitor anticoagulant in combination with aspirin in patients with unstable angina undergoing percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty and for use in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention, or PCI, including patients with or at risk of heparin induced thrombocytopenia and thrombosis syndrome, or HIT/HITTS Europe - for use as an anticoagulant in patients undergoing PCI, adult patients with acute coronary syndrome, or ACS, and for the treatment of patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction, or STEMI, undergoing primary PCI Cleviprex Marketed in the Calcium channel U.S. - Blood pressure United States blocker reduction when oral therapy is not feasible Approved in the or not desirable United Kingdom, the Netherlands, Ex-U.S. - with Sweden, indications for blood Switzerland, pressure control in Australia and New perioperative settings Zealand Marketing Authorization Application, or MAA, submitted in other European Union countries Cangrelor Phase 3 Antiplatelet agent Prevention of platelet activation and aggregation when oral therapy is not feasible or not desirable Oritavancin Phase 3 Antibiotic Treatment of serious gram-positive bacterial infections, including acute bacterial skin and skin structure infections, or ABSSSI, and including infections that are resistant to conventional treatment

Our revenues to date have been generated primarily from sales of Angiomax in the United States. We continue to expand our sales and marketing efforts outside the United States. We believe that by establishing operations outside the United States, we can increase our sales of Angiomax outside of the United States and be positioned to commercialize Cleviprex and our products in development, if and when they are approved outside the United States.
Research and development expenses represent costs incurred for licenses of rights to products, clinical trials, nonclinical and preclinical studies, activities relating to regulatory filings and manufacturing development efforts. We outsource much of our clinical trials, nonclinical and preclinical studies and all of our manufacturing development activities to third parties to maximize efficiency and minimize our internal overhead. We expense our research and development costs as they are incurred. Selling, general and administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries and related expenses, costs associated with general corporate activities and costs associated with marketing and promotional activities. Research and development expense, selling, general and administrative expense and cost of revenue also include stock-based compensation expense, which we allocate based on the responsibilities of the recipients of the stock-based compensation.
As of September 30, 2012, we had an accumulated deficit of approximately $81.1 million. We expect to make substantial expenditures to further develop and commercialize our products and to develop our product candidates, including costs and expenses associated with clinical trials, nonclinical and preclinical studies, regulatory approvals and commercialization.
Angiomax Patent Litigation
The principal U.S. patents covering Angiomax include U.S. Patent No. 5,196,404, or the '404 patent, U.S. Patent No. 7,582,727, or the '727 patent, and U.S. Patent No. 7,598,343, or the '343 patent.
The '404 patent was set to expire in March 2010, but the term was extended to December 15, 2014 by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, or the PTO, under the Hatch-Waxman Act following our litigation against the PTO, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, or the FDA, and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, or HHS. In addition, as a result of our study of Angiomax in the pediatric setting, we are entitled to a six-month period of pediatric exclusivity following expiration of the '404 patent, which extends exclusivity to June 15, 2015.
In the second half of 2009, the PTO issued to us the '727 patent and the '343 patent, covering a more consistent and improved Angiomax drug product and the processes by which it is made. The '727 patent and the '343 patent are set to expire in July 2028. In response to Paragraph IV Certification Notice letters we received with respect to abbreviated new drug applications, or ANDAs, filed by a number of parties with the FDA seeking approval to market generic versions of Angiomax, we have filed lawsuits against the ANDA filers alleging patent infringement of the '727 patent and '343 patent.
On September 30, 2011, we settled our '727 patent and '343 patent infringement litigation with Teva Pharmaceuticals USA, Inc. and its affiliates, which we collectively refer to as Teva. In connection with the Teva settlement, we entered into a license agreement with Teva under which we granted Teva a non-exclusive license under the '727 patent and '343 patent to sell a generic bivalirudin for injection product under a Teva ANDA in the United States beginning June 30, 2019 or earlier under certain conditions.
On January 22, 2012, we settled our patent infringement litigation with APP. In connection with the APP settlement, we entered into a license agreement with APP under which we granted APP a non-exclusive license under the '727 patent and '343 patent to sell a generic bivalirudin for injection product under an APP ANDA in the United States beginning on May 1, 2019. In certain limited circumstances, the license to APP could become effective prior to May 1, 2019. In addition, in certain limited circumstances, this license to APP could include the right to sell a generic bivalirudin product under our NDA for Angiomax in the United States beginning on May 1, 2019 or, in certain limited circumstances, on June 30, 2019 or on a date prior to May 1, 2019. On January 24, 2012, the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware entered a consent judgment and order of permanent injunction concluding our patent infringement suits against APP. On February 1, 2012, we and APP submitted the settlement documents to the U.S. Federal Trade Commission, or FTC, and the U.S. Department of Justice, or the DOJ.
We remain in patent infringement litigation involving the '727 patent and '343 patent with other ANDA filers, as described in Part II, Item 1, Legal Proceedings of this quarterly report. If we are unable to maintain our market exclusivity for Angiomax in the United States through enforcement of our U.S. patents covering Angiomax, then Angiomax could be subject to generic competition earlier than May 1, 2019.
In February 2011, we entered into a settlement agreement and release with the law firm Wilmer Cutler Pickering Hale and Dorr LLP, or WilmerHale, with respect to all potential claims and causes of action between the parties related to the '404 patent. Under the settlement agreement, WilmerHale agreed to make available to us up to approximately $232 million, consisting of approximately $117 million from the proceeds of professional liability insurance policies and $115 million of payments from WilmerHale itself. WilmerHale agreed to pay approximately $18 million from its professional liability insurance providers to us within 60 days after the date of the settlement agreement and delivered such amount in two equal payments in March 2011 and April 2011. The balance of the approximately $232 million aggregate amount provided in the settlement agreement remains available to pay future expenses incurred by us in continuing to defend the extension of the '404 patent, and any damages that may be suffered by us in the event that a generic version of Angiomax is sold in the United States before June 15, 2015 because the extension of the '404 patent is held invalid on the basis that the application for the extension was not timely filed. Payments by WilmerHale itself would be made only after payments from its insurance policies are exhausted and cannot exceed $2.875 million for any calendar quarter.
APP Settlement
On January 22, 2012, we settled our patent litigation with APP, including, as noted above, our patent infringement litigation with APP and our litigation with respect to the extension of the patent term of the '404 patent which was dismissed on January 24, 2012. In connection with the APP settlement, we entered into a settlement agreement, a license agreement with respect to the '727 patent and '343 patent, a contract manufacturing agreement with APP, under which APP has agreed to manufacture and supply Angiomax finished product to us, a license and supply agreement with APP under which APP has agreed to license and supply to us a portfolio of ten generic products and an AG supply agreement with APP under which we have agreed to supply APP with an authorized generic bivalirudin product, upon specified circumstances set forth in the APP license agreement.
Under the APP license agreement, we granted APP a non-exclusive license under the '727 patent and '343 patent to sell in the United States a generic bivalirudin for injection product under an APP ANDA, or an APP product, beginning on May 1, 2019 or earlier under specified conditions, and, in certain limited circumstances, to sell a generic bivalirudin for injection product under our NDA for Angiomax, or an APP generic product, in the United States beginning on May 1, 2019 or, in certain limited circumstances, on June 30, 2019 or on a date prior to May 1, 2019. APP's right under the APP license agreement to sell an APP generic product is subject to the payment to us of a royalty on sales of the APP generic product. If APP has the right to sell an APP generic product, such right could extend for a period of as long as 180 days. The license also covers any other present or future patents owned, licensed or controlled by us that cover or would cover an APP product or an APP generic product other than the '404 patent. Under the APP license agreement, we and APP have also agreed to negotiate an agreement under which we would supply APP with bivalirudin bulk drug substance for use by APP in the manufacture of APP product to be sold under the APP license agreement. The APP license agreement will remain in effect until the later of the expiration of all of the patents covered by the APP license agreement, and the date six months after the expiration of the '404 patent.
Under the APP manufacturing agreement, we have agreed to purchase from APP a specified minimum percentage of the Company's requirements for Angiomax finished product for the sale of Angiomax product in the United States. We have agreed to pay APP a fixed price per vial supplied and to reimburse APP for specified development costs and capital expenditures made
by APP. The term of the APP manufacturing agreement ends on May 1, 2019, but may be extended, at our sole option, for an additional term of two years. If a generic form of bivalirudin for injection is marketed by APP or another third party during the term of the APP manufacturing agreement, we have the right to renegotiate the price and minimum quantity terms of the APP manufacturing agreement and, if such terms cannot be agreed to by the parties, we will have the right to terminate the APP manufacturing agreement upon 90 days prior written notice.
Under the APP generic supply and license agreement, APP has granted us a non-exclusive license under APP's marketing authorizations and intellectual property to sell ten specified generic products to hospitals and integrated delivery networks in the United States. We have agreed to purchase our entire requirements for these products from APP for a price equal to APP's cost of goods. We made a one-time, upfront payment of $30 million to APP. The term of the APP generic supply and license agreement ends January 22, 2022.
Under the AG supply agreement, we have agreed to supply APP with an authorized generic bivalirudin product in the event APP has the right to market the product under the APP license agreement. We have agreed to use commercially reasonable efforts to supply the authorized generic bivalirudin product during the period during which APP can market the product, or the supply period. APP shall purchase the authorized generic bivalirudin product from us at a price based on the costs we have paid to third parties in connection with the manufacture of the product. The AG supply agreement terminates upon the earlier of the end of the supply period or December 27, 2019.
Convertible Senior Note Offering
On June 11, 2012, we completed our private offering of $275.0 million aggregate principal amount of our 1.375% convertible senior notes due 2017, or the Notes, and entered into an indenture with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, a national banking association, as trustee, or the Trustee, governing the Notes, which we refer to as the Indenture. The net proceeds from the offering were $266.2 million, after deducting the initial purchasers' discounts and commissions and our offering expenses.
The Notes will bear cash interest at a rate of 1.375% per year, payable semi-annually on June 1 and December 1 of each year, beginning on December 1, 2012. The Notes will mature on June 1, 2017. The Notes do not contain any financial or operating covenants or any restrictions on the payment of dividends, the incurrence of other indebtedness, or the issuance or repurchase of securities by us.
The Notes are our senior unsecured obligations and will rank senior in right of payment to our future indebtedness, if any, that is expressly subordinated in right of payment to the Notes and equal in right of payment to our existing and future unsecured indebtedness that is not so subordinated. The Notes are effectively junior in right of payment to any of our secured indebtedness to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness and are structurally junior to all existing and future indebtedness and other liabilities (including trade payables) incurred by our subsidiaries. Holders may convert their Notes at their option at any time prior to the close of business on the business day immediately preceding March 1, 2017 only under certain specified circumstances which are set forth in the Indenture. On or after March 1, 2017, until the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity date, holders may convert their Notes at any time, regardless of the foregoing circumstances. Upon conversion, we will pay cash up to the aggregate principal amount of the Notes to be converted and deliver shares of our common stock in respect of the remainder, if any, of our conversion obligation in excess of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes being converted, subject to a daily share cap, as described in the Indenture. Holders of Notes will not receive any additional cash payment or additional shares representing accrued and unpaid interest, if any, upon conversion of a note, except in limited circumstances. Instead, accrued but unpaid interest will be deemed to be paid by the cash and shares, in any, of our common stock, together with any cash payment for any fractional share, paid or delivered, as the case may be, upon conversion of a Note.
The conversion rate for the Notes was initially, and remains, 35.8038 shares of our common stock per $1,000 principal amount of Notes, which is equivalent to an initial conversion price of $27.93 per share of our common stock. The conversion rate and the conversion price are subject to customary adjustments for certain events, including, but not limited to, the issuance of certain stock dividends on our common stock, the issuance of certain rights or warrants, subdivisions, combinations, distributions of capital stock, indebtedness, or assets, cash dividends and certain issuer tender or exchange offers, as described in the Indenture.
We may not redeem the Notes prior to maturity and are not required to redeem or retire the Notes periodically. However, upon the occurrence of a "fundamental change" (as defined in the Indenture), subject to certain conditions, in lieu of converting their Notes, holders may require us to repurchase for cash all or part of their Notes at a repurchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the fundamental change repurchase
date. Following certain corporate transactions that constitute a change of control, we will increase the conversion rate for a holder who elects to convert the Notes in connection with such change of control in certain circumstances.
The Indenture contains customary events of default with respect to the Notes, including that upon certain events of default (including our failure to make any payment of principal or interest on the Notes when due and payable) occurring and continuing, the Trustee by notice to us, or the holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the outstanding Notes by notice to us and the Trustee, may, and the Trustee at the request of such holders (subject to the provisions of the Indenture) shall, declare 100% of the principal of and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on all the Notes to be due and payable. In case of an event of default involving certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization, involving us or a significant subsidiary of ours, 100% of the principal of and accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes will automatically become due and payable. Upon a declaration of acceleration, such principal and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, will be due and payable immediately.
Convertible Note Hedge and Warrant Transactions
On June 5, 2012, we entered into convertible note hedge transactions and warrant
transactions with several of the initial purchasers of the Notes, their
respective affiliates and other financial institutions, which we refer to as the
Hedge Counterparties. We used approximately $19.8 million of the net proceeds
from the offering to pay the cost of the convertible note hedge transactions
(after such cost was partially offset by the proceeds to us from the sale of
warrants in the warrant transactions).
We expect the convertible note hedge transactions to reduce the potential dilution with respect to shares of our common stock upon any conversion of the Notes in the event that the market price per share of our common stock, as measured under the terms of the convertible note hedge transactions, is greater than the strike price of the convertible note hedge transactions, which initially corresponds to the conversion price of the Notes and is subject to anti-dilution adjustments substantially similar to those applicable to the conversion rate of the Notes. The warrant transactions will have a dilutive effect with respect to our common stock to the extent that the market price per share of our common stock, as measured under the terms of the warrant . . .

I get a 404 not found error when i access the home page of my blog. But it's just in the headers, the page appears normal.
I figured out that it has maybe something to do with my blog address which is different from my wordpress address.
I'm not using mod_rewrite, I have renamed index.php to "blog" and that is parsed by PHP. Now "/blog" is my blog address. The problem is there since I've upgraded to 2.0.

KERSEY – The drastic decrease in landfill host fee income is taking its toll on Fox Township.
Most recently the Squab Hollow Road project was a point of discussion during the Fox Township Supervisors meeting on Wednesday evening.
Resident Chuck Grazioli inquired about the status of the paving of the road to which Supervisor Mike Keller responded the township is not 100 percent sure of their plans.
JAY TWP. – Though the Jay Township Sewer Authority bylaws state that visitor comments are limited to three minutes per individual, some in attendance refused to be silenced at Wednesday night's meeting.
During visitor comments, Murray Lilley opened by asking about the EADS (Environmental Architecture and Design Services) Group inspecting bridges and said that he saw an unauthorized person working on the bridges.
Board member Chester Lundy said that he didn't know anything about that.
It's one of the more unusual pieces of sports memorabilia in the world. It's also one of the rarest of all: a baseball signed by a saint.
That's just one of the many pieces in Ridgway resident Denny Heindl's vast collection. As a philanthropist, radio station enthusiast and minority owner of the Pittsburgh Pirates, Heindl's collection has grown immensely over the past 45 years. Its crown jewel, however, may be a baseball with the simple inscription "J P II" for Saint John Paul the Great, formerly known as Pope John Paul II.

Find the Right Shoes for Diabetes
Diabetic Shoes continued...
Experts also mentioned jogging shoes or walking shoes as good alternatives.
Patients have complained to McGuire that diabetes forces them to wear unfashionable shoes. "They have to change what they wear, how they look a little bit," he says. Some resist. "It's that basic desire just to remain normal, to not admit that they have diabetes or that they have to make some lifestyle changes." But the harm from improper footwear is too serious to chance, he says.
"They don't need to wear granny shoes," Snow adds. "But folks really have to make sure that what they're putting their foot into is not going to give them a problem."
'Shoe Prescription' for Diabetes Patients
If foot circulation or sensation worsens or a patient develops ulcerations, significant deformities, or other serious issues, a podiatrist may need to prescribe therapeutic shoes, or protective footwear and inserts. Medicare covers these treatments.
For example, some patients require "depth shoes" combined with custom-molded inserts to redistribute pressures on the foot. "Most ulcerations that occur on the foot are pressure-related," Giurini says.
"Depth shoes" derive their name from the extra depth to accommodate orthotics.
Patients with extreme foot deformities may need custom-molded shoes, in which the entire shoe is molded from a cast of the patient's foot. "These are for individuals with very severe foot deformities that can't possibly be accommodated in any other shoe gear," Giurini says.
Diabetes patients who are prescribed any types of medical shoes must wear them religiously, McGuire says. He tells of one man undergoing treatment for a hard-to-treat heel ulcer who cast aside his protective boot to walk around the mall in regular shoes. It was Christmastime and "he wanted to have a nice, normal day with his wife," McGuire says. The patient ended up with bone breakdown, a chronic wound, and bone infection that eventually led to amputation of his foot.
"This didn't have to happen if he had continued to follow directions," McGuire says. Diabetes patients "just can't take that risk once they have that loss of sensation."
Is This Normal? Get the Facts Fast!
Your level is currently
If the level is below 70 or you are experiencing symptoms such as shaking, sweating or difficulty thinking, you will need to raise the number immediately. A quick solution is to eat a few pieces of hard candy or 1 tablespoon of sugar or honey. Recheck your numbers again in 15 minutes to see if the number has gone up. If not, repeat the steps above or call your doctor.
People who experience hypoglycemia several times in a week should call their health care provider. It's important to monitor your levels each day so you can make sure your numbers are within the range. If you are pregnant always consult with your health care provider.
Congratulations on taking steps to manage your health.
However, it's important to continue to track your numbers so that you can make lifestyle changes if needed. If you are pregnant always consult with your physician.
Your level is high if this reading was taken before eating. Aim for 70-130 before meals and less than 180 two hours after meals.
Even if your number is high, it's not too late for you to take control of your health and lower your blood sugar.
One of the first steps is to monitor your levels each day. If you are pregnant always consult with your physician.

Who's Behind a New Kotel Chabad Center?
Guma Aguiar, the possibly unstable Israeli sports tycoon!
The last we heard from Guma Aguiar, 33, the profligate Brazilian-born Floridian who for a time underwrote Jerusalem's soccer and basketball teams, he had been involuntarily committed to a psychiatric hospital outside Tel Aviv following a highly public breakdown in which he told the press that he had rescued the Israeli soldier Gilad Schalit from Gaza and was hiding him in an apartment somewhere in Jerusalem. Also, a few days before, Aguiar had told Tablet Magazine that his uncle, the billionaire gold investor and philanthropist Thomas Kaplan, was paying off the United States military and using GPS devices to track Aguiar in connection with an ongoing lawsuit over the proceeds of the $2.55 billion sale of their natural-gas exploration venture, Leor Energy.
Well, that was January 2010. Now, we hear, Aguiar's back in Bal Harbour, where last night he was scheduled to unveil plans for a new visitor center at the Western Wall to be devoted to the Lubavitcher rebbe. Tentatively titled 770 Western Parkway—a nod to the Chabad movement's Brooklyn headquarters at 770 Eastern Parkway—the facility is supposed to offer "substantive food for thought" to people visiting Judaism's holiest site, according to a quote from Aguiar on the Lubavitch Website. "People walk away from the Kotel and are not sure how to translate the spiritual high they feel into something concrete," Aguiar said. "It would allow me to finally gift to others what I have been so fortunate myself to have—a life enriched by the inspiration and impact of the Rebbe."

40 year old man | Riverside, CA, USA | Seeking women 28-38 within 50 miles
Active within 1 week
I've grown up and worked in areas that lack young professional folks, so I'm hoping this resource will allow me to meet such a girl.
I'm a third-generation Japanese American born and raised in the California central valley (farm folks). I went to college at UCLA (Go Bruins!) where I graduated with a degree in Poli Sci; I have a master's degree in International Affairs (foreign policy) focused on East Asia from UC San Diego; and I went to law school at Santa Clara University where I studied International and Comparative Law. I have a deep interest in other cultures (and food!) and languages. I worked for an international non-profit for three years before law school and studied Japanese law in Tokyo for a summer. I'll admit I'm on the serious side, due to the nature of my job, but my friends say that I'm pretty funny (but that I should refrain from any Sean Connery impressions). I grew up in a loving family, with parents that have been married over 40 years, and have a great relationship with my younger brother and sister. I value integrity, appreciation for the little things that we have and what one can do for others, and kindness. Perhaps because of these values that were instilled by my family, I have always tried to work for the benefit of others: in education (learning disabled students), non-profit and the public sector as an attorney. Right now, I work in a not so interesting field of law (as opposed to what I did before, hint: Law Order), but, I am grateful to have a job and wonderful co-workers. My friends would describe me as dedicated (max effort), dependable, patient, hard-working, extremely humble, and personable. Like most people on Match, I'm on here looking for the right person; I'm not interested in playing games because it's a waste of our respective times so: Specifically, I'm looking for a nice kind hearted Asian-American girl (or Asian who speaks fluent English, besides chemistry communication is probably the most important factor in a relationship), professional, values education, honest, not flaky, fun to be with, and really cares about other people and not just herself (tall order, I know). I think the geographic areas that I worked in and the hectic nature of work have prevented me from meeting the type of girl I'm looking for. Alrighty, I think I wrote too much. Feel free to ask me anything.

Baseball, Bowling, Walking / Hiking, Weights / Machines
I exercise 3-4 times per week.
I like Cats, Dogs
growing up we always had a dog and cat as our family pets: there was dooby (terrier-poodle) and tama (bullet in japanese); slugger (terrier-poodle) and mimo; and now my parents have perry (chiuhuhua, i'm sure i spelled that wrong) and tico.

Generally listen to mainstream top 20 music; especially like Linkin Park; Kpop and Jpop; Korean dramas; UCLA sports, though its been tough these past few years; baseball; good ramen; pizza; and the occasional In and Out Burger.

Sides: 8-2 (11-3 dating back to Bowl games)...Strange, after going 6 for our first 8 on the NFL Playoffs I was expecting to crash harder than Jimmy Buffett in Australia last week. Instead we drunkenly, inexplicably and with little or no effort stumbled into more success. Like Charlie Sheen without the chlamydia. I'm sure the Internet community breathlessly awaits our side selection on the Super Bowl, as for our total play well...
Totals: 3-7 (6-8 dating back to Bowl games)...not so much. We were correct on the G.B./Chi. total, but Pittsburgh once again saw their total go over proving that a top defense does not an Under make. In fact the key to most Under plays is the ability to find teams that through defensive ability or offensive ineptitude find ways to turn TDs into FGs. Offenses in today's NFL will get their chances the key is to find those situations where, like the N.Y. Mets, team's are likely to do less with more.

Finally we'll be wrapping this blog shortly after the Super Bowl. I'd like to offer thanks to each and every one of my loyal readers...and sadly with a Schlitz Party Ball and half a bag of Cheetos I probably could. Nonetheless MLB Spring Training begins in two weeks and we figure why not turn our sardonic eye on a business that offers us a plethora of punching bags from Bud Selig's hair to the Triple A squad masquerading as the Pittsburgh Pirates. If you have any ideas for the slant/theme of this effort, such that it will be, feel free to comment here anytime or reach out to us at email@example.com. Selections and miscellany will be up soon so be sure to check back and when the new blog opens we'll have the link right here. Enjoy the NHL All-Star game...it really sneaks up on you, right? See ya for Super Bowl XLV!
