Re: What would you look for in a broker?
One who answers emails and returns calls would be a good start.
When we started looking around to upgrade from 39ft I did the usual search through mags and websites etc. I fired off a fair few emails and onli 1 broker responded. They seemed to be interested in making the sale and followed up with info quickly.
I would certainly consider them if we choose to sell.
It beats me why companies would spend many thousands on a website only to ignore the business it generates [img]/forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]Keep your sunny side up :-)

Re: What would you look for in a broker?

Not every boat but as many as realisticly possible. A statement by the broker saying that they believe the owners comments as to the general condition of the boat to be sound. Not sure how they would comment that they thought the owners comments were bo11ox. Maybe the lack of brokers statement would indicate this?

A couple of close friends are second hand car dealers. Its only since ive been boating that i realised how honest they are!
All IMHO of course.

Re: What would you look for in a broker?
The boat I'm looking at is right outside the brokers office. It was listed as having a hand basin in the heads which isn't there. I jokingly told the broker was he going to ask the owners to fit one as it wasn't a standard item and knowing the size of the heads it jolly well would be a squeeze!
Proximity and quality of listing doesn't go together.

Re: What would you look for in a broker?
I recon the state of the boats they are trying to sell reflects the quality of the broker. A boat may be old and inexpensive, but it should be clean, tidy and prepared for sale. Don't say its up to the owners - a broker does not have to accept the job of selling something below his standard.John

Re: What would you look for in a broker?
From a buying perspective - one who listens when I say I have a maximum budget of £x and sends me boats within my budget and not £x+20%
After traipsing around in the last few months i'd have to say there have only ben a few that have impressed me and being fantastically helpful, truthful and friendly - namely Solent Motor Yachts and brixham boatshed.
I'd also be interested if the boat industry will be following the housing market where the seller provides the survey?Come on folks - support the Royal Tournament:-

I hope not compulsory!, but I would regard it as a big plus to have a recent survey available - or even one 5 years ago is (IMO) better than b#gger all.
Brokers? some I think employ those who have failed to make it as 2nd hand car dealers - but to be fair must be quite hard when half your clientele do know as much if not far more about boats than the salesman. For me I regard them as just a shop window, am not expecting them to "sell" to me, just provide the details and then make the boat available, after all I do appriate that most of them would prefer to be selling something from their Brand new AWB range and that I am only an inconveniance as part of the showrooms efforts to look more "boaty".
I do also despair at some of the Broker efforts online, especially in the CI. Don't any of them ever look at sites like Yachtsnet, Boatshed or when the Yanks sell boats?? Lucky to get 2 lines basically saying "some sort of boat for sale - but I am not sure what exactly" with half the basic details (LOA, Draft, ENgine type, Max and cruising speed) usually not included optional extras.

Re: What would you look for in a broker?
Not just brokerage boats that are dirty. Looked at a £70k 30' boat in the summer that the broker informed was a stock boat and which they were open to a deal on. I rapidly lost interest as it was filthy inside and out, SWMBO would have taken one look and said 'no' purely because it was so dirty. I doubt that anyone had even hosed it down since they took ownership, which wasn't they day or even week before, and they had no excuses as the boat was about 300m from their immaculate offices. Dealer said they'd clean it up before delivery... well how about cleaning it up now I thought, then you might actually sell it! One of the largest and most reputable dealers in the UK too. Was actually quite shocked....Adrian

New research suggests that a potential strategy for treating Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) may be to increase levels of heat shock proteins inside muscle fibers.
Heat shock proteins exist naturally inside cells, where they assist in the folding and unfolding of other proteins. Their levels are increased when cells are exposed to various stresses, such as high temperatures.
The progress of several experimental therapies currently in development for neuromuscular diseases was discussed at MDA's 2012 Clinical Conference, held in Las Vegas March 4-7.
The Muscular Dystrophy Association has awarded $120,000 to Cambridge, Mass.-based Catabasis Pharmaceuticals as part of a strategic partnership under which the pharmaceuticals company will test two compounds called CAT-1004 and CAT-1040 in the mdx research mouse model of Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD).

Techniques are provided for delivering search results pages to the users of a search engine, where one or more search result listings on the search results pages include items that are not included by default. The non-default items may take many forms, including but not limited to images, banners, controls, animations, and even Java applets. The non-default items may be designed to entice the search engine users to select the search result listing with which they are associated over possibly higher-ranked search result listings that contain only default items.
1. A method for delivering search results for searches conducted over a network, the method comprising the steps of:
establishing an association between one or more searchable items and one or more non-default items that are separate from said one or more searchable items;
in response to a search that is initiated at a client on said network, performing the steps of identifying a set of searchable items that satisfy said search;
inspecting a mapping to determine whether any searchable items in said set of searchable items are associated with non-default items; and
delivering search results over said network to said client, wherein said search results include any non-default items that are associated with the searchable items that are in said set of searchable items;
wherein at least one non-default item of the one or more non-default items is an animation.

This is a continuation application of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 09/513,238 filed on Feb. 24, 2000 U.S. Pat. No. 6,564,208 isssued on May 13, 2003; which is incorporated by reference in its entirety for all purposes as if fully set forth herein.
The present invention relates to computer systems and, more particularly, to techniques for delivering non-default items in association with search results.
The Internet, often simply called "the Net," is a worldwide system of computer networks and, in a larger sense, the people using it. The Internet is a public, self-sustaining facility that is accessible to tens of millions of people worldwide. The most widely used part of the Internet is the World Wide Web, often abbreviated "WWW" or simply referred to as just "the Web". The Web is an Internet service that organizes information through the use of hypermedia. The HyperText Markup Language ("HTML") is used to specify the contents and format of a hypermedia document (e.g., a Web page).
In this context, an HTML file is a file that contains the source code for a particular Web page. A Web page is the image that is displayed to a user when a particular HTML file is rendered by a browser application program. Unless specifically stated, an electronic or Web document may refer to either the source code for a particular Web page or the Web page itself.
Each page can contain imbedded references to images, audio, or other Web documents. A user, using a Web browser, browses for information by following references, known as hyperlinks, that are embedded in each of the documents. The HyperText Transfer Protocol ("HTTP") is the protocol used to access a Web document.
Through the use of the Web, individuals have access to millions of pages of information. However a significant drawback with using the Web is that because there is so little organization to the Web, at times it can be extremely difficult for users to locate the particular pages that contain the information that is of interest to them.
To address this problem, a mechanism known as a "search engine" has been developed to index a large number of Web pages and to provide an interface that can be used to search the indexed information by entering certain words or phases to be queried. Indexes are conceptually similar to the normal indexes that are typically found at the end of a book, in that both kinds of indexes comprise an ordered list of information accompanied with the location of the information. Values in one or more columns of a table are stored in an index, which is maintained separately from the actual database table. An "index word set" of a document is the set of words that are mapped to the document in an index. For documents that are not indexed, the index word set is empty.
Although there are many popular Internet search engines, they are generally constructed using the same three common parts. First, each search engine has at least one "spider" that "crawls" across the Internet to locate Web documents around the world. Upon locating a document, the spider stores the document's Uniform Resource Locator (URL), and follows any hyperlinks associated with the document to locate other Web documents. Second, each search engine contains an indexing mechanism that indexes certain information about the documents that were located by the spider. In general, index information is generated based on the contents of the HTML file. The indexing mechanism stores the index information in large databases that can typically hold an enormous amount of information. Third, each search engine provides a search tool that allows users to search the databases in order to locate specific documents that contain information that is of interest to them.
The search engine provides an interface that allows users to specify their search criteria and, after performing a search, an interface for displaying the search results. Typically, the search engine orders the search results prior to presenting the search results interface to the user. The order usually takes the form of a "ranking", where the document with the highest ranking is the document considered most likely to satisfy the interest reflected in the search criteria specified by the user. The specific techniques for determining that ranking will vary from implementation to implementation, and the present invention is not limited to any particular ranking technique.
Once the matching documents have been determined, and the display order of those documents has been determined, the search engine sends to the user that issued the search a "search results page" that presents information about the matching documents in the selected display order. Typically, number of documents that match a search is so large that the user is presented with a search results page that only displays information about the top N ranking documents, where N may be significantly smaller than the total number of matching documents. The search results page typically includes a control that allows the user to retrieve information about the "next N" matching documents, in case the first N matching documents do not entirely satisfy the users interest.
Significantly, the search results pages do not present to users the matching documents themselves, but merely data that identifies the matching documents. The data presented by the search results page for any given matching page is referred to herein as the "search result listing" for the page. The search result listings that are presented by the search results page frequently take the form of text that has been extracted from the documents themselves. For example, search results may present the "title" and "abstract" of each matching web page, where the title and abstract consist of text extracted from corresponding meta-data fields within the web pages. Typically, each search result listing is presented in the form of a hypertext link which, when selected, causes the user's browser to retrieve the corresponding matching document.
Currently, within a given search results page, there is little beyond display order and text description to distinguish one page's search result listing from the search result listing of other web pages. For example, the search result listing for each document is typically all text, where the amount of text cannot exceed a certain limit, and where the text of all entries has the same default attributes (e.g. the same font, the same font size, the same color, etc.) The default text attributes that apply to search result listings are dictated by the search result page, the settings of the browser in which the web page is displayed, or both.
The success of a company can hinge on the frequency at which a company's web page is selected as a matching web page by a popular search engine, and the frequency at which the web page is selected from the search results page on which it is presented. For example, a company that sells chocolates over the Internet is likely to fail if its web page does not match a search that uses the terms "buy chocolate", or if users fail to select the web page when it is listed in the search results. Due to the commercial importance of having search engine users locate and select a company's web page, some web page owners go so far as to stuff their web pages with non-displayed content that is intended to ensure that their pages match popular searches and receive high rankings among the search results.
Based on the foregoing, it is clearly desirable to provide techniques that allow web page owners to entice search engine users to select the search result listings associated with their web pages without employing artifices for artificially increasing the search rank assigned to their web pages.
Techniques are provided for delivering search results pages to the users of a search engine, where one or more search result listings on the search results pages include items that are not included by default. The non-default items may take many forms, including but not limited to images, banners, controls, animations, and even applets in the JAVA language. The non-default items may be designed to entice the search engine users to select the search result listing with which they are associated over possibly higher-ranked search result listings that contain only default items.
The present invention is illustrated by way of example, and not by way of limitation, in the figures of the accompanying drawings and in which like reference numerals refer to similar elements and in which:
FIG. 1A illustrates a browser displaying a search results page in which some of the search result listings include non-default items. The trademarks set forth in this figure are the property of their respective owners. All rights reserved.
FIG. 1B illustrates a browser displaying another search results page in which some of the search result listings include non-default items. The trademarks set forth in this figure are the property of their respective owners. All rights reserved.
FIG. 2 is a block diagram of a computer system that may be used to implement embodiments of the invention.
A method and system are described for providing search results pages that contain non-default items associated with search result listings. In the following description, for the purposes of explanation, numerous specific details are set forth in order to provide a thorough understanding of the present invention. It will be apparent, however, to one skilled in the art that the present invention may be practiced without these specific details. In other instances, well-known structures and devices are shown in block diagram form in order to avoid unnecessarily obscuring the present invention.
Techniques are provided for delivering search results pages to the users of a search engine, where one or more search result listings on the search results pages include items that are not included by default. The non-default items may take many forms, including but not limited to images, banners, controls, animations, and even applets in the JAVA language. The non-default items may be designed to entice the search engine users to select the search result listing with which they are associated over possibly higher-ranked search result listings that contain only default items.
The party that controls the search engine may charge web page owners in a manner similar to the publishers of directories such as the YELLOW PAGES. For example, web page owners may subscribe to have a graphic that depicts their logo associated with their web page, or with an entire domain. The amount charged by the search engine controller may vary based on a variety of factors, including the size and type of the non-default items that web page owners desire to associate with the search result listings for their pages. Instead of or in addition to a subscription fee for associating non-default items with search result listings, search engine provider may also charge click-through fees based on how many times the search engine users actually select a search result listing that is associated with a non-default item.
By providing web page owners the ability to compete for the attention of the users of a search engine through the use of non-default content, the incentive for those web page owners to employ artificial means to obtain higher search rankings is reduced. Consequently, the integrity and accuracy of search engine results may improve.
A variety of techniques may be used to establish associations between search result listings and non-default items. For example, a company may pay a yearly subscription fee to have a particular graphic, such as a company logo, associated with the home page of the company. To facility such subscriptions, the search engine provider may establish a web server for receiving such subscriptions over the Internet. The web server presents users with a web page that includes interface controls for specifying a web page, and for specifying the non-default item(s) to associate with the web page. The web page may include, for example, controls for indicating that the search result listing for the page should be shown in bold, in a particular font, and/or in a font of a particular size. The web page may also include controls for uploading other types of non-default items. For example, the web page may include controls that allow the subscriber to upload a graphic, an audio file, an applet in the JAVA language, or a movie file.
Once the subscriber has identified the web page and specified or uploaded the non-default items to be associated with the web page, the web server stores the non-default items, and/or metadata that identifies any specified non-default text attributes, on a storage device that is accessible by the search engine.
According to one embodiment, an index value is generated for each web page for which a subscription has been created by applying a hash function to data that uniquely identifies the web page, such as the URL of the web page. A "subscribed web page index" is established that allows each web page to be located and efficiently retrieved from the storage device based on the index value thus generated for the web page.
Instead of or in addition to web-page-specific subscriptions, a mechanism is provided which allows domain-specific subscriptions. For example, a company may have registered the domain mycompany.com. The company could obtain a subscription that associates a graphic representing the logo of the company with the domain name. In response to the subscription request, the graphic is stored on a storage device accessible to the search engine, and indexed in a "subscribed domain names index" based on the domain name.
The actual location at which the non-default items are stored, and the retrieval mechanism used to deliver the non-default items on the appropriate search results pages, will vary from implementation to implementation. For example, in another embodiment, the non-default items are stored in the same database or directory that is used by the search engine to store the default listings for searchable items. The search engine uses an index to determine the searchable items that satisfy a search, and retrieves from the same database both the default listings and the non-default items associated with those searchable items that satisfy the search.
After a subscription has been received for a particular web page or domain, the associated non-default items are delivered whenever the search results include search result listings that correspond to the web page or domain. Specifically, after identifying the matching documents and prior to delivering the search results to a search engine user, the search engine (1) performs lookups in the subscribed web page index using index values generated based on the web pages represented in the search results and/or (2) performs lookups in the subscribed domain names index using index values generated based on the domain names of the web pages represented in the search results. If the lookup operations locate any non-default items that have been associated with any of the search results, then those non-default items are included in the search results web page that is delivered to the search engine user.
FIG. 1A illustrates a browser that is displaying a search results page that includes search result listings that include non-default items. Specifically, listings 1 and 5 include graphic images and/or text 140 a, 140 b, respectively, with non-default attributes. It should be noted that certain portions of all listings are underlined, and may appear in a different color than other text. However, even those portions constitute "default" in that they merely reflect the default attributes for the type of elements that they are (i.e. hypertext links). For example, default items 110 each contain a listing number, an underlined title, a text block of limited size, and an underlined link.
FIG. 1B illustrates a browser that is displaying another search results page that includes search result listings that include non-default items. Specifically, listing 1 includes a graphic image 150 a, and listing 5 includes a banner 150 b. Selection of the banner may cause retrieval of the web page associated with the listing, or an entirely different web page._Default items 120 are similar to default items 110, described above.
Certain types of non-default items, such as graphics, are included in the search results page by embedding tags to such items in the web page. When a browser decodes such tags, the browser retrieves the items, and displays the retrieved items at the appropriate locations within the web page. When the non-default item is text with one or more non-default font attributes, the non-default item may simply be included in the search result web page by storing font attribute information at locations within the search result web page to cause all or a portion of the appropriate search result listing to display those non-default attributes.
In some implementations, the party that provides the front end to the search engine is a different party than the party that controls the search engine. In such implementations, the search engine may provide the non-default items along with the standard search result listings to the front end provider, and the front end provider includes both the standard search result listings and the non-default items in the search results page that it delivers to the user.
There is virtually no limit to types of non-default items that can be displayed with the search result listings associated with web pages. For example, the items may be active, passive, visual, audio, may reflect the content of the associated web page or may have no logical relationship with the associated web page. Consequently, there is virtually no limit to the uses that such non-default items can be put. A typically use of such non-default items would be to entice the search engine user to select the associated page. Graphics, animations, sounds, non-default text styles may all serve this purpose. However, other less-conventional uses are also possible. For example, web page owner that sells items over the Internet may pay a search engine provider to associated a "click-to-buy" button for an item with the web page that describes the item. Consequently, when that web page satisfies the results of a search, the search result listing that is presented to the search engine user will include the click-to-buy button.
The techniques described herein have been described in an embodiment in which the search domain is web documents on the World Wide Web. However, the techniques are not limited to searches performed in this domain. For example, search engines used to locate electronic items within any intranet or extranet network may also effectively employ the techniques. Further, the searchable items are not limited to web pages, but may include other types of electronic files, such as text files, word processing documents, graphics or even sound files. When the search is for non-text items such as graphics, the default search result listing for the items may include, for example, thumbnails of the graphics. However, the techniques provided herein allow non-default material that is separate and distinct from the search items themselves to be associated with the listings. For example, a company may associate its logo with a set of images that the company has created. When one of those images is listed in the results page of a image-based search engine, the search engine includes the logo in the listing.
FIG. 2 is a block diagram that illustrates a computer system 200 upon which an embodiment of the invention may be implemented. Computer system 200 includes a bus 202 or other communication mechanism for communicating information, and a processor 204 coupled with bus 202 for processing information. Computer system 200 also includes a main memory 206, such as a random access memory (RAM) or other dynamic storage device, coupled to bus 202 for storing information and instructions to be executed by processor 204. Main memory 206 also may be used for storing temporary variables or other intermediate information during execution of instructions to be executed by processor 204. Computer system 200 further includes a read only memory (ROM) 208 or other static storage device coupled to bus 202 for storing static information and instructions for processor 204. A storage device 210, such as a magnetic disk or optical disk, is provided and coupled to bus 202 for storing information and instructions.
Computer system 200 may be coupled via bus 202 to a display 212, such as a cathode ray tube (CRT), for displaying information to a computer user. An input device 214, including alphanumeric and other keys, is coupled to bus 202 for communicating information and command selections to processor 204. Another type of user input device is cursor control 216, such as a mouse, a trackball, or cursor direction keys for communicating direction information and command selections to processor 204 and for controlling cursor movement on display 212. This input device typically has two degrees of freedom in two axes, a first axis (e.g., x) and a second axis (e.g., y), that allows the device to specify positions in a plane.
The invention is related to the use of computer system 200 for implementing the techniques described herein. According to one embodiment of the invention, those techniques are implemented by computer system 200 in response to processor 204 executing one or more sequences of one or more instructions contained in main memory 206. Such instructions may be read into main memory 206 from another computer-readable medium, such as storage device 210. Execution of the sequences of instructions contained in main memory 206 causes processor 204 to perform the process steps described herein. In alternative embodiments, hard-wired circuitry may be used in place of or in combination with software instructions to implement the invention. Thus, embodiments of the invention are not limited to any specific combination of hardware circuitry and software.
The term "computer-readable medium" as used herein refers to any medium that participates in providing instructions to processor 204 for execution. Such a medium may take many forms, including but not limited to, non-volatile media, volatile media, and transmission media. Non-volatile media includes, for example, optical or magnetic disks, such as storage device 210. Volatile media includes dynamic memory, such as main memory 206. Transmission media includes coaxial cables, copper wire and fiber optics, including the wires that comprise bus 202. Transmission media can also take the form of acoustic or light waves, such as those generated during radio-wave and infra-red data communications.
Common forms of computer-readable media include, for example, a floppy disk, a flexible disk, hard disk, magnetic tape, or any other magnetic medium, a CD-ROM, any other optical medium, punchcards, papertape, any other physical medium with patterns of holes, a RAM, a PROM, and EPROM, a FLASH-EPROM, any other memory chip or cartridge, a carrier wave as described hereinafter, or any other medium from which a computer can read.
Various forms of computer readable media may be involved in carrying one or more sequences of one or more instructions to processor 204 for execution. For example, the instructions may initially be carried on a magnetic disk of a remote computer. The remote computer can load the instructions into its dynamic memory and send the instructions over a telephone line using a modem. A modem local to computer system 200 can receive the data on the telephone line and use an infra-red transmitter to convert the data to an infra-red signal. An infra-red detector can receive the data carried in the infra-red signal and appropriate circuitry can place the data on bus 202. Bus 202 carries the data to main memory 206, from which processor 204 retrieves and executes the instructions. The instructions received by main memory 206 may optionally be stored on storage device 210 either before or after execution by processor 204.
Computer system 200 also includes a communication interface 218 coupled to bus 202. Communication interface 218 provides a two-way data communication coupling to a network link 220 that is connected to a local network 222. For example, communication interface 218 may be an integrated services digital network (ISDN) card or a modem to provide a data communication connection to a corresponding type of telephone line. As another example, communication interface 218 may be a local area network (LAN) card to provide a data communication connection to a compatible LAN. Wireless links may also be implemented. In any such implementation, communication interface 218 sends and receives electrical, electromagnetic or optical signals that carry digital data streams representing various types of information.
Network link 220 typically provides data communication through one or more networks to other data devices. For example, network link 220 may provide a connection through local network 222 to a host computer 224 or to data equipment operated by an Internet Service Provider (ISP) 226. ISP 226 in turn provides data communication services through the world wide packet data communication network now commonly referred to as the "Internet" 228. Local network 222 and Internet 228 both use electrical, electromagnetic or optical signals that carry digital data streams. The signals through the various networks and the signals on network link 220 and through communication interface 218, which carry the digital data to and from computer system 200, are exemplary forms of carrier waves transporting the information.
Computer system 200 can send messages and receive data, including program code, through the network(s), network link 220 and communication interface 218. In the Internet example, a server 230 might transmit a requested code for an application program through Internet 228, ISP 226, local network 222 and communication interface 218. In accordance with the invention, one such downloaded application implements the techniques described herein.
The received code may be executed by processor 204 as it is received, and/or stored in storage device 210, or other non-volatile storage for later execution. In this manner, computer system 200 may obtain application code in the form of a carrier wave.
In the foregoing specification, the invention has been described with reference to specific embodiments thereof. It will, however, be evident that various modifications and changes may be made thereto without departing from the broader spirit and scope of the invention. The specification and drawings are, accordingly, to be regarded in an illustrative rather than a restrictive sense.

Turmoil over missing coal block allocation files and the recent hike in fuel prices led to three adjournments of the Lok Sabha on Tuesday, with opposition members shouting slogans and trooping into the Well.
Uproarious scenes were repeatedly witnessed since the House for the day, with Trinamool Congress and Left members agitating against the hike in fuel and onion prices.
Leader of the Opposition Sushma Swaraj demanded that the Prime Minister should make a statement in the House over the missing files on Tuesday itself as he will leave on Wednesday for St Petersburg for the G-20 Summit.
"Today is the only day left for the Prime Minister to speak. The Parliamentary Affairs had assured us that the Coal Minister will reply and PM will intervene. The promise should be fulfilled today," she said.
BJP members were on their feet shouting "PM jawab do" (PM reply) on the missing coal files issue, as members of the Left parties and the Trinamool Congress were in the Well raising slogans against fuel and onion price hike.
TDP leader Namo Nageshwar Rao was also in the Well trying to raise the issue of privilege notice given by him against Congress members Sandeep Dikshit and Madhu Yakshi Goud for allegedly threatening TDP members.
Speaker Meira Kumar informed the House that Mr. Rao's privilege notice was under her consideration. She also said Congress member Ponnam Prabhakar's privilege notice against some TDP members for using unparliamentary language was also under consideration.
Amid din, Ms. Kumar adjourned the House till noon.
Similar uproarious scenes were witnessed again when the House reassembled with Left and TMC members walking into the Well and BJP members raising slogans on the same issues.
Within minutes, M. Thambidurai, who was in the Chair, adjourned the proceedings for 30 minutes.
It was repeat of the unruly scenes when Lok Sabha met again, forcing him to adjourn the House till 2 p.m.

Algeta Announces First US Patient Randomized in ALSYMPCA Phase III Study at Tulane Cancer Center, New Orleans
cancer therapeutics company, announces that the first clinical center in the
US, the Tulane Cancer Center,
in the phase III clinical study of Alpharadin in men with
castration-resistant (also known as hormone-refractory) prostate cancer
(CRPC) that has metastasized to the skeleton.
The ALSYMPCA (ALpharadin in SYMptomatic Prostate CAncer) study is a
double-blind, randomized, controlled trial that enrols patients with CRPC and
symptomatic bone metastases who will be randomized to receive Alpharadin
(radium-223 chloride) plus best standard of care or placebo plus best
standard of care. Approximately 750 patients are expected to be enrolled at
more than 125 medical centers worldwide. Algeta expects to enroll patients
across up to 15 sites in the US. Global recruitment remains on schedule and
is expected to be complete by the second half of 2010.
The Principal Investigator of the ALSYMPCA study in the US is Dr.
Urology at
medical centers in the US.
Dr. Sartor is an internationally recognized medical oncologist with an
interest in prostate cancer from both a basic research and clinical
perspective. He is chair-elect of the US Department of Defense Prostate
Cancer Integration Panel and is co-editor-in-chief of the peer-reviewed
journal Clinical Genitourinary Cancer. He is also the current medical
oncology chair of the Genitourinary Cancer Committee of the Radiation
Oncology Treatment Group, a leading US multicenter research organization
testing novel radiotherapy approaches against cancer.
Dr Sartor commented: "Alpharadin works by targeting and destroying cancer
cells in the bone while sparing healthy bone marrow tissue. If successful in
clinical trials, this compound could make a significant difference for the
large number of men whose cancer has spread to the bones. Patients most often
die as a consequence of the metastases – not the primary cancer – so
preventing cancer from spreading and controlling cancer that has spread is a
major clinical challenge."
Physicians interested in referring a qualified patient may go to

ALSYMPCA phase III study in the US and especially excited to be working with
Dr. Sartor, an internationally recognized prostate cancer expert at the
Tulane Cancer Center, one of the world's leading cancer hospitals. The
enrolment of patients into US clinical centers is an important step in the
overall clinical development of Alpharadin and we expect further US clinical
centers to come online in the coming months."

LONDON (ICIS)--European demand for methyl methacrylate (MMA) is tapering off as is expected for the time of year, and the spot range is €10/tonne lower on the high end, sources said on Friday.
Spot prices are now at €1,580-1,620/tonne ($2,164-2,219/tonne) FD (free delivered) NWE (northwest Europe).
"Business is very slow," one trader said.
Following the settlement of the upstream propylene contract for December at an increase, another trader said: "I can't see many buyers wanting to buy spot at a higher price than in November. It [the spot market] seems to be getting very long."
Destocking is now taking place as players are focused on reducing inventories ahead of year-end to lower working capital.
Nearly all MMA is polymerised to make homopolymers and copolymers, with the largest application being the casting, moulding or extrusion of polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) or modified polymers.

Choosing Genetically Engineered Crops
Friday - 7/9/2010, 11:54am EDT
A new USDA report says American farmers continue to choose genetically engineered crops over their conventional counterparts.
A July USDA Economic Research Service report finds the rate of adoption of Genetically Engineered soybeans is up to 93 percent this year; the adoption of all Genetically Engineered cotton climbed to 93 percent; and the adoption of all biotech corn reached 86 percent in 2010.
An April report from the National Research Council notes, many U.S. farmers who grow genetically engineered crops are realizing substantial economic and environmental benefits - such as lower production costs, fewer pest problems, reduced use of pesticides, and better yields.
In 2009, 330 million acres of biotech crops were planted in 25 countries by 14 million farmers.

I had Activefx yesterday and have brown dots all over my face today. Is this normal? Thanks
Active FX Side Effects - is It Normal to Have Brown Dots the Day After Treatment?
Doctor Answers 2
Brown dots
The brown dots can be one of two things.
1. You are not applying adequate amounts of Vaseline and the skin is too dry. Apply more.
2. It can be sun damage. Severe sun damage skin will have a deep brown coloration on the area that had the laser procedure. Still apply the Vaseline.
Have a question? Ask a doctor
It's normal to have brown dots within 2 days of Fractional CO2 laser

Kate Beckinsale. She is the perfect combo of sexiness, cuteness, girl next door.
While EgoReader 'Will' clearly did not get the ten word limit in the contest, we really wouldn't be the adults we promised ourselves we would be as scolded kids if we didn't allow people to break the rules just a bit. Heck, if we were meter maids and somebody came back to their car five minutes late with an excuse, we'd tear up that ticket instead of lying and saying that it was 'already in the system'.
We strive not to be hypocrites. Or to be neglectful of the beauty of the 'girl next door' Will believes the sweetly MILFtastic Kate Beckinsale possesses. We kind of agree, although, as it happens, the girl next door to us is missing her front teeth and dead-lifts 400 lbs, so Kate Beckinsale would be the girl next door to us in our dreams. And, likely, yours.
Take a look at ten of our more delectable pictures of Hot Mama Kate and fill your reproductive cornucopias with the spirit of the season.

Spain gets first glimpse of PM's goth daughters
- By Bobby PierceBobby Pierce is an editorial researcher at Foreign Policy.
The United States State Department got a crash course in the perils of social networking over the weekend.
Spanish Prime Minister José Luis Zapatero and his family posed for a picture with Barack and Michelle Obama at the U.N. What the Zapateros didn't know was that the picture would be posted online to the State Department's Flickr page. This wouldn't normally be a problem, except that the people of Spain have never seen any pictures of the prime minister's daughters before.
Spanish Goths/Punks approve of the picture because, well, let's say the girls appear to shop at Hot Topic. (Asunto Caliente?)
Spanish media was conflicted over the photo, many of them published it on the front page; however the state-owned news agency, EFE, did not run the photo. EFE said, "They should not have their personal rights prejudiced by the prime minister's decision to take them to New York."
The prime minister's office was trying to get all of the photos down, claiming he tries to keep his children out of the public eye. A noble cause, it seems there should be some middle ground between the Spanish case and this.

High levels of excitement, for varying reasons, surrounded the Bishop Ludden basketball team's encounters with Skaneateles on Tuesday night.
For the boys Gaelic Knights, it was simply the matter of getting into a close, tense affair with the visiting Lakers that wasn't resolved until the buzzer as Ludden pulled out a 55-53 win.
Meanwhile, at Skaneateles, the girls Gaelic Knights ran into a familiar face on the other sideline and handled it with cool precision, riding Kayla Kibling's hot shooting past the Lakers 54-42.
From a timing standpoint, the Skaneateles boys were in a good spot, refreshed from a week-long break, while Ludden was coming off a big 63-53 win at Bishop Grimes on Jan. 6 that required an all-out effort.
Sure enough, the Lakers played a superb first half as, led by Brandon Barron's hot shooting and an effective defense, it steadily built a 28-21 advantage.
But Ludden (7-2) turned it around in the third quarter, leaning on the sophomore duo of Ben Hackett and Dan Kaigler to zoom into a 42-39 lead. Hackett would finish with 20 points, while Kaigler put up 15 points.
All through the final period, it went back and forth. Ludden clung to a 52-50 lead when, with 30 seconds left, Barron drained a 3-pointer to put Skaneateles back in front. It gave Barron 24 points for the night.
Keeping cool, Ludden, trailing by one, worked it inside to Kaigler, whose basket with 11 seconds to play put the Gaelic Knights back in front. Then the hosts got lucky, as the Lakers were unable to convert an open close-up shot in the waning seconds.
Fouled with 1.7 seconds left, Nick Walker made the first free throw, and by missing the second, he gave the Lakers time to do nothing else but attempt a desperation shot that fell off target at the buzzer.

The photos and critiques of Lady Gaga's choice of footwear are all over the Internet, but there's no question about it – these hoof-like shoes she wore to her sister's graduation are truly FEARLESS. I admire her for her bold, in-your-face attitude, and while she apparently had no trouble walking in these monstrosities, those shoes are just asking for an accident. I mean, what if anything is appealing about these heelless shoes? And I think it's pretty inappropriate to wear something like this to your sister's graduation, no matter who you are:

Dunton said the defendant forced himself on the 11-year-old girl and threatened to kill the victim and her mother if the girl ever told anyone.
The child confided to her step-mother.

travel now thru flying is more cheaper "if you book your tickets much earlier" than sailing and much faster, say if your from davao, Davao Cebu fare is only 1,230.00 while taking the ship from davao to cebu cost you more and have to travel for almost 36 hours. Or if from Cagayan de Oro city boat fare is almost 800.00 excluding meals and travel time is almost 12 hours. Have a connecting flight eighter from Davao-Cebu-Pwerto Pincesa or Cagayan De oro - Cebu Pwerto Princesa if you 're somewhere in Mindanao.

Gellar along for thrill ride in "Addicted"
By Nicole Sperling
LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) – Hoping to continue her
winning streak in the genre business, Sarah Michelle Gellar has
signed to star in the Hitchcockian thriller "Addicted."
The independently financed project centers on a woman whose
husband and brother-in-law both end up in a coma after an
accident. When the brother awakes, claiming to be her husband,
she must try to understand the reality, suspecting something
more sinister is at work.
The story is based on the 2002 South Korean film "Jungdok."
Swedish filmmakers Joel Bergvall and Simon Sandquist will
direct. The film is set for an October start.
Gellar, former star of the TV series "Buffy the Vampire
Slayer," will be in theaters October 13 with "The Grudge 2″ and
then November 10 with the supernatural thriller "The Return."
She recently wrapped production on "The Girls' Guide to Hunting
and Fishing."

The Caps are way better than 3-6.

Washington Capitals center Michael Latta went to his first Redskins game tonight. Treated by "Uncle @GreenLife52," Latta joined injured forward Tom Wilson and sorta-injured defenseman Mike Green at Fedex Field.
Nice photobomb, kid. (Photo credit: @Ovi8)
With the day off and some time to kill, Washington Capitals captain Alex Ovechkin traveled once again to FedEx Field to watch Washington's game against the Chicago Bears. Ovi didn't tailgate this time, but for good reason.
He was sitting up in the club level with some guy named Andriy Shevchenko. He is apparently super-famous outside of America.

The Washington football team plays the Philadelphia Eagles tonight on Monday Night Football and someone special is in the house: Washington Capitals captain Alex Ovechkin. While that news is pretty cool, this tidbit may blow your mind: Ovi was tailgating with fans before the game started. Name one MVP from any other sport that would do this.
Wearing a Robert Griffin III jersey and a matching red hat with his own personal logo, Ovechkin was captured by multiple Twitter'ers mingling in the FedEx Field parking lot before heading inside for the game. Despite celebrating his two-year anniversary today, fiancée Maria Kirilenko was not there with him.
Below: photos!
Former Capitals beat-writer Tarik El-Bashir takes a picture of former Capitals coach Bruce Boudreau. Weiiiiiird.
On Saturday night, Bruce Boudreau returned to Giant Center for the first time since he was head coach of the Washington Capitals to watch the Anaheim Ducks' AHL affiliate, the Norfolk Admirals, take on the Bears. Sitting with friend and former boss Bears' general manager Doug Yingst, Boudreau got to see Norfolk rout Hershey 5-1 and witness one of his former players nearly check enforcer Jay Rosehill into the team's bench. Well with Norfolk set to take on Hershey at the Verizon Center on Thursday for the AHL Showcase, Boudreau stayed in the area, and tonight the former Jack Adams award-winner showed up on the sidelines of the Washington Redskins Monday Night Football game against the New York Giants. Aww, he looks so jolly.
So the question is: are you guys happy to see him back?
Few things are as quintessentially American as government contractors — except of course for John Carlson.
Here, Captain America helps sell us on technology firm Force 3. All this is as part of a new ad campaign by the company, with other star athletes taking part. Wait, does Joey Chestnut count?
So what do you guys thing of Carlson's acting debut, and how does it stack up to Ovi's fantastic natural talent for the art?
S/T to a fan post on Japers' Rink by bagace.
Mega-sports-celebrities LeBron James and Dale Earnhardt Jr. were at the Redskins Cowboys game tonight. One rooted for the good guys and one rooted for the bad guys. That's cool and all, but we here at RMNB don't give a crap about them. (Though Dale Jr. was awesome in that one Three Doors Down video.) What we care about are guys with character. Guys who will take out my trash if I need them too. Guys who will awkwardly attempt 70 yard field goals with pucks on a wooden platform while in really tight polo shirts. So when we saw that Stecks and Kanoobs were hanging out at tonight's Skins game via a Ross Hollebon photo, we had to put it up.
S/T to Melissa (@Love4Greenie) who first alerted us to this photo.
Since this weekend brought us so many freakishly weird things, like my mother getting a "Slanket" (a rip off version of the Snuggie) for Christmas, we decided to just put up a few of the awesome things we observed. Prepare yourself.

I have a degree in Business and Economics and work part time doing cost projections, accounting, process streamlining and assisting the administration of a large janitorial company in San Salvador, El Salvador. I excel at writing down processes and business plans, and I'm helping the aforementioned company implement procedures under the ISO 9001 norm. I'm well adept at using MS Excel, Access, and Visio as tools for my work. I'm also trilingual: I know English, Spanish, and French, with knowledge of basic Mandarin as well (it's a work in progress). Languages are a passion, so I often tutor friends/acquaintances wanting to learn Spanish/English in my free time and enjoy translating in general. Studying for my degree and taking courses in photography, culinary arts, gardening, and music in English, Spanish, and French has expanded my vocabulary in these three languages, enabling me to be a fast and accurate translator, with impeccable writing style (I use Strunk & White for English). As a curious fact about me, I enjoy classical music (opera) and have been training almost 4 years to sing it. So I'm also up for the odd singing or voice-over job.

Gov't troops seize NPA camp in Camarines Norte; 2 soldiers hurt
Two soldiers were injured as government forces seized a New People's Army camp Sunday afternoon in Camarines Norte, the military said on Monday.
Major Angelo Guzman of the Army's 9th Infantry Division said the soldiers were conducting security patrol around 4:15 p.m. when they chanced upon the rebel camp at Sitio Palale in Exciban village in Labo town.
The NPA camp had bunkers, equipped with huts and bleachers and scattered food. Blood stains were also all over the camp.
The camp was captured after an encounter of about an hour and a half between 20 rebels and 25 soldiers.
The wounded soldiers were identified as Private First Class Dexter Debil and Donhel Catangay.
A medical team picked up the casualties, Guzman said.
"Since the arrest of Camarines Norte's top NPA leader Nancy Ortega on Feb. 5, stricter security measures for the Bayanihan teams are being implemented as the NPA will make desperate attacks to avenge the arrest of their leader," said Guzman. –Frances Mangosing, INQUIRER.net
