As a reminder today's call is being recorded for replay purposes. I would now like to turn the call over to your host for today, Mr. Ian Clements, Head of the Investor Relations. Please proceed, sir.
Ian Clements
Thanks, Karis and good afternoon everybody. I'd like to welcome you to our fiscal fourth quarter and year-end conference call.
We once again delivered solid revenue and prescription growth which is a good indicator of our business moment. To discuss this and other topics, including clinical trial updates, I'm joined today by several members in our leadership team. Our President and CEO, Keith Katkin will lead the call today by providing a brief strategic overview of our business. After Keith, our VP of Finance, Christine Ocampo will review our quarterly results and provide guidance for our new fiscal year. Our Chief Commercial Officer, Rohan Palekar will highlight NUEDEXTA performance followed by Dr. Joao Siffert, Chief Scientific Officer who will provide a pipeline update. For the Q&A portion of today's call we'll also be joined by Greg Flesher, our Chief Business Officer.
During the course of this conference call we will be making certain forward-looking statements. These statements are subject to numerous risks and uncertainties and reflect our current expectations and judgments. Examples of these forward-looking statements include statements relating to our expectations for NUEDEXTA sales and revenue growth, future expense levels, the timing and success of our future development of AVP923 and AVP786 for other indications, the potential approval of NUEDEXTA in new markets and risks relating to our pending NUEDEXTA patent litigation.
Actual results could vary materially from the results anticipated by these statements. Investors should read the risk factors set forth in Avanir's Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2012 and subsequent periodic reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
So with that said, I'd now turn the call over to Keith Katkin. Keith?
Keith Katkin
Thank you Ian and good afternoon everyone and thank you for joining our call today. As you may have seen from our results announced earlier today, we have continued to make great progress with both our commercial and research and development activities. Our comments today will focus on our current sales momentum, our research and development programs and several key milestones in the coming 12 to 18 months that we believe can generate clear shareholder value.
In terms of fourth quarter results, we again posted solid net revenue growth through strong commercial execution while focusing on expense management. We're particularly pleased with the strength we are seeing in our overall business and we continue to deliver record prescriptions, the most recent of which annualized over $70 million in gross sales.
In addition, we're continuing to advance our pipeline in several key areas of unmet medical need. NUEDEXTA or AVP-923 as it's known in the clinic, is now in the clinic with programs that explore behavioral disorders in Alzheimer's disease and autism, neuropathic pain in multiple sclerosis and movement disorders in Parkinson's. We have also moved Dextromethorphan, now known as AVP-786 into the clinic less than a year from announcing the acquisition of the asset.
Before I turn the call over to Christine to discuss our financials, I'd like to take a moment to thank all of our staff for their dedication and hard work over the past year. We have made significant progress across all aspects of our business during the fiscal year and it's through their efforts and dedication that we're able to deliver important new therapies for patients and ultimately deliver value to our shareholders.
With that, let me turn the call over to Christine for the financial review.
Christine Ocampo
Thanks Keith and good afternoon everyone. In addition to the financial results summarized in the press release issued earlier this afternoon, you can find additional information, including full-year information in our upcoming Form 10-K which will be filed by Friday.
This was a strong finish to the fiscal year for us. We reported total net revenue for the fourth fiscal quarter of 2012 of $13.5 million, as compared to $4.8 million for the comparable period in fiscal 2011, a year over year growth of over 180%.
For the fourth fiscal quarter of 2012, we reported a record gross product sales of NUEDEXTA of $15.4 million and record net sales of NUEDEXTA of $12.4 million.
During the quarter ended September 30, 2012, our gross to net discount increased to 19.7%, compared to 17.7% in the prior quarter. The 2% increase in gross to net discount was mostly driven by mandated government rebate. Going forward, we expect the gross to net discount to increase as we continue entering into contracts with managed care entities, enabling increased patient access and reductions in prior authorization requirements. We believe the gross to net discount will stabilize over time somewhere between 20% and 25%, excluding the impact of any future price increases.

You want serious? This is it! No wimps here. This thing isn't alloy, it's solid steel and you can feel it when carrying it around too long. Built like a tank with double slide rails. Barrel is 18 1/2" and it holds 6 rounds of 00 Buck, 0000 Buck or a very mean slug. Cycles smooth and pourposeful and oh, that beautiful sound that turns criminals blood colder than a norther snowstorm is loud and clear. All business here. Qualified with it last @ 100% in rapid fire, dead on and authoritive, easy to reload. Vented recoil pad helps absorb those heavy, rapid fire loads. Bought this locally priced @ $169. It has sling swivels attached, synthetic, parkarized finish, non-reflective black and it don't take prisoners. Need backup, here's a good Pardner.

I bought this for my first shotgun. It's super heavy but very solid. the only problem i've had with it is finding parts, i.e. forend lights and what not, for it. however it's a great shotgun. i got mine for alittle less than 200. i think i got mind for 167 w/ tax? maybe? it's been awhile and many guns ago.

I bought this shotgun locally after my wife showed it to me and asked if I had one yet. I picked it up for $170. It's short length makes throwing it behind the seat in my regular cab pickup easy. It's basically an 870 clone so most 870 parts fit it, except 870 barrels, they won't fit. Very reliable and tough.

I went HD shotgun shopping over at Acedemy Sports a few days ago, I took a look at the Mossberg and Remington 870 $300+ for both and then the guy showed me the H&R Pardner Protector, it was the first time I picked one up. The first thing that impressed me was its heft, it is a solid, solid piece of steel, the last HD shotgun I had was an Ithaca 8-shot M&P, a great gun for sure, a light weight that I carried mainly on Kodiak Island Alaska for bear defence, so the lighter gun was nice. As I won't be dragging the H&R around the woods the weight feels great, What!! $189!! SOLD!!
I took it home and put about 20 rounds of 00 and 000 buck both 2 3/4 and 3" shells, no problem with the 3", the solid heft takes up the recoil just fine, I don't think you'll find a better HD shotgun for this price, I live and work in New Orleans so a sling next just in case I need to lug it around again in some "post-Katrina type lunacy"

This is a great value shotgun. Built like a tank and operates very smoothly. The only thing that bothered me was that scope rails listed for this shotgun don't fit as advertised. The receiver has a recessed area on top but the scope mounts are made to fit a round surface. The screws are too short. Once you find proper length screws, the mount is solid. When I called H&R/NEF and asked if accessories for the 870 or any other shotgun would fir, I was told no.
Regardless, I mounted a rail and a Burris FastFire red dot sight. Sweet!!!!! It love everything I feed it from 2 3/4' and 3' slugs to bird shot. I do believe they got it right. If 870 accessories fit, that's a bonus.

Awesome shotgun for the money... and "almost" all Remington 870 parts will fit it except for the receiver rail which I can't seem to find ANYWHERE! Anyone know of a site to purchase one so I can mount some new sights???

great great gun... no complaints at all... as for the mounts. I have a 870 receiver plate adapter on mine.. works great.... they do make a few mods for the gun... but not to many.. I picked mine up used but never fired for 100.00... Here is a link to a site that has a few parts.. f you need anything i have a few more sites.. and again as another member stated the barrels will not fit.. but you can add in a slip in choke..

My work centers on primary care measurement, innovation, and delivery reform, both in the US and globally. I have a particular focus on the implementation and evaluation of team-based models of primary care such as the patient-centered medical home. I also work on new models and measurement techniques for primary care provision in low-income settings globally. In the past, I studied the epidemiology and control of non-communicable diseases in low and middle income countries, with a special focus on global tobacco control.
In addition to my appointments at the Division of General Medicine at Brigham and Women's Hospital and the Department of Health Care Policy at Harvard Medical School, I work with Ariadne Labs as the Associate Program Director for the Primary Health Care Performance Initiative. This joint effort with the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, World Bank, along with Results for Development, aims to measure in both traditional and novel ways primary care functions and performance within low and middle income partner countries, with the goal of understanding variation in performance and tailoring improvement initiatives to address performance gaps.
I am also a member of the Harvard Medical School (HMS) Center for Primary Care, where I was the Faculty Lead for Transformation Strategy and Design, leading the Academic Innovations Collaborative. This 2-year, $14 million collaborative of 19 HMS-affiliated clinics started in July 2012 focused on transforming Harvard-affiliated primary care teaching practices and developing new models of academic and community team-based primary care. It will continue for two more years starting in July 2014 as a learning collaborative focused on melding primary care practice transformation with patient safety initiatives to reduce missed and delayed diagnoses.
I also serve currently as a Senior Advisor to the Comprehensive Primary Care initiative at the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Innovation. This national multi-payer initiative launched in 2012 combines payment reform and practice redesign to transform nearly 500 primary care practices in 8 states over 4 years with the overarching goal of improving quality of care, patient experience, and reducing costs.
I practice primary care medicine and am the Assistant Medical Director at the Brigham and Women's Advanced Primary Care Associates, South Huntington, a patient-centered medical home practice in Jamaica Plain, MA.

In 2012 Government officials accessed over 30,000 Americans'
personal e-mail accounts. They did this
without a warrant or your permission.
Every year, the Obama Administration requests increasing amounts
of private data on Americans. They do this with little oversight.
Enough is enough. The President had his way on taxes,
stimulus spending, and ObamaCare.
We can't let him take our internet freedom!
Demand John Boehner tell Obama to stay out of your email. The
government has no business spying on Americans.
If you take action and have not already registered, you will receive periodic updates and communications from FreedomWorks.
Tell Obama to Stay out of My Email!
Dear [Decision Maker],
It has come to my attention that government officials are accessing the private emails of Americans without warrants. This is an outrageous violation of privacy. The government should not be snooping around in emails without a search warrant.I demand that you do your duty as Speaker of the House and tell Obama to stay out of my email.
Sincerely,[Your Name] [Your Address] [City, State ZIP]

45 year old woman | Moore, OK, USA | Seeking men 40-55 within 150 miles
Active within 3 days
Looking for a man to share a great bottle of wine with and a perfect sunset :)
I raised my sons on my own, so I had to be both Mom and Dad. Luckily, I can be a girly girl, but I am also comfortable in my favorite pair of jeans outside spending time with my sons. I taught all three sons how to bait their first fish hook (creek behind our house that only had 2 inch crappie they tried to talk me into cooking lol), took them to their hunter safety course and taught them proper gun safety (yes I think all American's should have the right to bear arms), and coached their soccer team for about 5 years. What am I looking for in a man?? Well there are a few character traits that I feel a man should have, so if you don't have these, then we would probably not work out. What I am looking for: Integrity - This is a must, as I hate being lied to. Passion - Let's be honest, passion and sex are important. Hard Working - If you don't have a job, that is a problem. Loyal - Another trait that is required. Humor - I love laughter, and I enjoy the smart ass side of humor, too. I have learned to have a great sense of humor with my 3 sons, as they LOVE a good practical joke. Yes I can give as good as I get :) ***Spider Killer - ask my sons ... yes I run screaming like a girl and make them kill it for me. Snakes I can handle, one of my sons used to have a bull python ... but a tiny spider will send me shrieking to the other room. My oldest begged for a tarantula ... ummm no I draw the line there buddy ... no live spiders in my house :) Ok this is actually a high priority requirement for me!! Wishful thinking: Does dishes and laundry :) (I hate them both too) Golf - I love the game, even though I am a horrible golfer ... goes back to humor (Believe me, will keep you laughing while we spend the day on the course) OU and Bronco Fan I just want to find a man who wants to start out as friends and see where it goes from there. A man who enjoys stopping to watch the sunset or sitting on the porch watching a good thunderstorm cuddled together. I am not into the whole FWB or one night stands, so please don't expect this from me. I love the outdoors and travel, but I am also just as content to sit on the couch together to watch a great movie. In closing ... if you don't live in the US, don't even bother contacting me, as I am not interested in helping you move here or get your green card!! If you made it this far ... I am very impressed and I must not have bored you too much lol. Thanks for reading and have a great day!!

80's Rock and Country, but anything besides Rap Do enjoy watching Rizzoli & Isles, NCIS, and CSI NY, a great thriller movie, or a great comedy Watching a sunset with a great bottle of wine, cuddled with that special guy :)
I work hard during the week, so I enjoy being out on the weekends. I love touring wineries in OK (was shocked we had so many), taking a drive on Route 66, or relax on the couch with a special guy watching an OU football game!!
I love to read, so have a variety of authors I enjoy. Will read anything by Clive Cussler, Patricia Cromwell, Nelson DeMille, or Erica Spindler. My last read I have to admit was the 50 Shades trilogy a friend of mine talked me into reading :)

Machine a tatouer, Handmade tattoo machines for professionals tattoo Artist.
Paulo Cruzes Tattoo Machines.
We are a tattoo machines & tattoo parts company base in the UK, in Orpington, south of London.
\\\"We provide Specific Custom Made tuned ready to use tattoo machines.\\\"
One thing you must know about choosing a tattoo machine is what specific needs will you have, such as shading, soft shading, solid coloring, tribal black work or lining.
Just like a painter who has many different brushes for different purposes, so should a top professional tattoo artist have different tattoo machines with different settings for different purposes. True top artist know the value of having different real good tattoo machines.
Mistakes to avoid because it is a long road to the top and looking for short cuts is just a waist of your time. What beginners do specially at the beginning when funds are an issue, when money is short in the pockets - they look to buy a Hybrid tattoo machine who will do all the jobs. This is a pitfall because you will loose your money and your time, and the quality of your work will not improve by the same token.
Because a liner machine as a specific set up such as gap, springs length and tension, speed, that will be specially tuned to line. A shader on the other hand, has a specific set up such gap, springs length and tension and speed - that will be specially tuned to shade. Both machines are different though they look alike they are not. They have 2 different functions, if you try to shade with a liner, you will most probably damage the skin because the machine will be running to fast \\\"doing burger\\\", and damage the machine because of the needles configuration being to big for the liner the machine coils will overheat; and the contact screw will were out faster - you will end up with an erratic running machine. It\\\'s hard to explain to somebody how the ocean looks likes and feels like, unless you are there physically. The best way is you can see it and experience it. My advise is - if your aim is to become a true honest involved tattoo artist, try to understand this \\\"do not take short cut and go for the best\\\" in the end you will be the winner and your work will speak for itself.
\\\"Your quality work comes at a price\\\".
For your inquiries please contact us, and we will help you with your questions.

These cookies have a dark and delicious flavour, but I wish there was more of the wonderful fudge filling. There's quite many cookies in this package, - which was a great "surprise" - and very few of them were in pieces, so good job with the packing iHerb:)

The Collection
3500 years of glass-making, on permanent exhibition in the shape of over 3000 fine works displayed over 1200 square metres of exhibition space – the statistics alone testify to the calibre of the Glasmuseum Hentrich.
Glasmuseum Hentrich has undergone a full renovation of its lighting fixtures. It is currently full accessible. Only the Study Collection is closed. For enquiries about the accessibility of specific parts of the collection, please contact firstname.lastname@example.com or 0211-566 42 100. The newly lit permanent exhibition will be fully open to the public from June.
We apologize for the inconvenience.
Some 400 individuals and institutions have made glass donations to the Glasmuseum Hentrich since its inception. Considerable financial gifts help to make significant acquisitions. Thus the quality of the collection is indebted to a considerable extent to the private commitment of our patrons.

Check out the "quotes" from Government bureaucrats AKA liberals we are trying to get the heck away from out here in the hinterlands.
Census report on commuting doesn't have good news for Twin Cities exurbs
The real truth is the fact that people are willing to have long commutes just to get some privacy and safety in the suburbs even though they know that the bureaucrats are just going to build more trains for those already living in the hamster cage, is further proof the people running government are obtuse to our society and instead trying to change it.
The headline should read: Census report on commuting bad news for downtowns & inner ring suburbs counting on property taxes

It's been one year since a Des Moines man was gunned down in front of an east side bar, and the killer has still not been arrested. Now, the victim's family is asking the public for help.
A lot has changed over the past year. The former Courtside Bar on Des Moines east side is now a doughnut shop. But one thing remains the same; the person who killed 32-year old Marion Harris on the bar's patio last year is still free. Harris leaves behind eight children, including a baby who was born after Harris' death.
"That's hard." The baby's mother, Terresha Young says, "That's actually hard because I know when she gets older she's going to be asking questions."
"Justice needs to be served." Harris' mother, Joyce Webster says, "They're walking around still living and breathing while my son's dead for no reason"
Police say this is still an active investigation. They're asking anyone who may have witnessed the murder to call Crime Stoppers at (515) 223-1400.

This is the beginning of the "grace period". Strict enforcement comes later--probably after Spring Break.
This is the beginning of the "grace period". Strict enforcement comes later--probably after Spring Break.
The thread is Fast Pass REPORTS. If they're not being enforced yet, well, that's a report. My main thing is that I want is that this doesn't become another 'debate thread'.
So, here is a 'report', albeit second hand;
Two Disboards members reported yesterday that 'return within window' signs are up on Autopia, Space, TOT. One member stated that CM told them that enforcement will begin in earnest on 2/18 w/a 15 min 'grace' period.
"Life is not about waiting for the storm to pass, it's about learning to dance in the rain."
in my eyes (and im sure many others eyes) you are just one (or more) less people for us rule abiding people to have to deal with in the park. it is pathetic to me that the enforcement of return times of a FREE and OPTIONAL service that you knowingly exploited each time you visited the parks is a catalyst for you to take a break from Disney.
"Greetings, Starfighter! You have been recruited by the Star League to defend the Frontier against Xur and the Ko-Dan Armada."
Also, as others have mentioned before, making a claim that this was in any way rule breaking or exploitation, would be making a claim against Micechat, since they had a stickied thread giving people a tutorial on how to use FP to its fullest that informed people that they could use their tickets any time after the first return time. Since Micechat is careful to not be at odds with Disney, they must not view it as rule-breaking, either. Micechat is where I learned that I may do this. I was following their advice.
There are many people on Micechat that are able to disagree about things without being so rude.
If they invent a fruit that has all the characteristics of an apple but they claim it is a new kind of orange, then I am not going to agree with them. Really, I think this language, describing it as a place holder, comes from marketing. Probably marketing by someone who either isn't very familiar with how it behaves or was making a poor description of what it does in an attempt to put it in terms they thought would appeal to the customer.
Someone on here previously posted that it is patented by Disney as a "second queue", which is the description I would agree with.
I haven't gone all the way through this thread but my sense is that is the first step in being able to purchase a more flexible fast pass of some sort - something that has been mentioned for years. Maybe flexible fast pass privileges become add ons to annual passes. Also guests that drop thousands in hotel stays will be allowed privileges as well. MyMagic+ = you get what you are willing to pay for.
Writing about all things Disney, a couple of paragraphs at a time
75,000+ page views and counting.
It states before u get the fast pass what time it is for. If the time iscduring when u plan on having lunch or dinner go back later for the fast pass or get one for another ride that works with ur sechdule. This is not rocket science I dont see what the big fuss is about.
[QUOTE=buzzgirl;1056914724] Our DW trip was not worth it we decided. We only got in 4-6 rides a day in early November. We used to be able to knock out the whole park in that time. QUOTE]
If you're only getting on 4-6 rides a day, it can only be because of other factors, not related to FastPass, which you are not bothering to tell us about, and which you certainly have no obligation to tell us about. Like,"we barely got on 5 rides in a day, (but that was at DHS or DAK, each of which barely has 5 rides)", or"we only got on 6 rides in a day at MK(but we didn't arrive at the park until 2 P.M.)". Something along those lines that you're not including, which of course is none of our business unless you choose to share.
What makes FastPass effective is that most of the people getting on the ride don't have it for that particular ride at that particular time. Using your reasoning, most of the guests in the park will only be able to do 4-6 rides a day!
I don't see how enforcing the policy will reduce the number of rides you can go on. It certainly won't make the difference between doing the whole park and only doing 4 rides! You can do the same number of rides, just do them during your window.
I should have also said, not only is the effectiveness determined by the majority going on the ride not using the system for that ride, but also, as we've discussed, the leniancy with the later returns is especially something that even some people on these boards was not aware of.Originally Posted by 9oldmen;1056915618

I feel bad for Stormy. Apparently no one could comprehend what the secondary thread he/she started was for, and because of that, now it's been merged with the exact type of debate he/she was trying to avoid.
Mods: There's value in having a thread strictly for reports about the evolving FastPass enforcement without the mess of everyone's opinions of the program.

She dished up mock chicken legs and Salisbury steak, and a casserole called Russian Fluff. Her macaroni and cheese stayed put on the plate even if you held it upside down. Yeah, it was that good.
She was the lunch lady and happy about it, and while Joan (JoAnne) Malloy turned out all that food, she got to know all the kids who passed through the lunch line at Mother of Good Counsel School in her 25 years there.
"She wasn't just the lady who you walked by and slopped casserole on your plate," her son Kevin Malloy said.
"She'd engage each of these kids as they went through the line. She knew what their brothers and sisters and parents were up to." And the ones she was especially fond of — she'd slip 'em an extra cookie.
Malloy, maker of casseroles and friendly chatter, died Wednesday of complications of diabetes at her Wauwatosa home. She was 75.
Joan Driscoll was born on April Fool's Day, which is fitting, her son said. "She was always a joker."
A note in her high school year book — St. John's Cathedral, class of '56 — sums her up pretty well, said her husband of 49 years, Patrick. It reads, "Generally speaking JoAnne is generally speaking."
Malloy was known as both Joan and JoAnne because of a mistake on her birth certificate. Her mother told the nurse the baby's name was JoAnne, common spelling, and the nurse wrote Joan.
Malloy started out as a volunteer in the kitchen at Mother of Good Counsel, 3001 N. 68th St., in the mid-1970s, after the youngest of her three sons was school age. Eventually, she was hired as a kitchen worker and then food director, handling ordering and payroll, and often working on the line dishing up food.
"She had these sparkly, twinkly eyes and she always smiled, and she knew all the kids by name," said Judy Filut, a teacher for 36 years at Mother of Good Counsel. "The kids really loved her. She just loved serving them."
Malloy was known for her baked goods — she would arrive early, just like any baker would, and turn out rolls and bread. Her husband called her "an intuitive cook" who did not feel compelled to strictly follow a recipe.
Russian Fluff was a casserole of "meat and potatoes, all kind of put together," her son said. With the macaroni and cheese, a teacher was fond of demonstrating that it stayed on the plate when it was inverted.
On hamburger days, if a little kid asked for ketchup, she'd make it in a smiley face.
"She had her favorites — especially the boys, who liked to eat a lot," said Filut.
"She knew which kids maybe didn't get a whole lot to eat at home. She piled them up with food," Filut added.
Though kids sometimes made cracks about the food, reviews were generally favorable, her husband said.
"Sometimes the kids would tell their mothers, 'Why can't you make it like we have it at school?'" he said.
Malloy was known, too, for helping kids dodge Father Bruce, then the principal, who had a thing about clean plates. He'd send kids back to their table to finish lunch.
Though she's remembered as much for her banter as her bread and cookies, Malloy knew things needed to keep moving in the lunch line. If a kid spent a little too much time standing there, she had a favorite hurry-up cue: "Hup, hup, kiddo!"
Malloy's son posted a note about her death on the Mother of Good Counsel alumni page on Facebook, and memories poured in.
"...She made the best beef and gravy with homemade dinner rolls. She kept a lot of us full every day, always with a smile on her face," wrote one former student.
"Loved her apple pancakes the best," said another.
"Your Mom was my hero," wrote another. "She saved me from having to hide from Father Bruce many times, as I could never finish a whole serving. She remains one of my fondest memories of childhood."
Malloy retired in 2000 and spent her time traveling with family and knitting. She volunteered at Irish Fest, basking in her Irish heritage. The past year was rough for her — she was in the hospital for months — and her son posted updates about her condition on Facebook. Alumni saw them and sent prayers and memories. Her family told her about them when they visited her in the hospital.
"She would just light up like a Christmas tree. She'd say, 'Oh, I remember them.' To her, every one of those names had a face, some little kid she saw every day for eight years," her son said.
"Some people might say she was the lunch lady. Big deal.
"She didn't travel the world. She didn't make millions of dollars. But there are thousands of kids that went through that line," he said, "and she made an impression on them."
Besides her husband and son, she is survived by sons Daniel and Timothy; a brother, Gerald; and four granddaughters.

TVA laying off security force
TVA announced Friday it is laying off the 61 uniformed employees in its Police & Physical Security organization and is moving to contract employees as part of an organizational realignment meant to cut costs and make the federal agency more competitive.
It is ending uniformed patrols, stationing contract guards 24 hours a day at critical TVA locations and increasing the use of security technology at non-nuclear power facilities, TVA said in a prepared statement.
Security at TVA nuclear facilities is not affected.
"There are 61 uniformed officers," TVA spokeswoman Barbara Martocci said of the security organization. "They are all losing their jobs, but they will have the opportunity to apply for other jobs within TVA."
The security personnel also will receive severance packages, she said. The layoffs will take effect in 60 days.
The security division changes are part of a general realignment the agency announced in early February, Martocci said. When TVA Chief Operating Officer Bill McCollum announced he would retire, TVA said it would launch an evaluation of how it could make changes to more efficiently support its goals and business priorities.
The first priority is to minimize increases in rate pressures, TVA President and CEO Tom Kilgore, said at the time.
"As our sales go down, the pressure on our rates goes up. We must work to reduce those pressures," he said in a prepared statement.
TVA already has contract guards at five fossil plants and will now be using them "across the fleet," according to the Friday news release. Security technology will be increased to provide improved protection at hydro plants, substations, distribution centers and other facilities, the agency said. At campgrounds, recreation areas and other TVA properties, TVA will continue to work with local law enforcement to provide a police response, David Jolley, vice president of TVA Police & Security, said in a statement.
"TVA officers drive as much as 300 miles in a shift and may be as much as two hours away from an area that requires their response," he said.
"By focusing more of our non-nuclear security resources on our critical infrastructure, we will be in a better position to address the new and increasingly sophisticated threats facing the energy industry," Jolley said.

It had semi-sheer color coverage and applied evenly for the most part. It lasted for two hours on me, and it was somewhat drying. Bite Beauty Centifolia (LE, $28.00) is more orange, more opaque. Chanel Boheme (91) (P, $34.00) is pinker, darker. MAC Dreaming Dahlia (LE, $16.00) is warmer. Givenchy Brun Createur (103) (P, $36.00) is more matte, more pigmented.

Obama has twice thwarted the Keystone XL pipeline because of concerns over its route through sensitive land in Nebraska, but has not indicated how he will decide on the pipeline now that Nebraska's governor has approved a new route. The State Department has authority over the project, because it crosses an international border, but most observers expect Obama to make the final decision.
Bond, former chairman of the NAACP, said he participated in the pipeline protest "because I'm an American and I'm worried about the planet." He called the pipeline a human-rights issue, since many landowners in the six states where it will travel have been unable to resist Calgary-based TransCanada, the pipeline operator, as it seizes their property.
Bond also said the pipeline will exacerbate pollution problems near the Houston refineries where it will be processed, including neighborhoods where minorities predominate. The pipeline will travel through Montana, South Dakota, Nebraska, Kansas and Oklahoma before reaching Texas.
Bond, 73, said he was unhappy at the prospect of being arrested. "My mother told me I'd never get a job" if he got arrested, he said.
As Bond and others were being arrested, the American Petroleum Institute, the largest lobbying group for the oil industry, again urged Obama to approve the project. The group said it will pay for ads supporting the pipeline and will mobilize grassroots events across the country urging Obama's approval.
API President Jack Gerard called Keystone XL "the most thoroughly vetted major infrastructure project in the nation's history" and noted that TransCanada has agreed to 57 special conditions sought by the U.S. government to ensure environmental safety.
With the unemployment rate hovering near 8 percent, "getting people into these new jobs is critical," Gerard said.
In the past week, nine people have been arrested in attempts to disrupt the pipeline's construction through Oklahoma. One of the eight people arrested Monday near Schoolton, Okla., had attached himself to a crane and was freed by a firefighter using bolt cutters.

SALT LAKE CITY (AP) -- Al Jefferson scored 28 points and tied a career-high with 26 rebounds as the Utah Jazz defeated Dallas 123-121 Monday night in triple-overtime to halt a seven-game losing streak against the Mavericks and preserve their slim playoff hopes.
Utah began the day 10th in the Western Conference but pulled one-half game behind Phoenix and Houston for the eighth and final spot with four games remaining.
The loss dropped Dallas to seventh in the West, one-half game behind Denver.
Dirk Nowitzki scored 40 points against Utah for the second straight time. His 3-pointer forced the second overtime, but he couldn't convert late in the third extra period.
The Jazz forced overtime on Paul Millsap's put-back dunk with 2.2 seconds remaining in regulation.
