It's estimated that one in every 200,000 children are affected each year by Histiocytosis, a rare blood disease.On Saturday, a family in Brewer affected by the disease hosted an event to raise awareness and offer support.Diana Bosch explains.Griffin Faulkner's second birthday was a day of celebration, but two days later his life changed."He developed a lump on his forehead so we went through the process of getting an MRI and cat scans and found out by the end of the week what it was," said Cathy Hamel, Griffin's mother.It was Histiocytosis, a rare blood disease where a type of white blood cell called a Histiocyte grows abnormally in different parts of the body."With Griffin it was developing in his bone, in his skull so he had a lump on his forehead which is what the symptom was that we noticed and when they biopsied it they were able to diagnose it," she said.Less than 500 people are affected by the disease each year.The government considers it an "orphan disease," providing little to no funding."There is no research and the only research they get are patients," said Mark Faulkner, Griffin's father.Griffin's family decided to reach out to others affected by the disease to offer support."Now I have I think about 60 friends nationwide, a little bit of a network where you can talk to people and relate to what they're going through and everyone keeps each other up to date," Cathy said.To raise more awareness, the faulkners hosted "Chasing the Cure, Crop and Shop" an event combining scrapbooking and crafts to share Griffin's story.
The Southwest Harbor Police Department parking lot was blocked off Friday after a man arrived with a grenade, seeking advice on what to do with it.Police Chief David Chapais says the man had found the grenade among his deceased brother's belongings and brought it to the department.The parking lot was blocked off for three hours until a Maine State Police trooper removed the grenade from the man's truck .

Could be labor, call your ob. My last baby was back labor, the cramps I felt in my abdomen weren't painful at all but the lower back pain and pressure was unbearable. I didn't have any diarrhea with that one, but a few days before I went into labor with my first I did have diarrhea. Your Dr will know what's best, its better to get checked out and find out its not time yet than to wait too long and be stuck at home or in the car

SCEE confirms Heavy Rain demo for February 11
SCEE's confirmed tonight that the demo for Heavy Rain will be on the PS Store from February 11.
"Heavy Rain demo should be on the store on the 11th of Feb," said Mike Kebby on the EU PS Blog.
A couple of weeks back, an Sony spokesperson told VG247 that a demo was being planned before the game's release near the end of February.
The first mention of a demo came last August during gamescom, when Quantic Dream boss David Cage told us that a teaser was being looked at.
Heavy Rain releases on February 23 in the US, and February 26 in the UK.
It got a 9/10 in its first review from OPM UK, but there ain't no sequel coming for it, according to Cage.

Vista Murrieta's Broughton casts lot with Fresno State to highlight host of Valley signings
"What led me to Fresno State was being closer to my family and closer to my mom," he said. "She can come see my games.
"(Fresno State) really made me feel comfortable," he added.
Cravens, the USA Today defensive player of the year, graduated from Vista Murrieta in December and is already attending USC. But the former Broncos safety returned Wednesday to celebrate with his signing class.
"I know it hasn't been that long, but just coming back and seeing everybody is fun," Cravens said. "Everybody's been shaking my hand and asking me what's up. It's just fun to see my friends."
Much has been made of the late defections of this year's class at USC, including Redlands East Valley defensive lineman Kylie Fitts, who decommitted from USC last month and signed with UCLA on Tuesday.
Cravens said there are no worries for the Trojans, who were still expected to finish with a top-15 recruiting class.
"They're going to be focused on the guys they got, not the guys they lost," Cravens said. "Right now, we're focused on the future, and that's the guys we got (this year) and the guys we got last year."
Reddish, the state-qualifying cross country and track runner, signed with BYU, opting to follow sister Erika. He had also taken a trip to the University of San Francisco, where teammate Omar Solis signed.
First, though, Reddish will go on his Mormon mission. Because Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints officials lowered the minimum mission age from 19 to 18 last fall, its college students no longer have to go to school for a year before embarking on their mission.
"It actually works out great for me," Reddish said Wednesday.
At Chaparral, tight end Patrick Clifford committed to Nevada on Jan. 27, but there was still some anxiety that ensued in the period after. That dissipated Wednesday when his commitment to Nevada became official.
"There's always a little uneasiness throughout the week because that over-the-phone committing, that verbal, it's like a handshake," Clifford said. "Once you get it on paper and it's documented, the weight of the world is off your shoulders."
Clifford's teammate, Matt Grieb, a two-time All-Southwestern League offensive lineman, is heading to Western New Mexico to play tight end. There, he will catch passes from former Pumas quarterback Mitch Glassman.
"(Glassman) influenced me a lot," Grieb said. "When I went on my visit there, he showed me around a lot. He showed me what to do, what the fun things are."
Chaparral soccer player Noelle Sanz signed a letter of intent to attend the University of Alabama.
"I think the accents are awesome," said Sanz, a defender. "Maybe I will start saying 'y'all.'"
In addition to the lingo, Sanz was drawn to Alabama because of the campus atmosphere and the fact that the coaching staff was supportive of her efforts to play internationally.
Sanz was a member of the Costa Rican national team for its game against the United States on Sept. 1 in Rochester, N.Y. She played on the same field as American stars such as Abby Wambach, Alex Morgan and Megan Rapinoe.
"I was playing against girls that I watched on TV play since I was 10 years old," Sanz said. "It was just awesome to be on the same field. I was just in awe."
Pumas volleyball player Taylor Johnson signed with Long Beach State because of the opportunity to play both indoor volleyball and beach volleyball, a newly instituted NCAA sport. Johnson has been playing the beach variety since age 11. She also was lured by the chance to work with three-time Olympic gold medalist Misty May-Treanor, an LBSU graduate who lends her expertise to the program.
"It's an upcoming program, so I get to be a part of it in the beginning," Johnson said.

CLOVERDALE -- The first time Cloverdale met up with Monrovia it was with out senior running back Dillion Gray and the Clovers lost 50-0. This time the Clovers had Gray and the result was the same.
The Bulldogs beat the Clovers 53-0 on Friday in the first game of the sectional ending the 2009 season for Cloverdale.
"It came down to blocking and tackling and we didn't do either," CHS coach Kyle Winkler said.
The Bulldogs held the Clovers to a total of 51 yards on offense with Gray leading the way with 23 yards of rushing on 15 carries, while amassing 402 offensive yards for themselves.
"They are a great team and have great running backs and a great offensive line," Winkler said about Monrovia. "They are going to be a threat all the way through."
Monrovia scored on its opening drive, marching the ball 64 yards up field before capping it's drive with a two-yard touchdown run by Grant Watson with 7:21 to go in the first.
Cloverdale stuffed the Bulldogs two-point conversion attempt and held them for the rest of the quarter.
But 1:30 into the second quarter, Monrovia scored again. This time it was a 15-yard field goal by Richard Reeves making it a 9-0 game.
Then to add salt to the wound, the Bulldogs defense tackled Jeff Couse on the third play of the Clovers drive for a safety making it an 11-0 game.
From there, things just kept getting worse for Cloverdale. After forcing the Bulldogs to go four and out twice, Cloverdale fumbled the ball with just over two minutes to go in the half and the Bulldogs recovered it on the Clovers 44-yard line. Monrovia pushed the ball the distance in six plays thanks to a 33-yard pass that put the Bulldogs on the one-yard line. Then quarterback Tim Connor capped off the drive with a one-yard TD run. The Bulldogs then converted the two point attempt and walked off the field leading 19-0 at the half.
"We gave them a run," Winkler said. "It was 11-0 with just over a minute to go in the first half and they got that long pass down the side and put themselves on the one. It's a different ball game going into the half down 19-0 instead of 11-0."
In the second half, Monrovia had only five possessions and scored on all five. One possession was an interception by Reeves, which allowed the Bulldogs to score in three plays, making it a 39-0 game after Reeves shanked the PAT.
Cloverdale finished the season 1-9.

With passage of school funding plan, effort turns to paying for it
Thursday, April 14, 2005
JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. -- Now that the Senate has given initial approval to legislation rewriting the state's funding formula for public schools, the debate turns to how to pay for the new system.
The Senate plan, passed late Tuesday after nearly nine hours of debate, would increase basic state aid for schools from $2.4 billion to about $3.1 billion, not counting items paid separately, such as transportation aid. The new formula would be phased in over five years, starting in the 2006 to 2007 school year.
Sen. Chuck Graham, D-Columbia, wanted to spell out in the legislation that the state would provide the full amount called for to fund the new formula. The current formula is several hundred million dollars underfunded.
"I don't want this to be Easter bunny money. I don't want superintendents in three, four, five years saying, 'Where's the money?"' Graham said.
Graham's amendment failed, but the sponsor of the legislation, Sen. Charlie Shields, said a funding discussion will occur this year.
He reiterated that removing gamblers' loss limits and raising taxes on casinos could be part of the answer, though that change alone won't generate enough money to pay for the plan. He also said reining in Medicaid costs, improving the state's business climate and creating jobs should go a long way toward providing the increased school funding.
"Ultimately we have to grow general revenue," said Shields, R-St. Joseph. "That is the way that we fund this formula."
Regardless, he said, the new plan will do a better job than the current system.
"I know we'll never fully fund the existing formula," he said. "We have built a formula that is at a dollar figure that we can fund. It is at a doable category."
Politicians are trying to rewrite the school formula this year with a lawsuit looming by more than 250 school districts claiming Missouri's current funding plan is unfair and inadequate.
The legislation was approved on a voice vote and needs another vote to move to the House, where a committee is working on its own version. Key differences in the House plan include providing a boost for summer school programs and calculating cost of living differences by region rather than county. That change could push more money toward districts on the outskirts of the St. Louis region, for example.
The Senate legislation would move the formula from being based largely on local property tax rates and wealth to being based on a fixed amount that should be spent on each student, $6,117.
The spending amount is based on the amount spent per student by districts that had a perfect score on a state report that considered factors such as scores on standardized tests and graduation rates.
The proposed formula presumes all districts have the same property tax rate, $3.35 per $100 of assessed valuation, and provides state aid beyond what's raised at that level. The state would not make up the difference for districts with lower rates, and those with higher rates would not lose state aid for anything over what's collected at that level.
The proposed formula gives districts extra help for disproportionate shares of poor students, special education students and those who are still learning English.
The formula also would give a boost to areas with a high cost of living, based on average wages in a county, but would not deduct funding for areas with a lower cost of living.
School funding bills are SB287 and HB771.

Cuban Defector Makes U. S. Debut at Fitch Park
Jae-Hoon Ha went 4-4 with two triples, a double, and a single, scored three runs, and drove-in two more, Jesus Morelli reached base four times on a single, a double, a triple, and a walk, scored twice, and knocked-in three, and George Matheus had two singles, a double, and two RBI, but it was left to Wes Darvill to drive-in the winning run as the youngster bounced a single through a drawn-in infield with one out and the bases loaded in the bottom of the 7th, rallying one squad of Cubs to an 8-7 victory over one squad of the Giants on Field #3, while over on Field #2, Alvaro Ramirez doubled and tripled, drove-in one run, and scored another, Chris Huseby doubled, walked and scored a run, and Pin-Chieh Chen had two hits, a run scored, and an RBI, but the other squad of Giants clubbed five triples, a double, and a home run, and took advantage of two costly Rafael Disla errors to score four unearned runs, en route to an 8-4 victory over the other squad of Cubs, as the EXST Cubs and EXST Giants split a Cactus League Extended Spring Training split-squad doubleheader this morning at Fitch Park in Mesa.
21-year old RHP Juan Yasser Serrano made his debut with the Cubs on Field #3, tossing a 13-pitch, ten strike, 1-2-3 inning (4-3, 4-3, and 5-3). Serrano is the Cuban Defector who was signed by the Cubs for a reported $250K bonus this past March, and he appears to be a polished hurler who should advance quickly through the system. I would think he will probably get assigned initially to Daytona (fellow Cuban Defector OF Smaily Borges is already there), once he has gets his arm strength up to where it needs to be. Serrano is not a big guy (maybe 6'1), and he has a solid (almost stocky) build.
On the injury rehab front, AA Tennessee LHP Casey Lambert (2009 TJS) made his second EXST game appearance, and pitched a scoreless inning (21 pitches – 13 strikes), allowing a walk while striking out one. He still looks a bit rusty, but at least he has been able to stay on his rehab schedule without incurring any setbacks.
Tennessee OF Brandon Guyer played in the game on Field #3, but was limited to playing defense only (he played LF for the entire game and threw out a runner at the plate). His left (non-throwing) elbow is wrapped, so I would guess he has some type of injury that doesn't affect him when he catches or throws a ball, but does preclude him from swinging the bat.
Here are today's abridged box scores (Cubs players only):
1. Pin-Chieh Chen, 2B: 2-4 (1-3, 1B, 1B+E9, K, R, RBI)
2. Arismendy Alcantara, SS: 1-4 (1B, 5-3, E-4, 4-3)
3. Sergio Burruel, C: 1-3 (K, K, 1B, RBI)
4. Xavier Batista, 1B: 1-3 (K, 2B, F-8, R)
5. Alvaro Ramirez, RF: 2-3 (4-3, 3B, 2B, R, RBI)
6. Cody Shields, LF: 0-2 (P-5, BB, K)
7. Rafael Disla, 3B: 0-2 (F-7, F-7 SF, K, RBI)
8. Chris Huseby, DH #1: 1-2 (2B, 6-3, BB, R)
9. Blair Springfield, DH #2: 0-3 (K, K, K)
10. Kyung-Min Na, CF: 0-3 (4-3, 5-3, 6-3)

Re: Cuban Defector Makes U. S. Debut at Fitch Park
i have a question. how much longer do the cubs stick with Ramirez and Lee. This is both of their last years (i think). But how much longer do we let them just completely suck the life out of the offense? It's almost June. They've both had plenty of time to snap out of it. I think we'd be far better off with our minor league players at this point. They wouldn't even have to tear it up to do better than these 2 clowns.
(I don't really want to give up on either of these guys but isn't it high time we said enough is enough?)
Re: Cuban Defector Makes U. S. Debut at Fitch Park
another 100ab's or so and aram might be moved to the 6 slot.
Re: Cuban Defector Makes U. S. Debut at Fitch Park

Re: Cuban Defector Makes U. S. Debut at Fitch Park
Arizona Phil thanks for your comments on my last post. Ha seems to have the most advanced bat of all the Koreans in extended spring but isnt he the guy they're trying a catcher and he cant catch a cold? He also has been a little injury-prone since joining the Cubs. Any word on Huseby? Is he making the move to a position player or are they just giving him a mental break from his troubles on the mound? It's really too bad after the great year last year. Huseby is listed at 6-7, are his problems mechanical with a lot of moving parts or mental? Whatever the case is I wish him the best.

Re: Cuban Defector Makes U. S. Debut at Fitch Park
not that it will matter, but Cards looked like they lost 2 pitchers to the DL in Penny and Lohse.
Nice win tonight from someone who didn't watch one second of the game. Theriot is back to being an efficient basestealer, 8/9 in SB's this year.
Looks like midnight may have struck for Marlon Byrd though....2 for his last 20.
Ramirez is broke, should DL him for his thumb and see what they can do to fix whatever it is that is broken.
Re: Cuban Defector Makes U. S. Debut at Fitch Park
Agreed. Fontenot has proven he deserves a little playing time anyway. And is Chad Tracy still hitting .600 at AAA? Not that I'm suggesting they can approximate what we expected from Aramis, but they can do better than what he's doing now.
Re: Cuban Defector Makes U. S. Debut at Fitch Park
Add Soto to the "turning into a pumpkin" list --
0 for his last 13, down around .280.
Ram and Lee combined 0-for-10. Yikes.
Re: Cuban Defector Makes U. S. Debut at Fitch Park
I'm less worried about Soto. He's been prone to especially useless but not especially long slumps since we saw him in the majors. Remember the 10 Ks in a row?
Re: 0 for his last 13, down around .280
Soto is 3 for the last two weeks ( 3/34 .088 .262 .088 .350 ) with 8 walks!
I think Lou's bizarre backloaded batting order is to blame. The league just started pitching around Soto to get to the pitcher when he was pounding the ball earlier in the year.
Re: Cuban Defector Makes U. S. Debut at Fitch Park
Yea... I heard that you can tell a lot from 13 at bats.
Re: Cuban Defector Makes U. S. Debut at Fitch Park
I really hope the cubs if they are in it or not look to trade a outfielder
i think trading Fukadome should be attempted he is the only starter in outfield who could be traded.Colvin needs to play.
Re: Cuban Defector Makes U. S. Debut at Fitch Park
The problem with Fukudome is he's a $6 millon outfielder on a $13 million contract.

Phil, historically this front office has been patient with their prep pitchers keeping their IP low and moving them one level at a time. I know I'm getting ahead of myself, and you may not be able to formulate an opinion on this, but you've seen a lot of pitchers over the years, so...
also, after tonight's loss, STL is 13-14.
also also, the wsox are 19-8.
Win tomorrow, and the Cubs would have a 6-game lead. On May 4.
Fully agree on Addy -- hope he is our SS for a long time. I'm just surprised he has 4 errors already -- the last 2 on routine plays.
Guess how many Carlos Correa has?
I would still rather have Russell, right now, than any shortstop the team has had in many years. The future is bright enough to wear shades.
EDIT: Gonzo WOULD have been my favorite, 'cepting a certain error of a double-play ball...
Hi Phil, made it home tonight safely. Looks like Cease is getting better each outing. I see Crow did ok today too. I will be reading your write_ups everyday. Great seeing you while there!
tomorrow's game is a 12:35pm EST game for some ungodly stupid reason...then it's back to wrigley field for a night game on the 5th.
The best part of tonight's game was 6 different players with RBIs. Truly a lineup that doesn't give up top to bottom.
excubs [email protected]_NEWS
Jake Arrieta first Cub to go 6-0 in first six starts since Three Finger Brown in 1908.
Russell now with 4 errors -- that's a big (unpleasant) surprise.
Thanks Phil!
Throwing error to 2nd on a possible double play ball.
Can someone tell me what happened on Russell's error?
BILLY BUCKS: As things stand right now, Dylan Cease will be in the Eugene starting rotation when the NWL season begins play in June, and if he peforms well there he could perhaps move up to South Bend toward the end of the minor league season or for the MWL playoffs (if South Bend qualifies).
i'm more "wtf?" about him hitting 2nd than playing LF...especially since zobrist exists.

From guided group tours, tailor-made holidays, city breaks to family adventures and special festival tours to China we're bound to have a travel style to suit you
Discover Beijing, the Forbidden City, the Great Wall, Terracotta warriors, cave temples at Datong, Tiger Leaping Gorge, Guilin, Yangshuo, pandas, the Yangtze, Shanghai and lots more.
Get off to a good start planning your holiday to China with our guide to travelling to and getting around China.
eg Pyramids, tigers, Angkor Wat etc
Had a great time, I filled out one of these on paper too, but 10/10 would recommmened. "
I was delighted with both my tour and our guides. The entire trip exceeded my expectations. One of the many winning features of an On The Go trip is the easy, relaxed and reassuring manner with which the guides dealt with any unexpected occurrences. I particularly enjoyed the schedule as there was a superb balance throughout the trip which allowed us as a group to see everything whilst also giving us free time to enjoy places on our own but always with the safe knowledge that Feng was never far away. I cannot recommend this tour enough for anyone who wants to travel with the very best tour operator available today."
We had an fantastic trip. The accommodations were very nice and the transportation was comfortable. The information we received from On The Go Tours before the trip was very helpful and prepared us for what we needed.
Our Tour Guide (Feng) was the very best part of the trip. Our luggage was delayed for 5 days due to the Air Carrier. However, it would have been so much worse had not Feng intervened. She went way above any normal help. She personally made the arrangements so that when our luggage arrived in Beijing it was immediately put aboard another aircraft and sent to the city we were in. Then she arranged to have it sent to our hotel. She also was a wealth of information about China. All the guides spoke excellent English, friendly and eager to answer questions. We will definitely be using On The Go Tours again."

Unwarranted Influence
Dwight D. Eisenhower, the Army general who engineered the D-Day invasion of Europe during World War II, was president of the United States from 1952 to 1960. This was during a period of tension between nations called the Cold War. The USA and the USSR were two great powers locked in a standoff of paranoia and an arms race.
In his presidential farewell address to the nation in January 1961, Eisenhower stated, "In the counsels of Government, we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the Military Industrial Complex. The potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists, and will persist. We must never let the weight of this combination endanger our liberties or democratic processes. We should take nothing for granted. Only an alert and knowledgeable citizenry can compel the proper meshing of the huge industrial and military machinery of defense with our peaceful methods and goals so that security and liberty may prosper together." Thus, the term "military industrial complex" became part of the American lexicon.
The "military industrial complex" refers to the U.S. armed forces and various components that support a strong military presence. In essence, it's a combination of the Pentagon (military procurers), corporate military contractors, the intelligence community, and their respective supporters in the U.S. Congress.
Eisenhower sounded a warning many decades ago that has basically been ignored. The U.S. government now spends more on the military than all the rest of the countries of the world combined.
In 2005, the federal government will spend more than $2.5 trillion, or about $8,500 for every man, woman and child in the country. That's approximately $427 billion more than it takes in, thereby adding significantly to the national debt of over $7.8 trillion. Current military expenditures are $558 billion. When you factor in past obligations (veterans' benefits, interest on national debt created by military spending, etc.) and unbudgeted expenses (supplements for war in Iraq, Afghanistan, etc.), 46 percent of our taxes go to the military industrial complex.
During the Eisenhower era, the USSR was a powerful adversary that needed to be kept in check. But with no comparable enemy today, (former) Secretary of State Colin Powell devised a "two war strategy" whereby the military industrial complex would continue to flourish by equipping U.S. forces sufficiently to fight two major regional conflicts simultaneously against rogue states. Presently, the USA spends nearly 20 times more on its military force than all the so-called rogue states (Iraq, Iran, Syria, Libya, Cuba and North Korea) combined.
To ensure global conflict, the intelligence wing of the military industrial complex (CIA, NSA, etc.) has initiated plenty of action since 1960, including places like Vietnam, Cambodia, Iran, Iraq, Libya, Syria, Bosnia, Somalia, Korea, Serbia, Cuba, Chile, Nicaragua, El Salvador, Panama, Granada, Dominican Republic, Haiti and so on.
There may have been valid reasons for each encounter but often we have made matters worse by propping up evil dictators, such as Noriega in Panama, Pol Pot in Cambodia, Saddam Hussein in Iraq and others.
Eisenhower was right. There exists a potential for unwarranted influences and the misuse of power. The military industrial complex thrives on global conflict. It feeds itself on U.S. tax dollars and contributes mightily to politicians who support it. There's too much at stake for too many people to curb its desire for profitability.
But there's a fine line between being righteous defenders of global justice and belligerent warmongers.
When our commander-in-chief says "You're either with us or against us," we appear more like bullies than saviors. And when we put dog collars and leashes on naked prisoners we diminish the honor of our mission.
Our country stands for freedom and liberty. We shed blood all over the globe to ensure freedom. But we spend way beyond our means, borrowing money from future generations, on a military industrial complex that has an insatiable appetite for funding and a continual need for armed confrontations in order to survive.
The world is a dangerous place. We must protect ourselves, but we also need to use some common sense.

Yes and you have said very little more than you protest evolution, and shown us absolutely nothing. Fact remains evolution is a strong theory is backed up by a hundred fifty years of research confirming it.<quoted text>
That link is a great flop Aura. This is the sort of rubbish you evos like to misrepresent and shove down creos throats, adnauseum.
You need to go back and do BIO101 again.
Evolutionary biologists have long sought to understand the relationship between microevolution (adaptation), which can be observed both in nature and in the laboratory, and macroevolution (speciation and the origin of the divisions of the taxonomic hierarchy above the species level, and the development of complex organs), which cannot be witnessed because it occurs over intervals that far exceed the human lifespan. The connection between these processes is also a major source of conflict between science and religious belief. Biologists often forget that Charles Darwin offered a way of resolving this issue, and his proposal is ripe for re-evaluation in the light of recent research.
The lab and nature demonstrates adaptation within species level, NOT ABOVE. That remains a fact regardless of scientists need to give a name to every variation.
I have taken the point Aura.
Evolutionists do not have any research that suggests the genome can adapt endlessly for billions of years. All you can do is post this sort of misrepresentation and hope every one here is too stupid and uneducated to realize it.
Now what would you like to talk about.
It has also stood up to 150 years of whining by people like you who cannot show it is wrong despite your best efforts.
Which btw if this is your best effort ...it's pathetic.

Went parabolic on 5/11, but 25% retracement. After next catalyst (PDUFA) should have another parabolic move, (followed by another retracement).
Upcoming news/catalysts should cause more parabolic moves:
EMA approval
2013 earnings report
?Buyout news
With such a safe and well tolerated medication that at least a billion across the globe will want to take, Mike Murphy's projection seems inadequate.
Yes, I believe that ARNA will do better than AAPL, FB, GOOG or any other stock on the exchange for the foreseeable future.
If you don't yet own ARNA, you will miss out on the biggest financial return of your life.
There is only a finite amount of time before June 27 PDUFA.
There could be a surprise early approval.
Unlikely for any buyout news prior to full FDA approval.
Each day closer to June 27 also means less chatter about REMS.
The PPS should reflect what happened during the month before adcomm.
2 weeks before adcomm, the price spiked >20% and continued it's upward trajectory before going parabolic.
Barcharts rates this 100% long term buy, 100% medium buy and 80% short term buy.
Do not wait too long before buying. You have at most a couple of weeks. What's to say that shares won't start a steady climb to PDUFA starting on Monday.
According to the panelists and FDA itself at the adcomm, it is unfair to change the game plan for ARNA mid course. I really feel that FDA will approve LORQ early without any announcement for a required CVOT. However to settle any potential legal liability post market, ARNA will probably do their own. They are aware that KAul et al will not rest after FDA approval and will beat the drum of war against LORQ inciting negative media about LORQ to the benefit of Qnexa.
It's a high stakes game that ARNA MUST prepare for. Yes, I also agree that some of the funds raised by the SPO will be used for this purpose. I wonder if anyone with access can verify this with the company.
You are an antisemite.
The future of FB is brighter than any other company. With a 28 year old Jewish Harvard man and a brilliant Chinese American Harvard doctor at his side, there will be no stopping them. May G_d bless them and their endeavors and may FB be His instrument to bring justice and peace to this world.
I followed the ad comm via a couple of live blogs. It seemed that all of the cardiologists on the panel, except for that fraud, Kaul had zero concern for valvulopathy. Kaul, a poor excuse for a physician, swayed a couple of panelist to offer EKG as a way to handicap Lorq. These same panelist had difficulty distinguishing the clinical indication for EKG vs ECHO. They also had no idea how prevalent valvulopathy is in the general population at large. If they read any of ARNA's original publications in NEJM, OBesity Journal, they would have seen that.
Not only will the FDA disregard these off the cuff suggestion with no scientific or empiric evidence, they will allow LORQ to be prescribed widely and freely by all physician as a bullet to combat the scourge of obesity sweeping across this nation and world.
Either you are in or out. We are at the cusp of medical history and breakthrough. Get of the way or be run over (especially if you are shorting).
FB lost 15% from $45. It might not go back to $45 for months. By then it will be too late to get ARNA for $5.50 since PDUFA is on 6/27 and PPS will go up much higher with full FDA approval. It seems prudent to sell most FB and return to ARNA
If this ever happens, I will buy 20K more shares. And if it goes to 4.5, I will buy another 40K shares.
You misunderstood my intentions here. I am currently long 65K ARNA. I am willing to keep accumulating, exponentially if PPS drops. However, if PPS spikes up I will be that much more wealthy and happier. Just saying that whether the PPS goes up or down, its a win win situation. That is Cramer's Pyramid Plan.
ARNA 5.50 Buy 10K (done)
ARNA 5.00 Buy 20K
ARNA 4.50 Buy 40K
Let's just assume that both QNEXA and LORQ are approved by the FDA and come on the market around the same time.
If you are a physician, which would you prescribe 1st for your patient? Obviously, almost no physician would start both drugs for the patient at the same time.
I would chose Lorq 1st since it's mechanism of action is best understood and it has the least side effect profile. I think 99% of my colleagues will agree with me on this.
When we prescribe a chronic medication, such as for diabetes, hypertension, cholesterol, we almost never prescribe the most powerful. Instead, we chose the safest and best tolerated.
LORQ does not cause any birth defect. This will be a particular concern for the majority of our patients who are obese and of child bearing age. No physician wants to cause a bad outcome by having his/her patient give birth to a child with birth defects. This will be interpreted as malpractice by most docs. Likewise, physicians are very comfortable handling patients with valvulopathy. This is because almost all of our patients already have some. Just ask how many doctors see patients with mitral regurgitation, aortic regurgitation, aortic stenosis. Almost every other ECHO that is done shows some sort of valvulopathy in clinical practice.
What we are not comfortable accepting or facing are the consequences of birth defects, and memory problems. I think most of the non-clinicians on this message board have missed the boat when it comes to the side effect profile for LORQ. The valvulopathy is a NON issue. The only person who made it an issue was Dr. Kaul, obviously a shill for VVUS and QNEXA.
1. I predict 100% chance of approval for LORQ, if not early approval.
2. I predict 0% chance of REMS
3. I predict 100% of EMA approval on time without delay.
4. I predict 99% of docs will prescribe LORQ first.
5. I predict over 90% market domination by LORQ vs QNEXA
I cannot predict the PPS of ARNA.
Regardless of your views regarding where the company's stock is headed, you have to have compassion for your fellow humans suffering from the worst pandemic of this century. It is not poverty, malaria, war, malnutrition, religious persecution, racism, sexism, cancer, alcoholism, cigarettes, methamphetamines, heroin, cocaine, communism, capitalism, Obama, Romney, etc. it is the increasing BMI that is plaguing this nation and spreading all over the world.
Almost every patient I see in the hospital started out with obesity as their first problem. Then diabetes follows, hypertension, atherosclerosis, renal failure, heart failure, amputations, dialysis, respiratory failure, myocardial infarction, sepsis, stroke, and death. You would think the hospital beds are filled with people dying from cancer or damaged lungs from smoking. Wrong, the hospitals are filled to capacity with obese people.
Everyday, young obese patients end up on life support machines, unable to breath on their own, let along move or walk, their hearts, kidneys, lungs collapsing under the extreme weight. Even some lucky one's who get bariatric surgery only live a little longer after loosing 100 pounds, because it really is too late.
Wake up America. Arena is truly a force for good in this struggle against a scourge of mankind.
Knowing all this, do you still have the conscience to short? You will be called to accountability sooner rather than later.
My goal is to keep accumulating in a stepwise fashion if prices continue to drift lower. There is no telling if the FDA will announce approval pre PDUFA. There is absolutely no indication for REMS and a post-approval study can be announced at the time of the FDA approval. Obviously no one really knows where PPs will be next week, let alone a month from now. But we are headed forwards the finish line and nowhere else in the market today can you get the potential return on investment as ARNA can deliver. Case in point, I was hyped up about Facebook's IPO like everyone else, but what a let down! We all know that for FB to double or triple will take years, being a large cap north of $100 billion. Just look at how difficult it is for AAPL to maintain its gain.
Therefore, my thoughts are that since I have no doubt about lorcaserins efficacy and safety, along with obvious FDA support at the adcomm, ARNA will deliver the most in this mediocre/poor market. It is not ARNA's fault if PPS took a dip after the initial enthusiasm of ad comm and the secondary. Just look at what has happened to AAPL recently in this total market sell off.
Hold onto your shares and accumulate more if prices drop. You will be richly rewarded in just a little while.
Might crash yahoo message board soon..
Where does it say that? Can't find a guarantee anywhere on Schwab.com and I haven't been allocated yet. Thanks
Naked shorting a bit dangerous, no?
Any guess as to what time Eastern Standard?
Which brokerage and how many?
Thinking about going back into DNDN
$12 to $14 will be nice. Still won't justify me going all in but with PM trading going green my mood has brightened a bit.

NEW YORK—July 1, 2014. Today five board members and a new presidents council representative join the national board of directors for AIGA, the professional association for design, following a national search. Each of the newly elected directors brings a unique perspective to the organization and will help shape the future of AIGA:
Elysia Syriac, Relish Creative, AIGA Colorado, takes on the role of chapter presidents representative to the board.
AdamsMorioka partner Sean Adams will continue to serve as president through June 2015. The board of directors elected Lippincott senior partner Su Mathews Hale to a newly created president-elect position. Su Mathews Hale's one-year term as president-elect begins this month; she will serve as AIGA president for two years when Sean Adams' term concludes on July 1, 2015.
As these directors assume their roles, AIGA also recognizes those completing their terms of board service on behalf of the design profession:
Drew Davies, founder and design director at Oxide Design Co. in Omaha, Nebraska, was instrumental in shaping the future of AIGA as a board member, design director of Design for Democracy, and national co-president from 2013 to 2014. He offered clarity in leading AIGA through strategic change and thoughtful advocacy for a truly national community of designers.
