Micromet Inc.
) recently presented encouraging data from a mid-stage study of its
lead pipeline candidate blinatumomab in adults suffering from
relapsed or refractory B-precursor acute lymphoblastic leukemia (
) at the American Society of Hematology (
) meeting.
Blinatumomub is one of the leading BiTE antibodies that Micromet
is developing. BiTE antibodies represent a new class that activate
the T-cells of a patient's immune system to eliminate cancer cells.
The company is developing blinatumomab on its own.
The data showed that out of the 25 evaluable patients in the
study who had relapsed following standard therapy, 68% (17)
achieved the primary endpoint of complete remission (
) or CR with partial recovery of blood counts (CRh) across all
tested doses. However, for the selected dose, 75% (9 of 12
evaluable patients) achieved CR of CRh. Moreover, there was no
evidence of any remnant leukemic cells in the blood or bone marrow
of all responders. Interim data from the study was earlier
presented in June 2011 and further updated data is expected to be
presented in 2012. We find the data encouraging and believe it
provides further evidence that blinatumomab has the potential to be
used for the treatment of ALL.
Based on positive interim data from the study, Micromet had
initiated a mid-stage trial in the same patient population as above
(with CR/CRh as the endpoint). The mid-stage study will be followed
by a late-stage study (with a time dependent endpoint) to evaluate
the safety and efficacy of blinatumomab versus chemotherapy.
Micromet is also conducting a pivotal study of blinatumomab in
Europe in adults with minimal residual disease (MRD), positive
B-precursor ALL, also referred to as front-line ALL. Data from the
trial is expected to support a marketing authorization for the
indication in Europe.
At the ASH symposium, Micromet also presented data from an
early-stage trial of blinatumomab, in heavily pre-treated patients,
particularly with
's (
) Rituxan, with diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL).
The data demonstrated that treatment with blinatumomab produced
durable responses in DLBCL patients. Roughly 55% of the patients
who were treated with blinatumomab achieved an objective response
whereas 38% recorded a complete response. A mid-stage trial is
expected to begin in 2012.
The DLBCL condition is a sub-type of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma
(NHL). Blinatumomub is being evaluated for NHL and has produced a
high response rate and duration of response in a number of
different NHL subtypes like mantle cell lymphoma (MCL).
Our Recommendation
Currently, we have a Neutral stance on Micromet. The stock
carries a Zacks #3 Rank (short-term Hold recommendation).
We believe blinatumomab holds tremendous potential in the
treatment of ALL. Besides, Micromet's partnerships with large
pharma and biotech companies could generate substantial future
royalty revenues for the company. Micromet has agreements with
pharma giants like
), and
Amgen, Inc
. (
), which are focused on developing BiTE antibodies against
disclosed/undisclosed solid tumor targets.
However, we believe that Micromet requires the strength of a
large established player to accelerate blinatumomab's development
in order to gain a head-start over potential competitors on
approval. We are also concerned about Micromet's early stage
pipeline. Thus, we prefer to remain on the sidelines.

Family-style full-court press
"Sports is a seasonal thing for me," Andrew said. "But my main sport is baseball. I've played both sports since I was a little kid. Sometimes it's hard juggling both sports, hitting with the baseball team, then running over to basketball practice.
"My dad has been a great mentor. And we're a very close, supportive family. Dad taught all the kids how to shoot correctly. We learned to shoot in the front yard — hand behind the ball, shoot one-handed. And it's helping."
Tim McWilliam was an outstanding prep baseball player in Tucson who went on to play at Texas A&M. He was drafted and signed with the Padres. He led the Arizona Rookie League in hitting in 1988 and reached the Triple-A level before a back injury forced him to retire.
He worked for the Padres as a scout in the Four Corners area before moving to Southern California and landing the job with the Tigers.
Linda McWilliam was an all-state prep volleyball player in Arizona. She is now the family videographer.
"Linda and I have learned that our kids do better with support rather than criticism," Tim said. "We wanted them to be involved in something and are gratified they chose athletics.
"Baseball is the way I make my living, so I'm so glad my kids have had great coaches and had such a positive experience."

Mr. Pinchy
| Mr. Pinchy
| Animal Information
Mr. Pinchy, or just Pinchy, was a lobster that was Homer's pet. Homer found him at a grocery store and decided to take him home to fatten up to eat.
Homer gradually grew emotionally attached to the lobster and decided to keep him as a pet, even naming him "Mr. Pinchy". He kept him in the fish tank, then an indoor wading pool. Marge wanted Homer to get rid of him by cooking him up, but Homer kept seeing Pinchy as a helpless, "little guy" whereas through Marge's eyes, Pinchy looked like a normal vicious lobster.
At the end of the episode Homer told Marge that he placed Pinchy in a hot bath after he got dirty from chasing birds. Bart then commented on the smell of something cooking that entered the room. Homer then put two and two together and realized that it's coming from the bath. The episode then concludes with Homer distraught at the dinner table, sobbing while eating Pinchy, who had been unfortunately boiled alive in the tub.

Celebrity perfumes are a dime a dozen these days. But when it's Lady Gaga you can be sure the launch party isn't going to be the typical Macy's grip-and-grin photo op.
How about live tattoos and Gaga trapped in a giant bottle? At her masquerade ball-themed launch party for her new perfume, Fame , at the Guggenheim Museum in New York on Thursday night Gaga put on the type of spectacle we've come to expect from her … and then some.
According to the Huffington Post, a list of famed fashion A-listers including Alexander Wang and Marc Jacobs joined celebs such as Lindsay Lohan, Michael Strahan, Paris Hilton and Yoko Ono to watch the spectacle.
Gaga, who arrived at the Guggenheim Museum on the back of a black convertible while rocking long brunette locks and a sheer designer Prabal Gurung gown, made her grand entrance after Steven Klein screened the mesmerizing short film he made in honor of the black liquid scent. While guests waited they were served blood red margaritas and greeted by topless male models.
Actually, unbeknownst to the attendees, Gaga was already in the house, albeit inside a giant replica of the Fame bottle, where she was snoozing as a webcam livestreamed her nap on a huge screen. The bottle was perched atop a golden set of stairs that looked like a lost set from "Star Trek." After the film, guests were invited to step up and touch Gaga's hand while she slept by sticking their fingers through a small peep hole in the bottle as part of a performance entitled, "Sleeping With Gaga."
A sign warned, "Touch Lady Gaga's hand, but please don't wake her." After laying motionless for an hour, she woke up to the strains of David Bowie's "Fame" and put on make-up and fooled around with an iPad while jamming to music inside the bottle.
After a bit, Gaga left the bottle, stripped off her gown, wig and jewels and tucked in while celebrity tattoo artist Mark Mahoney cleaned up her recently shorn neck so that he could ink an elaborate cherub tattoo on it.


text: About defibrillators A high energy electric shock, given to the heart in some types of cardiac arrest, may restore a more stable rhythm. This is called defibrillation, and it's an essential lifesaving step in the chain of survival. Public access defibrillators (PADs) can be found in public spaces like your local shopping centre, gym, train station or village hall. That briefcase-sized box on the wall contains a PAD. It's there for anyone to use on someone in cardiac arrest. Simple to use They are simple and safe. The machine gives clear spoken instructions. You don't need training to use one. Once in position, the defibrillator detects the heart's rhythm. It won't deliver a shock unless one is needed. Every second counts After a cardiac arrest, every minute without CPR (cardiopulmonary resuscitation) and defibrillation reduces someone's chance of survival by 10 per cent. When you call 999, the operator can tell you if there's a public access defibrillator nearby. Don't delay or interrupt chest compressions to get it, send someone else. If you've installed a defibrillator in your community or workplace, check that your ambulance trust knows about it. That way, 999 operators can quickly identify a nearby device in future emergencies. How to use a defibrillator Defibrillators are very easy to use. Although they don't all look the same, they all function in broadly the same way. If you come across someone who is not breathing or breathing erratically, the most important thing is to call 999 and start CPR. If you're on your own, don't interrupt the CPR to go and get a defibrillator. When you can, send someone else to find one. Once the defibrillator is open, all you have to do is follow the spoken instructions. There's lots more information about obtaining and using defibrillators in the Guide to Defibrillators we produced in conjunction with the Resuscitation Council UK. Funding for defibrillators Our Nation of Lifesavers Community package offers part funding for a public access defibrillator and Call Push Rescue training kit. You can find out more about the application criteria and how to apply online. We also provide funding for community first responder schemes. The Department of Health Defibrillator funding programme in England has now closed. Due to a high demand in applications we have now allocated all the funds available.

The new uniforms are pretty boss, as well. Maybe the new Plasma is ran by the Shadow Triad due to their intense loyalty to Ghetsis. Maybe he ordered them to remake Plasma, and they're just following orders. They never seem evil to me, just loyal to the man who saved their lives.
In my opinion i would in fact like to see N return, team plazma and N are the only villians in pokemon that i actually seem to understand so far.
But i do like the way that your thinking, it would be nice to see what happened to the shadow triads and if they will still stay loyal to team plazma.

When Robert Downey Jr.'s Tony Stark returns to the big screen in May with Iron Man 3, he'll be a character transformed by his encounters with Earth's Mightiest Heroes in Marvel's $1.5 billion blockbuster.
"So much of the journey of Iron Man 3 is informed by Tony's experiences in The Avengers," Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige tells MTV. "It's almost like post-traumatic stress: he really has retreated after the events of The Avengers into his workshop, where he's building advanced versions of his suits. He has [designed] a version of the suit that can latch onto him in individual pieces … any time, anywhere. As he starts to realize, it's basically because he doesn't want to be out of the suit: he's seen a lot of things in Avengers and has encountered a lot of powerful people, much more powerful than he is."
In response to that realization, Tony decides he needs to be in the armor a lot more often, but the timing couldn't be worse as an attack on his home and armors leaves him with far fewer resources. "It brings us back to the Tony we met in the first part of Iron Man where he's removed from that convoy and brought to the cave with nothing but a box of scraps," Feige said. "It's fun for all of us to watch Tony try to figure out how to get out of that scenario. Much of the movie is Tony in the middle of the country without his tools and a fairly broken suit to help him. But that's his superpower: he wasn't born on Asgard, he wasn't hit by gamma rays, and he doesn't have the super soldier serum. His power is his brain. It's fun to put Tony Stark in a corner with nothing and see how he can get out of it."
Directed by Shane Black from a script he co-wrote with Drew Pearce, Iron Man 3 also stars returning cast members Gwyneth Paltrow, Don Cheadle and Jon Favreau, joined by newcomers Ben Kingsley, Guy Pearce, Rebecca Hall, James Badge Dale and Ashley Hamilton. The film opens nationwide May 3.
Ah. I hope that Tony gets into lots of fights, with or without the armor. Also I hope there is quite a bit more for War Machine to do here. I want there to be some villains besides the Mandarin for the duo to fight against. This should be a globetrotting movie. Events in the plot should take place in lots of different foreign locations.
Sadly, all I've seen so far is that WAR MACHINE isn't in this one, but the IRON PATRIOT is going to be in the movie. How much screen time the IRON PATRIOT will have has not been told yet (that I know), and it will be interesting to see how they work out the storyline, being that in the comics the guy in the IRON PATRIOT armor is Norman Osborn (aka THE GREEN GOBLIN). The armor looks a LOT like WAR MACHINE only painted in red, white & blue.
Iron Patriot IS WarMachine. It says his name on the armour, J. Rhodes.
warmachine is the iron patriot

1. What type of glass should I use?
2. I plan to seal the new glass with caulk, but will I still get condensation between the panes?
2. Should I instead consider getting a custom fixed storm window made?
- Forum >

insulating stained glass sidelights
1. What type of glass should I use?
So, a partial answer is that your space between panes shouldn't be totally airtight.
I know this to be a common problem w/sidelights. However, more contemporary sidelights are much thicker or are built double-paned. Unless your sidelights are made of glass that's NOT meant for that purpose, it's a little 'difficult' for me to understand why you're feeling so much cold air.
Are you SURE the air is radiating through the stained glass and not around the door, itself? I mean, there isn't much glass to sidelights. The effect you are experiencing isn't out of the ordinary, but you're making sound like the air is almost 'blowing in'. This type of thermal transfer is normal where there is a 'surface' (which is your glass) between a cold surface (outside) and a warm surface (inside). The 2 'elements' will try to equalize each other with the cold air moving towards the warm air (since cold air sinks), and the warm air moving towards the cold air (since warm air rises.)
As far as installing a storm door, sure, you could do that but I'm not aware of a single-swing storm door for an entry door w/sidelights where the storm door will 'enclose' the entire entryway. Yes, you can get a storm door for just the entry door but your problem INCLUDES the sidelights.
As an aside, we bought our home w/an entry door and sidelights. We demolished that in place of double-entry doors. We then installed double storm doors too. Aestetically, it looks nice. (We have full-oval, solid oak entry doors.) This does pose its own set of 'issues'. (I'll leave that alone unless you're contemplating this approach. I will assume not.) I'm only mentioning this because the only way we could get a storm door was to go w/double-entry doors. The storm doors are full-view doors so you can 'enjoy' the doors from the outside too.
As far as insulating your sidelights, assuming the entry door and sidelights aren't leaking, I wouldn't do it. You could start a condensation/mold/mildew situation. And besides, they'd look kinda funny. If these sidelights and the entry door are part of the home's character, beings that you own an 'old house', you may end up just consider it something you need to live with.
If you have more info to offer, perhaps I can say more to your questions. My best to ya and hope this helps.

PS: God Bless America!
Thanks again.
I'm sure I overstated the 'situation'. SOmetimes, I exadurate to make my 'point'.
Anyways, I think that if you were to build your own double-pane, you'll end up w/mold/mildew because the 'gap' isn't under vacume. Sure, 'trapped air' is a great insulator but you'll have moisture issues. As the air heats and cools, moisture and air will be 'moving' in and out of that space. Unless you can create a vacume and have a perfect seal, I think your efforts will prove unuseful.
At the same time, you could still have a 'what the heck attitude'. You have nothing to loose except a few $$$ and a little time. WHat I'm saying is that in spite of my $.02, try it anyways. You never know - It may just work (and I'll be wrong for the 2nd time today!)
My best to ya and hope this helps.

The present invention is directed to convertible top fabrics, and more specifically to a convertible top fabric which has advantages in appearance, weatherability, cleanability, sound insulation, and resistance to abrasion.
Convertible tops in the past have been made from fabrics such as 100% cotton. These fabrics simply did not hold up for long periods of time. Thus, the term "rag top" evolved. Advantages have been obtained by using synthetic or polymeric yarns in the fabric, however, for the most part, there are unresolved problems with cleanability, appearance, and the like.
Several solutions have been offered, most of which provide some type of coating on top of the fabric. For example, in the Dalbec et al. U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,147,713 and 5,324,577, a single ply convertible top formed of a polyester and cotton fabric coated with a polyvinyl chloride coating. Similarly, in the U.S. Pat. No. 5,385,774 to Cramer et al., a convertible roof material includes a lower fabric layer (headliner) formed of one of several types of synthetic yarns and an upper layer formed of polyacrylonitrile yarns. The upper layer is dip coated with a florine-containing polymer such as tetrafluoroethylene. Such improvements suffer from a severe disadvantage in appearance, in that they do not retain a defined weave appearance in the outer layer.
The present invention, therefore, is directed to the broad concept of an improved convertible top fabric which exhibits a woven design appearance, while at the same time provides improved weatherability, cleanability, insulation to sound and resistance to abrasion. This is accomplished by providing a fabric for the outer layer that is formed, to a significant extent (at least 25%) of polymeric clad or shielded yarn. The "coated yarn" may make up 100% of the fabric, it may be used in the warp alone or along with other softer yarns, the fill alone or along with other softer yams, or in the warp and the fill alone or along with other softer effect yams. These yarns improve appearance because they give a carbon fiber look. They improve weatherability and resistance to abrasion because they have a harder surface. They improve cleanability because they do not absorb dirt and oil. The sound insulation occurs because these yarns are heavier and thicker.
The outer layer of fabric is then combined with a headliner or interior layer of fabric which may be a conventional headliner fabric. The outer layer and inner layer are connected by an adhesive waterproof interlayer.
This convertible top fabric, which is in reality a laminate, then provides an extremely attractive convertible top that retains the different weave appearance, provides superior weatherability, a much more cleanable surface to the extent a white top can be made with woven fabric, is significantly quieter from exterior sound, and an improved abrasion resistance, which is one of the major reasons for failure of convertible tops.
It is therefore an aspect of this invention to provide a convertible top with a defined weave appearance, yet which is quieter, retains good characteristics of weatherability, cleanability and resistance to abrasion.
Other aspects and a fuller understanding of the invention will become apparent from the following detailed description of a preferred embodiment along with the accompanying drawings in which:
Turning now to a description of the preferred embodiments, as stated hereinabove, the invention herein lies in a new convertible top fabric illustrated at 20 in
The heart of the invention lies in the makeup of outer layer 22 which, as previously stated, is at least partially formed of polymeric coated core yarns, sometimes referred to as a composite yarn. The coated yarns 30 (
The specialty yarn, or the polymeric coated yarn is preferably a polyester core coated with an extruded polyvinyl chloride coating. Such yarns are presently available from Twitchell Corporation of Dothan, Ala., Pfeiffer Corporation of Tuscaloosa, Ala., and Engineered Yarns of Coventry, R.I. The makeup of coated yarn 30 is such that the core can range from a denier of 70 to 1200 while the denier of the coated yarn can range from a denier of 500-3500. In addition to polyester, other fibers or filaments for the core may be selected from the group of nylon, acrylic, fiberglass, aramids, olefins, and carbon fiber. In addition to the polyvinyl chloride, other resins which may be used to clad the core yarn are nylon, olefins or thermoplastic olefin elastomers, urethane, EVA, polyester, ionomers, polyphenylene sulfide, polyethersulfone, fluoropolymer, polyethertone, and liquid crystal polymers.
The coated yarns generally are known and currently manufactured for other purposes. They are formed by threading a core yarn through a defined size opening as molten polymer exits an extruder therearound. The coated yarn is then cooled by water and wound on a package.
The headliner or inner lining 26 is a fabric conventionally formed of polyester, cotton, or some combination of cotton/polyester. While it is not believed that other fibers are currently being used for headliners, it is entirely conceivable that other fibers could be used. The headliner fabric is generally woven, but it could possibly be non-woven or knitted.
The connecting layer 24 serves to both adhere the outer and interior headliner together, as well as to make the entire fabric 20 waterproof. Materials currently being used for this layer are rubber and thermoplastic olefins (TPO or TPE). Urethane adhesive technology could also be used, but is not currently used to adhere inner and outer layers of convertible tops currently being made. The rubber or olefin is extrusion coated or spread coated onto the underside of the outer layer 22 as it is an inverted position. The inner lining 26 is then applied and the outer and inner linings with the connecting layer 24 therebetween are fed through pressure rollers as the connecting layer dries.
As illustrated in
As shown best in
In the following table, various sizes of the coated yarn are illustrated:
The core yarn is 70-100 denier polyester
coated with polyvinyl chloride
The core denier is 220 denier polyester
coated with polyvinyl chloride
The core denier is 500 denier polyester
coated with polyvinyl chloride
The core denier is 1000 denier polyester
coated with polyvinyl chloride
In the fabric illustrated in
In a second fabric construction the warp yarns are all 650 denier air jet textured Black solution dyed polyester introduced at 60 ends (45-80) per inch. The fill yarns are all of the coated type introduced at 34 picks per inch (18-50). The fill yarns are 220 denier polyester coated with polyvinyl chloride of the type described in Example 2 above. Alternating fill yarns have a different color coating for aesthetic purposes.
A third fabric construction includes warp yarns which are all 300 denier air jet textured Black solution dyed polyester introduced at 60 ends (45-100) per inch. The fill yarns are all coated yarns of Example 2 (pearly platinum color) introduced at 40 (18-50) picks per inch.
A fourth fabric construction includes warp yarns which are all 18/2 solution dyed black acrylic introduced at 60 (45-100) ends per inch. The fill yarns are all coated yarns of Example 2 (pearly platinum color) introduced at 40 (18-50) picks per inch.
A fifth fabric construction includes warp yarns which are all coated yarns of Example 2 (white color) introduced at 66 (20-70) yarns per inch. The fill yarns are also all coated yarns of Example 2 (white color) introduced at 30 (18-50) picks per inch.
Obviously, the yarns per inch in the warp and in the fill may vary depending on the weight of the fabric wanted and the denier of yarns required. While the denier of the effect yarn may vary widely from the denier of the coated yarns, in the preferable embodiments, it is believed that the effect yarns and the coated yarns should be approximately the same size or weight.
As previously stated, it is believed that the convertible roofing material of the present invention exhibits advantages in the areas of visual appearance, abrasion resistance, sunlight/UV resistance, cleanability and reduction of noise. Visual appearance is primarily a choice of the purchaser. The cleaner appearance of the fabrics of the present invention have aroused considerable interest in automobile manufacturers and is one of the primary factors for using this product. The product exhibits a substantially cleaner and more pleasing appearance. As far as noise reduction is concerned, the fabric of the present invention has exhibited a reduction of 1-2 decibels in the transmission of noise therethrough versus the current acrylic fabric. Other criteria for product acceptance include the ability to maintain original color and physical integrity for many years of exposure to UV or sunlight. Secondly, since the convertible top folds on itself and is stored when the top is down in a very confined space, it must have excellent abrasion resistance from fabric to fabric rubbing. Thirdly, the top is exposed to considerable dirt, soiling agents, and the like in use and must be cleanable to its original appearance over many cleaning cycles. The following examples are evidence of how the product according to the present invention meets or exceeds current testing criteria in these three critical areas.
First of all, as to the testing for sunlight or UV resistance, the test are conducted according to SAE J1960. While J1960 requirements differ from one vehicle manufacturer to another, generally passing the J1960 testing exposure of 1140KJ means that the fabric must not fade to a DeltaE of greater than 3 tested by optical color computer or decrease the tensil strength less than 50% of the original tensil strength. In the above samples, when the polyvinylchloride coated yarns (hereinafter referred to as "vinyl") were used in both the warp and fill or when the vinyl yarns were used in the warp solution dyed acrylic was in the fill, it exhibited a DeltaE of 1.5 or less while maintaining a tensil strength of at least 75%. However, when the vinyl warp was combined with a filament solution dyed polyester fill, while the DeltaE remained less than 1.5, the tensil strength in the polyester direction was only 59% of the original. Even when the vinyl/vinyl and vinyl/acrylic combinations were exposed at 1500KJ, both samples test at a DeltaE of 2 or less and maintain above a 70% level of original tensil strength. This exhibits very good sunlight/UV resistance.
The second criteria is abrasion resistance which is tested industry wide by Martindale Abrasion Testing Method ASTMD496698. Martindale testing may be used to evaluate the difference between the weight of the fabric before and after testing or to measure the difference in appearance (change in shade) before and after testing. Obviously the test sample is subjected to abrasion. Each automobile manufacturer has a different pass/fail criteria depending on how tightly the convertible top is compacted into the automobile well when the top is down. Tests pass/fail very greatly from less than 15,000 Martindale cycles on some automobiles to more than 100,000 cycles on some expensive European models where the top is very tightly packed in the down position. To achieve the 100,000+cycles, a topical additive is applied to help lubricate during the abrasion. The additive actually may be extricated early in the life cycle of the topping fabric in a washing/cleaning operation. The Martindale testing is done without topical additives. Comparisons of various products are set forth in the following table:
100% solution dyed acrylics 50,000 cycles pass (previous product) Vinyl warp/vinyl fill 70,000 cycles pass Vinyl warp/polyester filament fill 80,000 cycles pass Vinyl warp/acrylic fill 70,000 cycles pass
All samples in the above test pass at 100,000 cycles with various topical additives.
The third test is cleanability. The soil test generally used is the Ford Cleanability Procedure PN12-1 and PN112-08. In this test a fabric sample is soiled by a consistent method and then the fabric is cleaned. The fabric is scanned by colorimeter both before soiling, while soiled and after cleaning. The scan provides a reading. Colorimeter readings are compared before soiling and after cleaning. The vinyl/vinyl fabric exhibited a substantially superior cleaning result over the conventional acrylic/acrylic fabric.
While preferred embodiments of the invention have been described hereinabove, it is apparent other changes and modifications might be made without departing from the scope of the invention which is set forth in the accompanying claims.

FAQ: Political advertising on PinkNews.co.uk

Fair enough.
Although there does seem to be a Tory bias to this site.
Whenever (every 2 weeks on average) yet another extremist bigot crawls out of the woodwork in the Tory Party, please actually contact LGBTory to seek a comment from them. If LGBTory refuses to condemn Tory homophobia then it's evidence that LGBTory is nothing but a meaningless PR groups. And that alone is a big news story.
Also please stop 'sourcing' (stealing) so many stories from US websites. And if you do 'source' (steal) a story from a US website, please make an effort to make it reasonably relevant to your main UK based audience.
The current practice of using US stories to fill your pages looks cheap and amateuris
Does anyone believe in neutrality of news outlets? Not even news agencies such as Reuters are neutral … if you really want to get your balancing act together you need to work harder …
I was appalled to see the recent large banner ad from the 'NotKenAgain' group which was there for what felt like quite a while.
My concern was how large the ad became whenever you got your mouse anywhere near it and that, when clicking thru to their website, it took quite a while to fathom who the ad was actually FOR.
This struck me as decidely dodgy – it was in fact an ad in support of Boris Johnson's London Mayoral Campaign but this was in no way clear from the ad itself at all.
There has been a recent spate of Ken bashing on the comments boards – often out of step with the actual stories – much propaganda being quoted as fact to the point where it appeared pretty clear to me that certain groups were using Pink News boards as a way of spreading dis-information among the gay community.
Shortly after I had noticed this the ad appeared – all very 'timely'…
I have absolutely no problem with Pink News having political ads but I do object to:
1) Ads not clearly showing who they are actually in support of (especially if they are negative campaigns as in the 'NotKenAgain' Ad
2) Not having a political balance of various groups; again especially in this case of an incumbent Mayor – Boris Johnson – who has done less for LGBT people than his predecessor and using Pink News as an opportunity to smear his key opponent's campaign & historic contribution to the LGBT political struggle.
Lies and disinformation on key LGBT issues have no place inside Pink News regardless of how much money the campaign has put into Pink New's coffers to pay for the advertising space…
Strange to read the claims of bias to the Tories, I sometimes thought that Pink was biased towards Labour!

Hoping for good news on this. Muamba collapsed during an FA cup game vs. Tottenham about an hour ago. Suspected heart attack. Very sad news about this young man (only 23). Really puts everything into perspective during such a great sporting weekend. He was given CPR for 6 minutes on the pitch before being taken to the hospital.

They also target digestion stimulation and metabolism acceleration.
Think of our cold pressed juices as vitamin infusions. While you can use our drinks to execute a successful cleanse, we prefer to think that they are simple, well-needed additives to a busy, resource-sapped lifestyle. They provide critical vitamins and minerals that a lot of people just don't have the time to consume on a daily basis.
Not into cold pressed raw juice? We offer hand-crafted, protein packed nut milks and coconut water-based hydrating drinks, too.
Cold-pressed juice is very different from other kinds of juice. The kind you buy in the supermarket, even though it might say cold-pressed, has been pasteurized or put through high pressure pascalization, which means there's no live enzymes in it. Many of the juices from a juice bar are made with a centrifuge, which creates heat and whips air into fruit and vegetable matter, killing off a lot of the vitamins. If you don't drink those immediately, they'll lose almost all their vitamins within a half hour. With the cold press it goes through a cold macerator, so there's no heat used, and then they are hydraulically pressed, similar to pressing olive oil.

Mr. Lopez,
The bus you will see is a 1952 GM-PD-4103. Serial #-934. It was originally owned by Asbury Park-New York Transit Corp. (Rollo Transit Corp.). This bus is slated for restoration when I can afford to. Amazingly, it runs and drives great. It is 98% all there, but needs a lot of TLC.
My other buses include a 1958 TG-3102, a 1968 PD-4903 (x-PSCT NJ #-Z-619), and a 1975 TDH-4523A fishbowl. All are GM. I have access to a wide variety of buses through a friend who collects them. The world does not have enough bus nuts.
Best regards,
- Nick DeBenedetto

I put many miles on PD-4103s when I first started driving coaches. The 4103 was a big improvement over the Silversides in some ways, since it was quite a bit lighter and was an easy steerer. The A/C was marginal on the '03s, but somewhat better than the Silversides. Luggage space was inadequate for overnight charters, though. My favorite was an ex-Trailways around this same vintage. In fact, I think the serial number was very close to this one.

Hello Deser; Own a PD 4103 S,n 1462,which ran out of L A to Vegas,as I have been told. Sold in 60,s to Fresno Ca.) City Charter lines,and then to Joe P,of G&J freight.Joe,converted it to M/home and it was great job. Still looks great inside ,but has need of detailing. Most chrome still good. It is a runner. GM 6-71N,Has 90 Injectors,and 355 Rearend,and 80 MPH at 1900.Changed tire size to metric 275R70 and gained 1/2 gear on hills.I drove many MC9's and some 6&8 models for Community college in Fresno.Wish to sell to someone who won't need much but $$ to bring up to fun. Use all Amsoil in drive train,plus By-Pass filter,and starts like new all the time.
Good to talk to you. Regards, Al B
DeserTBoB | Nov 01, 2011 | 9:00 pm
@Al, you are VERY lucky to find the 3.56 "Texas" rear end, although they did show up on a lot of the ex-Trailways '03s, as well as the TNM&O 4104s from 1956-7. Those with the 3.56 were real ticket getters on the flat, but dogs in the mountains. We did have one 4104, from 1957, that was delivered to LTR with the 3.56. It was the second fastest bus in the fleet. The fastest was a Crown tandem recliner we had with a NHH220 Cummins and a 12 speed air split Spicer. It would do 102 MPH at 2100 RPM. Although not as "refined" as the GMs, those Crowns were really great coaches.

ATTN: Al Bianco or any other 4102/3 owners: An NOS right side W/S glass has shown up on eBay today for $900. This will get bid up to probably a grand or more, but these are IMPOSSIBLE to get. If you're serious about glass replacement, bid now. eBay...

I have a 1952 4103 Detroit 671, need some HV-6 injectors, mine is hitting on 3 cylinders, would like to drop 3 working injectors in and see what I have engine wise before I spend much money working on it.
Any help appreciated
DeserTBoB | Nov 10, 2011 | 2:06 pm
When it cranks up on 3 cyls, do you get "white fog" coming out of the exhaust with it or no? If the bus has been sitting for years with fuel up on the top deck, they're probably plugged with algae. One way to tell is to pull a jumper and see how much crud is in it. Clean them all out (I used to use Brakleen, oddly enough), turque them back down after flushing the pump, and see what happens. If you are getting "fog" with the other 3 hitting, you may have some compression problems. Do you let it try to warm up a little like this?

on the greyhound pd4103 bus why are some windows able to open and some were solid where they would not slide?
jeremy | Sep 10, 2012 | 9:31 pm
hi, i have a 1951 silversides just wandering if you know what they are worth, been thinking about selling, but haven't parted with it yet they kinda grow on you little, i was told it was roughly worth 25.000 to 28.000 but dont know you dont see 1951s on the internet you can find older ones, and newer but no 51s, are these rarer or can you put me in touch with someone that could help me, would be greatly appreciated, thanks
Al Bianco---Amsoil Jobber | Sep 11, 2012 | 3:02 pm
Jeremy; That is a Early (under500 ),S/n 4103 or 4102 Model.Does it have a directional signal with a lighted Arrow in front and rear??That is a 4102 ;my later 03 ( s/n 1462 ),has round Orange colored Glass directionals. Both had Yellow Fog lights shine thru Bumper,with switch next to Brights switch. There are two or three in Calif,not sure if running yet. Mine is in top operational shape as a 25 year old Motor Home conversion.Your unit Might have that value as Original,untouched motor coach,but only to collectors,or similar markets.
Better decide quick,because it will grow on ytou,the longer you keep it in your family,like one of your children.
All the Best,Big Al B
Al Bianco---Amsoil Jobber | Sep 11, 2012 | 3:18 pm
Nick De B;
Hi Nick. Have a good number Ideas on how to change the performance of your 4103 ,as mine is a great runner. Has 3:55 rear gears and got it to run local and hills along with some later MC 9's speed,with 740 Allisons. My 3rd gear will run up hills at 2000RPM and 44-49 MPH,and loves every minute. Used to run 1500 ,not so good for Gimmy,even with 90MM injectors. Would your friend have source for a Driver's side w/shield at a fair price? Kids thru rock at it after it was replaced for 2 weeks,about 10 years ago.Cannot find another. Start the Coach every week,even in winter,use 100% synthetic oil and it Will start,even then-down to -40DegF.
Enjoy that great old reliable coach,known to start all others that failed in a fleet.All the Best Big Al Bianco
jeremy | Sep 11, 2012 | 4:43 pm
thanks al my bus has been converted into a motor home, it runs great, motor has approx 120.000 on a rebuild, it has a 4 in the floor, for the age it will move pretty good, my frame under driver seat says 4103, and i will have to check on the signal lenses it is parked at another place for now don't have room for it as of yet, so it does need remodeled tho, good thing i am a carpenter to would not like to pay that remodel bill, but anyway, if i got a decent offer i guess i would sell it, i have had it about 2 an a half years and i have not put more than 200 miles on it, will check back with you later, have a good one..
jeremy | Sep 12, 2012 | 1:44 pm
another question what did you mean by early under 500
Al Bianco---Amsoil Jobber | Sep 12, 2012 | 5:56 pm
Jeremy; Referred to lower than 500 serial numbers could be classified as 4102 model,and that would have the Arrow signal lights. THe pic above shows the round directionals.Still looking for a buy in driver side w/shield ,crazy,never give up,I guess.
Enjoy the coach,as they are unique. I named ours "Andiamo", --Let's Go ,in Italian
Matthew Gwaltney | Jun 03, 2013 | 11:43 pm
hey Jeremy, you mentioned last September that you'd consider selling if you got a decent offer. what is a decent offer to you? I am looking for a 4103 to convert so my wife and 4 kids and I can travel the USA. If it runs, lets get together and make something happen.
Al Bianco | Jun 06, 2013 | 11:49 am
Matthew; Are you interested in a conversion,or plan to buy lesser $$ to convert yourself. I May consider selling my 4103 ,which is explained somewhat above ,at about what Jeremy has indicated price-wiae in $25 K area.Will need some updating,in appliances,which are not automatic and working well, will sleep up to 5 and seat 15 due to Settee in rear converts to 6x8 bed.Has 60% fresh 255/70.22.5 rear;235/70.22.5 front 90%,for lowering 3:55 rear axle gears;Brake rebuild recent,Silversides/bumpers good,,needs top and windows/bottom & sides paint. Does NOT leak oil.
Can discuss further,if interested.
Regards, Al B.
Matthew Gwaltney | Jun 08, 2013 | 9:31 pm
Hey Al, could you send me some pictures of your 4103? Inside and out, front and back.
Al Bianco | Jun 10, 2013 | 11:48 am
Hello Matthew; Will do,as soon as I can access from computer and camera. MY grandson will help with that. Thanks for your interest,and inform that we are firm on the price,but also seek good use of the Coach,too. You know that it has a four speed Transmission,or did I forget to mention that. Also that all components are treated with Amsoil 100% synthetic Lubes,and that insure best lube maintenance. Thanks again for your interest. Al B Mobile:559.281.4804
jeremy | Sep 30, 2013 | 10:07 pm
hey matthew did you ever find a bus yet, just now ran across your inquiry, sorry, if you are still interested email me at email@example.com
Matthew Gwaltney | Oct 01, 2013 | 9:56 am
Thank you gentlemen, I did find a bus. I ended up going with a '68 4107. Needs a little work, but it is all there, and the price was well within my budget.

River improvements great, but why denigrate its past?
Regarding "Economic opportunities bubble up along river" (Business news feature, Sept. 19): As a native Oklahoma City resident, I'm both excited and impressed by the transformation of the Oklahoma River as it runs through the heart of Oklahoma City. I support the development of that part of Oklahoma City. A world-class rowing center is a source of pride. However, I take exception with the article's denigration of the river as "a waterway that was a mere ditch and an embarrassment to the city a dozen years ago."
Embarrassment? Really? The river, with its broad flood plain and seasonal water flow, is precisely what's native to this environment. The improvements along a handful of miles are great. Why, though, do you have to denigrate what God and nature made in order to lift up what civic leaders have accomplished?
Mark Christian, Oklahoma City

Vertebral implants such as spinal hooks are sometimes used in spinal implant systems for the treatment of spinal deformities and fractures. Conditions for which spinal implants may be indicated include degenerative disc disease, vertebral fractures, scoliosis, or other conditions that cause instability of the spine. One type of spinal implant comprises hooks and/or pedicle screws attached to rods on one or each lateral side of the vertebrae. As surgical techniques advance, minimally intrusive procedures requiring smaller incisions are more commonly used to attach spinal implants such as these. As such, the surgical insertion tools that are used to hold and insert the implant components are a part of this improving trend.
Many conventional insertion tools grasp the spinal implant components about the exterior of the component. Further, some conventional insertion tools may not provide an optimal angle of approach for inserting the component, particularly with small surgical incisions. Accordingly, improvements in surgical insertion tools may help advance the trend towards less intrusive surgical procedures.
Embodiments of a surgical installation tool are disclosed. The installation tool may be used to insert a vertebral implant into a patient. The vertebral implant may be attached to one end of the installation tool. The attachment end of the installation tool may include an engagement member that is movable between engaged and released positions. The engagement member may be outwardly biased so that it naturally rests in the released position. The engagement member may be inwardly movable from the released position to the engaged position. A reactive force caused by the inward deflection may supply the attachment force between the installation tool and the vertebral implant. The attachment between the vertebral implant to the installation tool may be maintained while the engagement member is in the engaged position.
The various embodiments disclosed herein are directed to a low profile surgical implant insertion tool. An exemplary embodiment of the insertion tool 10 is illustrated in
The retainer 20 is shaped to fill much of the saddle portion 52 of the hook 50. In the embodiment shown, the saddle portion 52 comprises spaced apart side walls 54 having a substantially U-shaped open channel therebetween. It is between these side walls 54 that a spinal rod 60 of a spinal implant system is inserted. In the illustrated embodiment of a hook 50, the side walls 54 include a threaded central portion 56 into which a retaining member 70 is inserted to secure the rod 60 within the saddle portion 52 of the hook 50.
The retainer 20 has a generally U-shaped configuration, which permits insertion of the retainer 20 into the saddle portion 52 of the hook 50. The retainer 20 further comprises a plurality of biasing members 22. In this embodiment, the biasing members 22 are configured as cantilevered leaf springs and operate as engagement elements that contact the hook 50. Furthermore, in the embodiment shown, the retainer 20 has four biasing members 22, though a different number may be used. The insertion tool 10 is configured such that, when the retainer 20 is inserted into the saddle 52 of the hook 50 as shown in
The exemplary insertion tool 10 also includes an enlarged flange 14 adjacent to the retainer 20. The flange 14 serves to limit the depth to which the hook 50 may be inserted onto the retainer 20. In addition, the flange 14 permits the application of an insertion force in the direction indicated by the letter F in
As described above and shown in
The U-shaped configuration of the retainer 20 is more clearly visible in the frontal view shown in
An alternative embodiment of a retainer 120 is illustrated in
The biasing member 122 further comprises a gap 123 that is larger than a corresponding orienting feature 133 in the body portion 134 of the plug 130. This relationship among these features is more readily visible in
In yet another embodiment of a retainer 220 illustrated in
As with the embodiment of the retainer 20 shown in
In another embodiment of a retainer 320 illustrated in
The present invention may be carried out in other specific ways than those herein set forth without departing from the scope and essential characteristics of the invention. For example, while certain embodiments described above have contemplated engaging a threaded portion 56 on the interior of the sidewall 54 of hook 50, other hooks may have threaded portions on the exterior of the sidewall 54 or transversely formed through the sidewalls 54. However, the friction forces applied by the various biasing members 22, 122, 222 may be generally applied to the inner surface 58 of the sidewalls 54, regardless of the positioning or existence of threads.
Furthermore, while a hook 50 has been used as an exemplary implant that may be placed with the insertion tool 10, other implant devices may be positioned using the insertion tool. For instance, pedicle screws, clamps for securing a rod to a plate, and other items featuring a rod clamp similar to the illustrated saddle 52 of hook 50 may be inserted and positioned using the insertion tool 10 disclosed herein. The present embodiments are, therefore, to be considered in all respects as illustrative and not restrictive, and all changes coming within the meaning and equivalency range of the appended claims are intended to be embraced therein.
Spatially relative terms such as "under", "below", "lower", "over", "upper", "distal", "proximal", and the like, are used for ease of description to explain the positioning of one element relative to a second element. Further, the terms "down", "downward", "up", "upward", and the like, are used to explain the positioning of the elements as viewed in the Figures. These terms are intended to encompass different orientations of the device in addition to different orientations than those depicted in the figures. Further, terms such as "first", "second", and the like, are also used to describe various elements, regions, sections, etc and are also not intended to be limiting.

I ordered and recieved these bins knowing I had a 50-50 chance of these things being a hit or miss. I knew they're cheap, but I've had great luck with cheap bins in the past. I guess my expectations were too high... Well, The first thing that I had to deal with was Fed Ex blew off the delivery two days in a row, good reason I work for UPS. The next thing I noticed when I opened the box was HORRIBLE packing, Hayneedle used those inflatable air bag-thingys and almost all of them were de-flated... So the bins were in their thinly padded so-called case and I knew right away I was in for a treat, yea, the bad kind.
I pulled these out and before I looked through them, I KNEW I was gonna have to collimate them. Sure enough, as much as I tried to correct these, I simply couldn't get these to line up for the life of me. I'm sure the horrible pack job contributed to these most likely broken, but "cheap" quality bins.
I would NOT recommend these for anyone. Funny thing about this story is, I filled out an online return form and Hayneedle said they will send me a return check in 7-10 days and it said NOT to return them. Ha ha!!! They don't even want them back!!!

I got these and had the same alignment problem even though the shipping and packing had no issues.
They are now parts. I got some Nikon 12x50s on sale and those are fantastic. I do miss the aperture though useless as it was.
I hope others have had better luck!

It is not that I want to face all these tax increases, but the day the Legislature started spending instead of investing Bonus and Royalty income, what has happened this year became inevitable. This is not TV; there is no instant replay. There is only one question: do you want to go back to the stone age, or to pay enough tax to have a civilized way of life?
How can the State of Alaska even squabble over funding education? Our children are not just numbers. Sometimes adults get so caught up in making money work they forget that one tiny, simple, fact. In an ideal world money would never be a worry but unfortunately that is not the case. Adults know this and have to make tough decisions. Those tough decisions should not and can not affect the education of the youth. When does money mean more than the future? Shame on us for not realizing the greatest asset the state of Alaska has to develop is the youth.
My previous letter asked that veterans' clubs and fraternal organizations be exempted from SB 1 and HB 328, or a statute be passed directing smoking or non-smoking signs be posted on their entrances. My reasons were given.
I read a recent letter to the editor that supports those bills, indicating all workers have the right to breathe smoke free air. To my knowledge, there is no Alaska wide law or federal law giving everyone the right to breathe smoke free air. There is one, though, that guarantees a freedom of choice.
Let's make the assumption that Alaskans will generate as much pot revenue as Colorado per capita. Using the 2010 census numbers Alaskan population was 710,231 and Colorado was 5,029,196 for a ratio of 14 percent.
The Research Based Consulting McDowell Group prepared "The Economic Costs of Alcohol and Other Drug Abuse in Alaska 2012 Update" for the 'Alaska Mental Health Board.'
As Chief Executive Officer of Peninsula Community Health Services of Alaska (PCHS), one of my responsibilities is to ensure that our organization establishes workplace policies that protect the health of both our employees and our clients. For that reason, PCHS has a 100 percent tobacco-free campus policy, including e-cigarettes and other electronic vaping systems. Unfortunately, not all Alaska workers are protected from the dangers of secondhand smoke and secondhand aerosol in the workplace.
Kenai Middle School and their Shinny Hockey Club would like to thank Rick Koch, Bob Frates and the City of Kenai for their continued support and use of the skating rink. Each year during the dark of winter, Kenai Middle School offers many unique club opportunities to their students. For six Fridays during third quarter, students are able to choose from a menu of club offerings. The menu includes the following: hockey, rock wall climbing, arts/crafts, dodge ball and many other interesting offerings.
Without going into the details of either Senator McGuire's bill SB114 or the Governors Bill SB128, I would say both approaches get right at the problem, which is smoothing the oil price volatility in our single commodity economy. Both bills are just variations on the same idea, using the earnings reserve to provide long term fiscal stability to our economy.
My name is Jackson Blackwell and I am a Junior at Soldotna High School. Senate Bill 1 and House Bill 328, also known as the "take it outside" acts protect the health and safety of all Alaskans. These bills would simply ask individuals to not smoke inside of public workplaces. Being teenagers myself and my friends are all looking to get jobs so we can start making money to pay for college. Unfortunately, not all of us have the choice to chose between a pay check and the right to breathe clean air.
In the Monday edition of the Peninsula Clarion there was an article by Elizabeth Earl describing the Alaska State Legislature considering a sockeye stamp for anglers. In the article it described the stamp being required for individual anglers, not personal-use fisheries (dipnetters), nor guide businesses that increase the traffic on both rivers to the point that local residents don't want to fight the boat traffic and rude operations of some of those companies.
Not only is there no smoking in most places, now they want to make it statewide! This is more government control and taking away more of our rights and our freedoms. When is this going end? I feel that smokers should be able to have a place to go and have their enjoyments also. We know it is not for us but it is our choice not the medical field and not health and social services. I don't know why people think they know more on how I should live than I do.
