The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives raided EP Armory, in Bakersfield, California Friday, along with owner Chris Cook's home. Details at this point are still very thin, but Cook says that agents indicated that they are looking for "illegal guns." From ABC 23 News:
The ATF was not able to provide information on the on-going investigation. Grahm Barlowe with the ATF declined to comment on why the store was targeted or exactly what agents were looking for.
Cook said agents told him they were looking for illegal firearms.
EP Armory is known mostly for its innovative "80% complete" AR-15 receivers. Such receivers, by virtue of still needing some machining in order to serve as the foundation of a firearm, are, legally speaking, just an inert hunk of metal--or in this case, strong (Kevlar-reinforced) polymer. That means they can be legally sold to anyone, without background checks, without the necessity of a serial number, without a requirement for records--almost as if there were a Constitutional amendment stating that by the absolute law of the land, we the people have a right to arms--a right that shall not be infringed.
One of the innovative features of EP Armory's receivers is that the machining can be done without a drill press or milling machine, or even a jig. By using different color polymers for the portions that are to be milled away, a drill and a Dremel can be all that is needed to convert a hunk of plastic into Congressman Henry Waxman's (D-CA) nightmare (see sidebar video for the process).
It should be noted that the BATFE arrested no one, and in fact eventually permitted EP Armory to re-open later Friday, although they confiscated Cook's files, laptop, cell phone and iPad. While at this point it is impossible to know what gave them the idea that they might find "illegal guns," one can speculate. Could it be that, by virtue of the ease (and lack of required tooling) of completing the lower receiver, the BATFE has determined that the incomplete lower receivers are more than 80% complete, and are thus to be treated by the law as functional firearms (and thus "illegal" firearms, because the company was not going through the legal hoops required for complete receivers)? Quantifying just what percentage of machining remains to be done, after all, is rather subjective, which gives the agency quite a lot of wiggle room to arbitrarily harass whomever they want.
And it's not as if the BATFE does not have a history of doing just that with makers of 80% complete receivers. In 2006, the BATFE raided KT Ordnance in Montana, eventually charged the owner, and bizarrely charged one of the inert hunks of metal produced at KT Ordnance, before finally dropping the case (KR has gone on to sell over 10,000 incomplete receivers). To this point, the goings-on at EP Armory are looking alarmingly familiar.
It is, of course, entirely possible that the BATFE does have a reasonable suspicion that Cook and EP Armory have violated federal gun laws. Since those laws are unconstitutional abominations, that would still not excuse their actions, but one could argue that such a scenario would be somewhat less arbitrarily vindictive tyranny than bringing the power of the federal government to bear against someone whose only "crime" is making the palladium of liberty more easily accessible to more people.
In the meantime, EP would probably appreciate some business coming their way, and who doesn't need a homemade AR-15?
Update: National Gun Rights Examiner David Codrea, writing for his War on Guns blog, notes a possible link to this story about an alleged large-scale illegal firearm fabricating operation in California. That is quite possible, but even if true, of course, it is also very possible that EP Armory has done nothing illegal, even if their products were used in the operation.

The Dowel Roller kite floated up on 1 or 2 weak thermals in extremely light conditions today. I didn't take any video since the results would be very boring - an almost stationary kite against an unchanging blue background! However, I made the best of it and there were a few mildly interesting moments.
Getting the Dowel Roller kite up there to begin with was a bit of a job. After 2 or 3 short flights down low, I resorted to jogging up and back along the fence line, towing the Roller up to 80 feet or so.
Still not enough breeze, although the kite seemed to clear the wind gradient at around 50 feet.
The kite had new sail ties, and seemed to be pulling to the right, so I tensioned up one of the ties to flatten the sail a little on that side.
This worked, and I had fun for a while, hovering the kite just centimeters from the grass with more than 30 meters (100 feet) of line out.
Finally I walked the kite to the far side of the reserve and jogged back, letting line slip through my fingers but holding just enough tension to climb the kite. By the time I ran out of room, the Roller was around 150 feet up and just hanging there with hardly any tension in the line.
Even so, this was the start of a series of let-outs and pull-ins as I attempted to climb higher. Sometimes there was no option but to take in line when it started laying on the grass! 90 meters (300 feet) was the most line I could get out, but the Roller was never higher than a 30 degree angle.
There was some very weak thermal lift about, and one little climb occurred where the line slipped out at a snail's pace. Although some distance downwind, the Roller drifted vertically up for 30 feet or so.
This day was an example of where the kite cannot achieve anywhere near its maximum line angle, even though the wind strength was enough to keep it in the air.
The Dowel Roller kite proved itself to be a reasonable light-wind kite, although not quite on a par with the MBK Delta or Rokkaku.
Finally, I brought the kite right down to my hand, slowly winding line onto the winder. It wasn't such a bad flying session after all! Of the few flights the Roller has had, this was the highest it's been.
The story above was an actual flying experience with the described kite. My write-ups are definitely warts-and-all since things don't always go totally as planned. However, half the fun of kiting is anticipating the perfect flight. When it happens, it's magic!
I also do shorter-format write-ups from time to time, as blog posts. Similar to what you have just read. However, they have all been archived and are available as an email series.

The new Giant Defy 1 2014 has finally been released and is still at the same price tag of £999.99. I know some of you may be thinking "but it is the middle of 2013," but this seems a common occurrence nowadays. The Giant Defy 1 of 2013 received numerous awards including the best road bike for under a £1000 and Bicycling.com's Editors Choice . The two new colours for the Giant Defy 1 are blue :
and black and red :
I feel both colours are an improvement on last years especially the blue what is visually very stunning. The specification of the new 2014 Defy 1 has not changed from last year and its body still has an Aluxx SL aluminium frame with carbon forks, backed up with full Shimano 105 Gear set. To see a full specification of the Giant Defy 1 2014 please click here.
I personally find the Giant Defy range of bikes are perfect for commuting on or to be used as sportive bikes. I have rode both the 2013 and 2014 model and they are a very comfortable ride, this is mainly due to the long head tube on the frame and the raise in the handlebar position. The Defy is still a very fast bike to ride and I have found that it climbs and corners better than a lot of road bikes I have tried with a lot more significant price tags.
If you are to search the internet for reviews on the Defy 1 you will notice how so many mention how good the quality of the frame is. Firstly it is very light for an aluminium frame due to the way it is engineered in the Giant factories, other brands we do feel heavy when compared at the same price. The frame is also very responsive but at the same time will give and take the edge out of a rougher road. I would also say that the same frame is used on all the Defy models from 1-5 so if you cannot afford the defy 1 and go for a lower model you will still have a brilliant frame to add new parts to in the future. One final note of caution, Giant still are using compact road sizing on these models so for example a 58cm frame – XL is bigger than usual road sizing, Giant suggest this frame size is for someone 6″4′ and over.
I would definitely recommend this bike to anyone looking around £1,000 area and higher. As I previously explained the bike is aimed at the long journey sportive rider or as a good commuting bike and can be bought on the cyclescheme. As the same as the previous years model we are selling the Defy 1 2014 at £995.00 with £150.00 worth of spares free with the bike and both are available on the website now : Giant Defy 1 2014 Black : Giant Defy 1 2014 Blue

In the analytical and supposedly sectarian-neutral Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), its director John Brennan has publicly declared that the al-Qaeda terrorist network is improperly and purposefully misinterpreting the sacred writ of the followers of Mohammed, as reported by the right-of-center Cybercast News Service (CNSNews.com) on March 11, 2014.
While responding during the question and answer segment of his visit to the Council on Foreign Relations, Director Brennan was asked of "the 'war of ideas' surrounding Islam, which the questioner said many Americans tend to equate with violence."
The intel honcho delved into the actual definition of what is the correct and incorrect tenets of Islam vice an analytical study of combating a known rather viscous terrorist group known to target not only American men, women and children, but those of our allies as well.
In his response, Brennan referred to al-Qaeda and presumably their numerous affiliates as:
A perverse and very corrupt interpretation of the Qur'an.
One of the things that I'm struck with when I travel throughout the Middle East and I meet with leaders, military and civilian – these are individuals who are Qur'anic scholars themselves and they are the ones who are most annoyed at how al-Qaeda has hijacked their religion and how they have really distorted the teachings of Mohammed, you know, for violent purposes.
Brennan went on to refer to the al-Qaeda agenda of violence and death as an "ideology" that happens to be gaining traction in many regions of the civilized world due to a "lack of education and ignorance" as well as "you know, political repression, by economic, you know, disenfranchisement."
Director Brennan's assertion flies in the face of a 2009 Rand Corporation study conducted for the Department of Defense which noted:
Terrorists are not particularly impoverished, uneducated, or afflicted by mental disease. Demographically, their most important characteristic is normalcy (within their environment).
Terrorist leaders actually tend to come from relatively privileged backgrounds. Terrorists turn out to be more rather than less educated than the general population.
CNSNews.com also noted that Usama bin-Laden was quite wealthy, the son of a Saudi billionaire.
Also noted was that bin-Laden's al-Qaeda successor, Ayman al-Zawahiri, is a medical physician, while the 9/11 attack mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed has a degree in engineering.

UMass Hoops Earns First NCAA Tournament Bid Since 1998
March 16, 2014
AMHERST, Mass. - The Massachusetts men's basketball team is dancing once again. The Minutemen were selected as an at-large participant in the 2014 NCAA Division I Men's Basketball Championship on Sunday, earning the program's ninth bid and first since 1998.
Sixth-seeded UMass (24-8) will face the winner of Iowa (20-12)/Tennessee (21-12) on Friday at the PNC Arena in Raleigh, N.C. The UMass game will be aired on CBS at approximately 2:45 p.m. ET, following the Duke-Mercer game at 12:15 p.m.
UMass is led by senior guard Chaz Williams, who averages 15.8 points and 7.0 assists per game. He is a three-time first team all-Atlantic 10 and all-district selection.
Head coach Derek Kellogg is in his sixth season at his alma mater - Class of 1995 - and has led the team to three-consecutive 20-win seasons for the first time since the program had six-straight from 1991-96.
UMass has reached the NCAA Tournament eight times in program history. The first team to do so was the 1962 squad. The Minutemen reached the tournament for seven consecutive years from 1992 through its last appearance in 1998.
The Minutemen are 11-8 all-time which includes three Sweet 16, two Elite Eight and one Final Four appearances.

Wordless Wednesday: Happy Birthday Baby K
Today my Baby K is ONE ... it's official he is no longer a "baby"…
This has been a journey and a half with my now seven year old son, Aj. First day he was born I could tell you something wasn't right, he was more angry than happy. It appeared my son had inherited something that runs heavily in the gene pool; bipolar. So it began, a lot of testing and counseling to ensure we were parenting the way Aj would respond. Aj had test after test, all coming back that he was a normal child as far as brain goes and most of the developmental areas. Sure Aj was not speaking much by 15 months of age, but he ended up having glued up gunk on his left ear drum from too many ear infections as a child, tubes in ears were placed and voila, the child blossomed in speech. For every little milestone not met, there ended up being some medical reason. Nothing really waved a red flag other than the fact that Aj had a mood disorder going on. At first they wanted to say he was ADHD, but after ADHD medication gone bad, we realized that wasn't the right diagnosis. After many years of counseling, parenting techniques taught to us and medication after medication for mood disorder as well as the one time try of Prozac for anxiety, it has now been brought into the light that maybe Aj is on the autism spectrum.
As we met with the counselor that has seen Aj from a young child to the current year, the observations I was making about Aj started to raise a light bulb with both the counselor and myself. I've been thinking the autism spectrum for a while with Aj but never did he have such strong symptoms of autism until this past month without medication. Aj hasn't been on any medication since January 20th, 2014. In time I have noticed some things about Aj, that while some were there from the beginning, they are far more visible to everyone in his world now as time has gone on.
As time has gone on, now over a month and a half of Aj without medication, I am seeing the need for him to have more than one blanket to fall asleep. The need for everything at bedtime to go as planned, so let's say his five year old brother goes off kilter and starts being silly during bedtime book time, Aj cannot handle it and will get fixated on something. If Aj has anything happen to deter him from his path of normalcy he will get into a frustrated mindset where he can be found to quickly go thru the home and hit things, throw things and just have a total rageful fit. I have noticed, as of late, his quick frustrations or rageful fits are derived from something not happening in the way they normally do or in the way Aj has it in his mind they should happen.
Aj thrives on electronics, the counselor has advised us to take them away from his life as much as possible and since they are such an important part of his world, to use them more of an incentive based privilege versus a norm thing in his daily life. Using the electronics as a privilege has really helped to get Aj come back down to Earth at times during his frustrations. I have had to restrain Aj more often than not these past couple of weeks due to frustrations beyond his control. I have had to hear him spout off words like dumby, liar, stupid … all words he rarely ever used in the past. My heart breaks watching Aj fall apart because the more each day goes on, the more I see a child that looks a lot like Max in the series on prime-time TV called Parenthood.
While it doesn't matter to me what label is placed on my son Aj, I just need something to figure out what's going on. I already know how to parent Aj, he is a unique child who thrives on routine. I do everything in my power to ensure his day is full of things that take on a daily routine, and in the Summer I even create a poster board with times for everything so that the days go by much smoother. Even my oldest, and only daughter, stated that Aj did really well this past Summer when I started using a poster board schedule for the family.
We have some great times around here, Aj isn't really as moody as I once thought him to be. In the past he had two moods; angry or sad. There really was not happiness. I imagined my son Aj a lot like my sister who has bipolar. Still to this day with some of the symptoms Aj shows, I can see a slight mood disorder as part of him, but overall I am hearing my inner mom gut scream Autism. I asked the counselor about this and he said that mood and anxiety can take a part in Autism. I had no clue. I am meeting with Aj's pediatrician in a week or two as a means to get Aj in for an autism evaluation. I never knew they had such a thing, but this is our next step in the journey of raising Aj. For now, I know what he needs; routine, routine, routine and as much of a free spirit person I am – I have to learn to be more routine driven for the sake of my middle child's growth.
We have previously questioned autism, so did Aj's counselor but now the signs are far more than I can share in this one blog post, just know that I trust my instinct with my child and I also trust his counselor a lot!
If you have any resources for autism, such as a check list of symptoms or what not, that I can review to really get a grasp on things to share with the pediatrician for our appointment, that would be great. As this pediatrician hasn't been so helpful in the past and I want so badly for her to hear me and help my son this time around!
There's not much better than being a mama. 🙂 I love it more than I've loved anything else I've done (or will ever do), hands down, period.
Rosey´s last blog post ..Only When You're a Kid
Well, this comment went to the wrong place (cuz I'm a dingo).
BUT! for what you've written here, it makes me kind of sad because we have friends whose child was just diagnosed w/Bipolar I and she's on her third attempt at medicine. Everything has these awful side effects (making her dizzy, loopy whatever). I have heard and read about Bipolar, and I'm not expert, but I really don't think she has it. Her parents believe she does and got a dr. to agree. I hope I'm wrong and she gets what she needs (though no one seems to know what it is). The road to proper diagnosis and then proper medicine seems so very challenging. You seem to really do a wonderful job with it. Your son is a lucky little guy. 🙂

Overview | Presenter Information | Agenda | Resources | Archive
The Health Resources and Services Administrations Maternal and Child Health Bureau (MCHB) is pleased to announce an upcoming DataSpeak program on findings from the brand new 2007 National Survey of Childrens Health (NSCH). This will be one of the very first presentations on the results of this important survey. The NSCH, funded by MCHB in partnership with the National Center for Health Statistics, examines the physical and emotional health of children from birth through 17 years of age. Emphasis is placed on factors that may be related to the well-being of children, including medical homes, family interactions, parental health, school experiences, and neighborhood safety.
The first presenter for the DataSpeak program will be Dr. Stephen Blumberg, who is the lead statistician for the State and Local Area Integrated Telephone Survey, which is the random-digit-dial survey mechanism used to conduct the NSCH. He will provide a foundation for the discussion by describing the conduct of the survey, including methods used to collect data, response rates, and differences in design between the 2003 and 2007 NSCH surveys. Dr. Michael Kogan, the director of MCHBs Office of Data and Program Development, will then discuss the purpose and potential uses for the survey, as well as highlights of findings. To round out the discussion, Dr. Christina Bethell, founding Director of The Child and Adolescent Health Measurement Initiative, will discuss how to access results of the survey through the MCHB-supported Data Resource Center for Child and Adolescent Health. Dr. Bethell will also present selected NSCH results at the State level.

Dec. 23, 2004
By KEN PETERS
AP Sports Writer
LAS VEGAS - Corey Bramlet drilled a 12-yard touchdown pass to John Wadkowski with 57 seconds left Thursday night to give Wyoming its first bowl victory in 38 years, a 24-21 win over UCLA.
Bramlet finished 20-of-34 for 307 yards and two touchdowns. He took the Cowboys 72 yards to the winning score on a drive that began with 4:02 remaining.
He kept the drive alive with a quarterback sneak on a fourth-and-1 at the Bruins' 27. A pass interference call against UCLA cornerback Matt Clark moved the ball to the 12, and Bramlet found Wadkowski open across the middle.
Wyoming (7-5) had lost six straight bowl games dating to a 1966 Sun Bowl victory over Florida State. The Cowboys hadn't played in a bowl since 1993, when Kansas State beat them 52-17 in the Copper Bowl.
Jovon Bouknight of Wyoming had five catches for 107 yards and threw a touchdown pass.
Trailing 21-10, the Cowboys closed within four points on a trick play early in the fourth quarter, with Bouknight throwing a 22-yard scoring pass to J.J. Raterink off a reverse.
Bramlet rallied the Cowboys after UCLA reserve quarterback David Koral threw two touchdown passes to put the Bruins ahead.
Koral, a junior college transfer who hadn't thrown a pass for UCLA, took over when Drew Olson went down with a sprained left knee 4:47 before halftime and the Bruins trailing 10-7.
Koral's second college pass went for a 17-yard touchdown to Craig Bragg with 1:50 left in the half, then he connected on a 25-yarder to Bragg midway though the third quarter to build the lead to 21-10.
Maurice Drew rushed for 126 yards on 25 carries for UCLA.
The Bruins (6-6) beat New Mexico 27-13 in the 2002 Las Vegas Bowl, its only win in their last six bowl appearances.
Koral finished 7-of-12 for 89 yards and the two touchdowns. Olson, who was 6-of-12 for 96 yards and one TD, twisted his knee on a sack by John Flora.
Wyoming took a 10-0 lead in the first quarter before the favored Bruins began to come back.
UCLA closed the gap to 10-7 in the second quarter on Olson's 29-yard scoring pass to Junior Taylor. Koral, who had appeared in two games and taken only five snaps for the Bruins, scrambled to his right and threw accurately on the dead run to Bragg in the right side of the end zone to put the Bruins up 14-10.
Bragg made a spectacular leaping grab and got his feet down just inbounds in the end zone for the third-quarter TD that gave the Bruins an 11-point lead.
The Cowboys jumped out to their 10-0 lead on a 10-yard touchdown pass from Bramlet to Tyler Holden, set up when Zach Morris recovered a fumble by UCLA's Chris Markey at the Bruins' 29.
Deric Yaussi's 39-yard field goal got the Cowboys on the board with 5:57 left in the opening quarter. A 56-yard pass from Bramlet to Bouknight to the Bruins' 30 led to the field goal.

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Prolonged red blood cell (RBC) storage may be associated with increased post-transfusion morbidity and mortality. A contributing factor is RBC storage lesions. We analysed the role of additive conservation solutions, either hypertonic or isotonic, on such cell properties. MATERIALS AND METHODS: After blood donation in citrate-phosphate-dextrose as an anticoagulant, 10 RBC units were stored with saline-adenine-glucose-mannitol (SAGM; 376 mOsm/l) and 10 units with phosphate-adenine-glucose-guanosin-saline-mannitol (PAGGSM; 285 mOsm/l). Measurements were made on days 1 and 42 of storage. RESULTS: The mean cellular volume measured by centrifuged microhaematocrit increased from 87.6 +/- 3.1 fl to 100.7 +/- 4.3 fl in PAGGSM and to 92.2 +/- 2.5 fl in SAGM (P < 0.001) on day 1, after 42 days it was 95.8 +/- 4.0 fl and 93.8 +/- 3.9 fl, respectively. Spontaneous haemolysis and osmotic fragility were lower after storage in PAGGSM. Both additives showed a similar degree of echinocytosis, decreased RBC aggregability and deformability, and increased RBC suspension viscosity after storage. CONCLUSIONS: The isotonic PAGGSM prevented the initial RBC swelling caused by citrate-phosphate-dextrose less than hypertonic SAGM, but reduced the spontaneous haemolysis rate and osmotic fragility after 42 days of storage. All other parameters, such as echinocytosis, decreased RBC deformability and aggregability, and increased blood viscosity was similar for both additive solutions and remained a major problem of blood banking.

The Delaware State Fire Marshal's Office has determined a garage fire that occurred the evening of April 15 was accidental in nature.
The fire was reported by the homeowner shortly before 9 p.m. in the 3100 block of Mud Mill Road, west of Wyoming, said state Chief Deputy Fire Marshal B. Scott Bullock.
The Marydel Fire Company arrived on scene to find with heavy fire coming from the detached garage. Assistance was requested from the Camden-Wyoming, Felton, Hartly, and Goldsboro, Md., fire companies, with the fire being placed under control by 10 p.m
The homeowner was taken by ambulance to Bayhealth-Kent General Hospital for treatment of smoke inhalation, and then released.
The fire was caused when automotive welding equipment ignited nearby combustibles, Bullock said. Damages were estimated at $50,000.

Qaddafi Attacks Opposition Strongholds As Clinton Calls for His Surrender [Updated]
Qaddafi's forces attempt raids on the east, including attacking a radio station.
The U.S. is stepping up its campaign to stop the violence in Libya. In the most blunt statement from the White House during the waves of unrest, Hillary Clinton today called for Muammar Qaddafi to surrender power, saying, "It is time for Qaddafi to go, now, without further violence or delay." Clinton also offered the rebels "any type of assistance." It looks like they might need it. According to witnesses and rebel army commanders, Qaddafi's forces launched fresh attacks on coastal cities, including jet-bombing a military base outside Benghazi, the country's second-largest city and a stronghold of the opposition. The military also tried to attack a radio station in Mistra, another opposition-controlled city. But protesters used gunfire to keep a helicopter with soldiers on board from landing.
Colonel Tareq Saad Hussein, one of the many military leaders who switched sides after Qaddafi ordered his army to fire on civilians, used rebel anti-aircraft weapons to force the plane attacking the base to retreat. Hussein, who is running defense operations in Benghazi, told The Wall Street Journal, "I'm expecting another attack with bigger numbers of aircraft, but don't worry, everything is under control." Rebel commanders were using the radio station in Mistra to coordinate defensive patrols and organize basic services.
At a news conference in Tripoli, a government spokesman denied that Qaddafi loyalists were attacking civilians, comparing it to Saddam Hussein's nonexistent weapons of mass destruction. "The Islamists want chaos; the West also wants chaos," said Musa Ibrahim, adding, "We are not like Egypt or Tunisia. We are a very Bedouin tribal society. People know that and want gradual change." Guess he hasn't been communicating with citizens east of Tripoli in a while.
Press Secretary Jay Carney elaborated on Clinton's statement, saying that "exile is certainly one option" for Qaddafi, and that the U.S. is considering a no-fly zone over Libya.

International Pressure on Qaddafi Intensifies [NYT]
Update: The U.S. Treasury just announced that it will freeze $30 billion in Libyan assets, calling it "the largest blocking under any sanctions program ever." The action was taken under an executive order issued by President Obama on Friday and covers assets belonging to Qaddafi and his family members, as well as "government figures and entities under their control." Clinton said the actions were being calibrated to ensure that ordinary civilians would not be harmed. The U.S. Agency for International Development has set aside $10 million in relief funds and is dispatching teams of experts to determine the refugee crisis and figure out how to deliver the aid.

Remember the exciting misadventures of Captain Jack Sparrow? Well the infamous captain might be returning to the big screen in 2017. The news was announced on Wednesday by Walt Disney Pictures. ComingSoon.net also surfaced the news.
A date has even been set for the film's release. It will be on July 7, 2017. As far as a title, the source says it was previously said to have the subtitle of "Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales."
Filming locations will include New Orleans and Puerto Rico, this according to Hallels. The movie source also spoils that "Dead Men Tell No Tales" will begin with a pirate wedding. Could Jack Sparrow be tying the knot? Highly unlikely.
The series debuted over 10 years ago, back in 2003, with "Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl." We all (well, not so much the youngsters) remember Johnny Depp, and back-then heartthrob, Orlando Bloom, from the series.
While Depp will reprise his role as Captain Jack Sparrow, Keira Knightley and Orlando Bloom will not be making an appearance. Also not returning is Penelope Cruz as Angelica.
Johnny Depp has starred in every film, the most recent one being "Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides" (2011). Depp starred alongside Penelope Cruz, Ian McShane, and Sam Clafilin in that chapter. "On Stranger Tides" collected over $1 billion at the worldwide box office. Together, all "Pirates of the Caribbean" films have accumulated over $3.7 billion at the worldwide box office.
According to the source, the screenplay for the fifth installment has been provided by Jeff Nathanson ("Catch Me If You Can). "Pirates of the Caribbean 5" will be produced by jerry Bruckheimer.

From her waist-long dreadlocks to her carefree style, actress Lisa Bonet is the epitome of bohemian beauty. Best known for her role as Denise Huxtable on The Cosby Show, Lisa, who now goes by Lilakoi Moon, is just as famous for her eclectic taste in fashion and natural beauty as she is for her acting. Though she hasn't appeared on the small or big screen in years, the star still makes red carpet appearances in her signature natural-looking makeup and vintage-inspired layered clothes.
Just like her mother (that's right, Lisa Bonet is her mom and rocker Lenny Kravitz is her dad), Zoe Kravitz pulls off the boho princess look like no one else can. The beautiful, young star expertly mixes different volumes and textures, wearing fitted leather one day and flowy chiffon the next.

Widespread Adoption of Biomarkers Has Been...

As Frequent Travelers Go, Viruses Are...
MannKind purchased an option to license SemBioSys Genetics' plant-produced recombinant human insulin, which ends on March 31, 2009. SemBioSys will receive $2.5 million, which includes the purchase of 2,400,000 SemBioSys units upon closing at $0.83 per unit.
The option agreement states that Mannkind will primarily use this plant-produced insulin for Afresa™, its ultrarapid-acting insulin, which recently completed Phase III studies. The company expects to finalize an NDA for Afresa to submit to the FDA in early 2009.
This pH-sensitive therapy dissolves upon contact with the lung surface, releasing insulin monomers that enter the bloodstream. It achieves peak insulin levels within 12–14 minutes of administration, thus mimicking the release of meal-time insulin observed in healthy individuals, MannKind points out.
SemBioSys' plant-produced insulin is human insulin produced from genetically enhanced safflower. The firm reports that it is physically, structurally, and functionally indistinguishable from pharmaceutical-grade human insulin as demonstrated in its analytical tests and preclinical subchronic toxicology studies in rodents and primates.
SemBioSys is currently conducting a Phase I/II trial of its plant-produced insulin. The three-arm study, of up to 30 healthy volunteers, is designed to demonstrate the bioequivalence of safflower-produced insulin to two commercial insulin standards. Full results are expected to be available during the first half of 2009.
The unit purchase is expected to close on January 5, 2009. Each unit issued by SemBioSys will consist of one common share of SemBioSys and 1/10th of one common share purchase warrant of SemBioSys. Each whole warrant will entitle MannKind to purchase one additional common share of SemBioSys at an exercise price of C$6.00, or almost $5, for a period of 36 months from the effective date of the option.

NEW YORK -- Chinese-born
(and trained) and New York-based choreographer Shen Wei has enjoyed
a fairly rapid rise to prominence in the modern dance world. His
five-year old Shen Wei Dance Arts company has maintained a very
active international touring schedule of some considerable venues.
His large company is full of beautiful dancers and his background
as an accomplished visual artist makes for an array of dazzling
images. But he recently concluded his third consecutive appearance
at the Lincoln Center Festival with the kind of unfettered indulgence
a cynical dance insider might expect from a too-much-too-soon-kid.
"Near the Terrace, Part
I," commissioned by the American Dance Festival in 2000, opened
the program at the New York State Theater this past Sunday with
haunting majesty. Shen takes inspiration from the paintings of Belgian
surrealist Paul Delvaux and orchestrates
a stark and seductive moving tableaux full of white painted, half-naked
women and men. The scale of the work is truly operatic, with a large,
steep staircase set at the back of the stage for dancers to slowly
ascend and cross. Tiny white painted palm trees pepper the landscape,
among which the dancers slowly drop to the floor, creating the illusion
of gods in repose.
A woman enters at one
point gliding through the statuesque dancers with a long papery
white skirt flowing behind her. An unpainted naked woman walks across
the steps with her back arched and a long scarlet red cloth dragging
behind her. One unpainted black woman slowly turns among them, creating
a striking contrast. A few women crouch and quickly spring straight
into the arms of the men, holding themselves stiff and parallel
to the floor. The quick bursts work like a chime at the conclusion
of meditation, providing a momentary zing to the slow daze seeping
into my head. This is a publicity photographer's dream, a continuing
series of striking images deepened by David Ferri's ethereal lighting.
I can't help pondering the budget, which perhaps with Shen's triple
duties as choreographer, set designer and costume designer isn't
as outrageous as the lavish work implies.
"Map," a premiere commissioned
by the festival, followed intermission and apparently required epic
program notes. Several pages specify the particular aspects of the
movement vocabulary for each section. The dancing is phenomenal
and the dancers exceedingly well rehearsed but the notes, read afterwards,
are entirely redundant. The dance never develops beyond the obvious
involved explorations of impulse and response despite running on
(and on) for close to an hour.
The dancers explore
rotation, bouncing, isolations and internal circles with awesome
mastery and some seriously righteous performances. Juicy, powerful,
fluid movement phrases abound. Arms reach out, shift, drop; bodies
twist, spring and recoil and I'm practically biting myself to keep
from twitching in my seat in visceral empathy but the cumulative
effect of the work is one of tedium. It is, in the end, interminable.
And predictable. The dance is so heavily reliant on its relationship
to Steve Reich's "The Desert Music" that the dancers end up reminding
me of equalizer bars so exactly do they match the score. It's as
if your really clever, really driven and overly confident Comp.
classmate didn't know when to call his movement study done.
Except it's at Lincoln
Center for a hearty chunk o' change.

|Adapt or Die: Lessons Learned From Wall Street
Let experience, not emotions, guide your trading.
George Soros has the least regret of anyone I have ever met. Even though he will sometimes play up to his public image as a guru who knows what is going on, it is in no sense what he does as a money manager. He has no emotional attachment to an idea. When a trade is wrong, he will just cut it, move on, and do something else. I remember one time he had this huge FX position. He made something like $250 million on it one day. He was quoted in the financial press talking about the position. It sounded like a major strategic view he had. Then the market went the other way, and the position just disappeared. It was gone. He didn't like the price action, so he got out. He doesn't let his structural views on how he believes the market will play out get in the way of his trading. That is what strikes me about really good money managers – they don't get attached to their ideas.Amen. I do think I'm getting better at this, but there's still plenty of room to improve. The way Colm describes it sums up why Soros is one of the best ever. We've all seen traders or friends who get way too emotional on trades, with the majority of the time those being a losing trade. We say to ourselves, "The market has to be wrong — there's no way it is going lower." Well, the market doesn't care what you think and price action is all that matters. Accepting this and quickly moving on to the next opportunity is something that is necessary to be successful. That's easier said than done, but it's something to be aware of if you want to make the next step at successfully trading.
Traders who are successful over the long run adapt. If they do use rules, and you meet them 10 years later, they will have broken those rules. Why? Because the world changed. Rules are only applicable to a market at a specific time. Traders who fail may have great rules that work, but then stop working.I love that word -- adapt. I've been trading for over a decade and things have changed so much. If you had an "edge" a few years ago, there's an above-average chance it doesn't work anymore. As traders, we always need to be on the lookout for ways to improve. And the number one way to do this is to be aware of things that used to work that aren't working anymore. Don't keep trying to make them work. I did that as the market crashed in 2008. I got my butt kicked, but I learned some valuable lessons. Mainly that the market is very cruel and will take your money if you don't adapt, move on, and find another way to make money. As I've said in numerous presentations over the years, "There's no wrong way to make money." Find what works for you, exploit it. Then, once it stops working, find something else that does. To sum this all up very bluntly: Adapt or die.
