Halloween 4: The Return of Michael Myers is a 1988 American slasher film and the fourth installment in the Halloween film series. Directed by Dwight H. Little and written by Alan B. McElroy, it focuses on Michael Myers returning home to kill his niece Jamie Lloyd (Danielle Harris), the daughter of Laurie Strode, with Dr. Sam Loomis (Donald Pleasence) once more pursuing him.
As the title suggests, this film marks the return of Michael Myers after being absent in the previous installment, Halloween III: Season of the Witch. Initially, John Carpenter and co-producer Debra Hill retired the Michael Myers storyline after the second installment of the series, intending to feature a new Halloween-season-related plot every sequel, of which Halloween III would be the first. Halloween 4 was originally intended to be a ghost story;[citation needed] however, due to the disappointing financial performance of the third film, Halloween 4 reintroduced Michael Myers.
Michael Myers survived the explosion at Haddonfield Memorial Hospital but has been in a coma for ten years and is being transferred to Smith's Grove Sanitarium by ambulance. Upon hearing that he has a niece, Michael awakens, kills the paramedics, and makes his way to Haddonfield to look for her. Dr. Sam Loomis (Donald Pleasence), Michael's former psychiatrist, who also survived the explosion, learns of Michael's escape and gives chase. He follows Michael to a small gas station, where Loomis finds Michael has killed a mechanic for his clothes, along with a clerk. Michael then escapes in a tow truck and causes an explosion, destroying Loomis's car in the process. Loomis is forced to catch a ride to Haddonfield to renew his search for Michael.
Meanwhile, Jamie Lloyd (Danielle Harris), the daughter of Laurie Strode and Michael's niece, is living in Haddonfield with her foster family, Richard and Darlene Carruthers, and their teenage daughter, Rachel. It is Halloween and Jamie's foster parents are heading out for the night and Rachel (Ellie Cornell) is left to babysit her, causing her to miss her date with her boyfriend Brady (Sasha Jenson). Jamie knows about her uncle Michael, but she is unaware he is the strange man she has been having nightmares about, and is teased by her classmates because of it. After school, Rachel takes Jamie to buy ice cream and a Halloween costume. Michael has already arrived in Haddonfield, and nearly attacks Jamie in the store.
That night, Rachel takes Jamie trick-or-treating, and Michael goes to the electrical substation and murders a worker by throwing him into live high voltage, plunging the town into darkness. Dr. Loomis arrives in Haddonfield and warns Sheriff Ben Meeker (Beau Starr) that Michael has escaped from custody and returned to Haddonfield. Michael singlehandedly takes down a police station and slaughters the police force. A lynch mob is formed by the town's men with the agenda to take down Michael. Rachel discovers Brady cheating on her with Sheriff Meeker's daughter Kelly (Kathleen Kinmont), and loses Jamie. After being chased by Myers, Rachel reunites with Jamie.
Sheriff Meeker and Dr. Loomis arrive and take the girls to the sheriff's house with Kelly and Brady, and a deputy. They lock and board up the house, and Loomis departs to look for Michael. With Sheriff Meeker in the basement awaiting the arrival of the state police, Michael enters the house quietly and undetected. He kills the deputy off-screen, and then murders Kelly by impaling her with a shotgun. Rachel discovers the bodies and races upstairs to get Jamie, but she is gone. Brady and Rachel realize they are trapped in the house, and Rachel finds Jamie. Michael appears and struggles with Brady before crushing his skull, killing him. Michael then chases Rachel and Jamie up to the attic. They climb through a window onto the roof and Jamie is lowered down safely, but Michael attacks Rachel and knocks her off the roof.
Being pursued by Michael, Jamie runs down the street, screaming for help and runs into Dr. Loomis. They take shelter in the school, but Michael appears and throws Loomis through a glass door before chasing Jamie through the school. Jamie trips and falls down a flight of stairs. Before Michael can kill his niece, Rachel appears, alive, and sprays him in the face with a fire extinguisher. The lynch mob and the state police arrive at the school after hearing the alarm. Four men from the mob agree to take Jamie and Rachel over to the next town in a pick-up truck. Michael has hidden on the underside of the truck; he climbs into the bed of the truck and kills the men, including the driver. Rachel is forced to drive, continuously attempting to throw Michael off. She succeeds in doing so and rams him with the truck, sending him flying into a ditch near an abandoned mine. The police, along with Loomis arrive and as Jamie approaches Michael and touches his hand, he rises. The police shoot Michael until he falls down the abandoned mine and is presumed dead.
Jamie and Rachel have been taken home, and Darlene and Richard - who have arrived home - console the girls. Darlene goes upstairs to run Jamie a bath. Overwhelmed by Michael's essence, Jamie dons a clown mask and stabs her foster mother with a pair of scissors. The film ends with Jamie standing at the top of the stairs, emotionless with the scissors in her hand and stained with blood, with Dr. Loomis screaming as Richard, Rachel and Sheriff Meeker stare in horror.

Movie production[edit]
After Halloween III: Season of the Witch, Moustapha Akkad wanted to move further with the series, and bring back Michael Myers. According to producer Paul Freeman, a friend of Akkad with a long list of credits to his name, explained to Fangoria magazine in 1988, everybody came out of Halloween III saying, "Where's Michael?"[2] John Carpenter was approached by Cannon Films, who had just finished 1986's release of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2, to write and direct Halloween 4. Debra Hill planned to produce the film, while Carpenter teamed up with Dennis Etchison who, under the pseudonym Jack Martin, had written novelizations of both Halloween II (1981) and Halloween III: Season of the Witch (1982) to write a script to Halloween 4.
|"Halloween was banned in Haddonfield and I think that the basic idea was that if you tried to suppress something, it would only rear its head more strongly. By the very [attempt] of trying to erase the memory of Michael Myers, [the teenagers] were going to ironically bring him back into existence."
|— Dennis Etchison on his idea for Halloween 4.[3]
However, Akkad rejected the Etchison script, calling it "too cerebral" and insisting that any new Halloween sequel must feature Myers as a flesh and blood killer.[4] In an interview, Etchison explained how he received the phone call informing him of the rejection of his script. Etchison said, "I received a call from Debra Hill and she said, 'Dennis, I just wanted you to know that John and I have sold our interest in the title 'Halloween' and unfortunately, your script was not part of the deal."[3]
Carpenter and Hill had signed all of their rights away to Akkad, who gained ownership. Akkad says, "I just went back to the basics of Halloween on Halloween 4 and it was the most successful."[5] As Carpenter refused to continue his involvement with the series, a new director was sought out. Dwight H. Little, a native of Ohio, replaced Carpenter. Little had previously directed episodes for Freddy's Nightmares and the film Bloodstone.
On February 25, 1988, writer Alan B. McElroy, a Cleveland, Ohio native, was brought in to the write the script for Halloween 4.[6] The writer's strike was to begin on March 7, 1988. This forced McElroy to develop a concept, pitch the story, and send in the final draft in under eleven days. McElroy came up with the idea of Brittany "Britti" Lloyd, Laurie Strode's daughter, to be chased by her uncle, who has escaped from Ridgemont after being in a coma for ten years. Dr. Samuel Loomis, who has also survived the fiery explosion at the end of Halloween II, goes looking for Michael with Sheriff Meeker. The setting of the place was once again Haddonfield, Illinois. The character of Laurie Strode was revealed to have died in a car accident, leaving Britti with the Carruthers family, which included Rachel, the family's seventeen-year-old daughter. Britti's name was later changed to Jamie, a homage to Laurie Strode actress Jamie Lee Curtis.
McElroy told Fangoria:
When I first saw the original, I was dating a girl and took her to a theater in Boston to see it. We were the only ones in the place, but she was climbing all over me. When Halloween II came out, I got completely blitzed and saw it, and I had the best time. So when the director, Dwight Little, asked me to write the script, I jumped at the chance. Here I was going to bring the Shape — Michael Myers — back to life. It's a piece of film history. He's truly an icon.[6]
In the original draft, Sheriff Ben Meeker was to be killed during the Shape's attack on the Meeker house. A fire would have started in the basement and burnt down the entire house. The scene on top of the roof with the Shape, Rachel, and Jamie was supposed to be engulfed in flames. This was cut due to budget issues.[7] A more "soap opera" feel was added to the film, which included the triangle of the teenagers and their relationship situations. Rachel is dating Brady, who is also having sex with Kelly Meeker. In addition, in the finale, Jamie was originally intended to have murdered her foster mother, Darlene Carruthers, while drawing the bath, and become evil. This idea was rejected for Halloween 5: The Revenge of Michael Myers (1989).
The cast of Halloween 4 included only one actor from the first two films, Donald Pleasence, who reprised his role as Samuel Loomis, Michael Myers' psychiatrist. Before McElroy's script was chosen, the producers asked Jamie Lee Curtis to reprise her role as Laurie Strode, the original's heroine. Curtis had become a success in the film industry and had established a career with her roles in films like Trading Places (1983) and A Fish Called Wanda (1988). Curtis declined and did not want to continue her participation in the film, although she did return for Halloween H20 (1998). As a result, her character was written out and supposedly died in a car accident, which is briefly explained in the film.
The script introduced Laurie Strode's seven-year-old daughter, Jamie Lloyd. Melissa Joan Hart had auditioned for the role, among various other girls.[citation needed] Up against her was Danielle Harris, who had previously starred in One Life to Live as Samantha Garretson. Rebecca Schaeffer had auditioned for the role of Rachel Carruthers, but had to drop out due to scheduling conflicts.[citation needed] Twenty-three-year-old Ellie Cornell had also auditioned. Cornell had chosen to audition for Halloween 4 and A Nightmare on Elm Street 4: The Dream Master (1988) as the role of Kristen Parker, after Patricia Arquette had declined to return as Kristen. Cornell chose Halloween 4 and successfully landed the role of Rachel. Beau Starr was cast as the new Sheriff, Ben Meeker, replacing Sheriff Lee Brackett (Charles Cyphers), and Kathleen Kinmont was cast as the Sheriff's daughter, Kelly. George P. Wilbur was cast to play Michael Myers.
Principal photography began on April 11, 1988. Instead of filming in Pasadena, California (the original filming location and stand in for Haddonfield) due to high-rising costs, filming took place in Salt Lake City, Utah.[6] As filming was taking place in March,[6] during springtime, the producers were forced to import leaves and big squash, which they would use to create pumpkins by painting them orange, which was also done during the filming of the original Halloween. "One of the obvious challenges in making a part four of anything is to interest a contemporary audience in old characters and themes," said director Dwight H. Little. "What I'm trying to do is capture the mood of the original Halloween and yet take a lot of new chances. What we're attempting to do is walk a fine line between horror and mystery. Halloween 4 will not be an ax-in-the-forehead kind of movie." Paul Freeman agreed. "This film does contain some humorous moments, but it's not of the spoof or send-up variety. It's humor that rises out of the film's situations and quickly turns back into terror."[2]
George P. Wilbur, who was cast as Michael Myers for this film, wore hockey pads under the costume to make himself look more physically imposing. During filming, the cast and crew made it a point to take it easy on Danielle Harris, as she was only a young child at the time, and made sure that she was not scared too badly and knew that none of it was real; to this end, Wilbur regularly removed the mask in front of her in order to remind her that it was just a movie and he was not going to hurt her.[8]
The late night scenes caused issues with the cast. Garlan Wilde, a gaffer for the film, was injured during the scene between Brady and the Shape when he dropped a light and accidentally slit his wrists. He was rushed to the hospital. In addition, while filming the rooftop scene, Ellie Cornell cut her stomach open on a large nail while sliding down the roof, though she continued filming the scene despite losing a sizable amount of blood. During most of the night scenes, Donald Pleasence became so cold that he wore a hat for most of the scenes, unbeknownst to the crew. This caused over six hours of footage to be re-shot. The shoot lasted about 41 days and Ellie Cornell and Danielle Harris were required to be on set for 36 of those days.[citation needed]
During filming, it was considered that the customized 1975 Captain Kirk mask be reused for this film. However, the mask was long gone and a new one was purchased from a local costume shop. The producers wanted to test and see what it would look like without the edits. The school scene was filmed and when reviewing the producers did not like how the mask turned out. It was allegedly customized again but did not live up to the original, and the producers felt it was too old and went for a new mask. Some scenes had to be re-shot with the new mask. The only scene left in is when Loomis is thrown through a glass door; as Michael comes up behind him, the unaltered face and blonde hair is visible.[9]
After viewing the film's rough cut, director Dwight H. Little and producer Moustapha Akkad decided that the film's violence was too soft, and so an extra day of "blood filming" commenced. Special effects make-up artist John Carl Buechler (director of Friday the 13th Part VII: The New Blood) was brought in to create the thumb in the forehead kill and neck-twisting of the redneck seen in the film's final cut.
The score was performed by Alan Howarth, who had assisted John Carpenter on Halloween II and Halloween III. Howarth gained approval from Dwight H. Little before he could accept the offer, creating a new score that referenced the original's but with a synthesizer twist. Howarth also included new tracks such as "Jamie's Nightmare", "Return of the Shape", and "Police Station". The soundtrack was released to Compact Disc on September 28, 1988.
Halloween 4 opened in 1,679 theaters on October 21, 1988 and grossed $6,831,250 in its opening weekend, achieving a total domestic gross of $17,768,757 in the United States, becoming the fifth best performing film in the Halloween series.[10] The film received negative critical reception. It currently has a score of 43 on Metacritic, which indicates mixed or average reviews; on Rotten Tomatoes, the film has a "rotten" score of 29% based on 24 reviews. Despite a negative reaction, then newcomer Danielle Harris received much praise from fans and critics. Donald Pleasence was also praised.
Halloween 4 was nominated for two Saturn Awards by the Academy of Science Fiction, Fantasy & Horror Films for Best Horror Film and Best Writing in 1990.[citation needed]

The film was first released on VHS in May 1989 as a rental title by CBS/FOX home entertainment. It was made available for sell-through in October 1989 to coincide with the theatrical release of Halloween 5: The Revenge of Michael Myers.

The Doorway Lyrics
Artist: Neurosis
Album: Times Of Grace
to burrow my way through death and flesh
all beasts i let out ú ill buried untold
to lock my cage ú unleash the fallen
fear eyes contain light in my soul
feral snakes collide burn in my skull
freeing the circles ú that night i saw a burial train
all thieves i bludgeon
from ice i burn breathe astral plane
greyed eye enclosed ú seer east is gone
from now on, farther on
i'm nailed to the crossroads searching for the piece of me
that wasn't mine, blood dripping from my hands
my end has seen the figure of my lightkeeper
standing in the doorway

Topic: Part D
Meeting CMS Halfway: The 2016 Audit and Enforcement Conference
On June 16, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) held their third annual Medicare Advantage & Prescription Drug Audit and Enforcement Conference and Webcast. At the heart of this conference is the CMS Program Audit. Agency experts as well as Sponsor participants presented to an in-person and webcast audience on expectations, process enhancements, upcoming developments, and more.
Health Plans Need to Start Talking About Disparities in Care
On the heels of a recent groundbreaking RAND report on racial disparities in Medicare Advantage (MA), the US Department of Health & Human Services' Office of Civil Rights (OCR) issued a regulation that requires serious attention in health plans participating in MA, Part D, Medicaid, and ObamaCare. It's a game-changer in advancing health equity and reducing disparities.
Medicare Marketing Guidelines Summary of Changes – Have They Left You Scratching Your Head?
The Formulary Season
It's the formulary season, and you should be in the home stretch for your Health Plan Management System (HPMS) submission. What's on the formulary and what changes were made to the formulary are among the top reasons why members either enroll in or disenroll from a health plan. Manufacturer price increases over the past two years and the number of high-cost specialty drugs released to market make formulary decisions and utilization increasingly difficult and significant to the health plan's bottom line. With an average generic medication utilization rate of 80-85%, there is limited movement to improve. Some thoughts to consider:
Why are the Dual Eligible Demos Such a Hot Mess?
There's no avoiding the steady stream of bad news facing the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) financial alignment demonstrations for dually eligible beneficiaries. Enrollment is declining, beneficiaries are opting out at epic rates, and leading states like California are slowing their efforts despite crushing budget realities. Dozens of health plans have invested millions to participate in what's become a hot mess. Where do we go from here?
The Effect of the New Part B Drug Payment Proposal on Medicare Advantage and Part D
It's no secret drug costs have skyrocketed in the past decade, and drug payment policymakers face an uphill battle in figuring out how to curb this exponential growth. The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) has already taken a beating on its proposal to test a new alternative payment design to pay for drugs covered under Medicare Part B, calling into question whether this new methodology will go through looking anything like originally proposed. Part B spending is just a fraction of drug spending in Medicare, covering the drugs administered by a physician or hospital outpatient department. A major question for our industry is what effect this new proposal will have on Medicare Advantage (MA) and Part D plans if implemented.

Today's enterprises have higher than ever demands for data and application availability. The rapid digitisation of business processes and increasing expectations from customers and partners for constant uptime is ushering in a new era for IT which is less restricted by manual data protection practices. Telsyte research shows 75 per cent of IT budgets are spent on operations and transformation programs with only 25 per cent left for innovation. To drive more innovation, CIOs must address their number one business priority — reducing operating expenses — and free their organisations from a complex collection of backup, storage and virtualisation systems to ensure applications are online and protected from failures and cyber attacks. Download whitepaper »
Application availability is the name of the game for IT organisations. IDC research has determined that application downtime costs exceeding $100,000 per hour is the median, although that cost can run substantially higher for some organisations. Consequently, organisations are willing to invest considerable sums in availability solutions that avoid downtime and ensure smooth business operations. Download whitepaper »
The consequences of a cyber-attack can be devastating, such as loss of customer confidence, ruined reputation and costly legal ramifications. Not to mention the potential destruction of your entire business. To be fully effective, cyber security must be proactively managed and owned at board level. Not not just by the IT department. It needs to be broad in scope, and senior management needs to recognise that it's a whole of business challenge. Download whitepaper »

What is 'Present Value - PV'
Present value (PV) is the current worth of a future sum of money or stream of cash flows given a specified rate of return. Future cash flows are discounted at the discount rate, and the higher the discount rate, the lower the present value of the future cash flows. Determining the appropriate discount rate is the key to properly valuing future cash flows, whether they be earnings or obligations.
Also referred to as "discounted value".
BREAKING DOWN 'Present Value - PV'
This sounds a bit confusing, but it really isn't. The basis is that receiving $1,000 now is worth more than $1,000 five years from now, because if you got the money now, you could invest it and receive an additional return over the five years.
The calculation of discounted or present value is extremely important in many financial calculations. For example, net present value, bond yields, spot rates, and pension obligations all rely on the principle of discounted or present value. Learning how to use a financial calculator to make present value calculations can help you decide whether you should accept a cash rebate, 0% financing on the purchase of a car or to pay points on a mortgage.

Let's see how the Beverly Hills real estate market did for the first half of 2012 and compare it to the First Quarter.
The numbers are taken from the MLS/CLAW and are deemed reliable but not guaranteed. Also, they reflect single family home sales only.
Number sold: 68 – 40 in the 2nd Qtr which is a 42.86 increase over the 1st Qtr.
Median price: $4,387,500 – 2nd Qtr $4,787,500 which is a 17.48% increase over the 1st Qtr.
27 homes are under contract.
There are 101 active listings. With an average sale of 11.33 homes per month there is an absorption rate of 8.91 months. This means that it will take 8.91months to sell the existing inventory. A balanced market is 6 months of inventory. Anything above that does not favor sellers.
Beverly Hills real estate inventory is down over the 1st Quarter of 2012, with homes under $4 Million favoring sellers.
As with many areas of Los Angeles, if you are thinking of selling your Beverly Hills home, now is a good time. Buyers are out there, mortgages are low, and if you price your home correctly you may see multiple offers coming in.

Green Buildings Drive BIM Adoption
The green building sector will drive the adoption of building information modeling (BIM) software, according to a new SmartMarket Report from McGraw-Hill Construction.
The report, "Green BIM: How Building Information Modeling is Contributing to Green Design and Construction", produced in collaboration with the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC), the Mechanical Contractors Association of America (MCAA), Autodesk, and 13 other industry organizations, finds that the industry is only now tapping into the potential of BIM to meet their 'green' goals.
Case-in-point: The report finds that only 17 percent of Green BIM practitioners are currently realizing more than 50 percent of BIM's potential for their green goals, but 78 percent of survey respondents who aren't currently using BIM for their green building projects expect to within the next three years.
BIM has the potential to increase innovation, design and construction efficiency, just as green building has transformed design and construction in the U.S., says Harvey Bernstein, McGraw-Hill's vice president, global thought leadership and business development.
According to the report, as green building become a larger share of construction, the benefits provided by BIM will also be more widely recognized. As a result, the use of BIM will increase as it delivers a more efficient way to leverage digital models for design, construction and operation of projects, according to the report.
Another finding shows that nearly half (49 percent) of Green BIM practitioners use BIM for more than 50 percent of their projects, compared to 28 percent of non-Green BIM companies. Green BIM practitioners are also more intensive users of the software since they both create and analyze models more frequently than non-Green BIM companies, according to the report.
McGraw-Hill Construction studies have found that energy efficiency is the most often cited green building benefit, yielding significant cost savings over a building's full lifecycle.
Similarly, the Green BIM study expects strong growth for energy performance simulation tools. For example, 95 percent of firms practicing BIM for green projects will do energy performance simulations within two years, compared with 73 percent now, and 79 percent of firms using BIM, but not focused on green projects, will conduct the simulations, compared to 21 percent currently.
The two key areas that non-Green BIM companies would like to simulate over the next two years include whole building use (80 percent), lighting and daylighting (69 percent) and energy code compliance (65 percent).
Green BIM users also find the technology to be useful for green retrofit projects. Twenty-seven percent see BIM as highly applicable for use in green retrofits and 49 percent believe it has "medium applicability."
Based on a previous McGraw-Hill report that forecasts that green retrofit projects will increase from five to nine percent in 2009 to 20 to 30 percent in 2014, the market is likely to be a strong growth area for Green BIM, according to the report.

While there were many issues with exubera it biggest failure was it was not covered by insurance. Additionally, during 171 significantly less total hypoglycemia was observed in the AFREZZA-Gen2, about 50% and fasting blood glucose was significantly lower. If you want about a 50% less risk of hypoglycemia versus insulin aspart and insurance is paying for it, its really a no brainier. Once Rapp replaces his Lantus with degludec I think most of his issues will be solved especially if its delivered with Technospshere.
Sentiment: Strong Buy
171 proved you can't get the same results or better. You get worse results. You also suffer slight decrease in lung function until you discontinue use. You also have a cough. You still experience hypos, both mild and severe. If approval, there will be no completed long term lung studies done for at least 5 years. So for 5 years, you don't know what type of lung damage you could possibly be doing.
Exubera is the only inhalable insulin with long term studies and the company put a lung cancer on its label afterward. Only happened in 6 past smokers vs. 1 in the group that did not use the drug. But it was significant that Pfizer had to issue a press release on April 9, 2008 that it was changing the label.
Injectable insulin has zero lung cancer concerns. Zero cough concerns. Zero decreased lung function concerns, and offers better results.
Inhaling the insulin is also less discreet as you have to bring it up to your mouth for all to see when an insulin needle or pen can be discreetly injected into a leg under a table. Even if donein a bathroom stall, I can inject insulin with zero noise, whereas an inhalable insulin would make a noise.
Injectable insulin is much more convenient. An insulin pen is very simple to use and will last for weeks with no work, filling or replacing. The Dreamboat inhaler must be filled with the Afrezza cartridges each time it it used, discarded then filled again. Then the inhaler itself must be thrown out and replaced after a week or two.
Injectable insulin also allows for much smaller doses to be used. It offers more margin for error and tighter control. For example, if a T1 has a bg level at 130 and wants to bring it down just a bit to 85, he/she can take 1 unit of RAA and be done. The smallest cartridge of Afrezza (10 U cartridge) cannot do that and would bring down the bg level too low and cause a hypo (T1's will understand this much better than non-diabetics).
(to be continued).
Have you not been reading my posts, Kevin?
1. If you start on insulin, your life insurance rates go up. A lot. Or you might get dropped. There is a stigma against insulin use. Injected or not, Regular, slow, rapid doesn't matter. That stopped me for many years. Afrezza will face that same barrier that current insulin faces.
2. Afrezza is very mild. Almost every insulin can claim a (-1.6%) - (- 1.9%) effect on HbA1c when added to metformin or other oral agent in Type 2's. Afrezza will be able to claim either 0.4% against comparator or 0.82% single arm. These claims are regulated by the FDA, are part of the label / insert. Doctors & patients use them when choosing among options.
So - you asked the question - there's your answer. MANY people avoid a diagnosis of diabetes and live with uncontrolled diabetes for fear of economic consequences. Many Type 2's avoid being prescribed insulin therapy for the same reason.
I believe that Afrezza will be approved and come to market. I believe it will become a success, but that will be measured in a 2% - 3% market share. That's still really good - there are like 30 choices out there for treatment, and 2% - 3% represents $600M - 1 $B in sales. Phase 3 put an end to the possibility of Afrezza being the biggest drug ever, because although Affinity 2 shows Afrezza to have statistical clinical effect, it is not head-to-head competitive with injected.
Some people won't need a robust clinical effect, and in fact the milder effect if Afrezza might be right up their alley. For some like Afrezzauser it may be just the cat's pyjamas.
You refuse to see this evidence because it is not in your monetary interest to do so. I see it from the standpoint of a potential customer who will have to choose, and an investor who really wants the unrealistic expectation setting and attendant disappointment to just stop. Be realistic, be patient, and you will hopefully be rewarded.
rapp states: injectible insulin has......"Zero decreased lung function concerns, and offers better results."
who is this bozo? one day he's claiming to know everything. the next day he's flaunting it and then the dipstick comes to the same group to ask them questions for further clarity. i thought you were superior to all of us in your prognostications.
if you were that good, you wouldn't be asking questions here. such a fool.
i suggest you go back and review the data. there is no noticable effect on lung function. the company must disclose 'impact' but that doesn't mean it's noticable or a 'concern.' FDA has issues w/ lung impact greater than or equal to 1.30. afrezza vs control was 1.03.
you call that "concern?" if it were a concern why didn't go before an FDA advisory panel?
you must be dyslexic lol ok fella.
(cont. from prior post). In other words, glucose levels have to reach a certain level of hyperglycemia just to use it at all. If the bg level is too high (over 100, but under 135, for example) the patient would just have to live with it until their bg level increased to a high enough level to use the lowest possible dose of Afrezza. For many T1's who tightly control their diabetes and have A1c's less than 6%, this is a BIG disadvantage of Afrezza and will be a deal breaker for them.
Afrezza also requires complex titration (even though MNKD tried to sell it as a simple product that did not require complex titration, this is not true). 171 had very detailed and complex basal and bolus algorithms, yet still did worse in A1c's and still had many hypos. The 175 trial involved detailed training videos and coaching. Each trial required a 4 week run in period where the patients worked out the kinks and experimented with trial and error. Several patients dropped out of each trial for various reasons.
Anything new that is so complex will cause fear, concern and hesitation. Insulin therapy has a small window for error and is extremely difficult to manage regardless of delivery device. It is one of the reasons why Nova and Lilly (and Pfizer) abandoned all of their projects.
But the MOST important reason why Afrezza will not be used is simply because one must pay a 5-10% premium to use it. It has worse results, known and unknown side effects, less convenient, but costs much more. Injectable insulin has been around for 100 years. You know what you're getting. And it is cheap, cheap, cheap.

The Garden Grocer was the perfect option for us getting groceries to our Disney resort! We were able to order breakfast and snack items to have in our room to save us both time and money on our trip. We ordered some healthy options like fruit and yogurt, since in the parks we tended to splurge. Thank you so much for such a great service!
Fast and easy. Definitely will use again for my next trip.
This was our second time to use Garden Grocer and this experience was even better than the first. We received emails confirming the order and another while on our way to the hotel confirming our order was waiting for us. The money we saved on water alone paid for the delivery fee. Highly reccomend Garden Grocer when visiting Walt Disney World

Why Is UVa Under Title IX Investigation Again?
[Updated (7/28/2016, 4:30 p.m.) with a statement from the university.]
The U.S. Education Department's Office for Civil Rights said on Wednesday that the University of Virginia was under investigation for its handling of sexual violence under the federal gender-equity law known as Title IX.
The announcement triggered a sense of déjà vu among close watchers of the office's weekly list of institutions under investigation because the university is no stranger to federal scrutiny on Title IX. In fac…

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

Reload the page and try again.
Health & Safety:
There are numerous towers that include a panic button around campus for emergency's, and shuttle services that will drive you across campus if you feel unsafe. The centers for help are widely advertised and easy to find.
Overall Experience:
I've enjoyed the courses I've taken so far. They have been easy to manage together and featured interesting and knowledgeable professors. The class size of some of the intro classes is pretty ridiculous, UCF really needs to learn to say no to applicants. There is a good variety of classes at least, so as long as you aren't a business major you should have no problem getting into a class.
Overall Experience:
I feel like southern schools in general don't offer as valuable degrees, but UCF seems respectable enough. My issue is that I have no been able to connect to any people in my field of interests, no internships, no alumni network, and unimpressive career center.
Greek Life:
There's a large number of Greek organizations and from what I hear they're a lot of fun and they do good work around the community.
There's a lot of school involvement when it comes to varsity sports, but it's more of a pain than anything. The football games just make the parking situation more complicated, and we didn't even win a game this year!
Overall Experience:
I feel like I've made a good choice in UCF. They try very hard to ensure that anyone can afford to come to UCF, and make classes very accessible for every type of student. The atmosphere of the campus is also very nice, it's beautiful to walk through and feels like a tiny town in the middle of Orlando. I also have enjoyed all of my classes and instructors and appreciate the wide variety of classes available to me, and the large number of major and minor programs. However, I was disappointed with the career services center and my academic adviser. While she was a pleasure to talk to, my career counselor offered no concrete help in connecting me with people in my field of interests. My academic adviser is so eager to kick me out of her office for her next appointment that I feel like she doesn't help with anything.
In general, most students on campus are very accepting of other students and their culture/views.
You can always find study groups and study with students from classes at UCF. With UCF being such a large campus, you can virtually study anywhere, with the library being a popular spot.
Overall Experience:
There are a wide variety of courses and class sizes that range from small, intimate classrooms to large lecture halls.
Overall Experience:
Career Services on campus does a great job of reviewing resumes, holding mock interviews, and helping students look for potential part-time opportunities and/or internship opportunities. Many employers hold information sessions on campus as well and career fairs are plenty.
Health & Safety:
Events will always occur on campus, but the PD does a good job of responding to crime and setting up emergency call centers all around campus.
Campus Housing:
Living on campus is pretty over-priced compared to off-campus housing. Some buildings and infrastructure are older than others and can be a bit run down and less modern than some off-campus options. Most buildings are very close to classroom buildings however and close to the Student Union too. Social atmosphere is good, as I made many current friends my first year of living on campus.
Overall Experience:
UCF is a great campus with a large and diversified group of school and staff. The academic atmosphere is great and there are various resources on campus to help out students in their studies. Varsity sports are fun to attend and Orlando is a city with growing promise and great job opportunities for graduates.
Almost everyone attends the varsity sports games (whether it be football, basketball, soccer, etc.) and aside from students, even the outside community is engaged in the sports life of UCF. Sports are a huge part of student life.
Health & Safety:
Any security service you would want to have in place, they have. The problem is usually out of UCF's control, so the best thing to do is to stay safe and make sure you and your friends/peers know what to do in dangerous situations and use the services UCF offers if anything happens.
Overall Experience:
This is a case by case basis and by no means represents the school as a whole. In my experience, I've had some of the most driven and challenging instructors in the country, most notably for our Computer Science curriculum, but also for Digital Media: Game Design. With industry experience in recent events, I feel like my professors and their courses have been great.
Overall Experience:
Career services and the Office of Experiential Learning offer a variety of ways to prepare you for the frequent job fairs and opportunities available at UCF. The only catch is that you need to actually have some experience in your field or some kind of portfolio to show employers, or else you probably won't get anything. I'm sure this is the case everywhere, but don't assume things will move forward without putting in a serious effort.
Campus Housing:
As a cost-benefit analysis, you could do better off campus, with the best option being a house rented between 4 or 5 people and having a car. If you don't have a car or want to be on campus for convenience purposes, then you can't go wrong with on campus housing. I stayed in Neptune, Nike apartments, and Lake Claire. They are, in order, new, older but best value in my opinion, and oldest but still nice. Have fun long-boarding to class!
Health & Safety:
There are emergency towers at every corner around UCF, one click and emergency personal will be on the way. Cops and ambulances have certain entrances to campus so I feel safe there. The only problem is with street lighting around sidewalks etc.
Overall Experience:
Overall professors at ucf are knowledgable and understanding. Housing is easy to apply for and get to the status of your application. Student life is diverse as well as easy to get involved in.
Overall Experience:
With your chosen major you get many emails about job opportunities and internships. Also the Orlando area has all type of job types and connections to UCF. Job fairs are always on campus inviting anyone can visit them. Many major offices have career planners and it's simple to get in touch with career services.
Greek Life:
I have no idea about greek life at UCF. All I know is that if you have a good GPA, then its a good option to join a professional greek house strictly for connections. For a lot of majors, it comes down to who you know, with a little bit of what you know, whereas some majors, like most STEM majors are more about what you know as opposed to who you know. Do both!
Campus Housing:
I live on campus in the newest dorms and they are extremely nice and spacious. Getting into on campus housing is very easy if you just follow the deadlines and turn everything on time it is simple. There are plenty of options and I would recommend living on campus.
I don't believe that athletics should play a part in the University system, and to see that academic programs hinge on the success of sports teams' performances is sad. When people fail to research a school's academic programs, they will often go to the school with the most prestige or best sports team. I chose UCF because its the second best school in the nation for Computer Science and second to fourth best for video-game development, which is what I'm in now. I never considered sports when looking for my college, but if you do, then UCF has a good athletic department, and the gyms are nice!
Majority of student athletes on campus have great relations with their coaches and fellow athletes. Students can get involved through fan days and free sporting event tickets with just their student id's.
{{review.SectionLabel}} at {{review.EntityName}}:
Sorry, there are no reviews.
UCF is growing by leaps and bounds. The students love to hang out, and they all know how to have a good time. There's so much to do and there's something for everyone. Do you really need any more reasons to go to college in Florida?
Orlando is an exciting city with tons of attractions and activities available to all. In many ways, going to school at UCF resembles a four-year vacation (Disney on Sunday, classes on Monday!). Downtown Orlando on a Friday night can, at times, seem like Mardi Gras, and City Walk on a Saturday night isn't to be missed. Also, Floridians are welcoming and friendly and most students at UCF make friends quickly and easily. Friendly faces and sunny skies, what more could a college student ask for? The stellar academics, up-and-coming sports teams, and state-of-the-art facilities are reason enough to spend the next four years of your life at UCF; the city of Orlando is just one big fringe benefit.
