Notes: Humphries House had been a Zeta Upsilon ("Zu") frat house and monthly parties used to occur there that were referred to as "Full Moon at the Zoo" parties. A fire alarm sounded as Fluffhead moved into the Clod segment of Fluff's Travels, which caused the building to be evacuated. When the band retook the stage, they started up a humorous pass at You Shook Me All Night Long and then dove back into Fluff's Travels. Fire was dedicated to the "brave men" who turned off the fire alarm. Suzy contained Sailor's Hornpipe teases from Trey and Bowie included a brief Frosty the Snowman jam in the intro, as well as a Riders on the Storm tease from Page and a Santa Claus is Coming to Town tease. Melt contained a Fish drum solo. Love You was played for the first time since October 31, 1987 (134 shows) and featured Fish on trombone. Harpua contained "Charge!" and Price of Love teases from Page, multiple Gimme Some Lovin' teases, and a Walk This Way tease from Mike.

David Drumm first learned about the Anglo tapes when he logged on to the Irish Independent website early Monday morning in New York.
"I knew they were bad, bad, bad," he told IrishCentral on Friday.
He said he was aware such bank conversations were recorded and he especially wants to hear the similar conversations that were going on at that intense time between the other banks and the Central Bank of Ireland and the Financial Regulator.
It was a panicked time in the fall of 2008 as he relates it, when the entire foundation of the Irish economy seemed on the verge of crumbling. Threats and bluster and frustration were everywhere.
He sees a silver lining from his own perspective, that the focus will shift from the tapes to the events surrounding the disastrous government guarantee -- which he is adamant must be explained if people are to learn the whole truth about that period.
He sees the selective leaking of the tapes and the aftermath as a clear attempt to link Anglo to the creation of that guarantee. But he insists that the Anglo liquidity issue discussed on the tapes, and the guarantee decision made when Anglo was not present, are two very separate issues.
He is back in the limelight after a relatively quiet period and accepts his role as the villain but believes there is a compelling alternative narrative where everyone involved in the disastrous sequence of events at the time will receive the same scrutiny as he and his bank already have. That, he says, is what keeps him going.
(The Anglo Tapes were released last week by the Irish Independent , showing conversations between Anglo bankers including then CEO David Drumm discussing the massive banking crisis in September 2008 as it reached its zenith and Anglo was trying to stay afloat)
Do you regret the language used on the tapes?
I accept that the tone and language used in the tapes is inappropriate and I fully understand why the excerpts published have offended many people. Listening to a recording made almost five years ago at a highly stressful and volatile uncertain time is both embarrassing and a shocking reminder of how much pressure my colleagues and I were under at that time.
However, there is no excuse for the terrible language or the frivolous tone and I sincerely regret the offence it has caused. I cannot change this now but I can apologise to those who had to listen to it and who were understandably so offended by it.
But don't the tapes accurately reflect what was going on within Anglo at the time?
The selected excerpts from tapes beg more questions than they answer. They promote and suggest an incorrect interpretation about how and why the government issued a blanket guarantee in September 2008.
As this is at the very root of the current economic problems in Ireland it is not credible that these tapes somehow explain, or part explain, the government's reasoning for issuing the guarantee.
One has nothing to do with the other. And yet the tapes are being represented by sections of the Irish media as 'proof' that some form of misrepresentation took place on behalf of Anglo Irish Bank.
The facts do not in any way support this. The bank guarantee was issued on the night of September 29, 2008, following a meeting between the government, its officials and the chief executives and chairmen of Bank of Ireland and Allied Irish Bank who were present on the night.
So Anglo was not present?
Anglo Irish Bank was not represented and was unaware of the meeting in Government Buildings and found out about the guarantee the following morning at the same time the public was made aware through media reports. This has never been fully explained to the Irish public.
At no time did Anglo Irish Bank request the Central Bank or the Financial Regulator to ask the government to issue a blanket bank guarantee of all Irish banks' liabilities. Anglo's request was for a secured (on its loan book) loan facility of e7bn.
Anglo first became aware of the decision to issue the guarantee at the same time it was announced by the government. The bank was elated with the news because it was believed that the bank had been saved.
However, many in the bank were stunned that the government would take what some described at the time as the 'nuclear option' of guaranteeing all of the banks' liabilities instead of just protecting depositors. In order to survive the crisis, the bank would have been very grateful if they had protected depositors' money and provided the bank (and the other banks) with liquidity support to get the bank through the crisis.

When 2012 comes around and it's time to announce the Oscar for Best Actor, Michael Fassbender, 34, will probably be sitting in the audience at the Hollywood Bowl with a nomination for one of his performances in Shame, Jane Eyre and A Dangerous Method, and he will almost certainly not win.
But he should win. The adjudicators of the Venice Film Festival had the sense to recognize the scope of his talent earlier this year when they awarded him the prestigious Best Actor award for his unsettling performance in Shame, the controversial new film by director Steve McQueen.
Set in New York, Shame, which opens on Friday, introduces us to Brandon Sullivan (Fassbender) a young Irishman who emigrated with his parents to the U.S. when he was a teenager. Brandon is now a successful businessman in the city, but he has a dark side -- he's completely addicted to no-strings sex and hardcore pornography, to the point that it threatens to take over his life.
It's a far from sympathetic role at face value, but Fassbender is one of those once in a generation actors who can find the humanity in even the most difficult characters.
In his hands we see that Brandon's deepest problem is his inability to achieve intimacy with anyone in his life. That makes for a profoundly lonely existence.
As his free spirited sister Sissie, gifted British actress Carey Mulligan gives us a hint that the brother and sister's family life growing up in Ireland and then New Jersey was far from perfect.
"We came from a bad place but we're not bad people," she confesses at one point, leaving the audience and Fassbender's unforgettably haunted face to fill in the details.
It's the second time Fassbender, raised in Killarney, Co. Kerry, has worked with director McQueen (previously he starred as Irish hunger striker Bobby Sands in McQueen's extraordinary debut film Hunger). The partnership between the two has grown so strong now that Fassbender has said he would sign on for any future project with the director any time, anywhere, script unseen.
There's a good reason for this unqualified adulation -- McQueen's 2008 debut feature changed Fassbender's life, catapulting the then unknown Irish actor into the big leagues. Hailed at the time as a masterpiece, it was Fassbender's performance as Bobby Sands that carried the film. McQueen won the Camera dOr award for first time filmmakers at the prestigious Cannes Film Festival.
Now as Brandon Sullivan, Fassbender takes his career to much edgier places than he has ever dared to before. For a start there's his full frontal nudity, which earned the film a dreaded NC-17 rating.
Fassbender's courage is remarkable, because time and again director McQueen places him in the most vulnerable situations, in scenes that most other male actors would probably have balked at. It's a measure of the trust that must have grown between the two men that the film explores its dark subject matter as candidly as it does.

Sullivan's problem is that he objectifies women sexually, but cannot or will not connect with them emotionally. He has sex with multiple partners indoors and outdoors all over Manhattan, but he risks nothing of himself.
When a beautiful young woman comes along and begins to finally shatter the wall he has built between himself and the world, Sullivan at first embraces his salvation and then immediately rejects it, before he has even had the time to understand what he's doing.
McQueen's new film makes it clear that there is a world of difference between having sex and making love, and that the tension between satisfying the two often conflicting appetites can turn a man (or a woman's) life completely upside down.
Shame is very adult material in other words, because it grapples with issues that confront almost every grown up and it does so in a way that doesn't trivialize them or insult your intelligence.
McQueen pulls no punches. In satisfying his most basic instincts, we begin to realize that they in fact trap Sullivan.
Sex scenes become more and more frantic and desperate, until the final one takes on the aspect of a horror film.
Rather than give too much away here, suffice to say that the threesome near the end of the film strikes you as desperately sad and even horrific rather than erotic or freeing. Fassbender's face is a mask of desperation and loss, made all the more tragic by his refusal to understand his own predicament.

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) -- Police are searching a downtown Indianapolis college campus after receiving reports of a gunman near a campus parking lot.
Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis police officer Bill Abston says a female student called police around 12:30 p.m. Tuesday after seeing a man wearing a long brown coat and carrying what looked like a long gun near a nursing building.
Abston says police issued an alert and ordered a campus lockdown. IUPUI police and officers from the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department are searching the campus for the man.
Students and faculty have been told to seek shelter until they receive an all-clear message.
Riley Hospital for Children on the campus, a nearby magnet school and the NCAA headquarters also were locked down.
Classes at IUPUI resumed Monday after spring break.

The next life (as told in spite of my own Catholic virtues):
"Hello, hello, s there anyone out there? Hello. Is this really the end of the world? Hello?"
This sucks. I never said goodbye to the people I don't like. How could I have forgotten about Dec. 21 in this year of our Mayan lord? Is this hell?
The world blows up and I'm on the phone, with, of all people, an insurance agent, renegotiating a rate. I have a smile on my face as I walk through the rubble of hell, thinking "I saved $48 on my car insurance because of good behavior."
Well, while I'm down here, I may as well address some of the people I've had issue with and then I can forgive them, for they know not what they did.
Now where is that 13-year-old who dumped me for an older man in 1970?
I'm not going to just look her up. I'm going to demand an answer: "Why did you break my fragile heart, you unfeeling little tramp?"
"He was 15 and still years away from my maturity and wisdom. You were both so shallow to think that football star and cool chicks meant something in real life. There, I said it. I wanted to call him out too and never did. Where is he? I know he's down here somewhere."
There was that guy at the deli who hired me because my dad needed a favor. He treated me like a piece of lunch meat for $1.25 an hour. I hated that first responsibility I was forced into, and I wished bad things on that man. But I needed the job to pay for the liquor we stole from my friend's wedding. (My dad and mom were not happy about the bottle of Jack gone missing.)
That deli manager did not treat us fairly, but we all made up for his behavior. Did you know that there are 26 slices of white bread delivered in those plastic bags? Not at this deli. Two slices were always missing. (Oh, I'm spewing too much information. Maybe I don't need to run into him.)
How about that witch of an associate professor who kicked me out of class when I got caught cheating on her stupid test? It's one thing to get caught cheating, but did she really need to embarrass me in front of all those community college students? Off all things, a typing class. I still hate her for that. That woman has to be here in hell. Hello, Ms. Crabbyapple, where are you?
I know one guy I need to talk to. Let me look around. "Hey Tommy, where is you? About you putting sugar in my gas tank because I went out with your girlfriend. It wasn't a date. She wanted to talk about what a jerk you were. You owe me an apology. Show your face, you little creep. Come on man, that wasn't necessary."
Neither one of us ever saw her again and I wound up with cylinder damage in my 1967 Mercury Monterey. He deserves to rot in hell for that little escapade. (Oh, forgiveness, sorry.)
One example after another pops into my mind and I can't find anybody to vent to. Surely, the Mayans haven't designated this place just for me. This has to be a nightmare. "Hello? Anybody out there?"
I wake up in a cold sweat. I realize I was making excuses for everything bad that ever happened to me and even some of the bad things I was "coerced" to be part of.
I said a prayer to the pagan gods: "Oh thou holy miniature stone statuettes, I promise never to doubt your genius again, even though your calendar turned out to be stupid. Further, I humbly thank you for showing me a little vision of my own sorry life. Now, thou holy ones, get out of my way as I needith to sermonize with some who need forgiveness before the next prophecy rolls around. Amen."

Contra Costa Water District's half-million residential customers were invited to a public rate-hike hearing last week. By my count, three of them showed up. Oh, there were eight people scattered among the 100 or so seats, but that included me and four district staff members. They were recognizable by the serious looks on their faces and the binders in their laps.
It's safe to conclude the 3.5 percent rate increase that was approved and will become effective next month didn't generate a lot of consumer outrage.
Perhaps people are all outraged out, after the political campaigns, the fiscal cliff and the Oakland Raiders' 4-12 season. Even a teakettle can blow steam for only so long. Or perhaps the public's acceptance of a modest price bump reflects appreciation for that rarest of creations: a public agency that acts responsibly.
We give you, by comparison, the back-to-back East Bay Municipal Utility District rate bumps of 6 percent each for 2012 and 2013 and the Alameda Water District's proposed 17 percent hike for the Tri-City area this year. Contra Costa's increases over the past 10 years have swung between 1.5 and 4.3 percent, only twice exceeding 3.
That's because district guidelines dictate that no increases exceed the rate of inflation -- the Bay Area Consumer Price Index jumped by 3.7 percent this year -- and hikes are approved only as needed to meet operational, maintenance and capital expenses.
It's a lean, mean way of doing business -- very unbureaucratic.
"These rate increases are not arbitrary," said Joe Campbell, district board president. "They're done with math. We put in the assumptions of what we want to achieve and the projects we're going to build. Everything goes into a computer and spits out what we need to do."
Campbell, a retired waterline contractor and a board member for 21 years, said mismanagement and excessive rates inspired him to run for his office in 1991. ("That was the year they raised rates 23 percent," he said.) The district operated by the seat of its pants back then, pulling water from the Delta at all times of year and hitting customers in the pocketbook when it was short on cash.
Since then, the district built the sprawling Los Vaqueros reservoir -- when water is cleanest and most plentiful, it's stored there -- and new pipelines and treatment facilities were added. Much of that construction was financed. Repayment of those loans is factored into customer rates.
Campbell proudly explains that the district has increased its assets by $400 million in the last 10 years while reducing its staffing from 331 to 312, and none of its funding derives from taxes. District revenue comes from usage rates, outside contracts and grants.
Last week's hearing included a PowerPoint presentation, during which Director of Finance Brice Bledsoe showed the rate increases the district anticipates for each of the next 10 years, none exceeding 3.75 percent. That long-range forecast, he said, is designed to avoid rate volatility.
Said Campbell: "Unlike the federal government, which doesn't have a budget, we have one we renew and update each year. We also have a 50-year water supply plan. Where are we going to get it? How much are we going to need?"
It all sounded sane and logical. It sounded like the way an operation should be run.
It's hard to believe it's a public agency.

Is anyone heading out to the Double Trouble Trail Run at French Creek State Park? I am hoping to be there June 24. http://www.pretzelcitysports.com/doubletrouble.html[/URL" target="_blank"> I ran last year. It was a bit muddy, the day before it rained, but it kept race day cool.
its a maybe.
I'll be doing the 30K. I ran it last year too and had a great time despite the rain/mud. As you said, we lucked out with the relatively cool temps - it has the potential for being very hot!
There is also a race together thread[/URL" target="_blank"> for the double trouble.
[http://This message has been edited by loopy (edited May-31-2007).|http://This message has been edited by loopy (edited May-31-2007).]
I am going to run the Double Trouble. I have never run it before though so I am not quite sure what to expect...it will be interesting to see how it goes for me...it will be the longest trail run I have done.
I am fortunate to be able to run at French Creek nearly four times per week. The trails in sections are extremely rocky. There is a good sized climb to the fire tower around 4.5 miles into it before the first water stop. Then back down and around the base of fire tower hill. Then the course used to climb up to fire tower again. The trail there has been closed for a year due to erosion, I'm not sure if they plan on using that same section. If so, from the last water stop there is about 1.5 miles of foot flying fun down to Hopewell Lake to the finish. It's a good time all around. There are some really good trail runners who show up there and I suspect it will grow.
It originally looked like they would have to change the course, because of the closed trail. However, Ron Horn had some new info about that in the 05/16 Pretzel City Sports Newsletter:
I've gotten some indication that the new "white" trail in French Creek will be done by the date of the Double trouble so we probably will NOT have to revise the course or distance. There is also an outside chance that an old trail is being "renewed" up toward the fire tower. If so, we may even be able to eliminate the 300 yards that you have to run on road. Keep your fingers crossed and don't forget to get your apps in for this event.
That's great to hear. And as far as that section of road at the top of fire tower; I have been trying to locate that section of red trail several times now, the one that avoids the road. That must be the one they are repairing. Take a look at this. It is the PDF from DCNR of French Creek. I took it and marked the double trouble course. http://hammitup.com/Double%20Trouble%20Trail%20Map.pdf[/URL" target="_blank">
Hope it helps.
BTW – I was thinking of holding a trail race at French Creek. Give me your feedback on this. It would consist of a specific course mapped out on the French Creek Park. Anyone could run the course whenever they wanted over the course of a year. This would work on the honor system. You would submit your time to a message board or website and the results would be collected over this time. Run the course as many times as you wanted. Submit your times each time you ran. At the end we can announce winners and age groups. We could also hold informal races on this course a few times over the year. This has been something I have been cooking up over the past eight months. What have you?
Great! Wow, Rob, thanks so much for the map - very helpful indeed.
As far as the French Creek trail race, definitely sounds interesting. I live about an hour away, so probably could not make it out there too often, but would be interested in the informal races. Any chance of doing multiple loops for ultra distances?
I really want to run more ultras (so far, just did the Blues Cruise 50k last year), but it is hard for me to travel too far for races and there does not seem to be much close by (other than Blues Cruise). So would be quite nice to have some more ultra options nearby, even if of the "fat a$$" variety...
loppy- check out Fingerlake 50's in Hector, NY at the end of the month. I think it was about 3 hours for me to drive, i live near Valley Forge.
I may do another informal midnight training run this summer (had one in February with 12 people showing up!) but extend it longer than the other one. This one may be closer to 10 hours, rather than 12-5 or 6am.
Thanks for the info Merigayle!
I probably will not be able to make it to the Fingerlakes this year, but may try next year. Depending on the timing/logistics the informal training run this summer may be an option...
I'm going to go. I've never done one of their races. I hear only good things about them. I just hope I can remain injury free.
Loppy, I'm thinking about organizing a fat *** run in the vicinity of Philly. There are some real nice trails here and it's possible to link them together to get a 50 Miler pretty easily.
Thanks Gregolowe, I would definitely be interested in a 50 miler in the Philly area...
Best of luck at the Double Trouble. I have done it once before and the "Half-wit Half" twice and they were both a great time. See you there...
Loopy, thanks for reference to change in forum.
Never ran the DT before but am using it as a training run for Half Wit Half. I plan on kicking HWH's butt!!!!
Still running the roads during the week and running the trail on long run on Sunday. I am sticking with Hal's training program, so the miles are low in the begining. It feels weird to do only 6 miles for a long run, but I want to stick with the schedule.
Found another trail today and about halfway into it I thought it was too rough for running and found myself slowing down to manage to rocky path, running up steep hills or jumping downed trees. However after reading robhamm, it sounded like it was probably very appropriate for training. Ran 6 m with my dog. I started at 6:30 am and we had the whole place to ourselves. No one was on the trails. Very nice!!
Robhamm - thanks for the map. It has been about 30 years since I have been to French creek, so I wasn't sure what to expect.
Hello all - I think we are about two weeks away!! Did another trail run Sunday, however trail was packed with bikes. Had to keep stopping to let the pass. Poisen Ivy is all over and the paths are really narrow. Technu seems to be working, since I don't have any yet.

UCB: Positive phase III results
18.04.2012 - UCBs Cimzia has succeeded in a phase III. That raises hope that the TNF-α inhibitor could gain additional sales in the highly competitive anti-inflammation market.
Brussels – The TNF alpha inhibitor has met the primary endpoint in a phase III trial to treat adult onset of active axial spondoyloarthritis (AXSA). The study enrolled 325 patients with AXSA who were assigned to treatment with one of two doses of Cimzia (certolizumab pegol) or placebo over a 24-week period. The trial has shown a 20 per cent improvement in the Assessment of Spondyloarthritis International Society (ASAS20) response at week 12 compared to placebo. UCB expects to file for approval in this indication later this year. The pegylated humanised antibody fragment Cimzia (certolizumab pegol) is already approved in Europe and the US for rheumatoid arthritis and in the US for Crohn's disease, although the EU rejected UCB's application to market the drug in the latter indication in 2008. It is UCB's second-biggest product with sales of €312m last year, up more than 50 per cent compared to 2010. Axial spondyloarthritis is a collective name for a series of inflammatory rheumatic diseases of the spine, joints, ligaments and tendons, and includes a spinal condition known as ankylosing spondylitis. Expanding the labelling for Cimzia in this indication is important for UCB to make headway against the drug's rivals in the competitive anti-TNF alpha sectorlike Enbrel (Amgen, Pfizer and others), Humira (Abbott, Eisai ) and Johnson & Johnson's Remicade. The competitors fear the appearance of biosimilar rivals entering the market after the drug's patent expiry in 2014. In addition to the axial spondyloarthritis indications, UCB is also planning to submit Cimzia for psoriatic arthritis by the end of the year, and is also awaiting approval of the drug for rheumatoid arthritis in Japan, where it has been co-developed by Astellas Pharma.http://www.european-biotechnology-news.com/news/news/2012-02/positive-phase-iii-results-support-cimzia-label-expansion.html

In Columbia, No. 14 South Carolina batted around in the first inning to score five times and senior left-hander Nolan Belcher worked into the ninth inning and struck out nine batters with no walks to earn his fifth win of the season as the Gamecocks knocked off No. 13 Texas A&M 6-4 on Friday night at Carolina Stadium.
South Carolina improved to 21-6 and 4-4 in the SEC with the Aggies falling to 18-10 and 5-3 in conference play.
Belcher (5-2) worked 8 1/3 innings and allowed four runs — two earned — on seven hits. Tyler Webb recorded the final two outs with a pair of strikeouts to capture his 10th save of the year.
Tanner English and Chase Vergason collected three hits each to lead the Gamecocks' offensive attack. English drove in a team-high two runs.
Wofford 9, Appalachian State 1: In Boone, N.C., Brandon Yarusi tossed a complete-game gem to lead the Terriers (13-14, 4-6 SoCon) to a victory over the Mountaineers (12-9, 4-5).
Yarusi allowed one run on four hits to capture his first victory of the season.
Josh Hyman and Seth Neely each finished 4-for-4 from the plate as the offense pounded out nine runs on 15 hits for Wofford. Hyman crossed the plate four times and James Plaisted, Clark Wise and Luke Feisal each drove in two runs.
USC Upstate 5, Northern Kentucky 4: Brandon Patterson went 3-for-4 with two RBIs to help the Spartans (14-11, 3-5 A-Sun) slip past Northern Kentucky (3-23, 1-4) at Harley Park.

Barton 2, Limestone 1: In Gaffney, Collins Cuthrell smashed a two-run ninth-inning home run off reliever Kaleb Earls (4-4) to lift the Bulldogs (14-14, 5-8 Conference Carolinas) past the Saints (16-15, 6-9).
Limestone's losing streak extended to five straight after the heartbreaking loss.
Chad Balderman and Julian Bridges each collected two hits for the Saints.
Limestone starter Cameron Ward received the no-decison, after allowing one run on just two hits in 8 1/3 impressive innings pitched.
Coker 5, North Greenville 3: In Hartsville, North Greenville (11-20, 4-9 Conference Carolinas) couldn't hold off a Coker rally. Andrew Lawrence was 3-for-5 with an RBI. Ryan Woodring took the loss, allowing four runs, three earned, on nine hits in seven innings.

Richard Gere is reportedly dating "Top Chef" host Padma Lakshmi, according to the New York Post.
"They have been quietly spending some time together. It is all very new and recent, and happened while he has been filming in New York," a source reportedly told the paper.
Gere, 64, is in the middle of getting divorced from actress/model Carey Lowell, 52, after 11 years of marriage. The pair have a son, Homer.
Gere was also married to Cindy Crawford ... not at the same time, though.
Lakshmi was married to author Salman Rushdie for three years until they divorced in 2007. She then dated billionaire Teddy Forstmann until he died of brain cancer in 2011. Lakshmi has a 3-year-old daughter, Krishna Thea Lakshmi-Dell, with Adam Dell, the venture capitalist brother of computer maker Michael Dell.
It's like one needs a flow chart to keep up with all of these people.
The Post reported Gere is currently in New York filming "Time Out of Mind," in which he plays a homeless man trying to reconnect with his estranged daughter.

Hi all!!! i have done the c25k program but it has been a while since i have run sooooo im starting at the beginning again :/ hopefully i will be able to stay on track and finish the program on schedule!!!
Happy running to you all!
Hi Nikita138. I've started the C25K as well, and am on my 2nd week. I'm really surprised that I'm not having any major pain. (Usually in the past, I've tried running too far, too soon in my attempt to begin running again, which has ended in my leg muscles so sore I'd stop.) I'm really enjoying the C25K schedule.
hey keith,
no pain here today either! whooo hoooo i tried starting the program in april but life got in the way, i did the program a couple of years ago and loved the schedule pace. i wasnt sure how this was gonna go but i was able to start out with week two!. happy to see that someone else is starting, hopefully we can motivate each other.
Hi, I started C25K last week too. I did W2D2 today and I'm really enjoying it so far, which was a pleasant surprise since I've spent a lot of time in the gym recently lifting weights and not a lot of time doing cardio.
My background: I'm 31 living in Perth, Australia. I used to run in high school and really enjoyed it. As I got older and got a sedentry job the kilos have crept on. I don't have a lot to lose (maybe 8kg) but I'm getting close to the unhealthy weight range for my height which bothers me. My fiance and I have a lot of travel booked in the next six months (five weeks in New Zealand over Christmas and then six weeks travelling in March-April) so keeping up a gym routine is going to be impossible. Runnin appeals because I can throw my shoes in the suitcase and can run anywhere
Oh and I've signed up for the Color Run in Perth on 17 February 2013! I want to run the whole thing if I can.
Nice to meet you both, hopefully we get some more
well after three days of the site not letting me log in i finally had success!!!!!! week two has been successfully completed whooo hoooo. now to fit week three in :/, very busy schedule and with it getting colder i run at the gym.
hi prue nice to meet you. i have vacation booked right after christmas which has been my motivation to start the program. i started running when i saw the C25k also because of the convience. i can toss in the sneakers and ready to go, most hotels have a "gym" these days that at least contains a treadmill or two AND air conditioning.
i also wanted to get a head start on my new years resolution to exercise more. (its usually on the top of my list and i get a bit lax when summer rolls around).
Good luck with week three!!
just returned from the gym W3D1 done!!! the first three minute run was a little painful at the end but much better the second time around...........feeling great

Australian DJs apologize for royal hoax call
Pair appear in first interview on Australian TV
The Australian radio hosts behind a hoax phone call to the British hospital where the pregnant Duchess of Cambridge was staying said through tears that they were shattered upon learning that the nurse who was duped by their prank had died.
2DayFM radio DJs Mel Greig and Michael Christian have faced worldwide outrage over the hoax. They spoke publicly about the prank for the first time Monday in a televised interview with Australia's "A Current Affair."
Nurse Jacintha Saldanha answered the phone last week when the pair called, impersonating Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Charles. They received and broadcast confidential information about the duchess's medical condition.
Saldanha died three days later. The cause is not yet known, but critics of the DJs assume stress from the prank played a role.

News 12 at 6 o'clock / Wednesday, April 3, 2013
LINCOLNTON, Ga. (WRDW) -- This parent is "going to bat" for her child after she says the bats heightened her daughter's asthma symptoms.
Last Friday seemed like a normal day for Jessica Elliot until she got a text message from her seventh grade daughter.
"I thought my daughter was joking. She sent us a text message saying, 'Mama, there's a bat in the hallway,'" Elliot said.
The joke was over when she got a picture of a bat in the hallway of the school.
"This little black spot that you can tell that it's a bat," Elliot said as she pointed to the picture. "I was just in shock."
"Yes, we're having a bat problem right now," Lincoln County Middle School Principal Pam Carmichael admitted.
Carmichael says this isn't the first time bats have made an appearance at the school.
"About 10 years ago we had this same problem, and we got rid of them then, and we intend to get rid of them now," she said.
Carmichael says when the bats showed up about three weeks ago, they handled the problem right away.
"Our maintenance director, he got them out. He stayed up here all night long and let them go out, and then we plugged the hole and didn't have a problem for a couple more weeks. Then all of a sudden, they showed up again," she said.
"Friday she said the smell was so bad that her teacher moved them outside for class," said Elliot, recalling her daughter's words.
As the mother of an asthmatic, Elliot has one concern.
"The main question I had was why wasn't I contacted? Why wasn't I informed that my daughter was around these conditions? I was told that Elizabeth could not be around the smell because it would make her asthma worse," she said.
"It wasn't a matter of that we felt like there was an immediate danger that we needed to notify. We've moved [the bats] and we've taken care of them, and they're out of our building now. We do everything we can to make sure that our students are safe and taken care of," Carmichael said.
The principal says the bats are gone now, and the bat guano that's causing the smell will be cleaned up. The school goes on spring break next week.
Until then, she says kids will be kept out of the classroom where the smell was the worst.
Some parents are hearing about it for the first time, but they'll all know soon now that the principal says she'll probably send a note home.

The Tracker Pro Team 175 TF has a LOA of 17'7" (5.36 m) and can handle up to a 75-hp engine.
Mission of the Tracker Pro Team 175 TF
This boat is designed to be a bass and multi-species boat that is fully-equipped to go fishing right out of the box. Further, it is built to be the most rugged, durable boat in class -- no matter what the price -- with the added advantage of having a remarkably smooth ride.
The casting decks are easily large enough for two people to work together.
To Weld or Not to Weld…
Building a strong boat starts with the construction phase. Here we have an aluminum boat built tough with all-welded seams. Now we all know the fans of riveted boats like to pick on welded boats. Their argument is that a welded seam is simply a place where a bond can crack. But, if that were the case, then every tanker on the high seas might want to consider riveting. So, let's look at how Tracker addresses its welding process.
The 175 TF is built with all-welded seams that are formed under quality controlled conditions for consistency. Note the rub rail.
It would be easy, and probably cheaper, to put a guy on the assembly line and have him welding seams all day long. But people have bad days, and the consistency level fluctuates, especially when doing the same thing over and over and…
Robots, on the other hand, never have an "off" day. They never show up for work late. And their work is consistent from one day to the next, ad infinitum. And robots are the way Tracker chooses to handle the task of welding the critical areas of the hull -- the transom and the bow cap. But it goes much deeper than that.
If you Can't Take the Heat…
Welding creates heat and that heat needs to be managed with precision. If a weld isn't hot enough, it could crack over time... too much heat and the component itself is weakened. All the jigs that hold the parts together are actually heat sinks that draw heat away from the part as it's being welded. That, along with the precise amount of application to the process, ensures that a part is not compromised due to being too hot, or too cold.
Warranty Where Their Claim Is
So as to the argument that a welded part is an invitation to cracking, the construction team at Tracker believe otherwise, and they not only have a long and successful history to back up that mindset, they stand behind it with a transferable warranty. That pretty much puts the cracking red herring to bed.
Unitized Construction
But there's more to the strength and integrity of Tracker boats than precision welding. The hulls and decks are constructed as separate units, not unlike their fiberglass counterparts.
The fuel and electrical systems are located under a hatch at the aft casting deck. Notice the hatch is made from aluminum reinforced with a hat section. The carpeting wraps around for a tight closure that won't bounce open while underway.
The hull itself is formed by bending the aluminum in a brake. This also adds strength. The concept can be illustrated by picking up a piece of paper. Naturally, the paper will bend in the middle, but put a fold in the paper and pick it up again and it will stay rigid. The same logic applies as Tracker forms the hull. The keel, lifting strakes, and reverse chine are all formed right into the hull in a similar fashion.
Strong Transom
Once the one-piece hull has been welded into shape, the full-length stringer systems are robotically welded into place, followed by the transom. Tracker's transoms are all aluminum, not aluminum skinned pressure treated wood as we have seen elsewhere. They're fabricated from strong box-beam construction and then welded onto the hull with knee braces for additional strength. Any additional components that get added, such as compartments, bulkheads, decking… are all structural because they are not just placed in, or even screwed in. They are welded to the main structure of the boat.
Finishing Touches
The rear deck has an aluminum base and the cockpit sole and foredeck are laid down with ¾" 7-ply pressure treated that has a limited lifetime warranty. Carpeting is 16-ounce cut pile with a solid rubber backing keeping everything watertight.
Foam Flotation.
Two-part expandable foam is injected into void areas that further serves to solidify the entire structure and bond everything together as one solid unit. The foam, as well as the rubber backing on the carpeting, also has the added side bonus of noise reduction. Fish are easily spooked when something is dropped onto a metal deck. That problem is mitigated here.
Remember, all boats powered by a 2-hp engine or greater must float level when swamped to meet USCG regulations. The 175 TF is no exception.
Some of the storage compartments are lockable to protect valuable equipment.
Designed for Comfort
Comfort is a high priority with Tracker. As such, it has come up with the Revolution Mod-V hull. It consists of a variable dead rise hull starting at 20-degrees at the bow and flattening out to 10-degrees at the stern. The relatively sharp bow cuts through waves while the flattening out of the sections in the stern provides stability, particularly when walking about the casting decks.
The flattish bottom also means quicker planing times. The reverse chines provide additional stability on the drift as well as help the 175 TF carve through turns. The combination is so successful that Tracker offers a "Smooth-ride Guarantee". If the boat does not perform as a customer expects it can be returned for full credit for a new boat of equal or greater value.
The pedestal seats are thickly padded and include pinchless hinges. Multiple base positions are located throughout the 175 TF.
There is storage available under the two fixed seats. The pedestal bases not only allow for three-across seating but additional fishing space. All seats are made of composite materials for long-term durability.
"Power-Trac" Transom
The offset transom also plays an important role in the boat's performance. There is a raised area at the bottom of the transom that creates a clean water area aft of the running surface. With the propeller in cleaner, less disturbed water the prop is more efficient. That translates to better performance with less horsepower... a direct savings to the owner in operating costs.
Here the offset Power-Trac transom (A) can be seen. It is raised from the bottom and extends past the running surface. Below it are the screened pickup tubes (B) for the dual livewells, the drain outlets (C) in black, and the bilge drain in the center (D). Just above the three trailer lights is a spindle (E) to hold the standard engine support that takes the weight off the hydraulics when trailering.
Drink and tackle holders are located to both port and starboard of the bow, which means she is designed for panfish, crappie, bass and walleye in protected lakes and rivers.
Fishing Features
The Tracker Pro Team 175 TF is billed as a multi-species platform. This differs from a definitive bass boat in several ways. Her deeper V-hull and higher make her more comfortable and drier in bigger water that bass boats are not usually subject to.
Tracker not only includes two livewells on the 175 TF but they are both aerated and timed. They each include bait buckets that are removable, if fishing with lures instead of live bait, and that adds to the storage space for live catch.
Movable Seats
Tracker puts dual pedestal bases at the foredeck to allow two people to fish side-by-side. If things start to get choppy, both seats can be moved to the cockpit, lowering the center of gravity and making for a more comfortable fishing position. And there is one pedestal mount in the stern. A center pedestal base in the cockpit also allows for three across seating. The standard trolling motor is mounted in the center of the bow providing better controllability.
With dual pedestal bases (A) at the bow, two fishermen can work together. Dual bases in the cockpit (B) allow for a more comfortable position when things get choppy and for three-across seating when running. Check out the roto-molded drink and storage bins (C) at both sides of the bow.
Dual livewells with separate bait buckets keep any one fisherman from having to traverse to the other end of the boat to get bait or store the catch. There are seven storage compartments.
Handy Livewells.
With two livewells there's no having to go to opposite ends of the boat just to store the catch. The buckets in each livewell also keep live bait within reach. But for those who choose to fish with lures instead of minnows, the bait buckets are easily removed and a larger livewell is instantly created. Obviously, two livewells mean each angler's catch can be kept separate.
The boat comes standard with two Interstate batteries, one for cranking and one for the trolling motor.
Minn-Kota Trolling Motor
The folks at Tracker have looked at all trolling motors available and have selected as standard equipment the Minn-Kota Edge because of its durability. It has 45-lbs. of thrust and is center-mounted. The unit has a tough, marine-grade anodized aluminum spine and an impact-resistant head on the foot control. The prop is the Weedless Wedge 2 model.
Storage Compartments
The bow livewell is 15 gallons and the aft one is 16 gallons. Both are gray with rounded corners, have 500 gph (1,862 lph) aerator/fill pumps, timers and removable bait buckets.
In the bow on the left side is a lockable rod storage locker for 7' (2.13 m) rods. Note the welded and drained rainwater channels which help keep the compartment dry.
There are two storage compartments in the aft deck that are a perfect size for Plano tackle boxes. (A) Indicates the 4" (10.16 cm) one-piece extruded aluminum gunwale with rub rail insert. This extrusion adds strength and rigidity to the hull and provides side protection when docking.
This storage compartment in the bow is lockable and has the welded aluminum rain channels to help keep contents dry.
The deck of the 175 TF is covered in 16-oz. carpet that has proven to be durable over the years. Note the second pedestal base behind the storage compartment in the bow.
Heavy-duty roto-molded bases for the helm and companion seating have molded-in rain channels which direct water to the cockpit sole to help keep stored contents dry.
Part of the standard features is this Lowrance X-4 Pro fishfinder with surface temperature and swivel and the fire extinguisher beneath the console. The steering wheel is padded and the instruments are illuminated for night running.
The Trailer
The Tracker Pro Team 175 TF is offered as a complete boat, motor and trailer package. Tracker builds its own trailers in-house in order to keep a handle on quality and also eliminate a third party vender's mark-up. The metal used to fabricate the trailers comes from the mill already galvanized. Baked-on powder-coating finish is added at the factory after the frame has been welded together. The trailers are fabricated from all-welded tubular frames creating a unitized structure with an exceptional strength-to-weight ratio.
Heavy-duty upright load guides are built in for easy centering and loading. Standard features include a swing-away tongue, a heavy-duty winch with nylon strap, tie-down straps, carpet bunks and fender boards, submersible lights and even an outboard motor support.
The swing-away tongue on the standard trailer allows the 175 TF to be stored in an owner's garage.
The 175 TF has baked-on painted hull sides, transom and gunwales for long-term good looks and durability. Heavy duty trailer guides help center the boat on the trailer. Wheels are 13" (33 cm) with a silver metallic powder-coated finish. EZ lube hubs are used for complete lubrication.
The Price
The price of the Pro Team 175 TF with the trailer and a Mercury 4-stroke 60-hp outboard is $15,595.
The Bottom Line…
Because of its high unity volume, robotics, and level work flow all year long, Tracker is able to pass the lower cost onto the buyer without sacrificing in the build quality to do so.
The following items are part of the Tracker Warranty --
• 5 year bow-to-stern warranty
• 3 year warranty on powder coat finish adhesion
• 3 year warranty on factory-installed trolling motor and fishfinder
• Limited Lifetime structural and deck warranty
• Provisions for transfer to second owner
• One-stop factory warranty solution
• Full coverage throughout the warranty period — No pro-rating
Because the price is so low for the 175 TF, it is natural for some people to wonder what has been left out, what corners have been cut, and what is the catch? As our report above points out, not only is the boat built as well or better than any on the market in its size range, it is also loaded with all of the equipment needed to go fishing. Third party equipment are all premium products.
The answer to that question is that Tracker is able to sell the 175 TF at such a reasonable price because of high volume, standardized manufacturing processes, economical third party vendor sourcing of equipment and lower factory and dealer margins. Most of this is predicated on the high volume. For example, high volume encourages vendors to sharpen their pencils and allows Tracker's factory to maintain a constant level of production of the 175 every day. Basically it is a strategy that Henry Ford figured out 100 years ago, and it works just as well today.

Employer input needed in survey
June 3, 2013
PARKERSBURG — The Workforce Investment Board of the Mid-Ohio Valley will release a brief survey around June 10 on existing and future employer needs in its nine-county region of Calhoun, Clay,......
Prospective employees should leave their cigarettes, Adderall, cell phones, kids, and dogs at home. Don't call off on your first day or any other day. Don't tell your boss how to run his or her business. Don't gossip and badmouth your coworkers. Be as willing to work on your 834th day as you were on your first day. Follow these rules and everyone will get along just fine.
0 Agrees | 0 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
Prospective employees do need to learn how to apply and interview for jobs. It also helps that employees like their jobs and give good service to their employer for which they are paid a living wage with retirement/health benefits. Running a business or company is a partnership of sorts. Mutual respect is paramount.

Hello fellow newbies and/or fellow runners/joggers/walkers!
I would like to start running!
My goal is to become more active- I don't want to be out of breath anymore when I have to jog across campus- or taking the laundry down the stairs.
Least to say I am out of shape- though not by the looks of it. When I tell all my friends I want to be more active they all say "Why? Don't be crazy- you look great!" They don't understand that I just want to be healthier and achieve a more active lifestyle. If I shed fat- thats all fine and dandy- but I just want to feel great. As I can't get support or advice from my friends or family, I have turned to you, Cool Running community!
I have tried this before and I get discouraged quickly. I can't run a mile right now, when I could run a 6:30 mile easily in high school. So when I run a minute and I'm dying it's rather frustrating. Anybody been there before? How did you increase your tolerance? I'd surely appreciate any words of encouragement, advice, or even your stories!
Hi there!
I'm new to running too and am a bit freaked out about it. I'm doing the Couch2 5K program, but have to admit I've tried it about 3 times before and have just quit before I even got to week 3! I do like to workout, but running just seems like an entirely new animal to me. I don't enjoy it and just keep looking at my watch to see how much longer before I can stop. But I keep telling myself to press on this time because I need to prove I can do it! I work out pretty regularly - I do an hour of spin classes, which is a pretty hard workout. BUT for some reason when it comes to running, I can't even last 3 whole minutes! It's so discouraging! I am on week 4 today and about to go out and do my run. I'm scared - I'm supposed to run for 5 minutes straight and not sure if I can do it! I need some encouragement!!! Let's encourage each other! I'm sure you can do it!!!!!! Let's show ourselves that we CAN do it!! I'm out the door. Please wish me luck. I don't want to come back discouraged.
Oh - I've so been there. When i was in high school I ran Track and Cross country and up until about a year ago I got winded going up stairs. But I will tell you that if you make a commitment to your self and your program (like Couch to 5K) you'll see an improvement. In the same way we didn't get out of shape in a day we can't get back into shape in a day either. Just keep at it and set yourself goals. Make sure you are eating right and getting enough sleep. Once you reach that first goal - you'll feel proud and ready to move on to your next goals.
Remember - Don't give up!
I'm usuing the same program! I'm about to start day 2 as we speak!
I feel the same as you do. Running seems this scary feat- that I must accomplish. It's tough when you think you are halfway done to realize you have 20 minutes to go. But you just gotta pick some great tunes and trudge along... We can do it if we want to.
When you come back from your run just remember that at least you got out there and did something good for yourself! Good luck and keep your chin up!
I just have to add my words of encouragement. I hated to run and used to say I would never run. Well, a year into it, I just ran my first 5k and let me tell you it is so worth it.
The feeling you get when you cross that finish line is AMAZING!!! The 5k was this past Saturday. It is now Thursday and I am still flying high!!!
My best advice to you is to take your time and go at your own pace. I didn't do the C25K program. I started with a 2 mile walk and then just ran a little bit of it to start. Every week I would add a little more to my running distance. It takes a bit longer than the normal 8 week program, but it worked for me.
Also, don't try to go for any speed records at first. My 5k time was over 35 minutes.....I'm just happy that I ran the whole thing. I'm sure speed will come, but if it doesn't, I'm happy with a 12 minute mile!
Just believe that you can do it and you will!
Congrats on getting started....keep it up!

Hi, running got easier for me by running more and increasing distance by one day.
Wow, I am so encouraged by all of your comments. I just walked in the door and am dripping sweat! I decided to do week 3 again instead of moving on to the week 4 program. I want running 3 minutes straight to be easier before I tackle 5 minutes. I'm definitely not even keeping track of how fast I'm running or walking. In fact, I know I'm going really really slowly. But that's ok. I just want to condition my body to get used to running. More importantly, I want running to be fun, not so excruciatingly boring for me!! I hear that at some point it becomes enjoyable. When does that point come?!! I'm a gym person. I need music and a class and others around me to push me. Please tell me it becomes FUN at some point! Have a great day everyone.

Are you using any of the Podcasts during your runs? I like the music and the idea of someone pushing me too. I could not do this w/o the Podcasts. Not only does the beat of the music help but having someone telling me to "keep going, you're doing great" or "you're 1/2 way there, keep pushing" or "only 1 minute to go...." is priceless. I feel like I have a running coach with me at all times.
If you haven't checked them out...do it!! It makes all the difference!
Registered for my first 5K...coming up on 4/10 (hoping to finish in under 40 minutes)!
where do i go to get the Podcasts? Right now I just listen to my iPod playlist while the Couch to 5K program is running.
In iTunes, search for "couch to 5K" and you'll find a bunch of great podcasts - Robert Ullrey's is prominent (his was the original, I believe), there are some by Podrunner and I'm currently listening to the Chubby Jones C25K podcast. I liked the Robert Ullrey podcast the first time I did the C25K program, but after a bit I prefer my own music.
http://www.c25k.com/ list a bunch of sources for podcasts, some free, some not.
Congrats on deciding to be more active and to feel great. I can relate to a lot of the things you are going through. I started out by cutting down my caloric intake - stopped eating seconds and thirds, I would tell people - before I started on a little exercise regimen. At first I just walked around the block, then two blocks and then around the local public golf course. You just have to stick with it. Slowly increase your distance every day which may help you not get discouraged. If you don't increase the distance try to get it done a few seconds faster. You are in it for the long haul so don't work to try and get things done too fast.
I lost 45 pounds total in a 9 month period, went from 195 to 150 which is where I should be for someone being 5'5" - have stayed there for 6 months now. Went from having never ran before in the first 47 years of my life to running the next 8 months in several 5Ks and actually completed a half marathon in January. Most of the races in which I have participated I did the "walk some, run some" and pretty soon I am at the finish line. During my training for the half my plan was to listen to music while I ran/walked. At the start of a song I would walk the first 30 seconds before running for the remainder of the song. When the next song started I would repeat the cycle. You can do a variety of that in order to build endurance.
Making the decision to get active was hard, the work ahead of you is hard, but know that there are many here who have gone thru the same thing and are supporting you evrey step of the way. Keep posting here any questions you may have, or when in search of motivation. Another thing you can do is to start a blog. This will help you keep track of your progress, and that will definitely be a good motivator.

Congratulations on deciding to be a healtier you! I started the c25k program in January, and I will admit, there were some rough spots. I repeated a few weeks because I didn't think my body (or my mind) was ready to move on to the next week, but this past Tuesday, I jogged 2.6 miles and it was great! During week 6, I was finding myself getting winded so quickly and counting the minutes before I could walk again, so got on here and asked for some advice. Everyone suggested that I slow down my pace, and it made all the difference in the world. I'm not going to "win" any races at this pace, but for me, this is all about getting fitter and developing a healthier lifestyle. If I can do that, and learn to love running, then I'll be a winner in my book!
Good luck!
I guess it all comes down to your definition of the word fun.... I haven't reached that point. I enjoy knowing I'm helping myself, but not ready to say I actually think running is fun.

"I'm about to turn 50 in March, and for half my life I've watched her on television. I was one of those crazy super fans that used to VCR her in the old days and watch it every night.
"The truth is, when I was about to sign with NBC I questioned whether I would be able to do it and withstand the network pressure."
After the famous Jay Leno and Conan O'Brien scraps over broadcast times -- a fiasco that ended with O'Brien walking -- O'Donnell admits she was not feeling very safe or secure about the network's investment in their talent.
"When Oprah Winfrey said, 'Would you do it for me?' I called my agent. You make a lot more on the networks than you do on cable," O'Donnell said.
"But no part of my career was ever about money, it was about trying to do the best job in the best place that would be most congruent with my life and my values. And that's where I ended up. For me it's like winning the lottery and I couldn't be more thrilled.
"Oprah made me believe I could do it. I told her she had played a starring role in my life. She just didn't know she'd been cast in it. "
Chicago, says O'Donnell, is like a cleaner, more European version of New York.
"Now I have yet to do a winter here and the locals are already saying just wait. But it's epically beautiful, and the only thing that concerns me is that snow-mageddon winter they're all talking about. "
Guests both actual and desired in the coming months will include Adele, Russell Brand, Melissa McCarthy (from Bridesmaids and Mike and Molly) and Ryan Gosling.
But there will be discussion of the issues of the day – and game shows, where everyone wins.
Expect some straight talking on occasion too, because over the last decade O'Donnell has grown into a passionate and articulate debater on many issues.
"Growing older and being almost 50 years old gives you a perspective on who you are in a way that you can't possibly have in your thirties," she feels.
"I think on my new program we're going to have the time and the space to go in depth about the things that we feel and think and on the points we disagree on without the antagonism and the vitriol of my time on The View."
The Rosie Show airs weeknights at 7 p.m.

Genticel bags €18.2m
26.04.2013 - French vaccine specialist Genticel SA (Toulouse) has raised €18.2m in a financing round.
The round was led by Wellington Partners (Munich), which included all current institutional investors such as IDInvest Partners, Edmond de Rothschild Investment Partners (Paris), InnoBio fund, IRDI and Amundi Private Equity Funds. The company said it will use the new funds to push its two therapeutic vaccine candidates against the cancer-causing human papilloma virus subtypes HPV16 and HPV18.
Its ProCervix vaccine, which is built on Genticel's CyaA antigen delivery technology, has successfully finished phase I clinical study. The phase I trial (n=47) revealed no dose limiting toxicity and no patient drop-out. In addition, ProCervix induced a dose-dependent immune response as well as viral clearance in a substantially larger percentage of patients as compared to placebo. ProCervix will enter into phase II development in order to demonstrate proof of efficacy. Genticel's other pipeline product is a CyaA-based multivalent HPV vaccine with additional virus subtype coverage. Currently, there is preventive HPV vaccination but still no effective treatment against established infection with high-risk HPV types albeit promising approaches.
Genticel's vaccines are designed for the treatment of infected women who have not yet developed high-grade cervical lesions or cancer. Recent estimates by the World Health Organization suggest that world-wide approximately 300 million women are carriers of HPV infection at any given time and approximately 500,000 patients are diagnosed with cervical cancer each year.
