My brother-in-law died at 49 from malignant melanoma. This video is a powerful message, Mags. Thanks!
My friend Chris died from melanoma. She was diagnosed on April 18 and died June 9. Yes, it can be that quick. Thanks for the reminder Mags. I'm passing it on!
Great video! It's a shame we don't see this on TV in place of commercials.
I've forwarded it on to everyone I know, thank you for posting it.
Consider yourself hugged
Very powerful...thanks for posting. I had basal cell skin cancer and that was scary enough....too many sunburns from those Long Island beaches when I was a teen.

Wild turkeys in New Hampshire are a wildlife restoration success story. The state now offers generous spring and fall turkey hunting opportunities, as well as a special youth hunt, April 30–May 1, 2011. The highest concentration of turkeys is in the Connecticut River Valley—though they are well distributed throughout the state, and their clucks, purrs and gobbles may be heard just about anywhere!
Turkey Hunting Licensing Requirements
Adult hunters (16 or older) must have a Regular NH Hunting or Archery License and a turkey license to hunt turkey. Youth hunters (under 16 years of age) do not need a hunting, combination or archery license, but they do need a turkey license. Each turkey license comes with two tags: one valid for taking one bearded bird during the spring season, and one valid for taking one bird of either sex in the fall. Fall hunting may be done statewide (except WMU-A) with bow and arrow during the fall archery season, or with a shotgun during the fall shotgun season in those units where allowed (see season chart below).
Turkey Hunting Regulations
Hunting Hours:
- Fall: ½ hour before sunrise to ½ hour after sunset.
- Spring: ½ hour before sunrise to 12 noon.
Turkey must be tagged immediately upon killing. Registration of a fully feathered intact carcass is required within 24 hours of taking. The turkey may be gutted. See list of Turkey Registration Stations.
Shotguns must be 10, 12, 16 or 20 gauge using shot sizes 2, 4, 5, or 6.
A person who has taken a turkey may assist another properly licensed turkey hunter by calling only. The person assisting by calling shall not possess a firearm or bow and arrow.
Archers must have their name and address on arrows. Fixed blade broadheads cannot be less than ⅞ inches wide; there is no upper size limit. Retractable blade broadheads are permitted (must be not less than ⅞ of an inch wide when open). Minimum draw weight for turkeys is 30 lbs.
It is unlawful to:
- possess a turkey that hasn't been properly tagged.
- possess a detached turkey tag. Upon killing a turkey the tag shall be filled out and immediately attached to the turkey.
- take a turkey with a rifle, dogs (during spring season), bait, electronic calling devices, live decoys, by cooperative drives or while the turkey is in a tree.

PARKERSBURG - Over a hundred visitors toured the historic Cook House and received a glimpse of colonial holiday traditions Saturday during the Junior League of Parkersburg's annual Colonial Christmas Celebration.
The Junior League held its holiday open house Saturday afternoon at the 183-year-old house at 1301 Murdoch Ave. in Parkersburg.
Delores Watkins, of Lubeck, has been visiting the historic home during the holiday celebration for the past couple of years because she enjoys the experience.

The Junior League of Parkersburg held a holiday open house Saturday at the 183-year-old Cook House on Murdoch Avenue.
"I like the history, I like the decorations," she said.
"I think it's a nice time to go back in history for a little while and I enjoy everything about it," Watkins said of the event.
Steve and Amy DeLay, of Williamstown, visited the Cook House Saturday with their two sons for the first time after reading about the holiday event.
"It's great, it's lovely," Amy DeLay said. "We really enjoyed it, it's beautiful."
"It's awesome," 7-year-old Jason said, while 10-year-old Ryan agreed. "It's cool."
Jessica Myers, chair of the Cook House for the Junior League, said about 100 people of all ages visited the Cook House through the afternoon. A lull in the traffic occurred about 1:30 p.m. when the Parkersburg Christmas Parade got under way about three blocks away, but she said visitation was high in the periods before and after the parade.
Saturday's activities included colonial crafts for children and adults, tours of the Cook House with period rooms decorated with trimmings from the time, photos with Santa Claus and light refreshments.
The Cook House was built in 1829 and is the oldest brick home in Parkersburg still standing on its original location. The Junior League of Parkersburg maintains the house as a 19th century historic exhibit. It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
Myers said the holiday celebration is one of two main programs scheduled each year by the Junior League at the Cook House. The other is held each spring, when the Cook House is open to fourth-graders from throughout Wood County who take field trips to tour the home.
"I know when I was in fourth grade, I got to come to the Cook House and take the tour," Myers said, adding private groups can arrange tours through the Junior League.

VALDOSTA, Ga. – No. 14 Valdosta State intercepted three passes in the red zone as the Blazers defeated Newberry 24-17 in non-conference football action at Bazemore-Hyder Stadium Thursday evening.
Ryan Smith tallied two of the interceptions, both in the first half, as he picked off a Bryan Ehrlich pass on the VSU 9 on the second Wolf drive of the game before claiming a jump ball on a tipped pass on the Blazer 16 in the second quarter. Fellow linebacker Chris Pope sealed the victory with an interception on the Valdosta State 4 with less than a minute to play in the game.
The Blazer offense struggled for much of the game as Valdosta State (2-0) managed just 183 yards of total offense in the contest. The defense and special teams picked up the offense on the night, as both units scored a touchdown.
Matt Pierce opened the scoring late in the first quarter as he scooped up an Ehrlich fumble and raced 49 yards for the score. Newberry (0-2) elected to go for it on fourth and inches from the VSU 49, but Ehlrich was unable to field the snap cleanly and saw the ball squirt behind him. Pierce, rushing off the corner, scooped up the ball on the NC 49 and raced to the end zone to put VSU up 7-0.
Special teams contributed the next touchdown as early in the second quarter, Quin Roberson fielded a punt on the Valdosta State 19, broke a tackle on the 23 and out-ran the coverage for an 81-yard touchdown return for a 14-0 Blazer lead.
Newberry closed to within 14-7 just before the halftime intermission as it marched 63 yards on 13 plays. The first seven plays of the drive were on the ground as the Wolves picked up the first 32 yards via the rush. After a third down pass brought up a fourth-and-four on the VSU 34, Newberry chose to go for it and Ehrlich completed a 27-yard pass to Max Elliott that gave NC the ball inside the Valdosta State 10. Four plays later, Ehrlich connected with Jake James from two yards out to cut the VSU lead to 14-7.
The Wolves evened the game 10 seconds into the fourth quarter as Ehrlich found Brandon Bostick from 31 yards out, only to have Valdosta State respond with a touchdown on its next drive. Austen Roberts completed all five of his passing attempts on the drive as all 70 yards came through the air. Roberson gave VSU the lead as he caught a pass down the right sideline and raced 36 yards to put VSU back in front 21-14.
Newberry added a 34 yard field goal on its next drive and forced Valdosta State to a punt on the ensuing possession, but Keith Bellamy fumbled the punt and VSU's John Belt scooped up the ball to give the Blazers the ball on the Newberry 17. Valdosta State only gained two yards on the drive, but Daniel Andersen kicked a 32 yard field goal for the final score.
The Blazers gained just 32 yards on the ground during the game and another 151 through the air while tallying just eight first downs in the contest. Meanwhile, Newberry tallied 411 total yards, including 151 rushing and 260 passing.
Roberson caught seven passes for 73 yards and a score to lead the Blazer offense while Roberts finished the contest 19-of-34 in passing. Smith added 11 tackles, including 1.5 tackles for loss, while also breaking up a pass to go along with his two interceptions. Pope led the VSU defense with 12 tackles, including 1.0 for loss.
Ehrlich was 15-of-33 through the air and also gained 27 yards on the ground for Newberry. Apollo Stretch had five tackles to lead the Wolves defensively.
Valdosta State returns to action Saturday, September 17 at 7:00 p.m. when it plays at No. 7 Albany State.

When Katia Beauchamp and Hayley Barna met as twentysomethings on their first day at Harvard Business School they had no plans to create a global beauty business. They had more pressing concerns as they had almost immediately to co-ordinate a spring holiday to Mexico for 50 of their classmates.
Organising the vacation served a purpose. It helped the women to realise they worked well together as a team, "but we didn't necessarily want to start a business together", says Ms Barna, now 29, a management consultant before going to HBS.
That all changed less than a year later, when Ms Beauchamp and Ms Barna became the co-founders of Birchbox. Each month the New York-based company sends a box filled with beauty samples to subscribers in the US, the UK, Spain and France.
From a tiny venture in 2010, Birchbox has now grown to 300,000 worldwide subscribers who receive a box for £13, €13 or $10 depending on location. One box includes four to five cosmetics samples such as mascara or hand lotion, some in larger sizes.
On the Birchbox website users can see how to incorporate the beauty products into a daily routine, as well as buy regular sizes of the samples. To date the company has secured $11.9m in venture-capital investment.
Female-led companies still lag behind their male counterparts when building a start-up, experts say. Less than 5 per cent of venture funding goes to start-ups with female chief executives, which means turning an idea into a large innovative company is more difficult.
"Women get funded by large amounts of money at a far lower rate than men do," says Janet Kraus, senior lecturer at Harvard Business School.
Part of the problem is thinking small, she says. "To scale a business it has to be a big business idea from the start and women have to describe it as a big breakthrough innovation. It's telling the story in that way that creates the access to capital. You describe [the idea] at its highest potential."
Nonetheless, there are female entrepreneur success stories emerging from business school, such as Gilt Groupe, a daily deals shopping site that also emerged from HBS. Tapping into the alumni base is key.
"It's a huge network," Ms Kraus says.
One reason for the increased visibility of female-led businesses is the support networks that female entrepreneurs are able to build, says Clifford Schorer, entrepreneur in residence at Columbia Business School in New York.
"Women in general form teams, partnerships and alliances with each other quicker than men do," he says.
In the past few years there has also been an increase in investment firms who work solely with women-led companies – such as New York-based Golden Seeds – and mentor opportunities from female-led start-ups.
The decline in the amount of capital needed for a start-up has also helped level the playing field, says Mr Schorer.
"Before the first [dotcom] bubble you had to raise $50m-$100m. Today you can launch a company for a couple of hundred thousand dollars.
"That's been a tremendous equaliser and women in particular have benefited."
Rather than starting a business in parallel to their studies, Ms Beauchamp and Ms Barna integrated their beauty business idea into their courses in their last semester.
"We would negotiate with the professors where the final project would always be about Birchbox," says Ms Beauchamp, 30, who worked in commercial real-estate investment banking before going to HBS.
One class really stood out. Harvard professor Clay Christensen's course on disruptive innovation encouraged the two founders to think of a big idea that is an industry game-changer. "One of our first insights was that the beauty industry – in terms of marketing and retail – had not experienced significant innovation for many years," says Ms Beauchamp.
"That concept ties directly [to] what we learnt about examples of successful disruption in established industries."
The two women were placed second in an HBS business-plan competition, which helped them build more confidence in the concept.
The VCs offered the co-founders money but they turned it down because the company was still in its infancy, says Ms Barna. Instead, they favoured launching a lean start-up with minimum means. Going through the process "helped crystallise our approach", Ms Beauchamp adds.
They used their student status as a way to get their foot in the door at some of the largest beauty brands. "We were able to credibly present [the concept] as a test that we were exploring while in business school to potential partners," Ms Beauchamp says.
The winter vacation of their second year turned into back-to-back appointments as the partners presented their idea to beauty companies in New York.
"We had three very intense days in walking to boardrooms with prototypes," Ms Beauchamp says. Cosmetics companies including Keihl's, Nars and Benefit signed, giving Birchbox credibility with other large beauty companies. Having a tangible box to show companies was important.
"We had to come in there with something more than just an idea."
Without waiting until there was a more concrete plan in place, they used the flexibility of their last business school semester to dive in and start the company in its test phase. Impromptu strategy sessions took place before class. "We would wake up every morning, emailing each other about how to make it work," Ms Beauchamp says.
Taking two years away from the workforce was key in helping the business grow quickly, say the classmates.
"Being on campus was a huge benefit [allowing us] to have the time to start something," Ms Beauchamp adds.
"By the time we were [graduating], we were not just an idea on paper."
Three years later they have 140 employees and Birchbox is growing quickly. However Ms Beauchamp is keen to retain the company's start-up culture as a means of spurring more innovation. One of the biggest challenges Birchbox is facing is "growing up and showing our team that we are progressing," she says.
. . .
Since Birchbox's launch at least half a dozen imitators have come on to the market but its monthly box remains one of the most affordable.
Global growth is one strategy helping the company stay ahead. Last September Birchbox acquired JolieBox, a Paris-based competitor, allowing the partners to move into the European market. Expanding worldwide "is a huge focus right now," says Ms Beauchamp.
"Many of our beauty brands are global, so it's the same thing for the customers."
They are also expanding the samples. Last year Birchbox started offering Birchbox Man, a $20 box filled with men's grooming samples and lifestyle products.
In December the company also tested a limited edition "home box" for $58 containing products such as sea salt, a spatula set and cocktail napkins for the holidays. When it comes to participating brands not all make the cut and products are tested in-house before being boxed and posted, the founders say.
So far Birchbox has been an attractive proposition for brands eager to stretch their marketing budgets. Allowing consumers to test samples is a more hands-on approach to acquiring new customers. As a marketing strategy, the company allows brands to offer sample products "rather than paying for expensive print and advertising campaigns", says Ms Beauchamp.
"It's a way [brands] can get close to consumers."

|This recipe for Grilled Salmon Packets is something I've made many times for guests.
(For Phase One Fridays I highlight Phase One recipes from the past that have been my personal favorites. I first tried this recipe for Grilled Salmon Packets with Tomatoes, Olives, Garlic, Thyme, and Saffron right after I finished my house renovations and had a brand new deck and grill, and it's something I've made for guests many times since then.)
This was the first recipe I tried when I finally got my grill out of the neighbor's garage, where it's been stored (for a worthwhile reason). I'd been anticipating trying some of the grilling recipes I've longingly saved, and as soon as I took a bite of this salmon cooked in foil with tomatoes, olives, garlic, thyme, and saffron, I knew this was a recipe I'll make over and over. Not only does it have so many flavors I love, but it was so easy that you can have it on the table in 20 minutes. And no worries if you don't have the optional saffron, I'm sure this combination will taste wonderful without it.
Grilled Salmon Packets with Tomatoes, Olives, Garlic, Thyme, and Saffron
(Makes 4 servings, but this recipe can easily be modified to make just the number of servings you need; recipe adapted slightly from Fine Cooking Grilling 2008.)
4 pieces salmon (recipe called for skin-on, but I used salmon pieces without skin)
1 cup diced tomatoes (I used cherry tomatoes)
1/4 cup diced Kalamata olives (about 20 olives)
1 T finely minced garlic
1 tsp. chopped fresh thyme leaves (other herbs could be substituted, but I would not use dried thyme)
small pinch saffron, about 15-20 threads (saffron is optional, but use it if you have some)
1/4 tsp. salt, plus more for seasoning salmon (I used sea salt)
fresh ground black pepper to taste
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
While grill heats, combine diced tomatoes, diced olives, minced garlic, chopped thyme, saffron, salt, and fresh ground black pepper, then stir in olive oil.
Tear piece of foil big enough to completely wrap the salmon with a bit extra to fold over and seal. Spray or brush foil pieces with olive oil. Place a piece of salmon in the center of each piece of foil and season with a small amount of salt and fresh ground black pepper. Spoon 1/4 of the tomato-olive mixture over each piece of salmon. Fold up sides of foil, then fold together in the center and fold over ends so each salmon piece is sealed inside the foil packet.
Put packets on grill and cook on high for 8-10 minutes. I opened one after 8 minutes and thought it was not quite done, so I turned off the grill and let the packets sit on the hot grill for 1 more minutes. Let salmon rest about 2 minutes, then fold down sides of foil and serve each piece of salmon in the foil.

Our work within the Southern Appalachians is focused on two areas: the Nantahala National Forest in eastern Tennessee and the Pisgah National Forest in western North Carolina.
Eastern Tennessee
In eastern Tennessee, we're working with the Tennessee Wild coalition to permanently protect 20,000 acres of the Southern Appalachians region as federally designated wilderness.
Western North Carolina
The mountains of western North Carolina are some of the greatest treasures in the east. We're working to protect the forests and streams in these remarkable wildlands.
Wilderness is a precious resource with many human, natural and economic benefits that we need to protect.
Each day, thousands of acres of our wild places are lost to development. You can help save America's last remaining wilderness by joining The Wilderness Society with a gift of $35 or more today!
Hear artists, activists and adventurers share what the ownership and legacy of these American wildlands means to them.

Republican lawmakers are fighting for increased religious freedom in the U.S. military. The proposed 2014 National Defense Authorization Act would expand protections from religious beliefs of service members and chaplains to also include actions and speech.
The amendment is sponsored by U.S. Rep. John Fleming, R-La., and specifies in the military spending bill that beliefs, actions and speech would be accommodated, "except in cases of military necessity."
The news comes on the heels of a Family Research Council report that includes an incident where an Air Force member allegedly was asked to remove a Bible from his desk.
The council also has created the Restore Military Religious Freedom group, which offers information on legal assistance to military members concerned about their religious liberties.
A statement on the site reads: "The history of religious expression in American military life dates back to the Revolutionary War. For over 200 years our servicemen and women have lived their faith in service to their country, often making the ultimate sacrifice. Unfortunately, in recent years, we have seen an increase in hostility to religious expression in the military."
Others have publicly called the amendment unconstitutional, including Mikey Weinstein, the founder and president of the Military Religious Freedom Foundation. Opponents also worry that the change would affect relationships among the ranks, and create more conflict.

ATHENS - At halftime of a Division II district semifinal matchup against Unioto on Friday, the Warren High boys' basketball team found itself in an unfamiliar spot - trailing.
The Warriors, who dominated the greater part of their schedule, were down 24-20 at the break, but shot 52 percent (11-for-21) in the second half to rally for a 50-39 victory.
"I think it just took us awhile to get comfortable," said Warren head coach Blane Maddox. "(Unioto) played hard and hit some huge shots. That's the kind of game you expect in the district. Hopefully we get better coming out next game and perform a little bit better from the get-go."

Warren's Evan French goes in for a layup as Unioto defender Nick Corcoran (44) watches during district semifinal boys' basketball action at the Ohio University Convocation Center Friday night. French finished with 19 points as the Warriors rallied to win 50-39.
With the win, Warren secures its spot in the district championship game against Vinton County Thursday at the Convo.
Junior Evan French paved the way for the Warriors with 19 points and seven rebounds.
"We knew it was gonna be a battle 'till the end of the game," French said. "We knew that we were gonna have to step it up in the second quarter. We had a good talk with coach and we just knew we had to take care of the ball and get better rotation, take better shots and on the defensive side get out on the shooters. I think we really executed all of our objectives pretty good in the second half."

Seniors Adam Lang and Dylan Leffingwell each added 10 for the blue and white.
The Shermans were led by Bryce Arledge's 10 and Chase Detillion's nine.
Unioto scored the first four points of the game before a 3-pointer by sophomore Michael Hall made it 4-3. A French layup and a free throw from junior Reece Patton gave Warren a 6-4 lead, but the Shermans used an 8-0 run to take a 12-6 advantage.
After a 30 second timeout by Warren, Lang hit a reverse layup but was quickly countered by Kyle Strange's basket to make it 14-8 after one quarter.
Midway through the second period, Lang scored a pair of layups to bring Warren within three and force a Unioto timeout.
While Lang performed well offensively off the bench, the 6-foot-3 senior said defense was the main key in the game.
"In practice all week we were working on defense, defense, defense," Lang said. "That really came through for us."
French tied the contest with a 3-ball out of the timeout, but Unioto's Nick Corcoran answered with a 3-ball of his own. Senior Evan Yabs then assisted Lang on a layup before Arledge nailed a trey to give the Shermans a 24-20 lead at the half.
The Warriors scored 10 of the first 12 points in the third quarter, led by six from Leffingwell, to claim a 30-26 advantage. Later in the period, with Warren up 32-30, Unioto's Zach Downs hit a triple to put the Shermans on top for the final time in the contest.
A basket by Leffingwell sparked an 8-0 run which put the Warriors up 41-33, but a foul shot and a 3-pointer by Arledge quickly cut it to a four point game.
From there, French took over, scoring Warren's next seven points, capped by a big 3-pointer from the left corner, to seal the victory.
"It was my teammates getting me open and setting good screens," French said of his 15 point second half.
"Also, just kind of seeing the floor better and keeping my head up. Just kind of taking advantage of the situations I got and not trying to force too many things."
Each team shot 42 percent from the floor in the contest, but Warren outrebounded the Shermans 23-21 and forced Unioto into 15 turnovers while committing just seven.
Unioto closed its 2012-13 campaign with a record of 15-9. The Warriors improved to 23-1 with the win, and will look to bring Warren High School its first ever boys' basketball district championship on Thursday.
"We only talk about winning each game," Maddox said. "This team is a new team. Every year is different. The only ones getting over the (district) hump is me and the coaching staff.
"I think the fans would really like to see us do it. But every team is new and they've never been to that hump. So it's just another game to them and hopefully they keep it that way."

Takeda is in the teeth of a steep patent cliff, with Prevacid bleeding share and Actos, which accounts for half of US sales, set to lose exclusivity in August. The Japanese firm hopes to overcome these headwinds via its "Transformation into a New Takeda" plan, which includes a new R&D hub in Shonan, streamlining the US sales force (by 1,400 US jobs in 2010 and another 700, announced in January) and acquisitions like last year's $13.7-billion deal for European pharma Nycomed and this year's $800-million deal for URL Pharma, while reaching beyond its heritage in metabolic, oncology (Millennium) and CNS to immunology and inflammation. And the company hopes to grow US sales of Prevacid follow-on Dexilant, Daliresp for COPD, Uloric for gout, cancer drug Velcade and antihypertensive Edarbi. Two late-stage candidates, obesity drug Contrave and DPP-4 inhibitor alogliptin, have run into FDA roadblocks.

Katrina was a blessing for some
Published: Wednesday, August 28, 2013 at 5:46 p.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, August 28, 2013 at 5:46 p.m.
For more than 30 years, I lived without even a whisper of these six letters on my lips. She appeared quietly on the scene not seeking serious consideration, but lurking in the background observing. No longer satisfied in shadows, she embraced the buttery heat with clothes plastered against her skin and crimson flushed cheeks. Her eyes told the true story.
Simultaneously dipping her toes into the sand and spreading her arms wide, she claimed her seat at the table. That initial timid nature evaporated, beckoning in a new aggressive agenda. Katrina embodied a colossal nightmare that nobody took seriously. After all, every fall, new students enroll getting that 15 minutes of face time, and then quickly disappear.
Not this mean girl. From the day she chose to take residency on the Mississippi shores, she spread her cancerous venom. Katrina only vanished after flooding us with her tears over days the length of months. Like a toilet drain, she flushed my birthplace.
Her reigning days will forever be emblazoned on our memory scrapbook page. Her blessing lies in my new promised land. Before Katrina, the Midwest was never a destination on my life roadmap. If not for her rage, I would have innocently forfeited the experience of Hoosier beauty in all its forms.

text: I was introduced to this series by a boy at my grandmother's church, whom, I though was rather annoying when I first met him. Well, I've grown to respect him a little more since he set me up, reading this book. I, personally didn't like it at first because it simply went too slow. But after the main character enters a different world, known as 'The Realm', it got interesting. Most people who would hear about this book would think that it sounds childish but it is action-packed with battles and mysteries . You just can't put it down. The next two books are just as good. Only, they have a bit more mystery in them. Things are confusing and people are deceitful. I honestly think that most people would enjoy them. ~Lady Gwenne

Accelerated Dragons$19.95Many players are attracted to the Dragon Sicilian, but are put off by the fierce mating attacks that White can launch.

The authors show that White's main reply, the Maroczy Bind, is not so fearsome as was once thought Black has many ways to break out, while quite often it is possible to manoeuvre around White's 'binding pawns' and show that they imprison White's pieces as much as they do Black's.

Merck cooperates with Symphogen
07.09.2012 - German Merck KGaA enters a license deal worth up to €495m with Danish Symphogen to receive exclusive rights to a Phase II cancer drug
Symphogen's Sym004 is a recombinant IgG1 antibody product consisting of two antibodies targeting the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR). It is currently being evaluated in a Phase I/II trial for the treatment of patients with advanced KRAS wild-type metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) as a second-line treatment. In addition, a single-arm, open-label Phase II trial is on-going in patients with squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck (SCCHN) who have failed anti-EGFR-based therapy.
Under the terms of the agreement, Merck will pay Symphogen €20m upfront. The Danish antibody specialist is also eligible to receive up to €225m for clinical development and regulatory milestones, €250m in potential combined sales performance milestones as well as royalties on net worldwide sales. In exchange, Merck will gain exclusive worldwide rights to develop and commercialise Sym004.
Sym004 is designed to block ligand binding, receptor activation and downstream signalling. The antibodies are also thought to elicit removal of the EGFR receptors from the cancer cell surface by inducing EGFR internalisation and degradation. Merck says it sees the program as a natural extension of its Erbitux franchise.
The German pharma giant has come under pressure lately, as important R&D projects, like the oral MS treatment Cladribine, failed. In the wake of the setbacks, it decided to start a major restructuring programme. Merck decided to close down its Merck Serono headquarter in Geneva and lately announced to lay off 1,100 employees in Germany.http://www.european-biotechnology-news.com/news/news/2012-03/merck-cooperates-with-symphogen.html

I am trying to have a tool change at the start of each layer only if a layer parameter is set to yes.
Here are the lines I added:
in [LayerParameter]
LayerParameter fixed $T Tool_Change? Yes No
LayerParameter free $t 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
in [Code]
{<NewLine>t$t m6
<NewLine>g43 h$t}
{<if:$l=Yes><UpdateLayer><NewLine><NewLine>(Layer: $_)
My problem seems to be that once the <if:> statement runs, the variable is stuck on the value it had when first checked. All subsequent layers are stuck with that value. Other layer parameters that I have added seem to change by layer as long as I don't use them in an <if:>.
Any ideas on what I am missing?

Tottenham Hotspur Message Board
How many points from the next games...?
I can see the Woolwich bunch getting 10 points from their remaining games. Today is a bit iffy for them so could limit that.
Based on yesterday, we seemed to lack that desire and fight and again imagination going forward - but I can still us getting between 7 and 10 points from our final fixtures.
I really hoped that we'd push on from the Citeh result and put the pressure on.
At least we seem to have Lemmon back - but have we now lost Dembele in the process?
I heard that Urd are chasing Chelsea's points total - so at least there is some incentive for them to win today - they need a full set of wins to break the 95 point barrier. I don't see a Fergie team 'giving up' either. A zero pointer for Woolwich today would really put the cat amongst the pigeons.Sort: Newest | Oldest | Most Replied Expand all replies
we were poor again yesterday & lacked ideas going foward. seems to be a recurring theme under avb. dawson & hudd were very poor yesterday. we were gifted 2 goals. we seem to be unlucky with officials thou. wigan player who was already on a yellow should have been sent off after an hour for a dangerous high foot. nasri should have been sent off last week after 10mins against us too. its the perfect time to play utd. nothing really to play for & all week iv seen pix of their players out late at night partying. as city showed against us, how much u want it makes a big difference. we wanted it more than city last week, & arsenal want it more than utd today. so i fancy arsenal to nick it 2-1. hopefully utd will prove me wrong & be as determinded as ever. then ud expect arsenal to easily win their remaining games. chelsea should win easily by 3 today. i still think realistically we are fighting for 5th with everton who closed the gap by 2. its going to be exciting tense stuff between us & everton for 5th! i can see it going down to the last day. just 3pts in it now. nail biting stuff! come on utd & the swans today thou!

well jlock i have supported spurs since 1948(and have the scars to prove it....lol).....this seems to be a recurring theme thro' the years....they falter in the home stretch....to say it is frustrating is an understatement....the gunners were 10 points behind us and we blew it....we can still hope.....but!!

I don't remember it as that though Derek, as for most of the time that I've followed Spurs (mid 60's), we've been a mediocre top half'ish league team - with the odd glimpse of what we should have been capable of. Especially given some of the glorious players that we've had on our books.
I don't recall much these days anyway, but I don't remember it being like the past few seasons - especially on the goalscoring front. Maybe it's an illusion, but it seems to me that we tend to score quite freely in the opening half of the season, and then trail off. Maybe not so much this season though as to me we seemed 'off' from the 'off'. All but as if teams suss out how we play and just cancel us out.
But the Woolwich bunch have given us a chance again. All we can do is get the wins - 3pts shouldn't be a problem against Southampton. Although I can also see Woolwich getting the points at QPR and us then going into the Chavs game needing the 3 points still to overhaul them.
But while the points are still there to be had, any one can slip up. Like the Woolwich game yesterday. I thought, by the way they started, that they had it in the bag. But then they fail to capitalise and Utd come back into it and could have won.

IGNITION KEY DIFFICULT OR UNABLE TO BE TURNED OR REMOVED – KEY-IN-IGNITION WARNING CHIME SOUNDING WITH KEY REMOVED Some 2000-2005 Focus vehicles may exhibit ignition key related issues including difficulty or an inability to turn the key, an inability to remove the key, or (2005 only) the key-in-ignition warning chime continuing to sound even when the key is removed. ACTION Based on the vehicle's symptom, refer to the appropriate Service Procedure. SERVICE PROCEDURE UNABLE TO REMOVE IGNITION KEY 1. Check if the inability to remove the key is the result of normal operation of the key removal inhibit circuit: In automatic transmission equipped vehicles, the key removal inhibit solenoid (within the ignition switch assembly) is energized when the gear selector is moved out of the park position, and prevents the ignition key from being removed. If the gear selector is in any position other than park when the key is rotated or turned off, the key removal inhibit circuit will not release the key (key cannot be removed). To remove the key, the gear selector must first be placed in the park position, then the ignition must be cycled to run and back to lock. This is normal, do not replace the ignition lock cylinder if it is operating as described. 2. Refer to Workshop Manual, Section 307-05 and follow diagnostics for the "shift interlock system". The shift interlock system includes the key removal inhibit circuit, which may be causing the concern. If the shift interlock system is operating correctly, replace the ignition lock cylinder. Refer to Workshop Manual, Section 501-14, "Ignition Lock Cylinder Functional" removal and installation procedure. DIFFICULT OR UNABLE TO TURN IGNITION KEY

Police said they arrested a man in connection with a kidnapping and robbery Monday.
Green Township police and the Hamilton County Sheriff's office said they arrested Jeffrey Darling, 21, of Cincinnati Tuesday.
Officers said he kidnapped an 18-year-old woman at a car wash Monday in Westwood. He forced his way into the woman's car and implied he had a gun. Police said he forced the victim to drive to an ATM and withdraw cash. He then made her drive to a residential neighborhood where he got out of the car and ran away.
Police said Darling was charged with aggravated robbery and kidnapping, both felonies.
Darling was arraigned Wednesday morning and ordered held on $50,000.

In the past few years, the number of venture capital firms has shrunk, not grown, and those new firms that have gotten off the ground have tended to be small boutiques focused on seed investing.
What then to make of San Francisco's Next World Capital, which came onto the scene four years ago with $200 million to invest in growth-stage companies? Judging from the deals it's landed -- which include Salesforce.com-backed Zuora and Virtual Instruments, run by ex-Symantec CEO John Thompson -- the firm has found a niche.
In our latest Elevator Pitch, Next World co-founder Craig Hanson talked about how his outfit, which is affiliated with a large European investment firm of the same name, can play with older, bigger growth-stage investors.
Q: How'd you get into this racket?
A: I was a tech entrepreneur prior to getting into venture capital 12 years ago; that remains a valuable experience, as well as a foundation to empathize with entrepreneurs on the difficulty of building a company. Before that, I worked in investment banking and investing in New York.
Even my first job as a busboy in a family-owned Mexican restaurant taught me hard work and humility, which hopefully continues to this day.
Q: What do you like about VC?
A: The most exciting and gratifying part is helping management teams build great companies. Next World Capital invests at the expansion stage -- the beginning of the hockey stick growth. There's still a lot of heavy lifting to do at that point. This requires an in-depth understanding of the product, technology, market and team. But you're also beginning to see signs of how the model is working.
Is the sales organization productive? Are we attracting customers efficiently? Have we positioned ourselves in the competitive sweet spot? These are some of the key questions during that rapid sales, marketing and product-iteration ramp where we roll up our sleeves.
Q: What kinds of pitches are you looking for now?
A: We're looking for companies positioned to be leaders in their market segment. These are either pioneers creating a new field or disrupters building a new product so fundamentally better than what exists today that it transforms a big, existing market.
Q: What's the biggest mistake entrepreneurs make?
A: Believing their own PowerPoint. It's the "confirmation bias" of how we selectively interpret data in ways that reinforce our preconceived notion of what we expect or want to find. A lot of early companies start with what they think customers want and then layer on their opinion of how much better they are than the competition and how fast people are going to buy their product.
Instead, get out and partner with your early adopters. See what problems they have. Take a critical, sober view of where your product falls short and how fast the big incumbents can catch up. Most likely, the business plan will change materially from your first idea.
The first couple of financing rounds should be opportunities for great teams to really listen, learn and adapt. Then you're ready for rapid growth.
Q: What's the next big thing going to be?
A: The pace of innovation right now is amazing. We're following a few of the tremendous waves that are transforming how people and businesses use technology, such as mobile, software-as-a-service, ever-expanding use of subscription-based models and big data analytics.
Q: Are valuations for expansion-stage deals as superheated right now as they seem to be in a lot of early-stage investing?
A: Some are. It's usually correlated with the size of the round. Current valuations are high across all stages relative to historical norms -- in some cases, even double what they were four years ago after the financial crisis.
Some of this is driven by the vibrancy of current IPO and M&A markets. Some is driven by easier private capital availability, particularly from some nontraditional investors. And some is frankly driven by a pace of technology innovation that is accelerating faster than we've seen before.
For instance, BI Intelligence forecasts that the number of smartphones as a percentage of global population will increase from 1 percent in 2006 to an astonishing 22 percent by the end of 2013. We've also seen huge disruption in the enterprise space, with companies like Workday, Splunk and Salesforce.com becoming new category leaders.
Q: How does a firm like yours compete for expansion-stage deals with billion-dollar funds like, say, New Enterprise Associates?
A: It's a fair question, but focusing on other VCs is the wrong target. NWC focuses on building the best venture capital model to help our companies. As a result, since we founded the firm four years ago, we've grown faster and stronger than we'd imagined.
Our global platform and expertise in helping U.S. companies expand abroad gave us a big competitive advantage in adding value. The biggest reason, though, is we focused on the honest, hard work of a rigorous understanding of markets and how to grow leadership companies. Maybe those lessons from my busboy days are still proving valuable.

Bitsleuths Start Hunt for Mt. Gox's Missing Bitcoins
As any caper-film fan can attest, the cops use marked bills to sniff out criminals. Cyber sleuths are trying similar tactics to figure out what happened to Mt. Gox's missing bitcoins.
Roughly 850,000 of its own and its customers' bitcoins have vanished, according to the now-collapsed exchange, which said Friday it would file for bankruptcy protection. Mt. Gox, once the dominant bitcoin trading venue, didn't explain how the bitcoins disappeared. The popular explanation seems to be a theft by malicious hackers.
But one consequence of bitcoin's digital design is that the money trail is out in the open: Bitcoin's global ledger carries details of each transaction since the earliest days of the virtual currency. It's possible to go back in time and (painstakingly) trace the virtual addresses through which each bitcoin moved.
Can the missing Mt. Gox money be found this way?
Part of the trick is identifying which bitcoin addresses belong to Mt. Gox.
Two bitsleuths at letstalkbitcoin.com, Adam B. Levine and Napoleon Cole, have picked up the trail in 2011, when Mt. Gox chief executive Mark Karpeles apparently moved a large sum of bitcoins from one address to another in a public attempt to demonstrate that Mt. Gox had a lot.
Another source of addresses is Mt. Gox customers themselves: People who deposit bitcoins with the exchange would know the address to which they sent coins; likewise, customers who were able to withdraw from Mt. Gox would be able to see where coins came from. Friday, bitcoiners were swapping addresses in forums like online comment shop Reddit.
(Mt. Gox itself, of course, could make a full public disclosure of the addresses it used, but it so far it hasn't done so.)
The trickiest part will be finding addresses that account for large sums at Mt. Gox. The exchange is believed to have used a so-called "hot wallet" for day-to-day transactions, an account that's kept separate from a "cold wallet" used as a sort of savings account.
The bulk of customer withdrawals "may be linked only to recent deposits by other clients (that is, going through a relatively small hot wallet)," says Oleg Andreev, a Paris-based software developer and bitcoin enthusiast. But, he says, given enough data, sleuths might be able to reveal a Mt. Gox address holding a large number of bitcoins—if, for instance, Mt. Gox had to dip into a cold wallet to make a transfer.
Still, the crowdsourcing effort faces plenty of challenges. Given the legal and regulatory haze surrounding bitcoin, customers might be reluctant to divulge their addresses.
And, notes Mr. Andreev, the customers most angry at Mt. Gox—the ones who put cash in and never got bitcoins out—wouldn't have any source addresses to link to.
"If you deposited dollars to purchase some coins but never withdrew any, then you have no info to contribute," Mr. Andreev said.

At NJ Fire Dept., Veterans Go to Head of Line
(NEWSER) – Unemployment is a big problem for veterans, so New Jersey's North Hudson Fire Department is doing what it can to help: The department has hired 43 veterans this year, and the fire chief says he plans to hire 10 to 20 more in the near future. The vets who are now firefighters tell NPR that the job is a great fit: They love being able to put their "adrenaline junkie" genes to use in the name of public service, and say that the support they find among their fellow firefighters is key.

Honda To Build Transmission Plant in Georgia As Part of $270 Million North American Powertrain Strategy
-- Investment Includes Expansion at Existing Plants in Ohio and Alabama --
ATLANTA, U.S.A., November 9, 2004 - Honda today announced plans to build a US$ 100 million plant in the city of Tallapoosa, Ga., 40 miles west of Atlanta, to produce automatic transmissions as part of a broader North American Powertrain Strategy. The plan also includes significant investments to add production of high precision gears at a Honda transmission plant in Ohio, and key engine components at a Honda engine facility in Alabama. In all, Honda will invest US$ 270 million and create 600 jobs across three states.
"This powertrain strategy represents the continuation of Honda's 25-year commitment to localize our operations close to the customer here in the U.S., and creates a new level of autonomy for Honda's powertrain production in America," said Koichi Kondo, president of American Honda Motor Co., Inc., and chief operating officer of Honda's North America Region operations. "Importantly, the growing experience of Honda associates in America is what enables us to take this next step in powertrain production."
In Georgia, Honda will invest US$ 100 million to construct its 13th major plant in North America, a new 250,000 square foot plant that will begin assembly of automatic transmissions in fall 2006. At full capacity, the plant will employ 400 associates and produce 300,000 transmissions per year. Reflecting Honda's strategy to base powertrain production near vehicle production for synchronous assembly, the plant will initially support production of Honda Odyssey minivans and Pilot SUVs at Honda Manufacturing of Alabama, LLC (HMA) in Lincoln, Ala., 60 miles west of the Tallapoosa plant.
In Ohio, Honda will invest US$ 100 million and add 100 new jobs to expand Honda Transmission Mfg. of America, Inc., (HTM) in a move that will result in the transfer of the value-added production of high precision gears from Japan to Ohio. As the new Georgia plant begins production, HTM will gradually shift responsibility for transmission production for the Alabama plant to the new Georgia plant and phase-in the new responsibility for gear production. The expansion will increase HTM's capital investment to more than US$ 261 million, employment to 900 associates and plant size from the existing 361,000 square feet to 631,000 square feet.
In Alabama, HMA will invest US$ 70 million and add 100 new jobs to begin machining additional engine components at its existing engine plant operations. These components are currently supplied by Honda of America Mfg.'s Anna Engine Plant in Ohio and Honda's Mohka Plant in Japan. HMA began operations in 2001 and, today, has the capacity to produce 300,000 vehicles and V6 engines per year. HMA's total investment exceeds US$ 1 billion.
Honda currently has an annual production capacity of one million automatic transmissions in the U.S. and has assembled more than nine million transmissions in America since it began producing automatic transmissions at Honda of America Mfg.'s Anna, Ohio, Engine Plant in 1989. HTM assumed responsibility for transmission production in 1996.
Honda's first U.S. powertrain operation – the Anna Engine Plant – completed a US$ 20 million expansion in July 2003, adding a new assembly line that further increased its flexibility to produce both 4-cylinder and V6 engines. The Anna Plant now has a capacity of 1.16 million engines per year. Together, Honda's Ohio and Alabama engine plants have annual production capacity of 1.46 million automobile engines and supply all Honda and Acura vehicles produced in North America.
Honda recently celebrated the 25th anniversary of its first U.S. manufacturing plant, September 10, 2004. Collectively, these latest investments will bring to more than US$ 8.5 billion the amount Honda has invested in its North American production, R&D and marketing operations. Using domestic and globally-sourced parts, Honda now has the annual capacity to produce 1.4 million cars and light trucks in North America at five auto plants in the U.S., Canada and Mexico.
Honda began operations in the U.S. in 1959 with the establishment of American Honda Motor Co., Inc., Honda's first overseas subsidiary. Honda now employs more than 30,000 associates in North America. Honda currently has 12 manufacturing plants in North America, producing automobiles, light trucks, motorcycles, all-terrain vehicles, personal watercraft, engines, transmissions and other components. Nearly 8 of 10 Honda and Acura cars and light trucks sold in America are produced in North America as well. Many of these products are now designed and developed at one of Honda's U.S. R&D centers. Honda annually purchases more than US$ 12 billion in parts and materials from suppliers in North America.

Due to public demand, the organizer came up with five all male hurados to judge the U Got Talent competition held last May 30, 2011 at Sagunto Plaza, Sagunto, Sison, Pangasinan. Surprisingly, these five gentlemen stood up when they voiced out their comments to the respective contestants.
Our board of hurados are the following:
Mr. Noel Rodhreyl Joe Simudlan was born on the 24th day of December in the year 1969 in Angeles City Pampanga. He was raised by Mr. Sergio Simudlan and Mrs. Lilia Simudlan in Sagunto, Sison, Pangasinan and became a proud BAGO. He pursued his elementary education at Artacho Elementary School and finished his secondary education in Artacho High School. With her passion in technology, he took up Bachelor in Computer Technology at Cosmos Computer Technological Institute in Urdaneta City, Pangasinan.
Mr. Rudy Mangante is the son of Mr. Alejo Mangante and mrs. Marina Mangante. He has been a pure-blooded Bago because his ancestors were from Ilocos like Banayoyo and Pagudpod. He pursued his college education at Urdaneta City University and became a registered nurse when he took up his licensure examination way back years ago. With his passion to help his Kabarangayans, he used his education to help the people of Sagunto through health. Presently, he is the number one (1) Barangay Kagawad of Sagunto and is also the chairman of the Committee on Tribal Affairs.
Mr. Kyle Kryster Leano was given birth by Mr. Romeo G. Leano and Mrs. Myrtle Lynne S. Leano on the 15th day of February in the year 1987 at Quezon City, Philippines. He started his elementary education at the School of Saint Anthony in Novaliches, Quezon City and pursued his secondary education at Systems Plus Computer College in Mabalacat, Pampanga. In his college career, he took up BS Nursing at the Capitol Medical College in Sto. Domongo, Quezon City and now a registered nurse of the Republic of the Philippines. Presently, he is a member of the Philippine Nurses Association, volunteer nurse in Urdaneta General Hospital, and a licensed IV therapist.
Acknowledgment: Due to technical errors, the other two hurado's profile will be posted sooner. Thank you very much for your deep understanding.

Tuesday's letters: Payday lending
Published: Tuesday, March 5, 2013 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Monday, March 4, 2013 at 5:02 p.m.
To the editor: The headline in Sundays paper, Legislators Pushing for Payday Loans Again, could have been written, Lobbyists Pushing for Payday Loans Again.
There has been no clamor by the public for a return to this predatory practice that locked many low-income folks into a never-ending cycle of debt that brought many to the brink of disaster. It took years to get rid of the companies that took advantage of the down-and-out. We dont need a repeat performance.
Ten lobbyists were hired by payday interests to get legislation introduced and passed. Sen. Tom Apodaca is co-sponsoring the legislation. The 10 lobbyists include former Republican leaders who now have payday lenders as clients.
It is argued that predatory lending still exists through the Internet and that payday lenders go after delinquent borrowers through their bank accounts.
The truth is that most dont have enough income even to open a bank account because they live payday to payday.
Internet lending can be dealt with, as was Internet gambling.
If local meetings were held at which low-income folks requested a return to payday lending, I somehow missed notices of those meetings.

Raising alcoholics
To the editor: We are raising up a generation of alcoholics.
Its all you read about in the Times-News front-page news on breweries in and around Hendersonville. This place has this many different wine flavors and this many different beer flavors.
Is there a restaurant or cafe on Main that doesnt sell the devil brew? I havent eaten or shopped on Main Street for 20 or more years.
Its hard to teach your children or grandchildren the down side of alcohols long-term effects and the hazards of being intoxicated. Hendersonville is fast becoming a little Asheville.

This was a very special show for me. Besides a very well played show with excellent song selection, this show happened to occur on my 25th birthday. Although I live in California, I organized my schedule so that I could go out there for the event. Before the second set, Trey held up a trophy and said that that the group had waited 8 years to award this trophy and that he was presenting this trophy for the longest distance traveled for any singular PHISH gig (Amy's Farm 8.3.91 Palo Alto, CA -> Auburn, ME) and preceded to call "Henry from California" onstage and wished me a happy birthday! Needless to say, it was a complete surprise and and a very special moment in my life. The second set raged as you might be able to tell from the setlist. Before leaving home, I tried to think of what songs that I would want to hear on my birthday if I had the choice. It came down to two tunes, which for me encapsulate several aspects of PHISH's style of music, energy levels and humor: Run Like An Antelope and Mike's Song -> I Am Hydrogen -> Weekaparg Groove. To my great delight, they played both that night.
After "I Am Hydrogen," Trey went to the back of the stage, changed his guitar over to the wireless setup, changed from sneakers to Rollerblades, came back to the front of the stage and started into "Weekaparg Groove." When it came time for the solo, he jumped off the front of the stage and proceeded to rollerblade through the crowd while playing an extended solo. It was one of the most wild things that I have ever seen a performer do while playing. Before the encore, he apologized for bowling over a woman near the back of the Rink. Definitely a moment in PHISH history!

John Travolta saves lives
John Travolta is currently promoting a movie called The Forger. He was in New York yesterday promoting the film on Good Morning America and Letterman. During the interview with GMA, he was asked about HBO's Going Clear. I've embedded the video below. John is asked to explain why his Church is such a target, why people are so critical of it. Full Story
Xenu speaks through John Travolta
Tom Cruise and John Travolta are the two most high profile members of the Church of Scientology. With a major summer blockbuster on the way, and after a decade of ridicule and speculation about the blurring between his love life and his religion, Tom's not going to be the one playing defence against HBO's Going Clear.

John Travolta: Oscar Everything

I just want you to imagine the Oscars last night - that long ass show and NPH's lame ass jokes, and f-cking Adam Levine's cruelly intolerable voice, and everything that took forever but went nowhere – without John Travolta. Imagine the Oscars without that collar chain around his neck. Full Story
A "timely intervention"
After screening at Sundance, HBO has released the first trailer for Going Clear, the documentary about Scientology. There are no faces. Just voices. And reviews from major media outlets. And images of… machinery. Machines for minds. Machines for brainwashing? And words like the ones in the title. Full Story

Is it off-centre?
Gustavo Caballero/ FREDERIC J. BROWN/ JEWEL SAMAD/ Aaron Davidson/ Getty
