Skip to comments.Does the active duty and Air National Guard/reserve screen officers for mental defect?
Posted on 12/21/2011 3:28:19 PM PST by Racehorse
I was just getting my hair cut at the Lackland AFB (now something called a joint base) when this guy in a leather flight jacket . . . probably from the National Guard or the Air Force reserves next door . . . challenges his femsle barber . . . "Do you smoke?"
This pissy officer explains, barbers smoke and he can't stand the smell of tobacco smoke on their breath as they cut his hair.
But, he can smell and enjoy the scent of JP-4.
This flying officer needs to be identified and removed from flying status . . . or removed from training and discharged.
You're kidding me, right?
Msybe a waste of bandwitdh, I agree.
First time I've seen anything from a block of retired (Reserve or Regular) officers was an admonish to back off, be less threatening, and be more civil.
Because . . . "just brings out your immaturity."
Okay, I don't know you, never served with you, never served under any doctrine you authored.
I have no idea who you are and whast gives your screen nsme the pretense the leeway to advocate anything.
"Id rather smell JP-4 than the stench of a cigarette on someones breath six inches from my face."
You are definitely NOT part of The Greatest Generation. You wouldn't have survived the war because of the smell of the butts.
Garlic is what turns me off.
Kimchi sucks too, especially when it's combined with the morning after stench of heavy boozing. I can hack it, I just have my druthers, and no, I'm not 80 years old.
Why of course they do...its called a "Signature Block".
If that's what you think, you obviously never served a day in uniform. Zippers are notorious for being dicks...also, some of the most fun folks to hang around with.
And far from "condoning" it, I say it is what it is.
And you, sir, are quite the dick for suggesting ending someone's career for being honest.
Well, I NEVER!
I have bitten, haven't I?
Hsd I not you would not have been so obsessed with responding to my meaningless string of meaningless letters you were compelled to reply to and could not stop yourself from replying in kind.
Gotcha. Big time.
Merry Christmas.
Thsnks for playing.
The question is did you have the balls to stick up for the barber in person or did you have to bring it here because you were too gelded to do that?
I hope not. ;^)
I hope you are not serving in our military. Foolish thread & your bite is sadly all gummy.
I do believe since I am the owner of a gelded retired race horse, this dude's bean is stuck!
If you are goign to be the cranky old NCO, swear, and insult people on this thread, please change your tagline.
I'm giving you the "look" now.
Thst's rather cool.
Actuslly, thst's really cool.
Maybe I can do for you something better next month.
Hmm TE, you know my horses are way cuter. That is just an old gummy smooth mouth horse grinning like a mule. lmao!
Well, then, I don't have a clue which version of the Bible you are reading.
You come off like a loud mouthed punk rather than a retired NCO. You have sworn on the thread, which is an FR no-no.
You have insulted people, some of whom are my friends here.
And I certainly don't want any more information on your private parts or what remains of them.
And you have the audacity to claim you are representing the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
Get real, pal.
There are planes at Davis-Monahan that would take less work to fix than you need.
Straighten up and fly right. Otherwise, the Boss up there is going to give you the "look".
Didn't realize how badly the other guy's ego was damaged, until the reserves stsrted posting and a cartoon mocking me showed up.
All that help, did it help?
I'm not laughing nor mocking nor gloating.
No, you're floundering around for a thought.
Get specific.
If I've violated forum rules. Report them to the admin moderstors.
They'll deal with me . . . and you . . . sppropriately.
Your horses are just lovely and so are you m'dear. ;-)
Why is this vanity thread in News/Activism?
Excuse me? You are the rude person here. Do not ever think you can compare yourself to a person like TigersEye. His posts are way beyond your bite. Now find something to get the bean out of your "head". You lack sense. Even common horse sense! Merry Christmas to you.
After 82 posts and dozens from you, you ask this?
Kinda a desperately self-serving, question, isn't it, buddy?
Thank you, I work hard to rescue them from fools who race them to death etc. This is the most asinine thread I have seen in a long time. I think somebody has been hitting the eggnog heavy.
The admin mods are the last ones you need to be concerned with.
It's the Boss upstairs you purportedly represent, with your tagline.
I am pointing out to you, as a kindness, you need to file a different flight plan.
Yes. Got an answer?
By reading the posts to you, Racehorse I can say nobody cares about your silly thread. Spell check is your friend, maybe your only friend. You are not witty & have a great lack of manners. You should be named goatface as you insult real racehorses! Enjoy yourself, you are a laughingstock. TE doesn't write for me. But he sure posts better then you do.
How do you figure that? This is the weakest flaming I have ever seen. As for other FReepers; I don't control any of them. Some like me some don't.
lmao... Glee club huh... If I sing everyone will go deaf!
Your bean is stuck, REALLY!
We could always join his gleet club. ;^)
Glad you've joined in.
Dude get a grip... You are going to feel so sick in the am. One thing I will say, I am laughing at you so carry on.
A Chihuahua?
Good retreat.

Separate names with a comma.
Discussion in 'Pacific' started by claspada, Feb 12, 2013.
21A does it. They must get some seriously huge tax breaks to offset the shipping cost.
I doubt Alpine would ever contract brew.
No joke!!! I was lucky to bump into Alpine this weekend and all they had to take home was Nelson! Ex Hoppiness on tap was memorable!
Pretty sure their plans to expand are hindered by the punks that stole a fermenter and U-haul from them a couple weeks ago....
If I can buy Duet in my stores on a regular basis, I will officially become a full blown alcoholic.
I'm stoked. Heading down there on Friday to talk to them for the Mag... If they're willing to share any news then I'll post it... otherwise you can check it out in BA.
Duet is a session beer bro - you're good!
They would become some very long and frequent sessions of high volume though.
Duet should be in 6 pack 12oz cans. Would be heaven.
We sessioned on a bottle of Duet last night. Only wish it were Nelson.
Yep. I heard this straight from the horses mouth. I take this to mean they will be expanding on their own, at least a little.
If the rumor I heard is true, I am not excited for who they've chosen to contract brew with, especially because it will affect the freshness of their product shipping it back out west. There's plenty of places on the west coast they could use, especially in the Bay Area...
What is the rumor?
Spill it, what's the word on the street?
Cold Spring? they bottle in alumi-teks and have had good results brewing for 21 Amendment.
Interesting...I'm really curious how often beer will be brewed and shipped back out to California. One of the benefits of Alpine's scarcity has been that you know that what you're getting is pretty damn fresh. On one hand, working with an established contract brewer should theoretically help with some of the QC issues that Alpine has experienced on the packaging side. On the other hand, it's hard to beat a bottle of Nelson that was packaged less than 48 hours ago.
As long as I get my Hoppy Birthday cans I will be happy.
It isn't like they are going to stop brewing at the current location. If you have issues with the stuff that gets shipped back, go back to buying from the pub. No reason to panic/speculate now.
I'm just excited that this will be a money maker for them, and get them to their goal of self expansion sooner.
The loss of the brite tank (while it majorly sucks) isn't holding back the Alpine in Alpine expansion. 1st they need a new building to house the new brewhouse in. One reason the tank was stolen was it was sitting outside. No Oceans 11 type breakin to theft the tank, they just got past the fence, and loaded it into the uhaul.
So Cold Spring...well...time will tell. Can't judge the product until it's out.
No, but they may not brew the same quantity of Nelson and Duet that they currently do since they can use the capacity for other beers. Not that Willy and Mandarin Nectar are flying off the shelves, but I would hope that they use some of their current location's capacity to brew beers Bad Boy, Tuatara, Expo, and Crazy Hazel more often.
Agreed, I think there are certain risks (aside from freshness) in growing via contract brewing, but I hope that it allows them to grow their footprint without sacrificing quality, and ultimately serves as a stepping stone to their new facility.
Wonder why they didn't go with Ballast Point or some other "more local" facility. Cans are awesome, but shipping a fresh IPA from the midwest, refrigerated, is probably gonna be expensive.
Depends on if anyone has excess capacity...
I asked Pat himself and he said the loss of the tank is going to slow down the expansion.
It can't be any worse than their current bottling operations (that routinely results in diacetyl-laden beers). Who knows if a third party brewer can replicate the magic, but I'll give it a chance before I knock it, as about the only thing I don't love about Alpine is their bottled product (on draft, filled growlers, the actual bbq and pub, are all superb).
While I don't doubt it....they still have to build the new building...
Maybe they planned to add it to the existing location somewhere. Time for the SD Beer Mafia to shut down the beauty parlor next door to expand brewing operations.
That's news to me. Most of the canned 21A beers I've had have been awful.
Yeah I can't comment on the actual building. He thinks some guys doing construction nearby may have taken off with the tank and sold it for scrap. Who knows...
Their IPA was good when they brewed it in SF.
2013: Alpine contract brews in CO
2014: Beer Advocate users and craft brewery owners are suddenly ok with contract brewing
I once bought Nelson bottles at the Laguna Whole Foods. Btw, hope you live in Laguna if you're buying beers there - seems like recent "demand" has them limiting me to one bottle of Pliny per visit
For Minnesota
Thankfully he doesn't live too close to laguna, all this town needs is another shelf whale killer.
We met recently and he's a pretty big guy, so disregard that prior message.
Prolly won't taste like Alpine beer. Maybe they will manage to carbonate their IPAs more consistently tho. Could be a good thing.
In my opinion, having someone contract brew for you 2000 miles away from Alpine seems to take most of the "craft" element out of the brewery. When none of the components of the beer ever touch your local brewery (hops, water, malt, yeast, packaging materials, etc.), it is difficult to maintain an argument that your beer is somehow handcrafted by Alpine.
Why? A competent brewer should be able to take the recipe and make something of similar quality, provided they control the inputs correctly (which, presumably, Pat has taken care of).
At some point, it has to do more with good computer programmers vs competent brewers. Someone will plug in the variables to a computerized brew system and make an Alpine beer in Minnesota. A computerized canning machine will fill the cans. A distributor will pick up the packaged beer and deliver it to the midwest. It will never see Alpine, CA. I fail to see any part of "craft" in that process.

Charter school funding
Dear Editor:
Here are some issues to consider about Mississippi charter school funding.
In both the senate and house bills, each charter school would be considered a separate school district? Would that not create more school districts at a time when the legislature says there should be fewer?
Also, charter bills would create a board at the state level to approve and regulate local charter schools. Would this not create another regulatory agency?
Both state and federal budget allocations to districts are based on mandated programs that charter schools typically either do not include, or include in a very limited manner. Some examples of mandated programs include: alternative schools, bus transportation, gifted, vocational, and special education as well as drop out prevention programs. Additionally, districts must pay state retirement and insurance benefits. If a charter school (district) does not offer state or federally mandated programs, it should not receive funds intended for those programs.

Some points on Steam Greenlight. It is discussed that this system will change in the future, as its currently creating a bottle-neck for Valve. But details on how it will change or what approach they will take in the future remains to be seen.
Demographically speaking, Steam gives you as the developer access to more gamers than you could dream of reaching on any other platform. The average "Top 50" Greenlight project has over 38,000 people vote that "Yes, I would buy this". For titles that are actually greenlit, that number is much higher. You do the math on that, even if only half of these potential buyers actually buy- suddenly you've sold 20,000+ copies of your $10 game. Obviously the nature of the beast though is that you need these thousands and thousands of gamers to approve your game on Steam for it to even be Greenlit. Which means your game and pitch are quite good.
At the very least though, Greenlight provides something to developers they've never had: Access to thousands of gamers who will instantly tell you if your game concept or technology prototype is even worth buying. You can use the platform to not only get exposure for your project, but you can also quickly find out if gamers even find your project interesting. You will find their feedback is QUITE honest. But at least you will not have to worry about your mom sugar-coating. You can find out if your concept is solid 2 months into the dev cycle verses working for a year on a game that you come to find out has zero interest to most gamers.

We have a thread on the user side called "I am grateful" where many of us have posted daily for some years from our gratitude practices including prayer and affirmations. It does replace self pitying attitudes very well.
When the complaint is about a condition that is unchangable, we can perhaps alleviate some of the discomfort with gratitude for all the things around us that are just fine.
The other thing that can be changed about the unchangable things we might be complaining over and over is our acceptance.
Fibromyalgia was a great teacher of acceptance for me. Being grateful that no one was shooting at me today etc and accepting that it was my turn to walk though debilitating meaningless pain helped a lot.
Complaining is a state of hopelessness.
What ever I can do to feed my hope, or the hope of one willing to react with something other than continuing complaint, I will do.
Another good possibility is flexibility and curiosity. "Ok, I am stuck with this. How many approaches are there for dealing with it and how many can I learn to do?"
Now that my fibro has been in remission for several years, I'm speaking from my own experience when I talk about dealing with intractable pain.
My role model was a lovely man who at one point was the oldest living hemophilliac. He had no cartilage in most joints....and did not take narcotic pain killers. Yet he lived a life of service, raising money for research and visiting/entertaining sick and dying children in his decorated scooter and costumes....between bleeds..
Thanks Dr. Ron...I have always heard that squeaky wheel getting the oil, but I love that it's getting replaced these days. I agree also that we can set our tone before we ever leave the house, or better yet the bed.I have worked with chronic complainers, and it is a drag(cuse me while I comlain awhile bahahahahaha)I try to do the shift in perspective thing, and that usually works for me, cause I always have something that I can be grateful/thankful for.
I'd rather be HAPPY THAN RIGHT.
Free will gives us the choice to reprogram our brain Whining is like sneezing. The person sneezing feels better, at the expense of infecting anyone else around. As a neurosurgeon told me -why be unhappy.
It's important to have poitive attitude upon waking. Please ssee column which follows.
Saturday, November 27, 2010
For brighter day, choose to be positive By RON RUBENZER The breakfast of champions is "Rise and Shine." The unspoken motto of losers is "Rise and Whine."
You have a choice, unless someone else in your head is controlling you. Being positive at the crack of dawn is simple but not easy.
Anyone can be positive at the crack of noon. You may wake up with pains, but that doesn't mean you have to be one.
Instead of complaining that it's too early, too cold, too dark, not Friday, try to be less complaining about your circumstances, or at least neutral upon wakening.
Before your feet hit the floor, make a mental list of the things you are grateful for — more than one item. This list could include the fact that you woke up, that you weren't homeless on a park bench, that you could see, hear, feel and eventually rise.
If you do happen to get up on the wrong side of the bed, keep your negativity to yourself. Negative attitudes are very contagious and people don't like to catch them.
When tempted to whine, just remember the Swiss proverb: "Speech is silver; silence is golden."
Dr. Karl Menninger, one of the most important figures in mental health, stated that "attitudes are more important than facts."
Perhaps that's overstated, but attitude is the only thing in life you have complete control over. In fact, the only thing you can control about your past is your attitude about it.
So, if you want to help rather than hurt the people around you, choose to be positive.
Seasons change and so can you. And optimism is a more productive, intelligent way to think. So skeptics, fake it until you make it — your positive attitude, that is. Optimism is linked to better health, relationships and all aspects of job success. In today's job market, it's good to remember that the "squeaky wheel" gets replaced!

After thinking about this over night, I've not been able to find any Good reason for complaining, though most all of us do it.
It is true that it may spur some on to do what they might not have, but I still don't see how getting to the point of being spurred on by complaining is..... needed.
Yes, unfortunately I've been known to complain.... now that I've given it some thought.... I will be even more diligent at avoiding it. :)))))
Sometimes it is our turn to need help and others it is our turn to give help.
Needing help supplies the need of those who want to help...and around it goes like the Tao symbol but without the color..
I'm reminded of the song God Hears A Cry, as a lullaby, a mother's tears as loving prayer.
Giving ourselves permission to cry, may allow others to experience/practice compassion and learn, or offer comfort?
I would like to aspire to my authentic self; sometimes strong, sometimes weak, sometimes teaching/giving, sometimes listening, learning & receiving.
I would like to trust that it is safe to allow vulnerabilities. But I guess that is where discernment/listening/learning comes first; knowing when & with whom it is safe?
At 89, my dear friend Bea has a lot of physical discomforts, losses to deal with, and nagging desire to accomplish more than she does.
I have found she is very unusually willing to be refocused on that gratitude, prayer, humor and beauty for others, for life that replaces discontent with a feeling of connection to the Sacred.
If she couldn't complain about the cold or fear that she feels, how could I help her?
Complaining is one of the first things that a new born learns is rewarding.
Rethinking it is a constant component of emotional maturity. IMO
Good Morning Fellow Omers,
I have a different take on complaining. Constant complaining and doing nothing about it - is such a waste of time and as most said here either a bragging and looking for praise as to how much we go through or having no gratitude about what we do have.
However, I use my complaining as a process. If we really hear ourselves, and pay attention to what we are saying and what commitment is behind it - it can become a process. We can use everything to see where we are not loving and accepting.
To complain just to complain goes no where. To complain and use it as a process is a wonderful way of pealing the layers of where we aren't loving and giving ourselves the opportunity to start loving a part of ourselves that we weren't before.
Just a thought.
Much love, joy, blessings, and lots of laughing,
Good article ! I suspect I complain more than I think I do so will pay attention to what and why I complain about because my life is so full and wonderful that it amazes me that I have anything to complain about.This article makes my think about what to do about my complaints.
Complaining can be a curious form of disappointed optimism that presents us with an exterior of negativity, but actually covers naive idealism.
acceptance and optimism can be a form of pathology too. seems like a healthy person has to have both potentials open in dynamic balance.
Complaining iS not BEinG PrEsent.
It's Usually Living iN the PaSt...
In order to stay in the PresEnt MOMEnT, we have to Let the PasT Go..
Easier said thaN DONE I KnoW, but imperative, if We aRE to LivE in the MOment..
YeSterday is GonE, TODAY is AliVE AND NOW AND Tomorrow isn't HeRe YeT.
Everything is temporary,,and change is imminent.
It's OUR EGO, OUR MINDS taking OVeR..The Pain Body that WAS CreATed through OUR Actions and REaCtions from the paSt.
We have been given many ideas, many steps in which to apply that thought..
Today has enough issues, without adding yesterdays into the pile..and They are ONLY Issues if wE SEE THEM that WAY in OUR MINDs EyE.....
It's LIKE ouR MINDS Get ON this LOOP to LOOP that is Retracking, and playing OvEr and OvEr Again.
MY SToRy, YouR Story, Their StoRy...ARE ALL Very Similar in ONE wAy OR another..anD OUR EGO, just attempts to TELL US TIME anD AGain, that OURS is BiGGer, GreAtor.
A problem or Dilema is a Way For the World to TELL us to Slow Down and Breathe..Come to the PReSent and our answers wiLL Come. We gEt OUR anSwers daily, but WE Don't Listen, For me it's due to lack of confidence, which IS just MY Ego, crying out for attention... I GET ansWers, but my Lack of confidence keeps ME STUCK..
I believe being mindful of our thoughts and what we CHOOSE to think About, CAN HAve a Direct Reflection upon HOW our Day GoEs.
I remember when I was a young wife and mom complaining to Grandma about having to wash so many dishes. She said I should be grateful for dirty dishes because that meant we had food. That stuck with me...coming to the Sandhills in a covered wagon as a child I'm sure her family worried about enough food.
I've since learned that gratitude is a good remedy for almost everything; especially the kind of discontent that leads to complaining.
Watching tv makes me feel unhappy and prone to complaint. I wonder if it's designed to do that, all the ads encouraging us to compare ourselves to others and creating needs in our minds. I don't usually indulge in much tv.
For some complaining is a way of bragging about what they have endured. The person who says "what you went thru is nothing compared to what I went through" is surely bragging about their own discomfort, painful, or tragic events in their life.
The popular saying is that "the squeaky wheel gets the grease" but there are some people who can not rise above complaining regardless what solutions are presented to them. For them the cup is always half empty.
Recognizing that no matter what we go through in life millions, and maybe billions, have already gone through it ahead of us, archetypical experiences, help us realize that we are not alone in our plight. We all have life's lessons to learn.
Constant complaining comes from taking things too personally and while life, in my opinion, may be highly subjective, it is not personal. Complaining comes from comparing ourselves with others and what we expect to be normal. But everything we go through; everything I've gone through, has helped me be the person I am today.

Hello all,
I have just installed my-calendar and I am very impressed with it.
For what I need I think I have to hardcode the 'upcoming events' shortcode into my widget theme as I want to use css to customise the look of each individual item of information i.e. Date, time and title.
Is there an easy way to wrap each of these items in their own class? I was having a look through 'my-calendar-output.php' but I can't quite see where I need to change the code.
Is it possible to have the list output the events for each day without repeating the date if there are multiple events on a day?
Thanks in advance

Disney stock is extremely cheap
And how to get out of that cycle
Join the NASDAQ Community today and get free, instant access to portfolios, stock ratings, real-time alerts, and more!
We estimate that the net proceeds from our issuance and sale of 7,500,000
shares of our common stock in this offering will be approximately $62.3
million, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated
offering expenses payable by us. If the underwriters exercise their option to
purchase additional shares in full, we estimate that the net proceeds from this
offering will be approximately $71.8 million.
As of March 31, 2012, we had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $25.3
million. We currently estimate that we will use the net proceeds from this
offering, together with our cash and cash equivalents, as follows:
• approximately $13 million to complete the clinical development of and
seek marketing approval in the United States and the European Union for
dalbavancin for the treatment of patients with abSSSI;
• approximately $20 million to fund commercial activities for dalbavancin
in the United States and Western Europe, if it is approved for the
treatment of patients with abSSSI;
• approximately $15 million to fund the scale up of the manufacturing of
dalbavancin in preparation for commercial launch;
• approximately $10 million to pursue the development of dalbavancin in
additional indications; and
• the remainder for working capital and other general corporate purposes,
which may include the in-licensing or acquisition of other products or
This expected use of the net proceeds from this offering and our existing cash
and cash equivalents represents our intentions based upon our current plans and
business conditions. The amounts and timing of our actual expenditures may vary
significantly depending on numerous factors, including the progress of our
development and commercialization efforts, the status of and results from
clinical trials, as well as any collaborations that we may enter into with
third parties for our product candidates, and any unforeseen cash needs. As a
result, our management will retain broad discretion over the allocation of the
net proceeds from this offering. We have no current understandings, agreements
or commitments for any material acquisitions or licenses of any products,
businesses or technologies.
Based on our planned use of the net proceeds from this offering and our
existing cash and cash equivalents, we estimate that such funds will be
sufficient to enable us to complete the clinical development of, to seek
marketing approval in the United States and the European Union for, and, if
approved for the treatment of patients with abSSSI, to commercially launch
dalbavancin in the United States and Western Europe. We have based this
estimate on assumptions that may prove to be wrong, and we could use our
available capital resources sooner than we currently expect. This estimate
assumes, among other things, that, at our sole discretion pursuant to the terms
of our agreement with Pfizer, we elect to defer for a period of up to five
years payment of the $25 million milestone that we will become obligated to pay
upon the first commercial sale of dalbavancin by delivering to Pfizer a
promissory note for such amount. Interest on the outstanding principal amount
of the promissory note will accrue at a rate of 10% per annum, compounded
Pending our use of the net proceeds from this offering, we intend to invest
the net proceeds in a variety of capital preservation investments, including
short-term, investment-grade, interest-bearing instruments and U.S. government
The biotechnology and pharmaceutical industries are characterized by rapidly
advancing technologies, intense competition and a strong emphasis on
proprietary products. While we believe that our clinical experience and
scientific knowledge provide us with competitive advantages, we face potential
competition from many different sources, including major pharmaceutical,
specialty pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies, academic institutions and
governmental agencies and public and private research institutions. Any product
candidates that we successfully develop and commercialize will compete with
existing therapies and new therapies that may become available in the future.
Many of our competitors have significantly greater financial resources and
expertise in research and development, manufacturing, preclinical testing,
conducting clinical trials, obtaining regulatory approvals and marketing
approved products than we do. Mergers and acquisitions in the pharmaceutical,
biotechnology and diagnostic industries may result in even more resources being
concentrated among a smaller number of our competitors. These competitors also
compete with us in recruiting and retaining qualified scientific and management
personnel and establishing clinical trial sites and patient registration for
clinical trials, as well as in acquiring technologies complementary to, or
necessary for, our programs. Smaller or early stage companies may also prove to
be significant competitors, particularly through collaborative arrangements
with large and established companies.
The key competitive factors affecting the success of dalbavancin, if approved,
are likely to be its efficacy, safety, convenience, price, use in out-patient
settings, the level of generic competition and the availability of
reimbursement from government and other third party payors.
Our commercial opportunity could be reduced or eliminated if our competitors
develop and commercialize products that are safer, more effective, have fewer
or less severe side effects, are more convenient or are less expensive than any
products that we may develop. Our competitors also may obtain FDA or other
regulatory approval for their products more rapidly than we may obtain approval
for ours. In addition, our ability to compete may be affected because in many
cases insurers or other third party payors seek to encourage the use of generic
products. Our industry is highly competitive and is currently dominated by
generic vancomycin, which generated sales of approximately $189 million in the
United States in 2011 and represented a majority of courses prescribed.
Additional products are expected to become available on a generic basis over
the coming years. If dalbavancin is approved, we expect that it will be priced
at a significant premium over competitive generic products.
Our potential competitors include large pharmaceutical and biotechnology
companies, and specialty pharmaceutical and generic drug companies, including
Pfizer, which markets Zyvox (linezolid) and Tygacil (tigecycline), Cubist
Pharmaceuticals, Inc., which markets Cubicin (daptomycin), Theravance, Inc.,
which markets Vibativ (telavancin), Forest Laboratories, Inc., which markets
Teflaro (ceftaroline), Sanofi-Aventis Ltd., which markets Targocid
(teicoplanin), and various producers of generic vancomycin. Further, we expect
that product candidates currently in late stage development, or that could
enter late stage clinical development in the near future, may represent
significant competition if approved. These include oritavancin (under
development by The Medicines Company for administration in a single dose with a
three-hour infusion time), tedizolid phosphate (under development by Trius
Therapeutics, Inc.), fusidic acid (under development by Cempra, Inc.),
delafloxin (under development by Rib-X Pharmaceuticals, Inc.), PTK 0796 (under
development by Paratek Pharmaceuticals, Inc.), BC-3781 (under development by
Nabriva Therapeutics AG), TP-434 (under development by Tetraphase
Pharmaceuticals, Inc.) and JNJ-Q2 (under development by Furiex Pharmaceuticals,
Inc.). Many of these companies may have significantly greater resources than we
have. If approved, we believe that dalbavancin's features, including its
convenient dosing, compliance and efficacy with respect to MRSA, will
differentiate it from existing products currently marketed for the treatment
of abSSSI.
We are a pharmaceutical company focused on the development and
commercialization of novel therapeutics for patients with infectious diseases
and acute illnesses. We are currently enrolling and dosing patients in two
global Phase 3 clinical trials with our lead product candidate, dalbavancin,
for the treatment of patients with acute bacterial skin and skin structure
infections, or abSSSI. Dalbavancin is an intravenous antibiotic product
candidate designed for once-weekly dosing, which we believe will facilitate the
treatment of patients with abSSSI in both the in-patient and out-patient
settings by reducing the length of a patient's hospital stay or avoiding
hospital admission altogether and, ultimately, lowering the overall cost of
care for these patients. We are conducting each of these Phase 3 clinical
trials pursuant to special protocol agreements, or SPAs, with the U.S. Food and
Drug Administration, or FDA, based on draft guidance issued by the FDA in 2010
for the development of drugs to treat abSSSI. We also designed these trials
based on scientific advice that we received from the European Medicines Agency,
or EMA, in December 2010 to meet the regulatory filing requirements in the
European Union. We expect to complete these Phase 3 clinical trials and have
initial, top-line data available in the beginning of 2013. If our ongoing Phase
3 clinical trials are successful, we plan to submit a New Drug Application, or
NDA, to the FDA in the first half of 2013 and a marketing authorization
application, or MAA, to the EMA in the second half of 2013. If approved, we
intend to directly commercialize dalbavancin in the United States and Western
Europe with a targeted hospital sales force and to utilize a variety of types
of collaboration arrangements for commercialization in other markets.
We believe that dalbavancin offers a number of potential advantages compared to
currently available treatments for abSSSI, including a strong safety and
tolerability profile, broad coverage and activity against Gram-positive
bacteria, including resistant bacterial strains, suitability in a wide range of
patients due to limited drug-drug interaction or need for therapeutic drug
monitoring, and simpler administration that facilitates use in multiple
settings. In addition, dalbavancin's pharmacokinetic profile and its relatively
long half-life compared to many currently available treatments result in
continuous bactericidal, or bacteria killing, activity over a prolonged period
of time following treatment. We believe that these potential advantages may
provide a more rapid and effective cure for patients with abSSSI, greater
patient compliance, improved safety outcomes and, even with branded pricing at
a premium to generic products, lower overall cost of care.
We own worldwide commercial rights to dalbavancin. Our worldwide rights are
royalty free, other than in Japan, where we are obligated to pay royalties on
net sales of dalbavancin. We will also owe a single milestone payment following
the first commercial sale of dalbavancin in the United States or one of five
major European markets, which we have the right to defer for up to five years.
Our dalbavancin rights include four U.S. patents covering dalbavancin's use and
formulation. Each of these patents is scheduled to expire in 2023, and any one,
but not all, of these U.S. patents may be eligible for patent term extension.
If dalbavancin is approved by the EMA, we expect that dalbavancin will qualify
for eight years of data exclusivity and an additional two years of marketing
exclusivity in the European Union. In addition to abSSSI, we are pursuing
development of dalbavancin for additional indications, including osteomyelitis,
diabetic foot infection and pneumonia. We intend to enhance our product
pipeline through strategically in-licensing or acquiring clinical stage product
candidates or approved products for the hospital and acute care markets.

Never say die: Cubs battle back for wild walk-off win over Pirates
Never say die: Cubs battle back for wild walk-off win over Pirates
It would have been so easy for the Cubs to just chalk this one up as a loss and head home.
But this 2016 Cubs team isn't built that way.
They showed what they're made of again Monday, walking off the Pirates, 8-7, in front of 38,951 fans at Wrigley Field.
The Cubs had plenty of chances to score all game, including in extra innings as Javy Baez was thrown out at home plate to end both the 10th and 12th innings.
In the top of the 13th, the Pirates finally broke through, loading the bases with nobody out against Rob Zastryzny and scoring a run — but only one run.
In the bottom of the 13th, the Cubs got their offense going again as Dexter Fowler and Kris Bryant led the inning off with singles to put runners at the corners. Anthony Rizzo then singled through the infield to tie the game and drive home Fowler.
Ben Zobrist was intentionally walked to load the bases with nobody out, setting the stage for Miguel Montero's walk-off single to start the Cubs' homestand off on a positive note and send Zastryzny home with his first MLB victory.
It capped off a game in which almost 465 pitches were thrown and took more than five hours to complete.
"We got in late last night," Cubs manager Joe Maddon said. "I got back about 3 a.m. So these guys — they're coming off West Coast to the Central Time Zone, they're tired, we had to show up today early for a picture — that happens sometimes — and they came out and played until Midnight.
"Of course you want to win that game. That's a tough game to lose. But understand the effort that you saw tonight based on a lot of fatigue. And that's probably what I'm most proud of."
[SHOP CUBS: Get your Cubs gear right here]
The Cubs opened up a 3-0 lead on Pirates rookie starter Steven Brault early, but they could have easily had more, narrowly missing home runs in the first (Zobrist) and third innings (Jorge Soler).
The Pirates, meanwhile, came roaring back against Jake Arrieta.
First, Josh Bell hit a solo homer just over the basket in left field in the fourth inning. Then Gregory Polanco deposited a three-run shot down the left-field line in the sixth inning, two batters after it appeared the Cubs had gotten a strike-'em-out, throw-'em-out double play. Home plate umpire Tripp Gibson disagreed, calling the pitch Ball 4 to Bell and putting two runners on with nobody out instead of two outs and nobody on. Arrieta was irate, staring down the umpire and prompting a visit from Maddon, who proceeded to get in Gibson's face at the base of the mound after calming down Arrieta.
"That's an entirely different baseball game right there that occurred on that particular pitch," Maddon said. "Everything turned on that particluar pitch.
"But I'm not gonna denigrate the umpire. We had plenty of opportunities — PLENTY — to win that game in a normal fashion or earlier. We had so many great at-bats to set it up and then we could not seal the deal."
Arrieta was also saddled with a pair of runs in the seventh inning, with Travis Wood letting two inherited runners score on Josh Harrison's two-out double to make it a 6-3 Pirates lead.
The reigning NL Cy Young winner finished with a tough-luck line that flashed six earned runs in 6 1/3 innings on five hits and three walks.
Then the Cubs began their comeback.
In the eighth, Jason Heyward doubled and Willson Contreras homered to straightaway center.
With one out in the ninth, Soler sent a charge into Tony Watson's offering to tie the game with a blast to center.
That set up Montero for the storybook ending.
"The resiliency of our team is incredible," Arrieta said. "That's what you need down the stretch. ... Just a crazy ballgame all the way around."

18 months after the hurricane, Louisiana discovers the sunken dangers that lurk below
Published: Tuesday, March 6, 2007 at 3:19 p.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, March 6, 2007 at 3:21 p.m.
SHELL BEACH, La. (AP) - Under a murky, low-hanging sky, the Lacey Marie pitches to and fro on choppy Lake Borgne, using sonar to map a muddy bottom littered with rusted-out cars, boats, oil platforms, washing machines and other junk swept into the water by Hurricane Katrina 18 months ago.
The oyster boat's mission is twofold _ to identify navigational hazards just below the surface, and to produce a detailed, up-to-date map of the lake floor that could be useful in predicting what another hurricane could do to New Orleans.
Lake Borgne is actually a bay along the Gulf of Mexico, and Katrina drove its water into Lake Pontchartrain and, from there, straight through New Orleans' levees.
Along Lake Borgne, fishermen complain bitterly about torn nets and other equipment damaged by junk 10 to 12 feet below the surface. In the fishing village of Shell Beach, they are still scratching their heads about what happened to a seafood refrigerator truck that is probably in Lake Borgne. Fishermen have run across a sunken offshore oil platform, and lots of neighbors' boats and cars are missing.
Aboard the Lacey Marie, two hydrographers hired by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration have the tedious job of combing the lake foot by foot, one long pass at a time, with side-scan sonar. On this particular morning, a lap of Lake Borgne revealed little.
"Nothing to speak of. A lot of trawl scars and things like that to give us confidence checks that we're seeing the bottom," Jason Infantino, one of the hydrographers, said of the day's work.
The trawl scars _ marks left by the automatic dredges oystermen use _ are the work of people like Frank Campo, the Lacey Marie's owner, who was at the steering wheel. His family has fished this lake, abundant with oysters, shrimp and crabs, for 200 years. NOAA hired him to work with the hydrographers.
He looked bored as kept his bloodshot eyes trained on a monitor displaying the boat's position in relation to the grid it was running along. "Keep that boat between the red lines _ that's my job," he said, guffawing at how mundane the task was.
In the lexicon of hydrographers, this repetitive work is called "mowing the field": You go back and forth across the water, bouncing pulses off the bottom to get a reading of what's there.
By the end of this survey, Campo and the Lacey Marie will log more than 10,000 miles back and forth across Lake Borgne _ the distance to France and back. Hydrographers also have surveyed coastal waters in Alabama, Mississippi and western Louisiana where Hurricane Rita hit a month after Katrina, and found huge fuel tanks, cars, air-conditioners and steel pipes.
When a navigational hazard is spotted, the crew notes its location and passes the information to state officials. A contractor is then dispatched to remove the junk.
Pinpointing debris is not the only aim. An accurate picture of Lake Borgne is an important step in understanding the flood danger to New Orleans. NOAA officials say existing charts of the Louisiana coast are woefully inadequate because of the changes wrought by erosion, hurricanes and rising sea levels.
To forecast storm surge, meteorologists need to know Lake Borgne's depth and contours, because it is a 280-square-mile saltwater welcome mat to New Orleans.
Katrina passed over Lake Borgne the morning of Aug. 29, 2005, the storm's surge reaching heights of more than 20 feet. The water pushed west into canals and 630-square-mile Lake Pontchartrain, breaking levees and flooding 80 percent of New Orleans.
The last time Lake Borgne was surveyed was just after World War II, and it wasn't as thorough as this mapping project, said NOAA navigation manager Tim Osborn.
"We've never fully surveyed the bottom _ we've only done partial. This is doing a complete, 100 percent charting," Osborn said.
The survey will cost about $4.6 million for Lake Borgne. So far, there is no money to survey Lake Pontchartrain, but Osborn said NOAA would like to do so, using 21st-century technology. Lake Pontchartrain was last surveyed shortly after the Civil War by men dropping lead lines from rowboats to measure the water's depth, Osborn said.

Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

Four of us ate here last night and the experience was exceptional. Attentive professional service was provided by Sampson. Ask to be seated in his section and you'll have great service. This is actually my third visit to Kingfishers Bar and Grill. I have enjoyed the Hawaiin fish twice. Last night I switched to the scallops. They were pumpkin seed crusted and very tasty. My wife had babyback ribs and, while not exceptionally meaty, they were flavorful and a large portion. Her avocado soup appetizer was delicious as was my clam chowder, This is a fine dining restaurant and not cheap. But for a special dinner in seafood-starved Tucson it cannot be beaten.

The EF-S 18-200mm F3.5-5.6 IS is a lens which many Canon users have been waiting for with great anticipation, as an ideal 'all-in-one' lens for travel and 'walkaround' use. In the flesh it behaves much as we'd expect from such an ambitious design, as an 11x zoom range will always necessitate some fairly major optical compromises. Wideangle performance is distinctly mediocre due to a combination of barrel distortion, chromatic aberration, and softness at wide apertures; and while the lens is respectably sharp at longer focal lengths, this is tempered by pincushion distortion around 50mm and chromatic aberration at 200mm.

By U.S. ArmyFebruary 23, 2009
SCHWEINFURT, Germany Aca,!" A special visitor carried a special message from Washington to Schweinfurt Feb. 12.
Lawrence N. Self, director of the Office of Equal Opportunity and Diversity Management for the National Institutes of Health, offered managers and supervisors in the USAG Schweinfurt a lesson in leadership here Feb.12.
Aca,!A"EEO (Equal Employment Opportunity) is really a function of leadership,Aca,!A? Self said to the assembled leaders of the garrison. Aca,!A"If the leaders arenAca,!a,,ct involved, if they are not committed to this EEO process, then you have nothing.Aca,!A?
Self, who worked with the Army for 14 years earlier in his career, made clear that the responsibility for creating positive and effective work environments rests squarely on leadersAca,!a,,c shoulders.
Aca,!A"It has to work from the top down. ItAca,!a,,cs not one of those programs that can work from the bottom up,Aca,!A? he said.
Aca,!A"If the employee feels that they can trust their manager, if they feel that the confidence level is there, that that manager is technically proficient, and that manager will take care of them, they love coming to work,Aca,!A? said Bennie Howse, USAG Schweinfurt EEO officer.
Educating leaders and developing them to deal with employees fairly is nothing new to the government service or the Army, according to Self.
Aca,!A"EEOAca,!a,,cs been effect since, I would say, back in the 70s. And the Army has been in the forefront in this process. They truly, truly have. ThereAca,!a,,cs no doubt about that,Aca,!A? he said.
Aca,!A"At one time, that was the thought process,Aca,!A? he said, of the notion that EEO only addressed concerns of women and minorities. Aca,!A"Then it becomes almost a cultural thing.Aca,!A?
Managing and leading within the parameters of EEO laws and regulations is something Self called a Aca,!A"soft skill.Aca,!A?
Aca,!A"We have to continue to keep this in front of (leaders). This is one of those soft skills. But thatAca,!a,,cs fine,Aca,!A? Self said.
Howse, who has known Self for more than 20 years and was instrumental in bringing the guest to Schweinfurt, noted a few critical points for leaders to follow.
Aca,!A"Treating everybody fairly is key. Being consistent in decision making is crucial. Defining tasks based on that mission, and not on one of those non-merit principles,Aca,!A? such as race, ethnicity or gender, he said.

The Dongfeng 5[Wǔ] (simplified Chinese: 东风-5; traditional Chinese: 東風-5, literally "East Wind 5") or DF-5 is a three stage Chinese ICBM. It has a length of 32.6 m and a diameter of 3.35 m. It weighs in at 183,000 kilograms and it has an estimated range of 12,000 to 15,000 kilometers. The DF-5 had its first flight in 1971 and was in operational service 10 years later. One of the limitations of the missile is that it takes between 30 and 60 minutes to fuel. The DF-5 is due to be replaced by the DF-41.[6] Around 2015, the newest variant DF-5B force are believed to have received a MIRV upgrade, according to Business Insider with DF-5B: "China has the ability to deliver nuclear warheads nearly anywhere on earth (outside of South America, at least)".[7]
The DF-5 was designed under the leadership of Tu Shou'e [屠守锷] at the China Academy of Launch Technology (CALT); Li Xu'e) [李绪鄂] served as deputy chief designer. The missile was produced at the China's Factory 211 (Capital Astronautics Co. [首都航天机械公司], also known as the Capital Machine Shop [首都机械厂]).
The DF-5 was first flight tested in 1971, with final tests into the Pacific Ocean in May 1980.[8] Two silo-based missiles were put into 'trial operational deployment' in 1981.[8] It had a range of 10,000 to 12,000 km which allowed it to threaten the western portions of the United States. Beginning in 1986 the Chinese started developing the improved DF-5A,[8] with range increased to over 15,000 km and a more accurate guidance system. The DF-5A upgrade increased the throw-weight of the system from 3,000 kg to 3,200 kg.
As with the DF-4, initially the DF-5 was stored in a horizontal position in tunnels under high mountains, and are launched immediately outside the mouth of the tunnel. The missiles must be moved into the open and fueled prior to firing, an operational mode dubbed chu men fang pao (firing a cannon outdoors), with the fueling operation apparently requiring about two hours. The initial deployment of a pair of DF-5s in silos in Central China was completed in 1981. That portion of the DF-5A force that is deployed in silos could be maintained in a ready-to-fire status. In order to enhance the survivability of these missiles, China has constructed a large number of decoy silos which consist of shallow holes excavations with headworks that resemble operational silos.
According to the National Air and Space Intelligence Center, as of 1998 the deployed DF-5 force consisted of "fewer than 25" missiles. From early 1999 to 2008 the total deployed DF-5 force was generally estimated at about 20 missiles.[9]
According to a 2015 Pentagon report, Business Insider, Jane's Defence Weekly, and The Diplomat. China had begun to MIRV its DF-5s.[10][11][12][13][14]
It is believed about three to eight warheads can be placed on each MIRVed missile.[13][15][16][17] An improved version, named DF-5B, was shown to the public during the parade in Beijing celebrating 70 years since the end of World War II on September 3, 2015.[18][19] By that time, the DoD estimated China possessed 20 are DF-5 ICBMs, with 10 of them being DF-5B variants containing MIRVs. Although China has had the technology to field MIRV warheads for decades, they have only recently begun to do so, likely in response to the development of the American ballistic missile defense system.[20]
- People's Republic of China: The People's Liberation Army Second Artillery Corps is the only operator of the DF-5.

Be careful when a company you've never heard of says you owe them money -- it could be a scam. (WRDW-TV / Oct. 13, 2011)
News 12 at 6 o'clock / Thursday, Oct. 13, 2011
AUGUSTA, Ga. -- Angela Massey, a business major at Augusta State University, says she doesn't have time to read anything but textbooks.
That's why she was surprised to get a call from Treasure Coast Readers.
"I was like, 'What magazine subscription?'" she said.
Massey said a woman named "Melissa" told her she owed Treasure Coast Readers money for a magazine subscription. She says never heard of the company and never signed up for a subscription with them.
"They kept calling and threatening to send it to debt collection agency, which I didn't know they could do ... they threatened to do that and said it was going to hurt my credit."
Massey finally gave them her debit card information after worrying that somehow it would ruin her credit. She says the woman on the phone only recorded the part of a phone conversation where she agreed to pay the $39.95 a month.
Massey says she googled Treasure Coast Readers a few days later.
"The first thing that popped on Google was the fact that this company is a scam itself," she said.
News 12 checked into Treasure Coast Readers as well. The company has a revoked membership with the Better Business Bureau and an "F" rating.
Massey closed her bank account and sent five certified letters to the company, but she still worries they will continue to call her.
"They're going to harass you, they are going to keep calling," she said. "You just need to be straight forward; don't give them anything."
Here are a few things you need to know if you get a call from a company that you don't know claiming that you owe them money:
-Ask for a written statement explaining what you owe.
-Check out their rating with the Better Business Bureau.
-If they continue to call, contact the FTC or the attorney general and file a complaint.
