On Wednesday night's episode of Survivor: Philippines, Lisa Whelchel – who played the prim and proper Blair Warner on The Facts of Life – gets down and dirty in a mud-based challenge.
During a reward challenge, the newly single actress, 49, (who's become a surprisingly resilient competitor) ends up wrestling with sex therapist Denise Stapley, who is arguably the strongest woman in the entire competition.
According to CBS, Whelchel and her fellow competitors will also make Survivor history on Wednesday night's episode, when opposing tribes begin bargaining in the middle of a challenge.
For those who prefer to remember Lisa Whelchel in all her '80s glory, check out this exclusive personal backstage photo of herself with Nancy McKeon and a mullet-ed George Clooney that she's shared with PEOPLE.

Survivor: Philippines airs Wednesday nights at 8 p.m. ET on CBS.

Massive overhaul to fight crime proposed
September 15, 2013
Two Williamsport councilmen have introduced a proposal meant to strengthen neighborhoods and prevent heroin dealers from setting up base in the city....
Luey.....Love the posting signs idea!!!!
2 Agrees | 1 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
This solution might cause landlords to pay attention to whom they rent to.....Williamsport (and their new task force) could start ceasing rentals where dealers are selling their merchandise. In turn sell the property and invest the money back into the local taxpaying government and newly formed task force. Maybe to help this process along....locals could start posting signs outside of these rentals and bring awareness to everyone.

The issue---crime and drug dealers.
The solution---put up sensor lights and make the police well versed on city codes as to enforce them ????
If those "in charge" of our city don't want to deal with the real issue.....there will NEVER be any resolution. (they don't care where they go....just not Williamsport....sounds like passing the torch to me).

Your choice in life is to be a landlord, nobody on this site has said anything to you personal about that, U did. You have personally attack others, not the other way around. Get that straight! All I have done is to rearrange your words back to you; you don't likeit? Sorry, but nobody should be subjected to your abuse for wanting to help out our town of Williamsport. Regardless of what I do for a living, what my education level is,how much my education cost, or whom I'm employeed by for a living; They have nothing to do with me posting in support of trying to get the Drugs out of our town. I'm in support of trying to win the "War on Drugs"! Stay on Topic. Enjoy the rest of your day and remember; Todays the day the Lord has made, let us be happy and glad. Peace.

Andy33 u missed the point. The point was a city employee paid by tax dollars needs a vested interest in the welfare of the city. If the employee doesnt live in and cares about the city, the high crime is just job security for him. You can not expect people with investments in the city to live in the city, if we did that there would be no walmarts, lowes, tgi friday, kmart, sheetz, understand?

aretesancus "Your attempt to shift responsibility from the landlord to police and codes is misplaced and misinformed."
Well if the drug problem is because of landlords, why not throw the landlords in jail. We could board up all the real estate that they own, I never heard so many people criminalize a profession or investment like this. If landlord have so much power, the city should just start issueing handcuffs to landlords and let them arrest people.

Mim you actually have posted a valid point, city employees should have a vested interest in their community, a person living outside of williamsport would not have the same dedication to clean up the streets as a person that lives in the city and is directly affected by it. Maybe there should be a rule that city employees have to live within city limits or a 5 mile radius, that would ensure dedication to city problems along with tax dollars spent by the city to pay an employee to comeback to the city in the form of property tax, payroll taxes, shopping.

How about we lock up the drug users and instead of the drug dealers? It's simple economics. If there is no demand, there is no supply. Pretty straightforward.

MsLogue: Your attempt to shift responsibility from the landlord to police and codes is misplaced and misinformed. In fact, the opposite of what you said is true. The landlord has more power than the police or codes to rid Williamsport of problem renters/tenants and Capt. Tim Miller has explained this principle many times, including on the City's website. Lease agreements give a landlord a broad spectrum of authority to evict, to include repeat contact with the police, evidence of drug activity, and complaints from neighbors. Lycoming Housing Authority, Timberland, and Williamsport Village management have figured this out within the past decade. But it requires the owner/manager of the property to be present, diligent, and not dependent on the government to do it for you.

KAHULUI - Molokai High School's Shaniah Mollena-Lopez wasn't going to let her team lose this one.
In as dramatic a game as the Maui Interscholastic League has seen in some time in the girls ranks - at least with a title and lone state berth on the line - Mollena-Lopez poured in eight of her game-high 25 points in overtime to lead the Farmers past Seabury Hall 53-49 in front of a full Maui High gym with screaming fans on both sides of the court.
"We just had to push all the way because we really wanted this," Mollena-Lopez said. "So we just played tough 'D' and tried not to get fouls and just worked as a team."

A running bank shot by Mollena-Lopez gave the Farmers a 40-29 lead with 6 minutes, 25 seconds left in regulation and it remained that way until Seabury freshman Shayla Hoeft made a banker with 3:32 left.
Hoeft, who finished with 17 points in playing time limited by three early fouls, made two more short shots off the glass before Molokai's Tiara English sank a pair of free throws to push the lead back to 42-35 with 56 seconds to play.
Nani Wong made a long 3-pointer to bring the Spartans within four with 47 seconds to go. The Farmers then immediately turned the ball over, and Tiana Camarillo converted a baseline jumper to make it 42-40 with 32 seconds left.
After a scramble underneath the basket, Seabury Hall's Allie Rudow emerged with the ball and flipped it to Pili Hao Meyer, who made a layup with 15 seconds remaining to tie the game.
The Farmers (8-3) regrouped quickly in their third elimination game in three nights, including two in a row against Seabury.
"We didn't panic, we just pushed all the way," Mollena-Lopez said. "We just stayed with our defense and tried to make it pay off. Seabury, they're good."
In the four-minute overtime, the Spartans (7-3) controlled the tip and then had four point-blank shots all miss before English grabbed the rebound and fed Mollena-Lopez for a breakaway layup with 3:27 to go. Mollena-Lopez buried a 15-foot jumper on the next trip down the floor before Hoeft made another shot from the lane.
Mollena-Lopez's 3-pointer from the top of the key pushed the lead to five, but Rudow scored on a layup before both teams missed a pair of free throws. Seabury, the regular-season champion, tied the game for the 10th and final time when Wong banked in a 3-pointer with 1:15 remaining.
After Molokai, the tournament champion, ran 45 seconds off the clock, Lehiwa Pedro scored over Hoeft, was fouled and banked in the free throw for a 52-49 lead with 29 seconds left.
Fittingly, it was Mollena-Lopez who clinched it with a free throw with seven seconds remaining, setting off a furious celebration by the numerous Molokai fans in attendance in the crowd of about 500.
"This will only make us want to work harder for state," Mollena-Lopez said.
The final outcome left both coaches out of breath.
"In all my years of coaching that was the most fantastic game to be a part of," Molokai coach Lee DeRouin said. "It was unbelievable, Seabury never gave up, the Farmers never gave up, big shot after big shot by both teams. I'm so proud of my kids, my team, one true team made this happen. I love them. Hopefully we are battle-tested for states."
DeRouin's face lit up when Mollena-Lopez's name was mentioned.
"Awesome, simply awesome," DeRouin said. "Unreal. Big players step up in big games."
Seabury and Molokai split their six games this season.
"Man, it was - wow - I can't explain it," Spartans coach Rama Camarillo said. "Molokai, we played them five, six times and it was a battle each time. Our girls, they never quit, we competed until the end, and that'll be good toward our future."
Camarillo said he was impressed with the play of Mollena-Lopez.
"She's awesome, simply awesome, she's a tremendous player," Camarillo said.

Tell ya what, go through a life threatening car accident where both of your legs are basically shattered, heal up to the point where you can actually play hockey again (after being given a 10% chance of LIVING) and see how well conditioned you are two or three years later compared to just before the accident.

has anyone read thsi manga? its by Tite Kubo (bleach) and was written in 1999 before bleach. He stopped it at 4 volumes in favor of producing bleach and it stopped in the middle of nowhere >.< In japan it didnt get very good reviews but in america it has mostly good ones probably because is was released after bleach in the states. Was wondering if anyone else would LOVE it if the series was picked back up and continued like i would? If you havent read it go find it or read it online, Mangafox.com has it =P its a great series, even if it is just 4 volumes >.<
But I havent got around to it yet... it was stopped since it was not very popular in japan, but at least now we have Bleach. (Did you know after Zombie Powder was cancled he was going to quit, but Akira Toyrima (Cant spell it) pushed him into staying?)
is that the dragon ball author?

Sometimes in life we are granted opportunities that are beyond our expectations. Far deeper than one can imagine, exceeding any dream that we could fathom up. I have truly been blessed by my experiences in life thus far, but none could match the opportunity and the chance that Head Coach Lynn Bria has afforded me with this past year at Stetson. The people I have met, the relationships I have fostered, and the foundation I have built personally and professionally, I can honestly say, my first year as a Division I Assistant Coach has been a success.

Web Server 7.0 appears to be consuming more CPU than Web Server 6.1
By Gregory Bedigian on Feb 15, 2010
The increase in memory usage could be due to the 'auto-tuning' functionality that was introduced in Web Server 7.0U2. (But not yet documented) This feature will set some of the servers parameters based on number of CPU's, file descriptors, etc of the actual machines. It is possible to see what these are being auto-tuned to by setting the log level to finest, and restarting each server. They should see differences between the two boxes. The one best thing that can be done is run perfdump to see how much of the set resources are actually being used. Once you have those figures, you can then manually set these values in the server.xml file, which will override any auto-tuning values. Web Server 7.0 will definitely require more memory than 6.0, basically because it's architecture is very different. So in recap you would want to start by setting the log level to finest on both servers, enabling perfump and restarting them. Then gathering some perfdump data as the memory usage reaches its high levels. This should allow some thoughts for settingl initial values you might want to set these parameters to.

San Francisco, CA (Sports Network) - Matt Carlino and Tyler Haws scored 22
points each to help the BYU Cougars come back from a second half deficit to
defeat the San Francisco Dons, 80-76, in a West Coast Conference battle at
Memorial Gymnasium.
Brock Zylstra chipped in 16 points for BYU (12-4, 2-0 WCC) as it reeled off
its fourth consecutive victory. Josh Sharp pulled down a game-high 10
Cole Dickerson and Cody Doolin also finished with 22 points apiece to lead San
Francisco (8-7, 0-2), which dropped its second straight decision. Doolin
recorded a double-double by dishing out 10 assists and Dickerson was just a
rebound shy of a double-double himself.
The Dons came out firing and knocked down 9-of-13 attempts from beyond the arc
in the opening 20 minutes to build a 46-37 halftime lead. BYU stayed within
striking distance by hitting 43.8 percent of its field goal attempts in the
first half.
San Francisco was unable to keep up its deadly accuracy from 3-point range
after the break, as it went just 2-of-11 from distance and also only 4-of-8 at
the charity stripe in the second stanza. BYU converted 54.8 percent of its
shots from the floor and used a 7-0 run to go up by six points with just under
two minutes left before the final buzzer.
The Cougars outscored San Francisco, 12-3, in the second chance points to
survive their trip to Memorial Gymnasium.

Buffalo Creek Casino is a drain on downtown
Opponents to casino gambling in downtown Buffalo gathered at the Pierce-Arrow Transportation Museum on Jan. 31 to hear an update on the third lawsuit brought to demonstrate that the Seneca Buffalo Creek Casino violates federal law.
This is what I heard at the gathering: The City of Buffalo has received zero dollars from the casino since its fiscal year ending in 2010. The existing casino is an ugly metal shed that employs 66 people operating a business that pays no taxes and sucks dollars, mostly from the pockets of poor people, into 455 slot machines from which the city now gets zero return. One of the speakers observed that for middle-class people – those not prone to gambling addiction – playing the slots might be entertainment. But for the poor, playing the slots is a "financial strategy" akin to a "Hail Mary Pass" that is desperate, pathetic and almost certain to fail.
Maybe the Seneca Gaming Corp. will win the lawsuits and open a bigger, better casino at Buffalo Creek. However, the "permanent" casino now planned is a far cry from the fabulous "destination" venue originally sold to the Buffalo Common Council. Meanwhile, the Seneca Niagara Casino in Niagara Falls is paying zero dollars to that city and has brought ruin to downtown.
This is what I observed that Thursday night: The Pierce-Arrow Transportation Museum is a wonderful facility filled with beautiful vintage automobiles that make you downright proud to be from Buffalo, where these automobiles were built. The museum and projects like Canalside remind us that there is no silver bullet that is going to restore Buffalo's past grandeur and economic vitality. But lots of little projects are leading us that way, if only we don't keep shooting ourselves in the foot with projects like the Buffalo Creek Casino.

The actor, 48, who previously told reporters he had an injured ACL (a ligament in the knee that connects the femur with the tibia), tells PEOPLE he's doing just fine.
"It wasn't life or death," Pitt, who slipped down a hill while carrying 3-year-old daughter Vivienne, said at Monday's New York Film Critics Circle Awards. "It was just an old man tripping."
He said he doesn't expect a prolonged recovery, and he was able to walk the red carpet and use the stairs with minor use of his cane. It's "not too bad," said Pitt, who took home the best-actor award for his work in Moneyball and Tree of Life.
"I know how hard he works," Jolie, 36, said of her partner's honors. "And I'm very proud of him."

The last week was full of travel, friends, new experiences and a couple of realizations that I suppose weren't wholly unexpected.
I went to New York to visit my best friend, where I discovered I am not meant to live somewhere that requires me to read a subway map, which has so many lines and branches that it looks like a drawing of an overgrown tree.
But visiting my friend was wonderful; she was warm and welcoming, and I enjoyed seeing the city with her.
When I rode the train to Boston for a writing conference two days later, I stayed with friends in a beautiful house they rent in the city. The wife of the pair works in public health at Harvard, and her birthday happened to fall on Friday, so a group of us went out to celebrate.
To a college bar, a few blocks from the university.
During spring break.
If you're thinking Matt Damon and "Good Will Hunting," you're close.
Perhaps it was because I was getting a nasty cold, or perhaps it was because I was tired from too much traveling and socializing.
Or perhaps it was because I am so entirely out of the "college bar" scene, but I felt OLD.
Granted, most of the other people at the bar were probably in their 20s, but I'm only in my early 30s, so what was it that made me feel 20 years older than just about everyone else there?
I've always enjoyed sitting down for a drink with friends, laughing and talking at a long wooden bar made sticky by sloshed tequila or gin. And I don't usually mind a loud room full of music and talking.
But the Harvard bar was so full of people just exuding youth and carefree attitudes! They had no children to go home to, no budgets to monitor and they reveled in shouting over the ridiculously loud music, past plates of appetizers whose names I could barely pronounce on the menu that could barely be read in the dimly lit barroom.
I didn't have a bad time; on the contrary, being with friends that I love made the night just fine.
But I definitely felt the disconnect between going out and drinking with friends during college and going out and drinking with friends when you have little children at home and your life is a completely different game than the one most of the kids around you are living.
Needless to say, it was great to get home to my regular life, where I still have to shout to be heard, but the ridiculously loud noise is coming from my kids instead of a dusty speaker in the corner of a bar.

Daisuke Niwa is an ordinary, if slightly unlucky, middle school student. On his fourteenth birthday, he comes down with a 'condition' that has plagued the men in his family for three hundred years. When he sees his crush, Risa, he transforms into his alter ego, the phantom thief Dark. Unfortunately, when Dark sees his crush, Risa's twin Riku, he transforms back into Daisuke. The only cure for this craziness is if Daisuke can get Risa to fall in love with him and Dark can get Riku to fall in love with him. But that's going to be a problem, seeing that Riku hates Dark and Risa loves him.

NFL Draft Story Central
Philadelphia Eagles
2013 draft picks: 1st round (4), 2(35), 3(67), 4(101), 5(136), 7 (210, 212, 218, 239)
It will be a completely different team in Philadelphia, led by new head coach Chip Kelly. New coaches, new systems and lots of new players on both sides of the ball.
The Eagles have been very active during the off-season, making a few trades and adding some players on both sides of the ball. Coming over to Philly are quarterback Dennis Dixon, wide receiver Arrelious Benn, tight end James Casey, offensive tackle Ed Wang, defensive ends Conner Barwin, Emmanuel Acho and Clifton Geathers, nose tackle Isaac Sopoaga, inside linebacker Jason Phillip, safeties Kenny Phiilips and Patrick Chung and cornerbacks Cary Williams and Bradley Fletcher.
With the addition there have been some subtractions. No longer with the Eagles is cornerback Nnamdi Asomugha, running back Dion Lewis, fullback Stanley Havili, offensive tackle King Dunlap, defensive end Darryl Tapp, and defensive tackles Cullen Jenkins, Mike Patterson and Derek Landri.
What will the Eagles do in the upcoming draft? There is a lot of uncertainty as to the direction they will do at certain positions. It should be a lot of fun to watch it all unfold.
Draft Needs
1) Quarterback
Regardless of what the roster looks like today at the quarterback position with guys like Michael Vick and Dennis Dixon Kelly must find the long term pilot for his offense. Could it be a guy like Geno Smith, who they would have to check with their first pick or might they make a big gamble on a guy like E.J. Manuel later on in the draft? Maybe it's Matt Scott? QB is paramount in the NFL and to run Kelly's offense. Certainly Vick should be very serviceable but he's not the long term answer. They must find and develop a long term signal caller.
2) Offensive Tackle
The Eagles have talent at this position but the guys have been hurt. They need to get younger and more athletic. If they elect to go for this position early in the first round they should get either Luke Joeckel, Eric Fisher or Lane Johnson. Then again, Philly could address this need in the second round and later a pretty good o-tackle there. Perhaps Menelik Watson slides. They need help here and I certainly believe they address this position in the draft. Reid Fragel, Brennan Williams, and Chris Faulk are a few guys they could look to in the middle of the draft.
3) Cornerback
Two veteran corners were signed by the Eagles. They will still draft another and it could be in the first or second round. The top cornerback in the draft, Dee Milliner, should be available at their spot. He they choose to wait there's no question the Eagles could select a good one in round two or three. It's a deep year.
4) Pass Rusher(s)
The Eagles could use both a defensive end and outside linebacker pass rusher in the draft. Early on they could grab a guy like Star Lotulelei or Sharrif Floyd at end or Dion Jordan, Jarvis Jones or Barkevious Mingo at outside linebacker. It appears two or perhaps three of those guys could be off the board, depending on what Kansas City, Jacksonville and Oakland do in front of them. Kelly could draft Jordan, if available. Coaching him at Oregon gives him a great insight to this talented athlete and what he could bring to the Philly defense. If they wait until later in the draft there is some depth at both of these positions but the caliber of player dips.
5) Nose Tackle
Anytime you transition from one scheme to another there's always a gap in the talent and personnel because typically you don't have the right fits. That's exactly what has happened with the Eagles. Sure they have addressed some areas via free agency but they haven't nailed them all. They did sign nose tackle Isaac Sopoaga but Philly needs to land another in the draft.

Even though family and friends can be there to help, many people still find it hard to ask for and accept support. When you are facing the extra demands of cancer, your support network can make an enormous difference. And family and friends can feel helpless and shut out if they are not allowed to provide support.
- Offers of help
- Different ways people can help
- Getting help and support when you are alone
- Practical and financial help
- Community support
- Talk to someone who's been there
- Types of support services
Offers of help
Be aware that not everyone will be able to help in the same way. Some people will be comfortable talking about the cancer and comforting you if you are upset. However, other people may not be as good with words or strong feelings. They might prefer to support you in practical ways, such as helping with meals, transport or work around the home. Let people know what they can do to help and allow them to choose activities that match their abilities.
Different ways people can help
- Giving practical help – for example, driving to appointments, sharing an after-school roster, providing company, shopping, making meals, helping you exercise.
- Having fun, getting you out and about, not talking about your worries.
- Keeping others informed, screening calls and emails, acting as a gatekeeper or support coordinator.
- Listening without trying to solve your problems.
Getting help and support when you are alone
It's not unusual for people to find themselves alone sometimes in their lives. Having a serious illness when you feel that you have no close family or friends can be especially hard. But you don't have to tough it out by yourself. See the section below on Practical and financial help for ideas on the services that are available.
You may find that simply getting some help with practical things is all you need. For example, it might be useful to have your dog walked while you have treatment, get your lawn mowed or have your groceries or meals delivered.
Practical and financial help
A serious illness can cause practical and financial difficulties.
Many services are available to help:
- Financial or legal assistance – through benefits, pensions and programs – may help pay for prescription medicines, transport costs to medical appointments, utility bills or basic legal advice.
- Meals on Wheels, home care services, aids and appliances can be arranged to help make life easier at home.
- Subsidised travel and accommodation may be available if you need to travel long distances for treatment.
- Home nursing care may be available through community nursing services or local palliative care services.
- Centrelink, Commonwealth Carelink Centres, home help, child-care assistance.
Contact Cancer Council 13 11 20 Information and Support or your hospital social worker, occupational therapist or physiotherapist to find out which services are available in your area and if you are eligible to receive them.
Community support
Letting others share in your care allows them to feel useful and supportive. It is also worth remembering that the more supporters you have, the smaller the load on any one person. Other sources of support could include formal or informal school-based assistance, such as the school counsellor or chaplain, outside school hours care, parent groups, and church and religious groups.
Talk to someone who's been there
Coming into contact with other people who have had similar experiences to you can be beneficial. You may feel supported
and relieved to know that others understand what you are going through and that you are not alone. There are many ways for you and your family members to connect with others for mutual support and to share information.
In these support settings, people often feel they can speak openly and share tips with others. You may find that you are more comfortable talking about your diagnosis and treatment, your relationships with friends and family, and your hopes and fears for the future.
Ask your nurse, social worker or Cancer Council Helpline about suitable support groups and peer support programs in your area.
Types of support services*
- Face-to-face support groups – often held in community centres or hospitals
- Online discussion forums – where people can connect with each other at any time – see www.cancerconnections.com.au
- Telephone support groups – for certain situations or types of cancer, which trained health professionals facilitate
- Peer support programs – match you with a trained volunteer who has had a similar cancer experience, e.g. Cancer Connect.
* Not available in all areas

Expanding Use of NGS Has Largely...
As Immunotherapy Revolutionizes the Cancer Treatment...
LC-MS Gains Favor Due To the...
There is much excitement in the growth and evolution of the personalized medicine field driven in large part by the approvals of 15 companion diagnostics-therapeutics combinations primarily addressing various classes of cancer. However, the field of personalized medicine is broader than CDx-Rx per se, and the role of autologous cellular therapies targeted to the patient and the disease in question cannot be ignored.
In this context, it is important to note that immunotherapy, wherein the immune system is educated to recognize tumor antigens on self-major histocompatibility antigens (HLI class I and II), is a powerful means of potentially combating tumors.
Immunotherapy is indeed a very personalized means of addressing disease, especially cancer. Immunotherapy can be segmented into three classes: antibody therapy, traditional T-cell stimulation with antigen, and cell-based immunotherapeutics.
Cell-based immunotherapy for cancer, which is an expanding segment of the broader immunotherapy space, seeks to generate highly specific T cells targeting tumor cells using a cell-based antigenic challenge. Indeed, this field is gaining insights from bone-marrow transplantation, which is the first and best documented example of immunotherapy to combat cancer.
The Figure presents an "acceleration plot" documenting the pace of publication segments in the overall cellular therapy space, showing that personalized medicine is a growing paradigm in this space—acceleration value is in positive territory.
Adoptive T-cell therapy for cancer is a personalized therapy as it takes patient-specific cells, expands them ex vivo for 4–10 weeks, and then infuses them back into the patient. Cost for this cell expansion ranges from $25,000–50,000 per patient using existing technologies at current scales.
Adoptive T-cell therapy has been shown to be effective in melanomas, and methodologies for improving efficacy of this treatment approach are to endow T cells with tumor reactivity, generate chimeric antigen receptors, and isolate/purify memory T cells. Currently, large Phase I/II trials are ongoing using these approaches addressing CD19, CD20, and WT-1 targets.
It is expected that the overall market for cancer vaccines (both prophylactic and therapeutic) could grow to $7–8 billion in the next three to five years, even though at this point only one therapeutic cancer vaccine has been approved by the U.S. FDA—this is Provenge® from Dendreon, an autologous antigen-pulsed dendritic cell-based cancer vaccine designed to stimulate the adaptive immune response in the patient to whom it is administered.
Provenge merely adds a survival advantage to hormone-refractory prostate cancer, but does not block death from the disease. Its per-patient price of $93,000 has been a deterrent for its market penetrance, but the cost of autologous ex vivo-manipulated cells is no comparison to an off-the-shelf allogeneic vaccine.
Regardless of one's perspective on the commercial success of Dendreon's launch of Provenge, the FDA's approval of this first-in-class immunotherapy has contributed to a resurging popularity of the concept of immunotherapeutic compounds. It is not the sole factor. European approval of UniQure's gene therapy Glybera—despite its arduous path to market—also boosts confidence that cell and gene therapies might finally be emerging as compounds with real commercial opportunity rather than as tantalizingly promising clinical trial loops endlessly falling just shy of market approval.
To be wrestling with the challenges of cost-of-goods, pricing, reimbursement, and market penetration is a set of problems that cell/gene-based therapies have long longed to tackle.
While the pendulum swinging in favor of immunotherapies is not restricted to cell-based approaches, it certainly does not exclude them. Both the pharmaceutical and venture capital community are actively revisiting their target pipeline with a view to revisit cell-based immunotherapies with a more favorable eye. One has to look no further than Novartis' landmark deal with University of Pennsylvania as evidence.
In August 2012, the University of Pennsylvania and Novartis announced an exclusive global research and licensing agreement to research, develop, and commercialize novel cellular immunotherapies using chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) technologies.
In exchange for at least a $20 million commitment, University of Pennsylvania granted Novartis an exclusive worldwide license to the technologies used not only in an ongoing trial of patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia but also to future CAR-based therapies developed through the collaboration.
The deal is both evidence of and a further catalyst for the pendulum swing toward immunotherapies. The deal has encouraged venture capital that such therapeutics may have a pharma exit after all and, in typical fashion, heightened the competitive curiosity of other pharma companies in evaluating immunotherapy products so as not to lose out to competition.
The pipeline of industry-sponsored cell-based immunotherapies is rich and encouragingly mature with no less than 13 late-stage trials (11 Phase III trials and two listed as Phase II/III trials). Just over half of trials are expected to complete, release data, or reach significant completion milestones within the next 12 months. All but three trials are expected to be complete by Q4 2015.
Geographically the trials are almost perfectly split between those in the U.S. (3), U.S. and Europe (3), Europe (3), and South Korea (4). All trials are pursuing oncology-related targets, although two are targeting treatment-related complications—cancer is at the forefront of personalized medicine, and immunotherapy is no exception.
While all cell-based immunotherapies belong in the same class as the autologous, dendritic cell-based Provenge, many differ in significant ways. While 70% of the industry-sponsored late-stage trials utilize autologous cells, 46% utilize allogeneic cells (one involves both), and 30% involve gene-modification. Just less than half utilize dendritic cells while the others employ other immunotherapy cell agents including NK cells, lymphocytes, and allogeneic tumor cell lines.
While space does not permit us to review each of these trials and compounds in any detail, the sponsors include Argos Therapeutics, Cell Medica, Innocell, JW Creagene, MolMed, Newlink Genetics, NK Bio, Neurovita Clinic, Northwest Biotherapeutics, NovaRx, Prima Biomed, and SOTIO. Further details can be found in a recent post on www.celltherapyblog.com.
The mid- and early-stage pipeline of industry-sponsored cell therapy trials is an equally rich, diversified portfolio of cell-based immunotherapies largely targeting a wide variety of different cancers (but also including HIV, beta thalassemia, GvHD, etc.) employing multiple different cell types, and in trials geographically dispersed around the world.
Roughly 40% (62) of the global pipeline of industry-sponsored Phase I and Phase II cell therapy trials (260) are cell-based immunotherapies. In this end of the pipeline, however, the autologous-allogeneic ratio spikes heavily in favor of autologous (~80%).

Part of the vision of East Cooper Community Outreach is to eliminate poverty in the area through education and decent jobs. Their idea is to get their clients to a point where they are self sufficient and send them out with all the tools they need so they can willingly pull themselves up. The end result helps strengthen the community.
A new partnership will help with that goal.
Goodwill Industries of Lower South Carolina and East Cooper Community Outreach partnered to bring employment services to the East Cooper Community through a new Job Link Center.
The grand opening took place Thursday at 1145 Six Mile Road.
The Job Link Center, located within ECCO's facility (directly behind the Goodwill retail store), is now open and providing services to the community. The center features computer stations that can be accessed for job searches and resume building at no cost to the community.
ECCO's executive director Jack Little said that "neighbor's to East Cooper think this is the land of milk and honey. There is an under served population here and we lag in resources to help these folks."
He said the Job Link Center will help towards turning that around.
The Center's hours are 10 a.m. – 2 p.m. Monday, Wednesday and Friday and open to everyone in the community offering career coaching, job training and other employment services.
Little said it is the only place east of the Cooper to offer assistance to those looking for work.
Goodwill and ECCO have partnered together in an effort to provide the East Cooper Community with job training and employment services that will help the unemployed and underemployed achieve financial stability and self-sufficiency.
"Our partnership was a natural fit as both ECCO and Goodwill are striving to build stronger communities," said Robert Smith, Goodwill President and CEO. "When people have economic independence, they tend to be happier, more confident and contribute more to their community."
Paul Miloni, of the Charleston Metro Chamber of Commerce applauded the partnership and the synergy, "It takes three sturdy strands to create a strong cord, (The Town of Mount Pleasant, ECCO, and Goodwill). We look at ourselves in this partnership as the fourth strand making it an even stronger cord."
Long-term employment is an essential component of financial stability and self-sufficiency. ECCO will help prepare clients by assessing and addressing any barriers currently standing in their way of employment and will continue to monitor and support the employee for a year. Goodwill will assist individuals in finding competitive employment in the community or receiving necessary training.
"The partnership with Goodwill Industries is a great opportunity to join hands and help boost our efforts to those who need it the most in our East Cooper area." said Little. "Helping the chronically unemployed transition to long term employment is the first step to helping them become self-sufficient."
Rex Atkinson, ECCO board member summed up the partnership by adding, "we need help from the community to serve the community." He encouraged business with available positions to contact ECCO for potential employee placement.
Palmetto Goodwill is a nonprofit social service organization whose mission is to help people achieve their full potential through the dignity and power of work. Over 90 percent of Goodwill's revenue goes to fund mission related services. Goodwill serves their mission by providing career counseling, job training, and other employment related programs to people with barriers to employment. Last year, Goodwill placed over 800 people into new jobs and served over 37,500. For more information about Goodwill's programs and services, please visit www.palmettogoodwill.org.
East Cooper Community Outreach (ECCO) is a community supported nonprofit, with the mission to provide safety net services to our low income neighbors, while empowering them to create a better future for themselves, their families and communities. ECCO helps more than 4,500 households each year through a range of programs related to Basic Needs, Health and Wellness, and Empowerment. Services for our neighbors in need include emergency relief for food, clothing, household furnishings and financial aid, as well as on-site dental care, nurse practitioner appointments, prescription assistance, education classes, counseling, case management and our new job readiness initiative. www.ECCOcharleston.org.

5 Things That Shouldn't Make You Mad (But Will)
There's a lot of anger in the world today for a hell of a lot of reasons. People are angry at the president, angry about big business, about the climate, about employment, and about the lack of compelling storylines in porno. And while you should be justly angry about so many things, there's an equal amount of stuff people will get pissy about for no good reason whatsoever. The kinds of things that set you off even though you can't explain why and you'll look silly if you try to justify it but, oh well, you're still pissed. Things like this stuff!
#5. Hiccups
mucahiddin/iStock/Getty Images
According to science, a hiccup is what occurs when I have no idea. What am I, an ornithologist? It's something to do with a flipped diaphragm or whatever. The point is, a hiccup is when someone goes "hyack" about 300 times in a row and you sit there and try not to murder them until it ends.
Nothing in the world has more bullshit home remedies than hiccups. You'd think people would spend more time trying to figure out if lemon and honey cures cancer, but they don't. Instead they let you know that breathing into a paper bag on your head while drinking water with a Hot Pocket in your ass will probably fix those hiccups right up. Also, it never works, so instead of just being annoyed by hiccups, you get annoyed by hiccups and the ridiculous ways people try to fix them. But the fact that there are so many ways to try to fix them speaks to just how much people hate them. They'll try 101 ridiculous things to make them go away because hiccups are the biological function equivalent of that guy who smears shit on the walls in a public restroom. They're just so awful.
timelineberlin/iStock/Getty Images
You've done good work in here, Stinky.
No one has control over hiccups, which is why it's kind of shitty to be so frustrated by them. I get hiccups and I piss myself off; it makes no sense. I assume it's the repetitiveness of it that is so off-putting, like when you're a kid in school and that little fuck who sits next to you keeps poking you because his mom drinks a lot and his dad is never there and he thinks this kind of shit is kosher and it's not like it hurts, it's just that eventually you have to stab him with your pencil so he understands his place in the natural order of things.
I like to think that on some primal level we're offended by hiccups as a lack of control. We see some hiccuping chucklefuck and think, "What a weak-willed nancy," or something very similar to that. You can't even stop your body from making cartoon spasms. You eat shit and die. Is that fair? No. But life isn't fair.
#4. Chewing
John Howard/Digital Vision/Getty Images
Is this one just me? I've tried to get over it for years, but there's nothing to be done for it. My choices are hypnotism, some kind of voodoo intervention, or living alone in the mountains, I think. I absolutely despise the sound of chewing. If another person has to eat near me and I can hear it, start a timer, because in under a minute blood will be dripping from my ears and hissing like alien blood on the ground when it lands.
I understand that my hatred of the sound of chewing is irrational, as my emotional response is on par with watching the slaughter of innocents, as though I'm being forced to endure cosmic injustice. It's just chewing. But fuck me ... I feel like we should all know how to chew at this point. I think everything on Earth masters chewing the day it is born except humans. There are single-celled organisms out there that just sort of sit on protein blobs or whatever the fuck they do and absorb those nutrients, and there's no slurpy sound, no chomping or weird fucking humming or yummy sounds that make me want to drown them in a toilet and leave them there with their pants around their ankles so that, when they're discovered, people assume something even worse than what really happened went down, as a kind of final insult.
There's obviously no good reason why this one sound enrages me so much, but there it is. I feel like it's a sign that you can't be bothered to separate yourself from a medicated ape. Like that extra bit of effort required to close your mouth is just too much, so shlappy shlompy squish squash, put more fucking pudding in my hole.
#3. Different Points of View
Fuse/Fuse/Getty Images
Let me preface this by saying that it doesn't apply to everyone, or all the time. But some people, sometimes, just cannot and will not handle even the idea that someone thinks a different thing. And while we all want to live under the belief that we're all unique and beautiful little snowflakes and special and different in every way, fuck anyone who is different and unique in a way we don't like. And this doesn't mean I like freedom and you like subjugation and prison camps for redheads. This means I think Fight Club was a good movie and you don't, so now I have to carpet bomb your house and make your parents watch as I flay you alive, you dumbass opinion-haver, you.
The Internet has likely shown you that what you think about movies, music, religion, and politics really rubs someone else the wrong way. Just mention on a liberal website that you're a Republican and wait for someone to call you a fascist or right-wing nutjob. Do the opposite and see how long it takes for someone to condemn you for your position on abortion. And this could all have started in a conversation about cookie recipes.
If you dislike the Godfather movies, someone will probably insist you're either insane or retarded at some point in time. This will hold true for any opinion that is not the popular opinion. You dislike X, or you think Y is better than X, where X is literally anything regarded favorably by a majority of people, and you will be called out. And it will be mean. It will be so fucking mean. You whole bloodline will be called to task if you allow the conversation to fester.

[Potential PhD students should apply to the Physics Department at the University of Waterloo. Students interested in pursuing studies for an MSc should apply to Perimeter's PSI program.]
My main research program is devoted to trying to develop exact techniques for solving gauge theories and string theories. The main goal is to come up with a more powerful formulation of interacting quantum gauge theories, better suited for its analysis beyond weak coupling.
Besides this practical outcome, this reformulation will likely also hint at important new physical principles. Onsager's 1944 solution of the 2D Ising model gave rise to an outstanding improvement of our description of 2D classical models. Whole new fields arose as a result, enabling rapid advances in our understanding of critical phenomena, phases transitions, conformal field theory, and more. Finding an exact solution of an interacting quantum gauge theory will, I hope, enable similar advances and a deeper understanding of nature itself.
With this motivation in mind, my main focus right now is in understanding Correlation Functions, Wilson Loops and Scattering Amplitudes in planar N=4 Super Yang-Mills Theory using Integrability and Holography.

UN Volunteers recognized for invaluable support to missions
27 May 2005
Bonn, Germany: As the United Nations commemorates the third International Day of UN Peacekeepers on 29 May, paying tribute to those who serve in peacekeeping operations, United Nations Volunteers (UNV) are also being honoured for their dedication and courage in helping improve the lives of millions of people in war-torn and post-conflict countries across the globe.
More than 1,800 UN Volunteers are currently supporting UN peacekeeping operations in 11 countries worldwide: Afghanistan (UNAMA), Burundi (UNOB), Democratic Republic of the Congo (MONUC), Eritrea and Ethiopia (UNMEE), Haiti (MINUSTAH), Ivory Coast (UNOCI), Kosovo (UNMIK), Liberia (UNMIL), Sierra Leone (UNAMSIL), Sudan (UNMIS), and Timor-Leste (UNMISET). They constitute nearly 30 per cent of all international civilian staff, where they work in over 100 functional categories, from human rights officers to supply managers, and electoral observers to press officers.
In addition to providing much needed skills to assist and complement the UN in meeting ever growing peacekeeping demands, UN Volunteers bring a high-level of team spirit to mission operations and often mobilize civilian staff and local communities to volunteer in local initiatives. In Liberia for instance, UN Volunteers organized a charity walkathon in the capital to collect funds and raise support for an income generation project of an association of people living with HIV/AIDS.
"UN Volunteers go beyond their regular scope of duties to bond with communities and build support for the presence of the mission," says UNV Executive Coordinator Ad de Raad. "Through the promotion of volunteerism, they make solid steps at healing the wounds caused by war, and at the same time channel their energies towards promoting reconciliation and peace."
He adds: "We know the UN Department of Peacekeeping (DPKO) appreciates the philosophy of UNV in terms of mobilizing qualified men and women who combine professional competence and experience with the dedication and motivation associated with volunteerism."
In the past year, UN Volunteers received global recognition for their involvement in successful peacekeeping and political missions. As part of the UN Verification Mission in Guatemala (MINUGUA), which officially ended in December 2004 after a decade of verifying human rights and helping the country implement its peace accords, UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan lauded the involvement of the 430 UN Volunteers. He also paid tribute to the 60 Guatemalan UN Volunteers who, in the last year of the mission, were tasked with preparing communities and partner organizations for the transition and departure of MINUGUA. Working closely with counterparts in government, civil society organizations and human rights institutions, the UN Volunteers played a vital role in ensuring that the acquired knowledge, including the value of volunteerism in protecting and promoting human rights, is retained and continues to serve the population.
And in Afghanistan, 600 UN Volunteers were part of the concerted international effort in 2004 to register and process some 10 million voter applications in preparation of the country's first democratic presidential election. They were placed in each province as field coordinators and registration supervisors, as well as provided logistical support on the technical and administrative side of the registration activities. UN Volunteers are now engaged in similar tasks in Côte d'Ivoire, Haiti, the Democratic Republic of Congo, and Liberia as elections are anticipated in each respective country in the coming months.
Background to UN Volunteers and peacekeeping
UNV's largest operation to date was in Timor-Leste, where more than 2,000 UN Volunteers assisted the UN Transitional Administration in East Timor (UNTAET). At present, nearly 60 UN Volunteers remain in the country, helping conclude the UN Mission of Support in Timor-Leste (UNMISET), which officially ended last week after three-years of providing assistance following the country's independence in May 2002.
The current largest deployment of UN Volunteers, more than 550, is with the United Nations Organization Mission in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (MONUC).
