PharmAthene is merging with Theraclone Sciences to create a combined company focused on developing vaccines against infectious diseases and human monoclonal antibody (mAb) drugs against cancer, the companies said today. The price was undisclosed.
The combined company, to be headed by Theraclone CEO Clifford J. Stocks, will pursue development of four clinical-stage product candidates targeting high-value commercial and government markets, as well as a discovery pipeline with four preclinical programs and multiple discovery candidates, along with three products being developed with partners.
"A merger with Theraclone will significantly advance PharmAthene's goal of achieving broader portfolio diversification," Eric I. Richman, PharmAthene's president and CEO, said in a statement. "The combined company will have the potential to generate substantial value for stockholders through both corporate collaborations and the development of its own proprietary therapeutic mAbs targeting high-value commercial markets."
Richman will serve as a director of the combined company's board. The deal has been approved by the PharmAthene and Theraclone boards, but remains subject to shareholder and regulatory approval, and other customary closing conditions.
The combined company will develop two Theraclone mAb drug candidates—TCN-202 CMV antibody for prevention and treatment of human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) infections, and TCN-032 influenza antibody for pandemic and severe seasonal influenza—plus another mAb, PharmAthene's Valortim® anthrax antitoxin; and PharmAthene's SparVax®, a recombinant protective antigen (rPA), next-generation anthrax vaccine for pre and post-exposure prophylaxis of anthrax infection.
Furthest along in clinical trials is TCN-032, which has completed a Phase IIa study, results of which are set to be announced later this year. Also set for later this year is a Phase II study in solid organ transplant for TCN-202, which has completed a Phase I study. The combined company said it will explore other indications for TCN-202.
Additional Phase II testing will occur as well for Sparvax, which has already completed two Phase II and one Phase I studies involving 770 patients. Valortim has completed two Phase I clinical trials. The combined company will also use Theraclone's I-STAR™ memory B-cell interrogation platform, designed to facilitate discovery of human antibodies against novel targets, to advance a preclinical pipeline and ongoing collaborations.
Theraclone has a discovery collaboration with Pfizer focused on two infectious disease targets and an oncology target, all undisclosed, for which Theraclone has received upfront payments and research funding, and may receive milestone payments tied to development and commercialization milestones, plus royalties on product sales in the future. The research payments and milestone payments could add up to $632 million, the company said when the Pfizer collaboration was announced in 2011, and again last year.
Another collaboration partner is Zenyaku Kogyo, which in 2010 won exclusive license rights in Japan to Theraclone's flu antibody program. At the time, Theraclone won more than $9 million in fees, research milestone payments, and an equity investment from Zenyaku Kogyo toward a total $18 million through Phase I clinical trials. Theraclone is eligible for clinical milestone payments and royalties from potential future sales in Japan.
A wholly owned subsidiary of PharmAthene will merge into Theraclone in an all-stock transaction. PharmAthene will issue shares of its common stock to Theraclone stockholders, who will own 50% of the combined company and PharmAthene shareholders, the rest.

text: Review Content Excellent monitor I bought this monitor to use as a baby monitor. It lets me use the monitor from further away than most baby monitors. Great picture, even in her dark nursery. And clear sound. Plus, my baby girl loves the lullabies! There are plenty of other uses for this monitor too. Great product overall. A great little device Intend to use it as a driveway monitor in rural Vermont Great buy for the money Extra eyes when babysitting As good or better than advertised Havent had any negative experiences with this camera. Would buy this product again Mobile and dependable Work great. Works as I had hoped.

WEATHER: The geographical location of Pueblo County makes the area an ideal place for anyone wanting to live in the beautiful state of Colorado, but also desires a climate that has relatively mild winters and summers. The citizens of the county also enjoy relatively low humidity and sunny days for about 75% of the year. Pueblo is located in the "banana belt" of Colorado, when other areas experience snow, many times Pueblo remains dry. However, as the Boy Scouts say, "Be Prepared". Weather in March in Colorado is unpredictable. In the event of snow, Parks and Rec will plow the river trail but we can't guarantee solid footing throughout. Check the weather forecast, come prepared for snow, ice and cold, then be pleasantly surprised by the great weather we have in Pueblo in March. We will run the race regardless of the weather but we reserve the right to shorten the 10 miler if necessary. We will do our best to provide a quality run! Please remember, the race will be held, regardless of weather and there are no refunds. No animals or strollers are allowed for safety and insurance reasons. Headphones are discouraged but not banned.
The three Spring Run Off races combined with the Funner To Be A Runner kids races annually attract about 1500 participants making this the largest running event in Pueblo. The guiding principle of the Southern Colorado Runners Club and the Spring Runoff event management team is to provide the participant an accurate course and time along with the best running experience possible. Our goal is to offer a quality race at a reasonable cost. A portion of your entry fee will be used to support Pueblo High School and Middle School Cross Country.

ASM Attends UN General AssemblyASM President, Susan Sharp, Ph.D., joined global leaders at the United Nations General Assembly in New York today in a historical meeting to focus on the commitment to fight AMR.
The Honorable Colin Powell
United States Department of State
2201 C Street, N.W.
Washington, DC 20520
Dear Secretary Powell:
The American Society for Microbiology (ASM) is writing to ask that the Department of State develop procedures and allocate resources necessary to assure prompt and appropriate action on visa requests for students and researchers seeking to study the microbiological sciences within the United States. We believe this matter requires the urgent attention of the Department of State.
The ASM recognizes the threat terrorism poses to our nation. For that reason, ASM has worked with the Congress and the Administration to develop statutes and regulations designed to protect the United States against terrorism involving the possible misuse of the microbiological sciences.
The ASM is also very mindful of another clear and present danger – the scourge of infectious diseases. Infectious diseases daily end the lives of thousands of Americans and tens of thousands around the world. Infectious diseases continue to be the third leading cause of death in the United States. In responding to the threat of terrorism, therefore, we must minimize any adverse impact on vital research and public health activities related to infectious diseases. That work includes educating and training the next generation of scientists at home and around the world.
The open exchange of scientific information and the global training of microbiologists must remain a fundamental principle of United States policy regarding the microbiological sciences. Educational exchanges and training of students, researchers and clinicians in microbiology and other scientific disciplines from countries around the world are critical for the advancement of biomedical science and public health. If we limit our ability to exchange scientific information and train scientists, we will severely limit our ability to fight infectious diseases, and infectious diseases do not respect any border.
Recently, there are reports that students, post doctoral trainees and senior scientists are encountering difficulty entering the United States within a time frame permitting attendance at scheduled educational activities, scientific meetings and international advisory bodies. Further, we understand that some individuals who returned to their homelands during school breaks were unable to re-enter the United States with sufficient dispatch to resume their classes. These reports are distressing.
We urge the Department of State to eliminate the adverse impact of visa policies on the continued education and training of foreign students in the United States. ASM does not urge laxness in processing visas. ASM agrees that it is necessary to implement appropriate screening of persons desiring entry into the United States. ASM does urge that such screening processes be undertaken with a minimum of disruption of educational and research endeavors. We urge observance of the following principles in designing and implementing screening procedures.
ASM understands that the development and implementation of visa policies in current world circumstances requires a difficult balancing of policies, procedures, and resources. However, we have confidence that the efforts of the Department of State will protect and advance the interests of our citizens at home and abroad. It is in this spirit of concern for the public welfare that we urge you to implement a visa system designed and funded to permit the timely admission of students in the microbiological sciences. ASM pledges to assist you in every possible way to achieve this important goal.

But this little laptop does offer an awful lot for $369. It's reasonably fast, gets reasonably good battery life, has a quiet, fanless design, features a touchscreen display, and it's rather compact.

September 13, 2008, 01:43 AM
Which of these 3 makes do you prefer and why?
I picked these 3 all seem in the 500 buck range and all seem to be well liked
If you enjoyed reading about "Glock vs Springfield Armory XD vs S&W Mp" here in TheHighRoad.org archive, you'll LOVE our community. Come join
today for the full version!

September 13, 2008, 03:20 AM
I've only handled glocks and XDs, no S&W's.
B/w those 2, i prefer the grip angle of the XD (glock's is a little too extreme for me) and the added grip safety.
I have owned 3 total (2 currently, traded the 3rd) and haven't had a single problem with over 5K rounds b/w them.
September 13, 2008, 04:08 AM
Which of these 3 makes do you prefer and why?
I like all three quite well. The grip angle on the XD and M&P lines is more comfortable for me than that of the Glock line. I like how easy Glocks are to work on; and how cheap and readily available parts and magazines are for them. All three are great pistols, and it really comes down to which one each person shoots best, and which on fits his or her hands best.
September 13, 2008, 01:25 PM
My XD-45c fits my hand so perfectly that it points as naturally as my own finger. Try lowering a gun and looking away from the target direction. Lift the gun blindly to the approximate point of aim then look over and see if the front sight is lined up level with the back or pointed way up or down or offsides. Try this in several positions. The one that points most naturally for you is what you should shoot best.
Another test is firing, whether dry fire or with rounds, and see if finger movement, hand flexing, etc. is pulling you off aim and making you miss.
In my case, with hands of about average, medium size the XD fits perfectly. It doesn't seem to want to pull off-target from squeezing off a shot. I can shoot this better than any other pistol in any caliber. Many others also find it good. There is a new variation called XDM with three different backstraps and when the 45 version comes out(around Christmas according to XD Forum) I'll consider adding one or not. Can't think what it could do better for me than what I have now.
Customer service is good. Lifetime warranty fully supported. Many variations in size, caliber even color.
It's MY GUN! I really love this thing. Try renting one at a range.:D
September 13, 2008, 01:47 PM
I own all three and don't think you can go wrong with any of them.
My personal order of preference is:
But once again I love all of them.
September 13, 2008, 01:58 PM
this has been done to death....many times. :rolleyes:
but, all of them are great guns.
I have an M&P, and i love it. I shoot it well, it's comfortable, and just feels natural to me to hold.
I don't shoot glocks too great.
Haven't shot an XD yet, but they feel great in hand.
September 13, 2008, 02:02 PM
I like the M&P myself. Friend of mine I went to the range with has both an M&P 9mm and an XD 9mm. I shot the M&P alot more accurately than the XD.

It's an individual preference. the XD works extremely well for me.
September 13, 2008, 03:02 PM
By all accounts, the XD is a good gun. I just HATE the way it looks. The XDM looks much better.
The first S&W M&P I held felt AWFUL in my hand. I recently picked up another and it felt much better. Must have been a different backstrap installed.
I'll stick with my Glock 19 and Glock 22 for which I recently purchased cut rifling barrels so that I can shoot lead bullet reloads.
September 13, 2008, 03:59 PM
i love the xd, now all teh above are great but the xd's are my go to guns, for carry, hd, and competetion even. i have a service model which will surpass 8k this comming week when i go to 4 days of training in tenn, it is already at over 6k now. i have a sc model that i use for carry in the colder weather months, it has less rds but has been 100% reliable and fun to carry and shoot.
i prefer the xd because of the better ergos in my opinon over the glock. the m&p's ergos are really nice as well though. when i got my xd there were no m&p's and i am happy with the xd so i don't need or even want an m&p or a glock. to me there are several advantages for me personally of the xd over the glock, i won't get into that here as i have done so many times in the past. I will just say that there is no other gun that i shoot better with or enjoy shooting more than my xd service model .
September 13, 2008, 04:09 PM
The XD 45 (in fact all my XD's) my hand fits like a glove and it seems so natural to hold,aim and fire,for me its minimal effort.Also,I compared holster pulls with my XD 45 and a Glock 30,both seemed the same,yet the XD had 'better gripping' for my hand.

September 13, 2008, 04:38 PM
Ihave the m&p 45 and like it alot. of the three glock went out 1st. grip/npoa didn't wrok for me. really close between the xd and mp. mp won felt better and poa/poi was real good especialy for someone who shakes like a leaf in a wind storm. ajb
September 13, 2008, 04:42 PM
don't attack the OP for the thread.... come on...
He wanted to ask something that hasn't been asked before.
While we're at it though, 9mm or .45?
I won't vote in this one though because I think all three are equally good. I own all Glocks. If I could do it over again, it would be nice if I could have stepped in right now and just started, so as to get all XD(m)'s. Of course, I can always just pop a match grade barrel in a Glock too.
They're all good, try them out and figure out which you prefer.
September 13, 2008, 05:07 PM
Glocks fit my hands a little better than the other two, but all three work. Purely a matter of personal taste.
September 13, 2008, 05:54 PM
I own a few in all three makes and like them in this order M&P, Glock and SA XD.
September 13, 2008, 08:13 PM
XD & MP are great but like "ugaarguy" said, there are so many things you can do with glocks! With one Glock you can buy conversion barrels to shoot 9mm out of 40cal and 357sig guns, you can buy a 22lr conversion kit and even convert your pistol into a carbine!
Check these sites out before picking which pistol system is the best!
September 13, 2008, 09:48 PM
September 13, 2008, 09:52 PM
You could probably trade the Glock, XD and M&P for a nice 1911 :evil:
September 13, 2008, 10:26 PM
Own the M+P full size 9mm; several glocks and an XD45 tactical.
I prefer the glocks for their reliability record over the years and in my hands. I shoot the M+P as well as the glocks, the XD doesn't seem quite right in my hands but I shoot it well enough I'd carry it without a problem if I didn't have the glocks.
September 13, 2008, 10:38 PM
I voted for the XD, (I have one) but to be fair I have not had much time withe the Glock and none with the M&P.
September 13, 2008, 11:48 PM
I haven't shot the M&P, but between the XD and the Glock I prefer the XD. The Glock didn't feel right in my hand, I guess it was the grip angle like others have said. I do like the fact that Glock parts are everywhere though.
September 14, 2008, 05:06 PM
I think all 3 have their place & their fans but as long as everyone compares or includes Glocks in the "which one is better?" thread, the standard has been set & until someone knocks off the king (or sets a new standard)....
Long live the king!
September 14, 2008, 06:47 PM
i own an XD45ACP Standard.. so, i voted XD.. i'm impressed.. the only thing about the XDs are the trigger.. it's a long pull, and the reset is also long.. if SA would take some slack out of it, it would be great.. the sights are immensely hard to adjust or remove.. the early models have rust problems due to the finish, but SA will refinish the earlier non-melonite XDs that show pitting/rust for free.. the lack of an XD45ACP-SC is irritating.. the XD45C is a compromise on not having a SC model.. the lack of aftermarket parts is a reality with the XD.. for all the shortcomings of the XD, it's a very competent combat pistol..
the M&P is really, really nice and i wouldn't mind having one, but there are a few problems with it that i can't ignore.. 1) 10 rounds.. 2) the trigger is very gritty feeling (the pistol that i fired had less than 300 rounds though it, so i'm sure that it would be less so with more through it) 3) the field stripping procedure with the internal lever.. other than that, it's a beautiful pistol.. it's well balanced.. i like the slide serrations, very positive grip..
as for Glocks.. i don't like the grip angle, or shape.. and that's pretty much it..
September 14, 2008, 07:49 PM
I just bought an XD45acp. I love the thing to death, it's an amazing pistol as far as comfort, usability, etc. I took mine out for the first time today and liked the fact that it didn't have a harsh recoil.
Plus 13 rounds of .45acp? Yes please. Apparently these guns sell like hot-cakes from what the guy I bought mine from said. I understand why.
September 15, 2008, 03:21 AM
I'm going with the BIG G. :D
September 15, 2008, 08:03 AM
"Glock",,,the reason is "Glock"
September 15, 2008, 10:12 AM
XD for me. The others are fine pistols, but I prefer the XD for my personal tastes...
September 15, 2008, 11:10 AM
They all work fine, but for me Glock is best and that is what I will be spending my money on.
Shoot them all, and check out the available accessories and holsters for all, then choose which you want to spend your money on.
September 15, 2008, 03:19 PM
like GunNut said, all of em are fine pistols. i just have shot the Glock more, and like it. so my vote goes to glock.
i also like that parts, and accesories are easy to come by for the glock.
September 15, 2008, 06:35 PM
Glock because of interchangeable parts.
September 16, 2008, 07:04 AM
TG13, all of your desired changes on the XD seem to be answered in the XDM! It doesn't come in the .45 caliber,,, yet.
I was wanting the same things on my two XDs. I have installed the Powder River trigger mod on one and the other is the Pro Custom from SA. They are both satisfying their rolls in my life. My Glock 17 is collecting dust, waiting on a buyer.
September 16, 2008, 09:13 AM
I actually own one of each and I'm all for Glock.
September 16, 2008, 09:17 AM
Springfield Armory XD:)
September 16, 2008, 04:21 PM
While the trigger pull on the XD is smoother and lighter than the Glock, I still prefer the Glock. I've never been impressed with the M&P, it just doesn't feel right. I like not having a grip safety on my carry gun, have always trusted my Glock.
September 16, 2008, 04:40 PM
Held and shot al three. M&P won for me...twice (4" and compact).
More ergo, nicely made, reliable, accurate, everything I coud want in a pistol (except a metal frame. If they built a medal frame exactly the same shape as the polymer M&P, i'd definitely soil myself I'd be so happy).
September 16, 2008, 05:09 PM
Well having just bought an XD45 after much debating, I can say that I love it. 200 rounds of WWB today not a hitch, cleaned it up after I got home and can say that I am impressed.
Ala Dan
September 16, 2008, 05:31 PM
Like many folk's will tell you (including myself), all three are great pistols;
but the full size (first production run) Springfield XD's just fit me better.
I own a .45ACP version, from the late '05 production; and its proven too
be everything that it was hyped up too be~! :scrutiny: ;) :D
Chuck Spears
September 16, 2008, 06:55 PM
XD is my carry piece. 40sc in warmer months, 45c in cooler months. I love mine. Feels much better in my hand than Glocks. Don't believe anyone who start tooting their horn about one being better than the other. Just go with the one that feels best for you.
XD-40 Shooter
September 16, 2008, 08:11 PM
I've handled Glock's at gun show's, they don't fit my hand at all, funky grip angle. I haven't handled or shot the M&P either, but I'm sure its a good pistol. I do own an XD-40, fits my hand great, points naturally, very comfortable to shoot, I like the ergo's. For me, its the XD.:D
September 16, 2008, 09:17 PM
XD 45 TACTICAL .....:evil: it with out a doubt is my favorite handgun period...... if it wasnt so big i would carry it all the time

Lil Boosie is ready to show the world what he's made of. The Baton Rouge native has announced the title and release date for his new album.
Louisiana rapper Lil Boosie knows lean is deadly considering he almost died from drinking the popular codeine-based drink loved by the rap community.
Lil Boosie enlists the help of his Trill Ent. label mates Foxx & Webbie for his latest cut, 'Pray For Me.'
A month after being released from prison, Lil Boosie performed his first concert as a free man in Nashville last Friday (April 11).
Rapper Lil Boosie is officially back! The New Orleans rhymer dropped a new video for 'Show the World,' his first visual since his release from prison in March.
Lil Boosie is a freed man and he's already causing a stir in his New Orleans community. Neighbors in the rapper's upscale subdivision are upset over his loud house party he hosted last weekend and now they are complaining.
Lil Boosie will finally get his chance to greet fans on the road. During a routine probation hearing on Thursday (March 15), the New Orleans rhymer was sentenced to 100 hours of community service and allow to travel.
Are you unfamiliar with who Lil Boosie is or why the rap world has been losing their collective minds since his release from prison last week? Don't worry, The Boombox has got you covered.
After spending five years at the Louisiana State Penitentiary, Lil Boosie is a free man and he's ready to talk. The New Orleans rhymer held a press conference today (March 10) in his hometown to discuss his newfound freedom and the future of his rap career.
After being released from the Louisiana State Penitentiary last night (March 5), Lil Boosie is already making his first waves back into the rap game. The Baton Rouge, La., rapper debuts two freestyles, apparently recorded during his ride home from jail as a free man.

Donaire's Return To Top Rank: Conflicting Statements
By Ronnie Nathanielsz
WBC/WBO bantamweight champion Nonito "The Filipino Flash" Donaire's return to the ring is apparently moving forward.
That's according to Top Rank promoter Bob Arum who told BoxingScene.com/Daily Inquirer "everything is moving well and in the right direction."
However, Donaire's manager Cameron Dunkin when asked about any progress on a possible return to the Top Rank fold simply said "No. Nothing."
Donaire's career has been bogged down in a contractual dispute with Top Rank after he bolted and signed up with Golden Boy Promotions following his spectacular win over Fernando "KO-Chulito" Montiel last February 19.
Former judge Daniel Weinstein who arbitrates disputes between Top Rank and Golden Boy Promotions had earlier ruled that Golden Boy could not negotiate with fighters under contract with Top Rank effectively scuttling Donaire's move to GBP.
Donaire claims that Top Rank failed to keep an agreement to get him three fights a year and charged Arum with breach of contract.
However, Arum responded by claiming that Donaire was under medical suspension after two fights for a total of some 300 days and there was no way Top Rank could honor the agreement and get him fights.
Fight fans consider Donaire's failure to resolve his differences and return to the ring a pity because his win over Montiel established him as a genuine star and elevated him to the No.3 position on the prestigious Ring Magazine's pound-for-pound ranking behind Manny Pacquiao and WBC light middleweight champion Sergio Martinez.

Greeley's future medical professionals will soon have upgraded training grounds.
NCMC, Inc. and Banner Health/North Colorado Medical Center pledged $150,000 each to fund a $300,000 expansion of the existing Health Science Academy, located at Greeley Central High School.
"We are proud to be a part of giving increased educational opportunities for young men and women to explore multiple healthcare options," Rick Sutton, NCMC's chief executive officer, said in a news release Thursday. "We believe that providing this avenue to obtain the needed training is important to ensure that we have highly trained, committed people in the future health care workforce."
With the upgrade to the facility, the Banner/NCMC Health Science Academy can serve up to 200 students in grades 9-12 " the program currently serves 22 students. Lessons will be delivered in a simulated clinical environment, using state-of-the-art equipment, including hospital beds, medical mannequins, and an array of diagnostic and therapeutic equipment and supplies.
The four-year program will enable students to graduate from high school with the skills, knowledge and certification to enter a variety of health care jobs or pursue further medical training in college, according to the news release.
Students who enroll in the upgraded Banner/NCMC Health Science Academy will be able to take classes in:
» Health sciences
» Medical Terminology (including Spanish-English medical terminology)
» Health care foundations
» Human anatomy and physiology
» World health care research
» Health science technology education entry-level job certifications (certified nursing assistant, emergency medical technician, pharmacy technician, among others)
Health Science Academy students will also be able to work with students and faculty from Aims Community College and the University of Northern Colorado. Students will also be able to participate in the Health Occupations Students of America chapter, and will have opportunities for practicums, internships and job shadowing with local health care professionals throughout the Academy experience.
The academy's teaching-and-learning lab will be created on the west side of Greeley Central High School, by renovating existing classroom space. That work will begin in May and continue through the summer.
It will open in August 2012. As a magnet program, the academy will be open to students from across Greeley, Evans and nearby communities.
Also appreciative of NCMC's and Banner Health's donations was Scott Holcomb, the district's Career Pathway facilitator.
"It is amazing to think that students in high school will have so many opportunities to experience the field of health care firsthand," Holcomb said.

Neonatal candidiasis, contracted during passage through the vagina and erupting clinically during the first two weeks of life, is a commonplace occurrence. On the other hand, candidal infection contracted in utero and clinically manifest at birth is extremely rare. The few cases recorded in the literature indicate that systemic rather than cutaneous infection is the rule and that the outcome is usually fatal.1,2In 1960 we reported what we believe to be the first case of prenatally contracted cutaneous candidiasis.3 In that case the intrauterine origin of the infection was inferred from the presence at birth of well-advanced, extensive candidal skin lesions. Premature rupture of the membranes, permitting ascending candidal contamination of the uterine cavity and its contents, furnished a plausible explanation for the pathogenesis of the fetal infection. Intensive administration of antibiotics during the last 17 days before delivery may have been a contributory factor.The

Bellafini's Trattoria in New Berlin now open
Bellafini's Trattoria offers an authentic Italian dining experience for the Milwaukee area
Bellafini's Trattoria recently relocated its authentic Italian dining hotspot to New Berlin.
Located in the beautiful New Berlin City Center at 15175 W. National Ave., owner/chef Chris Giaimo and his wife, Jennifer, brought the Italian restaurant 70 miles south to be closer to family.
Besides, that's what it's all about at Bellafini's – family. So much so it's not uncommon to see Chris's mom helping out in the kitchen with food prep in the afternoon. The move also made it possible to provide a traditional, yet modern Italian restaurant in the Milwaukee area.
The Giaimo family felt the need to change the dining landscape in New Berlin by opening up the only independent restaurant in the area using local sustainable food to create fine Italian cuisine.
"The food on our menu is prepared with fresh sustainable ingredients. We refuse to use inferior products to create the modern Italian dishes we serve," said Giaimo
Join the Giaimo family for a meal, call (262) 787-3007. In addition to serving dinner, Bellafini's now offers lunch options beginning at 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Monday through Saturday. The Italian restaurant is now hiring cooks, bartenders and servers.
About Bellafini's Trattoria
Chef Giaimo uses high-quality sauces made from scratch, seafood that is sustainibly caught and meats free from hormones and antibiotics. All imported meats and cheeses are certified and stamped.

- Professional Artists
- Emerging Artists
- Student Artists
Peter Parrish
My name is Peter Parrish. I was born in South Africa. I have been drawing (realism) since my childhood. After leaving Africa, my family arrived in California, where nobody knew how to pronounce my name. In high school I was universally recognized as the best artist; and everyone wondered how I had the patience to study human anatomy and compose mathematical equations (concerning the composition and draftsmanship of the human body). After high school, I became interested in playing the pipe organ. I have been studying music at Centenary College to attain a Bachelors of Music in Organ Performance. In case you are wondering why I did not go to art school, please read the "Awards and Achievements" section. No human taught me how to draw and paint. I was educated by God. I paint pictures for a living... but soon I will be playing the "king of instruments" in a cathedral as well as painting pictures for a living.
Artist Statement
I believe all art should be well crafted, well composed, and well educated. Therefore I believe the highest form of art to be Classical Realism, because this form of art stresses intelligence, educated observation, flawless method, and mathematical composition. Likewise, all art should appear beautiful to the human eye, or it is worthless. I believe a painter should paint with brainpower, not with animalistic "expression" (as abstractionists believe). Every human eye knows terrible art when they see it (whether their brain admits it or not); but only the educated eye can truly see the perfect.
Art Education
I won a talent Scholarship in high school for best artist. After high school I tried attending Laguna College of Art and Design (a realist school), but I was better than anyone else, including the teachers, so I dropped out. Ever since I have been pursuing a degree in pipe organ performance as well as building a portfolio of paintings. I haven't tried winning any awards, because my paintings are my achievements. See for yourself.

A deserving honor
U.S. Rep. Mac Thornberry, R-Clarendon, was named the 20th recipient of the Legislative Vanguard Award on Tuesday by the Non Commissioned Officers Association of America.
The award, presented previously to such distinguished individuals as U.S. Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., and former U.S. senator and astronaut John Glenn, honors legislators who have displayed a legislative priority for military personnel.
Thornberry, a member of the House Armed Services Committee, fits this criterion.
Recently, Thornberry has supported Amarillo's Pantex plant in various capacities and also played a key role in the government's continued support and allocation of the V-22 Osprey. A possible increase in military retiree health care is also an initiative Thornberry supports.
Thornberry has long made a commitment to the military one of his main priorities, and he is due recognition for his efforts.
Plain talk
Supporters of an initiative awaiting review by the Oklahoma Supreme Court designating English as the official state language may want to reconsider their proposal.
The initiative has received criticism from Gov. Frank Keating and religious groups. Keating, a Republican, has previously stated his opposition to the proposal, which could be included on the November ballot.
The initiative requires all state business be conducted in English, and that all state funds for business conducted in other languages be returned to the state's general revenue fund.
The ability to converse in English, which is the dominant language across the nation, should be valued by those of all backgrounds. Individuals unable to comprehend a nation's dominant language put themselves at a societal and economic disadvantage. However, this does not justify a mandate forcing all government business be conducted in one language.
It is worth noting that several Native American tribes in Oklahoma also oppose the initiative, begging the question: Would the name "Oklahoma," an Indian word, be prohibited from state documents?

"My advise to Tiwa is not to create any stir or to say that I know too much"................R & B singer, Paul I. K Dairo
" Tiwa is on my mind. I listened to her interview on Nigeria info Abuja yesterday. First of all I want to make it clear that she is one of the few truly talented artistes on our soil. When she sings I feel proud to be a Nigerian.
This is my message to her:
My dear Tiwa, the media world loves bad news and the prey on successful people's scandal.
Please...next time don't grant any interview on your private life. Keep your private issues within the four walls of your home. I know you want people to know your side of the story but you don't really owe anybody any explanation.
You know what u went through and why you've made your decision. Let the world bother about your musical career while you deal with your private issues privately.I'm giving this advise from experience in the game.
Sometimes Silence speaks more than a million words!!! Shalom!"

A young Benin man, Felix Osemwengie Isere, has decided to honour the Oba of Benin by observing a Benin tradition that requires all Benin males to shave all their hair when the Oba dies.This is what he wrote........
In obedience of the ever respected Benin tradition, I finally shaved my hair today...my Oba was the greatest king and patriarch that ever lived on earth and we will all miss him, and forever honour him.There is one snag though, there ought to be absolutely no hair.......As in gorimakpa. Oh well, at least he made an effort.
Tradition must be obeyed, no matter our level of education or civilization.
Goodbye Oba Erediawa!!!

Unfortunately, he instead severed ties with her and got married to another woman when he got to Lagos.
The woman sensing something was wrong traced him to his new house and as expected was infuriated by her discovery. Cheating husband, new wife, scorned ex wife?......You know what happened. They started fighting each other. Watch the video below..........

And Nigerian men, Charles Novia and Freeze stand with TeeBlizz……Charley Boy weighs in
Charles Novia
I watched the video interview of Tiwa Savage. And I have a few thoughts on it.
Seems to me that the basic idea, coming from a PR perspective, was to pull a fast Olivia Pope ish on the scandal which broke a few hours ago. And understandably so. Tiwa Savage is a Brand Ambassador for a few top brands such as MTN, Pepsi and Pampers.
Whatever the negative fallout of this impending and scandalous divorce , it's going to have some downside a bit on the brands she campaigns for. So a fast 'tell-my-side-of-the-story mode' had to be employed and fast too.

Shorters been controling this stock for some time, it is getting old and frustrating. Watch the option bids pretty tight.
Its the big money that purchased thousands of $57.50 puts right before earnings were released. Poor guy(s) are going to end up with a bunch of worthless options. I guess they can't short it enough with the markets making new highs.
they already took it to 57.50 and sold those! are u kidding me? they are LONG GONE! and they cashed in the 62.50 calls first ! u are wrong, these guys control the markets, it's the Primary Dealer Mafia
Sentiment: Strong Sell
I got dead money waiting on a $56.50 cop bid, so shorty works for me. Dividend pigs don't have no problem with shorty hanging around.
GONE NEGATIVE AGAIN-stick a fork in this turd
i would like to take my shares and stickm where the sun don't shine onthat ceo, see you in june, pos till then.

I've played them all so here I go?
Rayman Raving Rabbids consists mainly of a story mode where you control Rayman through a series of mini-games. Once you complete these minigames you can replay them in score mode to unlock bonuses, and also play some of them in multiplayer
Mario party consists of playing a board game where you roll a 10 sided dice and move your chosen character across a board. You are with 3 other people, either CPU or friends. After each person rolls and events occur on the board, you get thrown into a random minigame where the winner either steals coins from others or gets coins.
Wario is just a huge array of awesome minigames of awesomeness, and really funny. No real story and was MADE for multiplayer madness as it does get boring after a while by yourself.

Madonna and Alex Rodriguez were both spotted in Mexico City last weekend.
The two have not confirmed their romance. But they reportedly had their public "coming out" Nov. 26, when, according to E!, the Yankees third baseman handed Madonna a water bottle during her Miami concert.
They also apparently met up on Thanksgiving, after Rodriguez fulfilled his family obligations.
When asked what he thought about being in the capital city the same time as his rumored paramour, the baseball star would only say it was "very good," the Associated Press reports.
The 50-year-old Madonna – whose divorce from Guy Ritchie was finalized just days ago – was in town to perform a pair of concerts on her "Sticky & Sweet" tour. Rodriguez, meanwhile, was invited to inaugurate a new sports complex in the city, and spent two hours on Sunday teaching kids to bat.
"It's a pleasure to talk about baseball, to talk about the importance of keeping children off the streets, out of drugs and out of all the bad things that there are in this life," the 33-year-old said in Spanish.

Welch talks about renewable energy financingApril 02,2013BURLINGTON Congressman Peter Welch has announced legislation that he says will make it easier to pay for renewable energy projects in Vermont and around the country.
He says the proposal would expand a financing tool used by the energy sector called master limited partnerships to renewable energy projects.
Currently, those projects are not eligible for that business structure, which is taxed as a partnership but is traded like a corporate stock.
Welch said Monday that expanding MLP financing to renewable energy projects would be a boost to the industry and for a cleaner energy future.
He talked about the proposal Monday at a discussion with Vermont renewable energy companies at AllEarth Renewables in Williston.MORE IN Vermont NewsMIDDLETOWN, Conn.

Bernard Hopkins and Tavoris Cloud both made weight Friday and so we're a step closer to seeing if Hopkins, who turned 48 on Jan. 15, can still be considered the ageless wonder of pugilism, or if that cruel predator Father Time has finally gotten his clutches into the Philly-based legend.
Cloud, who holds the IBF light-heavy crown, was 173.8, while Hopkins, a six-time champ, was 174.4 at a session held in the lobby of Barclays Center. Hopkins (52-6-2 with 32 KOs) was in Executioner mode, intensity emanating from every pore, while Cloud looked loosey-goosey during the ceremony. The Florida-born hitter, who holds a 24-0 (19 KOs) mark, giggled when he inadvertently almost yanked down his underwear as he took off his sweatpants to step on the scale.
The heat in the building rose when the two men did a staredown. Hopkins leaned right into Cloud, put his face on Cloud's, and whispered not-so-niceties into the ear of the Don King-promoted boxer. They were separated and escorted to different parts of the building.
After, one vet boxer I spoke to, not on the card, said he thought Cloud looked drained. But the fighter struck me as very relaxed, and told me that he felt as good as he ever has before a fight. His legs had good bounce in them, he reported. And what was it that Hopkins whispered to him during the staredown? "He said, he didn't want me to beat him up too bad," Cloud said, with a slight grin. "I ain't worrying about what he said, I'm about to end his career. It's irrelevant what he said. I told him I'm going to whup his ass."
His trainer, Abel Sanchez, told me he loves Cloud's mood going into the bout. He said he'd rather have a guy be able to joke some, not be too tight and angry, heading into fight night. "We're going to have to make Hopkins fight," he said, when asked about strategy. "We're not letting him rest." Hopkins has never been stopped, but Cloud seems like he's aiming for that. "Anyone can be stopped," he said to NYFightblog.
It's a good bet, though, that the judges will have the final say at the end of the night on the card promoted by Golden Boy.
If you can't make it to Barclays Center, HBO will show the main event, after a support bout pitting Keith Thurman, a show-closer type, against ex-champ Jan Zaveck.
Readers, feel free to drop a prediction in the comments section.

Longtime Gardnerville resident, Emily Allison, is stepping out of her comfort zone to serve people on the other side of the world.
The 20-year-old is getting involved with the World Race, a mission trip that travels to 11 countries in 11 months.
"I feel called to do mission work, and I felt like this was something I wanted to do. It sounds amazing," Emily said. "It's an all-denomination Christian mission trip. We go in and assist in any way they need. It's living in the community, sharing the gospel, loving the people and doing whatever we can for them."
Emily leaves the first week of July and will work in Ireland, Ukraine, Russia, Kenya, Tanzania, Mozambique, India, Nepal, Cambodia and Malaysia.
Toward the end of their trip, Emily and her team will pray about what country they will visit last.
"It's going to be an Asian country. We just don't know which one," she said.
Her squad will consist of 70 people ages 20 to 35. Once in a country they will be broken up into smaller teams to help with various tasks ranging from teaching English, building churches or working in orphanages.
"We actually get to be in the culture with the people, and see what life is really like for them. I get to work with them and have a relationship with them," Emily said. "I love working with children, and to be able to help the kids in the countries and to make a difference in one kid's life will be a beautiful thing."
To pay for travel, food and living expenses Emily must raise $15,500, the first half due by July.
To raise money Emily is selling crocheted scarves, hats or whatever the customer requests.
"Any prayers would also be greatly appreciated for health and safety while we're traveling," Emily said.
A sample of her work can be found at www.nevadaphotosource.com, or on her blog emilyallison.theworldrace.org.
Emily said she expects to return from her 11-month journey with a new perspective on life.
"You can't travel that much and come back the same person," she said. "I'm expecting to have my mind changed about some things and be closer to God."
Emily's mother, Cathleen, is excited and proud of her daughter's upcoming trip.
"It really is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for her to experience other cultures, and see parts of the world that most people will never get a chance to see," Cathleen said.
She also said Emily has had a heart for others since she was young.
"I think Emily's efforts to help others started in middle school. She was very active in school with various youth advocacy groups and that carried over to her work with her church (Cornerstone Christian Fellowship) and her interest in youth ministry," Cathleen said. " I think this trip is the next chapter for her."
While traveling Emily will update her blog with photos and progress regularly. She will return to Gardnerville in May 2013.

Historical Traveler Reviews Hotel Emira Hammamet
Great Hotel, will be going back soon
Went to Hammemet for a 1st week in july, did an allocation on arrival so didnt know what to expect, was pleasantly surprised, the entertainment staff were great and really gorgeous well. As two girls travelling together they would tell us were to go and what to expect in the resort-all in all they were great and we're planning to go back before the season ends, the cleaners in the hotel and i would recommend using the beauty parlour downstairs in the hotel, Irish travellers you cant use a vodafone mobile out there and calls to home cost 2dinars per min, but the guys on the reception are lovely and really helpful too!! Stay away from the medina in Hammemet if you dont want to get hassled, go to the Medina in Carthage land in Yasmine Hammemet only around 7dinars in a cab and well worth it if you like finding bargains. Theres also a lovely Italian restaurant in there called La Verde very good food and very cheap.
Wicked holiday
i had a week here with my mum and 2 kids, my husband is tunisian and he also stayed with us, we found the hotel to be excellent the staff very very friendly, and it was exceptionally clean, i didnt rate the breakfast much but i did stay away from the hotel for 3 nights and we ate out nearly all the time anyway, my husband living there he knew the best and cheapest places to go,, the kids didnt want to leave, and i will definetly be going back to the emira, as i am over in tunisia every 6 weeks
Liittle sweet hotel
This hotel i must admit will not suit everyones tastes but you get what you pay for no less. It is suituated in a busy scruffy part of Hammamet..... but the hotel its self is lovley. The rooms are clean and well looked after by the cleaners they get paid about 1 pound a day and they work so hard. I left mine 20 dinar at the end of the holiday she didnt no what to say. ;D. The pool area is clean and quite , there are not many sunbeds but if you get the sunshine on your balcony they are big enough for to people to sit out on. There are regular taxis to the beach witch is really nice. Many people are put off by Tunisia because of the locals and say they never went out of the hotel. I find this silly if you say No! they normally go away, dont let they keep you hostage in your hotel remember you pay there wages for being there as torism is the way the country makes there money.
My stay at The Emira
Went with my wife and 2 kids to the Emira, We found the hotel really clean and the staff very friendly and helpful. We wanted to see the Tunisian culture and way of life and the hotel is situated in an ideal location to see that and not to far away from the centre. My only fault with the hotel was that there wasn't a good choice of food for the kids, apart from that we had a really good 2 weeks
Great holiday at the Emira
Went on a girlie holiday to the Emira hotel which was great value for money, especially when just using as a place to sleep/eat when travelling around Tunisia. Excellent at Easter as not as busy, but can see the swimming pool gettin very crowded in summer. Food was very nice giving us a taste of tunisian cuisine. Staff were great and very friendly, really good atmosphere. Being slightley further from beach than other hotels you get to see more of local life and culture on the walk down which takes approx. 15min but taxis are so cheap can be lazy and get one down the road!
Service above self!
Being a frequent traveller to Hammamet and always looking for a good deal, I booked with Hotel Emira. After this I looked for reviews and was a little bit apprehensive having read some rather negative comments. However may I say to all those travelling to Hammamet this hotel was superb, all of the staff friendly and helpful and nothing was too much trouble. The rooms were clean, beds comfortable and my only negative observation was the colour turquoise painted on the furniture. When I arrived I was given coffee, water etc, greeted with a friendly staff. The hotel reception and bar area is extremely pleasant and facilities were of a high standard.Everyone was very polite and the manager of this hotel is constantly walking around checking on everything. Excellent time wish I had booked 2 weeks but will certainly return there. The food was very good and presented well. Thanks Emira for making me feel so comfortable.
Tunisia 3* is Ireland 2*
Don't expect alot and you won't be disappointed. THe hotel is clean. Food is good needs to be presented alot better. Entertainment didnt exist even though there was a full entertainment notice board filled with activities.
You need to be up early to get a sunbed at the pool. There were only 60 sunloungers. they do have a coursity b us to the beach every hour. On the beach it is a reseverd are with lounge chairs (no sunbeds) grab 2 tables and put them together, it works) and a a resturant that will sevre you while you sunbathe.
All in all its ok, but don't expect too much. Staff very friendly and helpful.
A Week at the Emira
be better hotels than the Emira. The location seemed too far away from the beach and the resort centre. We expected a little bit more.
You get what you pay forat the Emira!
The Hotel Emira is at the scruffy end of the town, about 1.5 miles from the Medina and Fort. The beach is about 5 min. walk and has all manner of water sports and plenty of sunbeds.
The food at the hotel is appalling - allright for snacks but you only need to go B&B as it's so cheap to eat out - expect to pay 10 GB per head for 3 courses and wine along the front.
The pool is too small for a hotel with 130 beds and people still reserve sunbeds despite notices from the staff not to do so. One morning I woke up and removed all the towels - uproar!! The rooms are spartan, but then they suit for sleeping and washing. Have coffe & breakfast in the little Cafe opp. - 1 GB for 2 coffee's & Coissant.
The pool 'Lifeguard' spends all day sleeping on sunbeds, only waking to share a cigarette with his buddies (who also reserve sunbeds....) and to tell little kiddies off for jumping in the pool and is a complete waste of time.
The staff are really great and the people really friendly, although most of the men in the streets seem to look at teenage European girls as if they've come from Mars - you really do have to be on the ball here...
The 'Sahara trip' is a must - it costs @ 70 GB and is outstanding value for money. You get to see the El Djem colloseum, ride camels in the sahara, o/night at 5* hotels, 4x4 ride to the mountains at dawn - it really is a must.
The Medina gets a bit irksome, with people asking to haggle/see my shop/buy this now please but shopping is usually fun and most shops sell the same things really.
Tunis is not really for the tourist - they seem to have a festival of rubbish every morning and does smell pretty grim. Souss is nothing more than bland hotels and bland shopping malls.
All in all, this is a great place to holiday - the people are so friendly that it's hard not to have a good time. But dont let women go out of an evening on thiere own - they will get hassled. Oh. bye the way - everything's a Dihnar!
