A 60-year-old Georgetown man died Saturday morning following a Friday afternoon motorcycle crash.
Melvin Richard Perry Jr. was pronounced dead at 2:45 a.m., Horry County Coroner Robert Edge said.
Perry was the driver of a northbound motorcycle that ran into the back of a sport utility vehicle that had slowed for traffic just north of the Garden City Connector on US 17 Bypass at 2:36 p.m., Lance Cpl. Sonny Collins said.
Perry and a passenger on the motorcycle -- both thrown from the bike -- were taken to Grand Strand Regional Medical Center for treatment of their injuries.
No charges have been filed in the crash and it remains under investigation, Collins said.

With the influx of Islamophobia-related crimes in the United States these past few months, it can be an extremely scary and nerve-wracking experience to leave home and brave the world as Muslims today.
Because of the crimes of extremists across the globe and right here in the U.S., Muslims are being unfairly given the assumption and stigma of being suspicious, dangerous and a higher risk to those around them. With the addition of online hate, anonymous phone calls and protests outside of religious institutions — we shouldn't feel as unsafe and on edge as we have to be now.
It is vital for us to keep in mind that we are in no way, shape or form responsible for all the extremism and atrocities that are occurring globally and we have nothing to personally apologize for as Muslims.
However, as Muslim communities face backlash from the ignorance caused by the media, extremists in the name of our beloved religion, along with bigots who simply look for an excuse to show their racist colors, it is crucial that we all take the necessary precautions and keep safe.
Despite our disappointment that this list needs to exist, we've gathered some tips on how to keep yourself safe in public, at home and on your way to work.

Foot Health Practitioner (Advanced)
from £1,499.99
Payment options
- Course type Distance learning course
- Duration 180 Hours, Part-time
- Qualification SAC Diploma
- Awarded by Register for Foot Health Professional (R.F.H.P)
There is no greater satisfaction than to care for others, and our Foot Health Practitioner course gives you the opportunity to accomplish this in your own practice. The human foot is one of the most complex and neglected of body parts. Every step we take places 2.5 times our body weight on the 26 bones that make up each foot, and it has been estimated that we walk 3 times around the planet in a lifetime. The foot is highly sensitive, and like any machine part, suffers wear or damage when injured or stressed beyond its capability.About the Foot Health Practitioner Profession
Here's where you come in. Though there may be little wrong with their feet, circumstances may prevent people looking after them. Arthritis, painful hip joints or stiff knees may put their feet out of reach or prevent use of scissors or nippers. However, others do have problems with their feet, from corns, calluses, verrucae, flat-foot and bunions, to nail conditions and structural defects, many of which can be treated without surgery or medical intervention. Some people just enjoy being pampered or are concerned with maintaining their bodies in optimum condition. All of these people need the help of a Foot Health Practitioner: a professional trained to deliver care and advice either in a private surgery or in the home.About our Foot Health Course

Magento 2 and avoiding the rabbit hole
Magento 2 has brought the Magento community up to date with modern best practices and technology, which consequently means a learning curve, even for people who are very experienced with Magento 1. In this talk I will walk through some of my experiences so far in working with Magento 2, specifically focussed on the debugging side and how to avoid getting stuck down the rabbit hole.

Getting your hands dirty testing Magento 2
The arrival of Magento 2 is an opportunity for many Magento developers to catch up on modern standards, including automated testing and the discipline of Test Driven Development.
The Magento 2 core comes with thousands of unit, integration, functional, JavaScript and performance tests, and also provides the tools to run write and run these.
The old excuse "Magento is hard to test" no longer can be used.
This presentation is not a generic introduction to TDD. Instead, it will focus on Magento 2 specifics related to writing tests.
The talk targets both developers new to testing and developers with experience. If you are not familiar with automated testing, you will get a feeling for how it is to work this way.
If you already are experienced with TDD, but not with Magento 2, you will gain insight into how to best utilize the Magento 2 testing framework.
The presentation might include some live coding in addition to informational slides.

Embracing change
how to prepare for new challenges
This year, I've changed a lot – in my life and myself. I moved from Hamburg to Aachen (about 500 km), leaving behind my family and friends, started working at a different company and changed my day-to-day work tasks. I also changed my hobbies, by the way becoming a bit more self-confident. Was it hard? The moving part, yes. The rest: not at all. Why? I did everything I could to make this transition as easy as possible. Everything in my head was prepared for change.
In our IT world, change is natural. We change from one version to another, we change frameworks, software and hosting partners. But what about ourselves? Yes, of course we change, too. Slowly with time, whether we realise it or not. Sometimes more profound changes happen to us that require us to adjust ourselves to, for example, a new task in our company, a new job, a new city.
Change is stressful, but you are in control and able to influence if it is the good kind of stressful or the bad, exhausting kind.
Since change sometimes comes rather suddenly, we all need to be ready for it. Therefore, I'd like to share a few tips and tricks with the Mage Titans audience that have helped me in the past, whether I changed jobs, tasks at work, my place of residence or my social circle.

Extending Magento Layered Navigation
Sometimes it's useful to create categories to access directly to groups of products, classified according to specific characteristics.
In my talk I will show you how to extend Magento layered navigation to use category branches such as filters avoiding to replicate the same classification through specific product attributes.

Demystifying Plugins
With the introduction of plugins, Magento 2 solves an important problem that many Magento 1 developers have faced in the past by allowing unintrusive extension of core functionality. Its implementation, however, is not yet understood by many.

Magento 2 as a CMS
about using Magento 2 for something else other than e-commerce projects
In theory, one should be able to use Magento2 as any other CMS due to it's loose coupling between modules.
In practice is not that straight forward, but with a little work it can be done.
In this talk, I'm going to present the "bumps in the road" and the possible workarounds in order to achieve this.

Magento Worst Practice
During years of working with Magento, I have seen a lot of Magento shops.
Not all of them were in a good state, and this presentation will expose the most hair-raising issues.
Some problems are obvious, some are not – but all are either dangerous, make Magento slow or are extremely ugly.
Learn how to avoid the worst mistakes when setting up and running Magento.

Treatment is a very important part of recovering from depression, but people often feel ashamed of their condition or pessimistic about whether treatment will really help them. If your friend has not yet seen a doctor, encourage him to seek help and reassure him that there is nothing wrong with asking for assistance. Depression is a real illness and very treatable. If he is already seeing a doctor, offer to help him in keeping up with medications and appointments until he is feeling well again.
These two simple words can mean so much to a person who may be feeling like the entire world is against him. But, you don't have to say a single word to get your message across. A hug or a gentle touch of the hand can speak volumes about what you are feeling. The important thing is to reach out to him and let him know that he matters to you.
Depression places a great weight on the person who has it, both physically and mentally, so there are probably many things you can do to ease the load as your friend recovers.

Please be aware however, he may be reluctant to accept your offer for fear of becoming a burden on you. So, make it clear that you don't mind at all. You are friends and you know he would do the same for you in a similar situation.

You should also be aware that he may feel so beaten down and tired from his depression that he doesn't even know himself what he might need. Be prepared with a few suggestions, just in case. For example, you might ask:

Could you use some help with housework or grocery shopping?

Would you like some company for awhile?

Would you like for me to drive you to your doctor appointments?

Sometimes the most important thing you can do for a depressed friend is to simply listen sympathetically while he talks about what is bothering him, allowing him to relieve the pressure of all his pent up feelings. The relief of this pressure may be enough to lessen his pain and allow him to carry on until treatment takes over and corrects his brain chemistry.

Depression can be a very lonely experience. It can feel as if no one understands what you are feeling or even cares to understand. When you reach out to a friend and let him know that you are going to be there for him every step of the way it can be very reassuring.

A common feeling among those who are depressed is that their lives don't matter, that no one would even care if they were gone. If you can sincerely tell your friend about all the ways that he does matter to you and to others around him this can help him to realize that he does have value and worth as a person.

Before you tell someone that you understand, you should be certain that you do. Have you ever experienced clinical depression? If you have, it may be helpful to your friend to realize that you have experienced what he is now feeling and were able to get better. However, if what you have been through was just a mild case of the blues that lasted only a short time, the he may feel as if you are trivializing his experience. In this case, it would be best to simply admit that you don't understand what he is going through, but you care about him and want to try.

Even though your friend's problems may seem minor to you, resist the urge to judge or come up with simple solutions. The biochemical imbalances associated with depression are what is driving how bad he feels about the situation, not the situation itself. Instead, let him know that you are sorry that he is feeling so bad and adopt an attitude of acceptance that this is how his depression is affecting him.

With depression, there is a tendency to feel like we are weak or there is something wrong with us. Depression may be an illness for others, but we feel that it's a character flaw for us. Reassure your friend that depression really is an illness caused by a biochemical imbalance in his brain. It does not mean he is weak. In fact, it takes a great deal of strength to fight back so he is probably much stronger than the average person.

While you are reassuring your friend that he has a real illness, you can also reassure him that there is hope, because, like any other medical illness, depression is treatable. Through the use of medications and therapy, he has a very good chance of returning to normal again.

What If I Say These Things and He Still Becomes Upset With Me?

It is possible that you can say all the "right" things and your friend will still becomes upset with you. Why? Because each person is an individual with his own unique thoughts and feelings. And, being angry and upset is the nature of the illness. Sometimes people will lash out at those trying to help them because they are hurting and they just don't know where to direct those bad feelings, so, whoever is nearby becomes a convenient target. If this happens with your friend, don't take it personally. Stay calm and continue to do what you can to love and support him in whatever way he will allow.

'For us the primary issue is learning to recognize that any relationship can be a teacher once you know how to take advantage of the teachings it brings. This idea of "relationship as teacher" is very basic to our approach and in our view it can be deeply healing to the process of relationship. When used in this way relationship can be a path to emotional and spiritual growth that is extraordinary in its scope and depth.'

Oh, Dream Team, what has become of you?
The team that was stacked with free-agent mercenaries that proclaimed themselves the Super Bowl favorite has crashed and burned in the most spectacular way.
The coaching has been bad; the naming of Juan Castillo as defensive coordinator may be one of the most boneheaded decisions of Andy Reid's coaching career.
As bad as the Eagles have been—and they have been awful this season—Andy Reid's job is secure. Much to the consternation of the Angelo Cataldis, Rhea Hughes and the, ugh, "Angry" Greg Ryans of the world, Andy Reid will be manning the sidelines for the Eagles in 2012.
As they play out the string of meaningless games, it's time to take stock and figure out where to go from here.

Over the past decade, Jimmie Johnson has been NASCAR's top dog and has won an unprecedented five consecutive drivers' Championships.
This run has placed Johnson firmly among the all-time great drivers in NASCAR, but it seems he is finally past his prime.
I'm not saying he is going to be washed up and never win anything ever again, just that he isn't the dominant driver he once was.
In this slideshow, I will defend my bold claim with my five reasons why Jimmie Johnson has peaked.

Its All About the Bris
After stops in New York City and Los Angeles, the 23rd Israel Film Festival has arrived in Miami. More than a dozen fascinating films are showing at the Sunrise Intracoastal 8 at 3701 NE 163rd St. in Miami. The festival coincides with the 60th anniversary of Israels tumultuous founding.
The Quest for the Missing Piece follows a gay man in Tel Aviv as he comes to grips with his identity and his bris. (Hence, the missing piece.) Jews are not known for proselytizing, but You Never Know is a documentary about a prolific Jewish musician, Schlomo Carlebach, who was sent to Frisco in the 60s. His task: to convert hippies with song. The reverse happened the Orthodox establishment cast him out when he fell in with flower power.
There are other gems. The Galilee Eskimos is about a bankrupt kibbutz: the residents have fled, leaving behind only the old people in the rest home. Ben-Gurion Remembers is an up-close look at Israel and includes interviews with Ben-Gurion, Golda Meir, and other Zionist heroes. It Kinda Scares Me is another homage to Israels 60th, but it has a gay flavor and stars a whole load of hot Mediterranean men. The films run from December 9 through 18. Tickets cost $11 or less. For complete listing and times, visit mi.israelfilmfestival.com, or call 877-966-5566.

Following the conclusion of the Mexican-American War (1846-1848) an organization for veterans of the war residing in Maryland was formed and headquartered in Baltimore.

Technique and condition
The lean, white priming has been brushed over the whole of the front of the plywood and runs slightly over the edges of the panel. Analysis indicates that the priming consists of a poly-vinyl acetate based standard household emulsion. It is fairly stiff in consistency with a texture of mainly horizontal brush marks. The texture of the plywood board is also apparent in some areas. The priming is left visible over much of the painting and forms an important part of the image.
The drawn and painted abstract shapes were applied thinly on top of the priming using a variety of techniques. First the position of most of the forms was established; sometimes with brief dashes of the pencil to mark an approximate position, but in other places with more complete outlines lightly drawn in pencil. Spray paint was then used to apply colour. Hard-edged blobs of mid blues and a transparent bright green (fluorescent in Ultra Violet light) appear to have been created by masking with stencils of some sort. Dark blue spray paint was used without masking to produce the larger, more diffuse shapes. In contrast the pale blue and brown paint (possibly oil paint) of the blobs on the left seem to have been applied with a brush. The thin meandering lines were then re-drawn in charcoal/soft graphite over the initial light drawing and black paint was brushed on to form the thick lines and small black blobs. The two hard-edged lines in the centre were produced using masking tape at both sides, which has left distinctive raised lines and little runs at the edges of the black paint. There are scattered speckles of bright green spray paint on top of the other colours and the white priming. These are so extensive that it seems they were applied intentionally, over most of the painting although they are hardly visible from viewing distance. There are also traces of the dark blue spray paint on the raised brush marks of the priming over much of the painting, particularly on the areas closest to the blue sprayed shapes.
There are several alterations by the artist. For example the horizontal element of the lower black masked line has been reduced in thickness by painting over it in white paint. Some areas show signs rubbing out, for example, a brown blob near the green blobs on the right has been sanded down and then painted out in white priming. There is a similar alteration at the edge of the mid-blue blob at the bottom. The different types of paint vary greatly in gloss and transparency and there is no varnish.
The painting is in good condition but is fragile and likely to be very sensitive to changes in humidity. The plywood support is very thin for its size and the canvas faced backing board is not stiff enough to support the painting. There are undulations between the points of attachment with the board and one large check in the face veneer of the plywood has developed, causing cracking in the priming/paint. More checks are likely to form in the future. The paint/priming are in good condition. There are numerous, but minor scuffs, scratches and abrasion, particularly at the edges and corners of the plywood board where there are some small losses. Many of these as well as the finger marks at edges of the painting may have occurred during the painting process or before the attachment of the painting to the backing board. There are pentimenti visible which will probably become more obvious as the paint changes differentially in the future.
The painting, mounted onto its canvas covered mounting board is framed by a simple box section shadow box of grey painted hardwood. The frame is glazed with perspex and has a canvas covered inner slip (spacer between glazing and mount) which matches the mounting board. The framing was carried out by Stewart Heslop Frames soon after the creation of the work, to the instructions of the artist. The frame is visually acceptable and in good condition, but it is too flimsy to give adequate support to the painting. Both the painting's hardboard backing and the acrylic glazing are very thin and flexible for the size of the work and their flexibility has allowed contact between the paint and the perspex, resulting in several small abrasion damages to the surface of the paint.

A Feature film by Jean Dréville
Produced by Lux Compagnie Cinématographique de France, Les Films Vendôme
Release in France : 25/11/1954
Lux Compagnie Cinématographique de France, Les Films Vendôme
Though the screenplay for La Reine Margot (The Queen Margot) was written by legendary filmmaker Abel Gance, the directorial reins were handled by Jean Dreville. Adapted from a novel by Alexandre Dumas, the film centers around Margot (Jeanne Moreau), the headstrong sister of France's King Charles IX (Robert Porte). Consigned to a politically expedient marriage to Huguenot prince Henry de Navarre (Andre Versini), Margot nonetheless carries on a romance with the handsome Count De la Mole (Armando Francioli). This romantic intrigue is played out against Charles' slaughter of the Huguenots, and the contrast is rather jarring. Francoise Rosay steals the show as Margot's mother, Queen Catherine.

It's a beautiful day — the sun is shining, the birds are chirping. What could be more perfect than a bike ride? But wait! Before you pull your bike out of the garage, let's find out how to stay safe on two wheels.
Bike riding is a lot of fun, but accidents happen. The safest way to use your bike is for transportation, not play. Every year, about 300,000 kids go to the emergency department because of bike injuries, and at least 10,000 kids have injuries that require a few days in the hospital. Some of these injuries are so serious that children die, usually from head injuries.
A head injury can mean brain injury. That's why it's so important to wear your bike helmet. Wearing one doesn't mean you can be reckless, but a helmet will provide some protection for your face, head, and brain in case you fall down.
Bike helmets are so important that the U.S. government has created safety standards for them. Your helmet should have a sticker that says it meets standards set by the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC). If your helmet doesn't have a CPSC sticker, ask your mom or dad to get you one that does. Wear a bike helmet EVERY TIME YOU RIDE, even if you are going for a short ride.
Your bike helmet should fit you properly. You don't want it too small or too big. Never wear a hat under your bike helmet. If you're unsure if your helmet fits you well, ask someone at a bike store.
Once you have the right helmet, you need to wear it the right way so it will protect you. It should be worn level and cover your forehead. Don't tip it back so your forehead is showing. The straps should always be fastened. If the straps are flying, it's likely to fall off your head when you need it most. Make sure the straps are adjusted so they're snug enough that you can't pull or twist the helmet around on your head.
Take care of your bike helmet and don't throw it around. That could damage the helmet and it won't protect you as well when you really need it. If you do fall down and put your helmet to the test, be sure to get a new one. They don't work as well after a major crash.
Many bike helmets today are lightweight and come in cool colors. If you don't love yours as it is, personalize it with some of your favorite stickers. Reflective stickers are a great choice because they look cool and make you more visible to people driving cars.
Riding a bike that is the right size for you also help keeps you safe.
Here's a safety checklist your mom or dad can help you do:
Wearing bright clothes and putting reflectors on your bike also can help you stay safe. It helps other people on the road see you. And if they see you, that means they're less likely to run into you. Daytime riding is the safest so try to avoid riding your bike at dusk and later.
You'll also want to make sure that nothing will get caught in your bike chain, such as loose pant legs, backpack straps, or shoelaces. Wear the right shoes — sneakers — when you bike. Sandals, flip-flops, shoes with heels, and cleats won't help you grip the pedals. And never go riding barefoot! Riding gloves may help you grip the handlebars — and make you look like a professional!
But avoid wearing headphones because the music can distract you from noises around you, such as a car blowing its horn so you can get out of the way.
You need to check with your mom and dad about where you're allowed to ride your bike. You need to know how far you're allowed to go and whether you should ride on the sidewalk or in the street. Kids younger than 10 years should ride on the sidewalk and avoid the street.
No matter where you ride, you need to keep an eye out for cars and trucks. Even if you're just riding on sidewalk, a car may pull out of its driveway into the path of your bike. If you're crossing a busy road, it's best to walk your bike across the street.
A bike path free of cars is a great choice if there's one in your area. Just remember to share the path with the other riders, walkers, and strollers who also might be using it! And if you're going on a long ride, bring some water along with you.
Keep an eye on the road ahead so you can be prepared for big hills and road obstacles. Some common ones that can cause falls include:
If you're allowed to ride on the street, follow these road rules:
It will also help to learn some hand signals. These are like turn signals and brake lights for bikers. It helps cars and trucks know what you will do next, so they don't run into you.
Now that you've learned those hand signals, we'd like to give you a big thumbs-up for finding out more about bike safety!

Nancy Jo Scamurra was just 14-years-old when she disappeared from her home near Buffalo. The year was 1984. Now 28 years later, police know what happened to her. "She was murdered, dismembered, decapitated, and disposed of," says Gene Sullivan, the Oswego County Undersheriff.
Two weeks after her disappearance, a torso was discovered in Lake Ontario near Oswego. But it took 28 years for authorities to link the two cases.
"Law enforcement in Oswego basically had these remains and no way to put a connection to any historical missing persons cases that they had. No way to connect the dots in this situation," says Ed Suk. He is the Executive Director of the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, NY Branch.
Now, DNA testing has confirmed a match. Suk says because of advances in technology we may soon see more and more cases like this, closed.
"We've seen a skyrocketing in the technology and skyrocketing in the use of DNA for a variety of situations. But when it comes to identifying remains and connecting cases from different law enforcement jurisdictions nationally and internationally, dna is key," Suk adds.

Guilty plea in Martins Ferry shooting death
Senior Services sparks debate
ST. CLAIRSVILLE – Belmont County Commissioners heard an objection to planned separation of Senior Services from the Department of Job and Family Services during Wednesday's meeting of the county commissioners.
Geary Battistelli, concerned citizen, addressed the board and proposed placing senior services under the control of the seniors through the creation of an advisory board with a finance committee person appointed by the commissioners, an appointee by the seniors and one by DJFS, answerable to the seniors.
He criticized laying off DJFS employees while planning to hire administrators. He noted that when Senior Services was defunded there was a $900,000 deficit projection. The last quarter projections from 2012 show an $833,000 surplus.
"There's no reason to upset the existing structure that you have on a subsidiary basis," he said, noting the use of passport, labor, Medicaid and other services. "It makes no sense to me to interrupt the funding mechanisms."
He said there is an advantage of merging the departments that handle child support and senior services to gather the most vulnerable citizens under one aegis.
He also objected to the planned resignation of DJFS Director Dwayne Pielech, noting his qualifications and familiarity with the operations and the potential for disruption in finding a new director who may lack this experience. He gave the opinion that Pielech might have faced a lack of cooperation from the commissioners.
Battistelli referred to commissioners' resolution from 1998, stating that for the purpose of allowing a department head to better operate without interference, all communications, directives and policy decisions from the board of commissioners should be in writing and signed by a majority of the board. He said he believed the provision had been violated.
Battistelli suggested hiring hourly laborers so less DJFS employees would do senior services work rather than hiring administrators.
He opinioned that the process of dividing the departments has been overly complicated and delayed during the past months.
"To allow the problem to go on and on and on is unnecessary," he said. "This will go on for months."
He requested commissioners rescind the vote accepting Pielech's resignation, establish a new Senior Services manager, and resolve the division.
Commissioner Matt Coffland reaffirmed his belief that the division of Senior Services from DJFS is a mistake. He said the numbers have not adequately convinced him that the move would be an improvement.
"There is a major divide here," he said, adding that there have been no complaints. "I feel that Job and Family Services are doing a fine job."
Commissioner Charles R. Probst, Jr. criticized Battistelli's speculations and said the facts of his presentation were not entirely accurate.

Excavations have revealed thousands of tombs, temples and monuments along the banks of the river Nile, and the best place to explore some of these relics are Luxor and Aswan. The two temples of Abu Simbel, the Temple of Ramses II and the Temple of Hathor, cut out of sandstone cliffs, are among the most magnificent in the world. The four colossal statues guarding the entrance to the Grand Hall of the Temple of Ramses will impress you. If you are interested in history, visit the Nubian Museum and also see the main place of worship in Theban times, the massive Temple of Karnak, an incredibly impressive structure. One of ancient Egypt's great architectural achievements, the Hypostyle Hall, is full of enormous stone pillars bearing engraved and painted inscriptions from the 12th Dynasty. The complex also contains the Avenue of the Sphinxes, the Sacred Lake, and many huge statues, halls, ornate wall murals, obelisks, and colonnades.

Ariad Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ:ARIA) based in Cambridge, MA, engages in the discovery and development of small-molecule drugs for the treatment of cancer. On Wednesday evening, the company released its 1Q 2011 earnings and hosted a conference Thursday morning discussing the report. Much of the report was expected; however, management announced that the pivotal phase 2 trial for ponatinib, called PACE, was on track for significantly early enrollment (six months early!). This is a pleasant surprise (which Ariad highlighted extensively in the press release) for investors as this may dramatically shorten the timeline to approval. Furthermore, cancer trials are notoriously slow for enrolling the required number of patients to achieve statistical significance, making this announcement welcome news.
PACE Trial: The PACE trial is a pivotal phase 2 clinical trial of its investigational pan-BCR-ABL inhibitor, ponatinib, in patients with resistant or intolerant chronic myeloid leukemia [CML) and Philadelphia positive acute lymphoblastic leukemia (Ph+ ALL). CML is a cancer of the white blood cells, and is diagnosed by detecting the Philadelphia chromosome (95% of patients CML have this chromosomal abnormality). However, the presence of the Philadelphia chromosome (Ph+) is not sufficiently specific to diagnose CML, since it is also found in acute lymphoblastic leukemia (Ph+ ALL, approximately 25-30% of adult patients). Depending on the specific nature of the chromosomes, the protein coded by this abnormality varies. Therefore, Ariad believes they have developed a broad-based inhibitor that can be effective as a 3rd generation therapy.
The PACE trial is a single arm, open label trial of oral ponatinib and is designed to determine the efficacy and safety in patients who are resistant or intolerant to either dasatinib or nilotinib, or who have the T315I mutation. The trial is designed to provide definitive clinical data for regulatory approval of ponatinib in this setting. The primary endpoints are major cytogenetic response rate for chronic phase patients and major hematologic response rate for accelerated or blast phase CML patients and Ph+ ALL patients. Secondary endpoints in the trial include major molecular response rate, duration of response, progression-free survival, and overall survival. Ponatinib has been granted orphan drug status in both the United States and Europe for the treatment of CML and Ph+ ALL. While the current front line drugs Gleevec (imatinib), dasatinib, and nilotinib have helped many patients and turned pushed 5 year survival rates near 90% for these once quickly fatal cancers, resistance is being developed. Furthermore, ultimately many patients fail the current first and second line therapies. Specifically, the T315I mutation represents a case in which the patient does not respond to any inhibitor, leaving them with no effective clinical remedy. Therefore, Ariad's phase 1 trial results must not be overlooked:
Of 18 patients who had the T315I mutation in the study, 67 percent had chronic-phase disease and nine were evaluable for response: 100 percent (all 18) achieved both a complete hematologic response (CHR) and an MCyR; eight achieved CCyR. The MCyR rate in patients without the T315I mutation was 55 percent (16 of 29).
Although single-armed studies might scare away potential investors, the author believes this trial is appropriately designed based on the nature of CML and Ph+ ALL. With widely accepted measures of the disease being used as endpoints and the fact these patients have no current treatment options (they have failed/resistance/intolerance to 2nd line therapy), this study will be able to determine the efficacy and safety of ponatinib. On Thursday's conference call, the optimism was evident in the analyst questions when management was asked about initiating trials for first-line therapy. Management is clearly optimistic as well, as evidenced by their exercise of the co-promote option with Merck for ridaforolimus. This will set the foundation for an oncology sales-force, presumably to market both ridaforolimus as well as future drugs. While the author has not extensively addressed the dynamics of the oncology field with respect to prescriptions and number of physicians, Ariad has been aware of the issue (last quarter's conference call) and has likely weighted the positives and negatives.
First Quarter Highlights: Ariad's strong balance sheet is clearly a positive. For the three-month period that ended March 31, 2011, cash used in operations was $17.3 MM, compared to cash used in operations of $14.3 million for the corresponding period in 2010. In addition, cash flows for the first quarter of 2011 included $7.6 million in proceeds from the exercise of warrants and $4.4 million in proceeds resulting from an amendment to ARIAD's term-loan agreement. The Company ended the first quarter of 2011 with cash and cash equivalents of $98.4 million, compared to $103.6 million at December 31, 2010. While the cash burn has slowed for ridaforolimus due to restructuring of the company's agreement with Merck, this was offset by an increase in expenses related to development of ponatinib. The author does not believe the net-loss increase (to $37.9 MM) is cause for concern, given that this is a non-cash charge related to warrant liability (and Ariad's higher common stock price during the quarter).
Per the previous guidance, Ariad plans to spend approximately $53-56 MM for all of 2011 and management anticipates cash of $59-62 MM at the end of the year (assuming $25 MM milestone payment for NDA filing by Merck and following modification of a term loan and warrant exercise earlier this year). Management believes this will be sufficient to last through 2012.
AP26113 is in preclinical trials with an expected IND filing in the middle of the year. According to Ariad, this compound has significantly higher potency than the investigative ALK inhibitor by Pfizer and inhibits mutated forms of ALK that have become resistant, something I view quite positively, and eerily similar to ponatinib. Ariad expects to file an IND to begin clinical trials this summer. Preclinical data will be presented in early July at a conference in Amsterdam.
Risk Factors: While clearly there is an unmet need for treatments for sarcomas, the broad applicability of ridaforolimus is not guaranteed. Furthermore, statements from the SUCCEED trial press release raise the issue of how much pricing power and applicability Merck/Ariad will have. In this age of rising health-care costs, convincing insurers and benefit providers that a statistically significant couple of weeks (almost 2 months) are worth a high price tag (~$50,000 per year) is not trivial.
Conclusions and Future Directions: Globally, with multiple candidates in various stages of clinical development, Ariad's eggs are now in multiple baskets. With both ridaforolimus (on track for Merck to file an NDA later this year) and ponatinib possibly able to receive marketing approval in late 2012 (best case scenario), the company is nearing sustained profitability. In addition, we expect the company to further its preclinical pipeline this year and possibly expand current treatments for other oncology indications. The author also views favorably the licensing of non-core assets as providing future upside potential, as he believes the partners will utilize their expertise to create value for both parties and allow Ariad to focus on its oncology program. The author is looking forward to full data from the SUCCEED trial (ridaforolimus) and data from ponatinib in the coming months.
Disclosure: I have no positions in any stocks mentioned, and no plans to initiate any positions within the next 72 hours.

NEWARK - Police evacuated a senior housing complex following a report that an armed man had barricaded himself inside a building.
Police were called to the Stephen Crane apartments just after noon Tuesday. Witnesses say an altercation between two men on the sixth floor of 60 Cedar Lane resulted in at least one man being stabbed or shot. A second man was thought to be held up inside the building.
SWAT teams arriving at the scene evacuated residents and searched the entire building but did not find a suspect.

Police have not released information on any suspects or injuries.
Residents were allowed back into their homes at around 4 p.m.
This is the second time in recent days that there has been an incident at the complex. Last week a woman fell to her death from a 10th story window in the building next door.
Newark police would not elaborate on what happened today, saying only that it is part of an ongoing investigation.

The launch of Awareness Cards with helpline telephone numbers, was held at the Rochestown Park Hotel in Cork on November 17th.
Pat Falvey Patron of Suicide Aware, who was a guest speaker at the event, thanked all of those who give their time and effort in support of this cause.
Pat spoke about the need of us as a community coming together to help others and how suicide and depression are now one of our greatest health problems, one that has, for far to long, been brushed under the carpet. Yet there is not one person in the country that does not know someone who is suffering from depression or someone who has taken their lives over the past fifteen years.
This event was attended by many sports and high profile Irish people giving their support for a progressive program of fundraising to help fight a plague of raising depression and suicide in Ireland.
Munster Rugby endorsement:
The evening was also the launch of the Munster Rugby nomination of Cork Cancer Aware as one of their three charities for next year. The Munster Rugby team was represented by Garret Fitzgerald and Irish player Mick O Driscoll who applauded the work done by the organisation in showing initiative in the importance of having people trained to help those in need of advice and assistance in this area.
(CSR Plan) Garret and Mick spoke about how Munster Rugby were honoured to have selected Suicide Aware as one of their three nominated charities for 2011-2012, as part of their Corporate Social Responsibility Plan.
Crime Correspondent/Author: Paul Williams, the highly successful crime writer and author was the guest speaker and formally launched the initiative. He took a really hard stand on the influence of drugs on the ever increasing problem and of the crime lords here in Ireland that have zero consideration for the damage they cause in their persuit of making money out of the misery of others. He branded them as 'scumbags of our society' and that they should be caught and the keys thrown away for the misery and violence they bring to Ireland. Drugs are a major contributor to depression and suicide and Paul as guest speaker, gave a great insight to the life of the drug lords and their violent ways.
Host for the night was radio presenter and PR consultant Mick Mulcathy. Other speakers on the night were Ian Delahunty who spoke of personal experience of the tragedy of families when a loved one commits suicide. He spoke emotionally about how his father took his own life and the effects it had on him and the family.
The night was brought to a close by founding member Pat Beahan thanking everyone for their support and help.
Further information on fundraising events and Suicide Aware's mission and vision can be found on www.suicideaware.ie or contact Pat Beahan on 087 9454202.

Pat Falvey speaking at a recent conference in Ireland. Please contact us for more details or to request further information regarding your event.
Pat Falvey was a guest speaker at the recent Invest Ireland Forum which was hosted by DCU Ryan Academy and Arizona State University. His presentation was on the spirit of adventure, entrepreneurship and success in a challenging, changing world. It was colourful, entertaining and brought home the attributes needed to succeed in a changing world.
The forum was a joint collaboration, bringing together venture capitalists, angel investors and the top companies in Ireland.
Mary Horan Chief Executive of the DCU Ryan Academy spoke about the fact that she hoped that this was just the first of Invest Ireland's many forums and thanked the American investors for showing such great interest in investing in Ireland and it's future.
The event was a hugely successful for both investors and the participating companies.
After the event Pat said "Ireland is still alive with amazing ideas with top class mangers and entrepreneurs that will ensure our country will always be one of the major places for investment by investors throughout the world."
Later that day, Pat flew off to Nepal to lead a group of Irish celebrities raise money for the street children of Calcutta for the Irish HOPE Foundation.

Pat Falvey has just returned from his well publicized expedition to The Himalaya with a group of Irish celebrities who were each given a task to push themselves Beyond their Endurance to achieve a task that most would have said would be impossible to achieve. Pat flew into Cork city to presented a lecture to an enthusiastic group of over a 100 entrepreneurial students at Cork University of Ireland who are members of the Entrepreneurial & Social Society.
His lecture on "Succeeding in a Recession" was based on his acclaimed presentation on Leadership and the 'Attributes of Success'.
"The Psychology Of Success" focuses on the ability for those with aspirations to succeed as a entrepreneur in a challenging and changing world.
His presentation focused on self belief, having vision and the benefit of a positive attitude in a changing environment. He spoke about the creation of new opportunities for those that seek them, in particular young blood with dreams. He spoke on the negativity besetting those that see no future and suggested that we look at the good the recession will bring. He said that we should look at our present status in time as a period of 'pre-boom time' and how to find ourselves. There are many opportunities for young enthusiastic entrepreneurs that believe! His message to the young audience was not to see failure as an end game but to see mistakes as a opportunity to learn.
His parting advice was to be confident no matter what life throws at you and don't give up your dreams and always have a 'go-for-it attitude.'
"On behalf of the committee of the Entrepreneurial and Social Society in University College Cork, please accept my most sincere thanks. We thoroughly enjoyed your visit to University College Cork and it was a pleasure listening to your presentation which was as colourful, intriguing, interesting, motivating and captivating as you are Pat." ~ David Murray

First on the agenda was night navigation around the island. They returned to a welcomed cup of soup and sandwich. The team went through the briefing for the weekend. Then retired to try and sleep for the night.
Up at 05.00, given a map and coordinates they had to search out their food for breakfast. Some were lucky, others were not, but everyone shared what they had found. After all were fed it was down to business. Each was given 25kg packs and made run the 5km run to the first tower. When they got there they thought they had finished but this was not to be, they had to run to the other tower as well. Next evaluation was the water confidence training instruction. This was to build up there confidence in tough and hostile environment. After this was the assault course, stretcher run, and finished up with some close quarter combat.

Today in the Cork Examiner - The team claims they have reached their Everest after been swept from their goal on many occasions in rescent years! Just as they were about to reach their summit beaten by the Green and Gold avalanche of their neighbours Kerry. (insert smile here)
In reaching their summit today they contribute one of the elements to their success was their miliarty boot camp training in Bear Island last Easter on the 2nd of April.
The squad's training camp in Bere Island off West Cork earlier this year – details of which were revealed in his All-Ireland diary in yesterday's Irish Examiner by John Hayes – has been identified as a pivotal moment in their season.

This contributed to their belief of never giving up until the final whistle and that getting to the top was like eating an elephant that it was to take each stage of the game like eating the elephant and that was to take each stage bite by bite and to never give up until they had the elephant eaten.

157,000 viewers tuned in to TV3's Midweek programme to watch adventurer and explorer Pat Falvey and Teena Gates, Head of News at Dublin's 98FM discuss the forthcoming Hope Challenge 2010 when Pat leads a group of celebrities to Everest Base Camp, and maybe beyond. The program was hosted by Collette Fitzpatrick.
Teena joins Jenny Kavanagh who plays Cleo in Fair City, RTE TV Presenter Rob Ross, Extreme Artist Philip Graye, actor George McMahon and a support team, to battle it out against the elements and walk to the highest frontiers of the planet.
The added challenge of Island Peak beckons for some members of the team who make it beyond Base Camp and the ever present risk of altitude sickness to tackle an ice-wall and a difficult ridge climb.
TV3 viewers were astounded to hear that perhaps the most unlikely member of the team, Teena, had lost 10 stone in the past year as part of a battle back to fitness and tough preparations for the challenge ahead. The radio journalist got a similar reaction when she returned to her desk at 98FM, with the top Dublin station inundated with phone calls and texts from listeners offering support and donations for the challenge. The team head off on September 30th and they are passionately appealing for support for their campaign to raise funds for the Hope Foundation and street children in Calcutta. You can follow the team's progress and make a donation on the Hope Foundation website www.hopechallenge2010.com

One of them... firefighting.
Over the weekend, local firefighters proved their dedication to serving our community doesn't end when their shifts do.
For weeks, even months, they've trained for Sunday's moment under the Columbia Center Tower in Seattle.
Inside the tower, it's preparation, mixed with pomp and procession.
Outside, 69 floors tower above the first wave of competitors.
And the only way up 1,311 steps is with 55 pounds of gear on their backs.
"I think nerves play into this," said Boise firefighter Rich Brown. "I think I'm more nervous about this than I am about going into a fire."
Brown is the team's highest fundraiser, on a department with the highest amount raised: $39,000 and climbing.
Brown's buddy in the stairwell is Nampa Fire's David O'Connor, who's amped up under the pressure.
"Hopefully the beat's fast enough," he said in line, ready to climb. "I have old school Marky Mark, so good vibrations."
But a look at who this is about becomes a reality check of why they're here.
Brown carries a photo of a boy named Gabriel, the son of an Ada County Dispatcher, battling Leukemia since 2011.
And there are more.
"This is Calvin down in Arizona," O'Connor said, pointing to a picture on his leg. "Calvin just went through 9 hours of surgery last week. So it's a huge, huge deal."
"Jason Werst passed away in 2011 in advance of last year's climb," Brown said, pointing to his helmet which bears Werst's name. "Last year was pretty rough to take, you know, you lose one of your best friends. It's horrible."
Firefighters will tell you this is a competition.
It is a race to the top and the fastest guys climb all 69 flights in 10 minutes.
Some need a bottle change on the 40th floor, but not Rich Brown, because the climb is nothing compared to what these firefighters call the real heroes.
"On every floor level, there's someone that's been affected by leukemia, lymphoma and that's what drives me and I'm sure that's what drives Rich," said O'Connor.
And this climb isn't just about their connection to each other, but a greater good.
"It's great to know you've got a brotherhood and a sisterhood that will spend this much time and effort not just on climbing, which is such a small portion of this, but they'll spend blood, sweat and tears to try and get people to donate money to the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society," Brown said at the top of the tower, on the 69th floor.
And for O'Connor, reaching the top is only setting the benchmark... for next year.
"It's brutal, but we did it," O'Connor said. "Between the two of us, we raised almost 20 grand. Between our two departments, we're almost 60 thousand."
Nearly 1500 firefighters from 177 teams competed in Seattle on Sunday.
The Treasure Valley's local teams included Boise, Nampa, Eagle, and Caldwell.
Of all the race times, the Boise Fire Department came in third overall.
Nampa Fire's team remains in the top ten, and the Boise Fire Department remains in first place for fundraising.
Brown is within a couple hundred dollars of being the top, individual fundraiser.
You can still donate through the end of March.
Donations are tax-deductible.
