Saving Ancient Egypt, One Tweet At A Time: How Social Media Is Saving One Of The World's Oldest Civilizations
SAFE/Saving Antiquities For Everyone
Thursday, April 10, 2014 from 6:30 PM to 8:00 PM (PDT)
Who's Going
San Francisco, California
London, United Kingdom
Florence, Italy
Event Details
Event is FREE, registration required via SAFE's registration form
Home to some of the world's oldest civilizations, Egypt has had a profound influence on the cultures of Europe, the Middle East, and Africa. For centuries, Egyptian archaeological sites have been looted - most recently to feed the black market trade of antiquities. Since the 2011 uprising, the situation has become increasingly acute.
In this talk, archaeologist Dr. Monica Hanna will discuss how she risks her own career and life to expose the problem. Using social media to their fullest potential, her efforts have led to the actual recovery of stolen objects. Dr. Hanna will share images and videos of looted objects and sites, and show us what is actually happening to Egypt's history today. She will explain how this is not a problem for Egypt or archaeologists alone, but a crisis that affects all of us. She will conclude with potential solutions and suggestions as to how ordinary citizens can help.
Dr. Hanna will be in New York to receive the 2014 Beacon Award from the nonprofit organization SAFE/Saving Antiquities for Everyone, which recognizes outstanding achievement in raising public awareness about our endangered cultural heritage and the devastating consequences of the illicit antiquities trade. Since 2004, awards have been presented to authors, journalists, professors, law enforcement professionals, and archaeologists.

Hi, we're Greg and Jody Brandao from Baton Rouge, LA, and our unit at Blue Heron is our only vacation property. We really enjoy Orlando and its many tourist attractions. We obtained our Blue Heron condo to provide a place for family fun, but we're not able to get there often enough. However, we also enjoy sharing the unit with other families who vacation in Orlando. The complex is family friendly and you can find lots to do on the property if you want to take a break from the parks.

Liberty University in Lynchburg, Virginia, has announced plans to build a $3 million, state-of-the-art gun range on its campus.
The university's president, Jerry Falwell, announced the plans Tuesday after the county unanimously approved the proposal. The gun range will sit on a 500-acre plot of campus land and will include a pistol range, three rifle ranges, a police shoot house and skeet and trap shooting.
Falwell discussed the gun range Friday on Fox News' "Fox and Friends."
"We have a mountain on campus, and we thought we'd use it for recreation," Falwell said. "We've been able to avoid a lot of the sexual assault problems that you see at a lot of universities by giving students positive alternatives to keep them busy and to keep them entertained. The shooting range will be part of that."
The gun range won't only be for students at Liberty University but will also be open to members of the community and law enforcement.
The range will be the first National Rifle Association-supported gun range at an American university and the first NCAA-certified outdoor shooting range that can be used for all Olympic shooting sports, according to the university's proposal.
The university hopes to have the range open by Labor Day.

Matthew McConaughey volunteered with Meals on Wheels on Thanksgiving and decided to continue doing good deeds during the holiday season by helping out his alma mater.
The Texas college alum joined student volunteers in the SURE Walk program to give those staying late on campus some company on their way home. SURE stands for Students United for Rape Elimination.
The Student Government program at the university offers Longhorns who don't want to walk home alone a male and female companion to walk with. Since its inception, the program has expanded with the help of various other student organizations to multiple locations across the 40 acres and even acquired some wheels to transport students faster.
The school posted a photo of McConaughey driving some students back to their residences.
"Longhorns take care of each other, and it's 'safe' to say Matthew McConaughey agrees," a post of Facebook reads. "Don't forget to use SURE Walk when traveling home late at night; you never know who might pick you up."
SURE Walk operates from 7 p.m. to 2 a.m. Monday through Sunday. SURE Walkers can be requested by phone or email.

A college student said she felt "disrespected and invalidated" when her professor wrote a discriminatory comment while editing an essay the student wrote for class.
On the paper, she said the professor wrote, "Please go back and indicate where you cut and paste." She also said the professor circled "hence" on the paper and wrote, "This is not your word."
Suffolk University senior Tiffany Martínez wrote about her experience in a blog post titled "Academia, Love Me Back" on Thursday. She wrote that the professor "challenged (her) intelligence" in front of other students in her class.
"This morning, my professor handed me back a paper (a literature review) in front of my entire class and exclaimed 'this is not your language,'" Martínez wrote. "On the top of the page (she) wrote in blue ink: 'Please go back and indicate where you cut and paste.' ... They assumed that the work I turned in was not my own ... On the second page the professor circled the word 'hence' and wrote in between the typed lines 'This is not your word.'"

Martínez told Buzzfeed News that the professor "spoke loudly enough that students at the back of the room heard and asked if (she) was OK after class."
"I spent the rest of the class going back through every single line, every single citation to make sure that nothing had been plagiarized, even though I knew I hadn't," she told Buzzfeed.
Martínez, a Latina with aspirations of earning a Ph.D and becoming a college professor, wrote that she has battled stereotypes throughout her academic career. She discussed the disappointment she has felt with consistent assumptions that she is "weak, unintelligent and incapable."
"As a minority in my classrooms, I continuously hear my peers and professors use language that both covertly and overtly oppresses the communities I belong to," she wrote. "In the journey to become a successful student, I swallow the 'momentary' pain from these interactions and set my emotions aside so I can function productively as a student."
After Martínez's post gained attention online, Suffolk University president Marisa Kelly released a statement saying the school "must redouble efforts to create a more inclusive environment."
"Suffolk University is committed to making every member of our community feel welcomed, valued and respected," Kelly wrote. "I take (Martínez's) concern seriously on behalf of the institution as the acting president, and I take it seriously as an individual personally committed to diversity and inclusion."
Kelly also announced that faculty members will go through mandatory microagression training sessions on how to better interact with students.

An 8-year-old was offered admission into a Texas university after her mother sent the school a video of the girl.
Jordin Phipps proudly sported a University of North Texas T-shirt while talking to the camera as her mother recorded her.
"(I'm going to) start my day in a positive way," Phipps said. "I will be respectful with the words I say. I will pay attention, and I will do my best, and I will study hard for every test."
The motivational pep talk was a presentation of a daily message that Phipps and her classmates at Watson Technology Center in Garland, Texas, recite at school.
"I will take advantage of what my teachers have to give. I will become a productive citizen in this world," Phipps said. "I am smart. I am a leader. Failure is not an option for me. Success is only moments away. I have the attitude of a North Texas eagle."
After seeing the video, UNT officials surprised Phipps at an assembly at her school and awarded her a $10,000 Presidential Excellence award, which is normally given to high school seniors. She was also guaranteed a spot in UNT's class of 2030.
Phipps' mother, Nichole Smith, is a University of North Texas alumna.

What do Hempstead, New York; St. Louis, Missouri; and Las Vegas, Nevada, all have in common with Farmville, Virginia?
Besides being home to universities, they don't have much in common. But each of the cities has been named the site of presidential and vice presidential debates.
Never heard of Farmville? Most people probably hadn't until the Commission on Presidential Debates announced the vice presidential debate would be held there.
The town also has strong historical roots: The Civil War's Battle of High Bridge took place nearby, and it's home to what The Atlantic called "the forgotten school" in the Brown v. Board of Education case. Three-quarters of the plantiffs in that case were actually students at the nearby high school.
An East Tennessee State University student has been charged with civil rights intimidation after heckling Black Lives Matter demonstrators at a peaceful silent protest on the school's campus.
Tristan Rettke, an ETSU freshman, arrived at the protest at Borchuck Plaza at the school's campus barefoot in a gorilla mask and denim overalls.
Video footage showed him attempting to hand out "noose-wrapped bananas" from a burlap sack to the demonstrators. The sack had a marijuana leaf and a Confederate flag printed on it.
"He pulled out his burlap sack and then he had the rope and whatnot and then he started offering us bananas," said Jaylen Grimes, one of the demonstrators. "A lot of us didn't take it, but I just took (it) as a sign of peace offering and just to show him that just because he's being disrespectful towards me, I won't be disrespectful towards him."
As part of his counterprotest efforts, Rettke held up a sign that said "Lives Matter."
A video posted by The Shade Room (@theshaderoom) on Sep 28, 2016 at 7:54pm PDT
"He's just trying to get a reaction out of us that we're not going to give him. We're bigger than that," said one protestor who held a sign that read "Black Lives Matter (doesn't mean) all lives don't (matter).
Rettke, 18, was escorted from the protest by public safety officers and was later criminally charged by the Johson City Police Department.
Rettke told police he went to the event "in (an) attempt to provoke the protesters."
ETSU President Brian Noland held a press conference Wednesday after seeing video of the incident. He discussed the event during a "community dialogue" on campus.
"I was offended, but I was also saddened," Noland said, calling Rettke's actions "incomprehensible, intolerable and impermissible."
Rettke has been placed on interim suspension from the college.
In a statement, ETSU said Rettke's actions "go against the values" of the school and that the university is a place "where people come first and all are treated with dignity and respect."
The university applauded the protestors for remaining clam despite Rettke's actions.
"We are exceptionally proud of the students who were peacefully participating in the event and the manner in which they exercised restraint, thoughtfulness and strength in the face of inappropriate and offensive behavior," Noland said.
"Of course, it's hard to stay calm because they're doing it because they know they can get under your skin," Grimes told The Johnson City Press. "You've just got to have thicker skin and be the bigger person and just show that ignorance is not going to override your ability to be calm. Because being calm is a lot more difficult than reacting the way they want us to react, which is in a violent stereotypical black way. But we're not all like that."
"We hold no ill towards him," another student, Grant Madison said. "I added him on Facebook and want to speak with him about why he did it."

A student at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill is speaking out after she said she was raped in February, but the university took no action.
"My life has changed forever, while the person who assaulted me remains as a student and a football player on this campus," Delaney Robinson said Tuesday.
Robinson said her attacker is Allen Artis, a linebacker on their school's football team. The 19-year-old sophomore told the media that she was taking the incident public because she was dissatisfied with how the college was handling the alleged rape.
"I did everything a rape victim is supposed to do. I reported it. I allowed the rape kit to be taken. I gave a statement. I cooperated with law enforcement and the Title IX office," Robinson said in a statement. "But six months later, the university has done nothing. I'm taking this public stand not for me but for the other students on campus who are not protected, despite what the university tells us."
Robinson and her attorney spent six months pushing for Artis' expulsion, The Daily Mail reported.
According to Robinson, the assault occurred at on-campus housing on Valentine's Day. She told authorities that Artis, 21, laid on top of her, pinning her down with his weight while raping her.
A photo taken by Robinson shows purple marks on her neck that are said to be bruises inflicted by Artis on the night of the rape.
"Yes, I was drinking that night on Valentine's Day," Robinson said. "I'm underage, and I take responsibility for that, but that doesn't give anyone the right to violate me. I did not deserve to be raped."
Robinson said she went to a hospital after the incident and told a sexual-assault nurse what she could remember of the incident. She had a rape kit completed and was later questioned by the university's Department of Public Safety investigators, who filed an incident report. The rape kit documented "blunt force trauma" and "bruising consistent with a physical assault."
But Robinson, originally from Apex, North Carolina, said she was "quizzed" with "humiliating" and accusatory" questions.
"Did I lead him on? Have I hooked up with him before? Do I often have one-night stands? Did I even say no? What is my sexual history? How many men have I slept with? I was treated like a suspect," she said she was asked.
Robinson said she later heard a recording of Artis' interview with the DPS.
"They told him, 'Don't sweat it, just keep on living your life and playing football,'" she said. "They even laughed with him when he told them how many girls' phone numbers he had managed to get on the same night he raped me."
According to Robinson's lawyer, Denise Branch UNC Chapel Hill's Title IX office, the unit that examines sexual discrimination at universities, has been investigating the case.
Orange County District Attorney Jim Woodall said a felony investigation is still underway.
"There is no question that there was physical contact, but what the circumstances are surrounding the contact are what investigators are trying to determine."
"The Hunting Ground," a CNN documentary that spotlighted sexual assaults on college campuses in the country, reported that UNC Chapel Hill received 136 sexual assault reports between 2001 and 2013, but that none of the reports resulted in expulsions.
In a statement, the university said it "is deeply committed to the safety and well-being of ... students and takes all allegations about sexual violence or sexual misconduct extremely seriously."
Artis was charged Tuesday with sexual battery and assault on a female after Robinson requested a misdemeanor warrant, allowable under North Carolina law. Artis turned himself in at a magistrate's court Wednesday morning.
He was released on a $5,000 unsecured bond, and his next court date is Sept. 29.
Artis, originally from Marietta, Georgia, was suspended from the football team pending the outcome of the case.
Robinson and her father, Stacey Robinson, have both released statements.
Georgetown University is taking steps to atone for its historical ties to slavery.
The plan includes giving the descendants of slaves the same admissions advantages that children of alumni receive. Two buildings on campus will also be renamed.
One will honor Anne Marie Becraft, an African-American woman who opened a school for black girls in the Georgetown area, and the other will commemorate one of the slaves sold to help pay off the university's debt.
In 1838, Georgetown University sold 272 slaves to pay off some of the school's debt. The slaves were uprooted from Maryland and sent to Louisiana.
A letter sent out by University of Chicago officials warned incoming students that they won't find any "intellectual safe spaces" on the school's campus.
The letter goes on to acknowledge that the university is committed to "freedom of inquiry and expression" and encourages each student to challenge and broaden their perspectives on issues.
"You will find that we expect members of our community to be engaged in rigorous debate, discussion and even disagreement," the letter read. "At times, this may challenge you and even cause discomfort.
"Our commitment to academic freedom means that we do not support so-called 'trigger warnings,' we do not cancel invited speakers because their topics might prove controversial, and we do not condone the creation of intellectual 'safe spaces' where individuals can retreat from ideas and perspectives at odds with their own."
The letter pointed students to more information on freedom of expression and quotes a former president of the university, Hanna Holborn Gray, as saying that "education should not be intended to make people comfortable, it is meant to make them think."
The University of Chicago is ranked as one of the top and most selective universities in the country. Less than 8 percent of the more than 31,000 people who applied to enter the class of 2020 were accepted by the school, according to The Chicago Maroon.
Most high school seniors have received college acceptance letters by April and must decide which schools they'll attend by May.
For those with more than one offer, the decision can be tough -- especially if you're Brittany Stinson, a graduating senior from Wilmington, Delaware.

Stinson recently got accepted to five Ivy League schools -- Yale, Columbia, University of Pennsylvania, Dartmouth and Cornell -- and Stanford University.
Stanford's acceptance rate for the class of 2020 hit a record low of 4.69 percent -- a lower rate than any of the Ivy League schools. The highest acceptance rate of the schools she was accepted to was at Cornell, where only 13.96 percent of applicants were accepted.
"I'm sort of still in shock. I don't think I've processed everything yet," she told Business Insider.
Stinson, who compared Costco Wholesale to the larger world in her college admissions essay, shared the essay online:Prompt: Some students have a background, identity, interest, or talent that is so meaningful they believe their application would be incomplete without it. If this sounds like you, then please share your story. "Managing to break free from my mother's grasp, I charged. With arms flailing and chubby legs fluttering beneath me, I was the ferocious two year old rampaging through Costco on a Saturday morning. My mother's eyes widened in horror as I jettisoned my churro; the cinnamonsugar rocket gracefully sliced its way through the air while I continued my spree. I sprinted through the aisles, looking up in awe at the massive bulk products that towered over me. Overcome with wonder, I wanted to touch and taste, to stick my head into industrialsized freezers, to explore every crevice. I was a conquistador, but rather than searching the land for El Dorado, I scoured aisles for free samples. Before inevitably being whisked away into a shopping cart, I scaled a mountain of plush toys and surveyed the expanse that lay before me: the kingdom of Costco. "Notorious for its oversized portions and dollarfifty hot dog combo, Costco is the apex of consumerism. From the days spent being toted around in a shopping cart to when I was finally tall enough to reach lofty sample trays, Costco has endured a steady presence throughout my life. As a veteran Costco shopper, I navigate the aisles of foodstuffs, thrusting the majority of my weight upon a generously filled shopping cart whose enormity juxtaposes my small frame. Over time, I've developed a habit of observing fellow patrons tote their carts piled with frozen burritos, cheese puffs, tubs of ice cream, and weightloss supplements. Perusing the aisles gave me time to ponder. Who needs three pounds of sour cream? Was cultured yogurt any more wellmannered than its uncultured counterpart? Costco gave birth to my unfettered curiosity. "While enjoying an obligatory hot dog, I did not find myself thinking about the 'all beef' goodness that Costco boasted. I instead considered finitudes and infinitudes, unimagined uses for tubs of sour cream, the projectile motion of said tub when launched from an eighty foot shelf or maybe when pushed from a speedy cart by a scrawny seventeen year old. I contemplated the philosophical: If there exists a thirtythree ounce jar of Nutella, do we really have free will? I experienced a harsh physics lesson while observing a shopper who had no evident familiarity of inertia's workings. With a cart filled to overflowing, she made her way towards the sloped exit, continuing to push and push while steadily losing control until the cart escaped her and went crashing into a concrete column, 52" plasma screen TV and all. Purchasing the yuletide hickory smoked ham inevitably led to a conversation between my father and me about Andrew Jackson's controversiality. There was no questioning Old Hickory's dedication; he was steadfast in his beliefs and pursuits – qualities I am compelled to admire, yet his morals were crooked. We both found the ham to be more likeable–and tender. "I adopted my exploratory skills, fine tuned by Costco, towards my intellectual endeavors. Just as I sampled buffalochicken dip or chocolate truffles, I probed the realms of history, dance and biology, all in pursuit of the ideal cart–one overflowing with theoretical situations and notions both silly and serious. I sampled calculus, crosscountry running, scientific research, all of which are now household favorites. With cart in hand, I do what scares me; I absorb the warehouse that is the world. Whether it be through attempting aerial yoga, learning how to chart blackbody radiation using astronomical software, or dancing in front of hundreds of people, I am compelled to try any activity that interests me in the slightest. "My intense desire to know, to explore beyond the bounds of rational thought; this is what defines me. Costco fuels my insatiability and cultivates curiosity within me at a cellular level. Encoded to immerse myself in the unknown, I find it difficult to complacently accept the 'what'; I want to hunt for the 'whys' and dissect the 'hows.' In essence, I subsist on discovery."

Axiom Pulls U.A.E.'s First IPO in Two Years on Market Concerns
Axiom Ltd., a mobile-phone retailer based in Dubai, canceled plans to raise at least $100 million in an initial public offering, dealing a blow to expectations of a market recovery as the emirate grapples with a debt crisis.
The company abandoned the IPO because of "widespread concerns about market conditions and liquidity," Axiom said in a statement yesterday. It had orders for all the shares, which were slated to begin trading on Nasdaq Dubai on Dec. 9, the company said. An Axiom spokesman declined to comment further.
Dubai's economy is struggling to recover from a 2009 slump and the weight of about $112 billion of debt amid fears that some government-owned entities won't be able to refinance loans. The Bloomberg GCC 200 Index has gained 11 percent this year, trailing the MSCI Emerging Markets Index's 14 percent increase.
"I didn't see Axiom as expensive at all," Fadi Al Said, head of equities at ING Investment Management (Dubai) Ltd., said by phone today. "People were a little skeptical about Nasdaq Dubai as the experience with listings there has not been good."
Axiom cut the maximum price at which it would sell the shares to $1 each on Dec. 2, according to a term sheet for the sale obtained by Bloomberg News. The company had been offering the shares for 80 cents to $1.15 previously, a range that would have valued Axiom at $760 million to $1.1 billion. The share offering was open to institutional investors only.
DP World Ltd., the world's fourth-biggest port operator, interiors contractor Depa Ltd. and jewelry retailer Damas Ltd. have all performed poorly after their Nasdaq Dubai listings.
Growth Plans
Axiom had planned to use some of the money to finance growth and at least $100 million to pay debt, Chief Executive Officer Faisal Al Bannai said on Nov. 21. Deutsche Bank AG, Citigroup Inc. and Dubai-based investment bank Shuaa Capital PSC were arranging Axiom's share sale.
"Even at the low end, Axiom was pricey, with very low net profit margin," Shehzad Janab, asset management head at Dubai- based Daman Investments PSC, said in an e-mail today. "That the deal has been pulled is not good for the U.A.E. market."
An offer price of 80 cents values Axiom's shares at about 8.5 times to 9.5 times its estimated 2011 earnings, Al Said at ING said. The company "has about 60 percent market share with no reliance on one brand" and its earnings could have grown at a rate in the "high teens" over the next three years, he said.
Market Valuations
Jarir Marketing Co., a Saudi Arabia-based retailer and wholesaler of office supplies and engineering products, trades at an estimated price-earnings multiple of 14.9, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. The 200 companies listed on the Gulf's benchmark share index are trading at 16.6 times historical earnings compared with 15.2 times for Dubai's index and 14.5 times for the MSCI EM Index, the data shows.
Companies in the Persian Gulf aren't benefiting from record demand for share sales in emerging markets as concerns over debt and sluggish economic growth dampens investor confidence.
Omani mobile-phone operator Nawras and Aluminium Bahrain BSC, the operator of an 850,000-metric-ton-a-year smelter, sold shares last month at the bottom of the range used to canvas investor interest in the stocks. The six-member Gulf Cooperation Council region generated $1.41 billion of initial public offerings this year, compared with $2.27 billion in the same period a year earlier, data compiled by Bloomberg show.
The average daily volume of shares traded in Dubai has slumped to 159 million this year from 448 million in the year- earlier period, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
Secondary Market
"Conventional bank financing, bonds and sukuk are likely to be the preferred mode of raising funds for regional corporations until the profitability of issuers and investor sentiment improves," Phil Gandier, Ernst & Young, Middle East's managing partner, said in an e-mail today. "The IPO markets normally recover after the secondary markets and we have been seeing a gradual recovery in the stock markets around the region."

The Federal Reserve's moves to reduce interest rates and the federal government's $150 billion stimulus package may have boosted the outlook, but 67% of the small-business operators polled still said they see economic conditions worsening, and 59% said they did not believe the stimulus would benefit them directly.

CytRx Corporation (Nasdaq: CYTR) announced positive updated results from its pivotal Phase 3 clinical trial evaluating aldoxorubicin compared to investigator's choice in patients with relapsed or refractory soft tissue sarcomas (STS). The study, which enrolled 433 patients, demonstrated a statistically significant improvement in progression-free survival (PFS) between aldoxorubicin and investigator's choice therapy in 246 patients with leiomyosarcoma and liposarcoma, (p=0.007). The hazard ratio (HR) was 0.62 (95% CI 0.44-0.88), representing a 38% reduction in the risk of tumor progression for patients receiving aldoxorubicin versus investigator's choice. Leiomyosarcoma and liposarcoma are the two most common types of STS and accounted for 57% of the patients enrolled in the trial.
Aldoxorubicin demonstrated a statistically significant improvement in PFS over investigator's choice in 312 patients treated in North America (p=0.028; HR=0.71, 95% CI 0.53-0.97). Notably, aldoxorubicin performed better than investigator's choice for the entire study population and narrowly missed statistical significance (p=0.12; HR=0.81, 95% CI 0.64-1.06). All responses were determined by an independent, blinded central lab assessment of scans.
"This data represents a major step forward for STS, a rare, highly complex and very difficult-to-treat group of cancers," commented Sant Chawla, M.D., F.R.A.C.P., Director of the Sarcoma Oncology Center in Santa Monica, California, and Principal Investigator for the Phase 3 trial. "These results are important because they demonstrate that treatment with aldoxorubicin can extend the time to progression in a clinically meaningful way. The trial design used was more stringent than any prior clinical trial in STS as it compared aldoxorubicin to real world alternatives. The control arm allowed trial investigators to select any one of the five most widely used treatments best suited for their patients' specific type of STS. Unlike other clinical trials for relapsed or refractory STS which used either dacarbazine or placebo as the control, this study was biased in favor of choosing the best therapy for the patients, a truly unique study design."
CytRx plans to submit the results of this clinical trial for presentation at an upcoming major scientific meeting.
In the entire study population, aldoxorubicin achieved a statistically significant improvement in the disease control rate (DCR; defined as objective response rate (ORR) plus stable disease for at least 4 months) of 29.4% versus 20.5% for the patients treated with investigator's choice (p=0.030). In North American patients, the benefit was even more pronounced with aldoxorubicin-treated patients exhibiting a DCR of 32.9%, compared to 19.2% for patients treated with investigator's choice (p=0.007), an overall improvement of 71%. ORR in North American patients also favored aldoxorubicin over investigator's choice, 8.7% versus 3.3% (p=0.058). Of note, no objective responses were observed in patients treated with Votrient® (pazopanib). Patients continue to be followed for overall survival (OS), a secondary endpoint, and CytRx expects the OS data to be available in 2017.
PFS, DCR and ORR data are summarized in the following table:

Pre-specified analyses were based on sarcoma histopathology and geography. The geographic analysis includes patients from North America (defined as the United States, Canada and Australia, per the trial statistical analysis plan). The 312 patients treated in North America comprise 72% of the total trial population, including 296 patients from the United States, 8 patients from Canada and 8 patients from Australia. The 246 patients with leiomyosarcoma or liposarcoma comprise 57% of the total trial population.
Aldoxorubicin did not cause clinically significant cardiac, renal, or hepatic toxicities. For the global trial population, the most commonly reported adverse events were neutropenia and anemia consistent with prior clinical trials with aldoxorubicin. Grade 3 or higher hypertension occurred in patients receiving Votrient® (pazopanib). Grade 3 or higher adverse events were manageable with supportive care and occurred at a rate of 61% for patients receiving aldoxorubicin and 46% in patients treated with investigator's choice. Importantly, treatment-emergent adverse events leading to discontinuation occurred in 4.2% of patients treated with aldoxorubicin, compared to 6.3% for patients receiving investigator's choice. Serious adverse events, primarily febrile neutropenia that resolved and rarely led to treatment termination occurred more frequently in patients administered aldoxorubicin. Treatment-related deaths occurred in one aldoxorubicin-treated patient and in no patients receiving investigators' choice drugs.
Based on these results, CytRx expects to submit a New Drug Application (NDA) with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for aldoxorubicin as a treatment for patients with relapsed or refractory STS in 2017.
"These results show that globally leiomyosarcoma and liposarcoma patients treated with aldoxorubicin exhibited significantly longer PFS than patients treated with both FDA-approved and commonly used therapies in the second-line setting," said Daniel Levitt, M.D., Ph.D., EVP and Chief Medical Officer of CytRx. "We are also very encouraged by the statistically significant improvements observed in North American STS patients treated with aldoxorubicin who exhibited both longer PFS and superior response rates."
"We are deeply grateful for the support and commitment of the sarcoma investigators, along with the patients and families who took part in or contributed to this Phase 3 trial," stated Steven A. Kriegsman, CytRx's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. "We look forward to sharing the data from these key patient populations with the FDA to support an NDA for aldoxorubicin as a second-line treatment for patients suffering with soft tissue sarcomas."
Conference Call and Webcast
CytRx management will be hosting a conference call and webcast today beginning at 8:30 a.m. Eastern Time / 5:30 a.m. Pacific Time to discuss the results of the Phase 3 trial. To access the conference call, dial 844-358-6753 (U.S. and Canada) or 216-562-0397 (international callers) and enter the conference ID number: 27115631.

In typical Melbourne fashion it was raining when I picked up the car – not heavily but consistently – and had been for the 24 hours prior. Clutched in my palm was the key to a vehicle that makes the bold claim of being Australia's most powerful production car. Ever.
Dropping myself into the driver's seat, thoughts of being 'that guy' who puts the press car through someone's front yard fence plagued my mind, so I busied myself with the in-car electronics to delay the inevitable, but the Bluetooth wouldn't accept either of my phones. Damn. Wiggle the too-far-away gear stick to ensure it's in neutral and press the starter button; the starter motor whirls before VVVWOAR – the HSV GTS clears its throat and once again I'm wondering why I thought this was a good idea.
The vehicle that HSV (Holden Special Vehicles) has created is an undeniably fitting modern-day interpretation of the Australian muscle car. As per the formula, the base car is a relatively pedestrian large Australian sedan which has then been taken, pulled apart and reassembled with a host of new parts to boost performance to new levels.
Indeed it is HSV's bread and butter; turning run-of-the-mill Holdens into something that the average Aussie bloke can be equally proud to roll onto the drag strip as park in front of the pub. The approach hasn't changed much since 1987 either: add some cosmetic enhancements, a spruced up interior and most importantly a hot V8 under the bonnet.
In a way, HSV's relationship with Holden parallels BMW's M division and Mercedes' AMG, but over the years HSV has never strayed far from the formulaic approach which has won as many critics as it has fans. I can already predict some popular sentiments that will no doubt appear below in the comments section… "Expensive for a taxi", "Bogan-mobile", "Handles like a boat". And I must admit that these thoughts were swirling amongst a bunch of preconceptions before I drove the car. It's only natural to speculate, right?
So after the slightly nervous start, I decided to let the road dry up and pick a nice spot near the Melbourne CBD to take a closer and more objective look at HSV's latest creation. The car before you is the range-topping GEN-F2 GTS; not only HSV's highest performance creation but the most powerful car to ever enter production in Australia.
430kW (575hp) of power and 740Nm (546lb-ft) of torque come thanks to the supercharged 6.2L LSA, which is as American as apple pie but is very at home in the GTS, as even the 'standard' Commodore can be specced with an LS3. These figures put the GTS at an on-paper advantage to the BMW M5, and the huge torque figure characteristic of a blown V8 is well into hypercar territory.
Something else the HSV shares with its European rivals is a host of TLAs (three letter acronyms) on the spec sheet. ESC, EBD, EBA, TCS, EPS, TV and MRC might leave the regular CUB (sorry, cashed-up bogan) thinking 'WTF?', but HSV assured me that the tech has been put to good use and lifted the Commodore chassis to new dynamic heights. I guess time will tell.
As you would expect, the hot engine is complemented with bigger brakes – 6-pot front calipers clamping 390mm AP Racing discs. The forged 20-inch wheels are unique to the GTS and actually looked small to my eye after the madness of Summernats. I think the car would fit in nicely otherwise.
Owners can be sure they aren't mistaken for one of the regular Commodore-driving masses thanks to a comprehensive exterior redesign, conspicuous badging, and in this case a lustrous layer of HSV's 'Jungle Green'.
The driver's seat is a nice place to be. There are upgraded and rather supportive seats, and nicer materials across the dash and door panels, but the humble origins are hard to forget. Overall quality and tactility is still far beyond an equivalently priced Audi or Lexus.
However, like most car enthusiasts I'd trade any amount of intricately stitched leather for a good ol' fashioned manual 'box, and thankfully HSV obliges; the GTS comes standard with a refreshingly uncomplicated 6-speed shifter. What a treat in 2016!Drive Experience
With the road surface drying and my torque-induced anxiety subsiding, it was time to leave the grid of Melbourne city streets and head for greener pastures. There's plenty of driving roads around Melbourne, but one stands head and shoulders above the others as far as scenic vistas and twisted tarmac goes. Its name, The Great Ocean Road.
Skirting the Southern coastline of Victoria, The Great Ocean Road is 243km long and is itself considered a tourist attraction. That's a fair designation too, but it does mean during fine weather weekends it's even more clogged with tourists than Melbourne's gentrified laneways.
But traffic can pretty much be ignored when you're packing overtaking power comparable to something like an F-22 fighter jet.
It's no surprise that the engine absolutely dominates the driving experience in the GTS. Even before I had a chance to open it up on some proper roads, the supercharged 6.2 litres were an omnipresent entity. No upshift was subtle (the flurry of pops from the exhaust ensured as much), and the faintest hint of real throttle in first or second gear saw the rear tyres try to vaporize themselves.
The State of Victoria is renowned for its draconian traffic law enforcement, with Police who are more than happy to write a ticket for a driver cruising just 5km/h over the limit. Here drivers of modified cars consider themselves outlaws, and I must say that the HSV gave me the same feeling. Was this much power even legal? The car was sure turning plenty of heads with the bi-modal exhaust valves left open and my usage of the loud pedal becoming more and more judicial. If you don't like to turn heads and – let's be honest – piss people off a bit, there are plenty of other cars out there for you.
Just listen to the thing!
But to stretch the F-22 metaphor slightly further, being top gun in 2016 is not just a factor of power and manoeuvrability, but also the careful integration of electronic aids to ensure maximum performance can be delivered on demand without sacrificing day-to-day driveability.
There's no doubting that these aids can help a car brake later, corner harder or ride better, but for us car enthusiasts it's as important – if not more – that the character of the car remains authentic and true, unadulterated by software algorithms and augmented enhancements.
It was a pleasant surprise that the GTS has character by the bucketful, and the 'electronic' nannies are nothing of the sort. Rather, they improve the driving experience and bring this souped-up Commodore well up to speed with German rivals. The first standout was the traction control – non-invasive until it's legitimately required and friendly when it eventually eases in to keep the 1800kg pointing in the right direction. Nice.
I hate to admit to bias, but I wasn't expecting an amazing ride quality from the HSV; it's just not something I've ever seen them lauded for in the past. So the second welcome discovery was that the Magnetic Ride Control system turns the GTS into a prospect for driving fast over any road surface, regardless of turn radius and surface condition. This was my first experience driving a car with active damping so I won't claim to be an expert on the operation, but the system manages to reduce significant surface defects into barely noticeable flits without compromising firmness, which, although artificial in feel, stabilises the vehicle in ways that is simply impossible with a traditional (non-active) suspension setup.
What this all equates to is a car that manages to have its cake and eat it too in many ways; the brutal engine and tail-happy chassis have bucket loads of character, but finesse is still to be found at the far limits of the car's abilities.Legacy
Unfortunately for us, this is likely to be the last vehicle of its type we will see from HSV. The VF Commodore upon which HSV's range is based will be the last Australian-made Commodore when local manufacturing wraps up in 2017, and correspondingly the last large rear-wheel drive V8-powered sedan from a nameplate spanning 38 years.
Holden says the Commodore will live on through a new, imported vehicle platform, but undoubtedly the classic Australian character that defines the VF will be absent. HSV's representative ensured me that the partnership with Holden will continue into the foreseeable future, but wouldn't rule out similar development with other brands. This would be a seismic shift for a company that has been defined by GM V8 powerplants, but I don't doubt their resolve.
It's not a stretch to say that the this GTS is HSV's swan song. They knew they had to build something very special to commemorate the end of this long road; a final punctuation point that celebrates the heritage while being genuinely good enough to demonstrate the company's design and manufacturing expertise.
Mission success, in my opinion.
HSV's representative joked about the GTS having 'worst in class' fuel efficiency, but unfortunately that's a big reason why cars of this breed are dying out. Once upon a time the Commodore and Ford Falcon would trade places at the top of the best-seller list, but today the names are Corolla, Mazda3, and CX-3.
It's a shame that Australia doesn't have the volume to support a niche market for enthusiasts, like has happened in the US with the Mustang, Camaro, Charger and co.
Despite a shaky start with the GTS and a weight of expectations against it, this car ended up broadening my definition of a performance vehicle and left me with a genuine appreciation for this country's small but expert field of automotive designers and engineers.
Before I ever started writing about or photographing performance cars, I'd always dreamed of designing them. It's a tragedy that for the next generation of Australian enthusiasts, it's unclear if that will ever be a dream that can feasibly be achieved in Australia. Time will tell whether the GTS goes down as a classic or merely fades away into irrelevance, but it's undoubtable that HSV has perfected that old formula and created a very worthy end piece. I can't wait to see what's next, whatever that may be.

Hi @Blake Jones ,
The motor industry of Australia will continue to live on and evolve into another different form maintaining it's Aussie-ness. Appreciate this very well written piece emphasizing our gifted engineers and car designers although through the downsizing of this industry (diminishing decade) some of the talents have transgressed into other auto-related industries, moving the whole culture and community forward.
Our next half decade will be interesting with the introduction of more foreign makers and elements into the local market. How we, the car crazy people, respond to this by making a triumph over this tragedy may one day revive the automotive production industry once again. Keep the faith Blake, we may even see the GTS engine inside an Austalian RWB.
Not gonna lie, this really caught my attention. Looks great and sounds fantastic, a shame to see it go.
I think you mean behind Audi and Lexus interior quality, not beyond.
@KarlMuth i think you mean "im the kind of douche to scoff at anything that isn't european"
@Schwaglet @KarlMuth i agree with him, go sit in an s4, rs6 or any other performance model euro and youll know... i dont think a 16 speaker sound option, or heated door handles, mirrors, wipers, locks and nozzles are available either, or... well the list goes on.
@Schwaglet @KarlMuth I was actually just correcting the copy. They meant to say "behind" rather than "beyond." That was my only point, but, yes, I tend to buy European cars.
@KarlMuth @Schwaglet ok but the one thing you can never get with a new european car these days other than a cheap BMW is a manual transmission. that's the thing that makes me stay away from new european cars. unless they will put a manual in a german car, either from factory or a small charge, then i will not buy their cars. it just went down after the e39 m5
Love the australian scenery
Beautiful car and beautifully shot. Love the green - reminiscent of the Torana green of the 70's. If I was a betting man I would say future classic Blake. Enjoyed the read.
Better than US Chevrolet SS. And it's over...
'Farewell'? 30 years too late! Holden and that other has been Ford Australia have made shit cars, subsidized by the bogan tax-payer for the privilege for nearly 40 years. The main reason both FoMoCo and GM are shutting shop in Aus is because the government has had enough of grandiose local manufacturers claiming they can make something 'world class' for export.
The only local firm that even came close was Mitsubishi who somehow managed to make one model that was mildly successful in Japan. You can count the Mercury Crapi in there too I suppose, and the Pontiac Monaro. Interested to hear the bogan view on how many of these actually sold. Was there a more successful export?
The flow-on to firms like ROH and other suppliers though will be bad, as some indeed managed to make world class product, and may even survive past the loss of 'RTS' and 'EFI'...
@Kuroneko An interesting perspective. Most reviews I've seen from many motoring journalists in the UK and US have given very positive reviews to VX-onwards HSVs/Commodores and their derivatives, while obviously noting their lack of refinement. Sure, they're about as subtle as Donald Trump and as refined as a coal shovel, but they do what they're designed to do very well indeed. The trouble comes when people start comparing them to AMGs, Ms and RSs, when HSVs are really just cheap speed with a few chintzy add-ons.
I consider the GTS to be the ultimate CUB toy, which is quick but can still be maintained largely by the home mechanic (with the notable exception of all the pointless tack like infotainment systems etc) due to the low-tech mechanicals. Personally I'd like to see a GTS-R final model that dispenses with anything that dilutes the driving experience, or distracts the driver from focusing on the main aim of a performance vehicle, but we both know marketing will kill that stone dead and reduce it to a stickers-'n'-spoilers farce.
I agree it's a shame the flow-on effect to the supply industry will be so huge, and I hope they can evolve to survive. I also agree the government carried Ford and Holden for far too long, and maybe if their respective world HQs had paid enough attention to what was being produced in Australia they may have just invested enough to make them viable propositions rather than constantly endangered niche products.
The photography was beautiful! Especially loved the long exposure shots
@mandeepchase glad you enjoyed it! Thanks!
Genuinely surprised to read that the MRC dampers hadn't taken a dump and leaked incredibly expensive fluid all over the rear end....
Photography in this article is top notch mate! 2nd last, 3rd last and header pic especially.
@DonJohnWilson Really appreciate the support! Thanks!
Ooooohhh! Great article, and a great car! I lived in New Zealand almost 8 years ago, 1 year, and I was constantly mesmerized by the Holdens, especially the UTE's. So, one of my ultimate goals is to import a 2010 HSV Maloo from Australia to Sweden, where I live now.
Sad to see them closing shop! Both HSV and FSV.
@SeBaBunea you mean FPV?
@SeBaBunea Did you mean FPV?
Hehe you said bogan!
"Claimed" most powerful Aussie built production car.
Also Black Spur kills the great ocean road, but otherwise not bad good to see Aussie content even if it is a bit one eyed
+1 for Aussie stuff.
-1 for no one who reads this from overseas even knowing we have Fords too.
I don't drive either but it'd be nice to see some other local cars on here too.
Especially with the xr6 turbo being such a hit here for all those years and also with FPV and stuff.
It's good to see the Aussie rotors and summernats and Aussie drifting etc but I don't think I've ever seen an xr6 turbo or an FPV GT on here. I could be wrong but it seems lopsided.
Seriously considering moving to Australia... you guys get all the cool shit.
"thoughts of being 'that guy' who puts the press car through someone's front yard fence plagued my mind"
-Don't worry Blake Jones. You wouldn't be the first nor the last V8 Commodore driver to do that.
@B to the Ruce haha it seems to be a fairly regular occurrence on the news, but not something I want on my resume!
The colour is truly sublime, if I could afford to rock a car like this I definitely would but since the insurance companies here already get enough of my money it'll have to stay on the lot.
I get the feeling that the design needs to be more refined and less "in your face" most people buy second hand m5's and m3's instead of a new one of these because of BMW's reputation for performance and they don't look to lairy, if there were more of these winning race series over seas I imagine people would buy them.
I guess there's the other thing with it in the UK being an expensive Vauxhall. If it had a different brand...
@JakWhite An expensive Vauxhall owning Brit here. I love this damn car. 15000 miles in the last year in it :)
I also compared a C63 AMG interior to the VXR8 on Sunday, the C63 was horrendous in comparison!
Great article and a fitting tribute to 'the last man standing'. It's a real shame that it never took off in the export markets. The 'not made here' syndrome seems so myopic when Americans are climbing over each other for Hellcats and CTS-Vs and the same time be-moaning the lack of big displacement V8/MT/RWD cars available. Great moody shots, although being a local I can only imagine how frustrating the drive would have been - speed cameras galore and HWP hiding in the grass around every corner.....it's a reminder how irrelevant these cars have become in the day to day.
Well in the Americans' defense both the Hellcat Charger and the CTS-V are no longer available with a manual transmission. The only V8 MT sedan we have over here is the SS, and it's going to be out of production soon.
man considering the states never got a supercharged rear wheel sports sedan, this would be amazing. if only they sold something like this in america.
Man you got the Chevy SS there in the states, it's not a HSV, but it's pretty damn good
@awesomefearwave what about the last generation CTSV?? It was v8, supercharged and available with a manual transmission.
@t_schouwenaars well i see the cadillac as more luxury and i feel like it's out of reach for any young car enthusiast. maybe for an older one, but maybe a commodore would be a cheaper option.
@awesomefearwave @t_schouwenaars Dodge Charger? Also the commodore was sold here as the Pontiac G8 and the Chevy SS
@SkreaminChikin @awesomefearwave @t_schouwenaars Chevy SS is the LS3. Though Whipple do a nice 2.9L blower kit :)
Pretty cool seeing it like this, beautiful shots.
As an Australian, I've never really aspired to owning one of these for whatever reason. But I've always thought, if I had to live overseas, this is what I'd love to drive, and most people wouldn't probably know what the hell it is (especially Japan where I think the sound of a V8 is quite rare haha).
@i23sonny I'm a Kiwi and agree with you. Would never own one in NZ, but would absolutely rock one anywhere else in the world.
@i23sonny I saw a relatively new Commodore in Japan once, completely out of the blue. I'd really like to know how that happened!
First up, fabulous article, and love the photos - thank you!
@i23sonny@Peter_Kelly I'd have one of these yesterday if my funds were up to it...which they're not - a standard SS has to do (although that's no great hardship). The way I see it, in a few years a large displacement V8 will be rare here in Oz too (sadly) so I've decided to get mine whilst I still can.
What about the falcon? Why do people think the Falcon is not an Aussie car? It is arguably more Australian than the commodore (maybe not but that is not the point). Please Something on the Falcon!
@ROYFZ cause the author is on the GM nozzle. Falcon actually use a Aus only platform unlike the zeta under the commo
How is zeta not Australian as the falcon platform?!?!? Because it was good enough to be exported? Sounds like a shit reason to me.
@Chop still on the gm nozzle have you read one article where he mentions the falcon beyond a passing comment about how it exists
And wtf has that got to do with the subject I was responding to? Suck my nozzle.
@gunbunny @ROYFZ Uumm. What does having an Aus only platform have to do with anything? It's not like Holden Grabbed a platform used by their parent company. The Zeta platform was designed in Aus for the VE..... and GM decided to use it for the Camaro as well.
What has that got to do with what I'm talking about. No one is on a nozzle. But you are honking the bo bo.

WATERLOO ROAD - CURRENT All in all, this program is incredibly addictive. Every week, you can't wait to watch the newest instalment. As a student myself, I can relate to some of the scenarios. Many however, are incredibly far-fetched, and unrealistic. However, I suppose this is required to keep the show interesting. In my opinion, the show's content has dwindles as the series have went on, however not so much that you lose interest. A great series and I recommend you try and get hooked to it the next time a series is advertised... you won't regret it.

Topic: Bridge (07/31/08)
TITLE: Bubble Troubles
By Julie Arduini
She stood over the railing and watched the last fragment of the Jamison family picture swirl off the Mill Creek Park suspension bridge into the rushing waters. She ran her fingers through her curly auburn hair and realized her locks were soaked.
Ten minutes or two hours, Kellie had no idea how long she stood on the walking deck and tore her past to shreds.
�Want some company?�
Kellie gave a pivot and gasped.
�It�s raining.�
Kellie�s voice was as flat as her stormed on hair. Her fianc�, Eric Bryce, popped open his little sister�s Winnie the Pooh umbrella and held it over Kellie.
�We won�t melt. Wanna talk about it?"
Eric gestured to the wooden bench two feet away. Kellie observed the crusty pigeon droppings and shook her head. They both looked past the railing in silence. Eric gently reached for her hand. She grasped his fingers, her hold tight. She collapsed into his shoulder, his Pooh umbrella bobbing in rhythm to her sobs.
�Dad�s gone. I got�home�and�his stuff was�gone.�
He let her cry, knowing deep down this wasn�t a surprise to her. The Jamison marriage had been rocky at best as long as he knew Kellie. Images of the two arguing during the third grade book fair came to his mind.
�Aw sweetheart, I�m so sorry. Is there anything I can do?�
She sniffled, leaving a wet shirt on his black polo shirt.
�You already have. Coming here. The umbrella. Letting me snot all over your nice shirt.�
�It�ll wash. In fact��
Eric reached to his back jeans pocket, pulling out a bottle of bubbles.
�You could blow bubbles on my shirt and clean it.�
He winked, letting go of her hand. The rain let up, so he put the umbrella down too.
�You think of everything.�
�I just remember you saying that whenever you were upset as a kid you�d find a hiding place and blow bubbles. I remember when we ran track in high school you said you loved running through this park because this bridge made you feel like Cinderella. I just figured you came here, and maybe you�d still like to blow bubbles.�
Kellie smiled, taking the bottle. She slowly unscrewed the cap, fishing for the wand.
�You know, every time I blew bubbles as a kid, things always seemed better. I used to think that when I blew them, my troubles were trapped in each bubble and they would fly to Jesus.�
She had the wand and started to dip into the solution.
�I hope when we�re married you won�t need to blow bubbles too often.�
Kellie drew the wand to her mouth and blew. A stream of rainbow colored bubbles danced off the wand.
�Maybe it will be a new tradition, a fun thing for the Bryce family.�
Eric nodded, liking the sound of Kellie using his last name. The wedding day could not come fast enough.
�Absolutely. You gonna be okay?�
He asked, watching her blow yet another bubble stream. She dipped the wand again, and put it up to his mouth.
�Absolutely. We�re going to be okay. And for those moments when we�re not��
Eric interrupted her sentence by ducking the wand and stealing a kiss. He then finished her sentence.
�We�ll just blow our bubble troubles to Jesus.�
