BUSINESSWEEK - Feb 28 - The $30M advertising and marketing push had made ChristianMingle an unexpectedly popular dating site with 8M registered users, 154K paying subscribers at $19.99 a month. That's almost double the 84K paying subscribers of SparkNetwork's groundbreaking Jewish singles site, JDate. SparkNetworks.com was founded in 1997. JDate grew rapidly by word of mouth. ChristianMingle was launched in 2004 and remained small until 2010, when Spark consulted with local ministers and prominent Christian leaders about how best to serve their constituents. As a result, the company founded an advisory council of church leaders and hired ChristianMingle spokeswoman Ashley Reccord, a pastor's daughter, to help conduct outreach. Then the company launched Believe.com, which features Christian editorials, and redesigned the site into something more devout-seeming than JDate. Spark reported the number of ChristianMingle paid subscribers grew 89% for the Q4 of 2012 vs. the period a year earlier. There are other suitors in the market for Christian romance; eHarmony and ChristianCafe.com.

WASHINGTON POST - Jan 10 - ChristianMingle is owned by the same company, Spark Networks, that owns JDate, the wildly successful Jewish dating service. Indeed, JDate has been the engine behind ChristianMingle's "God" campaign this year. Spark has plowed revenue generated by the older, more established JDate into promoting the Christian site. ChristianMingle is now the biggest of Spark's 28 dating sites, each for a specific subset of singles. The company says ChristianMingle is the nation's leading Christian-based dating site, with ~8M registered members. Spark Networks' Christian dating division had revenue of $22.9M during the first nine months of 2012, an increase of 111% over the same period the year before. (Its Jewish division had revenue of $19.4M, down 5%). Spark poured ~$30M into marketing and advertising for the division, more than double the year before. Overall, Spark lost $4.45M over the first three quarters of 2012 after a loss of $503K during the same period of 2011. ChristianCafe, which says it is the only Christian-owned dating site among the major players, has a marketing tie-in with Focus on the Family, the conservative Christian group founded by author and radio preacher James Dobson. Focus on the Family once had ties with eHarmony.com and its founder, Neil Clark Warren, but eHarmony has moved away from a Christian-centric approach in a bid for a broader market.

CBN.COM - Feb 9 - Sam Moorcroft is CEO of ChristianCafe.com, an online dating site solely for believers. He appeared on Christian television CBN.com this week. He said the "old ways" of finding a mate at church or through friends are "falling by the way side." "The advantage of using a Christian only dating site is that that's our entire purpose," Moorcroft explained. "When you're on a site like Match.com or other secular ones you have to troll through all of these other profiles to figure out, 'Is the person I'm interested in actually a true believer.'"

OPW - Sep 28 - Canadian TV show 'Full Circle' invited Sam Moorcroft, co-founder of ChristianCafe.com, to talk about online dating for Christian singles. "In 2000 it was a very different world back then; people would be confused when I said I was working in online dating", he said. "People have been using online dating sites for 10 years now and have realized that it's just normal people looking for love not a bunch of weirdo's." ChristianCafe.com claims ~2M members. The site gives everyone a free trial up to 10 days. After the trial, they can buy a membership from just 30c a day.

OPW INTERVIEW - Sep 15 - Sam was inspired by Matchmaker.com and started ChristianCafe.com in 1999. He's also tinkering in the Brazil market. Here's his founding story... - Mark Brooks
One of the things that made your site quite unique for the longest time was that you had a 'cuppa joe' on the homepage instead of having a picture of a happy couple. For a few years you ran a picture of a cup of coffee which I thought was really unusual. Why the cup of coffee?
We were thinking; where would people meet for the first time offline when they had connected online? The most likely place would be a café; it's unassuming, it's cheap, they can do it at lunchtime or early afternoon, no commitment, no money involved. It's a public place so it's safe. We wanted to capture that whole feeling so we used a coffee cup logo which is actually from a real coffee shop. All the photos you used to see on the site were real people.
Have you tried stock photography vs real people?
Yeah, we are in the process of doing it right now. You've got to find a couple that does it from a marketing point of view but doesn't lack authenticity. We now have a happy couple on homepage, have had for the longest time. We want to rotate different happy couples, real and stock, and gauge which works best.
What are you going to put on your homepage? You mentioned a very personal photograph.
We were thinking about using a picture of my wife and me because our story is very linked to online dating, it's what we do for a living.
Let's go back in time. What's your founding story?
A job came up in Toronto with my brother so I moved there, started a new job but after 6 months I got laid off. So I found myself in a brand new city, only knew 3 people, single and unemployed. I started going online and I discovered personals. I was interested but I thought that the people were weird. To my surprise the women I met were normal. I became addicted. A friend was always complaining that the sites could do a better job and that I should put my money where my mouth is. I approached my brother and he helped finance it. We launched in early 1999. I knew that it had to be niche; I couldn't compete with Match.com. It took off in the Christian market; within 6-12 months we broke even and from then it has been phenomenally successful.
What dating sites inspired you?
Matchmaker.com, currently owned by Date.com. Their whole philosophy was based on niche markets. Unlike other sites, they allowed full access as if you were a paid subscriber for the duration of your free trial. We still do this.
We have 100,000 actual active members in the last 4/5 months because beyond that we archive people automatically. Other sites say they've got 2 million members because they count people who joined in 1999 for a free trial. You should count monthly logins because that is the true representation of how many people are using your site.
You have an interest in Brazil. Tell us more. What sites have you launched in Brazil and how are they going?
My wife is originally Brazilian although she's been in Canada since 1998. About 5 years ago we decided to open a site in Brazil; my wife speaks Portuguese and knows the culture. But the Brazilian taxation system is medieval and there is so much red tape that we didn't want to continue. We set it up outside Brazil but Brazilian credit cards can only be used in Brazil.
This is slowly changing as the economy grows. In 4-5 years time Brazil will be #5 in the world for GDP so there is definitely potential. We decided to keep a bank account there and people could pay by printing out a form, going into a bank and doing a transfer. But this is was a big hassle for people and we miss out on impulse buyers. A year ago we decided to operate a free model. We are using Google advertisements but they don't make us a lot of money.

CHRISTIAN NEWSWIRE - Aug 16 - Despite a more liberalized society, young adult Christians abstain from drinking alcohol at the same rate as older Christians. 65% of 21+ either abstain from alcohol consumption, or rarely partake, according to a recent survey from ChristianCafe.com.

FINANCIAL POST - Feb 28 - It's hard to calculate the exact size of the North American dating industry since many companies are privately held but a Dec '10 report from IBISWorld puts the U.S. dating industry at US$2-billion. 54% of that was driven by online dating, followed by mobile dating, matchmakers, singles events and personal ads. In Canada, online dating alone accounts for $200M. FastLife International, run by Justin Parfitt and his wife Annabelle, calls on 120 hosts in 65 cities across Canada, the US, Australia, New Zealand and Britain to run 2,400 annual events for 60K. Events, held in upscale venues, cost $50 to $80. Sam Moorcroft, President of ChristianCafe.com, decided to tackle the business -helping Christian singles. Mr. Moorcroft, who founded the business with his brother Philip, initially advertised at Canadian churches, singles events, and in Canadian media, but within a year realized his market was in the United States, where he says 30% to 50% of people identify as Born Again Christians.

MIXERGY - Sep 8 - Mark did this interview from Malta, where he's making a name for himself in the online personals industry through his blog Online Personals Watch and consulting company Courtland Brooks.
Q: How are you managing your company from Malta?
A: 3 years ago I took a trip to Shanghai. There was an Internet dating conference in Shanghai, and I decided to stay there for 2 months. And business grew. I learned that my clients did not care where I was based as long as the work got done. I brought 15 people onto my team.
Q: What exactly do you do when you consult online personal sites?
A: We help Internet dating companies make more money. And also companies that want to talk to them. We do PR, business development, and strategic advisement.
Q: Can you tell people a little more about the blog?
A: In 2004, when I was working with FriendFinder, I noticed that I was getting great snippets of information from the press. And I consistently didn't have time to read all of the articles. So I thought it would be nice if somebody could summarize and extract the best intelligence out of what the press were writing about. So in June of 2004, I started OnlinePersonalsWatch.com. The idea is that we condense three hours of reading into three minutes of reading a day. In January of 2005, I had three jobs offers on the table, so I decided to take all three. And that is how Courtland Brooks started. At a point from there, I knew a lot of people that I thought could do a better job than me. So, I hired them.
Q: Is there still money in the dating world? It seems to me like most people either go to one of the top sites or they go to Facebook.
A: The reason dating sites have a future is because it's one thing to be single and another to be single and available. And it's even another thing to be single and available and looking. You don't find that on Facebook. Yes, you can find people that say they are single. But are they really single? Are they dating? Are they really available?
Q: But Markus at PlentyofFish has blogged that social networks are taking customers away from dating sites.
A: Yes. It is taking attention. But people want a more focused experience. There are two surprises that we have had in the dating industry. The first one is that social networking didn't kill the dating industry. And the second one is that Internet dating didn't kill the matchmaking industry.
Q: What about the idea that there are already enough established players out there that it is really hard to come in with a new site?
A: It is. Without a doubt.There are thousands of Internet dating services. I rather think it is like starting a restaurant. It's not that difficult, you would think, to start a restaurant. But there's a lot more moving pieces that go into building a successful restaurant than meets the eye. And the same with Internet dating.
Q: Let's say Casey Allen, who I see here in the audience, decides that he is going to start an online dating site. What's the first thing that you'd recommend that he do?
A: First question is, is he a marketer or a technologist? If Casey is a marketer then he should go down the white labeling route and use a service like White Label Dating, DatingFactory.com or EasyDate.
Q: What if Casey Allen happens to be a technologist and he can code something up? What would you advise him at that point?
A: There are two extra routes that he can take. Number one is to use an off the shelf software like BoonEx and another option is use a programming outfit that has already built dating sites in the past.
Q: How do you bring people into a site today?
A: All of the major dating sites spend a lot of money on PPC. So, Overture and AdWords are an absolute mainstay of the industry. PlentyofFish is a wonderful place to run ads. If you can pay an extra 50 cents to a network, then you can get 10 times more traffic. Commission Junction and ShareASale have a good reputation.
Q: What else brings people in?
A: SEO. Also I'm a big fan of affiliates. The problem with affiliates, by the way, is there are rogue affiliates that will send junk traffic. The only way to deal with them is you've got to understand their position. They want to make money. And affiliates tend to be short-term based. They don't care too much about the brand, because they will just switch out to a different brand. So, the only way to really manage rogue affiliates is by laying down guidelines.
Q: We talked about how to get people in the door. What about getting them to multiply? By multiply, we mean viral marketing, getting them to bring their friends..
A: Let's start with Zoosk. They are one of the great, recent, success stories. On a typical dating site, you sign up. You've got to put in all your information. With a Facebook based social dating site such as Zoosk, some of that information can be sucked over. And so that really improves the initial conversions and efficiency. Plus, you know, the kinds of people that are on Facebook are going to be a little bit more social. When people talk about a good or a bad experience they think of as Internet dating. They don't tend to think of it so much as, it's Zoosk. It's Match.com. It's FriendFinder or Fling or whatever. I think the industry as a whole needs to make sure that they have a good experience. That means not allowing scammers. Scammers are actually very good for short-term conversions, funnily enough.
Q: How is that?
A: Because they are very active about communicating with people and getting them to convert.
Q: Do you have a sense of what percentage of sales these scammers are responsible for?
A: I don't know. I think for some sites, it is quite significant. For sites of integrity, it is very small, because they kick them off.
Q: What else do people do to multiply?
A: I am a big fan of success stories. ChristianCafe.com is very good with success stories. So is Match.com and PlentyOfFish.com. Now, there is a bit more to be said for social media these days and mobile.
Q: Can you give me an example of one company that's doing social well and how they are doing it, and then one company in mobile and how they are doing mobile well?
A: PlentyofFish does well as a social dating site in and of itself. In terms of social media, well, actually, Zoosk is a good example. They have had some music videos that have been featured, and so has PlentyofFish. PlentyofFish has been in a video on Lady Gaga. So, that's quite a new thing for the industry. I think OKCupid has the best blog in the industry. Again, they have got material that is extremely compelling, extremely interesting. And so they are getting the press talking about it.

IVEY INTOUCH MAGAZINE -- Apr 3 -- "Tele-personals," known today as Lavalife, is one of the world's oldest online dating services. The founding partners started out dabbling in the business of celebrity voice tapes for answering machines.

Sam Moorcroft discovered online dating services when he found himself single and unemployed in Toronto in the late 90s. He created ChristianCafe.com.

MY STORY Stories From Our Members
A Love of Space through Science Fiction and Science Fact
by David Lee Summers
November 16, 2016
My love of space started by watching the original Star Trek television series. I was captivated by the idea that there were whole worlds beyond the Earth to learn about and explore.
When I was ten years old, the Viking Landers went to Mars and suddenly, I saw pictures of a real planet. It looked so much like the Southern California desert where I was from that it couldn't help but be real, but so lifeless, it couldn't help but be alien. It was almost certainly then that I decided space exploration had to be part of my life.

Somewhere over the Cosmos
by Dan R. Rissi
November 16, 2016
I remember watching the original Cosmos on TV a few years after it was released. I was quickly awestruck by the beauty and vastness of the Universe and especially by the fact that all the things I knew were deeply connected to it. Everything impeccably unravelled by Sagan's voice. That sense of connection hit the right buttons and even though I did not quite know how to deal with it at the time, that mesmerizing feeling grew over the years and became something important that we all should cultivate: the capacity to detect poetry and magic in the natural world.

November 16, 2016
In 1950, at the age of eleven, Walt Disney's movie "Destination Moon" started my interest in space. Later, as a White Sands Proving Grounds Co-op New Mexico A&M physics major, my interest was further peaked upon seeing Russia's sputnik go overhead every 90 minutes. It was during my first work phase at WSPG my high school typing skills had me typing a hand written paper on the possibility of launching a basketball sized satellite using a Army ballistic missile. When I asked why they had not returned the paper to me for corrections and finalization, I was told it had ... more »

Hey everyone, My name is Oscar, I'm from Houston, TX, I'm a newbie to the this board.......I have a 9 week old pit bull puppy that currently weighs 13.3 lbs. I was wondering what supplement would be best for my pup?
as far as food concerns, I have her on Nutro large breed puppy formula. I want her to have good weight & size, especially throughout her pup stage. Could anyone please suggest any good supplements for puppys? any feedback is greatly appreciatted, thanks in advance......
Supplement suggestions.....
Puppy Supps
Not sure about the supplements for her - there are so many to chose. But you may want to switch her food. Nutro is a good food. But, for the price you can put her on a better food. Innova is an exceelent food and the first 3 ingredients will provide her with true meat protein sources. Or, Canidae is another option. 3 of the first 5 ingredients are meat which will privde meat protein source. Nutro has only one meat protein source in the first 7(i think it's 7) ingredients. Meat is a better protein source than grains. You can get her on a High end multi-vitamin. But, Innova and Canidae have a lot of good stuff in them. The knock is that they have too many ingredients which could be a problem for sensitive dogs. But, a great choice for non-snesitive dogs
Puppy Sups
I used Peak Performance Puppy Grow
You can use it up until 6 months old. I liked the results my dog got from it.
You can use it up until 6 months old. I liked the results my dog got from it.
A lot of times my foster pups turn up their noses at the good food since so many of them have had junk food before coming to me. With these pups, I mix in either canned good food or yogurt or something like that to make it taste really good. You can use quite a bit at first and then decrease the amount you use slowly as they get used to eating the food. They will usually eat it dry by the time they get adopted. Course a little canned food or yogurt doesn't hurt them at all either if you wanted to continue it.

May 08, 2013
By Evan Lockridge
Lawmakers in Maine have given final passage to a bill allowing speed limits to increase along Maine's interstates, but are moving to pull the plug on a study to determine the feasibility of an east-west highway.
It's now up to Gov. Paul LaPage to sign the measure allowing an increase to 75 miles per hour along routes where the speed limit is currently 65.
Rather than automatically increasing the limit, it leaves the decision up to the state transportation department to determine if a hike can be safely made.
There is no indication if the governor will sign the bill or not.
Meantime, a legislative committee has voted to repeal a requirement the state transportation department conduct a study about building a privately-owned east to west highway in the state.
Last year the governor signed legislation authorizing $300,000 to be spent to determine the feasibility of building the more than $2 billion route from Calais to Coburn Gore. Supporters of the route say it would improve the state's economy and would provide a badly needed route. Opponents, which include business owners to environmentalists, are against it for a variety of reasons.
A non-scientific poll by the Bangor Daily News shows nearly 60% of people surveyed are against building the route.

Public Eye
Millionaires Club
Credit Viagra for the bulge in U.S. Rep. Tom Campbell's trousers these days. Yes, the Campster's wallet is a little fatter now thanks to his prescient investment in Pfizer, the company that makes the flaccidity fighter. According to annual financial disclosure forms filed by Beltway brats earlier this month, Campbell invested up to $15,000 in the drug company in January 1997, long before Viagra was released and the stock shot up, so to speak. Pfizer's stock value has more than doubled in the past 52 weeks--something that should really get investors like Campbell excited. Unfortunately, Eye can't say with precision exactly how many shares the west-side congressman owns, since politicians only have to list their assets in broad ranges instead of specific amounts. ... The forms, however, provide enough information to show that Campbell's enviable family holdings qualify him to request Grey Poupon at exclusive parties with the other congressional millionaires. Also among those in the seven-figure club are South Bay reps Tom Lantos and Zoe Lofgren, who shares her checking account with hubby, San Jose attorney John Marshall Collins. ... In the interest of public disclosure--and sheer nosiness--Eye also decided to take a peek at how our local state lawmakers are doing financially. The latest disclosure forms show that state Sen. Byron Sher is the richest South Bay lawmaker in the Capitol, at least on paper. Sher reports assets totaling at least $1.16 million. Despite his reputation as one of the Senate's top tree-huggers, Sher has more than $100,000 invested in environmental scourges like General Electric, Mobil and Exxon. The retired Stanford prof explains he's had those stocks, which he inherited from his father, for a loooong time. "I'm not much of a trader. Moreover, I use gasoline like everyone else." Sher adds that his opponent raised the issue of his investments way back in 1980 when he first ran for the Assembly. "It's ancient history," he argues.
Mo' Money
Speaking of rich dudes, Applied Materials CEO Jim Morgan threw in some last-minute cash--$25,000 to be exact--to the Yes on Prop. 226 campaign, the initiative aimed at weakening unions' political muscle in the state. This caused South Bay labor diva Amy Dean to burst into an agitated soliloquy deriding Morgan's pet civic project, Joint Venture: Silicon Valley. Ostensibly, Joint Venture--which is run by Morgan's wife, ex-state Sen. Becky Morgan--is supposed to be a collaboration between the public and private stakeholders. This should also include labor's voice, Dean fumes: "This calls into question whether these guys are really about collaboration when Jim Morgan is helping finance something that would get rid of the political voice of one constituency in favor of another constituency [business]." Incidentally, Jimbo apparently took a different view of the initiative than some of his South Bay business compadres. The San Jose Chamber of Commerce, led by Steve Tedesco, opposed Prop. 226. Morgan is out of the country and couldn't be reached for comment.
Merc Madness
Working for the Mercury News can really be a blast--and last week was no exception. While taking a cigarette break in the wee hours Friday morning, a Merc hack reportedly heard two to three gunshots from the area of the paper's pressroom and summoned the cops. San Jose police came to the scene and discovered a .22-caliber bullet lodged between rolls of newsprint. While combing the parking lot for suspects, the cops stumbled upon a couple chillin' inside an '80 Lincoln Continental, reveals Officer Louis Quezada. The cops discovered a knife, vials of methamphetamine and a glass pipe--but no gun. Arrested were David William Jewell of Fremont and 39-year-old Susan Alberta Paulson, a Merc employee. The Merc, presumably after the whir of its own rumor mill reached a cacophonous roar, finally ran a small story on page two of its local section Wednesday, a mere six days after the event. Even with a spate of its own people to quote, the daily dutifully relied upon its trusty flack--police spokesman Louis Quezada--for the facts. ... The only employee quoted was Senior Vice President John Hammett, who was paraphrased at the end of the story saying he had no idea why anyone would want to fire in or on the corporate castle. Eye found this tremendously comforting, since Ridder Park Drive is no place for an employee skeet shooting range, even if it would offer entertainment to the gridlocked cars on 880. Of course, Merc editors may be wise to keep their traps shut. Somebody around there has a gun and, apparently, isn't afraid to use it.
Live! After Death
Lawyers for ex-San Jose Live! prez Charles Greener plan to file a $2 million claim against the city this week for allegedly screwing up his plans to sell the sports bar/club. Greener tried to unload the club--which permanently shut off its satellites and beer taps two weeks ago--last year to Jillian Entertainment Corp. But Jillian nixed the deal when the company discovered that the city hadn't renewed the club's conditional use permit. Greener supposedly tried to save the deal by securing a new permit from the city, but the club and Redevelopment Agency staff couldn't agree to terms. Greener and company hoped to argue their case before the Planning Commission, but agency staff repeatedly yanked the club's permit application from the commission's agenda during the past year, says club barrister Bill Gates. So, guess what's scheduled to appear on this week's commission agenda now that San Jose Live! has shut down? That's right, the club's permit application, Gates sniffs. This time, however, the city is asking Gates to put something in writing to take the item off the agenda. But Gates, smelling a veiled legal maneuver by the city, says no way. "The hearing before the Planning Commission," he proclaims, "will show the extent the city went to put our client's club out of business."
Turn Coat
Those who become political consultants often do so after contemplating running for public office and then realizing that it's safer to remain behind the scenes. But Greg Sellers, a consultant for Strategy Source, has long toyed with the idea of running for City Council in his native Morgan Hill. Finally, the thirtysomething daddy of two has decided, once and for all, that he's going to do it. "I'm looking forward to it," Sellers says. "We've got some good leadership on there, but there are some missing elements. I grew up in the community. And personally, it's a good time to run." By that he means that next year, an off-election year, there won't be as much work for those in his field. Still, he promises to work a reduced schedule if elected. And, yes, he's running his own campaign.

Tom Jacobs valued ImClone at $10.67 a share at the end of January, when its future was up in the air. There is plenty of uncertainty left, but its lead drug Erbitux has at least a good shot at approval in the next year, and competitors haven't cornered the market. If all goes well, the company could be worth $15.13 a share -- 72% over its current price -- but it's an absolute gamble.
[On the day after this article was published, the Wall Street Journal ran a p. 1 story detailing former ImClone CEO Samuel Waksal's history as a scientific researcher of fabricating and manipulating data. While Waksal-era data on ImClone's Erbitux may still be credible, and post-Waksal data may prove more reliable, this major uncertainty is another strong reason to steer clear of the stock.] Some call biotech investing a lottery -- or worse. Investors in established or upstart biotech drug makers must have strong stomachs. Most drug candidates fail, and even late-stage hopefuls sometimes produce disappointing data after showing initial promise. A new company riding on one big drug lives or dies on its prospects: If it fails, look out. Even if it does win FDA approval, it still may not be a success in the marketplace. By now, the name "ImClone" is synonymous with this risk. Last December, the FDA stunned investors and biotech drug maker ImClone Systems (Nasdaq: IMCL) by refusing to accept its application for approval of its colorectal cancer treatment Erbitux. On the basis of early data and because of the lack of treatments for colorectal cancer patients who were not responding to often-used chemotherapy agent irinotecan, the FDA granted Erbitux fast-track status. This meant it would review the data on a rolling basis. However, it refused the application to do so. Whew. This is a very big deal for a drug maker, and it was especially so for ImClone, for two reasons: First, Erbitux was the unprofitable, cash-eating company's sole lead product candidate; second, it was the most advanced of a new class of drugs called epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) inhibitors, designed to slow or turn off a protein believed to be important in over 50% of certain lung, head and neck, and gastrointestinal cancer tumors. In drug land, the first of a new treatment through the FDA's gate usually becomes the standard against which subsequent candidates are measured. Kinda like, "So, uh, we've got one of those. What makes yours different and better? Can it dance on the head of a pin?" Merely building an equally good mousetrap doesn't cut it. Losing your inhibitors This week has been kinder to ImClone's competitors. Tarceva, already under FDA fast-track status since May, gained another fast-track designation Monday for certain non-small cell (NSC) lung cancer treatment uses. And despite lowered expectations from AstraZeneca management, an FDA advisory panel Tuesday recommended the FDA approve Iressa for the same cancer in advanced stages where other treatments have failed. The FDA usually follows the panel's advice, though not always. But investors need to scrutinize approval -- or the prospects for approval -- of a cancer drug carefully. Because cancer is so deadly serious and the side effects from standard chemotherapy so severe, the FDA may approve drugs that have little benefit for a small subset of patients. That appears to be the case with Iressa. AstraZeneca reported mediocre data from Iressa in human trials, preparing the market for disappointment from the FDA panel. Yet the advisory panel recommended approval because of clear benefits for a small subset of patients, even if it isn't widely helpful. That's good for doctors and patients. But for investors, that approval comes with the probability the drug's limited benefits will mean limited profits. Ditto Tarceva, where the fast-track status is for very limited, late-stage lung cancer when one or even two other standard treatments have failed. Doctors will use these when they have no alternatives. Hardly blockbuster material. True, these drugs are in trials for other cancers, and they may prove more effective elsewhere. But so far, they haven't raised the bar so high that Erbitux looks like a come-lately loser -- and, in fact, suggest if Erbitux possesses its touted benefits, approval is at least as likely as before, if not more so. The crucial issue for investors will be whether any EGFR inhibitor can extend survival in more than one cancer. Then there's big money. What we know today Today, we know more: Buy ImClone? That's a lot of appearances. With which we need not keep up. But there are fewer uncertainties now than in January. Using a 15% discount rate, assuming that Erbitux is approved in 2003 and ramps over a few years to $1 billion in revenue, I compute a value of $15.13 a share. That's assuming no new revenue from other drugs in development. At $8.96, ImClone shares sell at a substantial discount, but what a risk! Erbitux might not be approved, or it might be approved with limited prospects (like Iressa). Or, sure, it could expand beyond colorectal cancer and be a real blockbuster, billions and billions served. Who knows? That's a lotta coulds. It's always difficult to write about a company with a new treatment, because you hope it works and patients will be helped. But investing is about your financial future. If you simply must do something about a biotech urge, and unless you have money to light with a match, why not just start a dividend reinvestment plan with Johnson & Johnson (NYSE: JNJ), which buys you its Centocor and Ortho Biotech biotech operations as well as its gold-plated consumer brand? You'll sleep better. If you're really revved up, tell us your biotech investing ideas on our Biotechnology discussion board. Tom Jacobs (TMF Tom9) currently causes others to need medication, but takes none himself. At press time, he owned no shares in companies mentioned in this story. To see his stock holdings, view his profile, and check out The Motley Fool's disclosure policy.
That's why when the FDA dealt ImClone the blow, it did more than slow it down. It gave valuable time to competing EGFR inhibitors Iressa, from AstraZeneca (NYSE: AZN), Tarceva from OSI Pharmaceuticals (Nasdaq: OSIP) and Genentech (NYSE: DNA), and ABX-EGF from Abgenix (Nasdaq: ABGX) and Amgen's (Nasdaq: AMGN) Immunex unit.
So, at least for now, Erbitux is still in the running. ImClone must conduct more tests to beef up its data and reanalyze existing data before resubmitting its application. The company is now hoping for approval in 2003. Back in January, I valued the company at about $10.67 a share based on probabilities for five different outcomes. We didn't know whether:
I invest in high-risk companies often, but experience over the last few years has taught me to give this opportunity a wide berth. ImClone appears to have enough money to see the rest of the data-gathering process through and resubmit the Erbitux application. The drug appears to have a good shot at approval. Trials of the drug for other indications appear to show potential for efficacy in other cancers besides colorectal. Former management clearly lost investor confidence, and while it appears that the problem is gone, this whole brother thing is a bit weird for me.

Stock photos are an easy and pretty way to create depth on your blog. There are many sites where you can find beautiful stock photos and today I want to share my favourites with you.
Let's see where to find pretty photos and how to use them, shall we?
You've probably heard of Unsplash and Death to the Stock Photos, right? They are perfectly awesome places for great photos, but there are more. Here are six other amazing sources of beautiful creative business & blog worthy images:
WHERE TO FIND STOCK PHOTOS FOR YOUR creative BLOG
Look for photos that match the mood of your blog – too dark, too colourful , or too cluttered? Be picky! When you find a suitable image, don't use it 'as is' – brand it!
Here is how:
- Use a filter or overlay colour that matches your brand look&feel.
- Crop it and use only part of the image.
- Cover the photo with your a transparent version of your brand colour and add text.
Use them as a tool
Don't forget – everybody can use the same photos as you. They are not your story, they are a tool that can help you tell your story. Look for photos that can help you do that, not just for pretty pictures you feel drawn to.
Make sure they are really free
Most sites use the Creative Commons licence and if the picture you've chosen is marked as CC0, you're good to go. This is a "no rights reserved" licence and you can, use the image "as is" or alter it, and you are not requred to give credit.
All other licenses have some form of terms and conditions, so read them carefully, just to be on the safe side. And when in doubt, ask the artist or the website where you found the image.
Always Give credit where credit's due
Enough said.
Where do you find your stock photos?
And how do you match them to your blog? Or do you prefer to shoot all your pictures yourself? Share your thoughts in the comments below.
Stay creative!

Hans Gerhard Creutzfeldt
Hans Gerhard Creutzfeldt | |
Born | June 2, 1885 Harburg upon Elbe |
Died | December 30, 1964 (aged 79) Munich |
Nationality | German |
Occupation | Doctor |
Known for | Research of brain diseases |
Hans Gerhard Creutzfeldt (June 2, 1885 – December 30, 1964) was a German neuropathologist, who first described the Creutzfeldt–Jakob disease. He was born in Harburg upon Elbe and died in Munich.
Hans Gerhard Creutzfeldt was born into a medical family in Harburg, which was incorporated into Hamburg in 1937. In 1903, at the age of 18, he was drafted into the German army and spent his service stationed in Kiel. Afterwards, he attended the School of Medicine of the Universities of University of Jena and University of Rostock,[1] receiving his doctorate at the latter in 1909. Part of his practical training was undertaken at St. Georg – Hospital in Hamburg. After qualification he sought adventure as a ship's surgeon, voyaging the Pacific Ocean, taking the opportunity to study local crafts, linguistics, and tropical plants.
After returning to Germany, Creutzfeldt worked at the Neurological Institute in Frankfurt am Main, at the psychiatric-neurological clinics in Breslau, Kiel and Berlin, and at the Deutsche Forschungsanstalt für Psychiatrie in Munich. He was habilitated at Kiel in 1920, and in 1925 became Extraordinarius of psychiatry and neurology. In 1938 he was appointed professor and director of the university psychiatric and neurological division in Kiel. He helped to recognise a neurodegenerative disease, with Alfons Maria Jakob, Creutzfeldt–Jakob disease in which the brain tissue develops holes and takes on a sponge-like texture. It is now known it is due to a type of infectious protein called a prion. Prions are misfolded proteins which replicate by converting their properly folded counterparts.
In the Third Reich Creutzfeldt became a Patron Member of Heinrich Himmler's SS.
Second world war[edit]
Creutzfeldt was 54 years old when the Second World War broke out. He was unmoved by the Nazi regime and was able to save some people from death in concentration camps and also managed to rescue almost all of his patients from being murdered under the Nazi Action T4 euthanasia program, an unusual event since most mental patients identified by T4 personnel were gassed or poisoned at separate euthanasia clinics such as Hadamar Euthanasia Centre. During the war, bombing raids destroyed his home and clinic.
After the war he was director of the University of Kiel for six months, before being dismissed by the British occupation forces. His efforts to rebuild the university caused a series of conflicts with the British because he wanted to allow more former army officers to study there. In 1953 he moved on to Munich to work on scientific research commissioned by the Max Planck Society. He died in 1964 in Munich.
He was married to Clara Sombart, a daughter of Werner Sombart. They had five children, among them Otto Detlev Creutzfeldt and Werner Creutzfeldt (1924–2006), a renowned German Internist.
See also[edit]
- Creutzfeldt–Jakob disease, a subacute spongiform encephalopathy caused from prions involving the cerebral cortex, the basal ganglia and the spinal cord.
- Adrenoleukodystrophy, a rare demyelination disorder also known as Siemerling-Creutzfeldt Disease causing progressive brain damage, adrenal failure, and eventually death.

I like the top half of the away Jersey, very nice. It seems someone at Nike is actually trying. Then he gets muzzled or something. Love the top half design, but under the Pirelli logo is abit barren. It should have been a phase coloring from white into another color. Still atleast someone is making an attempt, rather than shitting out our kits like its an after thought.
They're all ok, I just don't like the stitching on the sleeve ends. Looks fucking cheap.
"A Black Hearted Slave, For The Blue Blood Kings, Bleeding For The Team, And The Titles They Bring"
Forza Inter*CAMPIONE DEL MONDO* 2009//2010-- COPPA ITALIA -- SERIE A -- UEFA CHAMPIONS LEAGUE --
No way this is true!!! These kits are gold! Im lovin it!
But seriously I would rather see this one, im used to inter using a white away jersey with no cows and bells
so when is this youth project starting
at least it isn't red
nah man im praying that home one is real at least, its fucking awesome
Bayern Munich 0 - 2 FC Internazionale Milano
35" Diego Milito
70" Diego Milito
Yup that would be the bad side...otherwise they're both fine - nothing to be extremely excited about but look good enough.
On the other side - I would really like something yellow for away kit - after all if it could have been red last year then why not?!?
Something like this one but without the awful collar:
Shouldnt these be the real deal?
The away one seems to be a retro of this old away from Inter:
Bwahahahaha!!! What man would voluntarily impregnate a woman while being sober?! Our fathers were all drunk.
-LionheartGet your fucking shit together you worthless, spineless, brainless fucking cunts.
-UniverseFUCK BARCA
Those are terribly boring.
Having worked in redesigning several existing templates / catalogues, I understand first hand, how hard it can be to come up with creating a new look for an existing product and making something fresh while sticking with tradition. Of course every home jersey is going to be vertical blue and black stripes, and that is a binding rule, but there are so many subtle ways to make the jersey more visually interesting. Adding 'features' here and there can make a 'standard' jersey into something minimal yet classy and striking.
Those however, are just feature-less and more boring than a matchup between Ranieri and Strama.
**I move away from the mic to breathe in
They are like untweaked basic shirts, but still better than the current kits.
Bwahahahaha!!! What man would voluntarily impregnate a woman while being sober?! Our fathers were all drunk.
-LionheartGet your fucking shit together you worthless, spineless, brainless fucking cunts.
-UniverseFUCK BARCA
It would be nice to have something new and fresh on the home shirt too - to represent the new year zero of our project
If those are real than I'm not too impressed. The home one is decent and I like the white collar but I've never been a fan of thin stripes (11/12 jersey was ugly in my opinion). The white one is ugly and plain...looks like a training jersey. This years home jerseys have been the best in a while.

The other very cool thing was that the kitchen was open. We could watch the ...
Sat 18 Jul - Boat docked in Amsterdam
... Huis was moving. Avoided the long queues by booking on the boat..cost extra but well worth the bypassing of the long queue. The day after we arrived in Amsterdam we decided to go for an early morning walk to the Anne Frank house which was just 1.5 km from the hotel. We got there about 7:15 and there were about 20 people in the queue. The AF house opens at 9am and one in the queue told us she arrived at 9am ...

The birds that captured my attention the most were the Mourning Doves. A group of them alternated between perching out on a wire despite the unfavorable conditions and foraging under the bird feeders. Seeing them backlit on a wire against a gray sky emphasizes their shape: a small head and bill, a puffed up body (almost round on some of the birds), and a long, narrow tail. Even with barely any color, they were still recognizable as Mourning Doves.
This Mourning Dove was showing off its warm brown breast feathers and white-tipped tail feathers as it took shelter in the branches of a tree. The feature I found particularly intriguing was the white puff above its bill. It seems that the doves can fluff out those feathers in a way I had not previously noticed. Now matter how many times I have looked at a bird, there is always something new to see!
Yesterday was the last day to observe birds for the Great Backyard Bird Count, but you can continue to enter checklists from the weekend until March 1. So if you watched birds this weekend but have not entered them into the GBBC website yet, make sure you enter them this week!

Freaky 1st Time Teen |
Description: Newly 19 and a high school graduate from Jersey, this sultry, curvy blonde is all tatted up and ready for some on screen filth. She's got a lot of piercings, so you know she's as freaky as she is young. When she shimmies out of her jeans, you see her fresh, clean, bald pussy lips and fishnet stockings. She seems to know what she's doing with the vibrators and gets very wet very quickly. With one toy in her mouth and the other buzzing her clit, she lets the cameraman fingerblast her while she laughs and moans. |

This thing is awesome. I was skeptical at first because of the non-total seat coverage/height and the material but my dog loves riding along now after always previously hating car rides. If you plan to regularly have people riding in your backseat this is a must own because it installs/uninstalls in seconds and leaves your back seat in beautiful condition, thereby not forcing the backseat passengers to ruin their outfits by sitting in a seat full of doggy fur.

Talk:Todd Snap
UK airings
I'm almost positive that he is Todd in the UK airings and we don't even get the Kids WB censorship. --FabuVinny T-C-S 23:40, 12 September 2007 (UTC)
I remember some magazine once mentioned this character's name being Fetch in the game. This is most likely an editorial mistake, but I wonder if somebody else saw such a name published in other media. If it was a prototype name, then it should probably be placed here as trivia. --Johans 20:17, 23 November 2007 (UTC)
Todd Snap?
In the update to www.pokemon.com about Pokemon Snap on Virtual Console, it calls this character "Todd Snap", implying that Todd is his given name, and Snap is his last name. Should this be reflected in the article?--PikamasterADV 04:49, 1 December 2007 (UTC)
In the anime first?!
He appeared in the anime before he appeared in the games, since Snap didn't come out until early 1999 in Japan while EP055 came out in mid-1998. That makes him the first anime-created character to appear in Special, am I right? TTEchidna 19:45, 14 June 2009 (UTC)
Camper Todd
Is there any indication that Todd is/isn't the Camper found on Route 34? Gen II was released a year after his anime debut, and I think they'd have to have known they were naming an NPC the same as an anime character... Korossyl 20:42, 13 March 2012 (UTC)
- Not at all. However I would imagine this happens from time to time where the name of an anime character matches the name of a random NPC in the games. Frozen Fennec 20:44, 13 March 2012 (UTC)
- Snap's Japanese name is トオル Tōru, while the Camper's name is ヨウイチ Yōichi, so they're not the same. And if it were a reference in the English version, they would have had him say something about cameras, or some other info relevant to Todd Snap. XVuvuzela2010X 22:12, 13 March 2012 (UTC)
"In other games"
Should this section actually be there under Story? It's just mentioning the vehicle, not Todd at all so I don't think it should belong on this page. ☆The Solar Dragon☆ 21:40, 13 March 2012 (UTC)
- The trophy mentions a vehicle in the game. I think it's fine. :) Frozen Fennec 01:08, 14 March 2012 (UTC)
"Does anyone know where I can watch the episodes that have him named Todd?")
I really don't like his name as Snap and I would really like to watch his episodes where he is named Todd. Could someone please tell me where I can do so?

Addiction: Substance Abuse The Hard Facts
Inhalants are more popular with younger students than older ones and provide an increased danger due to unknown personal reactions based on the amounts of substance inhaled and the users� health.
Prevention must occur drug-by-drug, because knowledge of the adverse consequences of one drug will not necessarily generalize to the use of other drugs. Students� beliefs and attitudes are specific to each drug.
Over half (55%) of young teens have tried an illicit drug by the time they have finished high school.
More than one third (37%) who have tried an inhalant have done so as early as the 8th grade.
Males have somewhat higher rates of illicit drug use than females.
It is not just in the city. In the last few years, the use of a number of drugs has declined in the urban (city) areas, leaving the non-urban areas with higher rates of use.
Many drugs are "cut" with or contain other drugs within them. These combinations increase the danger for an adverse reaction. This is especially true with the drug known as Ecstasy.
Mixing alcohol with drugs most often increases the risk of harmful or adverse effects of that drug.
In 1999, over 500,000 serious drug-related emergency room episodes were reported. 52,783 were students, ages 12 to 17, representing over 10% of the illnesses or deaths recorded.

Is this the case for all L138 SOM? Is there anyway around it?
