U.S. stocks receded from record levels on Friday as investors locked in profits after the October payroll report came in weaker than expected, even as the report pointed to economic resilience in the face of slowing global demand. Dow Jones industrial average futures were up 0.02 percent at 17,508, S&P 500 futures were up 0.10 percent at 2,030 and Nasdaq 100 futures were down 0.14 percent at 4,157.
** WALT DISNEY CO, $89.39, -2.84 pct
The media and theme park giant posted a quarterly profit that fell in line with Wall Street expectations as it rode the blockbuster performance of its movie box office hits "Maleficent" and "Guardians of the Galaxy."
But operating income at its sports behemoth ESPN fell due to higher contract rates for high-end National Football League and Major League Baseball games, which helped drag the company's cable networks unit down by 1 percent to $1.3 billion.
The drop at cable networks, the company's largest unit, likely drove Disney shares lower, said Gabelli & Company analyst Brett Harriss, who rates Disney a "hold."
** TRANSOCEAN LTD, $29.45, -1.57 pct
The rig contractor expects to incur impairment charges of $2.76 billion in the third quarter as it grapples with an oversupplied offshore drilling market, and said it would delay its quarterly results. Continued...

Why is it so important to change the oil in your new Scion?
When you plunk down a chunk of change on a new Scion, chances are you want it to stay that way as long as possible – like new. There are a lot of different steps you can take to maintain your car's appearance, but don't forget about what's under the hood! Keeping up with routine maintenance like Orlando oil changes is absolutely essential to both performance and resale value, not to mention reliability!
When are you due for an oil change?
You should always stay on top of all routine auto service in Orlando when it comes to your new Scion, but getting regular oil changes is probably one of the most important elements in keeping things running smoothly and efficiently. How do you know when you're due, though? Oil changes are typically scheduled according to one of two factors:
You can check your owner's manual to see the actual numbers for your particular car, but oil changes in Orlando should typically be set whenever you hit either benchmark (for example let's say you hit the mileage but you're still under the time benchmark – schedule your auto service anyways!).
You should also consult your owner's manual in your new Scion to see what type of oil you should use when you get an oil change in Orlando, and feel free to let our service techs know. They can get your auto service scheduled, get it taken care of quickly, and have you back on the road in no time (and even send you helpful reminders when you're due for the next one!).
You can also check to see if you're due – just pull out the dipstick that's located in the engine and examine it. Does the oil level fall in between the two markers and is it a tan/caramel color? If it doesn't meet both of these conditions, then you should call our Toyota Scion Service Center to get auto service scheduled!
Why is this Orlando auto service so imperative?
Why are quick oil changes in Orlando so important, though? Oil keeps your engine cool and running efficiently and smoothly. Without it, your engine would overheat and cause damage to the internal parts, possibly even causing them to melt together and make your engine seize up!
Oil also needs to be clean (thus the tan or caramel color that we mentioned earlier). If it's dirty, particle of debris can impede performance and cause issues on the inside of your engine (which typically leads to expensive repairs and time spent in the shop).
Without routine oil changes, your new Scion will undoubtedly be faced with engine problems, lose major resale value, and you can kiss its reliability and performance capabilities goodbye. Why take the chance? Schedule this exceptionally important auto service today!
You can give our Orlando Toyota Scion Service Center a ring to set up your appointment – they're open seven days a week at (866) 945-0493, and don't forget to ask about our money-saving Toyota Service Coupons!

I think what's going on is pretty simple. Kouko has decided that--perhaps after seeing Chinami's footage--that's she's a roadblock to Banri's mental health. In said footage, he's rolling around, begging everyone not to tell Kouko about what's going on, obviously in anguish over the idea of hurting her. (Even if she didn't see the footage, the fact that he ran away and didn't come back for dinner makes it seem like he stood her up and avoided the issue entirely, so I could see Kouko blaming herself for trying to push him into something before he was ready in order to ease her mind.)
So, what's the best way to remove herself from Banri's life without causing him any more pain in the process? (To her), it's simple, right? You just act like a callous, cruel jerk who was using him for fun and was never invested in the relationship to begin with, therefore he'll get upset at her and think he's well rid of an asshole like that.
Really, I'll be less impressed with Banri if he lets such a ridiculously hare-brained--one might even say Kouko-esque--scheme keep them apart for any length of time.

wow. episode 21 was intense.
I liked the role reversal in the first half with Banri and Koko.
In the beginning, Koko was the emotionally unstable one, while Banri had skeletons in the closet, he was mostly under control, and tried to put up a strong front.
Now Banri is the emotionally unstable one, and Koko has to put up the strong front to protect Banri.
Chinami's confession was okay. Banri having another memoryjump was intense.
Didn't like that Yana still doesn't know what's going on, and just settled with "trying to support without knowing anything" It kind of hurts me that Yana despite his mostly good intentions thruout the whole series, is the most distanced from the rest of the characters. He knows the least of what's going on.
Nana pissed me off, she just keeps on smacking Banri without knowing what's going on, and acts like she's without any flaws.
Ouch @ Koko at the end.
I think she's doing it because she knows the conflict that is eating Banri's mind back and forth is his attachment to Koko. So instead of having him suffer, Koko thought it best for Banri to remove the attachment so he wouldn't suffer. Even at the cost of her heart.

I don't agree with it, though I can at least see why Kouko would do it, and I'll be extremely disappointed if Banri just lets her go like that. He knows the real Kouko, and he knows she wouldn't really have gone through all that they did as a couple and then just reject him and blame it on a stupid plan that she gave up on after episode four. Then again, with how badly his memories are effecting him, it's possible he might not have much choice .
Still, overall, it was nice seeing Kouko supporting Banri, both in telling him to face his past and not run away from it and by helping him finally open up to his friends about the past. With the lengths she's going to help Banri, even when he's partially against it, I'd hate to see her lose the person she loves, either because of what she's done now or because of Banri's memories .
I think Nana just enjoys hitting people. Though, admittedly, slapping someone is pretty much universally seen as the way to knock sense into people. At least in anime .
It was nice to see Chinami finally apologize for her actions in the episode, and confess to Banri what a lot of people had already guessed: that she likes Mitsuo and that her feelings for him, and the possibility that she may have completely lost her chance with him, have been making her act out. I just thought overall that the scene between her and Banri, before his memories started coming back, was pretty nice and powerful. I genuinely hope Chinami can end up happy by the end of the series .
Leave it to the team of Mitsuo and 2D-Kun to stop Banri in his tracks and leave him with a bloody nose. Seriously, these two are already practically their own OTP .
It was good to see Mitsuo and 2D, already kind of aware of Banri's "situation," promising to support him, the Banri that's in front of them at that very moment, no matter what. Even if they don't really have a clue exactly what's going on with him.
The preview gives off a surprisingly positive mood despite the last scene of the episode, so it'll be very interesting to see where things continue now that the anime staff is likely continuing the show based off of Takemiya's notes. I'm quite curious to see how Banri's memory problems will ultimately be handled and how what he recorded with Chinami might play a part.

Banri needs her. He thought she was his only hope for staying in the world. Kouko is his salvation. But she left him. Even after she said to love all of him, promised to stay with him forever and save him. It is so cruel.
the conflict that is eating Banri's mind back and forth is his attachment to Linda not Kouko.
Well, at least Banri still has Linda. Everything will gonna be alright.

Right now, its the attachment to Kouko that's bringing conflict now. Like the past 3 outbreaks, he was able to come back only from remembering Kouko. He's only calling Linda for help because that's what the past self was like, and also the only named character both he and the audience knows to bring up.
If Kouko wasn't there, Banri would have fully lapsed back into the banri frozen in time. Even though we see that the current banri doesn't want that, Kouko might think its better for it to happen one way or the other. "Maybe it was just meant to be"
If so, let it happen cleanly, instead of making Banri suffer during the transition.

I have to say that this is the first episode that makes me wonder what is going to happen next. but then I saw the preview and that feeling dissapeared when I saw them happy.
idk why he couldn't tell to mitsuo about the accident and his problem with his memory, he is probably the first friend he got after loosing the memory, even 2D-kun knows more about banri than Mitsuo. Also he was already sure to tell everyone about that but at the end he didn't say anything.

It's rather depressing to watch Banri as he goes trough a psycothic episode, and it left me wondering, why is it that when he get's all his memories, he get's lost and forgets the present? I mean, even Ghost Banri was aware of how much time had passed..

text: Posted: Wednesday, December 1, 2010 12:00 am Cowboys trump Rams in TV plans The last-place Dallas Cowboys, rather than the tied-for-first-place Rams, have been deemed by the NFL to be a more attractive team for prime time. The league announced Tuesday that it is sticking with the Cowboys-Eagles matchup Dec. 12 for that day's showcase NBC Sunday night game rather than exercising its option to switch to a more appealing matchup. Under consideration was the Rams-Saints contest — New Orleans (8-3) has the best record of the aforementioned teams, with Philadelphia at 7-4, the Rams 5-6 and Dallas 3-8. But the Cowboys have a big national following despite their down year and the league might have been concerned that the inconsistent Rams could lose to Arizona on Sunday, thus providing NBC with a sub-.500 team anyway in Week 14.

The search.
Morgan was in trouble. For such a quiet kid she had guts. I also felt extremely proud of her.
The rain was stopping as Mrs.B and I ran from the house. Well I ran. Mrs.B moves very quick for an older lady but still maintains grace.
"Find her exactly" I tried to link with her. Normally a link wouldn't be this strong but she was my daughter.
"This way" Mrs.B knew exactly what I was picking up on. In her old boots she walked through the feild remaining clam. I could feel she was worried for morgan but she was maintaining a calm structure. It gave me more faith in morgan aswell. If Mrs.B hadn't been pushing me on I would have stopped in my tracks, there was someone else in trouble. Someone else I knew. Such a faint link but still it existed.
As the looming flat drew closer and closer I began calling for morgan.
"Morgan! Morgan?" I projected my voice across the landscape waking birds from their nests and causing them to fly out of their trees. There was no reply but she couldn't be far.
"Over there, where the ravens have started to circle." Mrs.B. hiched up her skirt and moved towards a black swirling mass of silent birds.

... they were so chilled out with our presence there, that you probably could touch them if you wanted to. I think that they are just so used to these aquatically awkward animals hovering above them! We have seen some of our friends pictures from Caye Caulker (Belize) where we will be in about a week or two's time, and they got some amazing pictures of a whole variety of sealife. So we are very excited to do as much snorkeling as we can there.

Doesn't work too well under W7. Performance tab doesn't do anything; I get access errors with other stuff (which is weird, because I have admin privs). But I'll keep trying for a while.
Yes it does have minor niggles with the plugins, but for a basic toolbar replacement it's been working well for me so far
Humph! I wish someone could tell me why I don't have the privs to install any of the plugins. And what I can do it.
Just got here from sevenforum. Was banned for arguing that toolbars were important. Very odd M$ groupies over there. I have been running toolbars since 98 and am still on XP. Got my little bro to be guinea pig on his machine and to my shock/awe/despair Toolbars were a no-go. I did a bit of research and quizzed my friends running the beta and still nothing. Then the very rude high ranking people on sevenforums basically said "M$ is the best and you suck for wanting to do something that our new God OS cant do and your a dodo head.. all hail M$ and Win7 4 Life bitch... your banned" Now I'm hear to put a checkbox in the "I use toolbars" column. My current.
Nice, Zeos. Consider yourself among friends in this thread!
Well I tried that Desktop Sidebar program posted by FASTY. Not bad. The skin editor is total $&*% and I cant figure out how to give each panel a 1 pixel separation line but finally got the color and text correct to match my theme. BUT the "main" uses are perfect. Launching programs works as it does on the normal XP/Vista toolbars but with the Drive listings on top you cannot set "my computer" as a root. So I have a folder labeled "my computer" that is filled with shortcuts to all of my hard-drives. That means it will not add a usb-key or external HD I turn on automatically. However it does automatically update the contents of folders to the bar. Note I am doing this testing on my XP machine and will throw it on my brothers Win7 soon to check for issues.
Hi, I've found this software that emulate old windows XP and vista capability to dock a folder on ad edge of the desktop. Is opensource and don't need installation. https://sourceforge.net/p/sevendeskbar/home/ It's an apha release but work's great!
Thanks for that link... It's a good start but still needs a lot more features to match Desktop Sidebar or the original xp/vista toolbar function
Hi, effectivley the software is an alpha version if You have a small amount of time write into discussion board, or open a new ticket, list of missing function in order to make this software better Best regards
Since this thread was bumped I will update. I have basically given in to M$'s absurdity and have only my task bar but docked and hidden on the right side. I think it works out well! The bottom of the screen is a bad place for it anyways. A list view of running programs instead of a long bar filled with them just seems correct.
Still there is nothing like the toolbars in XP. I had a "My Computer" bar on the left side of my left monitor and had the ability to add two more to top or bottom since my task bar has always been on the right side of my right monitor. And I have seen just about every alternative out there and none of them stack up. Maybe in Windows 8.
I don't use this anymore. It started messing up. Now I use this. Welcome to Classic Shell It's like the Classic Start Menu in previous versions of Windows only improved. I have no desktop icons or docks. I like a clean desktop.
I'm confident this program called Coolbarz will satisfy some of you. It was created because of the missing dockable toolbars in Win7. www.bryntyounce.com/coolbarz.htm
I too was extremely... unhappy... to find out that Microsoft removed this functionality. It's really a show stopper for me, but I have to use Win7 at work now, so I went ahead and wrote my own docking toolbar. It's a left-side, auto-hiding docked toolbar. It allows you to drag and drop files or shortcuts on the toolbar, very similar to the old toolbars. I tried to keep the look and feel as close as I could get it to the original. It's not customizable very much (because I just wrote it for what I need), but anyone is free to use it if they happen to also prefer a left-side, auto-hiding, single column-width docked toolbar. Maybe if I get a lot of interest I'll add features (like choosing where it can dock and resizing it and what not). It's called the SIMS Toolbar, which either refers to the fact that it "SIMulateS" the old XP toolbar, or it stands for "Suck It, MicroSoft!".... You can decide for yourself. :^D http://www.musicalnerdery.com/files/soft/SIMSToolsSetup.zip WATYF
WATYF Thank you for the utility, would also like to say it works fine in the windows 8 Developer preview. I'll post it over there if you don't mind
Cool. Thanks for testing it out. WATYF
I believe that this loss of usability is Microsoft trying to 'simplify' things for 'average' users. I am a power user, always have been. There is no longer a choice to be a power user in Microsoft, that is being taken away. If Windows leaves us behind like this, I see no alternative but to switch operating systems. Think about it... how many critical features have you seen removed or altered to the point of uselessness because of this drive for simplicity. Where will we be in twenty years and how many thousands of hours will we have collectively spent trying to restore functionality? Windows isn't worth the hassle anymore and I don't see a bright future anymore. Not one with me as a user.

The Lion's Slave(2007)
(A book in the Greek Tales series)
A Chapter Book by Terry Deary
213 BC. The great inventor Archimedes has just one problem. His clumsy servant, young Lydia, is the bane of his life. But when the Romans besiege Syracuse, and the Greeks turn to Archimedes for help, it is young Lydia who always seems to come up with the answers. Of course Archimedes is a lion in the eyes of the folk of Syracuse. He takes all the credit, but that's life for a Greek girl slave. As Aesop said, 'You may share the labours of the great, but you will not share the rewards.'

Chapter 6 Warm Cold
Mara slept for hours after crying herself to sleep. When she woke up, she was still lying on
the mattress in the main cavern. Kaze and Joshua could not be seen. Mara sat up, and
sat on the edge of the mattress, trying to regain her bearings after being away for so long.
No. I don't think I was gone for very long, but it feels like I've lived a whole other lifetime.
I didn't live it as myself either. Or was it me? Mara got up unsteadily, then slowly walked
towards the back of the cavern, heading for the hot spring. A bath felt long overdue,
though she wasn't sure why. Mara managed to stumble into the steamy chamber without
a problem, and slowly coaxed her fingers into removing the clothing that she had been
wearing on the hilltop. Mara was fumbling with the buttons, staring at them, like she had
almost forgotten how to remove buttons, or what it was like to wear clothing at all. It feels odd wearing clothes. I haven't worn them in so long... And were those buttons always
so tricky to undo?
Finally Mara freed herself from the clothing, and stepped into the warm waters that were
always waiting for her. That feels so much better now. Where did the soap go, I need to
scrub myself clean. A quick glance around gave Mara her answer, and she grabbed the
soap and a washcloth that was sitting near it. Mara quickly lathered, then began
scrubbing off dirt, mattress dust, and confusion from her skin, working her way down.
She stopped for a moment, contemplating her body. I really am a woman, huh? I thought
I was a man for so long, it almost doesn't feel right being back in this body. Actually,
I'm not sure I ever left this body. But, really, thinking that I lived a whole other life
as a man - that's not like me at all. I wonder what's going on, maybe Joshua can tell me.

The God/Goddess of Beauty and Love
The Doorkeeper's existential musings were interrupted by the sudden arrival of a rather peculiar-looking being. One minute, there was nothing there, and the next, resting on top of the Wheel of Life, there was a feathery, wispy blue creature, about two feet high and composed largely of a distended pot-belly.
"Yeah, wha' you want?" It barked in an emphysemic voice that put the Doorkeeper in mind of an English construction site worker.
"I umm...the Wheel of Life stopped." He pointed to where the figure was sitting.
It looked down disinterestedly,
"Yeah? wha' you want me to do about it?" He spat sardonically.
The Doorkeeper wasn't quite sure how to respond.
Seeing this, the figure grew more impatient,
"Look, you got your basic options: I can make you young and attractive; I can make that special someone fall in love with you, or I can...and this is strictly under the table...make a certain someone let themselves go..." He pursed his lips into a frown and shrugged, darting his eyes sideway in the Italian-mafia style of discussing something illicit. "What's it to be?"
"I'm not sure what those have to do with..." The Doorkeeper began, but was interrupted again.
"Look pal, I don't have all day, and I don't do mechanical things, so forget about this wheel of yours. Make up your mind, or I'm off, and i'm billing you for time sp...!"
The creature cut off mid-sentence as it noticed what it was sitting on.
"Bloody 'ell! You haven't gone and broken the bloody Wheel of Life, have you?"
"I didn't break it, it just...stopped."
"Stopped? Stopped, he says...oh yeah, Wheels of Life stop every day, we just put up another. Easy as pie, that is..." The creature lamented sarcastically as it circumnavigated the stationary wheel.
The Doorkeeper dared not move, lest the wheel took off again.
"... got the things practically growing on trees, it's not as if it's the ONLY BLOODY WHEEL OF ITS KIND IN EXISTENCE!"
The creature rounded on the Doorkeeper with a vehemence that in anyone else would be alarming bordering on terrifying. From it, however, it just served to underline the absurdity of its appearance and even under the circumstances the Doorkeeper had to suppress a laugh as it beat him around the shins with all the force of an irate goldfish.
"How's a Love-God meant to go about his business when halfwits like you go screwing with the passage of time?!" It demanded.

A mighty bash as Queen drummer Roger Taylor ties the knotBy Katie Nicholl3rd October 2010 After one failed marriage and five children, Queen drummer Roger Taylor has married his girlfriend of six years Sarina Potgieter.The 36-year-old bride wore a purple wedding dress and the celebrations had a black and red theme as the pair staged an unusual ceremony at their homein Surrey last Saturday.Says a friend: 'The whole event was very low-key but incredible fun and light-hearted. All they wanted was a really big knees-up with their pals rather than a formal white wedding.'The reception was in a huge black and red marquee in their garden and all the waiters wore black. The tables were black and they even had black patent leather sofas outside. The theme was almost bondage.'A guest said: 'The music didn't stop before sunrise.'Roger, 61, who is worth around £65 million, has two children with his first wife, Dominique Beyrand, and three with his former girlfriend, the Flake model Deborah Leng.reference: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-1317187/A-might y-bash-Queen-drummer-Roger-Taylor-ties-knot.html

Before you even get to work, you need to perform some preparation. Here are the main things that will make your writing better and easier:
Try to remember this when you define coursework topic.
The coursework definition says the main purpose of it is learning. Therefore, choose the topic you would like to inquire and remember it has to add something new to the sphere, while retelling the findings of others is not enough. If the topic is too hard, or you are new to this type of academic activity, or just busy, this may be the time to resort to a coursework writing service. So, this is how it goes: you press the order button, then give us the required information on the topic or the style. While the writer performs fine coursework help for you, you can stay in touch and discuss the work. And then, you get the ready order. But this is not the end. The best coursework writing services should have the option of revision, and the money back. Both are available at Samedayessay.
It is also a good idea to refer to the best sources and relevant examples of the paper. For example, Stanford university coursework will do. These are superior examples of good work. And if you decided to get a good resume, relevant coursework will help.
Making sure you understand the way it works is really important. Here, at Samedayessay we provide the following:
You'll be glad to put the coursework on resume. If something is still uncertain, please refer to our support team working all day and night long. Press order now and get a proficient result!
"Thank you so much! I was worried this was going to be a scam but I was wrong. You came through with a great paper and by the deadline."
"What amazed me is I really didn't have much information to give to the writer and I had a very short deadline...eek! The paper turned out PERFECT! It was just what I needed. So much stress relief!"
"Are you kidding me? I made my order for 10 days, and received it in less than 6 hours! This is incredible. THANKS A LOT!"

Despite his best efforts, David Cameron couldn't bluster his way through the questions asked of him about his government's handling of the Royal Mail sell-off at Prime Minister's Questions on Wednesday. The fact of the matter is that his government lost hundreds of millions of pounds for taxpayers, who have now been deprived of a treasured national asset.
Perhaps it was the heat of the moment, but Cameron falsely claimed that Labour committed to privatising the Royal Mail in our 2010 manifesto. This is categorically untrue. We recognised, and still do, that the universal postal service delivered by the Royal Mail is a service that connects and binds us together as a country. Critically, for that to continue, ongoing modernisation and investment will be needed by the Royal Mail in the public sector. We stated that in our manifesto. Cameron must now do the right thing: retract his statements and correct the record.
The cavalier way in which Vince Cable and the prime minister have handled this fire sale is epitomised in the comments from the business secretary on the morning shares were traded back in October. What did he think of the significant jump in share price, which indicated that Royal Mail was worth much more than the value given to it by the government? In his words, it was just "froth". But £750m isn't "froth" to the taxpayers who have lost out.
The National Audit Office's report this week revealed that 16 "priority investors" allocated the largest stakes of Royal Mail shares – and who the government claimed would provide long-term stewardship and stability for the privatised company – sold almost half of their shares within weeks, making huge profits as a result. As Ed Miliband said yesterday at PMQs, it would appear that they have been given preferential "mates rates".
Last night Cable denied that there had been any "gentlemen's agreement" between the government and the banks, as had been reported. However, he refused to name the 16 "priority investors". Why won't he name them? He claimed that these investors would provide long-term stewardship and stability for the privatised company. Why won't he tell us what percentage of Royal Mail shares allocated to them are still held by these "priority investors"?
With people up and down the UK facing a cost-of-living crisis, it's time for Cameron and Cable to explain why they are asking hard-working people to pay more, when they were prepared to sell Royal Mail for less. The prime minister must recognise his mistake and admit that Labour never proposed privatisation in 2010 as we have bitterly opposed his ideologically driven fire sale of Royal Mail.

Deals and Financings
PW Medtech Group (HK: 1358), a China medical device company, paid $130 million to acquire Beijing Tianxinfu Medical Appliance, which makes regenerative medical biological materials and orthopedic implant products. In November 2013, PW Medtech staged a $180 million IPO in Hong Kong. PW Medtech's existing business is centered on orthopedic implants and infusion equipment.
Walvax Biotechnology (SHE: 300142), headquartered in China's Yunnan Province, raised $72.8 million in a private placement. Walvax is known as a vaccine company, with vaccines for both meningococcal disease and flu, though it ventured into monoclonal antibodies by acquiring a majority stake in Genor Pharma in December 2013. The company said it would use $51 million of its new capital to pay off existing loans.
Cellular Biomedicine Group (NASDAQ:CBMG), a California-headquartered biotech with a China focus, will acquire Agreen Biotech of China for about $22 million, of which $3.3 million is cash and the remainder is CBMG stock. Both companies are involved in cellular therapeutics. Agreen owns IP-protected tests and preparation technologies for cellular immunotherapies that it is developing to treat tumors, infections and immune disorders.
3SBio in-licensed China rights to a clinical-stage treatment for acute leukemia from DiNonA Inc., a Korean biopharma. Leukotuximab is an anti-JL-1 antibody. 3SBio will make upfront and milestone payments, plus pay royalties on revenues. Specific details were not disclosed. In 2013, 3SBio was taken private by the company's Chairman/CEO and a CITIC Private Equity company for $394 million.
Molecular Targeting Technologies, Inc. (MTTI) of Pennsylvania formed a collaboration with the National Health Research Institutes of Taiwan to develop novel cancer drugs using a delivery technology in-licensed by MTTI. The collaboration has completed proof-of-concept studies in mouse models of colon cancer and will now begin work on identifying lead molecules of a small molecule drug conjugate.
Yabao Pharma (SHA: 600351) partnered with Changzhou Le Sun Pharmaceuticals to co-develop Le Sun's leading molecule, a PLK/PI3K dual inhibitor that is in pre-clinical development for cancer. Yabao acquired exclusive China rights to LS-008 in China while Le Sun Pharma retained most of the exclusive rights in other markets. Founded in 2011, Le Sun Pharma develops oral therapies for cancer.
Solasia Pharma of Tokyo has amended its agreement with Ziopharm Oncology (NASDAQ:ZIOP) of Boston for darinaparsin, a novel treatment for leukemia. In 2011, Solasia in-licensed rights to darinaparsin for Japan, China and other Asia-Pacific countries. With the new agreement, Solasia has global rights to the drug. The revised agreement calls for Solasia to pay Ziopharm up to $72.2 million in milestones, a royalty on net sales and a percentage of any sublicensing revenues. Solasia has already filed to begin clinical trials of darinaparsin in China.
Ventana Medical Systems, a Roche (OTCQX:RHHBY) subsidiary that offers companion diagnostic testing services, will team up with Quintiles to provide its services in China. The services will be offered to biopharma companies conducting early-stage clinical trials of oncology drugs, which want to confirm the existence of a biomarker. Because China does not allow tissue samples to be shipped out of the country, Ventana needed a partner with a China lab.
Company News
The US medical device maker Medtronic (NYSE:MDT) officially opened a new manufacturing facility in Chengdu, where the company will produce hemodialysis machines aimed at second and third tier markets. The machines are easier to move around and, with an easy-to-use interface and advanced sensors, they facilitate remote care - even home use.

This iconic Norfolk school is cruising along very nicely:
they are oversubscribed in every year group (the three-hour
practical assessment apparently doesn't scare anyone off ) and
scored 20 Oxbridge places last year. Described by our insider as a
'day school with many of the attributes of a top boarding school',
Norwich is right on the money (and exceptionally good value). Head
Steffan Griffiths is a big believer in the strong triangular
combination of parents, pupils and school - independence is key so
no over- cosseting, please. The sport is mind-blowing, and there is
GB representation in kayaking, tennis, sailing and showjumping.
Superstar pupils and local children are nurtured by the Young
Norfolk Sports Academy, a school-led initiative that helps with
nutrition, strengthening and sponsorship. A new 300-seat theatre
has been added to the school's assorted portfolio of architectural
wonders (the start of a five-year building plan). The striking
Cathedral Close and its medieval buildings are 'always present,
giving gravitas, providing sanctuary, even promoting good
behaviour', says Mr Griffiths. The catchment area is wide (some
commute up to an hour), and Norwich is taking its
third intake of international students, who, says
the registrar, 'enrich the life of the school'. The citywide

Give compensation to Europe West customers
Riot Games are infamous with their game League of Legends, however for users who live in Europe West, recent persistent server downtime has been annoying almost everyone who wants to enjoy the game. Servers have continually been failing in the last 2 months.
Why have I started a petition about this? For compensation: players who use the North America servers also receive server problems, but not as regularly, but still receive a whopping 2000RP free from Riot Games as compensation. It's been mentioned countless times in the Service Status forums on EU West, but still no RP has been received for the players who live in Europe.
As mentioned many times, this is blatant favouritism, with the fact that Riot being based in America, treat their North American customers with luxuries, while players in Europe receive nothing.
Please sign this petition to make Riot Games show that they care outside of the NA region.

iPhones and iPads have a Do Not Disturb mode which silences calls, alerts, and notifications while the device is locked. It can also restrict who can call you, and the mode itself can be enabled/disabled according to a schedule.

It's not as good as Do Not Disturb though, which is why Android users should install the Do Not Disturb app as soon as possible.
Like the iOS mode, the Do Not Disturb app silences calls, alerts, and notifications whenever it's enabled — but it also does so much more.
The most noteworthy feature is that it pulls calendar data and auto-enables during events. Both Google Calendar and Microsoft Exchange are supported. Then again, you can also manually program Do Not Disturb with unique day and night schedules for each day of the week if you prefer.
This means your Android device will never bother you by surprise again. It also has several other features — like Respond via SMS or Whitelisted Contacts who are ignored when DND is enabled — which make it way more flexible than its iOS counterpart.

Program 1
Northeast Historic Film preserves and makes accessible over ten million feet of film and thousands of hours of video. Our three-story Conservation Center holds our collections and offers storage for consortium partners and others. We received a $500,000 National Endowment for the Humanities Challenge Grant to help raise funds to support an endowment and construction of the Conservation Center. We are currently seeking donations to meet the match. The archives hold more home movies than any other institution in North America, an essential tool for exploring regional, culture, and history from the ground ueducational, and cultural organizations all over North America. We distribute, at low cost to users, video for research and teaching. Many teachers in history, social studies, language arts, and special projects of all kinds use these videos for classroom projects. NHF serves experienced film scholars and historians - but the real strength of NHF is the ability to serve people encountering cultural history for the first time, people studying our built landscape and changing communities, curious about early film, independent filmmaking, and many other topics. NHF is located in one of the oldest surviving cinema buildings in northern New England, The Alamo, which opened in the first decades of motion pictures, when many cinemas were community centers, accommodating local events and live performances. We operate a year round community cinema, staffed by local high school students. The cinema is widely known for offering the best projection and sound in the region.
Program long term success
Successful fundraising campaign to restore the facade of the 1916 Alamo Theatre building, our home. Supported by a grant from the Town of Bucksport, the Davis Family Foundation, all members of the NHF board, and more than 250 individuals.

Mir, Nelson keep it strictly business
Frank Mir's professional fights are never personal.
"If my wife were to get in the ring with me, I would try to knock her out and choke her unconscious," the Ultimate Fighting Championship heavyweight says matter-of-factly.. "No problem. I would flip the switch instantly. Any other day of the week, we don't have that."
Mir and Nelson are slated to fight Saturday as the co-main event of UFC 130 in their mutual hometown of Las Vegas. Although they live and grew up in the same city, have known each for years, trained together briefly and maintain a pleasant friendship, they have no issues going head-to-head.
"I like the guy a lot," says Mir, who has won UFC titles twice. "But during that fight … trust me, Roy's going to try to knock my head off. I'm going to try to knock his head off. And if I can catch him in a choke, I want him to go to sleep, and I guarantee you he would like to take my arm and put it on his mantle."
Three weeks ago, Mir-Nelson was merely an important bout in the 265-pound division. But other fighters' physical problems in the same week abruptly pushed Mir and Nelson to greater prominence and significance.
Lightweight champion Frankie Edgar was supposed to fight Gray Maynard in UFC 130's headline fight. But back and rib injuries forced Edgar off the show; with the titleholder's withdrawal, Maynard also put off a May 28 bout in favor of arthroscopic surgery for a lingering knee problem.
Promoters simply elevated other bouts on the card. Light-heavyweight fighters Quinton Jackson vs. Matt Hamill acquired main-event status and Mir-Nelson grabbed a place in the spotlight as the co-main event.
Three days after the May 9 announcement about Edgar-Maynard, heavyweight ex-champion Brock Lesnar pulled out of a June 11 fight with Junior dos Santos to determine a No. 1 contender for heavyweight champion Cain Velasquez. Lesnar ran into a recurrence of an intestinal infection that shelved him for several months in 2009 and 2010.
That pushed top-10 heavyweight Shane Carwin, who would have been a logical opponent for the winner of Mir-Nelson, directly into the contender's bout with dos Santos. Mir believes that means he and Nelson will decide the No. 2 contender.
Mir perceives the situation correctly, says UFC President Dana White, adding that the winner of UFC 130's co-main event would be "in the mix," his favorite phrase for fighters who deserve consideration for championship fights.
"I think Mir laid it out perfectly," White says. "He really did."
Although Nelson is two years older and has more professional fights on his record, Mir has much more experience in UFC. No active fighter has been with the brand longer than Mir, who had his first UFC fight in November 2001. Nelson joined the promotion in 2009 after winning Season 10 of The Ultimate Fighter.
"Just to put a UFC champion on my belt, it's one of those roadblocks that I need to get to where I can actually have the UFC belt," Nelson says. "Frank is a legend of the UFC heavyweight division. … For me to be able to say that I beat a legend and a two-time heavyweight champ, I'm all for that."
Like Mir, Nelson has no need to hate his opponent to fight him effectively.
"This is just a sport," Nelson says. "That's one thing that a lot of people aren't grasping."
Mir and Nelson appear to be a competitive match-up as the No. 8 and No. 12 heavyweights in the USA TODAY/SB Nation consensus rankings. But the main event of Jackson and Hamill, the No. 4 and No. 17 light heavyweights, looks like a mismatch on paper.
Jackson has beaten several notable names in Pride Fighting Championships and UFC over the past 10 years. His opponent's only win over a ranked fighter came in December 2009 when Jon "Bones" Jones was disqualified in the first round for illegal elbow strikes after manhandling and pummeling Hamill for four minutes. Online sportsbooks such as Bodog.net list Jackson as nearly a 3-to-1 favorite.
"I really enjoy being the underdog most of the time, but I just take fights as they come," Jackson says. "If Matt's the underdog this time, he can have underdog status. I give it to him."
A victory for Jackson could earn him a shot at 205-pound champion Jon "Bones" Jones. Jackson was offered a title fight with then-champion Mauricio "Shogun" Rua earlier this year, but turned it down because he only had six weeks to prepare for the March 19 bout; Jones took the fight after Jackson rejected it and won the belt from Rua.
The leading choices to face Jones are Jackson and Lyoto "The Dragon" Machida, White told a group of reporters on Wednesday. But Jackson probably has the edge over Machida, whom he defeated in November.
"I think that if 'Rampage wins,' you've got to be more interested in the 'Rampage' fight because 'Rampage' deserves it," White said, according to MMAjunkie.com. "He's at the top."
UFC 130's main card includes the return of No. 8 middleweight Jorge Santiago, who hasn't fought for the organization since 2006. Since then, he climbed into the consensus top-10 by winning 11 of 12 fights and capturing a title for Japan-based Sengoku Raiden Championships. Santiago faces No. 14 Brian Stann, who's 2-0 since dropping to the 185-pound division last year.
Join us Saturday at mma.usatoday.com for live streaming video of UFC 130's first three preliminary card fights, starting at 6:45 p.m. ET, as well as play-by-play coverage of the pay-per-view main card at 9 p.m. ET.

Duma is the title character in the 1989 movie Cheetah. She was an orphaned baby cheetah that was adopted by the two main human characters, Ted and Susan. She is later captured and forced to run against greyhounds in a dog race.
Because she was brought up like a pet, Duma has no idea how to be a real wild cheetah.
Role in the film
An abandoned baby Duma is found by two American teenagers, Ted and Susan and their native friend, Morogo. Morogo informs Ted that her mother is dead and that she was skinned by a poacher. When Susan learns of this, she immediately wants to adopt her. Although the others think that's crazy, she thinks it's the only way for her to survive.
- "Duma" means "cheetah" in Swahili.
- She is unrelated to the Warner Bros. adventure movie Duma, which also involves a cheetah. This version is set in Kenya, while the other is set in South Africa.

TOKYO (Reuter) - Hundreds of angry Japanese workers clashed with police in Osaka yesterday after the local government suspended an emergency aid programme. The crowd set fire to several cars and scores of motorcycles and bicycles, a police spokesman said. No one was injured but at least three rioters have been arrested, he added.
Police feared the protests could grow out of control in the slum area of Nishinari Airin, home to 20,000 labourers and an estimated 45 gangster groups, the yakuza, that recruit workers for manual jobs on a daily basis.
'The violence could escalate further because more and more workers are joining the protests,' the spokesman said.

China has pledged for the first time to take firm action to tackle climate change, telling a UN summit it will to curb emissions by 2020.
Vice-Premier Zhang Gaoli said China's carbon emissions - the world's highest - would soon peak.
US President Barack Obama said climate change was moving faster than efforts to address it, and the US and China had a responsibility to lead other nations.
The summit was the largest high-level climate meeting since 2009.
Hosted by UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon, it aimed to encourage 120 member states to sign up to a comprehensive new global climate agreement at talks in Paris next year.
As he closed the summit, Mr Ban hailed the meeting, saying "never before have so many leaders gathered to commit to action on climate change".
The UN has previously warned that the impacts of global warming are likely to be "severe, pervasive and irreversible", leading to problems such as sea level rises, greater flood risks and changes to crop yields.
Mr Zhang told the summit China would aim to cap emissions or have them peak "as early as possible".
"As a responsible major country, a major developing country, China will make even greater effort to address climate change and take on international responsibilities that are commensurate with our national conditions and actual capabilities," Mr Zhang said.
"All countries need to follow the path of green and low carbon development that suits their national conditions, [and] set forth post-2020 actions in light of actual circumstances."
Correspondents say this is the first time China has said it is willing to take firm action to cut carbon emissions.
However, Chinese President Xi Jinping was not at the summit, held before the formal start of the UN General Assembly session.

Former transport minister Stephen Ladyman said Gordon Brown would be "tempted" by a run of good poll results.
At the weekend, a YouGov poll gave Mr Brown a 10-point lead over the Tories, the biggest advantage since before the Iraq War.
The Sunday Times-commissioned survey put the governing party up two at 42 per cent while the Opposition slumped one to 32 per cent amid murmurings over David Cameron's leadership.
The Prime Minister's extended honeymoon also resulted in another healthy lead in an ICM poll for the Sunday Mirror, which put Labour on 39 per cent to the Conservatives' 33 per cent.
Speaking on BBC Radio 4's The World at One, Mr Ladyman said the Prime Minister would want to make sure they could hold marginal constituencies outside the Labour heartlands.
Mr Ladyman said: "He and I have had several conversations about this, in particular he is very concerned about marginal seats in south-east England because he wants his Government to represent the whole country, north, south, east and west.
"So when he does hold an election its important to win all the marginal seats in the south-east, where we have more marginal Labour seats than any other part of the country."
Mr Ladyman, who defends a tiny 664 majority in South Thanet, said Mr Brown will only go to the country if he thinks seats like his can be won.
He said the opinion poll findings were "bound to tempt" the Prime Minister to hold an early election. Mr Ladyman said: "I think it will depend on a number of factors.
"The first is whether he has got the finance to run a general election this autumn, certainly I think he will have it in place by next spring but there is a question over whether we will have it by the autumn.
"Secondly, how the Conservatives react. The initial signs are that they are going to do what they have done so many times over the past 10 years and that's implode and start fighting each other.
"If they do that then the Labour position in the polls will strengthen and this autumn will become more and more likely."
He continued: "I think that things are looking very hopeful at the moment. I would still not think that it's a favourite option this autumn, I would think next spring or even the following spring were more likely still.
"But it depends on events and it depends on the reaction of other political parties.
"But I certainly think these opinion polls are making it more and more likely that this autumn is coming into the frame."
Speculation about the possibility of an early election has mounted in recent weeks, fuelled by the appointment of businessman Jon Mendelsohn to raise funds for the campaign.
Mr Brown was today working from his constituency office in Scotland, having cut short his holiday in Dorset to deal with the foot-and-mouth crisis.
Downing Street sources would not be drawn on whether he plans to resume his summer vacation with his family.
Former Labour general secretary Baroness Margaret McDonagh said an early election would give Mr Brown a mandate to govern.
She told The World At One: "I think that's absolutely the case, but I think he will want to do it when there's a big political issue to be determined."
Baroness McDonagh added: "I think if this keeps getting hyped-up the country might get to a point where they say 'actually, we want this decided, we want it to be over, we want to move on'."
She added: "Sometimes these things do become self-fulfilling prophecies."
