Drug developed in Cambridge approved for treatment of multiple sclerosis
Press release
Approval concludes nearly 40-year epic journey from fundamental research to discovery of an effective treatment for active relapsing multiple sclerosis.
A transformational new treatment for multiple sclerosis (MS) - the result of over three decades of research in Cambridge - was approved today by the EU agency responsible for regulating new drugs.
The European Medicines Agency (EMA) has approved the drug Alemtuzumab, to be known by the brand name Lemtrada and previously called Campath-1H (for 'Cambridge Pathology 1st Human'), for the treatment of MS.
In recognition of the highly effective new treatment, the
University of Cambridge
has produced a video which explores the history of the drug, showing the many challenges as well as successes experienced during the course of this development.
In 1975 scientists Cesar Milstein and George Kohler working at the MRC Laboratory of Molecular Biology (LMB) in Cambridge invented the technology for making large quantities of an antibody targeted at one specificity, so-called monoclonal antibodies (work for which they were awarded the Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine in 1984). Building on this research, Herman Waldmann, Geoff Hale and Mike Clark from the University of Cambridge, with Greg Winter and Lutz Riechmann in LMB, produced the first monoclonal antibody for potential use as a medicine, Campath-1H (now known as Alemtuzumab), adopting the technique of 'humanising' these antibodies in order to minimise risk of the drug being rejected by patients.
Campath-1H was subsequently licensed for the treatment of chronic lymphocytic leukaemia. However, in the 1980s Cambridge clinical scientists also began to explore its use in autoimmune diseases, which occur when the body's immune system mistakenly attacks healthy tissue.
In 1991, Alastair Compston (Professor of Neurology and Head of the Department of Clinical Neurosciences) began to explore the use of Alemtuzumab as a treatment for the autoimmune disease MS. He and Dr Alasdair Coles, also from the University, led the subsequent research to develop Alemtuzumab in partnership with Genzyme, a Sanofi company, which now owns rights to the drug.
Commenting on today's decision by the EMA, Professor Compston said: "This announcement marks the culmination of more than 20 years work, with many ups and downs in pursuing the idea that Campath-1H might help people with multiple sclerosis along the way. We have learned much about the disease and, through the courage of patients who agreed to participate in this research, now have a highly effective and durable treatment for people with active MS if treated early in the course."
Multiple sclerosis is an autoimmune disease in which the body's immune system mistakenly attacks nerve fibres and their protective insulation, the myelin sheath, in the brain and spinal cord. The resulting damage prevents the nerves from 'firing' properly and ultimately leads to their destruction, resulting in physical and cognitive disabilities.
Alemtuzumab reboots the immune system by first depleting a key class of immune cells, called lymphocytes. The system then repopulates, leading to a modified immune response that no longer regards myelin and nerves as foreign. But in so doing, roughly one third of MS patients develop another autoimmune disease after Alemtuzumab, mainly targeting the thyroid gland and more rarely other tissues especially blood platelets.
Dr Coles' research team is investigating how to identify people who are susceptible to this side-effect. Furthermore, they are testing whether this side-effect can be prevented, using an additional drug which boosts repopulation of the immune system, in a trial funded by the Moulton Charitable Trust and the Medical Research Council.
Dr Coles, from the Department of Clinical Neurosciences, said: "Alemtuzumab offers people with early multiple sclerosis the likelihood of many years free from worsening disability, at the cost of infrequent treatment courses and regular monitoring for treatable side-effects."
"We are very pleased and proud of this outcome," said Professor Herman Waldmann, who moved to Oxford University with his team in 1994 to work on the manufacture of Campath-1H, to understand its mode of action, and to apply the drug in a number of disease areas. "In particular, we have great admiration for the neurology team in Cambridge with whom we have worked on this project for so many years. Their commitment and focus has been exemplary, and this has been a good example of basic and clinical science collaboration at its best."
Multiple sclerosis affects almost 100,000 people in the UK, 400,000 in the US and several million worldwide. Symptoms of the disease can include loss of physical skills, sensation, vision, bladder control, and intellectual abilities.
Although approved for use in EU, the drug has not yet been assessed by the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) for the treatment of MS.

Recipes Using Liquid Smoke
We are preparing a inside pulled pork recipe and a brisket recipe. As these two dishes are awesome for liquid smoke.
To keep you at bay, here are general guidelines to add to your arsenal of cooking knowledge. Our recommendations are based on many trials …just ask Ed! Here's what we suggest.
For sauces, dips, soups etc…
For foods that already have liquid in it that you will consume entirely, you just need to add about 4-6 drops per 8oz. So, if you have a bowl of chili…add about 4-6 drops to the bowl. If you have a bowl of Spinach dip…add about 4-6 drops. If you're eating a bowl of French Onion soup…add about 4-6 drops of liquid smoke. Just make sure to thoroughly mix to ensure the liquid smoke is evenly dispersed.
What we do know is that a little liquid smoke goes a long way. It's easy to use too much because one drop doesn't seem like a lot. Though I challenge you…to put one drop of concentrated habanero pepper extract on your tongue. I am hoping you get my point. Use liquid smoke sparingly otherwise too much will make your food taste bitter.
For Marinades…
Because it's a marinade and not all of the marinade is consumed, and the marinade is used to impart flavor to the meat through absorption, we suggest going a bit stronger to 12-15 drops per 8oz of marinade. As above…just make sure you evenly and thoroughly mix the liquid smoke into the marinade.
For adding liquid smoke directly to meats…
We do suggest that you use a spray bottle and with a Water/Liquid smoke solution. Spray the liquid smoke on to the meat while you are cooking or just after you have cooked the meat. The optimal water solution to liquid smoke ratio is 12-15 drops of liquid smoke per 8oz of water. What kid of spray bottle…well…I boosted my kids candy spray pump thingy. There are these spray pump candy things that you spray on your tongue. The bottle is just a bit bigger than a ChapStick. I just dump that junk out and washed it and now use the spray bottle for Liquid Smoke (WHOOP!)
If any one has a good Jerky recipes using Liquid Smoke…please send to us. We'd be delighted to post it. We haven't perfected the use of liquid smoke on jerky.

Bored - Bring On The Lost Book Club
I don't do bored well. Especially when it's injury-inflicted boredom.
Last night I wished for the chicken pox or the respiratory flu - something to completely wipe out the restlessness. (This is where you say keep your chin up girlfriend! You'll be on the mend soon! You'll be able to recreate with the rest - just be faithful! Or at least this is where I say that and pretend you are.)
Spouse and Yahoo #1 went skiing today. Yahoo #2 and I are still in our PJs watching Handy Manny. I'm wishing for the cartoon giants of my childhood and the Yahoo is staring at the tube with one hand tucked in his trousers. Why do the dudes do that?
First I ventured over to Megan's blog aka Remarks From Sparks, to see if she had posted anything new. I like Megan. She holds a special place in my heart. Haven't met her, but hope to someday - should the planets cooperate.
There was nothing new at the Casa de Sparks so I decided to read her comments. Using my special-force detective work, I learned that Megan's Mother reads her blog AND make comments. My mom doesn't read my blog.
Boredom turned to jealously.
Somebody smart once told me that jealousy was the mind's way of motivating. It means you want something. Figure out what that is and do something about it.
So what do I want right now? [Long thoughtful pause interrupted by Mini Mouse singing Hot Dog Hot Dog Hot Diggity Dog]
I think I want to read. I'll finish the last ten pages of Confessions Of An Ugly Stepsister. Then what? For the first time in about a year I'm not particularly anxious about what to read next.
Then it occurred to me. That goofy show Lost? They have a book club! Many episodes mention a book title or show someone reading a classic. If they throw a book around in any given episode, there's a reason. I will find that reason!

It took the writers until season 3 to get to Ayn Rand? I assume you have already read this one-- you might like the Gary Cooper movie. Season two has a lot of duds but if you like Dostoyevsky try "The Possessed" or my favorite "Notes Underground".
FYI-- I am reading two books that you may like: From zero to infinity. What makes numbers interesting by Constance Reid and One to Nine by Andrew Hodges.

I'm with Tom. The Fountainhead is my second favorite book. My favorite is Atlas Shrugged, and considering it's plot and themes and thinking of Lost, I'm not quite sure how they left that one out.
You flatter me.
And how cool is this: not only does my mom read all our blogs (Whit blogs, I do, Cat blogs, Mal does, and Haley posts about once every three months) AND has her own that she posts on five days a week. Like Rookie and myself. Ain't bloggin' great?
Love to read. Should join your little book club.

SHONA Foster will be thinking of her father as she enters Crufts this year.
Mother-of-two Shona, 29, of McCluskeys Street, Colchester, used to compete at Crufts with her dad, Terry Pagani.
However, she stopped eight years ago after he died from cancer on New Year's Eve.
She said: "I lost touch with the dog world, but a year ago I decided to get back into it. It is emotional. It is for my dad.
"He brought me in to it. It is something we shared. It is something lovely to remember him by."
Shona hopes her 16-month old miniature pincher, Fury, will win the hearts of the judges.
She said: "It is quite a hard world to get into. When I started, I wanted it to be a bit of fun. But nowFury has done so well, the pressure is on.
"I'm impressed by him, especially because he's such a spoilt pooch at home. He is like a robot in the ring."

Jekyll Officials Propose Big Change
Jekyll Island authorities say they don't need legislative approval to enact a big change in the state-run park. Officials want to limit how many acres developers can build on there. Right now, state law says 65% of land on the island must remain natural.

Lawmakers Could Set Jekyll Limit
Jekyll Island officials are looking into ways of ending a land use fight. The island's governing body says it'll ask state lawmakers next year to set a limit on the number of acres that can be developed. David Egan of the Initiative to Protect Jekyll Island says a 1971 state law requires 65% of the island to remain natural.

Classic galactosemia type I is a metabolic disorder. It causes a low level or lack of an enzyme called galactose-1-phosphate uridyltransferase. This enzyme changes galactose to glucose. Galactose is a simple sugar found in milk products. Glucose is the usable form of sugar in the human body.
Since there is not enough of the enzyme, galactose builds up in the blood. This build up can cause severe damage to the liver, kidneys, central nervous system, and other body systems. If undetected, galactosemia is fatal.
Type II is a less severe form of this disease due to low levels of galactose kinase. This type may be managed with a few dietary restrictions. It does not carry the risk of neurologic or liver damage.
Type III is a form with variable severity due to low levels of galactose epimerase. This type can cause cataracts, delayed growth and development, intellectual disability, liver disease, and kidney problems.
This sheet will focus on classic galactosemia.
Galactosemia is a genetic condition. It is caused by faulty genes that are inherited from both parents. A normal copy of these genes is needed to make the enzyme correctly.
An infant with classic galactosemia usually appears normal at birth. Symptoms usually occur within the first few days or weeks of life after the baby drinks breastmilk or a lactose-containing formula.
Early symptoms may include:
If left untreated, later symptoms and complications may include:
If dietary restrictions are started right away, it may be possible to prevent acute toxicity. However, long-term complications may still occur. These may include:
Most infants in the US are screened for galactosemia at birth. A small sample of blood is taken with a heel prick. It is also possible to diagnose galactosemia during pregnancy with an amniocentesis. This test is only done if the baby is at high risk for an illness or condition.
Your doctor may also suspect galactosemia after a urine test. The diagnosis can be confirmed with a blood test, including enzyme levels, or with a biopsy of the liver or other tissues.
Galactosemia cannot be cured. Steps can be taken to prevent or minimize symptoms and complications.
Infants can be fed with a soy formula. For further guidance a dietitian with a specialty in galactosemia can help you make a dietary plan.
Avoid all products that contain or produce galactose. This includes milk or milk by-products, such as:
Galactose can also be found in some non-milk products, such as:
Lactose or galactose may be used as an additive in some food products. Therefore, always read food labels carefully in order to avoid these foods.
Certain medications have galactose or lactose fillers. Check with your pharmacist before using medications.

The signature of Korean President
But the protracted wait for the President to sign off on the deal – which would result in state-owned Korea Gas buying a stake in Santos's Gladstone LNG project in Queensland and committing to buying gas from the project – is continuing to feed concerns over Korea's intentions.
Kogas was closing in on a deal over GLNG almost six months ago before it was spooked by the announcement of the federal government's since-diluted resources tax. More recently, Kogas said it was aiming to complete the deal by mid-September, and then late September.
CLSA analyst Di Brookman said it was "quite possible" the delay could be designed by the Koreans to intensify pressure on Santos, which is aiming to approve the $16 billion GLNG project for development by the end of the year.
Kogas and Santos are believed to have broadly agreed on the key terms of the deal, meaning any renegotiation of the terms is unlikely.
Ms Brookman said that while Kogas obviously had the intent to complete the deal, the Korean government, not Kogas, had the ultimate power to finalise the agreement. "If they did get Kogas, [GLNG] would start to look like a nice little business," she said.
"But the last thing you want to do is to, out of desperation, drop your prices, as you then have to live with those prices for the next 20 years."
One option for Santos if the Korean government approval remains outstanding, Ms Brookman said, would be to announce the Kogas deal as a non-binding heads of agreement. That would help the company in meeting its final investment decision timetable.
"But to do that means they cut out all the other [potential customers] because if you announce a heads of agreement with one party it does tend to suggest that's the party you're going with."
Kogas is expected to buy about a 10 per cent stake in GLNG for about $430 million, if it is struck at similar terms to the recent purchase of a 20 per cent stake in GLNG by French giant Total. More importantly, an offtake agreement would be likely to account for almost all production from the first two LNG trains or processing lines at GLNG.
Citigroup analyst Mark Greenwood said he was unsure why the Korean government was taking so long to finalise the deal. "These things are a long, long time in the making, particularly where there's equity involved," he said. "Once they get as far as they have, the objective is to get the thing done."
On top of the Kogas wait, Santos is also waiting for new federal Environment Minister
Mr Greenwood said the environmental approval, the Kogas deal and the equity raising were all worrying the market. "We're pretty confident they're going to get environmental approval on or before October 22 without particularly onerous conditions; we're optimistic they can get the Kogas deal over the line because I think it's 99 per cent of the way there. On the equity raising we've said for a long time it's going to be pretty chunky, around $2 billion-plus."

* C$ at C$1.0506 vs US$, or 95.18 U.S. cents * Economists expect 20,000 jobs created in Canada in Aug. * Bond prices lower across maturity curve By Leah Schnurr TORONTO, Sept 5 (Reuters) - The Canadian dollar weakened modestly against its U.S. counterpart on Thursday as a wait-and-see stance from investors kept the currency trading in a range a day before the release of closely watched employment reports on both sides of the border. The U.S. dollar was also stronger against other currencies and rose to a seven-week peak against the euro, helped by Thursday's strong economic data and after the head of the European Central Bank said its Governing Council expects ECB interest rates to remain at the current or lower levels for an extended period. Economic data in the United States has taken on a particular significance of late as investors try to gauge when the recovery will be considered strong enough for the Federal Reserve to start trimming its economic stimulus program. Should Friday's U.S. non farm payrolls report show a sustained recovery in the job market, it will likely reinforce expectations the Fed will begin trimming its bond-buying program when it meets in mid-September. Analysts are looking for a gain of 180,000 jobs in August. "Some of the key economic indicators are pointing to a more sustained recovery and a more positive economic outlook for the U.S.," said Gareth Sylvester, director at Klarity FX in San Francisco. "The majority of the market is certainly on the verge of saying: 'Yes, it's likely they will taper in September.'" The Canadian dollar ended the session at C$1.0506 versus the U.S. dollar, or 95.18 U.S. cents, weaker than Wednesday's finish at C$1.0492, or 95.31 U.S. cents. "We see some substantial moves in other currencies compared to the big dollar ... And yet Canada has been pretty much anchored to current levels," said Brad Schruder, director of foreign exchange at BMO Capital Markets. "I think that's a reflection of North American payrolls tomorrow and folks choosing to err on the side of caution." Schruder noted the recent string of disappointing Canadian data, but said there were factors that could result in a positive surprise for Canadian employment data. In Canada, economists expect that 20,000 new jobs were created in August, rebounding somewhat from a sharp drop of 39,400 in July. Prices for Canadian government debt were lower, with the two-year bond off 12-1/2 Canadian cents to yield 1.304 percent and the benchmark 10-year bond down 74 Canadian cents to yield 2.811 percent.

AIDS Healthcare Foundation President Michael Weinstein said this was a massive victory for safer sex
Voters have decided gay porn stars must wear condoms in Los Angeles, it was announced today (7 November).
In perhaps one of the least publicized voters of the US elections, 55.9% of LA County people approved the law.
Speaking to the LA Times, AIDS Healthcare Foundation President Michael Weinstein said this was a major referendum on the subject of safer sex.
'We have shown our resolve that we are not going to give up on this issue,' Weinstein told the LA Times. 'Now that the people have spoken so overwhelmingly, it is the responsibility for the Board of Supervisors and the county Health Department to act immediately to enforce this law.'
Under the measure, porn producers would have to purchase a public health permit like tattoo parlors.
It was opposed by a coalition of porn industry producers, who have said the law would force them out of Los Angeles and cost the region jobs.
Opponents to the law said the pornography industry should be trusted to police itself, and said performers are regularly tested for disease. On average, gay performers are tested once per week.
They also said consumers do not want to buy pornography in which condoms are used.
In a video, porn stars Tera Patrick and Ron Jeremy said: 'A mandatory condom law will not make our workplace any safer, but it will drive our $20 billion industry and 10,000 jobs out of LA county.'
Violators of the condom law, known as Measure B, will be fined and charged with a criminal offence.

The Queensland government will borrow less than half of the state's $42 billion infrastructure program over the next four years as it attempts to repair the state's finances and win back a AAA credit rating.
In a bid to kickstart the flagging resource sector, Treasurer Tim Nicholls will also announce plans in today's budget to scrap the former Labor government's transfer duty on prospecting and exploration permits.
It comes as the Newman government announced it would scrap the $7000 first-home owners grant and replace it with a $15,000 payment for those buying newly constructed properties.
Developers applauded the move, which they claim will help kick-start the property industry, but real estate agents said it disadvantaged those buying existing homes or apartments.
Treasurer Tim Nicholls, who will hand down the first conservative government budget in 15 years, said the budget will chart the state's economic recovery and outline less borrowing than forecast by the former Labor government. "This is going to be the most important budget in a generation," Mr Nicholls said.
The Newman government has consistently criticised the former government for borrowing to fund its infrastructure program. They lost the AAA credit rating in 2009.
Mr Nicholls confirmed the budget would show total net borrowings over the next four years would be $20.3 billion – which is less than half of the total of $42 billion to be spent on capital works projects up to 2015-16.
Mr Newman admitted total government borrowing would increase in 2012-13.
"The debt of Queensland will go up this financial year because of the path we've already been committed to by [former premier] Anna Bligh and [former treasurer] Andrew Fraser," he said. "However, the Treasurer is turning it around."
Mr Nicholls said the decision to scrap the proposed transfer duty on "farm-in" exploration arrangements would assist smaller miners.
"This exemption will make Queensland a more attractive exploration destination, bringing the state in line with Western Australia," he said.
"We will consult industry about the scope of the exemption to ensure we are helping this vital pillar of Queensland's economy to grow."
The budget is also expected to outline where the 14,000 cuts to the public service will come from.

It is so nice to have such fun and dedicated student workers who are willing to work over their breaks from school. I know they could be spending their breaks elsewhere, but they choose to spend them with us. We would be lost without them!

Whitening toothpastes and strips
These use peroxide to break up stains (look for products that have the American Dental Association Seal of Acceptance) in two to four weeks.

Whitening trays
Over-the-counter versions ($45 to $75 for a two-week supply) lighten teeth only a shade or two; home-whitening trays custom-fit by your dentist ($300 to $800) give more dramatic results.
You can also get whitening done in-office for $500 to $1,000; it's no better than using custom trays, but takes under two hours.

These cover or "cap" a cracked, worn-down, or otherwise damaged tooth. Cost: $1,000 to $1,600. Like these other treatments, they may not be covered by dental insurance.

This procedure affixes either porcelain or a type of plastic called composite resin to a chipped tooth, filling it back out. Cost: about $1,000 per tooth.

These thin shells ($1,200 to $2,000 each) cover the front of teeth, masking stains, chips, or slight crookedness.

If you're missing a tooth, titanium implants can be placed right in the tooth's pocket.

In a statement to the Australian Securities Exchange, BHP chairman Don Argus welcomed former Schroders Australia investment banker
"Malcolm has extensive experience in running industrial and mining companies with a global footprint and his experience in the sector will make a very attractive addition to our board. He has broad global experience in project development in many of the countries in which we operate," Mr Argus said in the statement.
"Carolyn has experience across a range of diversified industries with deep experience as a non-executive director. In particular, she has 25 years experience in the financial sector with extensive financial markets, risk management and investment management expertise."
Ms Hewson has formerly served as a non-executive director of AGL, AMP and CSR, and is currently a non-executive director of Westpac Banking Corp, BT Investment Management and Stockland.
Mr Broomhead has previously served as chief executive of Orica and North. He is also a non-executive director of Coates Group.
In the statement Mr Argus thanked Mr Anderson and Dr de Planque for their service. He said Mr Anderson had stepped down after accepting an invitation to become a director of BP plc, while Dr de Planque was retiring for medical reasons.
BHP chairman-elect Jac Nasser said the company would continue to review the mix of skills and competencies represented through its board.
"The group's established process of continually reviewing the mix of skills and competencies of directors will continue to ensure that the board is made up of members best able to promote shareholder interests and effectively govern the group."

Locality,pool Only local tv.
No internet connections in the rooms.
Friendly and helpful staff, nice swimming pool, beautiful views from poolside and terraces in bar and restaurant Breakfast buffet and restaurant dinner were adequate but uninspiring. It would be good if the bedroom satellite TV package included a news channel, preferably in English like BBC World or CNN
superb location ...excellent value for money perhaps pool could be cleaned more frequently
friendly staff, good value for money Why not a dutch tv channel on satellite tv? Many visitors are dutch. For example tunisian, polish, russian etc is available, but no dutch.
staff very obliging and efficeint
Quiet, balcony, generally happy with our stay sprinkler (of shower) was dirty (algae)
Relaxing place with pool and good breakfast. The staff was very nice and helpful. We would return to this hotel if going back to Sardinia.
The hotel is clean, well-staffed, with good facilities (the pool and restaurant were both good, breakfast satisfied). Lovely setting in the countryside outside of Tempio, with plenty to explore in the surrounding area. Especially for people with a car, this is a great location for chilling out/touring the local area. Given that the hotel is out of town, transport links between Tempio and the hotel might be better for guests without cars (like us). The lift given by the lady owner for us to get to town was really helpful, but of course that's not always possible for everyone! We weren't big fans of the pull up/down shutters on the window-door to the veranda (to avoid being in darkness we tried to open it but it fell down with a massive crash), and wonder if a more simple, easy to open shutter could be used instead. One of the serving staff in the bar/restaurant could have been a bit more relaxed and friendly.
Very nice diner.
an excellent hotel in a wonderful location - far from the madding crowds of the coast. Cuisine is good, especially the sardinian dishes. Thoroughly recommended if you want peace and quiet in stunning surroundings
The breakfast was good, there were some homecooked cakes, cereals, fresh fruit, milk, sweets, juice, coffee..... The staff was very very kind. The room was comfortable, with a great view over the mountains. There was no internet.
Pleasant hillside/forest surroundings a few km outside of Tempio Was not easy to find using Sat Nav as address given is not precise enough. Could mention that it is on the Limbara Road. Had to ask for directions at tourist information office in the centre of Tempio. A bit further out of town than I had anticipated.
The bed was excellent, the hotel was built in 2006 and is still brand new. The view from our room was spectacular and the place was dead quiet even in the middle of the high season because there was just no-one staying there (it is too out of the way I think) the prawns, €25 was too much and they were very ordinary tasting
Very good location in the mountains, if you're interested in hiking. You can actually start very nice hiking trips at the hotel entrance itself. 10 minutes driving from shops and the centre of Tempio Pausania. Very helpful staff. Big and comfortable room. No insect shields in our room, and since the ceilings are so high, there's no way you can keep your room insect free. However, that didn't bother us at all.
Very nice location, some amazing mountain landscape in the very near vicinity (mountain Limbara) and about an hour of driving away from the entire northern coast of the island. The staff of the hotel was very friendly and helpful, although understanding each other was a little bit tricky (not that big of an issue, it was rather fun). The rooms are very nice, clean and elegant and the view was amazing. The bottom line, it is highly recommended. It's not something related to the hotel itself. We had some issues regarding the car rental (from Hertz, which i highly NOT recommend, just stay away!!!) and we arrived two days later although we've paid for the entire period. Again, it's not a hotel issue, it's just how things came around...
The staff. Natur around. Big rooms. Verry boring place. Spend one night maximum. Nothing to do
nice location
hotel staff very helpful

I made a reggae-style poster and here's the reason why the file has been rejected:
"Unfortunately your file contains inappropriate amounts of explicit sexual, violent or drug-related content, which we do not accept under our strict GraphicRiver file guidelines. Please remove offensive material from future uploads before submitting them. Thank you for taking the time to submit content to GraphicRiver."
This just because i included a marijuana leave in the poster.
ok no problem for the reason of the rejection, but i don't understand then why this file of another user as been accepted: http://graphicriver.net/item/15-vector-marijuana-leave-design-elements/111476
lololol I think thats really funny, it must not be because of the weed leaf… post what you uploaded.
Turn the marijuana leave into a diffrent type of leave its as simple as that.
because you did not posted the poster we cannot say anything about your poster any try to give you any advice.
here's the flyer..
ok that marijuana it's a drug, but everybody know that is also a symbol of reggae music and culture, and also of the rastafari religion..
but the thing i really want to know it's why my flyer has been rejected and the vector marijuana leaves not
First I really like it!!! Reminds me of sean kingston. You should definitely contact envato support and ask them about this because there seems to be no problem with it, besides maybe the leaf, but ya contact support to ask.

A severe weather warning has been issued for parts of the South West, including Perth, with damaging winds expected late Tuesday morning.
Meanwhile heavy fog in Perth has made road conditions dangerous, but is expected to clear by 9am.
A Qantas spokeswoman said two flights were affected over night due to the fog and the airline saw "a couple of delays" Tuesday morning, but services had returned to normal by 8am.
A deep low pressure system is expected to hit the South West this morning before moving off the south coast later in the day, according to the Bureau of Meteorology.
The system could affect people in towns along a line from Jurien Bay to Mount Jackson to Kalgoorlie to Norseman, Katanning and then Albany.
This includes those living in or near Perth, Mandurah, York, Southern Cross, Bunbury, Busselton, Margaret River, Bridgetown and Albany.
It is expected to cause widespread damaging winds travelling up to 100km/h that could see damage to homes and property.
In isolated areas dangerous gusts in excess of 125km/h could cause significant damage, the bureau has warned.
Squally showers and thunderstorms are expected to develop later Tuesday morning.
The Department of Fire and Emergency Services advises that people should:
- Store or weigh down loose objects such as outdoor furniture.
- Have an emergency kit with a battery operated radio, torch, spare batteries and first aid kit.
- Ensure pets and animals are in a safe area.
- Move vehicles under cover.Boat owners should securely moor their boats.
- Campers should find shelter away from trees, power lines, storm water drains and streams.
If your home or property has significant damage, like a badly damaged roof or flooding, call the SES on 132 500.

If, as shown yesterday (at NewsBusters; at BizzyBlog), media reporters can't even get basic things like the fact that $1.74 x 3.5 doesn't equal anything close to $4 right, you would think that it's way too much to expect them to understand the difference between income and net worth.
You would be correct.
The coverage of last week's Social Security tax-increase proposal by Democrat Barack Obama included this representation by the candidate:
To extend the life of Social Security, Obama proposed applying a payroll tax to annual incomes above $250,000, affecting the wealthiest 3 percent of Americans. The Democrat also proposed eliminating income tax for any retiree making less than $50,000.
A targeted payroll tax such as the one the Illinois senator is proposing goes after the highest earners of salaries, wages, and self-employment income, who are often but nowhere near always among "the wealthiest 3 percent," at least some of whom receive all or almost all of their income from investments.
It's not surprising that Obama would make the obvious income/net worth error noted above, since, as I noted on Tuesday, he doesn't seem to even understand the difference between income and net worth. He told the same Columbus, Ohio audience that Warren Buffett had "income" of $56 billion, which is, of course, the Omaha investment legend's net worth. Buffett's total 2006 income of over $46 million is less than 1/1000th of his net worth, and the wage/salary component of his income is probably a small percentage of that $46 million. Oh well; focus groups probably don't mind going after someone's wealth as much as they would object to siphoning away that person's income.
It turns out that even the claim that "only" 3% are "affected" may also be a bogus.
I estimate, based on reviewing 2005 IRS data (Table 1.4, downloadable at this link) and 2006 Census Bureau information (Table AVG1, downloadable at this link), that the percentage of those "affected" (i.e., socked with a ginormous tax increase) is more correctly seen as about 2%.
There appear to be just about 3.0 million taxpayers who would be have to pay additional payroll taxes under Obama's proposal (some interpolation and inflation estimating was necessary to come up with this number). That 3 million would be:
- 3.3% of all taxable tax returns (90.6 million).
- 2.2% of all tax returns filed (134.4 million).
- 2.0% of all tax returns filed, plus an estimated 15 million (midpoint of the 10-20 million estimate here) legal nonfilers (149.4 million).
- 2.6% of all households, per the Census Bureau (114.4 million).
Which percentage should be used? I believe, unless you start adjusting for household or family size, that the 2.0% of all returns filed plus non-filers is the best approximation of all "Americans." I guess it all depends on what you mean by "affected" and "Americans." Maybe a reporter who reads this post might considering asking the candidate what he meant.
I have mixed feeling in bringing all of this up. The Obama campaign, once corrected, might decide that going after only 2% or so of Americans to further prop up everyone else instead of 3% isn't a bug, but is instead a feature.
Also open for discussion: What is a "retiree" for the purposes of Obama's $50,000 exemption from federal income tax? The answer is not as simple as you might think. Just for starters, are you a "retiree" if are 55, have officially retired from one company, and started work at another? If not, why not?

March 10, 1994
Hampton University football coach Joe Taylor on Wednesday announced coaching staff reassignments that will take effect immediately.

Cnu Shows Chowan No Mercy
By CANDY MCCRARY Daily Press
January 12, 1995
The score was 34-10. We're not talking about a final football score. We're talking about the halftime score of a college women's basketball game. The debacle came Sunday when Christopher Newport hosted Chowan at Ratcliffe Gym. CNU cruised to a 26-2 lead. When the halftime buzzer mercifully sounded, the Captains were still leading by 24 points. Chowan went at least 13 minutes without a field goal and suffered through thefirst period with 12 percent field-goal shooting. They were 3-of-25 from the floor in the first half.

Daily Press
August 3, 2014
The Peninsula Pilots' team-record 40th victory came in dramatic fashion -- albeit after 1 a.m. and in extra innings. The Pilots rallied from an eight-run deficit to defeat the Petersburg Generals 10-9 at War Memorial Stadium on Fan Appreciation Night, Peninsula's regular-season finale. Old Dominion's PJ Higgins hit a walk-off RBI single in the 11th inning to end a game that took about six hours, including a rain delay of about an hour. The eight-team Petitt Cup playoffs begin Wednesday, when the Pilots will open their title defense with a road game against an opponent to be named.

January 5, 2000
Hampton University assistant head football coach John Wright hasn't had much time to celebrate his new position as Elizabeth City State's new head football coach. Elizabeth State announced Wright's hiring on Monday, but instead of heading down to his new job Tuesday he was still busy helping Hampton head coach Joe Taylor with recruiting. "It's hard to leave this program," Wright said. "I should be at my new job right now, but you see I'm still here." Wright, 51, just completed his eighth season at Hampton University, where in addition to his assistant head coaching duties, he served as offensive line coach and Special Team Coordinator.

Edwards Lifesciences
Irvine, CA
Inspiring passion is the one of the greatest ways to build a loyal and effective workforce. Edwards Lifesciences has created a successful work environment by infusing its mission to create quality medical devices into each employee. Even more important, the company has also created a family-type of environment.
President: Michael A. Mussallem
Number of Employees: 7000+
Key Products: Sapien transcatheter heart valve, pericardial heart valves, tissue valves, direct, and peripheral cannulae
Annual Revenues: $1.45 billion
Edwards invests heavily in its team, through experiences such as job rotations to help provide invaluable career experiences, generous benefits packages, wellness programs, flexible work-life balance programs, and philanthropic activities for employee involvement.
Christine McCauley is the vice president of human resources at Edwards Lifesciences. So she could be considered to be a bit of a cheerleader by the company. However, her story is very similar to many of the employees that walk the halls of this Irvine, CA institution.
McCauley is a mother. And Edwards is a mom-friendly workplace. It was named as such in 2008 by Parenting Orange County Magazine. So what exactly does mom-friendly mean? "It means flexibility," says McCauley. "If you get your job done, it doesn't matter if it's done at a soccer game or a ballet recital," McCauley says her boss told her when she first got her job.
Specifically, McCauley describes her joy at getting to attend reading groups when her son first started elementary school. "It was important to me, so I talked to my boss, told him that every Thursday I would not be in the office until 10 a.m. so that I could participate in the reading groups. It's given me a chance to form great relationships with my son's classmates and their parents."
"This is a relationship culture," says McCauley. Edwards says it is deeply committed to its employees, who are treated and respected as owners. She explains that many Edwards employees own stock in the company, which McCauley credits with the high level of pride they take in the products they produce. What makes Edwards employees special, says McCauley, is the level of passion and engagement. A survey conducted by an outside firm found that 92% of Edwards's people felt proud to work there. "That was unheard of, even to the survey company," she explains, saying that the best level of "pride" most companies hope for is a percentage in the low 80s.
McCauley notes with some humility, that Edwards was able to remain recession resistant, and in fact, saw growth over the last several years. "We're lucky in that if people need a heart valve, it's not like they can put it off as they might in buying a new car." But she also notes that other risks can make the company lose its reputation, which is why Edwards employees so clearly care about the quality of each product.

Fast rail in $200m blowout
Page Tools
Web links
The Victorian government has defended a $200 million blow-out to install a $750 million train-stopping safety system for four regional fast rail lines.
State Transport Minister Peter Batchelor said the Ballarat, Bendigo, Geelong and Latrobe Valley lines would have better safety systems, which were expected to be fitted by mid 2006.
"In the wake of the recent Tilt Train crash in Queensland and the Waterfall crash in NSW, fitting a comprehensive train safety system to Victoria's main regional lines is the right thing to do," Mr Batchelor said.
"With the Regional Fast Rail lines operating at speeds of up to 160 kph on the Ballarat, Bendigo, Geelong and Latrobe Valley lines, it's important to have a higher level of safety via a proven system.
"We're getting a safer rail system and it's worth the money."
Mr Batchelor said track construction on the four lines would be completed from mid to late 2005, with signalling works finalised in late 2005.
The Train Protection Warning System, to be used on Victoria's fast-rail lines, is used in Great Britain.
The system will be linked to signals fitted to railway tracks and trains.
Victorian public transport safety regulator Dr Graham Edkins said the system had an automatic stopping system if a train was at risk of collision or approaching a junction at high speed.
Opposition transport spokesman Terry Mulder said Mr Batchelor promised Victorians the project would cost $80 million before the 1999 election.
Mr Mulder said the figure jumped to $550 million when the contract was signed in June 2002.
"This is all due to poor planning and poor design from the government," Mr Mulder said.
"Mr Batchelor has the potential to put the state on its knees. We are not getting value out of them (the government)."
Mr Mulder said he feared for the economy's future after a total cost blowout of $400 million for the fast-rail project and the revamp at Spencer St railway station.
"The project will cost $1 billion by the time it's completed," Mr Mulder said.
"They haven't included the cost of safety fences along the fast-rail lines."

Woody Allen unveils his new film, Midnight in Paris, on the opening night of the Cannes Film Festival on May 11. It won't be the first time the idiosyncratic New Yorker has attended the festival, but the film is likely to create more fuss than any of his previous movies. Even Scarlett Johansson's steamy kiss with Penelope Cruz in 2008's Vicky Cristina Barcelona can't rival the attention
Bruni-Sarkozy, the singer and former model who married French President Nicolas Sarkozy in 2008, is the sister of well-known French actress and director Valeria Bruni Tedeschi. So a move into acting might be understandable.
For months the French media have been playing up her acting debut. Les guignols, the satirical puppets that bear the countenance of famous French folk, have been having a field day on night-time television, suggesting that Allen had mentioned how Bruni-Sarkozy should be in one of his movies one day – and she held him to it.
Allen says this is not the case.
"She was not my idea," he says. "My casting director suggested her and I thought it was such an inspired idea. I needed an attractive, intelligent, well-spoken French woman to play a character who works in a museum. I never thought she would do it and I asked her and she said yes. I had seen Carla playing the guitar. She is theatrical. I wasn't just taking a school teacher and putting her on stage; she has show business instincts.
"No matter how it was going to turn out, I wasn't going to fire her," he adds with a chuckle.
Whether Bruni-Sarkozy has the requisite acting skills to forge an acting career – Allen tends to think it's a one-off – she couldn't have chosen a more actress-friendly director. The most beautiful and most talented actresses clamour to work in his movies, even if he mostly pays them scale rates.
Given the ensemble nature of his films, they don't have to give up much time, and his films can be very helpful to their careers. Many come back for more, such as Johansson, who became something of a muse by appearing in three movies in quick succession.
After her best supporting actress Oscar for Vicky Cristina Barcelona, Cruz will return for Allen's upcoming Rome-based movie, The Wrong Picture.
Earlier, of course, he cast his lovers, Diane Keaton (eight movies, including the movie she inspired, Annie Hall) and Mia Farrow (13 films, including Hannah and Her Sisters), although he gave up on that idea after he became involved with Farrow's adopted 21-year-old daughter, Soon-Yi Previn, now his wife of 13 years.
About that time Allen's fortunes began to wane. In 1993, when nobody wanted to finance his films, his friend of 30 years, Jean Doumanian, came to the rescue as producer, fuelled with funds from wealthy boyfriend Jacqui Safra.
Yet after she pulled out of financing his biggest budget film ever, The Curse of the Jade Scorpion (with a budget of $US26 million, ultimately his biggest flop), Allen filed a 2001 lawsuit claiming she swindled him out of profits from eight movies. She counter-sued, claiming he cheated them out of $US19 million.
The two sides settled in 2002. Since then, Allen's sister, Letty Aronson, has produced his modestly budgeted movies. By relocating the action to London and Spain, Allen obtained greater European financing and, on a few occasions, as with Match Point and Vicky Cristina Barcelona, he returned to quality form.
With Midnight in Paris, which focuses on a young engaged couple who see their lives transformed in the French capital, he has attracted top Hollywood talent: box office stars Owen Wilson and Rachel McAdams, and three Oscar winners: Adrien Brody, Kathy Bates and France's own Marion Cotillard, who is forging a thriving Hollywood career.
And, of course, there's a certain first lady, whose presence alone might be worth the ticket price.
While Sarkozy himself is unlikely to attend Cannes – to openly squander public funds in such difficult times would be unseemly – in an unprecedented move, the world's press will not be privy to an earlier screening of the film. Journalists, hungry for the only big story on the first day, will only get to see the movie in the evening, at the same time as the official world premiere. There is bound to be an almighty scrum.
Allen will grant interviews, though not a lot. He has already given one to Michel Ciment, the top French critic of high-brow film magazine Positif, which has delayed releasing its May issue until after the Cannes premiere, in order to procure the interview.
In the beginning, Allen hardly ever spoke to the press. He had an in-built audience, close to half of which was in France, with most of the rest in Spain and Italy. He would travel to the French capital for the release of his films and mostly gave a press conference.
Now he throws himself into the fray. He needs to because the kinds of movies he makes have become an even more difficult sell since the global financial crisis. His 2010 film, You Will Meet A Tall Dark Stranger, may have featured Naomi Watts and a surprisingly raunchy Anthony Hopkins as her father – it's certainly not as bad as a lot of the dross out there – yet the film has yet to be released in Australia.
"In the film business they discovered a few years ago they don't care about small profits," Allen says. "There was a time when I first started when they'd make Easy Rider and Robert Altman's films and be happy to make a little profit. Now they only want these $US100 million pictures that make $US400 million.
"Why waste time giving me $US15 million for a small movie when the gamble isn't as good? A lot of filmmakers are having a hard time now."
Having made a film each year for 42 years, Allen has of late wisely kept himself out of his films. ("I am more of a cartoon character and have not been able to come up with anything that I can have a part in.") Nevertheless, his characters express his view of the world and, frequently, are the kind of people he despises. It is the job of an artist, he says, to ask questions, to throw things up for consideration.
Although raised by Jewish parents in Brooklyn, he has no specific religious beliefs himself.
"I have a scientific mind," he says, and envies people who do have beliefs.
"It is a gift to be able to lose yourself that way. I was born into a family that was fairly religious and all my friends were religious. I thought, 'How lucky they are, they believe it and don't question it.' To me it just seemed like the silliest thing in the world. They dress up and do the [Jewish] ritual."
Born Allen Königsberg to parents who never really got along – the tough-minded Nettie a bookkeeper at her family's deli, and Martin, a jewellery engraver and waiter – Allen hit the big time at the age of 19 when he started writing jokes for The Ed Sullivan Show, The Tonight Show and Sid Caesar. Soon he was earning $1500 a week, and since then he has never been poor.
From the day he started making movies in 1965, audiences assumed the neurotic, floundering, indecisive, intellectual persona he had developed for stand-up was him. There is no way he could really be like that, because movie making is all about making decisions and making them fast.
"I used to say I am not this person, I don't do this, I am not interested in this, but people don't want to hear that," he says.
"They humour me. They say, 'Yes, yes, we know.' My movies are completely made up.
"There have been movies over the years that I have written with other people, like Marshall Brickman, Doug McGrath, Nicky Rose. We make these things up in a room. Basically, if you write comedy you grab anything that will give you a few laughs."
When he started giving interviews, Allen was understandably reluctant to discuss the tumult of his personal life, as the protracted litigation over his children with Farrow – the adopted Dylan and Moshe, as well as his only biological offspring, Satchel – had taken its toll.
The first sign of his rising out of his malaise came in the documentary Wild Man Blues, which not only followed his 1996 European tour playing clarinet with his jazz band, but showed him with wife Previn very much by his side. She was shown to organise his personal existence and be even a little bossy, and it seems nothing much has changed. He will talk about it now, though.
"I always had problems finding the right woman," he says. "This is the third time I have been married. I first married when I was 20 years old and that was wrong. I married years later to a wonderful, wonderful woman [comedy actress Louise Lasser] whom I am still friendly with, but that was wrong.
"Here, I married a much younger woman who was the daughter of the woman I was seeing, and that was in the newspapers all over the world. That was a problem. But I have been lucky because I ended up in a happy relationship. Before, I made one mistake after another."
THIS PAR CAN GO.. When we met in Cannes last year Previn was out and about, burning up all that youthful energy. "My wife enjoys it in Cannes very much and she likes to bring the children who like it too," he says. "She goes to the beach, she went to see a movie and she took the children to St. Tropez. Myself, I sit in a hotel and keep telling people how great the movie is."
Most important now, says the sprightly 75-year-old, is health. But he says it's not his 37-year-old wife or their two adopted daughters who keep him young.
"It is complete luck," he says. "My father lived to one month over 100. My mother lived to almost 100 and they were lucid right until the final months. When my father was 88, people thought that he was 75. Now I am so frightened that I exercise every day, I eat the right foods and I do everything I can. But I feel that is 2 per cent of it, and 98 per cent is genetics."
Allen says the secret of his career longevity is routine. "I am a creature of habit – ask my wife about that! I like to do the same thing every day. Get up, do the treadmill, take the kids to school, do some work, practise my horn, and eat at the same restaurants. If you're going to be productive, it's important to keep regular hours and work habits."

Historical Perspectives
Unified Jerusalem a situation report (ISRAEL HAYOM OP-ED) Eli Hazan 05/20/12)
Source: http://www.israelhayom.com/site/newsletter_opinion.php?id=1916
Israel Hayom
Israel Hayom Articles-Index-Top
In the 45 years since Jerusalem´s reunification, it seems that the consensus about keeping it unified has been eroded, even though a majority of the public today still wants to strengthen the city´s unity. Only a few years ago, there was an absolute consensus about the unity of Jerusalem. Even leftists who supported a division of the land said the city must not be divided.
One of the more outstanding views on this matter belonged to Israel´s first prime minister, David Ben-Gurion. In an interview a short time before he passed away, Ben-Gurion said that even if true peace prevailed, "Jerusalem and the Golan should not be returned."
Those who carried on that view belonged to the central faction of the Labor party, which was led for many years by the late former Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin. Rabin was joined later by then Foreign Minister Shimon Peres and his deputy Yossi Beilin, who proclaimed that "Jerusalem will not be divided."
Since then, however, Beilin and others on the Left have come to the conclusion that the city must in fact be divided. Although this is a legitimate position and people may change their minds, we should recall several issues that testify to the fact that we have still not learned the lessons of the past.
Aside from the well-understood historical and religious significance of Jerusalem for the Jewish people, a unified Jerusalem is also a paramount security requirement. The Oslo Accords, the Gaza disengagement plan and the withdrawal from southern Lebanon proved that wherever the Israel Defense Forces pulled out, a terrorist network arose in its place and proceeded to attack Israel with lethal results. The same scenario may also occur if Jerusalem is divided, and in the Middle East such a reality is by no means science fiction.
The late former Prime Minister Menachem Begin said in 1948: "If the city remains divided, there will be no security in the city." Reality, until 1967, proved him absolutely correct. Those who lived in neighborhoods along the divided city´s internal border before 1967 suffered the fear of constant terrorist attacks and will not forget the intolerable situation. When those who support dividing the city again promise an agreement that will enable residents to live their lives in safety, they should remember that the reality was different when Israel withdrew from territory in the past. And Jerusalem cannot be the next litmus test.
As for the claim that Jerusalem is already a divided city, the claim is disproved by the fact that Jews, Muslims and Christians move back and forth across the old division lines each day and move about freely in all areas of the city. Unlike the situation today, when the city was divided both freedom of religion and of movement were blatantly restricted. Are we aiming to restore that situation? Of course not.
So when we celebrate the city´s reunification for the 45th time, let us remember the great privilege we have to live in this unified city, and to wish all of its residents prosperity.
