Starring Ryunosuke Kamiki, Hiroyuki Miyasako, Chiaki Kuriyama, Bunta Sugawara
Directed by Takashi Miike
Distributed by Media Blasters
Not to knock the genius of Takashi Miike, but lately it seems as though he's been channeling other famous directors. With Gozu it was David Lynch, with One Missed Call it was Hideo Nakata, and with Izo (!) it was Alejandro Jodorowsky. With the release of the big-budget children's film The Great Yokai War (a remake of the 1968 classic Yokai Monsters), Miike recalls Hayao Miyazaki, the fantasy mastermind behind Princess Mononoke and Spirited Away.
Many people seem shocked that the world's most dangerous filmmaker would be crafting children's fantasy, but this is really nothing new. Miike has been impossible to categorize, having covered more styles and genres than any other filmmaker in history, and this – his 66th (!!) film – is simply another notch on his belt. Don't let this be a deterrent: Yokai may be fun for all ages, but it still carries Miike's twisted stamp and packs enough unrelenting madness and unpredictability to surprise even the most jaded fan.
The film brings together various monsters through Japanese mythology as they unite against an evil warlord hellbent on turning the world's yokai into twisted robotic monstrosities. The only thing that can save them is a legendary hero known as the Kirin Rider. Unfortunately, only children can see the yokai, so 11-year-old Tadashi is recruited from his village to lead the charge. From there Yokai takes on the Alice in Wonderland syndrome as Tadashi stumbles through a series of bizarro set-pieces and is forced outwit several otherworldly foes.
It's the classic case of technology vs. imagination, industry vs. environment, and age vs. youth, which is pretty ironic considering the film itself is a mixture of new and old techniques. There's a heavy emphasis on CGI, but it's not distracting and works well with the prosethetic creatures. The monsters themselves (of which there are hundreds) are a strange eclectic bunch, and they feel right at home with Miike's "kitchen sink" approach. Long-necked ghosts, talking umbrellas and kid-chomping motorcycles are just a few of the oddities in the freak show, and half the fun is wondering what will stumble from the shadows next.
Humans are always the token characters, so it's refreshing to see engaging actors thrown into the mix as well. Ryuunosuke Kamiki is a very strong lead and completely convincing as Yokai's young hero (even when he's kicking ass with a broad-sword), while yakuza film icon Bunta Sugawara gets the most laughs as his crazed senile grandfather. But the best performance comes from the ever sexy Chiaki Kuriyama (Battle Royale, Kill Bill) as the sadistic white-haired villainess. Not only is she delightfully cruel, she manages to add a few extra layers to her role.
On the supplemental side of things there are two versions. Unfortunately we were only able to get our hands on a single disc edition which is pretty bare. A full review of the double disc edition will grace this site sometime in the near future.
Yet, for a children's fantasy film, The Great Yokai War lacks that child-like wonder that propels similar works to greatness. It's fairly hollow entertainment, strung together by twisted gags and hyperactive imagery, and while there isn't a dull moment to be found, there's a sense that Miike was striving to achieve something more. Nonetheless, the end product packs enough punch to please both children and Miike fans alike. That in itself is a great achievment.

Time Warner Cable, in its initial reporting period after fully separating from parent Time Warner Inc., trounced analysts' expectations for the first quarter, gaining 36,000 basic subscribers and staying ahead of consensus estimates in other key metrics.
Most analysts had expected the second-largest cable operator to lose basic video customers in the first quarter - consensus estimates were a loss of 77,000 subscribers. While that was behind the 55,000 basic additions in the first quarter last year and subscriber growth in digital, high-speed data and phone slowed in the most recent period, it well outpaced consensus estimates.
"That will be taken as an enormously encouraging, and reassuring, sign," wrote Sanford Bernstein cable and satellite analyst Craig Moffett in a research note, adding that the growth was especially noteworthy given the economic climate and growing fears of "cord cutters," or people who have severed the video relationship with their cable operator and watch programming for free online.
On a conference call with analysts, Time Warner cable chairman and CEO Glenn Britt said the basic-customer growth was mainly tied to the digital transition, which began in part on Feb. 17. Britt added that the company could see another bump in basic subscribers as the transition winds down in June.
Chief operating officer Landel Hobbs said that the digital transition accounted for about 80,000 subscriber additions in the quarter and could bring roughly that same amount in the second quarter. He added that while many of those customers took promotional lower priced basic video offering, one-third took additional services as well.
"There was some halo effect," Hobbs said of the digital transition.
Time Warner Cable added 121,000 digital video customers in the period -- ahead of estimates of 100,000 adds -- and 174,000 phone customers, down from last year's 290,000, but ahead of the 143,000 estimate. The company also added 225,000 high-speed data customers, down from the 304,000 in the same period last year but significantly ahead of consensus expectations of 147,000 additions.
In his report, Moffett said that TWC's show of strength in broadband additions should squelch fears of a telco rebound in market share. Both Verizon Communications and AT&T reported their best quarters ever in terms of video customer growth - Verizon gained 299,000 video subscribers in the first quarter and AT&T added 284,000 video subscribers.
Financial metrics were also strong - revenue increased 4.9% to $4.4 billion and cash flow rose 7.5% to $1.5 billion. Chief financial officer Robert Marcus said that the company is on track to meet its full year revenue and cash flow growth guidance.

The Automated Clearing House (ACH) is an electronic network for financial transactions in the United States that processes large volumes of credit and debit transactions in batches. ACH payment is a tool that electronically debits a customer's bank account instead of using paper checks.
ACH processing services from TransFirst® complement traditional payment card processing services and can help generate an increase in sales revenue for businesses. We provide both traditional and Internet-based businesses the opportunity to offer their customers an additional payment option, which may mean the difference between making and losing a sale.
Adding ACH payments to your business benefits you, the merchant, by opening up your payment acceptance options beyond credit and debit cards. ACH payments offer your non-payment card customers a hassle-free alternative that allows them to pay for their purchases directly out of their checking or savings accounts.
Think of an ACH transaction as an electronic payment directly from one bank account (the customer's) to another (yours). Initiating the process is easy once you're set up with the proper merchant account with TransFirst.
When you settle the batch at the end of your business day, simply submit an ACH file containing all the bank routing (ABA) and account numbers to be debited, along with the corresponding transaction amounts. These transactions can be quickly and securely processed online using Transaction Express®, TransFirst's electronic payment gateway.
Once the transaction is authorized, the system debits the customer's account and transfers the funds to your merchant account within seven days.
While ACH payments, like paper checks, take time to clear and may bounce, they can be a useful alternative for merchants who want to offer a comprehensive selection of payment options to their customers. To get started with ACH payments, fill out the form on this page and a TransFirst representative will respond directly to you.

(CNSNews.com) – The Islamic organization whose event was attended by President Obama's new envoy to the Muslim world six years ago has a history of radical stances, and at the time of the event it was urging members to support incarcerated Muslims including terror suspects and a convicted cop killer.
The event in Chicago over the Labor Day weekend of 2004 was a conference of the Muslim Students Association (MSA), an organization with several hundred affiliated chapters on campuses across the U.S. and Canada.
Rashad Hussain, a deputy associate counsel at the White House who has been appointed Obama's envoy to the Organization of the Islamic Conference (OIC), took part in a session on Sunday, September 5, entitled "Get up, Stand up, Stand up for your Rights: The State of Contemporary Civil Liberties." Hussain was a Yale law student at the time.
Controversy erupted this week over a news item in the Nov. 2004 edition of the Washington Report on Middle East Affairs (WRMEA), which quoted Hussain as saying during the MSA event that Sami al-Arian, a man then facing trial for supporting a Palestinian terrorist group, was being persecuted for political reasons.
The WRMEA later edited the story to remove the remarks, claiming a reporter had mixed up her quotes. The reporter denied having done so, and the WRMEA has been unable to provide a detailed explanation of the circumstances around its decision to alter the archived story more than four years after it was written – although it denies a cover-up.
White House officials have told media organizations that Hussain does not recall making the comments attributed to him in the original WRMEA story. They said he took part in the MSA event to dicuss civil liberty-related issues.
Concerns raised during the session, according to the WRMEA account, dealt with issues like FBI powers to question students under the PATRIOT Act.
But MSA views on civil liberties included considerably more controversial positions.
That same year, 2004, the MSA Web site carried an appeal for members to "send letters of support, encouragement and kind words to our Muslim political prisoners."
(The MSA article calling for support for the incarcerated men has been removed from the Web site, but an excerpt from the archived page is replicated here.)
The "political prisoners" listed included a man who gunned down a police officer, and others charged with terrorist-related offences. They are listed at the end of this report.
Some researchers consider the MSA's establishment in the early 1960s to have been a key moment in the introduction of Islamic radicalism in the U.S.
"Radical Islam made its first appearance in America in 1963 at the University of Illinois with the founding of the Muslim Student Association (MSA) by group of Muslim Brotherhood immigrant activists with money from the Saudi front organization Muslim World League," Hudson Institute visiting fellow Alex Alexiev wrote last November.
(As Cybercast News Service has reported, the MWL has a history of promoting shari'a and religious intolerance, and links to charities that are subject to U.S. government sanctions for clandestine funding of terror groups.)
Alexiev reported that other organizations, including the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA), spun off from the MSA over the following years, acting independently but never severing their ideological or organizational ties to the Muslim Brotherhood.
The Muslim Brotherhood (Ilhwan) is a veteran Sunni Islamist group formed in Egypt in the 1920s, and which later became active in Jordan, Saudi Arabia and other Arab nations.
It promotes the establishment of a caliphate and sometimes preaches non-violent resistance and a focus on dawa – Islamic outreach – but its association with terrorism run deep.
The Brotherhood was the organization that spawned Hamas in Gaza in 1987, and top terrorists with Brotherhood ties include 9/11 architect Khalid Sheik Mohammed, who joined the organization in Kuwait; al-Qaeda number two Ayman Zawahiri, a former top member of the Brotherhood in Egypt; and the jailed World Trade Center bombing plotter sheik Omar Abdel Rahman, also an Egyptian.
But the Brotherhood also has an expanding presence beyond the Islamic world.
Researchers at the Global Muslim Brotherhood Daily Report, the Investigative Project on Terrorism and elsewhere track the Brotherhood's global network, including prominent Islamic organizations in Europe and the U.S., like the MSA.
In a 2003 Front Page magazine article, Investigative Project analyst Erick Stakelbeck listed some of what he called the MSA's "more notable transgressions." Among them:
A 1995 rally in support of Hamas, sponsored by the MSA branch at UC Berkeley. "During the event, students carried a sign depicting an Israeli flag with a swastika through the middle and pledged to serve as future suicide bombers," Stakelbeck wrote.
At an Oct. 2000 anti-Israel rally in Los Angeles, MSA West president Sohail Shakr was quoted as telling protestors that true peace would require "the elimination of the Zionist entity in the middle of the Muslim world."
'Political prisoners'
The "political prisoners" MSA was urging its members to support in 2004 were:
-- Jamil al-Amin, a former Black Panther and convert to Islam also known as H. Rap Brown, sentenced in 2002 to life imprisonment for shooting dead Atlanta police officer Ricky Kinchen in 2000.
-- Abdurahman Al-Amoudi, a former MSA activist and the founder of the American Muslim Council, who pleaded guilty in July 2004 on charges relating in part to financial transactions with Libya. In October of that year he was sentenced to 23 years in prison.
-- Randall Ismail Royer, a former Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) civil rights coordinator. In April of that year he was sentenced to 20 years' imprisonment after pleading guilty to aiding four co-defendants – members of a Northern Virginia "jihad network" – to undergo training with Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT), a Pakistan-based group which the State Department designated a foreign terrorist organization in late 2001.
-- "Jihad network" member Masoud Khan, convicted of conspiracy to wage war against the United States and provide to support to the Taliban, and sentenced in 2005 to life imprisonment. He was accused ot traveling to Pakistan just days after 9/11 to train with LeT, and that he planned to fight alongside the Taliban in neighboring Afghanistan.
-- Fellow "jihad network" member Ibrahim Al-Hamdi, who was sentenced on the same day as Royer, to 15 years in prison. He admitted possessing a rifle and ammunition and carrying a rocket-propelled grenade, for the purpose of training "for violent jihad in Chechnya, Kashmir or other places outside of the United States," according to the Department of Justice.
-- Sami al-Arian, a Kuwait-born former University of South Florida professor who at the time was in custody, accused of being the North American leader of Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ), a violent group responsible for more than 100 deaths in Israel, including those of two American citizens. The State Department designated it a foreign terrorist organization as long ago as 1997. Acquitted on a number of counts, Arian was sentenced in 2006 to more than four years' imprisonment after pleading guilty to conspiring to aid the PIJ.
-- Sameeh Hamoudeh, a Palestinian arrested with al-Arian and charged with raising funds for the PIJ. He was acquitted in Dec. 2005 and deported to the West Bank five months later.

PART ONE (Beta Version)
Allentown, Pennsylvania. The Early 1980's.
It looked like any other aging arena in the northeast from the outside. A crude makeshift locker room inside played host to an even cruder makeshift office. A folding table and a few files were all. It wasn't much, but to the customers it was everything. One by one they approached the office, exchanging a few pleasantries before walking away with a paper bag. Inside was any prescription drug a human being could possibly desire --all in large enough quantity to last several weeks. It came at a discount, but transactions of hundreds of dollars were routine. The affable doctor behind the office desk was always adorned in a bowtie --prepared in the event that a stray television camera happened to pass by. He finally felt like a peer to the unique brand of athlete that he grew up idolizing.
The second generation promoter could have done something to stop it, but what the doctor was doing was nothing that wasn't going on elsewhere. Other members of the Pennsylvania State Athletic Commission could have stepped in, but they turned a blind eye. To them it was merely boys being boys. No one knew that years later, death and the strong arm of the law would lay a figurative bodyslam on the makeshift office that reverberated with enough impact to bring those involved most intimately to the brink of collapse.
* * * * *
Hollywood, California. July, 1988
The use of the studio that the two men occupied made up only a small part of the twenty million dollar budget that the upcoming promotional vehicle and full length feature film No Holds Barred commanded. It was an adventure for both. Vincent Kennedy McMahon Jr. had taken a hands on approach to the project, which fell under the Shane Productions branch of the Titan Sports Inc. umbrella. Though one of Hollywood's brightest --and most expensive --scriptwriters was tapped for the project, McMahon modified the story at will, molding it into an art-imitating-art progression in which a diabolical rival promoter with more than subtle similarities to Ted Turner attempted to raid his opposition of their biggest wrestling star. That star was Terry Bollea, better known to most as Hulk Hogan. Bollea wasn't simply along for the ride however. Fifteen months prior, Bollea's Wrestlemania III main event with the beloved "Andre the Giant" earned him the biggest one night payoff in the history of American wrestling. When the t's were crossed and the i's dotted, Bollea's involvement in No Holds Barred would guarantee him a bigger check than Vince McMahon Jr. had ever written to one of his wrestlers.
The time that the two men spent during the filming of No Holds Barred was the most that they would ever spend together. The stayed at the same hotel when they were off set, and shared a trailer when on the set. As business associates, the two men owed each other everything. Bollea's millions could have never been made without McMahon's cunning as a promoter, and McMahon's empire of hundreds of millions of dollars probably couldn't have reached such levels without Bollea as the face of the World Wrestling Federation. As friends, they grew as close as they ever would on those long days of filming in the summer of 1988.
And on this afternoon, Vincent Kennedy McMahon and Terry Bollea shared more than just road stories. On the set of No Holds Barred, Vince McMahon first approached Terry Bollea about steroids. McMahon listened intently as his biggest star explained the ins and outs of the different substances. Bollea briefed McMahon on the best way to cycle the drugs, and most likely showed his employer how to inject himself. That afternoon, "Hulk Hogan" gave McMahon part of his supply --decadorabilin and a bottle of anabar pills to be precise. Bollea didn't mind sharing his stash. "It is similar to how smokers share cigarettes" Hogan would say six years later while under oath.
* * * * *
Summer, 1989. Greenwich, Connecticut.
As social elite in wealthy Greenwich, Connecticut, the McMahon family were always in demand. Vince McMahon --a self-admitted workaholic -- rarely had the time to mingle. His third wife Linda still managed to find a few hours to let her hair down on occasion however. From humble beginnings, she relished the opportunity to establish herself as a fixture so high on the socialite ladder.
Linda McMahon's desire to be seen set off a chain of events that would save her husband and his World Wrestling Federation on this fateful evening. At what was likely another in a never ending series of stuffy dinner parties in Greenwich, Connecticut, Linda McMahon was having a conversation when the most unusual thing was accidentally mentioned off the cuff. On the outside, Linda McMahon likely played cool and disinterested. On the inside, she knew that it would change everything.
* * * * *
October 1989. Pennsylvania
The doctor's legitimate medical office was hardly a folding table in the dingy recesses of an aging arena. He didn't make a habit of writing unlimited prescriptions in this venue, but this afternoon he was making an exception.
"I'm giving you better prices than the wrestlers" the doctor said after agreeing to throw in a case of syringes for free.
He had just arranged a near $700 order that included steroids, eighteen vials of various injectable drugs and enough painkillers to ground an elephant. The recipient was William Dunn, and George Zahorian had no idea that he was wearing a wire.
* * * * *
February 1990. Stamford, Connecticut
One of Vince McMahon's chief aids walked discretely away from World Wrestling Federation offices. Looking over his shoulder to ensure that his privacy would not be compromised, he slowly fed his change into the payphone and began to dial. A payphone was the only way. If the phone call was recorded, the topple of the Titan Sports Inc. would be the least of problems. After a few rings a forty-year-old male answered. There is little doubt that this would be the worst call of Dr. George Zahorian's professional career.
In the midst of a series of mundane conversations at a dinner party, Linda McMahon had heard something that she was never meant to hear. A casual mention had been made in passing of a doctor for the Pennsylvania State Athletic Commission by the name of George Zahorian according to later accounts by Dave Meltzer. The Federal Bureau of Investigation was hot to him, and it wouldn't be long until the FBI would have a strong enough case to move on the doctor.
The message from Vince McMahon's representative was loud and clear. Any records that linked Titan Sports or Vince McMahon to Zahorian's illegal drug trafficking had to removed from his offices immediately and destroyed.
The doctor had grown up idolizing wrestlers and jumped at the opportunity to work for the Pennsylvania State Athletic Commission when the opportunity presented itself in the late 1970's. He knew that he would be assigned as Commission doctor at World Wide Wrestling Federation events in Allentown and Hamburg. Doctors like Zahorian were common in wrestling --often referred to behind their back as "jock-sniffers" due to their willingness to break the law in order to feel like one of the boys around the athletes. Sean Waltman, Scott Hall and the charismatic World Wrestling Federation champion "Shawn Michaels" would sometimes drive hours out the way to attend barbeques at the residence of a groupie-like doctor who would return the favor by opening a floodgate of prescription pills to the professional wrestlers. It was just part of the business. Zahorian began distributing controlled substances to professional wrestlers in 1981, and was ecstatic to play his part in the mechanism --until he received that phone call at least.
Almost immediately after the call, a high ranking World Wrestling Federation official by the name of Pat Patterson was having an urgent conversation of his own. It was with the prolific World Wrestling Federation Champion Terry Bollea. Patterson quietly briefed Bollea on the circumstances surrounding Zahorian, and told "Hulk Hogan" in no uncertain terms to cut of all contact with the doctor immediately and to never speak to or do business with him again. Bollea didn't listen. Several days later, he placed a phone call to George Zahorian, presumably about placing another order. Hogan wouldn't get a chance to do so. The doctor who had spent a decade desperately seeking acceptance from his idols would refuse to take the phone call from the biggest star in professional wrestling history.
* * * * *
March 1990. Pennsylvania
William Dunn once again walked into the door of George Zahorian's medical offices. Dunn was greeted by a very different man. The once jovial doctor was now nervous and reserved according to an account of the afternoon in Sex, Lies and Headlocks. If William Dunn momentarily felt regrets about setting up the doctor, they were likely drowned by thoughts of the cold prison cell he himself would have found himself occupying if not for his cooperation with the feds.
As Dunn walked out of Zahorian's offices with $25,000 worth of drugs, painkillers and steroids, he passed the two federal agents who were walking in with a warrant for the arrest of Dr. George Zahorian. According to Sex, Lies and Headlocks, Zahorian trembled when he saw the agents. Submissively, Zahorian asked permission to call his lawyer.
Moments later, the two agents heard a faint sound in the distance. It was the sound of paper tearing. When they cornered Zahorian, they found him on his knees, nervously clutching a fist full of shredded paper. When the agents pried his hands open, they found the remains of Federal Express receipts. They bared the names of Alfred Hayes and Roddy Piper --two stars of Vince McMahon's World Wrestling Federation. In his final act before leaving his office in handcuffs, Zahorian was attempting to protect the professional wrestlers who had played a part in landing him in such a dire position.
The effort was in vein. The FBI had been following the paper trail for months, and the names of Vince McMahon and Terry Bollea were all over it. As the hammer was about to come down on the doctor who sacrificed his professional career and freedom to get closer to the wrestlers his substances would end up putting in early graves, the early stages of a case against the wrestling promoter who didn't do a thing to stop it was slowly being built, and it contained enough to potentially put Vincent McMahon Jr. behind bars for a decade.

Experts voice adoption, privacy concerns over NIST cybersecurity framework
The preliminary framework outlines a set of steps that can be customized to various sectors while providing a consistent approach to cybersecurity.
Technology: Navigating compliance standards in the clouds
A fundamental understanding of some basic standards is needed in order to assess their relevancy to a particular business' use of cloud computing services.
NIST releases proposed cybersecurity framework
Given the gargantuan cost of cybersecurity, this set of standards should be a good place to start for less tech-savvy companies who are looking for guidance in an effort to more effectively address cyber risk.
U.S. agencies show 'limited' progress in improving cybersecurity measures
By 2012, 24 major federal agencies had established many of the components of an information security program required by FISMA; however, they had only partially established others.
NIST releases preview of cybersecurity standards
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) released a preview of what could be forthcoming cybersecurity standards.

Lack of opinion is not such an easy task
I woke up on the day I wrote this (though there may be some doubt among those who know me that I am ever awake) and thought to myself:
I will go through this day having absolutely no opinions about anything.
About 20 minutes later, after showering, shaving and brushing my teeth, I thought to myself:
"Hey, I am doing pretty well as this no-opinion thing!"
And at that precise moment, I was dead in the water.
Opinions are a nuisance, they get in the way of seeing the world as it really is.
Everyone with an opinion on something seems to consider himself or herself an expert. I find people without firm opinions to be much more interesting.
Opinions have intrigued me since I got into this newspaper game 40 years ago.
How does one stay aloof from their opinions?
It is seemingly impossible. They are like water, just flowing in and out of your brain. You can't stop the damn things.
In discussing with a university journalism class the matter of objectivity, I told them complete impartiality is a bit of a myth.
We strive for objectivity in the reporting, but there is a slight degree of it lost simply in undertaking to do a story. They looked miffed, but I hoped that was just because they were thinking about it and not that I was completely inarticulate on the matter. Of course, that would just have been their opinions.
If you are thinking about it, then in all likelihood you are forming opinions right now.
It snowed Wednesday morning (remember?) and we looked out and said "that's beautiful." We slid while traversing the two-lane road and it was, well let's say it was "less beautiful."
Which one of those two opinions was the truth?
Neither. Just opinions, the kind of thoughts that jump about our heads all day long.
Much of what we in our heads during our waking moments are opinions. They can make us happy or anxious or whatever, but they are simply brain works.
We can criticize the weather guy for his reports when the next day hits and things are not as he predicted. But he was just offering an opinion based on the data on hand.
How do we separate fact from fiction – or opinions – when taking in the everyday world?
If you say that you "love" something, I think it could be fact or opinion. I love my wife, children, granddaughters, others in the family and some friends without reservation. It is somewhere in me.
But I could love something for what good it does for me, like a warm summer day, and I think the first example is of a fact and the second is of fiction – but that's just my opinion.
Complicated, hey?
If a reporter covers a fire she may report the estimate given by a fire chief on the cost of the damage and that is fact, that the chief made that estimate. The estimate itself is informed opinion.
But if the reporter says that the fire lighted the night sky for miles around, well that is a bit of opinion since we doubt that she drove for miles around the fire to ascertain the degree to which the light was seen. It is logical that the fire did that, but still an opinion.
So, it you see where I am going with this completed subject, then you have a better opinion of it than I do.
So I will shut up, i.e keep my opinions to myself.
A Zen sage is quoted as having said: "Do not seek the truth; only cease to cherish opinions."
So if I can't stop opining, I at least won't cherish the results.

text: AVEO Oncology (NASDAQ: AVEO) and Astellas Pharma Inc. (TSE: 4503) today announced plans to initiate a new clinical study, TAURUS ( Tivoz Anib Use ve Rs Us Sutent in advanced renal cell carcinoma (RCC): Patient Preference), to establish additional data regarding the investigational drug tivozanib when used as first-line therapy in patients with advanced RCC. The TAURUS study will enroll patients at sites throughout the United States and Western Europe. "With more treatment options available for patients living with cancer, it's becoming increasingly critical to understand how patient preference is influenced by side effects and other related issues," said William Slichenmyer, M.D., Sc.M., chief medical officer at AVEO. "Following the positive findings from the Phase 3 TIVO-1 trial, the TAURUS study will allow us to further define the tolerability profile of tivozanib and understand the role that tivozanib could play in the treatment of first line advanced kidney cancer compared to a standard of care drug." "Patients and their healthcare providers are looking for anti-cancer agents that are more effective and better tolerated than existing therapeutic options," said Bernard Escudier, M.D., principal investigator for TAURUS, Institut Gustave Roussy, "The TAURUS study will help us better understand how the side effect profiles of drugs affect patients' treatment choices. The typical patient being treated for metastatic kidney cancer is middle-aged, active and is still in the work force and therefore the impact of side effects may be more important to them." "The TAURUS trial will help us better understand patient preference in selecting kidney cancer treatment options," stated Steven Ryder, M.D., president, Astellas Pharma Global Development. "The study supports Astellas' goal of leadership in oncology and our commitment to improving patient care." TAURUS is a randomized (1:1), double-blind, crossover controlled, multi-center Phase 2 study comparing tivozanib versus sunitinib in approximately 160 patients with advanced RCC who have received no prior systemic therapy. The primary objective of the study is to compare patient preference after receiving both tivozanib and sunitinib in sequence. Secondary objectives are to evaluate the incidence of treatment-emergent Grade 3/4 adverse events (AEs) and serious adverse events (SAEs); frequency of dose modifications; and quality of life in patients treated with tivozanib versus sunitinib.

IN HIS letter of July 2, Geoffrey Searstone argues that becoming a home owner is not for the "privileged few".
With average house prices in York requiring eight times annual income and mortgages being restricted, the situation is getting worse.
Research in York shows that the average age of people obtaining a mortgage is in their late 30s and rising, and that deposits in the city for a starter home are around £25,000.
With many York working households paying the highest rents outside of the South East, often more than 40 per cent of income set against the recommended 25 per cent, then it is not possible for a majority to save.
Nationally, home ownership is in decline and reports from the left and right show that this trend is unlikely to reverse in better economic times.
So home ownership is indeed becoming for the privileged few.
Cllr Tracey Simpson-Laing, Cabinet Member for Homes & Safer Communities, City of York Council.

A Survival Guide to Drop-Off Selling
Ina Steiner, editor of auction news site AuctionBytes.com, offers a few guidelines to keep in mind when choosing a drop-off store.
Check feedback ratings: Get the store's EBay user ID, which may not be the same as the store's name. Then, look at its rating, a sign of how buyers have liked that store's service. Also note how long it has been an EBay seller.
Look at the store's auctions: Do you like the presentation? Are the descriptions informative and persuasive? How good are the photos?
Research collectibles: If you know or suspect your item is rare or valuable, ask if the store has particular expertise in the subject--most won't. You will probably have to do a little legwork to get a good idea of a fair minimum selling price.
Get references: Follow up with a store's prior customers to learn about their experiences.

Taxi drivers in St Albans are once again urging politicians to put a limit on the number of licences issued as they claim nothing has been done to improve their situation.
Hackney carriage drivers across the district, who are members of the St Albans Taxi Association, asked the council's licensing committee to consider introducing a regulation in July, as they say there are too many taxis on the roads.
They argue that they find it hard to earn a decent wage because of the competition, and that existing taxi ranks ares full.
However their original calls were rejected and the district council said it was following guidance from the Office of Fair Trading and Department of Transport reports on best practice.
Mudassar Yasin, secretary of the taxi association, is now leading the campaign to get the proposal resubmitted.
He said: "Having lots of taxis doesn't necessarily mean that you will get a better service. If the drivers aren't earning enough the service will deteriorate.
"Ten years ago you would know your passengers by their first name - it is not personal any more."
Mr Yasin says drivers now have to work longer hours because of the competition for passengers, and his average weekend shift is about 15 hours long.
He added: "Everyone is out all the time now trying to make money.
"It is causing a lot of problems - just the health issues of working so many hours and not sleeping properly."
The association says there are about 260 Hackney carriages in the city, as well as approximately 180 private cars, which is far higher than the suggested figure of one and a half taxis for every 1,000 residents.
Mohammed Khan, chairman of the association, is worried about the congestion around the taxi ranks, especially during busy times.
After rejecting the original plans, the council agreed to build a new taxi rank to ease congestion.
But plans for a new rank in Harpenden were rejected by the town council, and the association claims no further locations have been proposed.
Mr Khan said: "Because there are so many cars they are parking all over the place.
"When the ranks are full where are we meant to go?"

Group overview
Since Liberty International released its 2009 interim statement on 31 July 2009, several indicators have confirmed the improving conditions in the property investment and debt markets in which the group operates.
Shareholders were advised in February this year that the group would not be undertaking a quarterly valuation of investment properties at 30 September 2009. However, in terms of market benchmarks, the IPD UK all property monthly index for the three months ended 30 September 2009 has shown capital growth of 1.2 per cent (1.8 per cent for the IPD UK monthly retail index), with a notable firming of valuation yields offsetting the pressure on rental values.
The new £290 million debt facility concluded by the St. David's Partnership, the 50:50 joint venture with Land Securities PLC, has demonstrated that bank financing is becoming more readily available for prime assets. The possible return of a more active market for listed property debt securities has been foreshadowed by a number of transactions in recent months.
The retail tenant market remains challenging but activity levels have improved and retailer failures slowed down markedly in the third quarter.
The equity capital raise by way of a placing of 56.1 million new shares (9.9 per cent of the group's then issued share capital) at £5.00 per share completed on 5 October raising £274 million net of expenses. This additional capital enables the group to resume investment in its prime UK regional shopping centres and Central London assets after having halted in the last quarter of 2008 all uncommitted capital expenditure, given the exceptional financial market turbulence at that time.
Capital Shopping Centres
Occupancy at Capital Shopping Centres' (CSC's) centres has remained high at 98.9 per cent, 97.6 per cent excluding tenants in administration (30 June 2009 - 98.3 per cent and 96.3 per cent, 31 December 2008 - 98.7 per cent and 93.6 per cent respectively). After a period of exceptionally high failure levels, the number of tenants going into administration slowed significantly in the quarter, affecting 20 units and £3 million of rental income (first six months of 2009 125 units and £19.3 million of rental income). Whilst further failures may well emerge in the next few months, the number of tenants showing signs of distress is lower than last winter's exceptional level.
CSC has achieved over 50 re-lettings this quarter of which around half are short term under five years. Although overall at a significant discount to previous rental levels the short term lettings have been important in limiting void costs including empty rates. Demand continues from both UK retailers and overseas entrants to the UK market, particularly for larger, well-configured space.
Footfall continues to show a year-on-year increase of over 3 per cent for CSC's established centres.
Excluding tenants in administration and formal payment plans, 98 per cent of the September quarter rent was collected within 28 days of the quarter date, broadly equivalent to the collection rate at the June quarter date.
Developments & active management projects
The major new extension to St. David's, Cardiff, anchored by the largest John Lewis store outside London and their first in Wales, opened on 22 October after three years in construction, unveiling over 50 new shops, of which around half are retailers new to Wales. A further 30 stores are set to open before Christmas with additional openings in the New Year. The proportion of the extension let or in solicitors' hands has now reached 70 per cent by area and 65 per cent by income with active negotiations in respect of a number of other units. The response of both retailers and shoppers to this major enhancement of Cardiff's retail offer has been very positive.
Letting and construction activity is continuing at the major new mall, St Andrew's Way, Eldon Square, Newcastle due to open in February 2010 and now 88 per cent let by area and 92 per cent by income. The leisure and catering upgrade in the Yellow and Blue Quadrants of MetroCentre, Gateshead continues and is now 82 per cent let by area and 73 per cent by income, with the cinema and family entertainment area due to open in December 2009.
Approximately half of the £274 million proceeds of the October placing have been earmarked to fund identified active management initiatives across many of CSC's centres, such as continued improvement of catering facilities to extend dwell times and trading hours, expansion of retail units into redundant service areas and remodelling of space to create well-configured, large units for flagship, full concept stores.
Capital & Counties
The Covent Garden estate is trading encouragingly, effectively fully let at 99 per cent, with Q3 2009 footfall ahead of Q3 2008. Capital & Counties intends to continue to invest in the estate with individual projects falling into three broad types. First, tactical infill acquisitions are identified to consolidate holdings and improve north - south linkages. Second, refurbishment and remodelling of some existing holdings is planned. Third, the group intends to continue to be pro-active in improving overall tenant mix.
At Earls Court, Capital & Counties has signed a tripartite collaboration agreement with Transport for London and the London Borough of Hammersmith & Fulham. It is intended that this agreement will be replaced by a formal joint venture in due course. The parties have agreed to work together to submit a planning application for the comprehensive redevelopment of their interests, which form the Earls Court Regeneration Area. The operational exhibition business continues to perform soundly with forward bookings for 2010 at satisfactory levels.
Consistent with its approach of recycling capital from mature assets, the Great Capital Partnership ("GCP"), the joint venture with Great Portland Estates PLC, has sold Spirella House, Oxford Circus, London for £23 million, 12.5 per cent above book value at June 2009. Further, GCP has re-geared a number of leases with The Crown Estate in Piccadilly and Jermyn Street, London, including extending the lease term on average from 69 years to 125 years, improving the potential for comprehensive redevelopment in due course.
On 30 September 2009 the group's net external debt was £3.3 billion, with cash of £547 million. The pro forma impact of the £274 million capital raising which completed on 5 October is to reduce net external debt to £3.1 billion and improve the debt to assets ratio to 51 per cent (30 June 2009 - 56 per cent).
The St David's Partnership has entered into a £290 million, five year limited recourse debt facility secured on St David's, Cardiff. The proceeds can be drawn down in stages in line with progress on letting of the extension. £74 million has been drawn by the Partnership to date based on income from the original centre.
Of the £103 million capital expenditure anticipated for the second half of 2009, around £50 million has been spent in the third quarter, principally at Cardiff. UK commitments at the end of September 2009 amounted to £160 million.
The group remains in compliance with all financial debt covenants. There have been no further compliance-related debt repayments other than the £36 million anticipated in the Interim Report. Given more stable market conditions, the group is re-assessing the level of cash liquidity required for potential covenant issues. Options for most efficiently reducing the group's asset-specific debt are being considered, with a view to reducing the earnings drag from the current significant cash balances. The first such action was completed on 30 October 2009 when a net prepayment of £59 million of the debt secured on Lakeside, Thurrock was made, leaving a refinancing requirement of £546 million by July 2011. We are already engaged in positive discussions with a number of lenders regarding this refinancing.
Notwithstanding the welcome signs of improvement in the property and debt markets and greater activity in tenant markets, short term pressure on the group's earnings continues, as previously indicated, from the low returns on temporary cash holdings and the lower income attributable to short-term re-lettings following the last year's tenant failures.
Liberty International is now well placed to take the business forward organically at a time of little new supply of high quality regional shopping centre space, with the group's prime destinations continuing to outperform inferior locations. Following the October capital raising, the group now has further financial resources to enable it to continue to invest in its existing prime assets to take advantage of their scale and quality.

Dear Students,
Well, it is finally here! The long awaited Student Slate has arrived! This Spring/Summer 2002 issue of The Student Slate is being dedicated to Jennica Ferguson, a young woman who died of cancer in 2000. She embodied everything that is Federationism. Her unwavering spirit and undaunted determination made her a truly remarkable person. She believed strongly in the work of the National Federation of the Blind, as well as the National Association of Blind Students. Before she died, she was one of the student leaders in Michigan, who dreamed of what has now been established as the Michigan Association of Blind students. Jennica's strong will and endurance can encourage all of us in our efforts to make a difference. She certainly made a difference in the lives of those who knew her, and her spirit can do the same for those who did not.
I would like to thank Kimberly Aguillard and Brook Sexton for their work on
this issue, as well as those individuals who submitted articles. I encourage
all of you to submit your articles. Everyone has a story to tell about an experience
they have had as a blind student and how they dealt with the situation. The
purpose of this publication is to share those stories with each other, so that
we can use the stories as a resource when dealing with experiences in our own
Our student list serve has been very active with discussion about such experiences.
If you are not already a member of the list serve, we invite you to subscribe
and add to the discussion. Send a message to email@example.com.
Leave the subject line blank, and in the body of the message (in all lowercase)
write, "subscribe nabs-l." If you are subscribed to the listserve,
keep posting those thought-provoking questions and intriguing answers!
On February 2, 2002, The annual student seminar was held in conjunction with
the Washington Seminar. It was a great seminar! The agenda was filled with excellent
speakers, who all had an important message to share. There were twenty state
student divisions represented, and each had an opportunity to talk about what
was going on in their respective divisions. The banquet was lively, and the
banquet address, delivered by Everly Harrston, was extraordinarily good! For
those of you who were unable to attend, we hope that you can make it next year.
Since the Washington Seminar, we have had an addition to our NABS community
of state student divisions. The Idaho Association of Blind Students was formed
at the Idaho state convention, March 15, 2002. We wish IDABS great success as
its members build the division and make a difference for blind students in Idaho.
National Convention is coming up, July 3-9. The National Association of Blind
students will be holding their annual student division meeting on July 4, 2002
from 7:00 P.M. to 10:00 P.M. We will also be hosting Monte Carlo Night July
7, beginning at 8:00P.M. NABS invites everyone to come and support the efforts
of the student division.
We hope you enjoy this issue of The Student Slate, but we also hope that the articles provide you with a sense of true Federation spirit, causing you to think about, revel in, or even question your philosophy about blindness. Knowing who we are, how far we have come, and realizing how far we have left to go is what keeps us marching together as a movement. This publication is to help remind you that you are not walking alone. There are many blind students around the country who believe in the capabilities of the blind and relate to experiences that you have had or will have as a blind student.
See you at convention!
Angela Wolf
President, National Association of Blind Students

Updated: Early Tuesday afternoon I caught up with Josh Johnson's agent who said his client had the Pirates as one of 'three of four' finalists for his services. Unfortunately for the Pirates, late Tuesday night the Padres turned out to be the finalist. ESPN reported around midnight that Johnson had agreed to a one-year, $8 million deal with the Padres. The deal carries $1.25 million in incentives.
Johnson's is coming off a down year, but has upside: See his 3.58 xFIP vs. 6.20 ERA and a 9.2 strikeout rate. Johnson was seeking for a pitcher-friendly home ballpark and for a ticket back to the National League after a disastrous year in the AL East.
The Pirates have a run-depressing park and have revitalized the careers of Francisco Liriano and AJ Burnett in recent seasons. It's not surprising they were on each other's radar. It's a fit that would have made a lot of sense. But San Diego and San Francisco were thought to be his favorites from the beginning as they closer to his Las Vegas home.
The Pirates are calling on other high-upside starting pitchers as we reported last week, but Johnson was perhaps the most attractive upside play on the market.
Johnson looks a lot like Liriano of 2012. Johnson's ERA was ugly but like Liriano in 2012 he still had an elite strikeout rate, low-to-mid 90s velocity (92.8 mph in 2013 same as 2012) and a swing-and-miss slider. Johnson posted his best swinging-strike rate (9.3 percent) since 2010.
The good news is for the Pirates is Johnson and his agent realized the Pirates' defensive plan made a difference last year. Other pitchers and agents see this, too. They also saw September's raucous crowds and the 94 wins,
"I think Pittsburgh was considered at one as a total no go as a destination for players," Johnson's agent Matt Sosnick said. "I think that Neal and his group there have changed that and that mindset."
Had Johnson signed with the Pirates, the Pirates' financial flexibility to sign AJ Burnett could have been hindered.
Polanco is tearing up the winter league and Pirates Latin American scouting director Rene Gayo is there to see him:
"He's playing very well," Gayo said. "He is very close to being ready."
And it's not just Gayo who is impressed, it's also outside scouts, according to a report by Peter Gammons.
22-year old Pirate outfielder Gregory Polanco —6-4, Devon White speed, big arm. After jumping to double-A this season, he's leading the Dominican with four homers, has an OPS close to 1.000, and while the Pirates—whose organization is developing into one of the best in the game—feel he needs to start the season in triple-A, by August they can see this five tooler in a three center fielder outfield with Andrew McCutchen flanked by Polanco in right and Sterling Marte in left.
Coming to right field and a perhaps lead-off spot near you in 2014. But how early in 2014?

Look Who's Traveling in 2013!
With only a few days to go until Thanksgiving, we realize most of you are probably worrying about when to start brining your turkey, how many pies to make—or how you're going to make it through the rest of this holiday season. Here at Tingo, we're excited for mashed potatoes and gravy too, but what we really can't stop thinking about is travel in 2013. We predict next year will be all about penny-pinching, savvy, and peace-and-quiet-seeking travelers. Check out our new infographic (below—click on it to make it bigger), then leave a comment on what you think will be next year's biggest travel story.
