LAWRENCEVILLE, NJ--(Marketwire - October 01, 2012) - Celsion Corporation (NASDAQ: CLSN), a leading oncology drug development company, today announced the presentation of Phase I results from the Company's Phase I/II DIGNITY study of ThermoDox® in Breast Cancer Recurrences at the Chest Wall at the ESMO 2012 Congress, the annual conference for the European Society of Medical Oncology held in Vienna, Austria September 28 to October 2, 2012. The presentation, titled "Breast Cancer Recurrences at the Chest Wall (BCRCW) When Standard Treatments (Tx) Have Failed: Lyso-thermosensitive liposomal doxorubicin (LTLD) + Mild Local Hyperthermia (MLH)," was delivered by Professor Hope S. Rugo, MD, from the UCSF School of Medicine, and provided a clinical update of the Phase I/II DIGNITY trial studying ThermoDox® for breast cancer. A copy of the poster presentation is available at www.celsion.com/docs/pipeline_presentations.
In the Phase I portion of the DIGNITY study, a highly treatment-refractory BCRCW patient population was treated using ThermoDox® in combination with MLH for superficial lesions < 3cm depth that have failed standard treatment. The study was designed to determine the Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) or confirm 50 mg/m2 as acceptable, evaluate safety, Sparse PK sampling, and determine early effects of ThermoDox® in combination with MLH. A total of 11 subjects were treated. Drug Related Adverse Events were consistent with the known safety profile of doxorubicin including myelosuppression, alopecia, fatigue, and nausea. Reversible myelosuppression was the most frequently observed effect, effectively managed with ASCO g-CSF treatment recommendations. Clinically meaningful responses were observed, including a target lesion response rate of 45% without local progression (complete response 9.1%, n=1/11, partial response 36.4%, n=4/11). The study found that 50 mg/m2 is the acceptable Phase 2 dose, as determined by independent review. Based on these results, Celsion is continuing into a Phase 2 study, to include additional clinical research sites.
Professor Rugo commented, "BCRCW patients, who in this study had an average of over four prior regimens, often have limited or no treatment options, underscoring a significant unmet medical need in this population. The initial experience with hyperthermia and ThermoDox® demonstrates the tolerability of the regimen in these patients as well as early efficacy signals, providing strong support for moving into a larger study."
"Breast cancer recurrence at the chest wall has a poor prognosis, is difficult to treat and is characterized by disfigurement, pain, and restriction of movement. These results, therefore, particularly in such highly refractory patients, are encouraging," said Nicholas Borys, Celsion's Vice President and Chief Medical Officer. "These data are further evidence of ThermoDox®'s broad potential clinical value across different cancers, including the ability to provide a new tool against aggressive, superficial tumors. We look forward to rapidly recruiting patients for the Phase 2 portion of DIGNITY as results from our Phase 3 HEAT study of ThermoDox® in primary liver cancer become available."
National Breast Cancer Awareness Month
Professor Rugo's presentation of data from the DIGNITY Study comes at a very poignant time for BCRCW patients. Celsion notes that October is National Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and urges the breast cancer research community to make the public aware of our promising trial in this difficult to treat form of cancer.
About ThermoDox® and the Phase III HEAT Study
ThermoDox® is a proprietary heat-activated liposomal encapsulation of doxorubicin, an approved and frequently used oncology drug for the treatment of a wide range of cancers. In the HEAT Study, ThermoDox® is administered intravenously in combination with Radio Frequency Ablation (RFA). Localized mild hyperthermia (39.5 - 42 degrees Celsius) created by the RFA releases the entrapped doxorubicin from the liposome. This delivery technology enables high concentrations of doxorubicin to be deposited preferentially in a targeted tumor.
For primary liver cancer, ThermoDox® is being evaluated in a global, multi-center, randomized, pivotal Phase III HEAT Study at 79 clinical sites under an FDA Special Protocol Assessment. The study is designed to evaluate the efficacy of ThermoDox® in combination with RFA when compared to patients who receive RFA alone as the control. The primary endpoint for the study is progression-free survival with a secondary confirmatory endpoint of overall survival. Additional information on the Company's ThermoDox® clinical studies may be found at www.clinicaltrials.gov.

WTF? Is anyone watching NBA Kia Shootaround. They went to commercial saying "Can JO's days be over in Indiana?"
I sure *******ing hope not, it's suppose to be coming up!
Ahh Marc Stein just said that JO is taking the blame, and reiterated that JO had a meeting with Walsh and Bird claiming if he couldn't get the team to the Championship this year, that maybe he should move on.
Stein said the team doesn't blame O'neal, but the floor leader (Tinsley) and other guys for bad decision making and that they need to improve!
Guess we all knew that!!
this entire team needs to be blown up...and that includes jo and carlisle. i have been in favor of trading jo for a while now because it is quite evident he is NOT a franchise player and more of a #2 option. but i'll admit, he really has come to play this season. it's unfortunate he didn't show this kind of passion 2 years ago as we could have had a VERY good team on our hands. but again, this team needs to be rebuilt from top to bottom.
As I said in another thread. I hate to see JO go but Kidd would be the last piece of puzzle to an up tempo team. Their salaries are almost identical.
It's too bad in a way, as JO has been playing an extreme high caliber of ball. Definite all-star play, but it doesn't take advantage of all the speed that we have on the roster.
I would give up anyone but JO for Kidd! as long as we could try to hold onto Granger, if not oh well!
Kidd/JO plus an outside shooter= Championship calibur
[That isn't necessary. -- Shade]I have never EVER trashed another poster on this board for their opinion but that is absolute garbage. I imagine that would take the Nets a whole .003 seconds to decide. Or they might tell us they'll think about it, and then proceed to pour champagne on one another after they hang up.
TINSLEY is the problem period. end of story. He averages 12.8 PPG and 6.2 APG, I would much rather him score 6.2 PPG and average 12.8APG that might be slightly over his ability but I don't think it's out of the question for him to average 10 APG and not miss a step except for the occasional game where the team just has an off night which plagues all teams.The thing is, is I understand JO's frustration i'm sure he believes Tinsley is capable of doing that but for some reason he acts like he has got to be out there scoring left and right.
That game in Dallas was just sickening to watch I've seen many point guards will their team to victory, but that was the first game i've ever seen a point guard will a team to defeat.
JO >>>..I could break my keyboard typing it...>>> Kidd
We could get Kidd without giving up JO IMO. Send Tinsley and Harrington and that might do it.
If we trade JO for Kidd, we deserve to go to the lottery. That's insane.
This thread title is just a tad bit "misleading".....
Yeah as of now, when I first posted, I was watching NBA Kia Shootaround, and that's what they said was coming up for going to commercial.
I added a "?" to try to help prevent that.
You dont trade a piece like Jermaine O'neal for someone who is what 33 years old right now? On the downside of his career. You trade him for young guys,picks and expiring contracts so you can build for the future.
WTF Do you think we are going to be with Jason Kidd on this team? The Suns?
I have heard a lot of complaints of JO (and a lot of them rightfullyso) but I have never heard the complaint that he "hinders" his teammates.
That is a new one for me.
I will be the first to argue that JO does not make his teammates better, which I wish he could do (ala a KG or Timmy D) but I have never seen him "hinder" the progress of the players around him.
If anything it is the exact opposite.
I agree. What was done here is take a very misleading ESPN tease make it ten times worse and make it a thread title.
JO said some of this stuff after last season and as training camp started -
No matter how you cut it, trading JO for Kidd makes no sense whatsoever.
We were mislead possibly blinded to think we have the pieces in the starting line up to be a fast break team. We have Al who when he got here wanted to be "Boris Diaw" (His words not mine) However this man couldn't be farther from Boris Diaw he is shoot first, second, and third and pass fourth. We just don't have the pieces. Like I said trading JO for Kidd makes zero sense, sorry.
Preach on!! I like the fact that we were getting Harrington, b/c it wouldn't feel like we loss Peja for nothing, but I was kinda hoping we would hold off a little until the season. We had Granger to play SF with Quis and Williams to back him up. We could have at least looked at what we had before using that 7.5mil exception and a 1st round pick what is suppose to be a deep draft! I don't mind Al if he plays under control and doesn't force it. He's shooting the 3 well, but I would still prefer a Peja type to spread the offense consistently and not cram things down low, or a guard who can drive and dish or score consistently.
I'm sure with the 7.5 exception and a 1st round pick, we could have gotten rid of either Tins or Jax if we would have waited. Oh well I like Al, but things need to come around instead of this inconsistent .500 basketball. No way we should be on the road competing against the Mavs and Detriot. And then losing at home to Charlotte... it's sad.

LEWISBERRY, Pa., March 10, 2010 /PRNewswire via COMTEX News Network/ -- Unilife Corporation ("Unilife" or "Company") (Nasdaq: UNIS; ASX: UNS) today announced that it has signed an exclusive five-year agreement with Stason Pharmaceuticals Inc ("Stason"), a U.S.-based pharmaceutical company, to market the Unitract(TM) 1mL safety syringe ("Product") in Japan, China and Taiwan ("designated territories"). Stason's Taiwan-based strategic alliance affiliate, Standard Chem. and Pharm. Co., LTD ("Standard"), will act as the primary distributor of the product within these designated territories.
This agreement includes a requirement for Stason to purchase a minimum of one million units of the Unitract(TM) 1mL syringe per year during the term of the contract (subject to annual review). Stason is placing an immediate annual order with Unilife for the purchase of one million units of the Unitract(TM) 1mL syringe. Other countries within South-East Asia may be added to the list of designated territories where Stason has exclusive rights to sell the Product if the parties reach agreement on minimum orders for those countries.
Stason CEO Harry Fan stated: "We believe strongly in the market for the Unitract(TM) safety syringe and its potential to help decrease needlestick injuries around the world. We are excited to be one of the first distributors of this revolutionary device and to have the opportunity to exclusively distribute the Unitract(TM) syringe to our customers in Asia. In particular, we believe there are significant opportunities for pharmaceutical companies to gain a competitive market advantage by supplying their injectable drugs in kits containing the drug vial and units of the Unitract(TM) 1mL Syringe."
Stason Vice President, Corporate Development Diana Wood, added: "This strategic alliance with Unilife also represents our joint vision where drugs and devices come together to deliver medications more comfortably to patients and more safely for hospital staff."
Unilife CEO Alan Shortall stated: "With manufacturing of our Unitract(TM) 1mL syringes underway at our FDA-certified facility in Pennsylvania, we are excited to move forward with this initial distribution agreement and initial order for one million Unitract(TM) safety syringes with Stason Pharmaceuticals and Standard Chem. and Pharma. We believe there is a significant market opportunity for our safety syringes throughout the Asia-Pacific region, especially within fast-growing nations where there is both an appreciation for innovative US-manufactured technology and a desire to use premium safety medical devices which can minimize the transmission of blood-borne pathogens such as HIV and hepatitis C within healthcare facilities.
"We look forward to working closely with Stason and Standard to develop these markets and secure sustained rates of growth for the sale of our products across Asia. We are also continuing to negotiate with other pharmaceutical and healthcare companies across the world for distribution rights for the Unitract(TM) 1mL syringes. We expect that additional agreements will be signed in conjunction with the continued global rollout of the Unitract(TM) 1mL syringes," Mr. Shortall said.
The Unitract(TM) range of 1mL syringes is the world's first and only known syringe that allows operators to control the speed of automatic needle retraction directly from the patient's body into the barrel of the syringe where it is locked in place. The products are well positioned to help prevent the transmission of blood-borne diseases such as HIV and hepatitis C via aerosol dispersal, needlestick injuries and syringe reuse. Primary target markets of the products include healthcare facilities, pharmaceutical companies and patients who self-administer prescription medication.
Also, while Unilife continues to have a relationship with Shanghai Kindly Enterprise Development Group Company Ltd ("KDL") for the assembly of its Unitract(TM) 1mL syringes within China on a per order basis, other agreements between Unilife and KDL relating to the distribution of the product within China and other agreed territories have expired. Stason has advised the Company of a preference to receive units of the Unitract(TM) 1mL syringe that are assembled at Unilife's FDA-registered facilities in the U.S. State of Pennsylvania.

Back in 1988 I wrote FOFT, at the start of the game I did a little sequence where you started out viewing a galaxy from a long way away. The galaxy rotated in 3D. After a short while the camera zoomed into a single solar system, then through the solar system to a single planet.
Of course in those days my "galaxy" only had 256 stars, and no dust but it still took a lot of work to get all the bits to work real time.
I want to do the same sequence again, but I now want it to look great.
My target platform is OpenGLES 1.0, so no shaders, and a very basic form of GLES, so no point sprites or render to texture.I also need it to run on mobile devices, so ram is limited.
With these limitations, I am struggling to come up with a design for the code.
I am thinking of storing my galaxy as a sparse 2D array with each element containing dust density, star density, and thickness.
However rendering that structure real time is going to be tough.
For the distant view I could run a marching cubes algo and texture each poly from an atlas, but that won't work when the camera is inside the structure.
With shaders I would probably look at a ray marching algo, but I don't think I can get that real time without them.
Any ideas guys?
I would probably try regular ol' billboard particles first, before trying to take a volume rendering approach.
I think you're pretty much on the right path. Transitioning from distant billboards to 3D objects when up close can be tricky, but it can be done. It's all about cross fading at the right time, which just means you have to keep experimenting until you find the sweet spot. I would basically implement my own software mipmapper and treat level "0" as the moment when I should start the transition. It helps to throw some dust in there or pass through a nebula when you really need to pull off some smoke and mirror magic.
Another alternative would be to use deep zoom. It's more FMV then actual programming effort on your part, but it's easy to setup and allows for more flexibility than a basic video. Since you mention this is a sequence and probably won't need to do much more than present it, it's an option I thought I would throw out there. You can see an example of it here, or if you have Silverlight installed you can check out the world telescope website.
While I want it to be good looking for the front end, I'm thinking I need a cut down version for the navigation display.
So pre-rendering is not really what I want to do.
Bill boarding always looks a little strange to me when you have a lot of movement, it's fine for linear zoom, but once you add rotation... iffy.
My thoughts at the moment are heading towards a voxel solution. Each voxel will be subdivided as they get closer to the camera, At large distances each voxel would be rendered as a billboard sprite with the dust and star density used to select which sprite to draw. At closer distance several sprites. One for the dust and one for each star.
I am worried about the speed though, I think to get the speed I will have to use too large a scale when all the galaxy is displayed. I suppose the only way to find out is to try.
Before I do that I will have a play with some ray-casting techniques. They are easier to implement
Still not sure though. I feel like I'm missing a trick. I have that kind of itch in the back of my head I get when an idea is trying to fight it's way through the day to day rubbish stacked in my head.
Okay I've raycast a 256 by 128 image in software
Doesn't look too bad, I could possibly work with it but I would need to do a lot of tweaking
Needs a lot of tidying up, but I'm not sure it's worth it. The code is very slow. 300-400 mS at a guess
Need to think about it, any ideas?
the code basically does ....
for (int y=0; y<STARVIEW_HEIGHT; y++)
for (int x=0; x<STARVIEW_WIDTH; x++)
float fx = tanHalfFovX * (float)(2*x - STARVIEW_WIDTH)/(float)STARVIEW_WIDTH;
float fy = tanHalfFovY * (float)(2*y - STARVIEW_HEIGHT)/(float)STARVIEW_HEIGHT;
CVec3 d = front - lup * fy - left * fx;
float t,u;
if( castRay( eye, d, t , u) )
starview[pos++] = terrainColor( d, t , u );
starview[pos++] = 0xff0000ff;
Looks puffy, but otherwise neat
Raycasting should be fast if the problem set is simple enough, but even faster would be to reduce your problem to a simple 2D scanline algorithm with mathematical formulas (spiral, spherical falloff) and cached perlin noise texture to dictate the denser regions. Even then, if you're planing on rendering a dozen unique rotating galaxies then you're pushing the limits. If your target hardware is limited to GLES 1.0, I'm going to guess the CPU is probably not that good either. I would say this would be more interesting approach if the end result is to render high quality galaxies, but I'm not so sure for real-time gaming.
Have you considered something more like how Spore does it?
Using a simple particle simulator and billboards, you can pull off a decent looking galaxy. They used a rather large radial distance in their game, but it would be trivial to reduce that and get a more tight look. Best of all, it would be hardware accelerated and you can throw in some animation effects such as simulating pulsars, animating star luminosity, create nebulous regions (randomly placed billboards; I know you luv billboards so much!), and transitioning would be simpler (IMO) when you're already dealing with 3D objects.
My galaxy is defined by a 128 by 128 array. Each cell has a byte for star density, a separate array has dust and colour information.
At the moment I ray cast the star density table to find the intersection point, then extract colour information from the other table.
Using this approach I can move the camera to anywhere, which is what I want, but it looks crap and is slow.
I guess I can try the particle system idea, though it's going to be a lot of work since I don't have point sprites.
I'm just thinking aloud here...
My galaxy is densely packed, over 75% of the 128 by 128 cells are occupied. That's some 12288 cells, I think that's going to be too much for a particle approach.
I could easily split it down into some kind of bsp tree, but it's how to render the cells when they are at the low level of detail setting that I'm struggling with.
If I just create an atlas of 2d sprites and work out which to draw based on view direction..... maybe
How about this,
I use the dust density map to generate 16 textures in each view direction.
Create slices along the x, y, and z axes.
then I draw the 48 textures with additive blending enabled and depth buffer disabled.
but I'll need to do something about edge artifacts........ how about using the dot product between the camera and the surface normal as the alpha value for the blit.
....... hmmm
That sounds worth a try. I used something kinda like that for ground fog in one of our games and it was moderately successful. Would be interesting to see if it works better for your case.
I'm guessing you might want 1 - (1 - dot product)\\^n for some power n as the alpha value. Then by adjusting n you can get some control over how quickly the slices fade out when they get toward edge-on.
just done x and y planes at the moment, but looking promising.
Runs real time, still a lot of artifacts, but since the source is only 128 by 128 I don't expect anything else.
Damn I wish I could use shaders
Kind of looks like whip cream
.... yummie
I compressed the volume in the y plane and it looks a hell of a lot better.
I am just adding another term, it occurred to me that the dust clouds are only visible from a long way away. As you get closer the dust density is so low it disappears.
This term also serves as a switch for adding individual stars.
It's not as good as I hoped, but it runs in real time and I don't think I am going to be able to come up with anything better given the limitations.
When I get this extra term in I'll try and grab a video so we can pull it apart and come up with something better.
well I added third plane of textures, turned on additive blending, played with alpha values, looks crap.
especially when zoomed
I really want to avoid having a multi-stage display, 2d long range, 3d short range
Any ideas
Played with star density table and getting better, but some nasty artifacts showing up
Mmmm, upgraded from whip cream to a Danish sweet roll
Looks like you're getting closer to perfecting your solution. It's hard to tell from just the one photo, but the artifacts seem weird given that you disabled depth testing and are using additive blending. Maybe the texture's you're producing are not smoothed out? Using a radial gradient to fade out the texture before it reaches the borders might do the trick.
Damn... why do people talk about food when you are hungry?

No games yet, but plenty of work, for Wright, Murphy
PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. -- Just because David Wright and Daniel Murphy are not playing in Grapefruit League games, does not mean their early days in camp have been easy.
Quite the contrary, said Wright, who has spent the past few mornings participating in some of the most intensive spring workouts of his career. While their Mets teammates have busied themselves taking batting practice, shagging fly balls and scooping up grounders in preparation for daily exhibitions, Wright and Murphy have gobbled up 30-40 minutes worth of "game-speed fungoes" each day, throwing full velocity to first base instead of tossing the balls to the side.
Sunday morning, Wright batted in a simulated game against 20-year-old pitching prospect Gabriel Ynoa, who throws in the low- to mid-90s and posted a 2.72 ERA at Class A Savannah last season. He has also been working frequently on defense with third-base coach and former Mets infielder Tim Teufel. Knowing he does not need to keep anything in reserve for a game, Wright has practiced each day to the point of exhaustion.
"That's what's beneficial to me, is getting as close to game speed as I can before the actual games," he said. "In years past, it's almost like I was trying to do it on the fly. This, I think, has been really, really beneficial to me because I've gotten a chance to get really, really good work in and not have to worry about saving some in the tank for a game."
In an effort to prevent the nagging injuries that have sidelined Wright and Murphy in recent years, the Mets decided this spring to hold those two back from early Grapefruit League games. They will join their teammates on the field in mid-March.
"You can't get this type of work if it's just taking ground balls before a game, trying to get ready for the game," Wright said. "So it's been really good."

'The Lone Ranger' Review
I loved 'Rango,' the last time Johnny Depp and Gore Verbinski offered up a madcap spin on the Western. I basically enjoyed 'John Carter,' last year's Western-infused would-be space epic, which, not coincidentally, was the last time Walt Disney stock holders had to reach for a shaker of Tums.
However, 'The Lone Ranger,' this new spazzed-out Western from Depp, Verbinski and Disney, takes unusual and unlikely measures to ensure that audiences have a miserable time. There are momentary flashes of amusement, but it is jumbled, tone-deaf and uninteresting. If I wanted to be kind I'd call it dull and ephemeral, but there are long stretches that seem to strive to be annoying - almost anti-entertainment. The only thing 'The Lone Ranger' has going for it is a long life as to go-to description how not to make a blockbusters movie - this generation's 'Last Action Hero.'

"Give it a shot". Really? This is the headline you come up with for a booze that is only served in shot-form? Jägermeister seems to be a difficult client, all over the map in what they approve. My guess is that the brief contained the words "Increase trial consumption".
Breaking nationally on Monday 26th November, 'It Runs Deep' celebrates the deep and meaningful bonds experienced between true friends and brought together through Jägermeister. The ethos also links directly back to the product and its depth – the legend of St. Hubertus, the brands heritage, the alchemy of the secret ingredients, its ice cold serve and its multi layered and complex taste that all runs deep.
Shot by award winning photographer James Day, the campaign will include outdoor, print, digital and social media advertising, featuring two creatives 'Give it a Shot' and 'Deep Freeze.'
'Give it a Shot' features the distinctive Jägermeister bottle with two shot glasses set against a deep layered background of the 5 popularly known product ingredients - star anise, cardamom, cinnamon, ginger and orange peel (Jägermeister is actually created from 56), all encased in ice. Each element was shot separately in acrylic and the layers were compiled together to create a visually stunning effect.
'Deep Freeze' features the Jägermeister bottle dramatically frozen within a block of clear ice and two shot glasses set in front. The deep layered background of ingredients encased in ice remains while the strap-line reads 'Deep Freeze. Ice Cold Shot' with the 'It Runs Deep' sign off in the corner.
The campaign will be followed by a second phase early in 2013, including a TV campaign.

I saw a TV spot for this earlier today. Just a bunch of dudes in a bar doing shots...at least that's what I remember. I could be wrong. Yay for creativity. Although personally I'm not a fan of the stuff, there has to be something better to play off of. I mean, I can do shots of lots of other things. Tell me why it should be this one.
...it's cold! Wait no, that's part of your job to keep it that way. Worked for Coors tho. Worked in this poster back in Denmark so well the underwear model next door got chilly.

The team at Jägermeister seem a bit confused as to what to do post-Jäger bomb. Do people really want to drink it as a shot? Would they not already have done so already if they wanted to?!
If you're at all interested my thoughts are here: http://consumerama.wordpress.com/2012/11/26/jagermeister-jagerbombdead/
I sense a generational shift. There was Jägermeister in my friends dorm-freezer back in the 90s, and we would never do a jägerbomb, as that is an affront to decent beer (I know the young'uns today do it with energy drinks). The frozen positioning is at least twenty years old.

Duke men's basketball signs two Top-50 prospects
Posted November 21, 2012
Durham, N.C. — The Duke men's basketball team received national letters of intent from two top-50 prospects with the signing of shooting guard Matt Jones and small forward Semi Ojeleye, head coach Mike Krzyzewski announced on Wednesday.
"We are excited about the additions of Matt [Jones] and Semi [Ojeleye]," said Krzyzewski. "Both of them are very good shooters and skilled players that will fit into the Duke system and culture very well. They have bright futures in our program, and we look forward to watching them develop on and off the court."
Jones, a 6-4, 180-pound guard from DeSoto High School in DeSoto, Texas, is ranked as the No. 8 shooting guard in the country by ESPN, the No. 10 shooting guard by Rivals.com and No. 7 shooting guard by Scout.com. Overall, ESPN ranks him as the No. 36 overall prospect, Rivals.com ranks him 35th overall, and Scout.com ranks him 30th overall.
Jones plays for Texas powerhouse DeSoto, which enters the 2012-13 season ranked No. 2 in the Texas Coaches 5A Preseason Rankings. As a junior, Jones averaged 19.4 points, 2.3 rebounds and 1.6 steals per game. With Jones leading the way, DeSoto has strung together three consecutive 30-win seasons, including a 33-6 record in 2011-12 and an appearance in the Region 2 Final. Jones also played for the Texas Titans and averaged a team-high 17.0 points per game to lead the group to a 15-5 record in the Nike Elite Youth Basketball League and qualify for the Nike Peach Jam. Jones is the younger brother of Jordan Jones, a McDonald's All-American who is a freshman guard on the Texas A&M women's basketball team.
Ojeleye, a 6-6, 220-pound product of Ottawa High School in Ottawa, Kansas, is ranked as the No. 10 small forward in the class of 2013 by ESPN and No. 8 at his position by both Rivals.com and Scout.com. Overall, he is the No. 41 prospect in ESPN's ranking, No. 30 by Rivals.com and No. 25 by Scout.com.
With Ojeleye leading the way, Ottawa reached the Kansas 4A State Championship game last season and got 32 points from Ojeleye in a 56-52 loss to Basehor-Linwood. Ojeleye averaged 32.5 points per game as a junior while playing all five positions for Ottawa. Ojeleye also played for MoKan Elite, leading the team to the U17 Kansas City Classic title and an appearance in the semifinals of the Nike Elite Youth Basketball Peach Jam. Ojeleye's older brother, Victor, played for Kansas State from 2008-12 and was a team captain.

Book Discussion - Angels in America, Part Two: Perestroika
Thursday, November 08, 2012
Where and When
Time: 7:30pm - 9:00pm
Location: Rollins Center Quiet Study Room
Contact: email@example.com
Event Information
Angels in America, Part Two: Perestroika by Tony Kushner
From Library Journal:
The same masterful writing that won Kushner the 1993 Pulitzer Prize for Drama for Millenneum Approaches (Part 1 of Angels, Theatre Communications Grp., 1993) is carried forward here. Capable of being understood as a self-contained play, Perestroika continues from the final scene of Millenneum, wherein an angel had crashed through the ceiling of young Prior's apartment. One is shocked, moved, touched, and saddened yet ultimately uplifted by this delightful story involving the angel, Prior, and six other mortal characters. Kushner uses his humor and wit to show the harshness, fear, and sadness that surrounds anyone touched by AIDS. Prior's closing statement, spoken to the audience, speaks for this play as well: "This disease will be the end of many of us, but not nearly all, and the dead will be commemorated and will struggle on with the living, and we are not going away. We won't die secret deaths anymore. The world only spins forward. We will be citizens. The time has come. Bye now. You are fabulous creatures, each and every one." Essential for contemporary drama collections. H. Robert Malinowsky, Univ. of Illinois, Chicago Copyright 1994 Reed Business Information, Inc.

Bacon & Karr(See Also 'Bacon & Raven' and 'Francis Bacon') Bacon & Raven (also listed as Raven & Bacon) was part of one of the oldest and most historical American piano manufacturers. Originally started by the famous business tycoon John Jacob Astor along with piano makers Robert Stodart and William Dubois in 1789, the firm was originally known as Dubois & Stodart until 1836. In 1836, Stodart retired and Francis Bacon joined the firm. In 1841, Dubois left the firm and Bacon was joined by brothers Richard & Thomas Raven, and the firm's name was changed to Bacon & Raven. After the death of George Bacon in 1855, his son Francis Bacon joined the firm and the name of the firm was changed to Raven, Bacon & Company. In 1862 the name of the firm was again changed to simply 'Raven & Bacon'. In 1872, Richard M. Raven died and the firm was taken over by Thomas Raven at which time the name of the firm was changed to Raven & Company. In 1878, Thomas Raven left the firm and the name of the company was changed to 'Raven Piano Works'. Raven Piano Works was out of business before 1890. In 1871, William H. Karr went into partnership with Francis Bacon and established the firm of 'Bacon & Karr'. In 1904, the firm was incorporated as the Francis Bacon Piano Company. Francis Bacon continued building pianos with great success until the 1920's era when the firm was absorbed into industrial giant Kohler & Campbell. Kohler & Campbell continued building the Francis Bacon name until 1934.

Are you seeing increased ridership in 2013?
The decision was a win for disability rights activists who pressed WMATA officials to avoid companies such as Uber, because they lack vehicles with wheelchair-ramps and have been sued for alleged violations of the Americans with Disabilities Act.
The agency was able to send five vehicles for the transport of 10 wheelchair passengers from a medical facility in Corpus Christi, Texas to a shelter in San Antonio. They are also offering free passes and travel training to those people that are in shelters in Austin.
Transdev operations are scheduled to begin Oct. 1 for the Access-a-Ride program, serving Adams, Arapahoe, Boulder, Broomfield, Denver, Douglas, and Jefferson counties in the Denver Metro region.
According to a study, low-income workers who commuted by car had 30 times the access to jobs than those who took public transit. The advent of ridesharing and bikesharing could close the gap.
Wheelchair-using passengers simply push a button to engage the system's automatic locking sequence. Quantum's arms move into position and secure the passenger's mobility device by gripping its wheels. The system continues to adjust its grip as needed during the bus ride.

Second 'seclusion cell' bill awaits governor's signature
BEAVERTON, Ore. - The Oregon Senate has unanimously passed a second bill addressing the use of so-called 'seclusion cells' in public schools.
Last month, lawmakers passed a bill banning free standing seclusion cells and this second bill, which is awaiting the governor's signature, will basically make the ban permanent.
We've been tracking one family's situation in Beaverton and contacted her to see if any progress has been made at her son's school.
Martha LaMarche said she was floored when she learned that her autistic son, who doesn't really speak, had been put in a seclusion cell at his school more than 20 times without her knowledge.
Staff members at the boy's school, Greenway Elementary, said he was biting, scratching and hitting teachers but LaMarche said she never signed off on her son being put into a room all by himself.
LaMarche wrote the school district three weeks ago and demanded that her son not be placed in the room. At the time, the school district's special education director told KATU they had no plans to stop using the room and if a parent was adamant about the issue, they should look for a different school. The school district has 16 seclusion cells throughout its schools.
Although we have not heard back from the Beaverton School District about LaMarche's concerns, the Beaverton mom did tell us that changes are happening.
"The district has been really responsive in our request," LaMarche said. "Things are happening at a rapid pace, which we're really happy with. We're getting behavior plans created, speech plans created and I feel much better about the situation."
LaMarche said at the very least these types of rooms should have padded walls since there are kids, like her son, who are known to bang their heads against walls and floors as a result of their condition.

The Quality is superb. I would have no hesitation in recommending Everything Branded as a supplier of mugs. Thank you Inga Unison Integrated Technology Ltd

A great customer support, help and advice.
Dealt with Ross Anderton and he quickly dealt with my enquiry and organised proofs. Delivery was quicker then expected and the Umbrellas I ordered were really good quality
Excellent service from Ross Anderton. Thank you for sorting so quickly.
I worked with a guy called Ross who was extremely helpful and efficient. I drove him mad with several changes to what we wanted but he always pulled it out the bag. The finished product was great quality and we will be ordering more branded items from Everything Branded.
Very impressed. It was the only company who would do me an order at such late notice, Malaki helped me to get the order in within the day and made sure the delivery was on time. We are very impressed with the quality of the pens and they were at a good price.
Jiten did a great job of rushing through our job and staying in touch.
Everything Branded were fantastic in helping me get promotional items for a recent event! Ramsey Gill was particularly helpful in ensuring that we had everything in hand to meet our delivery date and I would like to thank him for his excellent customer service and time keeping skills, without him we wouldn't have got the items in time. When the items arrived, they were of a very high standard, myself and the rest of the team were so impressed!!! Thank you to everyone and I would definitely use Everything Branded again in the future - I would also recommend you to anyone looking for promotional items!
do what they say they will good experience
Maddie Wheway and her colleague Jai were extremely helpful when I was ordering some marketing items for my company. Proofs were provided and edited in a timely manner and the final product was received in a short turn-around as promised (ready for a specific event). I will work with them again.
My contact James Dean always responds very quickly, their prices are good and deliveries are always spot on too.
i received my order on friday all fine and was managed well by Maddie, would recommend.
Good customer service
James made the ordering process easy and was very helpful with any queries i had.
very cheap price so worried about quality - needn't have, they are brilliant. Will definitely be back. Customer service was brilliant, thank you to Toyan for quick turnaround and excellent communication
We were delayed receiving artwork for Hand Flags we ordered which left us outside the time frame of when the could be here on time in which we needed them for an important event we had coming. Luckily with the help of Amy Evans, she managed to quickly sort this out for us and have them arrive on the morning of the event. First class service.
Fantastic customer service - very helpful - goods delivered in an amazing short space of time.
Malaki provided excellent customer service in relation to my order. I have recently opened a new business and needed urgent stationary with branding. Malaki was very knowledgeable on the products on offer and provided guidance on the type of stationary I needed. He also called me a few days after I had placed the order, to keep me updated on the progress of the delivery which I thought was excellent! Malaki is an asset to the company and will be speaking to him again on future orders! Regards Mr Amer Saleem
I inquired for some new mugs for my company and was put in touch with Jiten Kukadia as my account manager. I had fantastic service, was always quick to reply and answered all my questions promptly and precisely. Would not hesitate to use again!
Really helpful team (especially Amy) and a great product delivered on time!
Ross Anderton @ Everything Branded is great, he ensured that our order was swiftly put into production and delivered just shy of our annual trade show. Great communication, brilliant quality products & Service.
We have ordered a few things from Everything Branded now. Not every order was straight-forward given that we had some issues with branded mugs, but I cannot fault the customer service. Jai Chavda couldn't have been more helpful in ensuring we remain a satisfied client. Nothing is too much trouble for Jai and he was always very prompt with his responses. I wouldn't hesitate to use Everything Branded again.
Amy Evans very good with our order
speedy and efficient service as always - thanks James Dean
I spoke with Malaki and explained I needed an order with a tight turnaround time. He got straight to work, proofs over to me very quickly, order organised and delivered on time. Thank you Malaki. Great service.
We love our mugs and a great speedy service, many thanks Everything Branded!
I needed some branded pens in a hurry and the account manager, Jiten Kukadia, did everything he could to get them to us on time - and they did. The quality of the pens and reproduction of the artwork was good. I'd use them again.
Didn't get off the a good start with Everything Branded because of inaccurate prices on their website, however once I carried on discussions with Jiten I placed an order and everything met or exceeded my expectations.
First class service and very quick reply when details requested
Amy was particularly accommodating as we had a very short turn around and you guys worked very quickly to get our products out to us when we needed them.
Delivered what I wanted at a reasonable price, when I wanted it
James is on the ball straight away - great service!
Amy was so good at helping us! We were on such a tight deadline and she managed to get all our goods to us in record breaking time.
Quick, friendly, helpful! Thanks so much Ross.
I contact Everything Branded and spoke to a guy called Ross, I had a urgent job which needed to be completed asap. Ross helped me source the product, quoted me an unbeatable price and had them delivered before noon the next day! couldn't be more happy, Thank you

Our account Manager, Malaki was very professional - there was a very quick turnaround between placing the order and delivery - he achieved the delivery date. The website was not so good - the prices were wrong and the item we bought was not exactly as shown

A TRADITIONAL bank holiday trip to Clacton is a "pipe dream" for one in five families, according to a leading children's charity.
Official statistics uncovered by Barnardo's suggest the poorest families in the UK bring in less than £423 per week and that after deducting basic living costs, disposable income for the least welloff could be as little as £39.
But hoteliers have hit back, claiming the cost of coming to Clacton is dwarfed by what it would cost to take the family abroad for a week.
Read the full story in the Clacton Gazette, out now.

COLUMBUS -- The first week of October was a tough time for Ohio State's Brandon Saine.
Not only was the productivity of Saine, a senior running back, sagging, but so was his confidence.
After opening his season with a stellar game against Marshall, in which the senior captain from Piqua ran for 103 yards and scored two touchdowns in a 45-7 victory, Saine completely fell off the radar.
Over the next four games, Saine had 35 carries for 80 yards.
And his confidence was shot.
"I had a couple of games there where I had horrible yards per carry," Saine said. "One thing leads to another and you start thinking things. You might to start to think too much during the game."
It wasn't supposed to be like that. Not after Saine ran for 739 yards and four touchdowns and caught 17 passes en route to being named second team All-Big Ten in 2009.
Saine's senior year was supposed to upstage that. And here he was struggling with his confidence.
Enter running backs coach Doc Tressel, who invigorated Saine with a little chat.
After seeing Saine struggle through four dismal games against Ohio, Miami, Eastern Michigan and Illinois, the brother of OSU head coach Jim Tressel sat down with Saine and reaffirmed his confidence in him.
And while the primary running chores were shifted more in favor of junior Dan Herron, Saine's role in the Ohio State offense was tinkered with a little to make him more effective.
The early returns are good. In a 38-10 win over Indiana, Saine did not carry the ball, but he caught four passes for 84 yards and a touchdown. In a 49-0 win over Purdue, he caught one pass and also carried the ball five times for 41 yards.
As the Buckeyes enter the critical part of their schedule, with games against Minnesota, Penn State, Iowa and Michigan, they have a rejuvenated senior running back on their hands.
"I sat down and talked with Doc," Saine said, "and we just talked about ways to build my confidence and get me to stop thinking when I'm out there and just be able to go out there and play.
"It was good to talk to a mentor and see what they were thinking."
Jim Tressel and his staff have never strayed from their insistence that Saine is an integral part of the Ohio State offense, even when Saine's productivity suggested otherwise.
It might have taken a while, but the Buckeyes seem to have found Saine's niche -- getting him into space. His biggest gainers last week were on a reverse and a pitch sweep, which is in contrast to early in the year when Saine spent more time running between the tackles.
His ability to either come out of the backfield on passing routes or line up in the slot has proven to be invaluable, too. When he does motion out of the backfield or line up in the slot, it often times puts a linebacker or safety across from Saine, which is to the advantage of both Saine and the Buckeyes.
"To be versatile is to be a running back," Saine said.
Versatile -- and dangerous -- he still is.
"Anytime I can get in a game, I can stretch the defense and create a mismatch," Saine said. "That's fun to be able to come into a game and see the defense make adjustments just because I'm in the game."
There are few bigger fans of Saine than his teammates. Through the tough times and the games of low productivity, Saine never complained when more carries were shifted to Herron, and he never hung his head when he was on the sideline more often than he had in the past.
He also joined Ohio State's struggling kick coverage team.
"That's the type of guy Brandon Saine is," senior offensive tackle and fellow captain Bryant Browning said. "It's all about team. It's always team first. He's a leader on and off the field. No matter what he is doing, he is doing it with class and doing it the right way."
A productive Saine down the stretch would benefit the Buckeyes. In the final three games last year, he had 260 yards on 43 carries (six per carry) with three touchdowns in wins over Penn State, Iowa and Michigan.
He might not have those exact numbers this year, but if he doesn't, it won't be for lack of confidence. That has been restored both by his recent productivity, but more so by a chat with his coaching staff.
"Definitely," Saine said. "To see they still have confidence in me and are not just going to set me aside and see what's next helps a lot."

The kamma-result (vipāka) is normally explained as 3 kinds:
1. kamma ripening during the life-time (dittha-dhamma-vedanīya kamma);
2. kamma ripening in the next birth (upapajja-vedanīya-kamma);
3. kamma ripening in later births (aparāpariya-vedanīya-kamma).
The Visuddhimagga also adds a fourth type, called ahosi-kamma (ineffective, lit. "what has passed already").
In this article the author suggests that this might be a misunderstanding of a Sutta passage, and in fact there are only 2 types of vipaka:
