Phoenix FC is going through major changes in just the fifth month of its inaugural season in the USL PRO professional soccer league.
The club is already on its second president and has decided earlier this week to remove the 2,550 or so extra seats it erected at Sun Devil Soccer Stadium. But the changes that mean most to Phoenix FC players were those made to the roster.
Phoenix FC (2-10-6) has recently shipped out two players. Pair those moves with recent injuries to usual starters, and starting positions have been up for grabs. The team's rookies have jumped on them.
Players like Josh Bento, Peabo Doue, Sheldon Parkinson, Tommy Ramos and Reid Schmitt have received starts over the past few matches.
"I think it's going to help the team because we're hungry and we want to show the coach that we can be in the lineup every week and every game," said Ramos, a Phoenix Pinnacle High alumnus. "We're all just going to run and run until we can't move anymore."
Phoenix FC needs that kind effort and determination after finding itself 12th in the 13-team league standings and 11 points down for the last postseason spot with just eight matches left in the season.
Phoenix FC didn't earn a win in all of May or June, a span of 13 matches. That may change Saturday night when it hosts winless Antigua Barracuda FC at Sun Devil Soccer Stadium.
Antigua (0-16) has scored just eight goals this season, while allowing 60.
Phoenix FC could even earn its first winning streak; it will host Antigua, which decided to play all of its matches this season on the road, again on July 11 at Grand Canyon University.
"We definitely feel we need to get wins," Ramos said. "This is the time when we need to start winning. Ties aren't going to be enough anymore. If we want to push to make the playoffs, we need to get better results here at the end of the year, which we can definitely do. We have a favorable draw the rest of the season. We have games we should win if we just work hard."
Two wins could help distract what's been going on off the field. In what could be seen as cost-cutting moves, Phoenix FC recently loaned starting defender Renan Felipe Boufleur to fellow USL PRO club Orlando City and released forward Aaron King, who played 15 matches with 10 starts.
Removing the extra seating structures at its home stadium could be another attempt to cut costs.
Phoenix FC has been averaging 2,209 in home attendance, but the seating capacity has been reduced from 3,600 to Sun Devil Soccer Stadium's original 1,051 (though the club is also selling standing-room-only tickets).

Laugh Now, Cry Later is an Ice Cube album that was released on June 6, 2006 on his record label Da Lench Mob Records. He is currently touring to promote the album. Ice Cube said in an interview that he was attempting to give the album an 'old school' sound, like his first two solo albums (AmeriKKKa's Most Wanted and Death Certificate). The album will feature a few songs with West Coast hip hop rapper Snoop Dogg, as well as WC and Lil Jon. The album will not feature any production from Dr. Dre as previously thought. However, Ice Cube hasn't ruled out Dr. Dre in any other future projects, including another N.W.A. album. The album contains 20 tracks, with the street single and accompanying video "Chrome & Paint" already released. The first official single is the Scott Storch produced "Why We Thugs."

Promoting Corporate Governance in Pakistan. (Partnerships)
Mahmood, Shahnawaz, UN Chronicle
During the past few years, the financial and corporate world has witnessed significant changes. Following the Asian financial crisis, recent accounting scandals have brought to light the importance of an effective institutional framework that would help corporate management increase shareholder value while protecting the interests of other stakeholders.
To achieve this goal, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) of Pakistan (www.secp.gov.pk), in partnership with the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) and the Economic Affairs Division of the Government of Pakistan, launched the SEC-UNDP Project on Corporate Governance in August 2002. Under the purview of the Project, UNDP has provided technical and financial assistance to the SEC for developing and implementing good corporate governance practices and establishing a sound regulatory framework for the corporate sector in the country. The work involves implementation of the Code of Corporate Governance, issued by the SEC in March 2002, creating stakeholder awareness, capacity-building and networking with other emerging markets.
In order to attract sustainable capital, it is imperative for economies in transition to focus on evolving a system that ensures good corporate governance. As the dust settles after the Asian financial crisis, most economic and development commentators feel that a major determinant of the relationship between long-term economic growth and poverty reduction is a well-functioning financial and corporate sector. The inflow of foreign capital brings with it a transfer of technology and managerial skills--factors crucial to the developing countries in their economic progress. At the same time, the confidence of local investors also heightens. This increased economic activity improves human welfare in the form of an efficient allocation of resources and more employment. Therefore, implementing good governance practices has a positive impact on economic growth, which creates opportunities and brings people above the poverty line.
The SEC-UNDP Project aims to make a positive contribution towards economic growth in Pakistan by developing a stronger financial and corporate sector. A Corporate Governance Cell has been established at the SEC. which acts as a resource centre and carries out research and awareness campaigns on various issues related to corporate governance.
Guidelines and newsletters are also being distributed to the corporate community for a better understanding of the issue, and research is being carried out for the harmonization of the provisions of the Code with corporate laws and an assessment of the state of corporate governance.
The Cell also aims to prepare groundwork for the establishment of an institute of corporate governance. …

My name is XXXXX XXXXX live in Washington DC. I am a person with a Mental Illness and I am being harrassed by DC Police, on two occasions Capital Hill Police, DC Jail Officers that mased and beat me daily and breaking my ribs, one beating they recorded. This attact was in The Washington Post back in 1999; As a result of the article I won a lawsuit against DC Jail. I was suppose to get over $700,000 for the beatings, but I only got $24,000. The Lawyer that filed the suit was John xxxx a friend of my Public Defender Patrick xxxxx. Mr. xxxxx forced me to take the DC jails offer because if I did not he was dropping my case. The US Marshals mased and beat me on more the one occasion, and CSOSA who gave wrong information in Court Documents. I have contacted the Congrass Woman for DC, Nation Action Network, 7 on your side, Fox 5 tips, Citizen Complaints of DC, The Washington Field Office of the FBI, and a number of Attorneys. The only organization that has started one investigation is The Office of Police Complaints in DC but I have made many valid complaints against Officers that never reached the Office of Police Complaints because one Complaint include the presentof DC Cheif of Police Kathy xxxx. On DC Police Officer has giving me over 15 tickets causing my Drivers lisense to be suspended. I did recieve an e-mail from DC Police Internal Affairs clearing one Officer that accussed me of Child Sex Crimes in front of my Masonic Lodge that made me unable to enter my Lodge to which my Lodge was paid in full. I never have or never will harm children and no such charge is on my criminal record. That Police Officer defamed and destroyed my character with that vicious lie. Also that of revealed some of my Protected Health Infomation violating HIPPA. There has been many times I would be in public and Police Officers would yell out "Mark you take your Medication today". If HIPPA applys to this my rights has been violated. DC Police has stolen my property and DC Jail Officers has stolen my Property. My birth name is XXXXX XXXXX and on my criminal record has me as Mark xxxx. I never in my life used Mark S.xxxxx for nothing. I made complaints with the Department of Justice against Prosucutor Attorney Colleen xxxxxx for her not giving me fair treatment in court and Attorney Kenneth xxxxxx for him telling me to plead guilty after I paid him $5,000 to defend me. Later I found out that he was an Attorney for Patients at St. Elizabeth Hospital and He and Prosucutor Kennedy were working against me. I fired him and did not get a refund because he did no work. So I retained another Attorney and got Aquitted. Please Help Me !!!!

We're not on National TV are we?
Exaggeration is a BILLION times worse than understating.
It's been talked about. I think we're mostly less than favorable about the start time.

I'm not too thrilled about it if the time is just for the heck of it.
I assumed there was a reason, but I don't see anything on the schedule that would conflict with it.
It's something new they're trying this year. The plan is to get us used to playing Colorado at 8pm central time, so that when we go out there it feels normal to us, since we can't seem to win at CU, no matter how bad they are.
That, or because Pollard hates us. If Monty weren't on vacation, he'd agree.
We want to help with Colorado's schedule and travel plans like with K-State in football
Maybe they were trying to avoid playing the same time as OU/NU (which was also going to be on ABC), but now that game has been delayed till 7pm for weather...
Why not?
Because Pollard sucks and is out to ruin all things good about everything that is good in the world
"Blamo"! The new CF approved swear word.

Abstract The study attempts to show that using the neural network predictive control (NNPC) structure for control of thermal processes can lead to energy savings. The advantage of the NNPC is that it is not a linear-model-based strategy and the control input constraints are directly included into the synthesis. In the designed approach, the neural network is used as a nonlinear process model to predict the future behaviour of the controlled process with distributed parameters. The predictive control strategy is used to calculate optimal control inputs. The efficiency of the described control approach is verified by simulation experiments and a tubular heat exchanger is chosen as a controlled process. The control objective is to keep the temperature of the heated outlet stream at a desired value and minimize the energy consumption. The NNPC of the heat exchanger is compared with classical PID control. Comparison of the simulation results obtained using NNPC and those obtained by classical PID control demonstrates the effectiveness and superiority of the NNPC because of smaller consumption of heating medium.

The Icelandic government, two Icelandic municipal authorities and the EFLA engineering company signed a memorandum of understanding to promote the creation of a new port in the northeast corner of Iceland.
SSA Marine's Oakland International Container Terminal will make appointments mandatory for the majority of containerized import pick-ups in order to shorten lines at terminal gates and speed up cargo delivery to customers.
The company plans to accept the weights that clients provide as certified, but if clients are not able to provide the certified weight, it will weigh the cargo on their behalf.
Registration takes less than 1 minute.
The Water Resources Development Act reauthorization includes provisions sought by the nation's port authorities related to how harbor deepening projects are funded, getting more money for maintenance dredging in the pipeline and authorizing new projects.
The locks are scheduled to undergo a technological upgrade this summer to replace a half-century-old master control system that opens and closes the waterway passage.
With only 10 weeks to go until the container weight verification rule goes into effect globally, surveys show shippers and LSPs are still mostly unprepared to comply.

|Usual Robinie
|Scientific name
|Robinia pseudoacacia
The usual Robinie (Robinia pseudoacacia), also wrong acacia, illusory acacia or silver rain mentioned, is a tree from that the (Faboideae) in that the (Fabaceae). With to the (Mimosoideae) belonging acacias the Robinie is not particularly close related, even if it has the pinnated sheets outwardly together with these as well as thorns. Since the tree originates from North America, meanwhile the Robinie occurring also wildly in Europe is considered as Neophyt.
Carl von who described the kind of the Robinien (Robinia) for the first time scientifically, designated these after Jean Robin, the yard gardner of the French kings Heinrich IV. and Ludwig XIII., or after its son, who was likewise a yard gardner.
The scientific kind name pseudoacacia refers to (misleading) the similarity with the acacias. The occasional use of the name silver rain is to be due to the white bloom conditions of the tree.
The usual Robinie is a summer-greener tree with more roundish or loosely screen-like crown, which a height of 20 to 25 meters can reach. The bark of the trunk is grey-brown to dark-brown, deeply gefurcht and frequently net industrial union lengthwise cracked. The branches stand turned at a short trunk, which is inclined to the training of a double crown. The tree is to a large extent winter frost hard.
The tree itself only very late in the spring. The change-constant and unmatched pinnated reach a length of up to 30 centimeters. They consist of in each case 9 to 19 egg-shaped single lamellas, which can fold themselves by small joints with large heat perpendicularly downward.
While the bloom condition range and the crown are usually without thorns, the are particularly reshuffled to, red-brown colored thorns long to 3 cm at the
The blooms of the tree appear in the months May to June. In each case 10 to 25 of the strongly smelling blooms hangs in grapes/clusters long between 10 and 25 centimeters on the recent impulses. The blooms, which are botanisch seen butterfly blooms, offer plentifully Nektar and therefore by many insects are visited. Nektar and Staubbeutel become at the same time ripe. If an insect sits down on the bloom, first the scar steps out, which brushes possibly bring along Pollen off of the belly.
After dusting the blooms laterally strongly flattened cases are formed. They are red-brown, briefly gestielt, about five to ten centimeters long and a centimeter wide. Their covering is pergament lederig.
In the recessing of the cases about four to twelve these seeds, which developed in September, lie are six to seven millimeters long, brown, smoothly and very hardshelled. It surrounding case tears gradually during the winter along the moving as well as the belly seam up. Since the fruits remain hanging every now and then into the next spring on the tree, the usual Robinie ranks among the so-called Winterstehern.
The usual Robinie spreads its seed by the wind (so-called Anemochorie). The propagation distance, which the seeds of the plant can overcome in this way, is relatively small because of their high weight. The seeds are spread only rarely over a further distance than 100 meters.
The Robinie over two mechanisms compensates this disadvantage. The tree species flowers and fruchtet already in the sixth Lebensjahr, and their seeds are for a very long time germable. The duration of the germ ability becomes years estimated on up to 30. For germinating the plants need however very much sunlight. These characteristics cause the pioneer ability of the Robinie. On the basis of already existing seed trees the Robinie is very fast in a the position to bewachsen new open locations; the kind is inclined very strongly to the Verwildern.
In addition the Robinie is able to increase by root from runners vegetativy. This also as "klonales growth "designated spreading is favoured, if it comes to location disturbances as for instance fires or Rodungen. The usual Robinie reacts to it with intensified training of root rungs, which leads in the long run to a compression of existence already existing; other kinds are displaced thereby.
The usual Robinie is a tree, which is originally in the Atlantic North America resident and in the area of the Appalachen as well as the US Federal States Pennsylvania, Missouri, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Indiana and Oklahoma was common. It grows there as pioneer plant in leaves mixed woodlands on moderately nutrient-rich sand and loamy soils at heights up to 1600 meters of NN. Their natural circulation area is characterised by a humid climate with annual precipitation between 1020 and 1830 millimeters.
As the investigations quoted by Kowarik show, the usual Robinie is in its original circulation area a tree, which introduces the forest regeneration after "catastrophic "disturbances as for instance a Waldbrand or eradications. The again settled area is dominated for approximately 20 to 30 years by this tree species, which is then displaced by other tree species as for instance the tulip tree. The tree species, which are able to displace the usual Robinie at their location are characterised usually by the fact that they grow more highly than the Robinie and very strongly shade donates. In forest stands of the Appalachen, which could develop for a long time unimpaired, the portion of the Robinie amounts to less than 4 per cent.
The undemanding Robinie was spread by humans in numerous areas, which do not belong to their original spreading area. It is thereby a so-called hemerochore plant and counts due to its introduction after 1492 in Europe to the Neophyten. It is today in Europe, North Africa, to find west and Eastern Asia. Also in North America it extended its circulation area on the basis of cultivations both spatially and standortlich substantially. Both in Europe and in the again settled North American circulation areas it grows on locations, as which are substantially drier in their original circulation area.
To Europe it was introduced between 1623 and 1635 by Jean Robin von Virginia to Paris. Due to its attractive blooms and its pinnated sheets it was cultivated first as exotic ornamental shrub in parks. 1640 arrived it to England, and first proofs for a cultivation in Germany are present for the year 1670, where one cultivated them in the citizen of Berlin desire garden. 1726 one could do it in Italy.
In the course 18. Century began one increasingly to see in this tree a kind interesting for forestry with which one hoped to be able to cover the increasing wood need. Two characteristics favoured their rapid spreading: The Robinie makes only small demands against the soil and is thereby a suitable tree species for the reforestation of forests destroyed by excessive use, and it is a plant, which prevents a further soil erosion. It is therefore used for Aufpflanzungen in sand areas until today.
The usual Robinie is cultivated today purposefully on a broad location spectrum. To a stronger natural spreading it comes thereby particularly in the areas, which are climatically particularly favoured, since the tree is dependent for seed training on high heat sums in the vegetation period. In these areas it spreads, on the basis of cultivations, along edges of forest and traffic routes on fallow lands as well as urbanindustriellen locations. It penetrates also into locations such as sand drying and lime lean lawns and displaces the kinds growing there.
The usual Robinie spread after the Second World War in addition on rubble debris surfaces strongly. It led the destruction and the following care lacking of many properties to the fact that in cities as for instance Leipzig, Berlin, Stuttgart and Cologne spacious surfaces developed, which bewachsen with Robinien are.

How do I sing with a 'rasp'?
Howdy, so I've been singing for two years now, professionally that is. But something that I always wanted to do is sing with a rasp, and I don't mean screeching or growling, I mean the type of rasp like James Hetfield, I've looked up a ton of videos on it, but with very little results...The closest I've got to singing with a rasp was lowering the 'growls' of Death Metal growling, but to be honest, that doesn't sound too good.
Thanks in advance!

In my opinion, the only guys who sing good with that kind of rasp are the people who naturally have it.

Thats the fun thing about opinions. Everybodies got one.
On topic, everyone can learn rasp. How it sounds is subjective certainly. You need to have good control of cord closure first. If you've never had lessons, get them first. Sustainable rasp is a high level technique so a proper foundation is an absolute must.
Edit: You are going to need good support. You will not use alot of air. To create the vocal, you will need to inhale down through your diaphragm and fill some of your chest area too. When you go to use the rasp, you will control your breath mostly from your costal (chest) muscles but keep the diaphragm out. Think of it as your gas tank and your chest as the accelerator.
You will get the tonality of the rasp by making a muffler sound and going, "heeeyyyy." As long as it doesn't hurt and you have a basic rasp (no matter how crappy), you are probably on to the right idea. After that it's just experimenting with amount of distortion and resonance to get a pleasing sound.
Note: It takes next to no rasp for the listener to pick up, so make sure you don't add too much. Too much rasp comes across constipated. It'ls like making a really good soup. A lot of body (support), with a good amount of resonance harmonics (chest and head) and just a pinch of spice (rasp) make for a delicious meal. But when something is out of balance it can be disastrous for both tone and performance.
Good luck. If you wish I can work up a tutorial for you. For now, take a listen to the tutorials on my sound cloud:
It should help you get the basic idea of rasp. Even the false cord ones should be helpful.
EDIT 2: If you are singing professionally you should have recordings. Can you share some so we can judge where you are at?
Final edit: This stuff takes loads of time to get ahold of and get stable. Like years. So be prepared for a long frustrated road. Of course some folks get it instantly, and having a great teacher helps, but most people have a hard time with this skill (especially those who are naturally quiet).

Three lists the Asus Vivo Tab RT with Windows 8
Likely to arrive early next month
NUMERICAL MOBILE NETWORK Three has listed the Windows 8 powered Asus Vivo Tab RT ahead of Microsoft's launch in two weeks.
Following in the footsteps of US network AT&T, Three has added the Asus Vivo Tab RT Windows 8 tablet to its lineup, although it hasn't given any details on its pricing or release date yet. However, we suspect that the tablet will fetch around £400 SIM free and will arrive in early November.
Announced back in August, the Asus Vivo Tab RT is a 10.1in Windows 8 tablet that boasts a 1366x768 Super IPS display. The upcoming tablet also features 2GB of RAM, an Nvidia 1.3GHz quad-core Tegra 3 processor, dual cameras and support for 4G LTE, which Three's customers won't be able to take advantage of yet.
It also comes with an optional keyboard, turning the device into a tablet/laptop hybrid similar to the Android powered Asus Transformer Pad Infinity.
"The Asus Vivo Tab RT is a great partner for tablet users who want to work and play on the go," explains Three.
"Supplied with Windows RT, the Windows 8 apps, games and movies will look incredible on the Vivo Tab RT's 10.1 [inch] display and the quad-core processor combined with Office 2013 means multi-tasking is a breeze."

[LAST UPDATED 12/9/10 at 11:14 PM]
You might not tie the Victorian Era and Christmas together - but in Thomasville, Georgia, it's a way of life.
Says Michelle McDonald, a Victorian era clothing enthusiast,
"I think there was a wonderful air at the time and we're just keeping the history alive ... you have an incredible collection of history here."
The annual December celebration, Victorian Christmas, is not only a tribute to the upcoming holidays, but also a nod to the town's rich and historic past.
Karen Smith is Thomasville's Main Street Director and says it's "part of [the] history and heritage. [Thomasville] was founded in the late 1800s and you'll find a lot of Victorian architecture in our downtown and, you know, it's just to celebrate where we came from."
The 2-day event welcomes people from all over north Florida and south Georgia who are interested to see what the little town has to offer.
While many wear modern-day jeans and jackets, some especially enthusiastic participants literally wear history on their sleeve.
"We love to dress in costume and that's really a big part of the event - folks love to come out and see everybody dressed up and strolling up and down the streets," Smith continues.
From the cheerily-lit streets, to the walking history and live musicians - Thomasvillle's Victorian Christmas is an event that's sure to please curious guests and history lovers for years to come.
Thomasville, GA - 'Twas the night of Victorian Christmas and all through downtown, businesses were getting ready, and women were picking out their gowns.
Felicia Brannen, Downtown Special Events Coordinator, says, "My favorite part about Victorian Christmas is the costumes and we have so many in red, green, brown."
A tradition for 24 years...family and friends journey back to a *simple* time of carriages and cheers
Karen Smith, Downtown Main Street Director, says, "We try to do things you would have found in the VIctorian era- street theater, a lot of people singing out on the street, and of course St. Nick."
There are so many things to do from shopping to dancing, caroling and eating....just take your pick.
"You get a glimpse of days gone by and I think that's what makes it so important and popular for us."
The town was born in the Victorian era and now people from all over the country celebrate the holiday season- 1890's style- with no fuss.
Ephraim Rotter, Museum Curator, says, "In a world in which things constantly change and there's nothing really to be done about that, it's important to keep roots with who you are and where you come from."
Officials say it's an event that celebrates the past and plays a major role in what Thomasville has become.
For two days, the Rose City takes you to a Christmas past, making sure special holiday moments are made... and memories that last.
The festival lasts until 10 tonight (12-9) and picks up again tomorrow from 6pm to 10pm.

Diagnosis of Non Hodgkins Lymphoma (NHL)
Non Hodgkins lymphoma patients have no classical symptoms. The disease is usually detected when the patient is tested in response to non-specific complaints.
Once abnormalty in blood test is detected further tests are carried out on the patient to delve into the complaints. The following methods help to come to a conclusive diagnosis.
Getting a proper medical history from the patient
Recording the presenting symptoms in detail
A thorough physical examination.
Blood tests are carried out for various parameters like blood cell count, sedimentation rate and blood biochemistry
A chest X-ray.
A CT scan or an MRI scan involving the chest, abdominal and pelvic region helps to identify the spread of the disease
A gallium scan or a Positron Emission Tomography (PET) scan helps in studying and identifying the disease
A bone marrow aspiration or sometimes a bone marrow biopsy is carried out to confirm the presence of the disease.
These tests not only help in confirming the disease but also help in typing or classifying the disease and also to stage them.
A subtype of NHL, Anaplastic Large-Cell Lymphoma (ALCL), harbors a close resemblance to Lymphocyte-Depleted Hodgkin's Lymphoma (LDHL), which is a subtype of HL. Diagnosing these subtypes must be done with extreme care, as the treatment regimen for the two subgroups vary.

For full Swimming World coverage of the entire 2011 FINA World Championships, including all videos and recaps, visit our Event Landing Page.
SHANGHAI, China, July 30. IN one of the more stunning upsets of the meet, The Netherlands' Inge Dekker pipped Sweden's Therese Alshammar at the wall to win the women's 50 fly at the FINA World Long Course Championships.
Alshammar had been in control of the event all year, throwing down epic times throughout the season and earlier this week in qualifying. Dekker, however, had different plans and captured a touchout triumph, 25.71 to 25.76. The win by Dekker gave The Netherlands its third world title in the event since it began being offered at the 2001 World Championships. Inge de Bruijn won the 2001 and 2003 versions.
"Anything is possible in a 50 final," Dekker said. "I didn't think too much, I just swam and went as fast as I could, the same as in the semifinal. When I saw I won, it was cool. In the past, I have had a problem swimming in the final."
Alshammar, meanwhile, settled for silver – her third career medal in the event. She took bronze in 2005, and won the title in 2007. Heading into tonight, all the talk had been surrounding whether Alshammar could take down her world record of 25.07 from the 2009 World Championships. Now, she'll head back to the drawing board.
France's Melanie Henique captured bronze in 25.86 for her country's first world championship medal in the event.
"I can't believe that I won the bronze medal." Henique said. "It's a beautiful night. I am so grateful to my coach and my family."
China's Lu Ying (25.87), Sweden's Sarah Sjostrom (25.87), Japan's Yuka Kato (26.02), USA's Dana Vollmer (26.06) and Australia's Marieke Guehrer (26.21) rounded out the championship heat. Guehrer had an off year this year after winning the world title in 2009.

Shot fired during argument over dog in Larksville
Larksville police say an argument over a dog got so heated that a gunshot was fired over the matter Sunday.
Police arrested Michael Palkovic, Jr., 45, of 300 Wilson St., at his home after he allegedly fired a handgun at his stepson, Carmen Pane, 18, during an argument in which Pane came to the house to collect some of his belongings.
Pane told police that his mother, Karyn Palkovic, put bags of his clothes out on the porch when he drove to the house to collect his possessions. Pane told his mother that he came to take the dog, but she told him that he could not have the dog, police said. He said he entered the house, and got into an argument with Palkovic, police said.
Palkovic followed Pane back outside and they continued arguing, police said. Palkovic then shot at Pane, missing his leg, but hitting a nearby deck, police said. Police located the bullet from under the deck.
Palkovic was charged with one count of aggravated assault, two charges of making terroristic threats with intent to terrorize another, two counts of simple assault, one count of recklessly endangering another person, one charge of discharging a firearm into an occupied structure, and one charge of disorderly conduct.
Palkovic is released on $10,000 unsecured bail set by Magisterial District Judge Rick Cronauer. His preliminary hearing is set for 9 a.m. May 8 before Magisterial District Judge David Barilla.

Spirit, Please Come Forward And Cancel This Movie
When it was announced that the second Hasbro property after the gates, following Peter Berg's actioner "Battleship," would be "Ouija," based on the board game that's been succesfully freaking out teenagers for decades, most, including us, assumed it would be some kind of teen horror flick -- after all, the likes of "Drag Me To Hell" and "Long Time Dead" have used the system as a conceit within the horror genre. But Universal have given the film a key tentpole slot, on November 9th, 2012, and we began to suspect that the film might be aiming at more quadrants than simply horror fans. And indeed, that seems to be the case.
The film's writers, Edward Kitsis and Adam Horowitz, recently spoke to Assignment X (via STYD), while doing promotional duties for "Tron: Legacy," and revealed that the picture wasn't a horror movie. Horowitz told the site that "It's "Indiana Jones" - that kind of tone. It's a big adventure movie." Heat Vision have now confirmed this, calling the project 'a four-quadrant supernatural adventure centering around a family, with influences from "The Mummy" and "Indiana Jones."
Furthermore, they've also suggested a couple of names in the running for the director's chair on the film, and they're appropriately tentpole-friendly. While names like Sylvain White ("The Losers") and Pierre Morel ("Taken") have made failed presentations to studio executives in recent weeks, and Scott Stewart ("Priest") and John Moore ("The Omen") were also rejected, it now seems that the latest contenders are Breck Eisner, director of "Sahara" and "The Crazies," and our favorite goateed-Damien-Lewis-after-suffering-an-allergic-reaction-to-a-bee-sting-lookalike, McG ("Terminator: Salvation") have leapt to the front of the pack.
Both directors pitched presentations to Universal in recent weeks, and executives, and producers at Michael Bay's Platinum Dunes company, are expected to make a decision over the holiday.
It's not like we ever held out much hope for this project, but the two front-runners are both fairly bleak prospects. Our feeling on McG, the exact cross between a less-technically-competent Brett Ratner , the Stay-Puft marshmallow man and Donnie Wahlberg, have been fairly clear over time (clue for new readers: we think he's terrible), while Eisner made a wretched debut with the similarly "Indiana Jones"-indebted "Sahara," although to be fair, "The Crazies" marked something of an improvement, at least delivering on the atmosphere, even if it was hugely derivative. He'd be the lesser of two evils, but we imagine that the more family-friendly McG is probably the front-runner here, although post-production duties on "This Means War" may be an issue depending on how soon Universal wants to get this one rolling.
We suppose that, with a killer script, it'd be theoretically possible for either of these two to make a faintly entertaining film like the original Stephen Sommers 'Mummy.' But unfortunately, the screenplay comes from Kitsis & Horowitz, who proved with "Tron: Legacy" over the weekend that they have no talent for telling a story, creating compelling characters, making any fucking sense whatsoever, or doing anything other than lifting elements from "The Matrix Reloaded," "The Wizard Of Oz" and "Star Wars" and reassembling them in a new order. It's a way off, but we're still more scared of this film than anything we could actually conjure up from beyond the grave. "Ouija" hits theaters November 9th, 2012. Prepare accordingly.

Selected vignettes from some of your author's favourite cycling authors and books.
"For the stake of the combat is not to know who will defeat the other, destroy the other, but who will be subjugate the third common enemy: nature. Heat, cold, it is these excesses, and worse still their opposites, which the racer must confront with and even, inflexible movement; it is Earth's resistance he must add to the resistance of objects…
"The severest ordeal that nature imposes on the racer is the mountain. The mountain: weight. Now to conquer the slopes and the weight of things is to allow that man can possess the entire physical universe. But this conquest is so arduous that a moral man must commit himself to it altogether; that is way – and the whole country knows this – the mountain stages are key to the Tour: not only because they determine the winner, but because they openly manifest the nature of the stake, the meaning of the combat, the virtues of the combatant.
"The end of the mountain stage is therefore the a condensation of the entire human adventure: there are winners… there are the unlucky ones… there is despair. There is self-control.
"Muscle does not make the sport: that is the evidence of the Tour de France. Muscle, however, precious, is never more than raw material. It is not muscle that wins. What wins is a certain idea of man and of the world, of man in the world. This is the idea that man is fully defined by his action, and man's action is not to dominate other men, it is to dominate things."
— Roland Barthes, What Is Sport?, 1960.
"Although Barthes wrote as a fascinated outsider, the Tour had just acquired the greatest of all its chroniclers from the inside. Antoine Blondin was a dazzlingly gifted writer, as can be seen in novels like Un singe un hiver (A Monkey in Winter), a sardonic reactionary contemptuous of the leftist domination of French intellectual life, a self-destructive boozer, and a passionate devotee of the Tour. His dispatches for the Equipe from 1954 to 1982, apart from showing how well a man can write even when half drunk half the time, are an uncommon example of truly fine sports writing."
— Geoffrey Wheatcroft, Le Tour: A History of the Tour de France, 2003.
"During the Tour I met the writer Antoine Blondin at several receptions. He never interviews anybody, but just records his impressions of what he's seen and what he feels. Sometimes René Fallet was with him. They both love the Tour and, in simple language, they turn it into a modern epic, a troubador's song, a crusade, as they describe its beauty. The most banal event becomes significant to Blondin: he has only to see it and write about it. He raised the status of the Tour by giving it his own cachet; it became a myth to be renewed every year. No matter how predictable the race he could maintain the interest in it.
"The only thing I won [at the Classico RCN in Colombia in 1986] was the time trial in which, over 2,600 metres up, I was delighted when I beat Herrera. The Colombians excel in such conditions but when it came to the Tour de France and the return match it was my turn to lay down the law. The same riders who had beaten me in the mountains were crucified on the flat. When they reached the Pyrenees and the Alps they had no strength left. We made them ride against the wind without letting them shelter so, when they reached the passes, they'd lost their strength in battles they weren't used to. When they were worn out I took my revenge. Being an excellent climber isn't enough to win the Tour. You need to stay with the pace on the flat and to survive the time trials. Perhaps a Colombian will win the Tour one day, just as Martin Ramirez won the 1984 Dauphiné to become the first Colombian winner of a European stage race. When it happens I shall be very happy for the winner and for Colombia."
— Bernard Hinault, Memories of the Peloton, 1989.
"Not everybody was pleased with the way Laurent Fignon had mocked Bernard Hinault after the climb to L'Alpe-d'Huez, but Fignon seemed to believe that if you couldn't kick a man when he was down, when could you kick him? Even while he talked offhandedly and modestly about himself, he was unable to skip an opportunity to needle his rival. "I don't know if I'm becoming one of the great riders," he told an interviewer, "but I do know that it all ends one day. Look at Bernard. Two years ago they called him unbeatable.
"Nobody was will to confirm it, but the rumor said that as the pack began to climb the 2,640-metre high Col du Galibier, the struggling Hinault had been jeered by riders who recalled with bitterness his breakaways on the road to Bordeaux, to Blagnac, and to L'Alpe-d'Huez. Another version of the rumor went that they had not so much mocked him as tried to shame him into not attacking and allowing the pack to have a paced, uneventful day.
"Nobody need have worried on the way up. Hinault was in trouble, reaching the top in fortieth place, 3 minutes 50 seconds behind the leaders, including Fignon, who was having another splendid day. He climbed like a sightseer, he said later, taking time to admire the grand view across the top of the Alpine world. In a car following the riders, all the clichés were uttered: The Pyrenees are lovely mountains, human in their scale, but the Alps are truly majestic, dominating, forcing man to feel insignificant."
— Samuel Abt, Breakaway: On the Road with the Tour de France, 1985.
"On the first mountain stage of 1976, finishing at Alpe d'Huez, Zoetemelk and Poulidor used a double chain wheel of 42-53 and six rear sprockets of from thirteen to twenty-three teeth. Van Impe and Romero, on the other hand, had chain wheels of 44-52, and when Romero made his attack to chase the leaders he used a ratio of 44×21, or 44×19 in the harder sections. I'm not suggesting that I counted the teeth as I passed; this information was contained in an advertisement by Maillard, maker of the most fashionable freewheel in the Tour. (Freewheels are compulsory; if a fixed rear wheel were used the pedals might touch the ground in cornering and cause dreadful carnage.) Nor do I think in themselves the gear ratios are of any interest except to a specialist. But to the kind of person who just rides a bike to get somewhere, it might come as a surprise that cycling can even be considered in these terms.
"In fact the racing bike, for all that it has retained the basic simplicity of Starley's design, is an instrument of high refinement: a single lens reflex compared with the box cameras most of us grew up with. For all that its chief fascination remains, that it's the only form of transport with an engine that can think for itself, act on impulse, show courage and alarm and suffer from loss of morale."
–Geoffrey Nicholson, The Great Bike Race, 1978.
"The sport I saw took place in a social backwater, in a landscape of industrial blight. And it was the notion of that sub-proletariat, that class of the forgotten-about, the dispossessed, that gave cycling its charm, its coherence. Seem from within the ghetto, the racers had something epic, colossal, about them. They were "giants of the road", men who on their fantasy bicycles transcended the great mountains. And the mountains, as everyone knew, were not far from the abyss with all its temptations, it criminality. It was a sport in which scandal and achievement were constantly mixed. There was this fine line and we all watched, fascinated, by how each in turn negotiated it.
"This ghetto base did not keep cycling from being a sport created by writers from the sporting tabloids; people who knew their "Iliad", their classical mythology. And with the freest of brushes they painted a sport that was truly like nothing else, based as it was on sheer hyperbole. But there was a challenge it it as well. Either a race flabbergasted our imaginations, or it didn't. Those that did, like the Tour, or Paris-Roubaix, survived. And many did, enough to sustain and eight-month season.
"It was this ghetto base and the heady verbal mix that went with it that drew us. And it was why the sport came into its own in the mountains. Here was racing that we could actually see, for an hour or so as one then another struggling member of the peloton passed us, the living myth, cartoon reality at its richest, its most haggard. And it is what I believe has changed most in recent years. The television camera cannot show the steepness of the road, what it means to be dragging your carcass uphill, against all that gravity. And it's no accident that the Tours keep being decided in time trials, on the flat, and which keep getting longer. It makes for riveting television watching. But it is not quite the same as being up there yourself, stoned, with a picnic basket, weeping, taking it all in: the melting roads, the snow, the frantic figures with their hoses and buckets and merciful hands, and the poor, gaunt, blasted figures themselves, who have ridden up into this hell, this paradise."
— Robin Magowan, Tour de France: The Historic 1978 Event, 1979.

OKA contemplates the void at the GuggenheimThursday, February 11th, 2010
The iconic Frank Lloyd Wright building at the heart of the museum is mostly empty: The galleries are built along the spiral ramp that defines the shape of the building, leaving open a central rotunda.
For the building's 50th anniversary, the museum invited 200 artists, architects and designers to think up ways to fill the space. OKA's entry, featured in a New York Times blog post about the exhibition, envisions the Guggenheim in the year 2060, in a world dominated by poverty, overpopulation and food shortages. The building, ravaged by the elements, is no longer a museum but rather an open-air market, centered around a giant windmill made from reclaimed steel.
According to the proposal, the repurposed Guggenheim "underscores the importance of utility and longevity in design and witnesses the power of the individual in developing decentralized local and sustainable communities."
The exhibition runs through April 28.

CGG is to conduct a 3D seismic survey in block 10 in Yemen for TotalFinaElf. Operating conditions on the 195 km2 survey are likely to be extremely complicated given the difficulty in accessing this region.
The crew will therefore rely heavily on helicopters and operate with light portable drilling units and the new Sercel 408 recorder. The lightweight of this new system is expected to lead to significant productivity gains on such a large-scale heliportable survey.
The acquisition work is due to take two and a half months and commence in mid-December. CGG currently has three crews operating in Yemen.

Live Common Core Forum
WXXI's commitment to education doesn't end at its award-winning PBS Kids programs like Sesame Street, Arthur, and Curious George. Our Education & Outreach Department provides training for parents and teachers on effective ways to extend learning using media, books, & hands-on learning at home & school. It also creates and hosts family fun and learning events around the community, coordinates our Community Cinema series -- a free screening talkback program about important issues, and provides families and schools with free VITAL NY video on-demand services for use in instruction through wxxi.org/education.
Clearly, education is at the forefront of our mission, so it's no surprise that WXXI was selected to host a live forum to discuss Common Core Standards on Tuesday, December 3 at our studios. New York Education Commissioner John King, along with Wade S. Norwood and T. Andrew Brown, members of the New York State Board of Regents, answered questions from a studio audience made up of parents, educators, administrators, and community members. WXXI's forum was the final of four public broadcasting forums hosting the Commissioner and community members across the State, which were designed to address issues raised by the implementation of the Common Core Standards in New York State.
If you didn't have a chance to watch the forum live on December 3rd, you can watch the archive online here.


text: Our defensive game is back to where it was last year we all can agree. The physical aspect was there for a bit minus a couple exceptions. When lapier started his sh*t and ference tried to fight him was a good thing but ference let him go. Piere Mcquire from tsn said that lapier is starting to get a reputation for that around the league so why not drop the piece of sh*t get the emotion rolling in the building and on the freaking bench. Stuart and Sob played solid physical game tonight props to the them. As for Chara had a nite when he could have sent a message by planting the midgets into the front row nothing. Recently watching games when Chara rushes the puck gets to the other teams blue line dumps it in and chases it he looks like heès on a mission cj should try him forward for couple shift guarantee he will draw penalties just a thought but on powerplay play him forward in front of net. Let the big man go cause when he rushes sh*t happens but he backs of to d to quickly. Otherwise score some goals play more physical and we will start to win again

Swim Vacation Day 6, by Heather
Where were we this morning? Its hard to remember back that far when we do so much in a day. Ah, yes, Salt Island. We planned a great swim - a one mile loop around Salt Bay - the goal was to swim it twice, the second time faster than the first. We dove in, Busby Berkley style in a peel off the boat. We all made it around once, and some of us headed off for the second round, but the current was crazy and we decided to play it safe. We all worked plenty hard for nearly two miles. No complaints from this crew - they suited up for a hike on Salt Island.
While they explored and hunted down the Geo-cache, Lisa and I enjoyed a lovely dive to about 55 feet just a short distance off the back of the boat. Our mission: come back with conch for fritters. We only found one, and decided to let him be, but on our way back to the boat, we were aggressively courted by two giant remora looking for a ride! We lead them back to the boat for our swimmers to see, but alas, they were not back from their island exploration yet.
A lunch of burritos under weigh as we headed back to the Baths - so glad to return, having missed a shore landing on our first visit earlier in the week. Before we left the boat for our swim, Captain Rich hoisted me up the mast so I could get an eagle eye view of our swimmers in the Promenades trampoline.
We swam in to shore and followed the path through the magical boulder field. It was a great thing to do on our last day in the islands. We ended our water sports with a 2+ mile swim from the boulder beach all the way to Spanish Town - current against us. No matter, we dug deep and left it all out there. Everyone was so glad to have made the swim.
As we sailed back to Tortola, Christy zipped me around in the dinghy so i could get pics of our swimmers on our lovely sea-home, sailing off into the sunset.
We gamed over cocktails, stuffed ourselves on a fantastic meal of steak and potatoes. followed by chocolate moose and a slide show recapping the week.
Now the evenings activities have ended, but were all still milling about, procrastinating, not wanting to pack, not wanting to leave. Its been a special week. Weve all pushed ourselves more than we could have imagined, found strength in our strokes we didnt know we had. Weve seen wildlife, made an historical crossing, and supported each other in swims long and tough. Will declared that what we do is pretty bad-ass, and we all agree that weve earned it.
Here are some interesting stats:
We ate 15 lbs of cheese, 8 dozen eggs, 6 blocks of butter, and drank (and rinsed with) 1600 gallons of water. We also swam just about 16 miles, covering Virgin Gorda, Cooper, Salt, Peter and Norman Islands and saw sting rays, a manta, turtles, tarpon and countless other species along the way.
What a week.
Tomorrow well trickle out of Tortola, on our way to homes across the States and Canada. But well be bound by this Caribbean Sea and the strides weve made within it.

Criminal Law Questions? Ask a Criminal Lawyer.
Hello. My name is XXXXX XXXXX I will be glad to help you.
Are you a registered sex offender?
Are you online?
No I am not registered
I have a mis that was pled. down from a fel.
To answer your question, the treatment center will report back to your Probation officer and the polygraph can be used in some cases at your violation hearing.
But can you be violated on a polygraph alone?
This polygraph tests are often used to show the judge that you failing your treatment plan and you are not being honest and forthcoming.
In most cases no, but it was done before, usually the poly results would have to be supported by some additional evidence
So generally an assumption that you have to be caught "red handed with banned items" is incorrect
Do you have any additional related questions?
are you there sir?
yes I am here
As far as being violated to admitting to watching porno or drinking alcohol, that would depend on whether the conditions of your probation were prohibiting you from doing it?

Forest City approves superintendent's payout
Times-Shamrock Writer
The school board recently approved a nearly $21,000 retirement payout for former superintendent Robert Vadella. The $20,099.60 was for unused sick and vacation days.
The payout, approved Feb. 13, included 16 and a half sick and 40 vacation days, according to business manager Kathleen Seifried. Each sick day was valued at $20 and the price of each vacation day, which was based on Vadella's $121,088.21 ending salary, was $494.24.
Board President Mary Emmett said the payout was simply a matter of adhering to his contract.
"There wasn't anything that was out of the ordinary," Emmett said, adding thatForestCityis not in the "same category" as other districts where some payouts have been larger than salaries. "I think that we're cautious about everything these days."
During Vadella's tenure, a pre-kindergarten program was created, the Project Lead the Way student engineering program started and the elementary school achieved the academic honor of a Blue Ribbon ranking, according to Emmett.
John J. Kopicki became acting superintendent in July and was officially named to the position in January. His base salary is $105,000, and his contract extends until June 30, 2016.

Funding opportunities
β-thalassemia is a genetic disease caused by diverse mutations of the β-globin gene that lead to profoundly reduced red blood cell (RBC) development. The unmet medical need in transfusion-dependent β-thalassemia is significant, with life expectancy of only ~30-50 years despite standard of care treatment of chronic blood transfusions and iron chelation therapy. Cardiomyopathy due to iron overload is the major cause of mortality, but iron-overload induced multiorgan dysfunction, blood-borne infections, and other disease complications impose a significant physical, psychosocial and economic impact on patients and families. An allogeneic bone marrow transplant (BMT) is curative. However, this therapy is limited due to the scarcity of HLA-matched related donors (<20%) combined with the significant risk of graft-versus-host disease (GvHD) after successful transplantation of allogeneic cells.
During infancy, gamma-globin-containing fetal hemoglobin protects β-thalassemia patients from developing disease symptoms until gamma globin is replaced by adult-type β-globin chains. The proposed therapeutic intervention combines the benefits of re-activating the gamma globin gene with the curative potential of BMT, but without the toxicities associated with acute and chronic immunosuppression and GvHD. We hypothesize that harvesting hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs) from a patient with β-thalassemia, using genome editing to permanently re-activate the gamma globin gene, and returning these edited HSPCs to the patient could provide transfusion independence or greatly reduce the need for chronic blood transfusions, thus decreasing the morbidity and mortality associated with iron overload. The use of a patient's own cells avoids the need for acute and chronic immunosuppression, as there would be no risk of GvHD. Moreover, due to the self-renewing capacity of HSPCs, we anticipate a lifelong correction of this severe monogenic disease.
Our proposed treatment for transfusion dependent β-thalassemia will benefit patients in the state by offering them a significant improvement over current standard of care. β-thalassemia is a genetic disease caused by diverse mutations of the β-globin gene that lead to profoundly reduced red blood cell (RBC) development and survival resulting in the need for chronic lifelong blood transfusions, iron chelation therapy, and important pathological sequelae (e.g., endocrinopathies, cardiomyopathies, multiorgan dysfunction, bloodborne infections, and psychosocial/economic impact). Incidence is estimated at 1 in 100,000 in the US, but is more common in the state of California (incidence estimated at 1 in 55,000 births) due to immigration patterns within the State. While there are estimated to be about 1,000-2,000 β-thalassemia patients in the US, one of our proposed clinical trial sites has the largest thalassemia program in the Western United States, with a population approaching 300 patients. Thus, the state of California stands to benefit disproportionately compared to other states from our proposed treatment for transfusion dependent β-thalassemia.
An allogeneic bone marrow transplant (BMT) is curative for β-thalassemia, but limited by the scarcity of HLA-matched related donors (<20%) combined with the significant risk of graft-versus-host disease (GvHD) after successful transplantation of allogeneic cells. Our approach is to genetically engineer the patient's own stem cells and thus (i) solve the logistical challenge of finding an appropriate donor, as the patient now becomes his/her own donor; and (ii) make use of autologous cells abrogating the risk of GvHD and need for acute and chronic immunosuppression.
Our approach offers a compelling pharmacoeconomic benefit to the State of California and its citizens. A lifetime of chronic blood transfusions and iron chelation therapy leads to a significant cost burden; despite this, the prognosis for a transfusion dependent β-thalassemia patient is still dire, with life expectancy of only ~30-50 years. Our proposed one-time treatment aims to reduce or eliminate the need for costly chronic blood transfusions and iron chelation therapy, while potentially improving the clinical benefit to patients, including the morbidity and mortality associated with transfusion-induced iron overload.
The goal of this proposal is to develop a therapy for beta-thalassemia, a genetic disease caused by mutations in the beta-globin gene, leading to impaired production of hemoglobin and a lifelong dependence on red blood cell (RBC) transfusions for survival. During infancy, gamma-globin containing fetal hemoglobin protects beta-thalassemia patients from developing disease symptoms. However, during normal development, the gamma-globin gene is inactivated and gamma-globin is replaced by the adult-type beta-globin chains that are defective in beta-thalassemia patients.
The proposed approach will use a novel gene-editing technology to permanently re-activate fetal gamma-globin expression in hematopoietic stem cells (HSC) isolated from patients in order to restore fetal hemoglobin production. The modified cells will then be returned to the patient via an autologous bone marrow transplant, with the goal of achieving normal hemoglobin levels and RBC production, thereby obviating or greatly reducing the need for chronic blood transfusions.
The proposed 4-year project plan includes preclinical work leading to the filing of an Investigational New Drug (IND) application as well as completion of a Phase 1 clinical trial in transfusion-dependent beta-thalassemia patients.
Significance and Impact
- The proposed therapy could have a great impact not only on beta-thalassemia, but also in related hemoglobinopathies.
- This proposal has great merit and the impact could be extraordinary.
- The proposed approach is competitive with other therapeutic strategies in development including viral mediated gene therapy, and there are significant advantages over current therapies should this approach prove efficacious.
- The Target Product Profile is well thought out and clear metrics have been proposed.
Scientific Rationale and Risk/Benefit
- The scientific rationale is extremely strong and the applicant has provided good preclinical evidence for the therapeutic approach.
- Reviewers expressed enthusiasm for the proposal with comments such as: "I am highly enthusiastic; this is a study that should be done; this is a trial we would want to do at our center."
- Some questions relating to long-term stability and dose need to be answered to balance the risk/benefit ratio in favor of benefit.
- Two potential risks that are not addressed completely, are a potential effect on long term hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) activity and on the T-cell lineage and immune reconstitution; the applicants have not demonstrated that T-cell activity is not altered.
- Although the data on long-term reconstitution are encouraging and suggest stable modification, they are not definitive since serial transplantation has not been done and it is still an open question whether this will be a life-long treatment.
Design and Feasibility
- The development plan is well thought out and considers both the potential upside and downside.
- The project plan appears feasible and the applicant has articulated risk mitigation strategies at each step.
- The clinical plan is straightforward and feasible.
- Consistency of the manufacturing process is a concern; the manufacturing process may need refinement to obtain a consistent product with well defined specifications and predictable long term engraftment potential. The effect of genotype on stem cell mobilization and variability needs to be considered.
Principal Investigator (PI), Development Team and Leadership Plan
- There are no concerns about the team and collaborators - all are excellent.
- The budget is reasonable.
Collaborations, Assets. Resources and Environment
- The clinical sites, collaborators, assets and environment are excellent.
- Collaborations are with leading experts in the field.
- The applicant has identified appropriate, experienced contractors to manufacture reagents and cell products.
- Reviewers agreed that while this is an excellent proposal, there are some questions relating to risk versus benefit that should be addressed to strengthen the IND submission. Reviewers had the following recommendations:
- Long-term persistence of the gene modified HSC in vivo should be evaluated in serial transplantation experiments in an animal model to clearly demonstrate that long term reconstituting cells are not impaired by the manufacturing process; transplanted cells should be derived from the target patient population and transplant recipients should be followed for longer periods of time.
- Stem cell dose is critical. The applicant needs to evaluate the impact of the manufacturing process on the survival and potency of the HSC and demonstrate that what will be delivered to patients is an effective dose and that it can be reproducibly produced from genotypically diverse patients. Careful titration of the engraftment potential of shipped, frozen and thawed, control and gene modified HSC in an animal model would add confidence that dosing will be adequate.
