Gun-toting 89-year-old widow scares away burglars
Wed, 25 Jul 2012 19:13:18 GMT —
BLENHEIM, S.C. (AP, WPDE) -- An 89-year-old South Carolina widow surprised and chased off two burglars who broke into her home by using a fully-loaded .38 caliber pistol she pulled from under her mattress.
Marlboro County Sheriff Fred Knight told the Florence Morning News he arrived at Ruby Hodge's home Monday morning after she'd used her lifeline emergency device to call authorities.
Knight says 42-year-old Nelson Hawkins of Darlington and 31-year-old Ronnie Stevenson of Lydia were apprehended after a passerby saw a vehicle in Hodge's driveway and took down the license plate number.
Hodge told the paper two men broke in through her back door and they ran away after she confronted them with the gun. The widow says the weapon belonged to her late husband, who died 22 years ago.
Hodge was in her bedroom just after 8 a.m. Monday morning, when she heard a knock at her back door, according to WPDE NewsChannel 15.
"I did not answer the knock then.They waited a few minutes and they knocked again and I got up out of bed," said Hodge.
Hodge's daugther and niece got to the scene not long after law enforcement. They say they are relieved she's ok and commend her on how she handled the situation, acording to WPDE.
"My aunt will be 90 years old in October and she held her own. And when the people were breaking in and they saw her, she had hit the lifeline button and also had her pistol turned on them they turned around and high-tailed it out of here. I'm so proud of her," said Rebecca McArthur.
Stevenson and Hawkins are being detained at the Marlboro County Detention Center.

Phoenix, AZ — In a scene straight from the movie Groundhog Day, Bill Murray saved the life of a man who was choking while dining at a popular steakhouse in Phoenix, Arizona today.
Murray was enjoying a meal at Meritage Steakhouse with friends when a man three tables from him began to choke on his food.
"I saw this guy choking, so I went over and helped him out," Murray said. "I actually learned the Heimlich maneuver while working on the movie Groundhog Day. I'm glad I was able to get some good use of that skill outside of the movies." Murray continued, "I'm no hero. I just did what anyone else would have done in a situation like that."
37-year-old, Paul Horner, told ABC News how Murray saved his life.
"I guess I just took too much of a bite of streak because suddenly I couldn't breathe and started choking. My wife says I started to turn blue, and the next thing I know, none other than Bill Murray is giving me the Heimlich maneuver," Horner says. "It was an amazing experience and he is such a good person. I offered to pay his tab and the party he was with, but he wouldn't let me. He did say I could buy him a drink though, so that's what I did. He then ate one of my french fries and told me that no one will ever believe me. It was so surreal."
Tom Downey, who witnessed the incident, told local news station ABC 15 about the day's excitement.
"This man started choking, so without hesitation, Bill Murray got up from his table, ran over to this gentleman and immediately started giving him the Heimlich. While everyone else in the restaurant was wondering what to do, Murray stepped up and saved the day. What a cool guy."
Murray told ABC News he will be in the Valley this week staying with friends and enjoying the sites.
"This week I plan on going to a couple things with friends and tonight will probably end up at the Tempe Improv. There's a couple comics playing there that I've been wanting to see for a while now. I might tell some jokes if I feel like it, we'll see. I really like bartending. Maybe they'll let me do that. Regardless, it should be a fun time for everyone."
Paramedics said the man who Murray saved is doing fine and walked away from the scene on his own accord.

If you ever want something to happen, tell me and I'll think or talk about it and it will happen asap. It sounds like a gift, but it's not great. Case in point: Day 10 of OTAs. The VERY day after I enthusiastically imagined a season without Marshawn Lynch, complete with "less frustration, less swearing, possibly less drinking," what happens? He finally decides to show up to practice. Great. Hold on a sec while I count my (un)lucky stars. Lynch showed up and started learning the new offensive system for the first time, taking relatively quickly to it. How unfortunate. I was hoping real hard that he'd be a massive fail and this snag in my fantasy wouldn't even matter. According to … [Read more...]

To celebrate Brigetta Barrett's departure to the London Olympics, UA track coach Sheldon Blockburger ordered a red, white and blue cake, appropriately decorated with the five Olympic rings and, yes, a high jump pit.
Blockburger cleverly added to the cake with a mini Brigetta, dressed in Team USA gear, clearing the bar above hand-written signs that said, "Go 4 the gold" and "Take no prisoners."
Talk about setting the bar high.
Barrett leaves for London today; Blockburger arrives five days later. On Aug. 9, Barrett will enter the first of what her coach believes could be four Olympiads.
"I've been telling people Brigetta is only 21 and will be the youngest woman to make this year's finals," says Blockburger, the UA's jumps coach since 2006. "Jumpers don't reach their peak until 27 or 28, and I believe Brigetta will be the odds-on favorite in 2016 and 2020. She could even be favored in 2024, when she'll be 33."

December 30 - International Boxing Association (AIBA) President C K Wu has appointed Franco Falicinelli as the new European Boxing Confederation (EUBC) President.
The appointment comes after Dr Humbert Furgoni decided to resign from the position shortly after the conclusion of the London 2012 Olympic Games.
The appointment means that Falicinelli also becomes one an AIBA vice-president as per the approval of the AIBA Executive Committee.
Wu, who is also an International Olympic Committee (IOC) member, believes Falicinelli will provide a major contribution to the world of boxing in his new role.
"As I have full confidence in your leadership and in your long management experience of a boxing organisation, I believe that AIBA and EUBC will receive a great and valuable contribution from you", said Wu in a congratulatory letter to Falicinelli.
Falicinelli himself admitted he is delighted to take on the challenge.
"It is a great honour for me to have been appointed as AIBA vice president and to lead the European Boxing Confederation," said the 67-year-old from Italy.
"With no doubt, it is one of the greatest recognitions I have ever received throughout my 50-year career in boxing."
Falcinelli has also decided to resign from his position of chairman of the AIBA Technical and Rules Commission to fully concentrate on AIBA and EUBC matters.
Helmut Ranze of Germany has now replaced Falicinelli as AIBA Technical and Rules Commission chairman.

Anyone own or shot a rhino? I'm thinking about getting one. Any pros or cons you have found or noticed?
I noticed quick it was much more ugly than than a AMC Pacer but i hear they work :)
I've shot a rental at my range. Very smooth shooter, the recoil feels different because it just pushes straight back, so there is little muzzle rise. BUT it is so ugly, I don't think I'll ever own one. You should at least look at one in person. Also, KYGun has several blemished ones in their used gun section right now, in case you do decide to get one.
I've looked at them in person and they are badass!
Just like the Judge, "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder". I've seen them in person and I think they are ugly. I would like to shoot one though. I think i is an interesting design innovation but nothing about the gun has eye appeal.
I've got a 6" Rhino that I use regularly for pin shooting,A very fast,smooth shootin revolver.It has virtually no muzzle flip,recoil drives it straight back.
I've never even seen one in person. But I watched Jerry Miculek's YouTube video on it. He says it has a crazy different grip angle. I'd like to hold me and see for myself, but I definitely like how my S&W 66 feels in my hand.
Weird, but cool, all at once ;)
I love the funky rail that comes to a point...useful as a hand-to-hand weapon if you get caught short after unloading it the fun way :D

|I want to second the "BE CAREFUL" that james put up on the post. I have climbed all of the climbs in this area and have been there 4x.Everytime I was there someone knocked a potentially leathal boulder down the wash!! Watch your step and be aware of climbers below you on the trail. Another word of caution. My belayer was tied to the bolt at the bottom of Triangulate while I was leading it. I would advise NOT tying in if there are parties above you who will be coming down while you are belaying. He was nearly killed by two boulders knocked down ( he couldn't move enough) the wash and I nearly got yanked off lead. SCARY!!! Watch the loose ROCKS!! Another thing...people with dogs... don't take em up the side with the .10's on it... they cause too much loose rock fall and could potentially get hurt! leave the dogs at the first wall!

Would the person who took a big dump square in the middle of the trail underneath Left Hand wall yesterday please PM me your address so I can return the favor on your front porch.
If the concept of digging a cat hole with the heal of your shoe (preferably away from the trail!!!) then filling it back over when your done is too complicated for you, there's no way your smart enough the handle the logistics of climbing. You should do us, the people who use the trail, and your climbing partners a big favor and stay home!!!

Pick up a copy of 'Squeezing The Lemmon' from the author, Summit Hut, or another retailer. Then post the route yourself.
There are lots of routes around Arizona which have yet to be posted on Mountain Project. Usually it is just that no one has spent the time to add them. There are areas which are purposely not listed on Mountain Project but that tends to be entire areas.

GDC Online is filling out its schedule, and one of the more interesting dev panels is a "classic game postmortem" concerning Ultima Online. While the term postmortem is a bit of a misnomer since the game is still very much alive, the panel features an eclectic mix of dev personalities who helped shape both UO and the industry itself.
Original UO team members Starr Long, Rich Vogel, and Raph Koster will discuss how a "combination of insane ambition and idealistic cluelessness can sometimes result in creating something that changes people's lives and the course of an industry," according to the GDC website.
If you'll be in Austin, Texas, from October 9th through the 11th, stop by and learn a thing or two about MMOs and the folks who make them.

Colgate-Palmolive (NYSE:CL) announced its third quarter earnings on October 25. The oral care giant had a solid quarter with organic sales growth of 5%, although net sales fell 1% due to a strong dollar. Nevertheless, the company reported 1.7% growth in earnings driven by cost-saving initiatives and a 2% increase in overall pricing. In our analysis, Colgate's oral care business accounts for just over 40% of its total value, and consequently, the strength from this segment in the latest quarter supported the solid earnings report.

- Colgate Palmolive's Q4'16 Review: Focus On R&D And Marketing To Revive Volume Growth
- Colgate-Palmolive Earnings Preview: Premium Products Will Cushion The High Currency Headwinds
Oral, Personal and Home Care delivers strong growth despite European headwinds
The Oral, Personal and Home Care segment continued its robust performance with y-o-y organic sales growth of 5% driven by volume growth and price increases of 2.5% each. A strong dollar had an unfavorable impact of 6% though leading to a net sales decline of 1%.
The worst performing region for the segment was Europe/South Pacific where a combination of volume and price declines along with unfavorable currency movements resulted in net sales declining 11%. Volume gains in Australia were not enough to prevent a net decline due to volume declines in Western Europe.
However, this was more than offset by growth in other regions with Greater Asia/Africa being the strongest performer. The region saw an impressive 7.5% growth in volumes and a 4% increase in prices. Sales in the region increased 5% despite an unfavorable currency impact of 6.5%. Growth in the region was driven by countries including India, China and Russia.
Colgate expanded its dominance in India's oral care market with year-to-date share gains of 250 basis points taking its market share in the region to over 53%. In China, the launch of innovative products such as Colgate Plax Fresh Tea and Colgate Plax Fruity Fresh have contributed to strong growth in the company's share of the mouthwash market in the Greater Asia/Africa region. Year to date, its market share in the region's mouthwash has increased 3% to 19.3%.
Colgate has a global market share of around 27% in Oral Care. We project this to increase going forward driven by continued growth in the emerging markets.
Cost savings drive margins as company initiates another restructuring program
Another important driver of value for the company is the continuing expansion of gross margins. Gross margins for the quarter stood at 58.6%, a strong increase of 180 basis points compared to the same quarter in the prior year. Gross margins have been boosted by higher pricing and cost-savings, and these have more than offset the impact of increased raw materials costs and unfavorable foreign currency movements.
The two components of the company's cost-cutting program include the funding-the-growth initiatives, and the reduction of structural overheads through the implementation of shared services and the integration of local operations into regional hubs. Together, these two programs are expected to create annual cost savings of up to $700 million.
In addition to these initiatives, Colgate has announced a four-year restructuring plan this quarter which is expected to create annual savings in the range of $365-465 million by the fourth year of the program, with $30-50 million in cost savings this fiscal year. This will further boost core margin growth in the upcoming quarters. The company expects to spend up to $1.2 billion on the program, of which around $300 million will be expended this year.
We will be updating our $105 price estimate for Colgate-Palmolive based on the earnings release.

Maradona waves, blows kisses to fans
By Krishnakumar K H | Published: 25th October 2012 12:23 PM |
Last Updated: 25th October 2012 12:23 PM | A+A A- |
Diego Maradona, the supreme entertainer, thrilled over 50,000 enthusiastic fans at the Municipal Jawahar Stadium in Kannur on Wednesday.
Ever one to identify himself with fans, Maradona was quick to veer away from any formal obligations that he was expected to carry out on stage to interact with them - waving, blowing kisses and flashing a million-dollar smile in all directions, at every opportunity. By the time the clocked showed 20 minutes to 12 noon, El Diez was drenched in sweat, from his energetic manoeuvres on the ramp.
Adding to the festivities, the fans joined in a chorus to give Maradona, set to turn 52 on October 30, advanced birthday wishes. And to the icon's pleasant surprise, the organisers had in waiting young musician Charles, who sang and played on the guitar a Spanish birthday song.
An excited Maradona took on the gauntlet and proceeded to sing another hit Spanish number, much to the delight of the audience.
He looked game for more, but given the heat and the tight schedule, he signed off, "Ciao" - bowing in acknowledgement to the love for football and its superstar shown in no uncertain measure by the fans in Kannur. The biggest sporting celebrity ever to visit Kerala, Maradona had arrived via the Cochin International Airport on Tuesday.

Rehashing games while polishing them is never a bad thing. It worked with megaman, it works with warriors game, heck for some reason is working with COD. The gameplay of DMC4 was going on the right direction, it just needed a little polishing and that way all the focus can be moved towards making a cool story.
Why not moved forward with DMC instead of stepping back all the way to zero with DmC?
The gaming industry is continuously going down in both quantity and quality. This makes me feel sad.

DMC4 broke all the sales accolades that DmC didn't make at all even on launch day. That's proof enough a reboot wasn't necessary from a business standpoint.
LoL. Another "Mo-cap cost more than ALL DMC games combined!!!" comment. Hardly. There's about 2 hours of scenes with 4 people. Mo-cap is actually cost effective and efficient.
Add the fact that Capcom outsourced the entire game to cut costs and the extent of their marketing consisted of using pressed haters for free promo. DmC would have gone completely under the radar had it not been for the hate. With all that, DmC likely had one of the lowest budgets of all DMC games.

The Mo-cap studio wasn't just some average Mo cap studio, it was the people that Avatar hired to do mo-cap so it probably cost a lot. Let alone the costs of flying out people from Japan to constantly oversee the develop of the game, ~3 years of development, giving out free 10 dollar dlc with preorders. Not to mention they paid a company to develop a CG trailer that was shown in theaters for the game. I think somewhere they mention the avertising budget was around or slightly less than DMC4 but they never specifically mention how much it was.

Our Approach To Social Media Marketing For Small Businesses
Social media has established a strong foothold in the realm of internet marketing. Companies who want to be successful online must embrace this form of communication. What started out as a way for individuals to share information within their personal network has turned into a way for businesses to be brought before an expanding audience by way of viral distribution.
You may have been inundated by terms like 'syndication', 'aggregation', 'podcasting', 'micro-blogging', 'viral', and 'mashup'. We understand what these terms mean, and how these tools are used in social media marketing.
A majority of companies do not use Facebook (for example) to it's full potential. JW Designs can design or modify your facebook fan page so that you can generate leads direct from Facebook, without having the user leave the comfort of their social media platform.
JW Designs, LLC. can work any scale of projects, from setting up your custom Facebook page, application development to
social media marketing management on a repetitive basis.

LENZI, Márcia de Freitas; CAMILLO-COURA, Léa; GRAULT, Carlos Eduardo and VAL, Margarida Barros do. Dengue in a Rio de Janeiro slum: a preliminary analysis. Cad. Saúde Pública [online]. 2000, vol.16, n.3, pp.851-856. ISSN 1678-4464. http://dx.doi.org/10.1590/S0102-311X2000000300034.
This study is part of a program to control and prevent dengue in a slum bordering on the grounds of the Oswaldo Cruz Foundation in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The results obtained from a questionnaire and entomological survey called attention to problems pertaining to the information transmitted by public health campaigns and its interpretation, since many practices result from misunderstanding or forgetting preventive messages. Dengue-related data include most frequent vector breeding sites, people's knowledge, and dengue-related habits. The study's conclusions in terms of dengue prevention point to the need for drafting messages not only about ideal preventive practices but also teaching possible solutions: disseminating frequent messages throughout the year and not only seasonally and planning health education to join health professionals and the population in the search for sustainable dengue control alternatives.

Real option games with R&D and learning spillovers
We demonstrate to decision makers how to optimally make costly strategic pre-investment R&D decisions in the presence of spillover effects in an option pricing framework with analytic tractability. Decisions are modeled as impulse-type controls with random outcome. Two firms face two decisions that are solved interdependently in a two-stage game. The first-stage decision is: What is the optimal level of coordination (optimal policy/technology choice)? The second-stage decision is: What is the optimal effort for a given level of the spillover effects and the cost of information acquisition? The framework is extended to a two-period closed-loop stochastic game with (path-dependency inducing) switching costs that make strategy revisions harder. When conditions of learning-by-doing exist, we find that strategy shifts are easier to observe in market environments of high growth and high volatility.

EMS HiTech company is pleased to announce PostgreSQL Manager 2.7 -- the next version of the powerful PostgreSQL administration and development tool! You can download the latest version and user's guide from http://www.pgsqlmanager.com/download.phtml What's new in version 2.7? 1. Extract Metadata. We have added the possibility to make scripts for all objects of a scheme. 2. SQL Editor. Now it is possible to view the query results on the same tab with the query text. 3. When connecting to the server 8.0beta5 an error arose, as in this version of the server it is impossible to define tablespace for schema and, therefore, in the system table 'pg_namespace' there is no 'nsptablespace' field. The proper changes are given in PostgreSQL Manager. 4. SQL executor now supports dollar-quoted strings. 5. In function definition the function body is now shown as dollar-quoted string. You can disable this using the 'Dollar-quoted Function Body on Server 8.0 and Higher' option on the Object Editors tab of Environment Options dialog. 6. There appeared the new possibility to disable showing the Changing Metadata window using the corresponding option in Confirmations tab of Environment Options dialog. 7. Query Builder. Access Violation error emerged when adding a criterion and closing a form. The bug is fixed. 8. 'Make hidden Table Explorer visible on new table window' option is substituted for 'Hide Table Explorer'. A new button is added in the toolbar of Table editor to show/hide the explorer. 9. Expressions of indices for server 8.0 beta 5 are shown correctly now. 10. Now, when creating SERIAL and BIGSERIAL on server 8.0, the script like ALTER TABLE ADD SERIAL is generated. On creating SERIAL on server 7.4 and lower the maximum value for created sequence is limited now according to INTEGER type. 11. BLOBs with OID more than 2147483647 were shown empty. The problem is solved now. 12. The error arose and the views were not shown, when the user without rights for some schemes usage tried to connect to server. Now it is fixed. 13. Function editor. Sometimes after compiling a function the list of arguments became empty. Fixed now. 14. Export wizard. When the 'Current record only' option was selected the cursor jumped to the first record and the first record was exported. The problem is solved. 15. Grid tab of Environment Options dialog. The new 'Autofill Not Null fields w/o default' option is added. 16. Now the Help | 'Send bug report to' menu item is passed to our Support Ticket System. 17.Small improvements and bugfixes. What is PostgreSQL Manager? EMS PostgreSQL Manager is a powerful graphical tool for PostgreSQL administration and development. It makes creating and editing PostgreSQL database objects easy and fast, and allows you to run SQL scripts, manage users and their privileges, build SQL queries visually, extract, print and search metadata, export data to 14 available formats and import them from most popular formats, view and edit BLOB fields, and many more...

Good bye old friend
She has been with us for almost 11 years.
Almost two and a half years ago our delightful yellow Labrador, had some swelling on the top of her head.
At first, I thought she had gotten stung by bee while exploring her backyard. It didn't get any better. When I took her to the Vet, he said that she had a tumor in her skull. He thought that it was the worst of three possible types and she would probably be dead within the month. A fellow lab owner, he seemed really saddened and concerned. Then he called to see how she was doing, and he called again. Eventually, I asked him not to call, every call was a reminder that the end was coming. I told him that I would let him know if there were any changes.
All of us except for Scout were crushed. Scout did not seem to know that she was on death's doorstep. She continued to be her delightful self. Ready to head off at a moment's notice for an adventure.
Ready to do battle with squirrels, all kinds.
Ready to play with all of her puppies, her humans.
Ready to keep anyone company.
The next year, our Vet was surprised but happy to see us when we showed up for a yearly exam. The next time, he was even more surprised. By this point half of Scout's skull was grotesquely swollen. We told him that we were moving from Texas to Pennsylvania, he asked if we would let him know how things went.
Things went alright, it seemed. Scout survived the drive from Texas to Pennsylvania. She took over the back seat.
She didn't enjoy hotels, moving from place to place unnerved her. When we reached our new home, she was a bit chagrined to learn that #1 son had a new puppy, Murphy.
She was even more surprised when #1 son and #2 son's lease expired and they and Murphy moved into our new house's attic so I could help with the puppy while #1 son was at grad school and #2 son was at work. She wasn't sure that she wanted to share.
Scout's closest mate, #1 daughter went away to college.
Scout worked at adapting to the new house. Murphy worked hard at annoying Scout just enough to make her play with her. The two of them settled into a routine, a brisk walk around the neighborhood, some tug-of-war, a long nap. Longer for Scout.
She failed to be impressed by the snow.
Last weekend, my husband and I were taking the dogs on our normal loop when Scout had a large, long seizure on the sidewalk. As a nurse, I should tell you that I hate seizures, in humans and apparently in dogs as well. We got her home and she perked up but I made an appointment with a Vet who comes to your house to euthanize your dog. On Tuesday, he came by and was amazed at the size of the growth. He said that once they have seizures, they quickly go down hill. It was a little hard to believe him, because Scout was a lot better from the day of the seizure and because he was new to Scout. He said that she had to be in pain, all the time, one continuous migraine. This saddened me, Scout never showed pain but was starting to have difficulty sleeping.
I spoke with the children and my husband and made an appointment for him to come on Monday to euthanize Scout. I figured if she was on the road to recovery, maybe years between incidents, I could cancel the appointment.
Unfortunately, the Vet was right. Scout rapidly declined. She appeared disoriented at time, walking around in circles. She had difficulty getting comfortable. She couldn't get onto the bed, where we were finally letting her, without help or get down the stairs. Murphy kept her company as she stayed on our bed. She did perk up whenever anyone said walk.
#1 daughter caught the Megabus back home to say goodbye to her dog. The two of them grew up together. Scout always assumed that protecting #1daughter was her responsibility, no armadillos would attack when Scout was on duty. They were inseparable. I am so glad that she could come home for the end. The vet came to the house and gently helped Scout go to sleep, surrounded by her family except for husband who said his goodbyes to our blessing before heading off to work.
What place does this have on a blog about cooking? Would you be surprised to learn that Scout considered herself my sous chef? She preferred to remain in the background, helping most when I wasn't looking. She was superb taster. She once checked an entire loaf of pumpkin bread for flaws. She has eaten uncooked fresh pasta so there would be no waste. She lapped out the insides of a pumpkin pie at Thanksgiving, she was concerned about how long it had been on the counter. When my husband smoked pork, she patiently stayed by his side, making sure that the temperature stays constant. Ready and willing to dispose of anything that didn't make the cut.
I will miss her ever hopeful eyes when I am in the kitchen.

I am so, so glad you got that extra time with your sweet pup. But I'm also very sorry for your loss. I have an aging yellow lab snoring at my feet and I know I'll be devastated when it's her time. Sending you a huge hug...and holding back my tears. xoReplyDeleteReplies
She was a delightful companion, but you know.Delete
I am so sorry to read about Scout's passing. We lost our precious Moose in December and we still miss him so. He was such a big part of our family. Looks like Scout was a big part of your too. What a wonderful life you gave him. LisaReplyDelete
Ooops sorry....I meant her.ReplyDelete

Johnson & Johnson's (NYSE:JNJ) blockbuster potential oncology drug Zytiga has secured U.S. FDA approval for expanded use in metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCCRPC) patients (no longer responsive to reduction of androgen/testosterone by chemical or surgical means), who have not yet been treated with chemotherapy but have failed hormone treatment. And to add to the good news is positive opinion from the European Medicines Agency's (EMA) committee for similar indication. [1]
Currently, the drug is approved for patients diagnosed with both hormone treatment and chemotherapy. This lends support to our expectation of exponential growth in sales of Zytiga in the near future even as Xtandi, considered the closest rival of Zytiga, received FDA approval about three months ahead of schedule and shown a little survival advantage over Zytiga. [2] Below we discuss the prospects of Zytiga in detail.
See our complete analysis for Johnson & Johnson
- Imbruvica And Darzalex Are of Key Importance For J&J's Future Growth
- J&J Earnings: Cautious Optimisim
- Johnson & Johnson Q2 Earnings: Growth Likely To Remain Subdued
- Risks To Consider As J&J's Stock Inches Up
- ASCO Results Suggest A Breather For J&J's Zytiga
- Is R&D Spending A Good Predictor Of Pharma Industry Performance?
Zytiga is mainly used to treat prostate cancer, one of the most prevalent cancers in men, with around 250,000 Americans alone being diagnosed with this cancer each year. [3] While there are many treatment therapies available, most of them are injectables. Before the early approval of Xtandi, Zytiga had the advantage of being the only oral pill. But, the fact that Zytiga had only been approved for use for patients who didn't respond to prior chemotherapy and hormone treatment meant limited eligible patients and consequently revenues. But, the recent FDA approval opens a bigger market as the drug can now be prescribed to more patients, bringing in additional revenue.
In addition, the EMA committee's positive opinion also raises the chances of approval in Europe even as EMA is not bound to accept the recommendations of the advisory panel. Further, the FDA approval could guide other countries to take similar action as the drug had shown strong results in increasing survival rates in metastatic prostate cancer patients. The median overall survival of 35.3 months in patients on Zytiga was significantly higher when compared with 30.1 months in patients with placebo. [4] Riding these expected approvals, we do see a $1.5 billion sales potential for Zytiga. The drug clocked $200 million in sales in 2011, whereas sales zoomed to $700 million in the first nine months of 2012.
There is one rider to our expectations, that is Xtandi. But, we don't see Xtandi to make a major dent in Zytiga's potential sales. While in studies Xtandi showed a survival advantage (extending patients' lives over a control group) of 5 months compared with JNJ's 4.6 months or nearly 10 days, the difference is not statistically significant. [2] Further, Zytiga still has the cost advantage over its rival. While Zytiga currently costs about $5,500 per month, Xtandi is priced at $7,450 for a month's dose. [5]

Headlines: November 16, 2009

The debate over abortion funding that haunted the House health care reform bill is now dogging its Senate counterpart. Key Democrat Ben Nelson of Nebraska said that if the bill doesn't contain strong anti-abortion language, he will vote against the measure. With 60 votes necessary to avoid a Republican filibuster, the Democrats and the two independents must all vote in favor of the final version of the health reform bill. In the face of health reform legislation, drug makers are raising prices at the "fastest rate in years". The drug makers claim that the changes in price have nothing to do with the health reform legislation, and are instead necessary to ensure that drug makers have enough money for research and development, but some critics point to a similar price rise at the time of the introduction of the Medicare Part D drug benefit for seniors as evidence that the pharmaceutical industry is adjusting its prices to take advantage of the new legislation.
An article in the LA Times focuses on the influence of the Catholic Church on the anti-abortion language in the House health care bill. According to the newspaper, the Catholic Church got a seat at the table in the health care debate partially because of its longstanding support of the expansion of health care for low income Americans. The Senate bill, while it does not yet contain tough anti-abortion language does feature several loopholes for the private health insurers. A combination of factors allows insurers to potentially lure healthier people out of the "insurance exchange" and in to lower cost plans that are less comprehensive. This would leave only the sicker and more expensive patients in the health care exchange established by the bill. This is a stark difference from the House bill, which would allow private insurance to be sold only within the exchange. A recent poll by the Robert Wood Johnson foundation and Stanford University found that support for the health care reform plans currently in play is tepid at best. While opponents and supporters of the changer are evenly matched in numbers, the opponents are much more passionate about the topic. The poll also found that when pressed on specific issues, people who initially said they supported the reform backed away from that position.
In a different type of reform, a new program at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (M.I.T.) is looking to change the way pharmaceuticals go to market based on the paradigm of the aerospace industry. The new approach would involve more information sharing to suss-out and correct bottlenecks and set backs in the current drug development system. The Food and Drug Administration has announced, in another area, that it will ban caffeinated alcoholic beverages unless their manufacturers can prove that they are safe. Worries that the caffeine causes people to underestimate how intoxicated they are has led States Attorneys General to send a letter to the F.D.A. questioning the products' safety. In other food and drug news, a study released over the weekend call in to question the effectiveness of the blockbuster cholesterol drug Zetia as compared to a generic statin combined with niacin. The study, in the New England Journal of Medicine found that the statin/niacin combination is more effective at reducing buildup in the carotid artery than Zetia and sent waves through the cardiology community.
On Friday, the FDA cautioned patients that vials of 5 different drugs from Cambridge – based biotech company Genzyme may be contaminated with bits of steel and rubber that could be harmful to patients. So far, there are no reports of patients being harmed by the contamination, and it has affected less than 1% of the vials. In other drug news, researchers have had a breakthrough in using gene therapy to increase muscle growth. The researchers from the University of Pennsylvania found that gene therapy can be used to boost production of follistatin which blocks production of myostatin, the chemical that stops muscle growth naturally when animals reach maturity.
The Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act (GINA) comes in to effect next week. GINA prohibits insurers or employers from requesting genetic testing or information from employees or customers. GINA is designed to remove barriers to genetic testing for people who were formerly afraid that information would be used to discriminate against them in the work place or the insurance market. In other regulatory news, a disclaimer may be required at anti-abortion clinics revealing the ideological background of the provider. The regulation is being considered in several counties around the country because of concerns that inaccurate and misleading information is being used to dissuade women from seeking abortions.
A new study by the Harvard School of Public Health has found that in the face of new government incentives for the adoption of electronic health records, there has been little to no difference in cost or quality of care since their wider adoption. However, many argue that the electronic health records are simply not yet being used to their full potential at many of the providers that were studied.

Epson 837 print quality
I have, after researching printers, recently installed an Epson 837 Artisan printer. I was looking for a printer that was multifunctional yet gave excellent quality prints, and this seemed to fit the bill. I also use an HP Photosmart 8250 and find the print quality of this printer to be outstanding; however, I know this printer will not last forever and I would need a suitable replacement. I have found that the Epson, although the detail in the prints is outstanding, leaves something to be desired in regard to color reproduction and darkness relative to my Mac monitor, whereas the HP is spot on. My questions are as follows;
1.Is this to be expected with this particular printer, or is there some tweaking in the settings that can be performed?
2. If this is the best this printer can do, can anyone recommend a printer, photo-only or otherwise, which can match the output of the HP?
Thank you for taking the time to read this and respond to my inquiry.

Tea Party Groups Threaten to Sue IRS
ABC Digital
Political News
Updated at
(WASHINGTON) — What is the next step for the tea party groups who feel they were unfairly scrutinized by the Internal Revenue Service? For many of them, it may be lawsuits against the agency.
Jay Sekulow, the chief counsel for the American Center for Law and Justice, said the group will be bringing a lawsuit on behalf of many of those groups next week.
"It's the logical next step," he said.
"The admission and apology by the IRS that the criteria used [in tea party applications] was not correct and inappropriate" is grounds for a suit, Sekulow said in an interview with ABC News, because groups he represents are "still getting letters requesting information" and he believes "if we don't file suit we won't bring an end to this."
ACLJ represents 27 tea party organizations that feel they were unfairly targeted by the IRS. Ten of the groups ACLJ represents still have pending applications to get tax-exempt status, while 15 did receive tax-exempt status.
ACLJ is preparing a lawsuit against the Department of Treasury and the IRS on behalf of at least 17 of those groups, Sekulow said — and more groups, possibly even potential new clients beyond the 27 the ACLJ currently represents, could be added.
Sekulow said he plans on filing the suit this week.
"We are going to focus on a lack of standards and the treatment they were given and the wrong criteria utilized, much of what was in the IG report," Sekulow said.
Other government officials might be added to the suit, he said, including IRS agents named in the documents and department heads.

Self-Contained Air Chuck Designed for Pipe Applications
Kitagawa-Northtech offers the UPR self-contained air chuck designed for oil pipe applications.
Related Topics:
Kitagawa-Northtech offers the UPR self-contained air chuck designed for oil pipe applications. The chuck features a larger through-hole to accommodate workpiece diameters ranging from 7.2" to 22.0". A long jaw stroke creates more flexibility for accommodating various pipe and coupling sizes, as well as stepped material. The simplified chuck body features fewer components for easier maintenance, faster installation and removal, and improved safety. The chuck is equipped with a built-in air cylinder so there is no need for a separate actuator and draw tube, and an air-distribution ring is assembled within the chuck body. Built-in jaw stroke and pressure sensor safety devices help prevent incomplete gripping. A shorter mounting bracket for the distribution ring eases centering to the lathe spindle.

text: I had the G2x since it came out and recently needed repairs. The G2x glass digitizer was broken, and eventually so was the Charging/usb port, which is also part of the antenna and volume controls assembly for this phone. Prior to the "fix" I was unable to charge the phone and the battery depleted. I ordered both parts from ebay and managed to replace both the glass digitizer and the antenna/volume control/ usb port. The touch screen works great, and the phone charges again. However now I have an even bigger set of problems: The loudspeaker of the phone now no longer works. The phone does not get signal, it only gets wifi, it does not recognize my sim card. If it works it only does so during initial start up. So far I have attempted the following fixes: I ensured that every single tab inside was connected to the motherboard, there are no lose connections. Replacement of said parts went smoothly actually. I had froyo installed, I manually updated to gingerbread 2.3.3 to see if its a software issue. After the above failed I backed all my data to the sd card and to this pc, and went ahead and did a hard reset. After even that failed I made this thread. I am out of ideas did I get a busted antenna? I can't even locate the loudspeaker, although I suspect is inside the bottom plastic piece. Is there something I should of known prior to install? I already spent 75.00 fixing this thing in parts, id hate to turn it in to some repair guy that will charge me another 150.00 Any help would be much greatly appreciated.

Earlier this morning, Universal Studios Orlando hosted a live webcast in which it announced two major additions for next year.
First and foremost was the revelation that the "Jimmy Neutron" attraction will be replaced by a new ride dedicated to "Despicable Me," last year's hit 3-D animated film starring Steve Carell as Gru, one of the world's greatest super-villains.
The storyline of the new ride will reportedly revolve around Gru bringing his three adopted daughters to Universal Studios before transforming the audience into his minions as they explore Gru's secret lair and receive training for his next diabolical plot.
"The 'Despicable Me' attraction is the latest example of how we tap into pop culture's most compelling stories and turn them into extraordinary theme park entertainment," related Universal Creative President, Mark Woodbury. "This is a perfect fit for Universal Orlando, and we can't wait to bring this one-of-a-kind experience to life."
Although the announcement didn't specify whether Carell would lend his voice to the new attraction, it did mention that "Despicable Me" producer Chris Meledandri is working closely with the creative team behind the "Despicable Me" ride.
The other announcement from Universal Orlando centered upon "The Amazing Adventures of Spider-Man," in Marvel's Islands of Adventures. The popular ride will be receiving a complete digital animation upgrade in 4K high definition. From the description, it sounds like most of the ride's storyline will remain intact, but with added details for fans to spot and possibly some Easter eggs as well.
"Guests will not believe their eyes when they experience the new Amazing Adventures of Spider-Man," said Universal Creative Studio's Senior Vice President, Thierry Coup. "We are talking about a larger-than-life environment and the HD animation will make it even more remarkable than it has been. It will seem brand-new."
Both "Despicable Me" and the new "Amazing Adventures of Spider-Man" are scheduled to open in 2012.
