The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and tolerability of SC16LD6.5 at different dose levels in patients with small cell lung cancer whose cancer has progressed or recurred following standard chemotherapy. Once a safe and tolerable dose is determined, the anti-cancer activity of SC16LD6.5 will be assessed by measuring the extent of tumor shrinkage. SC16LD6.5 is an antibody-drug conjugate (ADC). The antibody (SC16) targets a protein that appears to be expressed on the surface of most small cell lung cancers that have been assessed using an immunohistochemical assay. The drug, D6.5, is a very potent form of chemotherapy, specifically a DNA-damaging agent, that is cell cycle independent. ADC's theoretically provide more precise delivery of chemotherapy to cancer cells, possibly improving effectiveness relative to toxicities.

text: This question was brought up on HBO's Inside the NFL. Both Dan Marino and Chris Carter thought it was a ridiculous question not even worth addressing. It was obvious that both felt that there was no way the Texans would be losing games on purpose. There have been some that think the Texans are losing on purpose. However I also feel that is ridiculous. Why would Capers be a part of that? Either he knows he is gone at the end of the season, so why would he care where the Texans draft next season? Or, he might think he is still has a shot at coming back which losing won't help his cause. As far as players go, what player would risk their job by playing badly on purpose just to improve the Texans draft position?

News anchor pledges allegiance to the wrong thing
Minneapolis ABC affiliate anchor Bill Lunn was trying to make one of those punchy intros that local news shows love so dearly. Unfortunately, his attempt at "pledging allegiance" featured a homosexual epithet instead.
Obviously a totally innocent blooper. Unless it's just Bill Lunn making a courageous stand for his rights to equality. Yeah! Hoping it's the latter and, even if it isn't, let's pretend it is. I salute you, Bill Lunn, you courageous gay soldier.
UPDATE: As Twitter user @Antimidas pointed out to me — and you can see if you start the video at 0:00 — Lunn's blooper followed a news story about a church dropping their support for the Boy Scouts in the wake of their updated stance on homosexuality. Awkward.

When they have been at their best this season, the Florida Gators relied heavily on the sharp outside shooting of their guards, Erving Walker and Kenny Boynton, with help from forward Chandler Parsons.
But Saturday afternoon, on the biggest stage of their season, with a trip to the Final Four on the line, the outside shots wouldn't fall. The Gators mysteriously went away from the inside game that was so effective for 31 minutes. And for only the second time in six tries this season, overtime wasn't in Florida's favor.
The Gators squandered a double-digit lead in regulation, then went 2-of-5 from the field and missed 3 of 8 free throws in overtime in a 74-71 loss to Butler in the NCAA Southeast Region final at the New Orleans Arena.
It was Walker, who had played brilliantly down the stretch last week to get the Gators to the Sweet 16, who missed Florida's final shots — both 3-pointers — at the end of regulation to win it and with 13.9 seconds remaining in overtime to tie it.
Tied at 60 in regulation, Florida took possession with 30.7 seconds remaining after a timeout then held for the final shot. With six seconds on the clock, Walker set up for a 3-point jumper that missed as time expired.
"We just wanted to get the last shot," he said. "We didn't want to give them any opportunity to score and we let the clock run down, and coach called a play and the shot. I got a good look at it, but the shot just didn't go down."
That's how it went for the Gators (29-8). Florida's guards struggled to get open looks: Walker and Boynton combined to go 0-for-6 from 3-point range and 4-of-15 from the field in regulation. Parsons was 2-of-9 from the field and had five points and seven rebounds in the game. The Gators shot 3-of-14 from 3-point range.
What did work for Florida was the inside play of center Vernon Macklin and forward Alex Tyus. Macklin had a career-high 25 points, dominating Butler inside. Tyus added 14 points and 10 rebounds. The two combined to shoot 17-for-26 from the field. The rest of the team? 8-for-31.
The Gators took a 51-40 lead with 9:25 remaining. But with Macklin in foul trouble and the Florida guards struggling, Butler went on a 17-6 run to tie the score at 57 with 3:03 remaining. The Gators went a good portion of the second half without Macklin, who picked up his fourth foul with 9:02 remaining in regulation.
And for Butler (27-9), every loose ball and rebound fell its way down the stretch. Butler outrebounded Florida 41-34 and scored 18 second-chance points, five in overtime.
"We just kind of stayed together, stayed the course, figured it out, and just played resiliently," Bulldogs coach Brad Stevens. "I'm incredibly proud of these guys. They carried their coach in a big way. … Our players did a great job, and (they are) just a special group. We're really lucky that they're Butler Bulldogs."
Shelvin Mack had 27 points for the Bulldogs, who reached the Final Four for the second year in a row, the first team from outside the six power conferences to reach consecutive Final Fours since UNLV in 1990-91.
"This is a huge deal," said Zach Hahn, whose two 3s helped Butler stay close in the first half. "I don't know that any other mid major has ever done this."
Close games had been Florida's strength this season. The Gators entered 9-3 in games decided by six points or fewer and 4-1 in overtime. It was not to be on Saturday as Butler won its first overtime game this season in four tries.
"There was a lot of talk about close games and us winning close games and how many overtime games we've played," coach Billy Donovan said. "But you know what, you also realize when you play in enough of those games, there are some that can go the other way. So maybe we'd like to trade one of those SEC overtime games for a game like today. But we can't do that."

Sorry I have neglected you for so long.
This has been life over the past...I dont know...3-4 months. While it doesnt entirely sum it up, it gives a sense of remembrance.There are many important things that have happened in my life that are not portrayed merely through imagery. Those moments and/or people are so dear to my heart.
The seasons are changing and with that comes beautiful blooms and feelings of enlightenment. Winter is a kind of "down in the dumps" type of season and those who dont enjoy the cold (much like myself) get stuck in that feeling. Cherry Blossoms are engulfing the trees and streets outside my windows and the vibrant pink and white flowers exude a sensation of happiness that is slowly creeping back into my soul. The past year has been one of trials and tribulations. While I remained positive for the duration, I cant say that it hasnt taken a toll on my sense of being. Even discussing it now makes my body ache and exhausts my brain. With these trials have come a feeling of being lost in translation. My life is passing before me and I feel less vivacious than years prior. Maybe these feelings will come to pass as the sun shines more and warmth engulfs my body. We shall see.
My life, over the past three months.

I am 37 years old weight 54 hight 155, I am not happy with the shape of my neck , it looks fat with loose skin and horizontal line , I might be a keloid former and afraid of post surgery scars, what would be the best option for me to have a flat neck ?
What Is The Best Treatment For My Flat Neck? (photo)

Neck Tightening with Liposuction in Los Angeles
Depending on your skin ellasticity you might get a significant tightening of the neck with liposuction of the neck. The advantage of this procedure compared to a neck lift is that there are only several small stab incisions.

How do I improve my flat neck?
From the picture that you provided I think that your best option would be lipocontouring of the neck. This would help to remove excess fat and create a nice contour to the neck and jawline. This type of procedure can be done under local anesthetic with minimal downtime.

Having very good success with the minimal invasive Thermigen RF devise. Easy to do under local anesthesia, minimal swelling, fast results seen.

Neck Rejuvenation
Your problem is not straightforward as seen by the different opinions by various surgeons. The issue is that the skin needs to be tightened and liposuction alone will not address that. It would improve the fullness under the chin. The fold that you have are in the same direction as the vector of pull used for a neck lift. Therefore, a surgical neck lift would not take care of some of the major folds. This is true for the thread lift. Radiofrequency tightening (a fine needle is placed under the skin and heats the skin from underneath causing skin tightening) may be your best choice.
Good luck!

Neck contouring options
Thank you for the question and the photo. Improving neck shape and contour can be accomplished in several ways including liposuction of the neck, chin/jaw augmentation, and neck lift. Which of these options would be best for you will require an in depth evaluation and discussion of what your goals. I suspect that Ulthera or Liposuction alone will provide a noticeable improvement. Liposuction can be combined with a chin/jaw implant if the projection of your chin is insufficient.
All the best,

Options toimprove neck contour.
To achieve an improvement in your neck contour, your best choices, from least invasive to most invasive, are: liposuction of the neck and a neck lift. The liposuction can be achieved through a few small 2-3 mm openings, and will help contour your neck and reduce the thickness of it. At 37, your skin should still have good elasticity and "snap back" well. A neck lift would allow you to tighten the skin and correct any issues with the underlying tissues such as tightening the muscles to define your neck contour. A physical exam would be required to understand your specific anatomy and tissue characteristics so I recommend seeing a board certified plastic surgeon for a consult.
Neck improvement at age 37
It is important that you mention that you wish a "flat" neck which I understand as excellent definition with a defined chin-neck angle.
Although there are effective non-surgical procedures for face and neck tightening (such as Ultherapy), none of these will accomplish what you are trying to achieve. Therefore, a thorough necklift can provide great improvements with excellent longevity.
I would not recommend neck liposuction.

Cosmetic Surgery is an Art and a Science
In my experience, a patient has two options. One is a neck lift and the other is carefully designed liposuction. More often than not, the two are combined. If you have a history of bad scars, try the liposuction first.This may be all you need. Get an opinion from a board certified plastic surgeon in your area. All the best
Necklift for the flat neck
A surgical necklift would be the best option determine if that above and below the platysma muscle in the neck. The 2 horizontal creases cannot be improved with surgery. Other examples are available on the link below.

Bankrate Audio » Stop Spending More Than You Planned
Editor's note: This is a transcript of the audio file.
We've all heard the carnie-barker radio ads screaming "the more you spend, the more you'll save." But it's easy to get sucked in, and spend more than you bargained for. I'm Taylor MacDonald with your Bankrate.com Personal Finance Minute.
With e-mail deals, smart phone apps and warehouse clubs, it's not hard to find great deals on your favorite products, but that's exactly what retailers want. Promotional emails are one way stores like to get customers on the hook. A fear of missing out drives people to spend where they normally wouldn't or shouldn't. The same is true in warehouse stores. A great deal on a bulk item that you'll never use all of isn't such a great deal after all. Be wary of perishable food items with a short expiration date. If you buy 10 steaks, but 5 go bad, you have paid twice as much per steak. There's nothing wrong with couponing to save money, just don't go overboard. A good rule of thumb is if you never would have bought it outside of the sale price, you're probably better off not buying it at all. And for more money saving tips, just visit Bankrate.com. I'm Taylor MacDonald.

Following a good Summer break and time and space for some solid reflection on my practice, I've been reminded of John Hutnyk's inclusion of my 'Keeping It Together' post in his own blog about Trinketisation:
John Hutnyk is Professor and Academic Director of the Centre for Cultural Studies at Goldsmiths College, University of London, UK.
Two Summers on, my studio's still crammed full and I'm still surrounded by the assorted accumulated objects and collections I've gathered over the years. What do they mean to me? Personally and emotionally? And now, as opposed to then when I first started storing them away? Why have I kept them? How has the passing of time affected my feelings about them? What will I do with them?
What do they mean to the world at large – socially and politically?
Some of the objects have seen the light of day for the first time in many years and it's been a joy to rediscover and reacquaint myself with them. Others on the other hand, have brought back some unhappy memories, causing momentary disturbances to the process of sorting.
Time to continue the journey of surprises and uncertainties …

Knicks C Samuel Dalembert fined for elbow to Raptors' Jonas Valanciunas
The NBA has fined New York Knicks center Samuel Dalembert $15,000, according to ESPN.com.
Dalembert incurred the fine for elbowing Toronto Raptors center Jonas Valanciunas in the teams' game Sunday.
One minute into the third quarter, the two began battling for position in the post, and Valanciunas extended his forearm into Dalembert's chest. Dalembert responded by jabbing his elbow into Valanciunas' face.
Dalembert received a flagrant-2 foul and was ejected from the game. The Raptors went on to win 118-108.
• MAHONEY: Potential suitors for Smith after stunning release
Dalembert, 33, was acquired by the Knicks in the offseason trade that sent center Tyson Chandler to the Dallas Mavericks. He's started 20 of New York's 30 games this season and has averaged 3.8 points and 5.3 rebounds per game.
The Knicks are 5-25 after losing to Toronto and are in fourth place in the Atlantic Division.

What the hell do we do in the USA any more, just watch "Dancing With The Stars"? Is that our only product any more: Reality Television? It just makes you wonder.
I watched Obama on television early this morning, as he swung through the DriveThru Window at the PhaseOne factory, to pick up his P65+ in person, and I began to wonder, "Is anything in our industry actually made in the United States any longer?" I guess if this was 1965 or so, that Phase One back would have a Zenith sticker on it, or RCA, or Delco. But I look around, and I see Canon, Nikon, Phase, Rollei, Sony, Ricoh, Sinar, Arca, Alpa, none of which are US companies. I guess you could count Kodak, but do they actually make anything, or do they just distribute?I think USA, and all I can count are that weird little White Lightning company, and maybe RRS in San Luis Obispo, but who knows where there stuff is actually manufactured? What the hell do we do in the USA any more, just watch "Dancing With The Stars"? Is that our only product any more: Reality Television? It just makes you wonder.
Speedotron baby!Wait, is that made here? I know they're headquartered in Chi-town.And, uh... I use Profoto.But Speedo... good, kick the crap out of it, workhorse American strobe.
They work and work but the only times I've been shocked was when using a Speedotron!
I guess there was Deardorff in Chicago at one time. Maybe now serviced in Cleveland, Tennessee.And there's Mr. Gowland out in in Malibu, but certainly not mass-market.And I guess Dr. Land, with Polaroid at one time, in Boston.The list is short. I guess the USA reached the point where the paid hourly wage simply made it not economical to build anything here. So the USA becomes The Giant Consumer, but not the producer.
Remember the old Norman P2000 packs? I've blown up ten or twelve of them. You're working away; you stop to change the power on the pack; you turn it off; you discharge it; you think the transformers are empty; you change heads; and then BAM!!, and the entire studio looks like a Pillow Fight, when those capacitors blow up and shoot the paper packing out the vents of the packs. Nothing like standing directly over one when it blows up; the sound is literally deafening.No idea if Norman is/was USA made; they were in Burbank when I'd drive there to pick them up from service.
Thus, the tradition of skilled tradesmen manufacturing quality consumer products still exists.
Chimera is made in USA. As are Mathews and American grip gear. Adobe and Apple software.The US gave iup consumers goods years ago in favor of the promise of information worker jobs, you know, manufacturing content like Dancing with the Stars, or spreadsheets.Where the US stil excells in manufacturing are:GunsMisslesRobotsPrecision Machine toolsChemicalsGunsTanksNuclear reactorsComplex shipbuilding AircraftOil and gas exploration equipmentelectronic guidence and detection equipmentPharmaYou know, it looks like we only manufacture National Security/Strategic goods in the US. Its all good. I'm going to watch Biggest Loser and veg on the couch.
The skilled tradesmen that I see in my town usually show up in a wrinkled Led Zeppelin t-shirt, smelling of last night's beer. Hair is sticking up, they've got the Plumber's Crack jeans on, and when they hand you The Estimate Form, you have to squint to decipher the handwriting style. Usually, their name is Darryl, and the standard response is "Yeah, I heard dat!", and then you hear them mutter something to their buddy about the concert this weekend and when the PO-lice showed up.
Unfortunately mostly made from foreign sourced parts!

- The net income growth from the same quarter one year ago has significantly exceeded that of the S&P 500 and the Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) industry. The net income increased by 258.1% when compared to the same quarter one year prior, rising from $102.48 million to $367.02 million.
- Despite its growing revenue, the company underperformed as compared with the industry average of 16.3%. Since the same quarter one year prior, revenues rose by 11.1%. Growth in the company's revenue appears to have helped boost the earnings per share.
- EQUITY RESIDENTIAL reported significant earnings per share improvement in the most recent quarter compared to the same quarter a year ago. The company has demonstrated a pattern of positive earnings per share growth over the past two years. However, we anticipate underperformance relative to this pattern in the coming year. During the past fiscal year, EQUITY RESIDENTIAL increased its bottom line by earning $0.92 versus $0.15 in the prior year. For the next year, the market is expecting a contraction of 8.7% in earnings ($0.84 versus $0.92).
- In its most recent trading session, EQR has closed at a price level that was not very different from its closing price of one year earlier. This is probably due to its weak earnings growth as well as other mixed factors. Looking ahead, we do not see anything in this company's numbers that would change the one-year trend. It was down over the last twelve months; and it could be down again in the next twelve. Naturally, a bull or bear market could sway the movement of this stock.
- Net operating cash flow has declined marginally to $183.25 million or 0.56% when compared to the same quarter last year. In addition, when comparing the cash generation rate to the industry average, the firm's growth is significantly lower.

N.Technology driver James Thompson qualified 12th today in Valencia with the Honda Accord Euro R Super 2000, developed together with JAS Motorsport, despite the car having never run in wet conditions before.
A thunderstorm 30 minutes before the half-hour qualifying session drenched the track, sending many of Thompson's rivals off the track as struggled to adapt to the level of grip. The N.Technology driver avoided any spins however, and kept improving the car and subsequent lap times, despite having no experience of the championship's new wet tyres.
With just five days of testing behind it since the project started in January, all in dry conditions, Thompson set a time of 2:00.543secs with his final lap of the qualifying session: a time good enough for 12th position.
Thompson will start the first of Sunday's two races from the sixth row of the grid, meaning he is within touching distance of the crucial top eight points-scoring positions for the car's debut in the World Touring Car Championship.
James Thompson, car number 15
"Obviously it's the first time in the rain with the car and we were just getting quicker each lap. If we had more time we could have worked on the set-up of the car and gone quicker. In a way it's disappointing to be 12th because now we have some experience in the wet we could have gone a lot faster."
Mauro Sipsz, Team principal
"Qualifying in the rain today didn't help us on our first race weekend of the season. James still did a great job to improve his lap time at the end of the session. N.Technology is all about winning and success and we look forward to getting back to our usual ways."
Eurosport's WTCC coverage continues with Race One will be shown live on Sunday 18 May from 12:00 (CET) on Eurosport Asia Pacific with Race Two starting at 15:00 (CET), both on Eurosport International and Asia Pacific.

Its just an amazing song it sounds ridiculous to play on piano also I don't understand why the quality of my post is based solely on how long it is I think that's ridiculous. Just as ridiculous as this song actually. Also It doesn't know that I'm just saying garbage that has nothing to do with the song, but I'm sitting at a solid "good" right now. Anyway, great song.
Come on, people! This songs has deep meaning. Okay, maybe not, it was about a lover (? ) but it doesn't make it any less impressive! I mean, they didn't make a hidden meaning or something, every bit of the lyric is crystal clear, but that doesn't make the song any less great.
This song is one of the most beautiful rock ballads I have EVER heard. This song is the epitome of My Chemical Romance's "deepness", if you will - this song pulls at your insides, rips at your heart and soul and very being. Incredible, INCREDIBLE, song.
I don't understand why this song, among a true My Chemical Romance fan, isn't in the top 10. Welcome to The Black Parade deserves the no. 1 spot, but this song is so beautiful and powerful, It deserves a top spot for sure!
This song is amazing. I love My Chemical Romance, and, although this is a great song, The Light Behind Your Eyes tops the charts for me. But this is still one of My Chemical Romance's best. SUCH A GREAT SONG!
This is the most beautiful song I have ever heard! It's definitely my favorite My Chemical Romance song! I love it so much! I definitely recommend it to anyone, and if you haven't heard it; look it up. NOW! :D
Beautiful song... It's a raw and honest depiction of the struggles of a cancer patient, but it is heartfelt and touching. I cry almost ever time I hear it.
I almost got a heart attack after watching the place of the song. No other place but only number 1 number 1 and number 1. How can a song make us cry every time we hear it
Such a great song! They really capture the heart-break in Cancer. I wish that it was gone too My Chemical Romance! I Love this song, it's beautiful!
Their most simple and one of the most emotional. This song is absolutely heartbreaking, yet it is one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard.
How is this song not in the top 10?! It deserves top three at least! This song is the most beautiful song ever produced by My Chemical Romance. Love it!
I think this needs to be much higher on the list. It's an amazing song and it definitely beats a couple of the ones that are higher on this list
What the? Why this song can't be in the top ten? This is the saddest song ever and ever. Make me cry. Very meaningful.
How nobody thought of putting Cancer in this list is ridiculous, especially if songs like Blood and The Sharpest Lives are in...
Can't believe this is low, this song is AMAZING! Just the way every single word touches your soul.
This song brings me to tears! Its beautiful and the vocals are so unique! One of My Chemical Romance's best in my opinion.
This song has such a deep personal meaning to me that it can still bring years to my eyes Gerard's voice is to die for.
Gerard Way's emotional and moving vocals make Cancer a highlight in the modern masterpiece "The Black Parade"
One of the smallest songs with the most profound lyrics ever. Definitely deserves to be higher up the charts!
This was ma first song of theirs and there was no turning back from there... Sparky
This song is so touching and shows the truth in disease. It should be in the top ten at least!
The fact that they chose to make this song is just another reason why I cry
They didn't just push away all of the other people who were forgotten because they had a disablement or others they never gave up on them.
Nice song :), " turn away if you can get me a drink or water because my is chapped and faded...
Best Sad Song Ever!
The lyrics Makes You Speechless!
When my friend sent me this song I listened to it twice and cried twice

As most stock indices were bringing a welcome end to their losing streaks on Thursday, at least one risky asset class was heading sharply lower. Corn futures sank after the U.S. Agriculture Department announced it's expecting a record U.S. corn crop this fall. That sent prices sharply lower as investors anticipated an end to a prolonged period of incredibly tight supplies.
That dip represents a nice buying opportunity for an asset that I believe has tremendous upside potential, especially in the current environment. The biggest reason to be bullish on corn futures comes from -- no surprise here -- China. Prices spiked in recent weeks as rumors of a massive China purchase swirled -- rumors that turned out to be false. But, while China hasn't made any big single purchases, it continues to tap into U.S. markets to help replenish its stocks. The country is increasing its purchases of U.S. corn, and it figures to continue doing so for the foreseeable future.
China's hunger for corn and other agricultural commodities is not a blip on the radar or a one-time phenomenon. Much like other emerging markets, China is home to a rapidly expanding middle class. Rising incomes and discretionary budgets in the developing world translate into a growing demand for better nutrition. In China, moreover, the government is going to do all it can to ensure that its population is content and well-fed. In a one-party system, there is additional incentive to make sure basic needs are met -- it's the most efficient way to avoid protests that could potentially threaten control.
There are, of course, major hurdles to be cleared between now and the realization of a bumper crop. The government's prediction for a huge haul this autumn could be derailed by extreme weather over the next several months, a scenario that has played out many times in the past. Betting on the weather obviously isn't a sound investment strategy, but identifying potential risks that the rest of the market is overlooking can be a way to spot opportunities.
Corn is cheap right now, in part because investors are assuming a best-case scenario for the fall harvest and are not fully pricing in the potential for Chinese demand, whether in the short term or in the long run. That makes for an interesting opportunity.
The only way to play corn through the exchange-traded structure is through Teucrium Corn Fund (CORN), which spreads its holdings across three separate maturities. For investors who want a low-maintenance way to play this key agricultural commodity, CORN makes a lot of sense. Because holdings aren't concentrated in front-month contracts, the impact of return-eating contango is lessened considerably for those looking to hold for an extended period (e.g., through the fall harvest).
After its slide Thursday trading, CORN is now down about 15% on the year. Given the big slide and all the factors that have the potential to push prices higher in coming months, it's worth taking a chance on this ETF for investors with a bit of risk tolerance.

"Finally An Answer to Why There's no Sarcoidosis in China"
This Book Will Do For Sarcoidosis
What Omega 3 Did For Heart Disease.
Mr. Abe Hsieh
"For a long time it's a known fact that almost nobody gets heart disease in China. After years of research, scientists found their answers to why this happens in Omega 3.
It is also a known fact that almost nobody gets sarcoidosis in China. This book finally discloses what are the healing agents that can do the same for sarcoidosis that Omega 3 is doing for heart disease."
-excerpt from an interview of Mr. Abe Hsieh for the Alternative Medical Journal in November 2009.
Message from Mr. Abe Hsieh (translated by Paula Downing):
Respected reader,
My name is Abe Hsieh. The hair on my head was still black when I first started working on sarcoidosis and helping people beat this horrible disease. Since that time, I am proud to have helped 1000s heal sarcoidosis, regain their health completely and continue with their lives like sarcoidosis never happened.
I have been a Traditional Chinese Medicine practitioner for 37 years and I am working exclusively with sarcoidosis for over 25 years now. In this time, I strongly believe that I have found precise reasons why Chinese people almost
never get sarcoidosis (it is over 1,200% less frequent according to my data).
After almost 3 decades of research, I know exactly why Chinese people don't get sarcoidosis and I am using that knowledge to heal my patients in the USA.
It works practically every time.
The fact that you have reached this page means that it is very likely that you or somebody you care for is suffering from this potentially deadly disease.
Allow me to ask you a couple of questions...
Are you sick and tired of sarcoidosis controlling and defining every aspect of your life?
Are you loosing hope that you will ever get permanently better?
Are you frustrated with how little your doctor seem to know about the causes of your sarcoidosis?
Are you ashamed to be seen on the street because of your rash or you are afraid that at any time a rash may appear and disfigure your face?
Do you find yourself daydreaming about living a normal life once again?
If you can recognize yourself in any of the questions above, then getting to this page will change your life. I guarantee that !
Please don't leave this page because I offer my honor as a guarantee that what you do right now will make the difference between you being healthy within a couple of months or suffering terrible symptoms that turn you into a zoombie that is just waiting for death.
Sarcoidosis is not a mystery any more and I will teach you exactly where is the source of your disease and what you can do to shift these chemical culprits in your favor.
I could go on and on about my methods and how successful they are proven to be in official studies, but instead, I'm going to show you what past few clients who had sarcoidosis and beat it had to say:
"The first thing I felt after reading your ebook is anger with my past doctors.
I got your ebook last year after a recommendation from a friend who listened to a TV show that mentioned the ebook and the commotion it caused in the medical community.
Today, I am so grateful for that day because today I am a completely changed person. My sarcoidosis is in total remission, my rash is gone and I am this new vibrant and positive person. It's enough to say that before that I was frustrated with loosing the battle with sarcoidosis for over 12 years."
Janine Miles, Dallas, Texas
"I was starting to give up all hope as my lungs were so obstructed I could not breathe normally half of the time and felt like a living corpse.
My doctors kept telling me that the only way to deal with sarcoidosis is to address symptoms as they come. That meant that I would struggle with this thing for as long as I am alive. The worst thing was that I was such a burden for my family.
Your book completely changed my life. I got it last year and I swear that I could feel the change within a week. It was amazing to find out that I was making myself worse with so many things that I did every day. I thank you for all the hard work that you put into this."
Ingrid Jameson, Tucson, Arizona
"At the age of 29 I was visiting my doctor at least once a week. I am afraid to think about what would be of me by now if I haven't used your methods to regain my health.
I had sarcoidosis in my lungs and my spine. The spine involvement was so severe that I had problems moving and I would have to take huge doses of Prednisone to resolve it. All the Prednisone caused my hair to fall of at one point. I was a wreck.
My first reaction to what I read in your ebook is shock. Shock that the solutions were so simple and that the truth was kept from me for so long. Today, I am in 8 months long complete remission from any symptoms."
Gevin Olafsson, Oslo, Norway
"The fact that I had sever sarcoidosis interfered with all my plans to have a family for so long.
Everybody told me that sarcoidosis should not interfere with my pregnancy and delivery. Evidently, none of them have experienced what sarcoidosis flare can do to a person. At times it got so bad that I would just lie down for days, fatigued and in rash usually around my lips and on my cheeks.
I found your book to be precise and to the point and I used it with ease. I planned my healing and the changes I needed to make and I really loved the feeling of being in control once again.The ealing process was slow but constant, I was getting better every week and just knew I was on the right track. I am a happy mother of a devoted wife leading a meaningful life. I feel like I owe you so much...."
Amy Dilenie, Canberra, Canada
"This book is a must have for anybody suffering from sarcoidosis"
After reading your ebook last month and re-reading it again a couple of days ago I can say that it is a simple must-have for anybody suffering from sarcoidosis.
I am not following your program completely, because my sarcoidosis is in remission, but I am using the precious information to avoid sarcoidosis getting back and flaring up again. Some shocking information in there.
If I wasn't aware of this, I would be exposed to these things that make me sick every day, both in my house and in my workplace..."
Abrielle Dobbs, Honolulu, Hawaii
But how exactly does this work?
Let me try and explain exactly what I did to write and publish this ebook.
I started collecting my records and data back in 1996 and trying to figure out what are the causative agents of sarcoidosis. As the title of the website says, I was trying to discover the "Chinese Secrets to Sarcoidosis Healing".
Here, I will share some of the secrets I am talking about, just to give you a little pre-taste of what this book will reveal to you...
- Secret 1 -
Looking for things that Chinese eat much more then the people from the Western world and then digging deeper into this food sources as possible healing agents. Since I started working in Dallas for 6 months a year (I spent 6 months with my family in China) I would divide my patients in groups and recommended different food options and recorded the results.
Very fast (within a couple of years) it was obvious that a single substance made all the difference. There were a couple of food types that helped with the general wellbeing, but only one substance was directly healing sarcoidosis.
This substance acts so fast and efficient that it can only described as miraculous.
But it is very unstable and hard to use right and it's amazing healing effects can easily be neutralized by other foods and wrong usage.
I am talking about Alpha Lipoic Acid.
I have tested and re-tested it and it is the single strongest healing agent for sarcoidosis. It also took me a while to come up with a way to use it right from supplementation through trial and error but today I am confident about the exact way to use it to bring health to sarcoidosis sufferers.
You will feel an extreme change within days. I Guarantee !
And the amazing thing is - it works every time.
In the ebooks I explain exactly what it does and how it attacks sarcoidosis, how to choose the proper, the only way to use it right and it correlates to other findings.
It is all very simple, clear, precise and ready to use the same day.
This acid is also known as a very good antioxidant, but it is not what is important to the sarcoidosis sufferers. It is another chemical action that works on one aspect of the immune system that had it's wires crossed in people with sarcoidosis.
It has an modulatory effect on malfunctioning cytokines and chemokines in sarcoidosis.
Most of my clients ask, "How come none of my previous doctors knew about this?"
The truth is that ALA (Alpha Lipoic Acid) is not news to the scientific world of the Western world. When I started using Alpha Lipoic Acid to resolve sarcoidosis I researched about doctors and scientists from the West who worked with ALA and I found out about Dr Burt Berkson, who has an amazing life story and has worked with ALA for a very long time. He has a history of treating cases of autoimmune diseases and liver problems that other doctors found hopeless and basically saving the lives of these people. But his work was controversial and disputed by large pharmaceutical lobbies. The only conclusion that one can reach is...finding definitive solution for sarcoidosis would cost the pharmaceutical companies billions of dollars. But...
Here, I responsibly claim that ALA is the potential solution for sarcoidosis and I am 100 % certain time will prove this.
- Secret 2 -
I looked into the lifestyle in China and in the West. I looked at the possible diferences that could be relevant contributing factor for sarcoidosis.
And here, I am not talking about general facts like "they eat healthy" or "they drink tea". No, I have finally pinpointed a very precise causative agent. A substance that lurks from the shelves of the Western supermarkets.
Here, I actually was really lucky. I was lucky because...
I decided to look into the patterns of distribution of sarcoidosis in Chinese living areas and I found a rule.
A rule that lead me to the usage of a particular substance also widely used in the Western countries - polyhalogenated aromatic hydrocarbons or PHAHs, especially dioxins.
While I worked in Dallas, I kept a record of the severity of cases of sarcoidosis as related to the usage of products containing PHAHs. I found the same pattern - more usage of products containing PHAHs, more severe the case.
I conducted thorough research on the subject and I am confident that these chemicals are the culprits.
Allow me to prove this to you...
An official study conducted in 1993 looked into the action of PHAHs in the human body. It was an extensive study and it lasted over a decade and the conclusion was definitive - "PHAHs caused an autoimmune reaction within the cells of the monkeys".
And here is the scary part:
People in the West are exposed to up to 2,000 % higher concentration of PHAHs than the monkeys in the mentioned study of 1993.
That is definitive proof that my findings were correct.
Excluding PHAHs from your life is a simple enough task, you just need some proper shopping advice. But, cleansing your body and amending the damage that these terrible chemicals made is another story.
Again, all the WHYs and the HOWs can found in the ebook.
It all comes down to a list on 9 rules to follow.
- Secret 3 -
The best known aspect of the Traditional Chinese Medicine are the herbs we use.
When I started working with sarcoidosis, I had a list of over 30 herbs that might be helpful for sarcoidosis. Through years of trial and error I designed a precise herbal protocol that I am using to date. The herbal protocol uses 4 herbs.
Each herb has a very precise role.
Herb 1 is the most amazing herb there is for people with sarcoidosis. Period.
I have worked for so long on this and I am often still amazed at the potency of this herb. What is the secret of this herb?
To answer that let us look at what we need for the immune system of a sarcoidosis sufferer. To date I am amazed at how many half-trained practitioners recommend herbs like Echinacea for sarcoidosis directly destroying the health of people that take their advice.
Sarcoidosis is an autoimmune disease, but most people generalize by saying that sarcoidosis happens when the immune system is overactive.
This is a dangerous generalization.
Here's why - sarcoidosis actually happens when a particular aspect of the immune system gets it's wires crossed. If you would try to suppress the immune system altogether it leaves you vulnerable to bacteria and viruses. That is why I don't ever (ever) use immuno-suppressing herbs that suppress the whole immune system.
On the other hand, some herbs (like Echinacea) that are used for sarcoidosis actually boost the immune system and aggravate sarcoidosis?
So, where's the solution?
What we need to do in sarcoidosis is suppress the part of the immune system that is causing sarcoidosis and not interfere with other aspects of the immune system. There is only one herb on this planet that can do that. I reveal it all in my book.
Herb 2 is there to invigorate the adrenal glands that get lazy and lead you into
a recurrent flares as you lower the dosage of Prednisone. It is there to prevent the flares as your body heals. It does so by increasing the circulation of Adrenocorticotropic hormone in the pituitary gland. I am certain that the role of the adrenal and pituitary gland is the most widely overlooked aspect of sarcoidosis in the Western doctors.
Herb 3 reduces the rate at which the white blood cells absorb the amino acid
thymidine. This almost eliminates the fatty acids known as the eicosanoids. These fatty acids are what feeds inflammation. No eicosanoids, no inflammation. This will bring you relief from pain within days.
Herb 4 is there to resolve any possible skin involvement and to prevent possible
appearance of rash on the face while the healing process lasts.
I just wanted to show you what I am talking about but...
These are just a couple out of total of 15 secrets that make up my healing plan described in the ebook.
I promise this - this will be the genuine solution that will allow you to beat sarcoidosis and then forget you had it.
Almost everybody who has ever used the system reported back similar things. That is why I am so sure this system will allow you to:
Reclaim your life from the deadly grip of this terrible disease
Invigorate your body and destroy that overwhelming fatigue that is controlling your life
Clear your skin from rashes and spots using the potency of a Chinese herb
Stop the wheezing and breath free once again as the granulomas in your lungs dissolve under aggressive action of Alpha Lipoic Acid and Chinese herbal remedy
Normalize your sleep patterns and get that refreshing night sleep you need
Resolve depression as you gain back control of your life. Many people report back that they feel even better than before sarcoidosis because of a new-found appreciation of life.
Get rid of the night sweats and hot flashes forever
Resolve other symptoms depending on your particular case (kidney, heart, spine, eyes involvement etc.)
Without much a due, allow me to present the fruit of my life's work:
"27 Years of Intense Work On Sarcoidosis Boiled Into One eBook"

I know everything there is to know about the options that are offered to the sarcoidosis patients and I will be bold here and say that this is a completely unique proven a and tested method to get your sarcoidosis to permanent remission.
The most important aspects of the program describes in the ebook are:
It is research based and scientifically proven.
It will allow you to discover and put a stop to the

It will save you thousands of dollars
It will be tha thing you have been looking for that
"After years of struggle I finally feel that something inside is changing for the better.
For most of my life, sarcoidosis was destroying me. I felt the first symptoms at the age of 39 and for almost 20 years it was on and off of being short in breath, sick in the stomach and always feeling this excruciating need for rest.
When I look back now I am just sad that I wasted the best years of my life feeling sick all the time and letting a disease control me. But what could I do when all my doctors could offer is steroids that made me feel better for a while but before I know it I would get sick again. I bought your book last 4 months ago and I am writing to tell you that I honestly feeling much better. I am not in remission yet, but I pray to God that I finally found my cure. God bless you..."
Ted Riley Thompson, Fresno, California
"If there wasn't for you I believe that I would still be suffering."
From my age of 29 I was just a patient and it seemed that that's all I do. I was just thinking about doctor's appointments, making phone calls, immunologists, nephrologists for my kidney, pulmonologists for my lungs, dermatologists for my facial rash. And I was still sick. Nothing helped. I felt like all hope was gone.
When I started your program I was very skeptical but I sticked to it and I swear that I could see results within days. I would just wake up to see that some of the spots on my face are gone. I was getting increasingly better every day. It was a very exciting time..."
Emily Hannigan, Dubbo, Australia
"My ACE levels went from 92 to 34 in one month. My doctor was shocked."
You should see the look on my doctor's face when I went for the test and told him that I got this book of the internet that was talking about why Chinese don't get sarcoidosis.
Okay, I was feeling much better and that could be just in my head, but I wanted to test my ACE levels that were sky high before I started your program. The results were amazing. Thank you for coming into my life."
Jamie Dermond, Raleigh, N.C.
"Your program saved me from kidney transplant."
The living hell of sarcoidosis lasted for over 4 years for me. I was able to control the sarcoidosis in my lungs, but my kidneys were progressively worse over that time span until mid last year when my doctor told me that I should be put on the list for kidney transplants. He explained that if my sarcoidosis progresses further I would probably need a kidney transplant by mid 2011.
I got your ebook in September last year. I started following your program and I could feel the change right away. Actually, in a couple of months my doctor told me that almost all my kidney tests were fine. He could not hide his surprise. I am so thankful for all the help and all the hard work..."
Julia Durmond, Mesa, Arizona
"Reversed my sarcoidosis and allowed me to live a full life again."
I was diagnosed with sarcoidosis 5 years ago. They first feared it was lymphoma but soon realized that I was suffering from advanced sarcoidosis.
Even when I got your book I thought it was another things I'll try and fail. Those who suffer know that feeling that there is no hope, that feeling that you can't imagine getting better.
Well, the first time I woke up and told myself , "hey, I feel really good, I can breathe" changed it all. I started believing that my life was not over and that there is hope. Today, 3 month later, I am a new person, my lung capacity is back to over 90% and my granulomas are almost completely dissolved..."
Gema Brown, Dubbo, Australia
There's no room for mistake here.

Orchard Mesa stabbing fatal
A 27-year-old Florida man was stabbed early Sunday morning, then went knocking on doors in an Orchard Mesa neighborhood in an attempt to get help before dying on the front yard of a residence, officials said.
Nicholas Allen Potts, of North Miami, died shortly after 4 a.m. on the front yard of 1254 Santa Clara Ave., about a block away from where he was reportedly stabbed on Christopher Court, according to the Grand Junction Police Department.
Lee McDonald, 25, of Grand Junction was taken in for questioning at the scene and later was arrested Sunday on suspicion of first-degree murder, the Police Department said.
His booking photo was not released.
The Police Department said Potts was stabbed on Christopher Court, then ran through the neighborhood — Christopher Court intersects with Santa Clara Avenue — knocking on doors for help as McDonald followed him.
Potts died outside 1254 Santa Clara Ave. near the end of the block where it intersects with Pinon Street, the Police Department said.
The Mesa County Coroner ruled Potts' death a homicide from multiple stab wounds.
Most of the 1200 block of Santa Clara Avenue was taped off for the investigation early Sunday.

Tesla IPO Launches Unexpectedly High at $17/Share, Company is Worth $1.33B USD

IPO gives electric vehicle startup plenty of cash to work with
A vital chapter in Tesla Motors' history has now been written, with the company's first public stock offering. The epic success should help Tesla flourish in the short term and help its financially troubled founder, as well.
The stock release comes as the company prepares its entry-level Model S luxury sedan to bring electric vehicles to the masses. The compan also is working on plans for a
Cabriolet replacement
to its
, which is being phased out, an electric SUV/crossover, and an electric van.
Propelled by these ambitious plans the company's
entrance into the world of public trading
proved an emphatic success. The company raised over $226M USD from share purchases. Shares, which were expected to sell from between $14 and $16 sold for approximately $17. Additionally, where initially the company planned to release around 11.1 million shares, it was able to offer 13.3 million shares at this higher cost.
The initial public offering was the first for a U.S. automaker since Ford Motor Co. in 1956. That IPO was
significantly bigger
with 10.2 million shares sold, raising nearly $660 million (in 1956 dollars).
Still the Tesla Motors IPO was a tremendous success and should give the young company the money it needs to thrive. Tesla initially expected to get less than half of the sum it pulled in, initially seeking only $100M USD from stock purchases.
The IPO will also prove vital to Tesla Motors founder and CEO Elon Musk. Musk says he's
virtually out of money
. Musk, who invested $70M USD in Tesla, sold 909,212 shares raising $15.3M USD in much-needed cash.
His stake now drops from 36 percent to 28 percent after his sale. It should be noted that Tesla Motors as a whole only unloaded 17 percent of its shares to the public. That means that it is still primarily held by private owners -- the largest of which is Musk.
That also means that Tesla is now valued at roughly $1.33B USD, based on the price of publicly traded shares.
Stock has since risen to over
$21.50 a share
, earning those who purchased it initially, a healthy 25 percent gain. That price will likely drop somewhat on profit taking, but its certainly a promising sign for this new star.
"This week I got an iPhone. This weekend I got four chargers so I can keep it charged everywhere I go and a land line so I can actually make phone calls." -- Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg

Asparagus Beetle
Asparagus beetle Photo: Ann Whitman
These 1/4″ beetles and their larvae feed on young asparagus spears; damaged spears often develop blemishes and a shepherd's crook appearance.
One species of asparagus beetle is blue-black; another is orange with black spots. The larvae are small, greenish gray, humpbacked grubs with dark heads. You may spot damaged spears before you see the pests themselves.
Beetles and larvae also feed on asparagus fronds later in the season. Adult beetles emerge in early spring after overwintering on old asparagus fronds or in garden debris. Adults lay shiny black eggs on the spears; the eggs hatch about a week later. There may be two to five generations of this pest each year. Some asparagus beetle damage is usually not a problem, but if you observe adult beetles on 5 to 10 percent of your plants and/or larvae on half of your plants, it's time to control this pest. Asparagus beetles are common throughout the U.S.Prevention and Control
- Keep spears harvested to reduce the opportunity for egg-laying.
- Cover your patch with garden fabric until harvest ends.
- Handpick adults or knock them into a container of soapy water.
- In fall, clean up garden debris to minimize overwintering. Once asparagus fronds turn yellow, cut them off at or just above soil level. Destroy the fronds.

Russian authorities have dropped criminal cases against 30 Greenpeace activists from the ship Arctic Sunrise, the environmental group's lawyer said Wednesday.
"All activists have arrived in front of the investigative committee of St. Petersburg to be familiarised with the decision," Xinhua quoted Andrei Suchkov as telling the Interfax news agency.
By Wednesday afternoon, 16 activists had received formal resolutions closing their cases. The committee was expected to issue resolutions to the rest by the end of the day.
All non-Russian activists would then be free to leave the country, their lawyer said.
The activists were detained Sep 19 by Russian authorities after attempting to stage a protest on an Arctic oil drilling platform.
The cases were dropped in conjunction with an amnesty granted this month to about 25,000 prisoners by the State Duma, or lower house of parliament.

Ajax Event Calendar
Some time ago I had a "passionate love affair" with the Interakt Calendar. It has been deeply missed since Adobe annihilated so many of the really nice Interakt products.
So I am happy to see this product entering the market.
However I would like to see more functionality. I would like to see this product more thightly integrated with solutions such as DMXZone calendar. I will definitely start using this product but still look forward to the next version.
The script looks nice but I was unable to get it to actually work. Tech Support seems to think it's beacuse I have my production server and testing server as one physical server or I'm setting it up wrong in Dreamweaver 5.5. Both maybe true, I don't know.
But since I have 132 sites on the server and am connecting via php to 115 mySQL databases for everything from ecommerce to dental chart audit system all written in PHP I hesitate to change my server configuration for a calendar script.
dmxZone still creates some great Dreamweaver extension in my opinion, but I think this one may need a little more attention or a wider lattitude in its connection criteria.
I recently purchased this extention and found it to be very buggy! When engaged support they were not very helpful and in fact kept resolving my open issue even though I continued to have issues with this. I have been a DMX Zone user for many years and rarely had issues. However with this experience I'm hesitant to purchase any further extensions. Very disappointed how this was handled!

Despite objections from neighbors near a property at 2511 Croixwood Blvd., Stillwater City Council members approved a one-year trial for Claire Sand to own bees and engage in beekeeping on her property.
"We received her beekeeping application, notified the neighbors as necessary and had several letters and calls of concern come in, and that is why this issue is before you tonight," Community Development Director Bill Turnblad said.
The plans Sand submitted for the beehive meet all specifications necessary to comply with the permit and exceeded some of the requirements, such as including a 30-foot space between the properties abutting her yard and a six-foot-tall flyaway fence set up so that the bees follow an upwards flight path. She's also planning on installing a water source with scented water to make sure that the bees are drawn directly to the hive and away from neighbors' pools.
"Fifteen years ago I became interested in bees, which was strange because I've never been a fan of anything with more than four legs ever," Sand said. "And as I learned more about what was happening to them and our environment, I began to think about doing something to help. Maybe turning 50 had something to do with it this year, but I decided that life was too short and I wanted to start beekeeping as a hobby.
"I did my research, I met with the honeybee club, and as the idea became more solid, I knew I would have to talk to my neighbors about it. I invited them to an evening to learn more, and no one showed up unfortunately."
At least five neighbors, out of the 14 that were notified about the issue in accordance with the current ordinance, showed up to the council meeting to oppose a permit.
Concerns expressed by neighbors included worry for friends and family members with bee sting allergies, the upkeep of their sheds if they would be impacted by the bees' urine, bees flying into nearby pools, the fact that many people are outside in the summer and a feeling that an increase in bees could be detrimental to quality of life and real estate opportunities. They also expressed a tremendous fear of swarms.
"My wife and I are against the issue of bees," Sand's neighbor Bruce Claussen said. "We live in a caul-de-sac, and there are lots of children running around. Our neighbors entertain frequently, as do we, and some are allergic, as am I. When there's good weather there are more children and adults present. Many of us have gardens, and there's absolutely no problem when it comes to pollination. Yes, there are beekeepers in neighborhoods throughout Stillwater, but there's not one in ours. My other neighbors have an issue with it as well, and we are against it."
Some other beekeepers who were present in support of Sand spoke to the neighbors fears, thanking them for bringing their concerns forward and not just blindly objecting to the bees without doing some research.
"Since I know there have been many concerns expressed by the neighbors here, I think I'd like to suggest to the council to look into a possible one-year trial period as they've done for others," Elizabeth Welty said. "In the past when there have been trial periods, most people don't notice a difference in the amount of bees near their property. Honestly, my bees are dispersed throughout everyone's yards in the city of Stillwater. Last year I didn't see my bees ever until the late, late season when pickings are slim for nectar."
When it came to swarms, Welty said that they are not dangerous and someone could even put an ungloved hand through the swarm without being stung. She admitted that they looked scary, but also said that swarms for beekeepers are bad. It means they aren't taking very good care of their hives, and most beekeepers will work hard to prevent swarms, because when swarms occur, the bees die. She added that the Stillwater honeybee club also has a network of beekeepers who can be called to take care of swarms.
The police and fire chief said that no reports of swarms have been made since the ordinance allowing bees went into effect more than a year ago.
"Beekeepers put thousands of dollars into their hobby," Welty said. "It's a huge investment they don't want to lose."
The council approved a one-year trial permit for Sand. It was approved 4-1 with councilmember Mike Polehna dissenting.

Currently I'm playing around with 'narcissus'. As far as understand it this an implementation of JavaScript in JavaScript which was done by Brendan Eich for prototyping JavaScript 2.0.
The general idea is to use the parser of 'narcissus'. The parsed code is available as a JavaScript data structure. I hope to come up with a some JavaScript that takes that syntax tree and generates PIR.
Once everything is working one could take the whole JavaScript code and compile it to PIR. This would give JavaScript fo

What Diddy and Pharrell eat in flight: Before boarding a private jet last week, Puff Daddy (Diddy) and Pharrell Williams ordered pan-roasted salmon, kale salad, tuna tartare, diver sea scallops, Caesar salad, and shrimp and crab cakes from New York's Delicatessen restaurant -- to eat in-flight.
