Cheap and Legal MP3 Downloads
If you want to legally download music from the Internet, but want the cheapest files possible, then your best bet is to download from Russian websites. "Why is that?" I hear you say - well, it turns out that due to the copyright laws in Russia, it is legal for Russian websites to offer MP3s at ridiculously low prices, and it seems is legal for many parts of the world to download these files as you're essentially buying the music from Russia - where it's legal!
So, sign up at any site below that takes your fancy to get the best deals on cheap, legal MP3s!
Iomoio (I don't know how to say it either) is the latest Russian site to offer chart MP3 albums and songs for a very low price. Every song is just 16¢ (about 10p) and the quality of each MP3 track varies from around 192 kbps all the way up to 320 kbps for the same price.
Whereas the other sites reviewed look and feel very unique and are visually stunning, Iomoio focuses on usability and that shows as the website is very easy to use (and still looks great). Their search facility is apparently "typo-resistant", meaning you can find the song you want to download very quickly.
On top of all this, they offer great bonuses and reward schemes - for example, if you top up your account with $30, $50, or $100, you get the same amount added to your account again for nothing!
I'm not exactly sure what the "ike" bit means, but regardless of that, I would say that Soundike.com is without doubt the best designed site amongst all of the sites mentioned on this page.
Of course, the way the site looks is not a good measure of the service they provide, so you will be pleased to hear that downloads from the site are very quick and that every song on the site is only $0.15!
MP3 Caprice is another new website that offers very cheap MP3 downloads. As you can see by it's position on this page, it's not bad at all. They also have the lowest deposit amount of all the sites at just $10. And when you add this amount of credit, you even get an extra $1 for free! If you deposit $100 (there are also $25 and $50 options), they give you a bonus $40!
It isn't the cheapest website on this list with every song costing 12¢ - not that $0.12 is extortionate by any stretch of the imagination! - but with every song in their catalogue being 320kbps (that's a very high bitrate, good enough for excellent CD quality music), then their prices really are excellent value for money.
One of the features that makes MP3 Caprice stand out is the ability to contribute to the site in exchange for bonuses on your account. For example, you can add a review to an album for a $1 bonus, which is enough to download 8 songs! Another incentive they offer is a refer-a-friend scheme, for which your account will be credited $10 if you recommend their site to someone who subsequently signs up and refills their balance.
MediaSack offer both cheap music and movies, which is a real benefit of their store. The music is just $0.10 per track, and you can download a lot of movies in their lowest quality version for free if you have over $1 in your account. You can also pay for movies in upto 1080 full HD quality, but as this page is just about MP3 music files, we won't go into the details of those here.
The first benefit of becoming a member with MediaSack is that you are rewarded with $1 into your account for doing so. That may not sound a huge amount, but it allows you to download 10 tracks for free, which is great! When compared to some of the other sites reviewed on this page, MediaSack doesn't appear to have the largest collection of music available to download, but we're sure you'll be able to find most, if not all, of the music you want.
Unfortunately, the search facility on the site seems a bit "hit and miss" - sometimes it works, sometimes you have to try a few times to make it work correctly, but that's really the only minor point to the site. You are able to add credit to your account through Visa and MasterCard and the top-up amounts are fairly reasonable, with the cheapest being $19.99. Regardless of how much credit you add, you will be rewarded with bonus credit. At this lowest top-up band, you receive an extra $10.01, and at the upper band ($99.99) you get a massive $150.01 for free!
Whilst it isn't the cheapest website on this page, the main advantage PayPlay has over its competitors is the size of its music archive. There are currently well over 5 million tracks in their collection, comprising almost half a million albums. So if the music you are looking for is a little hard to find, PayPlay may be the best place to start looking.
Naturally, though, their prices still aren't anywhere near what you would pay to other websites or service, with each track costing just 20¢ (or 13p in GBP). As an extra incentive, you get rewarded enough credit for 2 free downloads after confirming your email address after registering.
At MelodiShop, you can find almost any song you are looking for, and pay just $0.10 per track. That's right, each MP3 song costs just 10¢ each!
They have lots of bonus incentives too, such as when you top up your balance with some credit, they will give you some extra credit for free. How much this free credit is varies depending on their current promotion, so the best way to find out how much you can save is to visit their site.
Their site is sweet and simple - no frills, but plenty of savings to be made on the latest chart releases.
MP3 Million is another excellent site from which to download the latest music for a fraction of the cost of mainstream marketplaces. It's design doesn't leap out at you, but then that works in it's favor as it makes the site very easy to use, especially when searching for track you are looking for.
It's prices are very competitive also, being just 10¢ per track, regardless of length or quality. Account top-up options start from just $15, for which no extra credit is given, but if you purchase $30 credit you are awarded with an extra $15; Top up with $50 and MP3 Million will double your credit balance, and add $100 will better that by getting you a whopping $125 extra added to your account!
So, while not being a stand-out website, as you can see, it is a very viable option with some really great features.
Thanks to Buy Cheap MP3s for all of this information!

FLORHAM PARK, N.J. (AP) – New York Jets tight end Kellen Winslow Jr. was suspended without pay for four games Friday by the NFL for violating the league's policy on performance enhancing substances.
Winslow, the team's leading receiver with 17 catches, is immediately beginning his suspension, meaning he will sit out the Jets' game Sunday against the Pittsburgh Steelers
Cornerback Antonio Cromartie was listed as questionable on the Jets' injury report Friday after hyperextending a knee during practice Thursday.
Coach Rex Ryan announced that the cornerback will be a game-time decision Sunday. Cromartie was injured when he tried to change direction on a goalline drill during the portion of practice the media aren't permitted to watch.
Cromartie's status is uncertain. Winslow is certainly out.
"It came as a huge surprise to me when I learned that I tested positive for a banned substance," Winslow said in a statement issued by his publicist. "I have investigated all possible sources since learning of the positive test, including possible medical causes, but frustratingly, I do not know the source.
"I do not take supplements that list any banned ingredients, but the NFL policy is very strict, so I am accountable for the results."
He will be eligible to return to the Jets' active roster Nov. 4, following New York's game against New Orleans Nov. 3.
The Jets have a bye week after they play the Saints, so Winslow's next opportunity to play would be Nov. 17 at Buffalo.
"I sincerely apologize to my teammates, coaches and Jets fans for this situation," Winslow said. "I will work extremely hard during this time away from the field and look forward to contributing to the team as soon as the suspension ends."
Winslow had been listed as doubtful on the Jets' injury report Friday, and coach Rex Ryan excused him from participating in practice but declined to go into details.
"I'd rather not get into it," Ryan said. "I excused him. I'll just say that."
The 30-year-old Winslow, in his first year with the Jets, has been dealing with a balky right knee all season that kept him out of practice all week. He hasn't missed any games, though, and had two touchdown catches, including one in New York's 30-28 victory at Atlanta Monday night.
But he didn't speak to reporters after the win, and uncharacteristically chose to not speak in the locker room after practice all week. That led to speculation that perhaps he was unhappy with his role in the offense. Last season, Winslow played in just one game with New England before asking to be released because he anticipated a lack of playing time behind Rob Gronkowski and Aaron Hernandez.
Ryan said Friday that he hadn't been approached by Winslow about his role, which is the No. 2 tight end behind Jeff Cumberland. He was unsure, however, if Winslow had spoken to offensive coordinator Marty Mornhinweg.
"We have to look at it this way: We have a really good tight end in Jeff Cumberland, and this is a guy who's a young stud tight end," Ryan said. "You look at him, he's a big guy, can block and he does a nice job receiving. He's a good player."
Before the suspension was announced, Ryan was asked if he expected Winslow to remain with the team, and the coach answered simply, "Yes."
Ryan was then asked if he thought Winslow might not want to remain with the team.
"I think you'd have to ask him those types of questions," Ryan said. "What I can tell you about Kellen is he's done a tremendous job here and a guy, and I laughed about it, I said he's a warrior. He wasn't lying when he said that. We got the video out of it. But that's him: a great competitor.
"That's what he's brought here."
It is likely that tight end Zach Sudfeld, claimed off waivers from New England last week, will make his debut with the Jets on Sunday with Winslow out. Along with Cumberland, New York also has Konrad Reuland on the roster at the position.
Since Winslow will be placed on the suspended list, the Jets will have an open spot on their 53-man roster.
Winslow was offered a tryout by the Jets in minicamp in June, and signed him a few days later. The former Pro Bowl tight end had a terrific debut, catching a team-leading seven passes for 79 yards and a touchdown. He is only two years removed from catching 75 passes for Tampa Bay in 2011, but his surgically repaired right knee made him a low-risk, high-reward option for the Jets.

Saskatoon quadrupling sidewalk repair budget for 2014
SASKATOON – The City of Saskatoon will be spending $1.8 million on sidewalk repairs in 2014, nearly four times the amount spent in 2013.
The sidewalk rehabilitation program will see about six kilometres of sidewalk repaired this year, up from a total of 1.7 km last year.
Major sidewalk repairs have already been completed along Assiniboine Drive between Warman Road and Ravine Drive and Eastlake Avenue between 10th and 12th Streets.
"The new funding allows us to treat and replace sidewalk sections or panels that have significant trip hazards, extensive cracking, missing sections and severe deterioration," said Mike Gutek, director of major projects for the city.
Gutek added the repairs will take place in conjunction with roadway projects to minimize the impact on motorist and pedestrians.
An average block in Saskatoon is 165 metres, meaning around 36 blocks can be replaced in 2014.
Future planned funding increases will allow the City to fix more sidewalks.
"With a properly funded rehabilitation program, we can improve the condition of sidewalks with patches, crack filling and replacements," said Gutek.
"Residents will start to see sidewalk conditions improve over the next few years as funding levels increase."

US has run out of ideas for peace
However many times Barack Obama repeats mantras of the type "two states, Israel and Palestine, living side by side in peace and security", the conclusion that the United States has no further clue on how to forge alasting Middle East peace is increasingly inescapable.
This time the American president was speaking in Indonesia, his boyhood home and the largest Muslim country on the planet. But it could have been anywhere. In fact, it could have been any American leader, certainly either one of his two predecessors - Bill Clinton or George W Bush - who both (as Bush revealed in his memoirs this week) seemingly came within a whisker of forging a two-state solution during their presidencies.
If Mr Bush and Mr Clinton failed to bring an end to the conflict when Israel was offering everything but the kitchen sink, only to face flat out rejection from the Palestinians, what conceivable formulation could Mr Obama come up with to break the impasse now? The answer is that there is no such formulation, and he knows it. And he knows it because, like every administration before him, he has run into the problem that ultimately the Palestinians do not accept the legitimacy of a Jewish state in the Middle East and will therefore look for any excuse to avoid signing up to a deal - or in this case, even talking about one.
The excuse du jour, of course, is the settlements - an excuse so lame it would be laughable but for the fact that our senses have been numbed to reality by the fetishisation of the issue in the Western media. Why would the construction of new homes in areas which the Palestinians agree would become part of Israel under any conceivable peace deal pose the slightest obstacle to holding talks? Problematic settlements have been torn down before, and Prime Minister Netanyahu, this week on tour in the US, has in any case offered to freeze construction if only the Palestinians will recognise Israel as a Jewish state. This, of course, they will not do. But rather than face up to the implications of that stark and unyielding statement on Palestinian rejectionism, we are invited to engage in a fiction about the alleged centrality to peace talks of some Jewish family in east Jerusalem building itself a bathroom extension.
Even the Palestinians recognize this is all sounding like a broken record. Which is why they have been making loud noises in the past couple of weeks about shifting the whole pantomime to the United Nations. The latest ruse to avoid full recognition for a Jewish state in the Middle East is to get the Security Council, or at least the General Assembly, to recognise a (fully militarised) Palestinian state on 1967 lines following a unilateral declaration of independence in the middle of 2011.
It's a recipe for disaster since Israel would never acquiesce in it and Palestinian terror groups could use such a declaration as a justification for violence against an Israel no longer portrayed as a mere "occupier" but now as an "invader". Nonetheless, a shift along such lines is very much on the cards with France now the latest Western country to give it a nod of approval. Mr Obama's position remains that a solution can only be negotiated between the parties. But it will be interesting to see how long he can hold the line. At some point even he is going to get bored of repeating the same old mantras.

Katie Morgan
Katie Morgan is a blonde, girly-voiced veteran and certified star of over 200 adult films. In the October 5, 2008 episode of Entourage, she's the porn star in the convertible who endures a rejected proposal from Vince and the boys in the RV.
AppealSuccessful female porn stars, by definition, have sex appeal to spare (otherwise they wouldn't be successful), and Katie Morgan, along with her 34D-22-34 body, is no exception. A large part of her appeal in the adult film industry comes from her high-pitched voice, youthful looks and enthusiasm, but this is a persona -- a well-honed act.
Don't let the ditz fool you: Katie Morgan's HBO specials, in particular, show off her skills as a keen and engaging communicator -- seriously. The woman is leagues brighter than she lets on, and this adds to her sex appeal.
SuccessIn her industry, Katie Morgan has received multiple nominations and awards from the Adult Video News, dating back to 2003's Best New Starlet nomination, and her work has frequently been recognized by the X-Rated Critics Organization (XRCO) as well as Genesis Magazine, which named her most popular porn star and placed her on the magazine's Hot One Hundred list numerous times.
In the mainstream, along with her appearance on Entourage, Katie Morgan has a small role in an upcoming Kevin Smith movie, perhaps suggesting she has her eye on making that difficult, but not impossible, transition.
Katie Morgan BiographyKatie Morgan was born Sarah Crowley into a conservative Christian family in Los Angeles in 1980. She grew up all over the L.A. area, but she didn't attend a public high school; rather, her parents home-schooled her, allowing her to finish high school at age 16.
She began attending junior college, finding work as a waitress, a clerk and even the manager of a pet store. Then, while traveling by car from Mexico into California, agents at the border found 100 pounds of marijuana in the car, and she was arrested. While out on bail, she needed money, so she filmed her first adult film. After spending four months in jail, Katie Morgan went back to porn.
katie morgan earns the title porn starOver the next couple of years, Katie Morgan starred in scores of adult videos and eventually feature-length films, working with a slew of major adult studios, including Wicked, Vivid, Private, Club Jenna, Hustler, Penthouse, and Playboy.
The term "porn star" is typically attached to anyone appearing in a porn, but Katie Morgan earned the title, becoming one of the industry's most popular stars and being in constant demand to shoot more and more films.
katie morgan joins up with hboIn 2003, Katie Morgan began her well-known association with HBO, starting with the six-part series Pornucopia: Going Down in the Valley in 2004. That was followed by Katie Morgan, A Porn Star Revealed on the network's Real Sex series, and in 2007, she hosted Porn 101, a lighthearted look at the history of sex and pornography.
katie morgan appears on entourageIn the October 5, 2008 episode of Entourage entitled "Tree Trippers," Katie Morgan appears as herself, riding with three other young women in a slick convertible alongside the Winnebago where Vince and the boys are being driven by Eric Roberts. Turtle recognizes her instantly, but even though Katie Morgan and her friends invite them along to Vegas, the boys decline -- they have an appointment with Joshua Tree and some magic mushrooms.
On Halloween 2008, audiences will see Katie Morgan will make her mainstream film debut in the Kevin Smith film Zack and Miri Make a Porno, starring Seth Rogen and Elizabeth Banks.

Quick hits and notes from Virginia's come-from-behind 70-62 win over NC State in front of 16,289 fans at the RBC Center Saturday afternoon.
Play of the game
For the first time in quick hits history, it is not an actual play on the court but a coaching move. Virginia first-year coach Tony Bennett made a strategic decision during the official timeout with 11:20 left in the game to go with a four-guard lineup and junior power forward Mike Scott playing the post. The move paid off big-time. At the timeout, NC State led 45-36 and seemingly had complete control of the game. Virginia played with the small lineup for the rest of the game though and outscored the Pack 34-17 en route to their eight-point win.
NC State maintained their normal lineup, but they were unable to effective defend the Cavalier guards or take advantage of the small lineup on the other end.
Player of the game
Virginia sophomore guard Sylven Landesberg is one of the top players in the league, so it's no surprise that he had a good game Saturday. Landesberg was the best player on the court, scoring a game-high 23 points on 7-of-14 shooting and making all eight of his free throw attempts. He also added five rebounds, a steal and a crucial block shot when NC State senior forward Dennis Horner tried to post Landesberg only to have Landesberg reject him.
Turning point of the game
Bennett made the move of the game with his subtle lineup adjustment, but that came at exactly the turning point of the contest. Horner drove baseline and appeared to have a three-point play opportunity coming, but official Mike Wood called a charge on Horner much to NC State's surprise.
Wolfpack head coach Sidney Lowe argued before and after the official timeout that the defender was under the basket and therefore it should have been an automatic blocking call. After the game Lowe complained to the media about the lack of a line on the court to help officials determine when a player is under the basket. On UVA's next possession junior guard Jeff Jones drained a three-pointer to cut State's lead to 45-39 with 11:12 left in the game.
Free throw shooting
NC State entered the game ranked eighth in the ACC shooting 65.1 percent from the line, while UVA was second in the league at 72.7 percent. The difference in free throw shooting was striking Saturday afternoon, and for the second straight loss the Pack can point to their effort at the line as a major reason why they lost.
UVA made 19 of 20 free throws, including their last 17. NC State was just 16 of 26 for 61.5 percent. Not a single Wolfpack player made all their free throws, and six NC State players attempted at least two. Fifth-year senior guard Farnold Degand was just 2 of 4 two games after going a costly 1 of 5 against Florida. Junior Tracy Smith went 6 of 10.
NC State was just 9 of 16 at the line in the second half, and they missed four times at the line, including a stretch of going just 2 of 6 after taking a 42-33 lead with 12:57 to go in the game. UVA went on a 15-6 run during that span of almost seven minutes to tie the game at 48.
Virginia's 95.0 percent free throw shooting was the second best effort ever in the RBC Center with a minimum of 12 attempts. Ironically the Cavs hold the record when they went 12 of 12 at the line in 2003. NC State won that game 86-69 though.
Thurl Bailey day
As part of celebrating the 100th anniversary of NC State basketball, the Pack honored Thurl Bailey, a star forward on the 1983 national title team.
Also spotted at the game was junior forward Jacob Lawson from Oak Ridge (N.C.) Military Academy.
What the loss means
NC State is now 11-5 on the year but also fell to 0-2 in the ACC. Virginia is 9-4 and 1-0 in the conference. The Cavs have won five straight games, including an upset over then-No. 24 UAB Dec. 30 in Charlottesville.
NC State now holds an 80-55 lead in the all-time series against the Wahoos. Virginia is just 18-38 in Raleigh and 3-7 at the RBC Center. This was just the third time in the last 12 tries that Virginia has beaten NC State on the Pack's home court. The two teams will meet again Feb. 3 in Charlottesville, where NC State is 23-35.
Virginia has now won three of its last four ACC openers after enduring an 11-year losing streak on conference openers. Ironically that streak ended when the Cavaliers knocked off NC State four years ago. For State, the Pack has started 0-2 in conference action every year under Lowe.
Other stats of note
• Virginia had a 36-30 edge on the glass, 9-8 on the offensive board and 7-6 in second change points. The Pack has been outrebounded in three of its last four games.
• NC State won the turnover margin 10-9, but Virginia had a 13-10 advantage in points off turnovers. Virginia had six steals and four blocks compared to just two a piece for State.
• The Cavs were more effective in transition and in the paint. Virginia had an 8-2 lead in fast break points and 28-22 advantage in interior scoring.
• There were nine ties and 11 lead changes in the back-and-forth affair.
• Horner and Degand both fouled out of the game, the first time this year NC State had two players fouled out. Smith had actually been the only Wolfpack player to been disqualified with five fouls in a contest this year.

IN-FORM winger Ben Marshall says Blackburn Rovers can have 'no excuses' for failing to perform in today's crunch Championship clash with high-flying Derby County at Ewood Park.
Rovers go into the game four points behind the final play-off spot and 10 points behind Derby in fourth after they went down 4-1 at Nottingham Forest last weekend.
Marshall admits that tiredness may have played a part in Gary Bowyer's side's first league loss of 2014 as it came less than 72 hours after their FA Cup replay at Manchester City.
But after a week to prepare for the visit of the Rams Marshall, who scored Rovers' consolation against Forest, insists that will not be the case this afternoon.
Marshall said: "We're at home and we've got a good record at home so we'll be confident.
"We've had a good week's rest in the lead up so there can be no excuses.
"We'll hopefully come out of the blocks fast like Forest did to us and take the game to Derby."
Rovers found themselves two down inside 34 minutes at the City Ground before Marshall curled in a 20-yard shot to halve the deficit.
It was the £1m signing's second goal for Rovers since his move from Leicester City.
Marshall fell out of favour at the Foxes in the second half of last season and he admits he had to work hard on his fitness to get fully up to speed.
He said: "I feel match fit now, I'm playing and my confidence is up.
"This is where I wanted to be when I first came to the club and I feel like I'm producing for the team.
"I've just got to stay fit, keep getting goals and assists and try and help us get up the league."
Rovers assistant manager Terry McPhillips knows all about Marshall's talents having originally worked with him when he was a youngster at Crewe Alexandra.
McPhillips is delighted that the 22-year-old has found his feet after a stop-start beginning to his Rovers career but he has thrown down the gauntlet to Marshall to score more goals.
"Ben's form has been excellent," said McPhillips. "He had to be patient to get his chance but when he got into the team he's stayed in the team.
"He's got two goals now and I think it's going to be important that he scores goals as well as makes them."

Former WCW wrestler Al Green passed away this morning at the age of 58. He had reportedly been battling health issues for a while.
Green was originally trained by Steve Keirn, and worked as one half of the Master Blasters tag team with Kevin Nash. He also worked with Road Warrior Animal's brother Marcus Laurinaitis as one half of the Terminators in the US and Japan. The team got a run in 1993 WCW as The Wrestling Crew, and from there had runs in Otto Wanz' CWA and in All Japan Pro Wrestling in 1995. Green had a final run back with WCW in the company's dying days, with the gimmick "The Dog."
For the last few years, Green had been suffering from chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), which is a progressive disease that makes it hard to breathe. He had to use an oxygen tank full time.
On behalf of all of us here on the website, I would like to extend out condolences to the family, friends and fans of Mr. Green.

Yes you can absolutely get in shape at 50 years old and beyond! In fact, experts recommend being physically active for all seniors. One of the most significant factors of quality of life for older adults is the ability to live independently, and the mobility and functioning of frail and very old adults can be improved by regular physical activity. For midlife and older adults of all ages and abilities, adopting regular physical activity as part of a healthy lifestyle may extend years of active independent life, reduce or prevent chronic disease and disability, and improve overall quality of life.
Individuals over age 50 who wish to pursue sports and performance goals can also have success in this area of fitness. Some seniors manage to maintain remarkable physical abilities well into their eighties and nineties and represent the physically elite of older adults. This group is made up of athletes who continue to train and push themselves into their sixties, seventies, and eighties, as well as individuals who keep working in occupations that require strength and endurance (e.g., fire fighters, police, military personnel, and forest rangers) who maintain their abilities through physical training. Just like people of all ages, older adults can capitalize on their performance potential by maintaining healthy behaviors such as physical training and eating a good diet, and from abstaining from poor health habits such as smoking and drug and alcohol abuse.
Exercise recommendations for older adults are similar to those for the rest of the adult population and include a regular program of aerobic, resistance, flexibility, and balance training. Even people with health limitations are encouraged to add exercise to their daily routines because being physically active improves most health problems. Before engaging in a new exercise program, it is recommended to visit with a healthcare provider who can assess your readiness for physical activity. Then, for safe and effective exercise program design as well as motivational strategies and support, meeting with a qualified personal fitness trainer or health coach would be well worth your time.

I HAD only seen one half of Monte Rosa ; and from the Italian side the aspect of the mountain was unknown to me. I had been upon the Monte Moro three years ago, but looked from it merely into an infinite sea of haze. To complete my knowledge of the mountain it was necessary to go to Macugnaga, and over the More I accordingly resolved to go. But resolution had as yet taken no deep root, and on reaching Saas I was beset by the desire to cross the Alphubel. Bennen called me at three ; but over the pass grey clouds were hanging, and, determined not to mar this fine excursion by choosing an imperfect day, I then gave it up. At seven o'clock, however, all trace of cloud had disappeared ; it had been merely a local gathering of no importance, which the first sunbeams resolved into transparency. It was now, however, too late to think of the Alphubel, so I reverted to my original design, and at 9 A.M. started up the valley towards Mattmark. A party of friends in advance contributed strongly to draw me on in this direction.
Onward then we went through the soft green meadows, with the river sounding to our right. The sun showered gold upon the pines, and brought richly out the colouring of the rocks. The blue wood-smoke ascended from the hamlets, and the companionable grasshopper sang and chirruped right and left. High up the sides of the mountains the rocks were planed down to tablets by the ancient glaciers. The valley narrowed, and we skirted a pile of moraine-like matter, which was roped compactly together by the roots of the pines. Huge blocks here choke the channel of the river, and raise its murmurs to a roar. We emerge from shade into sunshine, and observe the smoke of a distant cataract jetting from the side of the mountain. Crags and boulders are here heaped in confusion upon the hill-side, and among them the hardy trees find a lodgment, asking no nutriment from the stonesasking-only a pedestal on which they may plant their trunks and lift their branches into the nourishing air. Then comes the cataract itself, plunging in rhythmic gushes down the shining rocks.
The valley again opens, and finds room for a little hamletdingy hovels, with a white little church in the midst of them ; patches of green meadow and yellow rye, with the gleam of the river here and there. The moon hangs over the Mischabelhörner turning a face which ever waxes paler towards the sun. The valley in the distance seems shut in by the Allalein glacier, which is approached amid the waterworn boulders strewn by the river in its hours of turbulence. The rounded rocks are now beautified with lichens, and scattered trees glimmer among the heaps. Nature heals herself. She feeds the glacier and planes the mountains down. She fuses the glacier and exposes the dead rocks. But instantly her energies are exerted to neutralise the desolation, clothing the crags with beauty, and sending the wandering wind in melody through the branches of the pines.
At the Mattmark hotel, which stands at the foot of the Monte Moro, I was joined by a gentleman who had just liberated himself from an unpleasant guide. Bennen halted on the way to adjust his knapsack, while my companion and myself went on. We lost sight of my guide, lost the track also, and clambered over crag and snow to the summit, where we waited till Bennen arrived. The mass of Monte Rosa here grandly revealed itself from top to bottom. Dark cliffs and white snows were finely contrasted, and the longer I looked at it, the more noble and impressive did the mountain appear. We were very soon clear of the snow, and went straight down the declivity towards Macugnaga.
We put up at the Monte Moro, where a party of friends greeted me with a vociferous welcome. This was my first visit to Macugnaga, and, save as a caldron for the generation of fogs, I knew scarcely anything about it. But there were no fogs there at the time to which I refer, and the place wore quite a charmed aspect. I walked out alone in the evening, up through the meadows towards the base of Monte Rosa, and on no other occasion have I seen peace, beauty, and grandeur so harmoniously blended. Earth and air were exquisite, and I returned to, the hotel brimful of content.
Monte Rosa with her peaks and spurs builds here a noble amphitheatre. From the heart of the mountain creeps the Macugnaga glacier. To the right a precipitous barrier extends to the Cima di Jazzi, and between the latter and Monte Rosa this barrier is scarred by two couloirs, one of which, or the cliff beside it, has the reputation of forming the old pass of the Weissthor. It had long been uncertain whether this so-called ' Alter Pass' had ever been used as such, and many superior mountaineers deemed it from inspection to be impracticable. All doubt on this point was removed this year ; for Mr. Tuckett, led by Bennen, had crossed the barrier by the couloir most distant from Monte Rosa, and consequently nearest to the Cima di Jazzi. As I stood in front of the hotel in the afternoon, I said to Bennen that I should like to try the pass on the following day ; in ten minutes afterwards the plan of our expedition was arranged. We were to start before the dawn, and, to leave Bennen's hands free, a muscular young fellow named Andermatten was engaged to carry our provisions. It was also proposed to vary the proceedings by assailing the ridge by the couloir nearest to Monte Rosa.

Making It Work
Breastfeeding around Coworkers
From: NEW BEGINNINGS, Vol. 23 No. 2, March-April 2006, pp. 72-75
"Making It Work" is a regular feature of the magazine NEW BEGINNINGS, published bimonthly by La Leche League International. In this column, suggestions are offered by readers of NEW BEGINNINGS to help mothers who wish to combine breastfeeding and working. Various points of view are presented. Not all of the information may be pertinent to your family's lifestyle. This information is general in nature, and not intended to be advice, medical or otherwise.
Mother's Situation
I have an excellent, flexible daycare provider who is willing to bring my nearly one-year-old son to me at work to breastfeed him during my lunch. However, I have just started a new job with mostly male coworkers in an open office environment. Should I sneak out to the car to nurse my son when they arrive? Should I tell people what I am doing so that they don't think I am taking an unreasonably long break? Should I keep this to myself? How do other mothers cope in similar situations?
Mother's Response
It's wonderful when you can breastfeed your child at work—beats pumping any day! I work in an open office with two men and occasionally bring my toddler to work with me. They don't bat an eye when I breastfeed at my desk. I try to be as discreet as possible, for example, facing away from the center of the room, wearing a jacket or button-down shirt over my top to camouflage things a bit, and covering my daughter with her blanket. breastfeeding in my car or a toilet facility is not optimal for me, so I'm glad that my coworkers are fine with me breastfeeding at work. A lot of men are fathers, after all.
Another option is to use an empty office or conference room, if you prefer more privacy. However, I've found that when I'm blasé about breastfeeding, other people are, too. Take advantage of being able to nurse your son at work!

Mother's Response
How wonderful that you have found a flexible daycare provider who is willing to help you fulfill your special breastfeeding relationship with your son during your lunch break.
I believe the best way to handle your new situation is to tell your coworkers (and especially your supervisor) about your decision to nurse your son at lunch. You might be surprised at how many of your male coworkers have had a wife, sister, sister-in-law, or female friend who was able to arrange the same situation with their daycare provider. And if they haven't, then consider yourself an example on how to do it.
I am also just starting a new job and am fortunate enough to be leaving my nursling daughter with her stay-at-home daddy, who is finishing his master's degree in physics.
So there would be no surprises after I started my new job, I explained that I would need a place to pump when I first sat down with my prospective employer. It turned out that another employee had breastfed her child until the age of three, so there was already a place where I could pump and store my milk. My new manager even said I could use his office to pump, if need be. I was so glad that I brought the subject up right away because the reaction I received was completely supportive.
Good luck and give yourself a big pat on the back for making it to the one-year mark with breastfeeding your son!

Mother's Response
I went back to work full-time after my oldest son was born and was employed until the birth of my second child about two years later. Although I didn't have a daycare provider who could bring my son to me, I did pump at work until he was about 14 or 15 months old. I know pumping in an office and nursing in an open office environment are two different situations, but perhaps my experience can still help you.
I made a decision before my baby was born that I was going to be public about combining nursing and employment. I felt as though I had a responsibility not only to provide my baby with the best possible start in life, but also to serve as an educator, advocate, and role model for my coworkers.
First, I wrote my boss a letter prior to having my baby and set up a meeting with him. I explained why it was to my company's advantage for me to breastfeed and estimated how much time it would take to pump and leave at lunch to nurse. As a salaried employee, I didn't have to punch in and out on a time clock, but I did clearly articulate how I was planning to get the same amount of work accomplished in spite of these additions to my workday. I also instituted a proactive check-in process so I would know right away if my boss was having any concerns about my productivity. Incidentally, he never had a negative word to say! You might need to add a piece to your discussion about how you can accomplish breastfeeding discreetly and without distracting others. Even though we know breastfeeding is completely non-sexual, people in our culture have trouble viewing breasts as anything but sexual, so your boss may experience some angst about a potential sexual harassment issue if he or she isn't assured you will be discreet.
Next, every time I pumped, I put a funny sign on my door indicating what I was doing and a list of the advantages of breastfeeding in a big font. When someone came to my door, they couldn't help but read about why I was choosing to spend my time pumping. I had countless conversations with my coworkers about the benefits of breastfeeding, how I made nursing and employment work for me, and why I was committed to my choices. I found that the men asked more questions and were often more open than the women. Although my specific solutions might not apply for you, I hope you can take a few things away from my experience:
- I was relaxed, casual, and open about breastfeeding and pumping. I believe my coworkers took their cues about how to act from my attitude.
- I prepared myself with research. I found that when people were educated about the scientifically based reasons to nurse, they were more likely to support my choices without feeling that I was avoiding work.
- I was proactive about addressing people's concerns, especially with my boss. By letting people know how I was planning to handle my fair share in advance, I'd like to think I didn't allow people the opportunity to get bitter about any perceived unfairness.
- I believed I had a chance to make a difference on a bigger scale. I kept thinking that perhaps colleagues (or their partners) would be inspired to breastfeed because of what I was doing. At the very least, I felt like I was doing my part to make our culture a more breastfeeding aware and breastfeeding-friendly place.
Remember, it's okay to go to your car or any other private spot to nurse, if you prefer. The bottom line is, whether you nurse in the car or in your open office environment, you are giving your son a great gift!

I was fortunate enough to work where I have an office with a door, but staff members constantly come in and out to find charts or talk to me. Before I had my son, I made sure that everyone knew that I would be breastfeeding. On the days that my son came in during lunch, I told everyone that they were welcome to come in my office while I was breastfeeding or pumping if they needed something.
I conduct business with sales representatives who often want to schedule appointments to come talk with me. I would tell them I needed to feed my son and they could give me their sales pitch while I did. No one ever declined, so I hope that being matter of fact about it made them more comfortable. If you're straightforward about your plans to breastfeed and wear something that helps you be discreet, most people probably won't even notice when you're nursing!
Jennifer Armstrong

Mother's Response
Since my husband was laid off from work, I have been employed at a fast food restaurant that is pretty family-friendly. I told my boss when I was hired that I am a breastfeeding mother and need the same lunch time each day so I can nurse my little one at work. He was quite accepting as long as I didn't want to schedule it during a busy time.
I have chosen to nurse in our minivan. Since I'm wearing a uniform, I see myself as a representative of the business. I understand that some people are offended by a 16-month-old breastfeeding.
I normally nurse anywhere, and think nothing of it, often informing rude people about the benefits of breastfeeding. But since this is an employee situation, I choose to be more discreet. If I was nursing only around coworkers, I wouldn't think twice about it.
Most of my coworkers are young, unmarried teens. They ask why my husband comes each day with my 16-month-old and three-year-old. I have had many chances to talk about the benefits of breastfeeding with them, and have also shared what the World Health Organization and American Academy of Pediatrics have to say about extended breastfeeding. I've received positive feedback from my coworkers, and I hope I've helped plant the seed for them, as they soon will be coming into the age of marriage and children. Maybe the wife (or future wife) of one of your male coworkers will be supported more in her choice to breastfeed because of your example.

After the dog park, Boots and I wandered off to what has quickly become her favourite spot to visit when I choose to spend some one on one time with her. No dogs, no distractions and best of all no other souls in sight! After some obedience and training, I gave in to her demands and let her have some fun although by the first picture you'd probably think I'm the meanest owner alive. To be fair, my throws were terrible and I heard about it afterward.

Loblaw Extra Helping Food Drive Campaign Nearing Goal
By Grocery Headquarters Staff
With more than $1 million and 323,000 pounds of food donated across Canada during the Extra Helping Food Drive, Loblaw Companies is more than halfway to achieving its 2014 goal of $1.8 million and 1.8 million pounds of food. Albertans have helped to replenish food bank supplies in the province with $112,941 and 26,138 pounds of food donated by customers and colleagues Real Canadian Superstore, Loblaws, Your Independent Grocer, and no frills stores across the province during the Extra Helping Spring Food Drive of 2014. "Every month food banks in Alberta feed an average of 48,653 individuals—49 per cent of whom are children," said Stephanie Rigby, Executive Director at Alberta Food Banks, the provincial association of food banks. "Loblaw's food drive helps keep the shelves of food banks across the province stocked with healthy choices all year long." Loblaw's stores have a long history of supporting food banks in their local communities. In 2009, the company rebranded its efforts under the Extra Helping Food Drive, a bi-annual, national campaign to reduce hunger. Since then Loblaw stores have raised more than $8.5 million and more than 8.1 million pounds of food. In addition, through annual corporate donations, Loblaw Companies has contributed $1.37 million to date to Food Banks Canada in support of their National Food Sharing Program. "Year after year our customers contribute food items or add a few dollars to their grocery bill to ensure that families in their community have enough to eat," says Peggy Hornell, senior director, Community Investment, Loblaw Companies Limited. "It's because of this generosity that we can set the ambitious goal of raising $1.8 million and 1.8 million pounds of food, and know that it's within reach. Our spring food drive gets us more than half of the way to our annual goal, and gives us great hope for our holiday drive." Loblaw's Extra Helping Holiday Food Drive kicks off in December 2014 at Real Canadian Superstore, Loblaws, Your Independent Grocer, and no frills stores in communities across Alberta.

Many of the comments suggested with carved-in-stone certainty are quite specious because of the growing disuse and ignorance of the subjunctive forms in English. If the subjunctive WERE used more frequently we MIGHT/SHOULD/WOULD not be so confused.
You might have asked for past tense of 'may have' in which case I would have looked to choose 'might have'.

It's still a 2.0-litre turbo, running a development of the EA888 direct-injection turbo engine (plus manual or DSG gearboxes), but producing 10hp more with a new output of 220hp. More interesting still, Volkswagen has also confirmed a 'performance pack' version, boosting power to 230hp.
More significantly, the performance pack model also gets 17-inch front discs, an inch larger than standard, plus a development of VW's active front diff which engineering chief Dr Ulrich Hackenberg confirmed will significantly reduce understeer. VW calls it VAQ.
How potent is the performance pack variant? Well, it's already been timed at 13 seconds quicker than the standard car around the Nurburgring. What was that about it being a mere concept again? Alas, VW hasn't yet confirmed how the performance pack cars will be branded. We like the press pack suggestion of 'stage 1' and 'stage 2' though…
And the looks? Well, it's a Golf GTI. You'll know how it looks without even seeing it. Still, the Mk5-led differentiation continues here with plenty of GTI addenda, although we're not quite sure about the extended red stripe on the headlights. OK, it references the wide grille of Mk 1 and 2 GTIs, but also looks a bit… odd.
Good job the rest of the car is so on the money.

Singing with a star
To say Paul Fournier is a fan of Paul Simon would be an understatement. The 42-year-old patent attorney at Drinker Biddle & Reath has been listening to Simon's music for most of his life.
So when Simon invited Fournier to join him on stage at DAR Constitution Hall Wednesday night, it was a dream come true.
"I think if I would have prepared I would have been nervous, but this was so unexpected and spontaneous," he said. "I don't think I flubbed up any of the lyrics at all."
{ }
The band started playing Gumboots, and Fournier noticed that Simon didn't start singing where he usually begins. "He said something to the effect of, 'What's the first line of the song?'" Fournier said.
So Fournier yelled out the first line of the song. Simon looked at him and asked if he wanted to sing with the living legend.
"He let me sing the beginning part on my own then we started alternating lines, which was a dream come true," Fournier said.
"There were little musical interludes where there was no singing," he said. "I think I took advantage of every one of those to whisper little things to him."
Fournier says he's been getting a lot of attention since his moment of fame.
The singer and the attorney will be together again Friday night when Simon plays the 9:30 Club. Fournier is postponing a long-planned vacation to be at the show, but he's not planning on taking the stage again.
"I had no idea this was going to get so big," he said. "My inbox was flooded with emails and I've been getting phone calls. I don't think I've ever gotten so much praise and joy and love in one day from so many different people. But this is really about Mr. Simon because he is so great at what he does."

NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Well, where do I begin? As a long-time Apple (AAPL) shareholder and a second-generation "fanboy," I don't know if Apple has ever produced a quarter that brought more vindication to everything I've said leading up to Wednesday's report.
Over the past couple of weeks, I've outlined a series of articles to help TheStreet's investors prepare for what was (and still is) the best bargain on the market.
But first, I had to come to the defense of Tim Cook, Apple's embattled CEO, who former Wall Street Journal writer Yukari Iwatani Kane has called a "stage manager." I wonder what she would say to Tim Cook today.
Following that article, I offered several reasons why the stock was heading to $650. Comments on that article said I was delusional.
So I offered examples of how Apple was still demolishing its rivals. Bears disagreed.
I then issued a swift response to Forbes writer who penned one of the dumbest Apple articles I've ever read. It was suggested I had become "too attached."
I then pointed out that it was analysts -- not me -- who didn't understand Apple's direction. Bears insisted that Apple's only direction was down.
Following that article, I told you how analysts focus too much on Apple's margins and not enough of on the potentially strong quarter to come. A commenter responded that Apple's iPhones are not good enough to justify such high margins.
There are other examples of bearishness. But given all of the unnecessary hatred towards Apple and undue criticism Tim Cook has had to endure, at the risk of extreme hyperbole, Wednesday's results were by far the best damn quarter in Apple's history.
I will gladly defend this statement to anyone, and it has nothing to do with the reality that the stock soared 8% following the report.
Apple hit on every single metric that I suggested was necessary leading into the quarter.

Amazon introduces Fire Phone with 3D "Dynamic Perspective"
Working For Notebookcheck

A smartphone from Amazon has been a long time coming, especially after the Kindle Fire's success, and the company has finally delivered. The new Fire Phone was unveiled at an event in Seattle today, bringing with it new technologies such as Dynamic Perspective and Firefly.
CEO Jeff Bezos took to the stage to unveil his latest project, a 4.7" smartphone with a 720p resolution and a 2.2GHz Snapdragon 800 CPU with Adreno 330 graphics and 2GB of RAM. The Fire Phone also comes with a 13MP rear camera and a 2.1MP front camera, with a thickness of just 8.9mm and Fire OS 3.5.0 running on top of Android.
Of course the most-talked about feature of the Fire Phone will definitely be the Dynamic Perspective, a 3D interface that monitors eye movements and reacts accordingly. This is achieved thanks to four ultra-low power cameras and LEDs that are embedded around the device's edges, allowing the smartphone to offer a more immersive experience with 3D maps and one-handed gestures that display more information. Amazon has also included an integrated Firefly feature, with its very own side button, allowing users to place calls by scanning an ad or purchase an object on Amazon.com through a simple snapshot.
Just like the Kindle Fire tablet, the new Fire Phone offers users more ways to interact with Amazon's expansive marketplace, including unlimited cloud storage for photos and a year's subscription to Prime. The Fire Phone will also be exclusive to AT&T just like we heard yesterday, with the 32GB model available for $199 on-contract and $649 off-contract. A 64GB version will also be available for $100 more and pre-orders are already being taken with an expected release date of July 25th.

Summer Talks: Sofia Coppola (The Bling Ring)
Monday, June 10, 2013
Free and open to the public!
From Oscar winning filmmaker Sofia Coppola and based on a tabloid tizzy of a true story, The Bling Ring follows a group of teenagers whose obsession with fashion and celebrity lead them to rob the Los Angeles homes of a half dozen starlets including Lindsay Lohan and Paris Hilton (who appears in the film).
Emma Watson and Taissa Farmiga star as two members of the "Bling Ring," who tracked their victims online in order to break into their lavish homes and steal their designer clothes and possessions in 2008 – 2009.
Coppola has proven herself a master at capturing the naiveté of youth, and in The Bling Ring she tackles the effect of celebrity culture on teenage temptation, leading Film Comment to dub her "a neorealist of hyper-materialist life." What starts out as harmless fun spirals into a sobering indictment of the modern world.
This Summer Talk will be free and open to the public. Free tickets will be available to the general public beginning one hour before the start of the event. Seating is available on a space available basis.

Submitted to: Journal of Chemical Ecology
Publication Type: Peer Reviewed Journal
Publication Acceptance Date: 2/1/2000
Publication Date: 7/1/2000
Citation: Landolt, P.J., Brumley, J.A., Biddick, L.L., Hofstetter, R.W. 2000. Apple fruit infested with codling moth have increased amounts of E,E- Alpha-Farnesene and greater attractiveness to neonate codling moth larvae. Journal of Chemical Ecology. 26:1685-1699. Interpretive Summary: Novel pest control methods are needed that are effective, economical, safe, and are environmentally compatible. The codling moth is a key pest of apple and pear fruits in the United States and is currently managed primarily by insecticide applications and by mating disruption supplemented by insecticide applications. Scientists at the USDA-ARS Yakima Agricultural Research Laboratory are working to develop attractants for this pest as a means of reducing fruit infestation. It was found that larvae of the codling moth are more strongly attracted to apple fruit that has already been infested by another larva and that the chemical E,E-alpha-farnesene is also increased in these infested fruit. Other types of injury evaluated did not have quite the same effect, either on the attractiveness of the fruit to larvae or on the production of this chemical. These findings indicate a possible role of E,E-alpha-farnesene in the attraction of larvae to fruit that will help in future efforts to identify the attractants in apple. Identification of these larval attractants will permit the development of baits to control codling moth with reduced pesticide use.
Technical Abstract: Apple fruit artificially infested with codling moth larvae attracted significantly more neonate larvae of the codling moth, Cydia pomonella (L.), than uninfested fruit. A greater number of larvae responded to odor in an olfactometer from codling moth- infested cold-stored Red Delicious thinning apples than uninfested apples. Immature Granny Smith, Red Delicious, or Fuji apples that were infested on the tree for 5 days by codling moth larvae were more attractive to neonate codling moth larvae than uninfested fruit of the same varieties. Apples infested on the tree and sampled 5 days later also contained significantly greater amounts of the larval attractant E,E-alpha-farnesene, compared to uninfested apples. Other types of injury to apple fruit did not produce results similar to that from codling moth infestation, either in increased attractiveness to codling moth larvae or in increased quantities of E,E-alpha-farnesene.

Voters will be choosing between incumbent Darrel Link or his challenger Steve Wood for Grant County's next judge-executive when they go to the polls on Nov. 2. Also on the ballot are candidates for coroner, jailer, magistrate for District 1 and District 2, Crittenden City Council, Crittenden mayor, Corinth City Commission and Williamstown City Council.
The public was given an opportunity to hear how candidates stood on local issues during a 'Meet the Candidates' Forum sponsored by the Grant County News and the Grant County Chamber of Commerce on Oct. 21.
Thanks to the 87 people who paid for and attended the Spears Foundation Feed the People Benefit for the Free Lunch Kitchen on Oct. 14. It was an awesome event and if you missed it, you missed something special.
Tickets sold out two weeks before the event. We even added a surprise or two, but that's what we always do when we have a Hogan House dinner or one of our other dinner events.
Taylor Henry put on a wonderful show mixing his own songs with a couple of favorites of his grandmother who was in the audience.
For the 2010 general election, voters will be vote in up to 11 contested races.
County-wide races feature incumbent Darrell Link against challenger Steve Wood for judge-executive and Robert McDaniel trying to unseat Marylee Willoby as coroner.
Terry Peeples and Harvey Perleberg face off to see who will become the next Grant County jailer.
Three Grant County men were arrested on federal explosives charges on Oct. 22 by officers with the Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms.
Federal charges were filed against:
• Christopher Walker, of Williamstown
• Adam Autry, of Dry Ridge
• Mike Sanders of Crittenden
Chris Hankins, assistant chief of the Williamstown Police Department said the investigation began in July when a pickup truck belonging to David Suire of Dry Ridge caught fire and burned.
The Youth Performance Award winner for October is Emily Puckett, a senior at Grant County High School. She is the daughter of Sandra Rankin of Williamstown.
She has a strong desire to mentor younger children and work to make families stronger.
Q: What are your extra-curricular activities:
A: Varsity golf team, student council and National Honor Society
Q: What is your community involvement:
Tommy and Leatha Conrad of Williamstown are pleased to announce the engagement and forthcoming marriage of their daughter, Ashley Conrad to Austin Ryan, son of Rick and Dorothy Ryan of Dry Ridge.
The wedding is being planned for June 11, 2011 at the Dry Ridge Baptist Church. A reception will follow at the JMB Center.
The bride is a 2006 graduate of Grant County High School and will be a 2011 graduate of the University of Louisville. She is employed by Precision Dental Care.
Harvey Perleberg is my choice for jailer. He has twice the experience of his opponent.
I worked with him at the jail from 1997 to 2000.
I have known Brian Linder for several years and for the last couple of weeks I have been able to help him with his campaign for magistrate. That has been an experience that is out of this world. I'm a political science student at Northern Kentucky University and the experience I have gotten from this has been that of which can't be matched.
I'm writing this letter as an endorsement for Brian Linder of Dry Ridge, who is a candidate for one of our local magistrate races.
Williamstown Band of Spirit spent the last two weeks of regular season practice and competitions refining their 2010 show; adding visual interest and fine-tuning both their marching and music before they begin post-season competition on Oct. 23.
Traveling to Dixie Heights on Oct 9, the band placed 2nd in their class and 5th overall at the Festival at the Heights. Despite the high level of competition and caliber of bands at Dixie, the lower placement gave the Band of Spirit the motivation they needed to focuson improving their skills.

PARIS and SANDY, Utah, Jan. 5 /PRNewswire/ -- Diatos S.A. and MacroMed, Inc. announced today the signing of a license agreement granting Diatos exclusive rights to develop and commercialize OncoGel(R) (injectable paclitaxel formulation for local, intra-tumoral administration) worldwide except for North America and Korea. In addition, Diatos also received rights to sublicense OncoGel and to develop and commercialize second generation OncoGel products.
Diatos and MacroMed, both privately held biopharmaceutical companies, will collaborate on the clinical development of OncoGel, sharing data from clinical trials conducted in their respective territories. Diatos and MacroMed intend to develop OncoGel for treatment of several types of solid tumors, which may include breast, lung, esophageal, head and neck, brain, liver, colon, pancreas and ovarian cancers. OncoGel is currently in Phase II clinical trials in the US for esophageal cancer.
Under the terms of the agreement, Diatos will pay MacroMed a license fee, milestone payments, and royalties on product sales. In addition, MacroMed has retained the right to provide the majority of clinical and commercial supplies of OncoGel to Diatos.
"We are delighted to add OncoGel to our product development portfolio, as it enhances our oncology product pipeline with a second clinical-stage product," said Dr. John Tchelingerian, President and Chief Executive Officer of Diatos. "The acquisition of OncoGel fits well with our mission to develop oncology drug products through in-licensing as well as internal development."
MacroMed Chief Executive Officer, Thomas Bergmann, stated, "We are very pleased to have the opportunity to work with Diatos to develop and commercialize this exciting product worldwide. We have confidence in Diatos's expertise to continue OncoGel's development in Europe and initiate new development in Asia, while allowing us to focus our resources on development in the US."
OncoGel is an injectable, controlled-release formulation of paclitaxel. Paclitaxel is a well-characterized, anti-neoplastic agent that inhibits cell proliferation. Once injected, OncoGel maintains a high, long-term intra- tumoral concentration of paclitaxel with minimal systemic exposure which may make it ideal for neoadjuvant, adjuvant and palliative treatment settings. OncoGel therapy may also prove to be effective in various types of tumors, including Taxol(R)-resistant tumors and in tumors with long cell division cycles.
OncoGel utilizes MacroMed's proprietary ReGel(R) drug delivery system. ReGel is a thermosensitive, triblock copolymer comprised of the biocompatible and biodegradable components poly(lactide-co-glycolide) (PLGA) and polyethylene glycol (PEG). Upon injection, ReGel forms an insoluble gel depot and controls the release of active compounds for systemic or local delivery over periods of up to one month.
About Diatos
Diatos is a product-driven biopharmaceutical company dedicated to the development and commercialization of novel anti-cancer therapies. The company's lead therapeutic candidate DTS-201, a doxorubicin prodrug, is planned to enter Phase I/II clinical trials in 2005. Diatos is also expanding its product pipeline with new compounds that utilize the Diatos Peptide Vector (DPV) intra-cellular/intra-nuclear Vectocell(R) delivery technology or its Tumor Selective Prodrug (TSP) technology as well as with in-licensed clinical- stage cancer therapies. Diatos has entered into research collaboration agreements with several European and US biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies for the use of DPV technology.
Founded in 1999 as a spin-off from Institut Pasteur, Diatos has raised 33 million Euros to date from Sofinnova Partners (France), GIMV (Belgium), InterWest Partners (USA), Credit Lyonnais Private Equity (France), AGF Private Equity (France), NIF Ventures (Japan), Societe Generale Asset Management (France), Sopartec (Belgium), Innoven Partenaires (France) and Biotech Fund Flanders (Belgium).

She has stirred up more than a little controversy in the world of acting, but now provocative star, Summaya al Khashab, is set to cause chaos in the music world.
Earlier this year, a group of Muslim Brotherhood lawyers tried to sue her for "encouraging innapropriate behavior" in others. But Summaya shows no signs of slowing down and has already begun recording for her new album. The first single, called 'Ya Miskeen' (Poor You) will be out soon as the actress keeps her nose to the recording studio grindstone to complete the rest of the tunes.
The Egyptian star decided to get out of her comfort zone and sing in the Khaliji (Gulf region) dialect for her debut. Summaya said she decided to get away from her natural dialect to satisfy demands from her fans in and around the UAE.

I can't say if he is good or not. I just have one question. How many Lupus patients has he seen during his career? Remember there are only about 159,000 Lupus patients out of 300,000,000 people here in the U.S. My point is if he has only seen one or two then he doesn't have the expertise to figure you out.
My rheumie really cares about my health and keeps doing more and more test. No treatment plan for Lupus that was diagnosed in Feb 09. Now I have cancer from the lack of keeping the Lupus suppressed.
