Overcome The Challenges Of An Ultra-Rare Disease Trial
By Ed Miseta, Chief Editor, Clinical Leader
Follow Me On Twitter @EdClinical
ArQule is a personalized medicine company working in the oncology space to develop treatments that target specific mutations. The Massachusetts-based company faces many challenges in this space, including one that is common to many cancer treatments. When ArQule increased the dosage of its treatment, there was an increase in efficacy. Unfortunately, there was also an increase in the level of toxicity. This dilemma left the company unsure about its next course of action.
"At that time, we were approached by a group at the NIH which informed us they found the exact same mutation occurring in patients with an ultra-rare overgrowth disease," says Dr. Brian Schwartz, CMO for ArQule. "The disease is Proteus syndrome, which was formerly known as Elephant Man's disease. They had been working on that disease for years and hoped that we could partner to help those patients."
With Proteus syndrome, early on in utero a couple of cells aquire a somatic mutation. However, the mutation can occur in different locations leading to abnormal overgrowth of specific tissues in patients. One patient might have an elongated leg or arm, a lump on their body, or be CNS impaired. No two Proteus patients are the same, and 25 percent will die of cancer or vascular abnormalities before the age of 16.
For the most part, Proteus syndrome is still a mystery to researchers. There are no models or guidance, and no trials have been performed on patients. After contacting ArQule, the NIH decided to test the drug in a clinical trial. There was no animal model, so Schwartz describes the study as a Phase 0 trial, but the drug was found to be biologically active.
ArQule decided it would be best for ArQule to start a parallel program to speed up development of the drug. Patient groups got wind of the company's efforts and ArQule was soon contacted by two patients struggling with overgrowth disease. One was a young woman with both cancer and Proteus syndrome, which occur together in about 25 percent of patients. The other was a 16-year-old female with a similar overgrowth disease who had been sent to hospice because of complications she faced from the disease. Since both were located overseas, Schwartz first had to find a physician willing to treat them. They were given the treatment, which is a small-molecule drug taken once a day. Both patients are receiving benefit with their disease regressing and related symptoms improving.
"With these two patients, there was no clinical trial conducted," states Schwartz. "Both were treated via a compassionate use request. Although the patients improved, we did not receive the data you would normally get from a clinical trial. For me, that was a big learning experience. You want to help patients, but simply granting these types of requests does not move you towards a regulatory approval providing a treatment option for all affected individuals. Since the disease is so rare, we were not sure what data we needed to collect. In retrospect, had we collected the data on those two cases, we may have been able to present those results to a regulatory agency earlier."
No Natural History
Fortunately, the study conducted at NIH did collect meaningful data. That, along with the results of the compassionate use cases, allowed ArQule to approach regulatory agencies to discuss a program for approval of the treatment. If a registration study results in product approval, ArQule will face additional challenges.
"In the ultra-rare disease space, one challenge is the lack of a natural history of the disease," says Schwartz. "Even when there is no therapy available, researchers must develop a system to document that natural history. For Proteus syndrome, there are less than 200 cases that have ever been reported in literature. There are estimated to be hundreds, not thousands, of Proteus patients in the developed world. In comparison, breast cancer will have over 200,000 new patients diagnosed in 2018."
In ultra-rare diseases, that natural history is vital since the small number of patients means researchers cannot perform a placebo-controlled trial. Fortunately, a group or researchers at the NIH have, for the last 15 years, been collecting data on the natural history of Proteus syndrome. That has given ArQule some insight into the progression of the disease. Researchers at NIH collected data from patients, x-rays, and even patient photographs of affected areas. Still, the data is not perfect. The patients were not seen at routine intervals and much of the data came from patients located overseas. The difference in how patients are impacted made producing a natural history even more difficult. Still, for the first time, the effort resulted in meaningful data on the patient journey.
Finding A Common Feature
Although patients with Proteus syndrome look different, the researchers at NIH were able to locate a common feature between them. Every patient had lesions under their feet. Photographs were taken of those lesions and that will likely serve as the endpoint in clinical trials conducted by ArQule.
"That is the only common feature amongst patients," says Schwartz. "The only negative with that endpoint is that a number of patients have had their feet amputated as a result of the lesions. That further reduces the size of the available patient population."
Finding patients to participate in trials is the second major challenge faced by ArQule. There are few patients and they are located throughout the world. ArQule began assembling a list of patients for its upcoming study and those patients are in the U.S., Europe, Canada, Saudi Arabia, Peru, China, and Australia. Having patients from multiple countries scattered all over the globe creates a financial hardship and a logistical nightmare for ArQule.
"Ultra-rare diseases tend to not be financially rewarding endeavors for pharma companies," says Schwartz. "For drugs designed to treat rare diseases and have received an orphan drug designation there are voucher programs in place that can help companies recoup most of their costs, but you go into this effort knowing your future revenues will be limited."
A Pediatric Population
Another challenge is the fact that Proteus syndrome is found primarily in children. Schwartz notes conducting trials on children with rare diseases can be difficult. When these children are born, they appear healthy and perfectly normal. At around one year, a leg might start growing longer than the other. No one understands why, and the patient could literally visit dozens of doctors or specialists. Eventually a geneticist will perform the right test and correctly diagnose the disease. By then, the condition of the patient will have worsened considerably.
"These children and their parents have been bumped around from one physician to another being mis-diagnosed for many years," says Schwartz. "They have been through a lot, and now you have to ask them to submit to a clinical trial. They will need to make monthly visits to a clinic to be seen by a physician who may need to anaesthetize the child and administer an experimental treatment. Convincing the parents to allow the child to enter the trial and see it through to the end can be a difficult proposition. Understanding the needs and the concerns of the parents and caregivers is essential to making that enrollment happen. You have to understand what they have already been through, and then take the time to explain to them what the treatment is expected to do and how it might help their child."
Finally, Schwartz notes that when working in the rare disease space, no decision will be more important than the selection of your CRO partner. Schwartz has partnered with many CROs over the 25 years he has worked in drug development. He believes it takes a very special CRO team, a true "partner," to conduct a rare disease trial correctly.
"A good CRO will become a part of the patient's team," states Schwartz. "They can't just check off boxes and collect data. They must get to know everyone involved in the study and understand the disease and what families are experiencing. They must know what the families have been through and what they will experience. They must also understand the needs of the physicians, who will generally be taking part in a clinical trial for the first time. It is up to the CRO to educate everyone on the process and make sure everything goes off without a hitch."
Choose Your CRO Carefully
ArQule has already begun its search for a CRO partner. The company interviewed six CROs but after half-day presentations by each company, ArQule felt only two really understood what it takes to develop a drug in the ultra-rare disease space. Both understood what the company was looking for because they had been through the process in the past.
"For a disease like Proteus syndrome, I believe you need not only a CRO with experience in rare disease but also a partner that can also provide the personalized attention this disease requires," says Schwartz. "For that reason, the mid-sized CROs are a sweet spot. They are not too large but are big enough to have the relevant expertise you need. The two CROs that impressed us the most were ones that had taken a rare disease treatment from Phase 1 all the way through to approval. They presented us with a strategy, walked us through all of the challenges we would face, and allowed us to meet the key players on the project team."
Schwartz adds that when a CRO truly has an interest in rare diseases, you can see it in their presentations. They tend to be very hands on and have a clear understanding of the complexities of these trials and the procedures that will have to be performed. He notes they also tend to be very patient centric. The two CRO finalists went so far as to call on patient advocacy groups for advice prior to preparing their strategy and approach.
Schwartz also gives a nod to those patient advocacy groups, noting rare disease trials would not occur without their support. The rarer the disease, the more critical their role. In ultra-rare diseases, these groups are generally formed by mothers who had a child with the disease. They understand the patient and the patient's family journey and are a big help in creating registries and assisting with recruitment. Social media is also important, which Schwartz calls a blessing to the industry when used correctly. Social media now allows patients and their families to find sponsors, instead of the other way around.

What does 🐂 mean?
If you're a Taurus or were born in the Year of the Ox, you probably are among the few people who use the ox emoji.
This emoji depicts an ox but commonly stands for metaphorical bulls, especially sports teams (e.g., the Texas Longhorns) and plain bullshit.
Related words:
- 🐄 cow emoji
- 🤘 sign of the horns emoji
- ♉ Taurus emoji

Where does come from?
Approved as part of Unicode 6.0 in 2010, the ox emoji shows a light brown or tan ox with curved horns and a long tail—except for Facebook, which has a gray beast of burden.
An ox is a castrated bull used for farm work, but the ox emoji is applied to bovines more generally, including as a stand for the zodiac sign of the Taurus (bull) in Western astrology and in the Chinese Zodiac (Year of the Ox). The ox emoji spiked in 2016 thanks to boy-band One Direction's Niall Horan, who was dating a Taurus.
If the eggplant and peach emoji have taught us anything, it's that people are pretty clever at adapting emoji for their own purposes. And so, because the ox emoji looks like a bull, people pair it with the pile of poo emoji to create the word bullshit. Clever.
Ever been told you can't drink if you want to lose fat?🍺🍷

Who uses ?
The ox emoji sees wide use on social media to express that someone is a Taurus, born roughly between April 20th to about May 21st on the Western calendar, or alongside Taurus-based horoscopes.
In this way, the emoji is frequently paired with the actual Taurus emoji.

People of Chinese descent or interested in Chinese culture use the ox emoji to signify they were born in a Year of the Ox. Expect to see a lot of use for the emoji in the next one, 2021, around Chinese New Year.

Sports teams whose mascots are the Bulls or Longhorns love this emoji on social media, using it with mascot-related slogans like #HookEm or the steer-imitating gesture, 🤘, sign of the horns emoji.

As a so-called beast of burden, people sometimes add the ox emoji when describing someone as a beast or just an "excellent person," especially in sports or music.
He's a beast 🐂 https://t.co/OiwMscnz2I

And, then there's its use to signify pure bullshit:
Yall a bunch of bull shitters 🐂💩
— BlanchySenpai 🦍♿ (@BrazyBlanchh) June 21, 2015
Last but not least, people do use the ox emoji when literally referring to the animal, whether on the farm or at the rodeo. Yeehaw.

Article #221
The Talmud of the Jews consists of an extensive collection of teachings of the ancient Jewish Rabbis. It consists of the Mishnah(the oral law) and the Gemara (commentary on the oral law). The Talmud is not an inspired writing like the Bible but it does contain important eyewitness accounts of things that occurred during the first century AD and surrounding centuries.
The Talmud does not affirm that Jesus is the Messiah – far from it – but it does give many bits of information that unintentionally support the messianic claims of Jesus of Nazareth. You must realize that the Talmud was written centuries before sophisticated arguments were formulated against Christianity.
For instance the Bible in Zechariah 12:10 says "they shall look upon me whom they have pierced." Today's traditional Jewish apologists will strenuously argue that this could not refer to the crucifixion of Jesus in which His hands and feet were pierced. Jewish apologists would argue that this verse is not a messianic prophecy. Most present day Jewish Bibles also give a different rendering of the wording of Zechariah 12:10 that renders its messianic ramifications less clear.
The Talmud, however, is very direct in affirming that the ancient rabbis considered this a messianic prophecy. In the section calledSukkah 52a the verse in Zechariah 12:10 is paraphrased: "They will look upon me, the Messiah, who they have pierced." The rabbis went so far as to actually insert the word "Messiah" into the text!
The Talmud in Sukkah 52a does not directly state that Jesus is the Messiah but does show that the ancient Jewish rabbis believed that the Messiah would be pierced. In fact the Talmud goes to great lengths to affirm that the Old Testament prophecies of a suffering Messiah (Isaiah 53, etc.) are indeed messianic prophecies.
The Talmud in Sanhedrin 97b and 98b affirms that the prophetic passage in the 53rd chapter of Isaiah refers to the Messiah. Isaiah 53, as I've written in several DTF articles, clearly prophesies that the Messiah would die for the sins of the people. Jesus fulfilled this and over 300 other predictive prophecies contained in the Old Testament. No other figure in all of world history can make anything like that claim!
The Talmud dealt honestly with the prophecies of the sufferings of the Messiah but also had to explain the prophecies of the glorification of the Messiah. Some of the ancient rabbis taught that there would be two Messiahs, one a suffering Messiah who would die and the other a glorious Messiah who would be king. They didn't see a first and second coming of one Messiah. Importantly however, the rabbis did see, as Christians do today, that the predictions of both the suffering and the glory are messianic. This is powerful ammunition for Christian apologists.
When quoting a messianic prophecy to a Jewish apologist he will often say "If you knew the Hebrew you'd know that the passage in question is not messianic." The ancient Talmudists did know the Hebrew and they affirmed that the prophecies are messianic!!!
The Talmud also contains eyewitness accounts of some miraculous events that occurred in the first century. In the Talmud, in tractate Yoma 39b, four distinct unusual phenomena are recorded. These events occurred during the 40 years before the destruction of the second Temple. The second Temple was destroyed in the year 70 AD so we're talking about the years 30 AD to 70 AD.
The year 30 AD is the approximate time that Jesus the Messiah died for the sins of the people. When He died and rose again the Temple sacrificial system of animal sacrifices was superceded and became obsolete. God no longer honored the animal sacrifices.
Yoma 39b has to do with the Day of Atonement which is calledYom Kippur. In this tractate it is stated that the lot for the Lord's goat came up in the left hand of the High Priest during those 40 years. That was a bad sign because of what the left hand means in Judaism. On Yom Kippur two goats were selected. One was to be sacrificed on the Lord's altar and one was to be the scapegoat. The lot for the Lord's goat always came up in the left hand during those 40 years!
Another phenomenon recorded in Yoma 39b has to do with the scarlet cord. On Yom Kippur they hung a scarlet cord. This cord, in the years before 30 AD, often used to miraculously turn white which was reminiscent of Isaiah 1:18 which says "though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow." In the 40 years before 70 AD on Yom Kippur the cord always remained scarlet; it did not turn white.
Yoma 39b also records that the Temple doors opened by themselves during those 40 years. This also was a bad sign. The rabbis connected it with Zechariah 11:1 which is a Bible verse that implied that one day the Temple would be burned as indeed it was in 70 AD.
Yoma 39b also records the fact that the westernmost light of the menorah in the Temple would not stay lit. This was yet another bad sign. The westernmost light was the light used to light all of the other lights.
The sins of the people were not forgiven through animal sacrifices after Jesus died and rose again around 30 AD. They had rejected the Messiah. There was no forgiveness by animal sacrifices. They must repent and turn to Messiah to receive forgiveness of sins. Many Jews did turn to Jesus and these formed the early church. In our own day many Jewish people who believe in Jesus as Messiah have formed Messianic Jewish synagogues.
There was a 40 year transition at the beginning of the Age of Law when the Jews spent 40 years in the wilderness under Moses. There was also a 40 year transition at the end of the Age of Law from 30 AD to 70 AD. God was warning His precious Jewish people during this time. God gave them signs that showed that the animal sacrifices were superceded and final atonement was made by Jesus the Messiah.
The Jewish Talmud contains much in the way of law, interpretation, argument, folklore, narrative and biography. It does contain some blasphemous sayings against the Christian faith. But like a lawyer arguing a case we can appeal to the witness of the opposition. When your opponent makes statements that support your case, those statements carry special weight. The Talmud makes many statements that have the unintended consequence of proving that Jesus is indeed the promised Messiah of Israel!

Defendants additionally has filed a special report in
accordance with the Court's order and Martinez v.
Aaron, 570 F.2d 317 (10th Cir. 1978). See Doc.
Nos. 46, 48, 52.
In his
pleading, Plaintiff asserts pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983
that the CCA Defendants and three ODOC Defendants (Honaker,
McCurdy, and May) failed to provide adequate and proper
medical treatment to Plaintiff in connection with his
"serious degenerative medical condition" of
"cervical foraminal stenosis neck bone nerve cord
impingement" while Plaintiff was housed at CCF. Am.
Compl. at 8-9, 10-17. Plaintiff additionally asserts pursuant
to § 1983 that the five ODOC Defendants failed to
provide adequate and proper medical treatment with respect to
this neck condition while Plaintiff was housed at NFCC.
See Id. at 9, 17-20.
The CCA
Defendants are sued in their individual capacities, and the
ODOC Defendants are sued in both their official and
individual capacities. See Id. at 4-6; see also
Jones v. Barry, 33 Fed.Appx. 967, 971 n.5 (10th Cir.
2002). Plaintiff seeks compensatory and punitive damages as
well as injunctive relief, costs, and fees. See Am.
Compl. at 9, 10.[2]
ODOC Defendants' Immunity to Suit
the Eleventh Amendment, ODOC Defendants move to dismiss
Plaintiff's claims to the extent they seek money damages
from each ODOC Defendant in his or her official capacity.
See ODOC Defs.' Mot. at 3-4; Fed.R.Civ.P.
12(b)(1). The undersigned therefore is obligated to address
whether these Defendants enjoy immunity from suit. See
United States ex rel. Burlbaw v. Orenduff, 548 F.3d 931,
942 (10th Cir. 2008) (noting that if a state defendant raises
Eleventh Amendment immunity, "addressing the threshold
jurisdictional matter [is] obligatory"); Fent v.
Okla. Water Res. Bd., 235 F.3d 553, 558-59 (10th Cir.
2000) (holding that Eleventh Amendment immunity "can be
waived" but "constitutes a bar to the exercise of
federal subject matter jurisdiction" when effectively
to the doctrine of sovereign immunity, as adopted in the
Eleventh Amendment, a federal court may not hear a claim
brought by a private citizen against a U.S. state. U.S.
Const. amend. XI; Seminole Tribe of Fla. v. Florida,
But Eleventh Amendment immunity is not absolute. There are
three exceptions. First, a state may consent to suit in
federal court. Second, Congress may abrogate a state's
sovereign immunity by appropriate legislation when it acts
under Section 5 of the Fourteenth Amendment. Finally, under
Ex parte Young, 209 U.S. 123 (1908), a plaintiff may
bring suit against individual state officers acting in their
official capacities if the complaint alleges an ongoing
violation of federal law and the plaintiff seeks prospective
Muscogee (Creek) Nation v. Pruitt, 669 F.3d 1159,
1166 (10th Cir. 2012) (citations omitted). Eleventh Amendment
immunity applies to any state agencies considered to be
"arms of the [s]tate." Will v. Mich.
Dep't of State Police, 491 U.S. 58, 70-71 (1989). A
defendant's status as an arm of the state is a question
of federal law, but courts make this determination by
analyzing the "nature of the entity created by state
law." Steadfast Ins. Co. v. Agric. Ins. Co.,
507 F.3d 1250, 1253 (10th Cir. 2007) (internal quotation
marks omitted).
has not consented to be sued in federal court."
Berry v. Oklahoma, 495 Fed.Appx. 920, 921 (10th Cir.
2012); accord Callahan v. Poppell, 471 F.3d 1155,
1159 (10th Cir. 2006). Nor has Congress abrogated state
immunity through enactment of 42 U.S.C. § 1983. See
Berry, 495 Fed.Appx. at 921-22. Thus, the State of
Oklahoma's Eleventh Amendment immunity from suits seeking
money damages in federal court remains intact.
the relevant state agency is ODOC because the individual ODOC
Defendants were employed by that agency during the events
giving rise to this lawsuit. See Am. Compl. at 4-6.
"ODOC is . . . shielded by sovereign immunity because
it is an arm of the state." Berry, 495
Fed.Appx. at 922 (citing Eastwood v. Dep't of Corr.
of Okla., 846 F.2d 627, 631-32 (10th Cir. 1988)).
ODOC's immunity therefore extends to Plaintiff's
§ 1983 claims against ODOC employees who are sued in
their official capacities for damages. See Cleveland v.
Martin, 590 Fed.Appx. 726, 730 (10th Cir. 2014).
Defendants Honaker, McCurdy, May, Thompson, and Troutt, as
employees of ODOC acting in their official capacities,
therefore are protected by Eleventh Amendment immunity to the
extent damages are sought by Plaintiff under § 1983.
See id.; Eastwood, 846 F.2d at 632.
Plaintiff's claims seeking monetary relief from these
ODOC Defendants in their official capacities are barred by
the Eleventh Amendment and should be dismissed without
Plaintiff's Exhaustion of Administrative Remedies
Defendants assert the affirmative defense that
Plaintiff's claims are largely barred because Plaintiff
did not, prior to commencing this lawsuit, exhaust his
available administrative remedies as required by the Prison
Litigation Reform Act of 1995 ("PLRA"), codified
in pertinent part at 42 U.S.C. § 1997e(a). See
CCA Defs.' Mot. at 3-11; see also Jones v. Bock,
549 U.S. 199, 219-20 (2007) ("All [courts] agree that
no unexhausted claim may be
Standard of Review
Defendants acknowledge that assertion of an exhaustion
defense generally is examined as an argument for summary
judgment, rather than as a basis for dismissal. See
Defs.' Mot. at 2; see also Id. at 6-9 (citing
materials outside of the pleading and public record in
support of affirmative defense). To that end, CCA Defendants
titled their filing as an alternative request for summary
judgment. See Id. at 1.
Response in opposition expressly cited and discussed the
summary-judgment standard of Federal Rule of Civil Procedure
56, was "duly verified wherein it can be used as an
affidavit for purposes of MTD or MFSJ, " and presented
and relied upon multiple documents not attached to his
pleading. See Pl.'s CCA Resp. at 1, 2, 3-6, 5
n.1; Pl.'s CCA Resp. Exs. 1-16 (Doc. Nos. 54-1 to 54-16);
see also Pl.'s Suppl. Resp. Exs. 1-6 (Doc. Nos.
66-1 to 66-6). Further, the Court earlier had advised all
parties that the Court typically considers a dispositive
motion based upon the affirmative defense of exhaustion to be
a motion for summary judgment. See Order of Apr. 27,
2017 (Doc. No. 10) at 3 n.2.
it is evident that Plaintiff was on notice to present all
material pertinent to CCA Defendants' dispositive motion
and that Plaintiff desired the Court to consider materials
outside of the pleadings in ruling on that motion.
Accordingly, the undersigned has treated the motion as one
for summary judgment with respect to the exhaustion
affirmative defense. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 12(d),
56(c)(1); Whitesel v. Sengenberger, 222 F.3d 861,
866 (10th Cir. 2000).
judgment is a means of testing in advance of trial whether
the available evidence would permit a reasonable jury to find
in favor of the party asserting a claim. The Court must grant
summary judgment when "there is no genuine dispute as
to any material fact and the movant is entitled to judgment
as a matter of law." Fed.R.Civ.P. 56(a). When
considering a motion for summary judgment, the Court views
the evidence and any reasonable inferences drawn from the
record "in the light most favorable to the nonmoving
party." Pepsi-Cola Bottling Co. of Pittsburg, Inc.
v. PepsiCo, Inc., 431 F.3d 1241, 1255 (10th Cir. 2005);
see also Scott v. Harris, 550 U.S. 372, 380 (2007).
A party
that moves for summary judgment has the burden of showing
that the undisputed material facts require judgment as a
matter of law in its favor. Celotex Corp. v.
Catrett, 477 U.S. 317, 322-23 (1986). To defeat summary
judgment, the nonmovant need not convince the Court that it
will prevail at trial, but it must cite sufficient evidence
admissible at trial to allow a reasonable jury to find in the
nonmovant's favor-i.e., to show that there is a genuine
question of material fact that must be resolved by the jury.
See Garrison v. Gambro, Inc., 428 F.3d 933, 935
(10th Cir. 2005). Parties may establish the existence or
nonexistence of a disputed material fact through:
• citation to "depositions, documents,
electronically stored information, affidavits or
declarations, stipulations . . ., admissions, interrogatory
answers, or other materials" in the record; or
• demonstration "that the materials cited do not
establish the absence or presence of a genuine dispute, or
that an adverse party cannot produce admissible evidence to
support the fact."
Fed. R. Civ. P. 56(c)(1)(A)-(B).
defendant seeking summary judgment on the basis of an
affirmative defense "must demonstrate that no disputed
material fact exists regarding the affirmative defense
asserted." Hutchinson v. Pfeil, 105 F.3d 562,
564 (10th Cir. 1997). "If the defendant meets this
initial burden, the plaintiff must then demonstrate with
specificity the existence of a disputed material fact"
as to one or more elements of the affirmative defense, absent
which summary judgment must be granted in favor of the
defendant. Id.
assessing CCA Defendants' Motion for summary-judgment
purposes, the undersigned has considered the factual
allegations of Plaintiff's sworn filings (e.g., the
Amended Complaint and Plaintiff's Responses) and the
affidavit of CCA's Grievance Coordinator (CCA Defs.'
Mot. Ex. 2 (Doc. No. 49-2)) to the extent those allegations
are sworn or declared under penalty of perjury and are
"made on personal knowledge, set out facts that would
be admissible in evidence, and show that the affiant or
declarant is competent to testify on the matters
stated." Fed.R.Civ.P. 56(c)(4); see Hall v.
Bellmon, 935 F.2d 1106, 1111 (10th Cir. 1991); see
also 28 U.S.C. § 1746.
Exhaustion of Administrative Remedies
Defendants must establish their affirmative defense of
nonexhaustion by showing that "administrative remedies
were, in fact, available" to Plaintiff when each claim
arose and that Plaintiff "failed to exhaust these
remedies." Purkey v. CCA Det'n Ctr., 263
Fed.Appx. 723, 726 (10th Cir. 2008). If CCA Defendants make
that showing, the burden shifts to Plaintiff to show a
genuine dispute over whether "an administrative remedy,
although officially on the books, [was] not capable of use to
obtain relief." Ross v. Blake, 136 S.Ct. 1850,
1859 (2016).
The PLRA
PLRA provides that no action under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 may
be brought by a prisoner regarding conditions of confinement
"until such administrative remedies as are available
are exhausted." 42 U.S.C. § 1997e(a); see also
Woodford v. Ngo, 548 U.S. 81, 90, 93-103 (2006)
(explaining that § 1997e(a) requires "proper
exhaustion"-i.e., "using all steps that the
agency holds out, and doing so properly (so that the
agency addresses the issues on the merits)" (internal
quotation marks omitted)). "Proper exhaustion demands
compliance with an agency's deadlines and other critical
procedural rules because no adjudicative system can function
effectively without imposing some orderly structure on the
course of its proceedings." Ngo, 548 U.S. at
The Oklahoma Department of Corrections' Grievance
has adopted an offender Grievance Process, Operations
Memorandum OP-090124, through which a prisoner in its custody
at any prison facility may seek administrative decisions or
answers to complaints. See OP-090124 (eff. Nov. 20,
2014) (CCA Defs.' Mot. Ex. 1, at 3-23 (Doc. No. 49-1));
OP-090124 (eff. July 19, 2016) (CCA Defs.' Mot. Ex. 1, at
25-45 (Doc. No. 49-1)).[4] The ODOC Grievance Process requires an
inmate initially to attempt informal resolution of his or her
complaint by speaking to an appropriate staff member within
three days of the relevant incident. See Id. §
IV.B. If the inmate is dissatisfied after this initial
attempt, then he or she may submit a written "Request
to Staff" within seven days of the incident.
Id. § IV.C. This first informal level may be
bypassed only if the complaint involves a sensitive topic or
an emergency. See id. § VIII.A.
next level of the ODOC Grievance Process is the filing of a
formal grievance. If dissatisfied with the response received
from a Request to Staff, the inmate may file a grievance
within fifteen days of the date of the response to a timely
Request to Staff. See id. § V.A.1. The
grievance is submitted to the facility's Reviewing
Authority, defined as the "facility head or facility
correctional health services administrator."

Is Hillary Clinton Really in Danger of Losing the Primary? Bernie Sanders is said to be surging, Joe Biden is considering jumping in the race, and 's unfavorable ratings are the worst they've been in her 23-plus years in national politics — worse than they were in 2007 or 2008.
Whether you call it wishful thinking or a worst-case scenario, it's enough to make some people say the Clinton campaign is in serious trouble. But is it? Has she forfeited the huge advantages she held at the start of the year? Does Mr. Sanders, or another Democrat, have a real chance to beat her in the primary? Probably not.
The Primary You might not know it if you're reading the various articles about Mr. Photo. Both Parties Have Equal Chance to Win White House. Photo It's a mismatch — and an even match.
Oddly, a year before Election Day, both accurately describe the 2016 race for the American presidency. Republicans and Democrats approach the contest in radically different circumstances, but with roughly equal opportunities to succeed President Obama, polling, analysts and recent electoral history suggest. The Republican nomination contest remains sprawling, chaotic and unpredictable. Its two leading candidates, the real estate magnate and the retired neurosurgeon , stand outside the norms of typical candidates. Mr. Mr. Between them, Mr. Instead, betting markets suggest Senator of Florida, who commands only half as much support as either Mr. Democrats have comparatively little to wonder about. Unlike the Republican race, where a dozen aspirants still dream of converting small followings into unstoppable ones, the Democratic field has a clear, simple structure.
With Mrs. Democrats hold two other advantages. Winners and losers from the second Democratic presidential debate. Former secretary of state Hillary Clinton, Sen.
Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) and former Maryland governor Martin O'Malley sparred over how to handle the Islamic State, the minimum wage and more. (Sarah Parnass/The Washington Post) The Dizzying Circular Logic of Donald Trump. Photo Shortly before Tuesday night's Republican debate, Showtime announced it would be starting a new political documentary series in January called "The Circus."
The creation of the Republican media consultant Mark McKinnon and the Bloomberg political journalists Mark Halperin and John Heilemann, the show will chronicle the presidential campaign as it unfolds behind the scenes. It is the latest event horizon in the history of campaigns being covered as reality-show entertainment pieces — the next logical look into the fun-house mirror of our meta-driven political culture. David Nevins, president of Showtime, envisions "The Circus" as a campaign analogue to the network's "A Season With" series, which goes behind the scenes with sports teams as they progress through their seasons.
(The current edition follows the Notre Dame football team.) Burn. "Doesn't matter, doesn't matter," Bush muttered in response to Trump. Fact checking the fourth Democratic presidential debate. The three Democratic presidential contenders engaged in heated exchanges on health care, gun control, former president Bill Clinton and other issues in Charleston, S.C. on Jan. 17.
Here are the key moments from the two-hour debate in three minutes. (Sarah Parnass/The Washington Post) NBC aired the fourth Democratic presidential debate on Jan. 17 featuring three candidates: former secretary of state Hillary Clinton, Sen. Bernie Sanders (Vt.) and former Maryland governor Martin O'Malley. Not every statement could be easily fact checked, but the following is a list of 10 suspicious or interesting claims. "In 1988, there were three candidates running for Congress in the state of Vermont. Sanders did come out against assault weapons in 1988. Sanders's opponent in the 1988 election, who had promised not to vote for a ban on assault weapons, changed his mind once he got to Washington. Sanders did vote for instant background checks "from day one." Hillary Clinton just handed Republicans a devastating ad against her. At the Jan. 17 Democratic debate in Charleston, S.C., Democratic front-runner Hillary Clinton went out of her way to stress her ties to President Obama.
(Peter Stevenson/The Washington Post) Hillary Clinton had a clear strategy going into Sunday night's fourth Democratic presidential debate: Hug President Obama — at all costs. "We have the Affordable Care Act," Clinton said. "That is one of the greatest accomplishments of President Obama, of the Democratic Party, and of our country. " "I'm going to defend Dodd-Frank and I'm going to defend President Obama for taking on Wall Street, taking on the financial industry and getting results," she said. "I was very pleased that leaders of President Obama's administration went out to Silicon Valley last week and began exactly this conversation about what we can do, consistent with privacy and security," she said.
But it also represents a marked shift in Clinton's rhetoric on Obama. What changed? That shift comes with a cost, of course.

Title: Dawn: Diary One
Author: Ann M. Martin
Series: California Diaries, 1
Format: ebook
Length: N/A
Rating: 3 stars
Synopsis: Can Dawn find a life in California to match the one she left behind in Connecticut—or has too much changed between her friends?
At Vista, eighth graders are required to write personal journals about their experiences. Meet thirteen-year-old Dawn Schafer, the crunchy and health conscious member of the Baby-Sitters Club, who has returned to California to live with her father, stepmother, and brother. Dawn is thrilled to be reunited with her old friends Sunny, Maggie, and Jill.
It's not always easy to keep the group together, though—things are changing fast since they moved the eighth-grade classes into the high school. With new social demands and decisions to make, Dawn sees just how much her old friends have changed since she moved away. Or is she the one who is different now? It's time for this independent girl to let go of the life she had across the country and figure out just where she belongs now.
Favourite character: Ducky
Least favourite character: Sunny
Mini-review: This series follows Dawn Schafer, formerly of the Baby-Sitters Club, as she moves back to California. So this takes place while Abby's with the BSC. It's a bit more mature, with parties and drinking and guys checking out the girls boobs, along with a censored swear word or two.
So Dawn could now careless about babysitting and doesn't miss Mary Anne or Kristy or any other members of the BSC. So every fan of the BSC is getting defensive and it made me struggle a lot with Dawn.

Dawn Schafer - Addy Miller
Sunny Winslow - Samantha Bailey
Maggie Blum - Morgan Lily
Jill Henderson - Brianna Daguano
Ducky McCrae - Zachary Gordon
Amalia Vargas - Isabela Moner

A women's golf bag is defined as a large bag of used golf equipment including clubs, dresses and balls as well as other accessories.

Time Series Analysis Using Python
Dr. Mohamed Ibrahim
Goals and objectives
Time series is a collection of data over time periods. It could be data collected from sensors, econometrics, or even sales revenues. Analyzing such serieses helps in building insights from finding correlations among variables and forecasting future values. In this tutorial we will explore how to use Python in performing time series analysis. It would cover topics of multivariate analysis, handling missing values, time series decomposition, data visualization, cross and auto correlation, ARIMA forecasting model, RNN and LSTM forecasting models.

In the lead up to Self-Injury Awareness Day (1st March 2018) we met up with staff and service users at our mental health services to answer some of the big myth and questions on this issue.
Myth 1: Isn't it just attention seeking?
This is one of the biggest myths about self-harming. There are many reasons people self-harm; there are actually a lot of cases of people trying to hide it.
For some it can be a way for them to take control of the situation. Sometimes it can be for reasons from their past, perhaps their childhood memories coming back. There can be a variety of reasons.
It's only when you have experienced seeing someone who has been through self-harming that you realise the pain they are in. It's not someone just wanting to make a fuss.
Myth 2: But they've done this to themselves?
There can be an ignorance in that people think that people bring it on themselves. People don't want to self-harm, it is an addiction.
'Expert by experience' talks from people who have self-harmed are really valuable to help health professionals and the Police to understand the issues. Attitudes are starting to get better.
Is there anyone that can help?
Nowadays there are lots of different organisations out there. The Samaritans are very good and Mind also offer good advice.
For those in services like Hightown's, there is personalised support. For example, One of our service users would self-harm before he went to bed. We would put the number for Samaritans next to his bed in case he felt the urge and there is also a buzzer he could use to alert staff who are on shift at night. He sometimes needs reassurance but he hasn't self-harmed for a long time.
What should I do if I'm worried about someone?
The best thing is to listen to people and try to understand them, calm them down and offer advice.
What should I do if I'm feeling like this?
Ask for help. If you don't, then things will get worse.
Try and take deep breaths and try and focus on something positive. Personally, I find music very helpful. I have a relaxation music tape that I listen to when I am struggling.
Thank you to Julie, Gary, Alan, Joanne and Marie for sharing their experiences and advice with us.

In December my colleague Mike and I became Shareholders – something I could never have predicted when I joined for a four year stint in June 2000 as a Media and Account Manager (way back when agencies still planned and bought media) and returned in December 2006 as an Account Director.
The last two years have been both challenging and exciting as we've adapted our business model to reflect the changing needs of our clients, while the economy whizzes, green shoots sprout and then promptly get stamped on. However, we've been rewarded as an agency with a strong start to 2013 and personally as a Factor 3 shareholder.
Going from employee to employee/shareholder has been interesting – although essentially my day to day role hasn't changed (I'm still making tea and stamping my feet in the studio when I can't get my own way). Also, as both Mike and I sit on the management board (and have done for a couple of years) we already influence the direction and running of the business.
However, I have noticed little changes – things like turning off the lights in the middle of the day to save electricity (okay, the energy bill) and encouraging staff to all get the bus home after an F3 night out; whereas before we'd all have tumbled into taxis clutching receipts for petty cash.
More significantly it's our management and planning meetings that now have even more relevance. Instead of thinking about the next six to twelve months, I now consider how our plans and decisions could affect the next five years. How will it impact on our staff, culture, clients and ultimately profitability?
Becoming a shareholder feels like the difference between living with someone in a rented house and being married with a mortgage. When you live together, you know you're only a couple of months' notice away from singledom; whereas marriage is (ideally) forever – richer or poorer, sickness and health. That's how being a shareholder feels; you're in it for the long term. It's my/our responsibility to nurture, plan and decide the future for Factor 3 and I'm jolly excited about it.

Cheesequake Elementary School Receives National Blue Ribbon Honors
U.S. Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos today recognized Cheesequake Elementary School as a National Blue Ribbon School for 2017. The recognition is based on the school's overall academic performance or progress in closing achievement gaps among student subgroups.
Cheesequake, one of nine schools in New Jersey to earn this top honor, is the first school in Old Bridge to receive the National Blue Ribbon status.
"National Blue Ribbon Schools are active demonstrations of preparing every child for a bright future," said DeVos. "You are visionaries, innovators, and leaders. You have much to teach us: some of you personalize student learning, others engage parents and communities in the work and life of your local schools and still others develop strong and forward-thinking leaders from among your teaching staff."
The National Blue Ribbon Schools Program honors public and private elementary, middle and high schools where students achieve very high learning standards or are making notable improvements in closing the achievement gap.
"The selection of Cheesequake Elementary School as our first National Blue Ribbon School of Excellence speaks volumes about our educators, our families, our community, and most of all our children," said Old Bridge Township Public Schools Superintendent David Cittadino. "Cheesequake School serves as our template of quality in education as we continue to move at a remarkable pace toward recognized excellence throughout our 15 township schools. Having our first Blue Ribbon School coupled with our 15 National Schools of Character in Old Bridge will forever solidify our reputation as a superior school district."
The Old Bridge Township Public School District, a National District of Character, boasts 15 National Schools of Character and 15 State Schools of Character by Character.org.
Character.org (formerly The Character Education Partnership) selects schools and districts that demonstrate that their focus on character development has had a positive impact on academic achievement, student behavior, and school climate. Selected schools are then expected to serve as models for other schools, helping them to achieve the same results.
The coveted National Blue Ribbon School award affirms the hard work of educators, families and communities in creating safe and welcoming schools where students master challenging and engaging content.
"I want to congratulate these nine New Jersey public schools for being selected as National Blue Ribbon Schools, the highest recognition bestowed by the United States Department of Education," said New Jersey Education Commissioner Kimberley Harrington. "These schools are being honored thanks to the dedication of their teachers, administrators, students, and school communities working together to achieve educational excellence."
Now in its 35th year, the National Blue Ribbon Schools Program has bestowed recognition on more than 8,500 schools. The Secretary and the Department of Education will celebrate with the 292 public and 50 private schools at an awards ceremony at the Omni Shoreham in Washington, DC on Nov. 6 and 7. The 2017 cohort represents public and non-public elementary, middle, and high schools, including traditional, charter, magnet schools, parochial and independent schools in 44 states, the District of Columbia and Department of Defense Education Activity schools in Okinawa, Japan; Stuttgart, Germany; and West Point, New York.
All schools are honored in one of two performance categories, based on all student scores, subgroup student scores, and graduation rates:
- Exemplary High Performing Schools are among their state's highest performing schools as measured by state assessments or nationally normed tests.
- Exemplary Achievement Gap Closing Schools are among their state's highest performing schools in closing achievement gaps between a school's subgroups and all students over the past five years.
"We are humbled and elated to receive this prestigious award from the United States Department of Education," said Cheesequake Principal Thomas Ferry. "This is a wonderful moment for our school and the Township of Old Bridge. My talented staff and hard-working students have an unwavering commitment to excellence and focus on growth… I am incredibly proud of the staff, students, and parents of the Cheesequake School community and am honored to serve as their principal."
Up to 420 schools may be nominated for the Blue Ribbon award each year. The Department invites National Blue Ribbon School nominations from the top education official in all states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, the Department of Defense Education Activity and the Bureau of Indian Education. Private schools are nominated by The Council for American Private Education (CAPE).
"We are proud of the outstanding progress of all of the staff and students at Cheesequake School," said Assistant Superintendent of the Old Bridge Township Public Schools Kathleen Hoeker. "They set the bar high, and with drive and determination they have achieved this most distinguished honor. They possess the expertise, skills, and knowledge to serve as role models for others and will serve as such, as the very first Blue Ribbon School in Old Bridge."

So, how much should you pay for stocks? Should you just buy them at market prices? When buying stocks, do you just get that gut feeling that this stock would be the key to growing your money?
Yes. And no. Instinct is necessary, and the volatility of the market cannot be accurately measured. If there's an exact science to it, then practically everyone would be investing in stocks. So it takes a calculated, intelligent bet. As I've said, it will be calculated, the risk would be minimized, people with PhDs will be talking all about it, but at the end of the day, it will still be a bet, a risk that you will be taking. A company that is doing so well can suddenly go bankrupt the next day. The probability of that happening is the probability that the stock you'll be investing your money now will be worthless tomorrow – so it is rare. It rarely happens, but it does.
So how do you minimize your risks? How do you know how much the stocks really are? How much you should be paying for them? Are the stocks overvalued? Undervalued? Or just right?
There are pricing models that are used to set an expected price for stocks. If the actual price is equal or near the calculated price, then chances are you are advised to "hold" on the stock buying. Now, if the actual price is higher than the calculated price, then you should "sell", and if the actual price is lower, then "buy".
It is getting the calculated price – your expected price – that we will be discussing now.
1. Future dividends
A simple formula will be taking the dividends that the company is paying out. If XXX Company usually pays $1 per year and you expect them to do so for an indefinite time, then you just have to divide $1 by the total interest rate*. So at 8% interest rate, you expect the stock to be at $12.5. If the stock's price is $15, then you sell the stock. If the stock's selling at $5, then buy them, since you are buying something that you believe is worth $12.5 at merely $5.
*I'll be discussing the concept of the interest rate in another article.
But how many companies pay out a fixed dividend per year? If a company is doing well, chances are these dividends will increase. Hence the next pricing model:
2. Gordon growth model
It is like the previous model, with a new variable – growth. The formula is now
|Expected dividend a year from now
|Interest rate – growth rate
i – g
You can get the growth rate by obtaining the dividends from the past years (around three or five) and getting the average.
The third model is a more complicated one, and will be discussed in the next article.

I just had a birthday, the kind which puts me way too close to 60. But then I saw where The Muppets are coming back to TV this fall and I'm, like, five all over again. And likin' it.
There's nothing like the Muppets, man. Nothing. Well, except maybe Looney Tunes. No, seriously. Here's what I mean, right? Just like with the Muppets, the characters on Looney Tunes can easily be enjoyed and appreciated by small kids all the way up to well, kinda where I'm at right now in life. The characters are well-defined and hilarious, and the storylines (such as they are) are designed to attract the attention of the broadest possible age range. It's the kind of show that parents actually don't mind watching with the kids.
Now, if you're a hardcore adult, which I most certainly am not, then the Muppets probably isn't going to work for you. They rarely discuss world events or politics, they don't curse much, and the closest thing you'll get to a sex scene is Miss Piggy punching Kermit and knocking him halfway across the room. Which, by the way, is also the closest thing you're likely to get to violence too. And usually, coming from someone such as myself who obsesses on flicks like "Alien" and TV series like "True Blood" and "The Wire", you might not necessarily suspect that someone with my tendency toward the twisted would be so enamored with cute, cuddly puppets who sing and dance…
But I am. I say it loud, I am a Muppet Man and I'm proud. Yeah, I said it.
We now return to adulthood.

If I forgo these plantain chips from the supermarket and buy homemade ones from the lady at church, does that make me a better person? In Animal, Vegetable, Miracle, Barbara Kingsolver speaks about the transition from eating industrially to consuming locally and homegrown food. She and her husband along with their two children leave the industrial eating industry in Tucson, Arizona and move to Kentucky to live on a farm and hopefully make a life of eating organically. The book speaks of the trials and tribulations of her family's transition. It is a memoir and journalistic investigation, as the back cover says but at what point does it stop being journalistic and start becoming biased? "Oh, America the Beautiful, where are our standards?"1 Kingsolver states facts about the food industry, but most of the time, the snobbish tone of the book seems to try to sway the reader to pack up, buy a farm, and move to Appalachia.
Barbara Kingsolver was raised in Kentucky, where farming was very prominent. To city-slickers like me, we're raised on supermarket produce without a single thought on where that produce comes from and how it was handled. The point being is that we don't care, but Kingsolver really wants us to. Maybe we just want to go to a diner and order the greasiest burger on our cheat day. "At any price, it's an unusual experience to order a diner burger that does not come with a side of feedlot remorse."2 It's little remarks like this that makes the reader feel like they should look up farm listings and the cost of fertilizer. This book's snobby tone overpowered the informative purpose. "My husband and I decided our children would not grow up without knowing a potato has a plant part."3 I'm pretty sure science class at some point explains the anatomy of a plant, no manual farm labor required. At one point Barbara Kingsolver smuggles in pumpkin in her hotel room. "At worst, they might tell us it's doo-doo because it was grown in a different province."4 Why does Kingsolver think the Italians at her hotel would think this way? With her assuming they would be snobby just shows her snooty mindset.
This isn't a Bash-Barbara-Free-For-All. Those of us who don't care about eating locally and organically probably are a part of the problem. However, what will the pesticides to do us in the long run? Will the workers ever be paid fairly, or will the CEO's keep profiting on a family's livelihood? Kingsolver does in fact make good points about at the very least inquiring about the food we consume. A little less snobbery would just be appreciated.
