Close shave that Mikey, as I tried to sign into my travel pod only to realise it was more than a year since I'd used it and had to dig deep and hard to remember what password I used!! Well done - I assume by now you are battling through ice and snow on you two wheels - anxious mother-in-law says BE CAREFUL and watch out for mad lorries and all the other vehicles skidding throught the passes. Bon Voyage and don't get frost bite - Pols and I off for a Costa (sorry)!! xxxxxxxxx

So much has happened since Polly and I concluded our global expedition on a bike. Bosham Primary school is now a big part of our lives and Polly is enjoying working with a new class of wonderful children. Midhurst Rother College goes from strength to strength and I continue to work very hard to be part of what we hope will be the best school in Sussex. Family and friends grow with engagements, weddings and new arrivals ('big kisses' by the way to my 3 day old God-son, Toby James Storton) and of course, Lavant FC are top of the league with promotion to Sussex Premier league looking a dead cert.
So what is this trip all about? Well, in my early teens there was a wonderful programme on Channel 4 called 'Football Italia'. Many Sunday afternoons were spent watching these beautiful athletes kick a ball around. With their flowing dark hair, rough but cared for stubble and deep rich tans, they were the footballers I wanted to be. One day 'Nevelli' would score against Lazio and the world would hear a completely over-the-top commentator scream "GOOOOOAAAALLLLLLLL NEVELLLLLLLIIIIII". As the years passed, the flowing dark hair never appeared and I was left with a scruffy short crop and rough stubble that became ever more ginger
I decided a few months ago that the least I could do was go and watch these footballing heroes. So here I am, off to the San Siro in Milan to watch the Champions League game between Arsenal and AC Milan. I plan to rock up in Geneva tonight by train and then on Monday morning, start the 280 mile bike ride to Milan. Weather reports are not looking good with heavy snow both sides of the Swiss-Italian border but I am determined to arrive at the stadium of my dreams by bicycle.
The first signs earlier in the day were not great. A two minute walk to Bosham station resulted in an immediate change of plans. There was a broken down train which was clearly not going anywhere for some time. Polly scraped off the ice from the Audi windscreen and off we screeched to Havant where I connected with the Waterloo train.
Attempts to get stuck into the Saturday papers were derailed by an extremely annoying South African lady who was determined to use all of her 500 free minutes a month before she reached Slough
Desperate to find out more about why 'Arry Rednapp is the only choice for the new England boss, I had to move, only to position myself next to the most boring quartet of people you could ever imagine. The two forty-something married couples were off to London to do things like 'see the Queen and ride on the wheel'. They continued to distract me from the papers but at least they reminded me that I really must keep believing that I am 18 yrs old and never accept that I am creeping up on 40. If I ever get to the point where I am sitting on a train talking about the capacity of a laptop processor or whether my next leather jacket should be � length or fur lined, please inject me swiftly with a lethal cocktail.
Kings Cross St Pancras was a relaxed affair. I sat outside for a while before scabby heroin addicts asking for change drove me back to the comfort of Marks and Spencers. I got over the experience with an extravagant BLT. I photographed the incredible structure of St Pancras station and pondered on the words of Betjamen, whose verse is scattered across the terminal floor
Having rolled across Kent and then Northern France, all was looking great until the announcement that we would be half an hour late into Gare du Nord. This meant that my short trip on the metro across to Gare de Lyon suddenly turned into The Krypton Factor. I had only 25 minutes to translate the station signs, withdraw Euros, buy a ticket, dive across platforms and board the 18:11 Geneva express. Gare du Nord was not as welcoming as St Pancras and I was pleased to speed through across the concourse and jump on the waiting train.
Now on my way on the TGV down through France, I am on track and should meet Sid in Geneva at 9pm. The refreshment car has not lived up to the standards one might expect from this cuisine rich country. No food or water, just Kronenbourg 1664 and jus d'orange. Thank goodness Polly sneaked a valentines present into my bag. The jumbo size Toblerone is substituting well for the l'escargots and champagne I was hoping for.

I choose to not go to the MN, I like to get the title then move on. I have limited funds and will chase the AKC titles but once they are completed I go back and just run HRC. I have run a few NAHRA tests but we are limited out here to NAHRA and clubs are leaving every year. When I moved to Montana we had three AKC clubs and three NAHRA clubs. No we only have two AKC clubs and one NAHRA club and that last club is moving to AKC after their NAHRA test is completed this year. So no more NAHRA in Monatana after this year

Binghamton University film series resumes with fall movie line-up
BINGHAMTON, NY – The Harpur Cinema Department at Binghamton University has announced its fall visiting film and video artists series. The films, which are shown at 7:30 p.m. on Tuesdays in Lecture Hall 6 on the Binghamton University campus, are free and open to the public.
The schedule is as follows:
Tuesday, October 11: Visiting artist, Nathaniel Dorsky
The program will include:
- Sarabande (2008) - 15 minutes, color, silent.
- Compline. (2009) - 18.5 minutes, color, silent.
- Aubade. (2010) – 11.5 minutes, color, silent.
- Winter. (2008) – 21.5 minutes, color, silent.
Tuesday Oct. 18: Visiting artist, Dani Leventhal
Program to include:
- Draft 9 (2003) and other videos.
At once tender and savage, Leventhal's video diaries capture the banal and the horrific to reveal the transcendent beauty and pain of daily life. In the award-winning, Draft 9 (2003), Leventhal cuts between skinned animals, salsa dancers, a Holocaust-survivor, and her own romantic liaisons to create, in the words of critic Genevieve Yue, "something that is extraordinarily immediate, both fresh and painful, hard to watch and yet impossible not to watch."
Leventhal studied sculpture at the University of Illinois at Chicago, and received an MFA in Film/Video from Bard College. She received the Visual Arts Award from the Astraea Lesbian Foundation for Justice and produced a limited edition book and video, Skim Milk and Soft Wax at the Women's Studio Workshop with the support of the National Endowment for the Arts and the Andy Warhol Foundation. In 2011, she received the Wexner Center for the Arts Capital R Award.
Tuesday, Nov. 8; Visiting artist, Vincent Grenier
Vincent Grenier teaches cinema at Binghamton University. He is a North American artist born in Quebec City and who now resides in the United States. As well as being a vital member of the New York avant-garde movement, he was also a frequent contributor to the San Francisco and Montreal Art scenes of the 1970's and 1980's. Grenier was a pioneer film programmer, first for Canyon Cinema, later renamed the San Francisco Cinematheque, and then for the Collective for Living Cinema in New York City. Grenier made over two dozens films. In 1990, Grenier became one of the first in a wave of experimental filmmakers to move to video. His films and videos have earned many awards and have been shown all over North America, Europe and China at major museums and festivals, including perennial appearances at the New York Film Festival's Views from the Avant-Garde. Greiner's work was recently the subject of major retrospectives at Media City in Windsor, Ontario, and the Images Film & Video Festival's "Canadian Images Spotlight" in Toronto. In 2010, he received a Guggenheim Foundation Fellowship.
The program will include his most recent work, Burning Bush (2010), which screened in last year's Wavelengths section of the Toronto International Film Festival. Additionally the program will feature Travelogue (2010), Back View (2011), Tableaux Vivants (2011) and Armoire (in 4 parts). All of these works have also been shown at Views from the Avant-Garde at the New York Film Festival.
Tuesday Nov. 15: Visiting artist, Ben Russell
Program to include a screening of TRYPPS 1 – 7
Although Ben Russell is still relatively unknown in Europe, his films have been shown at prestigious international festivals and galleries. The six short films in his experimental 'TRYPPS' series demonstrate why - and how. Despite their material formality, his early attempts at a soundless and abstract 'cinéma pur' are not devoid of the abstract, political comment that has become his self-conscious signature in the later works. The series is Russell's most recent efforts in anthropological meta-documentarism, which are promising to bring about his breakthrough.
The series includes:
Black and White Trypps Number One (6:30, 16mm, 2005),
Black and White Trypps Number Two (9:00, 16mm, 2006)
Black and White Trypps Number Three (12:00, 16mm, 2007)
Black and White Trypps Number Four (11:00, 16mm, 2008)
Trypps #5 (Dubai) (3:00, 16mm, 2008)
Trypps #6 (Malobi) (12:00, 16mm, 2009)
Trypps #7 (Badlands) (10:00, Super16mm, 2010)

Majors and Minors in Journalism and Multimedia Arts
The Department of Journalism and Multimedia Arts empowers students to become effective and thoughtful civic communicators in a wide variety of media.
Students learn media theory – so they can understand the complex roles, functions and ethical obligations of media – and the practical skills that enable them to become successful media practitioners. Our students go on to work for newspapers, magazines, television and radio stations, for-profit and non-profit public relations and advertising agencies and organizations, and a wide array of Web and Multimedia design and development industries in the public and private sectors.
Upon completing the program, students will possess a thorough understanding of media forms and delivery systems that will enhance their power as citizens and position them for careers in the ever-expanding universe of media industries.
Mission Statement
The Department of Journalism and Multimedia Arts acts in concert with the mission of Duquesne University to nurture the individual talents of our students; harness their innate creativity; inspire their passion for innovation; foster their analytical and critical thinking; and encourage their ethical and professional leadership. The department reflects the interdisciplinary nature of the field and the growing synergies between journalism and media innovations while remaining grounded in Catholic values and democratic ideals.
Listed below are the three majors offered in the Department of Journalism and Multimedia Arts.
Digital Media Arts (Multimedia Development or Web Development Concentration)
The Digital Media Arts major consists of two concentrations: Multimedia Development and Web Development.
Digital Media Arts - Multimedia Development
Multimedia is the skillful merging of computers, creative talent, some programming, asset management, the use of advanced software for the creation of digital sound, video, 3-D modeling and animation, design principles and project management. The major focuses on the new media, the organization and display of information, and the development of interactive applications. Students are free to pursue their creative, artistic talents or their desire to aspire to the more technical component of multimedia development. Graduates find employment in media writing, web design, web application development, instructional design, 2- and 3D-Modeling, animation and graphic design.

Multiplatform Journalism
Duquesne University's new Multiplatform Journalism curriculum prepares students to work as multimedia journalists across a wide variety of platforms - from online news sites to traditional print and broadcast outlets. Today's journalist must be multifaceted. A reporter at online news outlet might, in a single day, shoot video, produce an audio story and write several iterations of a story for a Web site and social media sites such as Facebook and Twitter. Conversely, a reporter at a broadcast station or cable outlet might produce both visual and written versions of a story. Multiplatform Journalism equips students with the knowledge and skills to produce content for any platform - and to seize opportunities as new platforms emerge. In this program, you'll learn to interview, research, report, write, shoot and edit audio and video, create graphics and master social media.

Appiah to explore 'Life of Honor' in lecture series
Posted March 18, 2009; 08:00 p.m.
Princeton philosophy professor Kwame Anthony Appiah will deliver a series of lectures on "The Life of Honor?" at 4:30 p.m. Tuesday through Thursday, March 24-26, in McCosh 10.
Appiah, the Laurance S. Rockefeller University Professor of Philosophy and the University Center for Human Values, will address the following topics: "The Death of the Duel" on March 24; "The End of Footbinding" on March 25; and "Lessons and Legacies" on March 26.
The lecture series is part of Appiah's yearlong distinction as the Romanell-Phi Beta Kappa Professor. The honor is awarded annually by the Phi Beta Kappa Society to scholars in the field of philosophy to recognize distinguished achievement and contribution to public understanding of philosophy. Recipients give a series of three special lectures during their professorship.
Known as one of the world's most distinguished moral and political philosophers, Appiah also explores issues that capture the interest of the public at large. Appiah is the author of more than 10 books of philosophy and three works of fiction. His most recent book, "Experiments in Ethics," explores experimental philosophy and the connection between moral philosophy and the sciences. His 2006 book "Cosmopolitanism: Ethics in a World of Strangers" was awarded the Council on Foreign Relations' Arthur Ross Book Award.
Appiah, a Princeton faculty member since 2002, has taught in the United States, Germany, France and South Africa. He is chair of the board of directors of the American Council of Learned Societies, a member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences and the recipient of numerous fellowships and honorary degrees.
The event is sponsored by the Office of the Dean of the College, University Center for Human Values and Department of Philosophy, and the New Jersey chapter of the Phi Beta Kappa Society.

The trombone is essentially a big slide trumpet – in fact, the name trombone means in Italian "big trumpet".
While there are unverified stories dating the trombone back to the Spartans in 685 B.C., the first authenticated trombone arrived in the 14th century with the first use of the tuning slide (the trombone slide is simply an elongated, easily operated tuning slide).
This instrument was given the name Sackbut, which was derived from the Spanish and means "a pump". By the 18th century, its popularity considerably increased, and it was given the more dignified name of trombone.
Later on in the 18th century, with the advent of valves for musical instruments, valve trombones were first made. The valves, however, had inherent idiosyncrasies in pitch so could not compete with the infinitely variable pitch of the slide which could be played in perfect tune, Thus, the early valve trombone was not popular until more acoustical knowledge was developed to place valve instruments more nearly in pitch with themselves.
Until the 1900's the trombone had advanced little in mechanical perfection. Trombones were still much like the "Sackbut" era and their unwieldy slides greatly inhibited the free flow of the music there were capable of producing.
The addition of the F tubing with rotary valve to fill the five semi-tone gap between the E below the staff to pedal Bb was first done by Adolph Sax. While this is considered a feature of the bass trombone, its use in the tenor instruments is not new, having been so used in Sax's day.
Because the slide length of the modern trombone has been shortened for easy access to its 7th position, the F valve still doesn't complete the chromatic pedal scale. The customary procedure to secure this note has been to make the tuning slide of the F section long enough to lower it to E. This method is not altogether satisfactory, and has been overcome with a second valve and trigger lowering the instrument to D, making the missing note instantly available.
Kanstul has been a leader in modern trombone development. The CR Valve (full bore, lightweight) and open wrap design are just two modern refinements.

My work is linked to my environment, the places where I collect and make my work provide me with a great variety of materials and thoughts. I have been working in a rural studio in central Victoria with hollow bone and empty gut. My intention was to make vessels which would pass fluids; fix the drought, soothe the dry and tearless, and nourish the thirsty. I have been happily absorbed in the basic mechanics of flow (some goes in, some comes out). My sculptures start on the inside so 'the plumbing', like most aspects of their construction, becomes layered and concealed until a resolved surface is eventually achieved.
When a big northerly blows in off the desert there is not much to it other than heat and dirt and weirdness. Outside my studio I could see my linen on the line getting whipped up and dragged through the dry red earth. Torn to shreds, I brought it in, bound, tied and secured it to my work. Aquamanile: Cow has been made waterproof and has a slow flow from her eyes to her udder when used as an aquamanile.

Deeplinks Blog posts about Anonymity
The Canadian national anthem proudly honors "The True North strong and free!" Yet Canadians face an imminent round of frightening online spy proposals that threaten long held civil liberties and privacy rights. Public Safety Minister Vic Toews has insisted that he won't budge in his support of online spying legislation despite heavy criticism from privacy watchdogs.
Next week, several EFF staffers will be speaking at the first-ever Silicon Valley Human Rights Conference (Rightscon) in San Francisco. The conference, organized by Access Now and sponsored by several foundations and companies, brings together some of the leading thinkers in the digital human rights space, as well as representatives of technology companies from Silicon Valley and beyond for discussions on the human rights implications of the ICT industry. The conference (tickets are still available here!) is jam-packed with excellent speakers and participants, and promises to provide new insights into solutions for the myriad problems facing Silicon Valley companies today.
Corporate Social Responsibility and the ICT Industry
NextGov.com is reporting that the FBI will begin rolling out its Next Generation Identification (NGI) facial recognition service as early as this January. Once NGI is fully deployed and once each of its approximately 100 million records also includes photographs, it will become trivially easy to find and track Americans.
Proponents of pseudonymity scored a major victory today, when Google executive Vic Gundotra revealed at the Web 2.0 Summit that social networking service Google+ will begin supporting pseudonyms and other types of identity.
The news comes after several months of what has been dubbed Nymwars, in which opposing parties have debated--often heatedly--the merits of the Google+ policy requiring users to identify using their "common name." While EFF recognizes the rights of companies to determine their own policies, we have repeatedly taken the side of users who have argued that the use of a pseudonym grants them greater freedom in expressing themselves online.
Just three months ago, we at EFF expressed our disappointment with Australia's two largest Internet service providers (ISPs), Telstra and Optus, for agreeing to implement a filtering scheme after a filtering bill from the Australian government failed to pass.

The greatest value increase is expected from the sickle cell anemia market
Singapore: According to GBI Research, global therapeutic markets for sickle cell anemia, thalassemia and hereditary angioedema (HAE) are all expected to exhibit uninspired growth. The greatest value increase is expected from the sickle cell anemia market, which is forecast to climb at a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of nine percent, from $36m in 2012 to $70m in 2019.
Meanwhile, the global HAE therapeutics market is predicted to increase at a CAGR of three percent during the same period, from $1.5 billion to $1.9 billion.
Mr Kimberley Carter, Associate Analyst at GBI Research said, "Even though orphan blood disorders are rare, the three diseases featured in this report are hereditary and have a large impact on the lives of the families and ethnic groups afflicted by these diseases. Many of these diseases cause debilitating health issues and limit lifespan. Because of this there is a great need for curative and disease modifying therapies."
"While this may require significant R&D investment, any drugs that are successful in treating these diseases can be expected to be priced at the highest premium range."
All three ailments studied in the new report have weak product pipelines, with most upcoming treatments either too similar to currently available options, or insufficiently promising to make any real impact.

Hi sorry it took so long to reply to your message. Bear is alive hes now 12 and a half but he isnt being bred anymore. His son is at stud in Canda the website is www.prairestorm.ca the dog is Cruise.
Sorry rebelatstud.com
Saw your thread asking about rebel with a cause. I have a puppy with rebel's genes so I have done some studying on him. I think you can find what you are looking for on rebelstud.com
My first exposure to Boo was as a judge. Boo won the trial (Am stake 72 dogs). Very biddable at the line, sat quietly & stepped on 7 marks. His blind work was exceptional. Water work great, even with a cool early spring trial with cold water. I then kept notice of Boo while competing against him at several other trials, including the 2010 Nat'l which he won. I bred to Boo about 2 mos prior to that nat'l. Boo is good size, not too large 67-70#, not given to too much excitement yet very stylish, smart & courageous even on long cross-wind water marks. I have a Boo pup from my MH/QAA female. My pup got a 4th in his 1st FT entry at 17 mos - a qualifiying stake, he has since rec'd 3 derby JAMs out of 4 entries. My pup is very good looking, larger than Boo (75#), a good marker, loves the water, is quiet & intelligent. He is a little weak on long all-age water marks at this point but considering he is only 23 months I have great expectations for his FT success.

Can you tell what kind of fish this is?
We recently purchased a house with a small pond with 6 goldfish. We had it professionally cleaned and got the filtration fixed so it is appropriate for the size of the pond. I can finally see my fish! They are soo beautiful. 5 seem to be various colored comet goldfish. But I can't figure out what kind of goldfish this other fish is. He is black which almost shimmers blue/purple in the sun. His belly may be a tan color. His fins are shaped a little different and he has a different swim pattern. I have attached two pictures. They aren't great but there were the best I could get since he is super fast. He is the slowest to get use to me sitting around the pond.
I'm pretty sure that it's a Black Metallic Comet. I could be wrong, but it sure looks and sounds like one!
The reason for the slower swimming speed, and different swimming pattern, is because Comets are concidered to be a "fancy goldfish". They have longer, more flowing fins that make them a lot less agile. The plain orange fish in your picture is a common goldfish. See the difference in the two types of fins? The common goldfish has those short, sharp fins that give them that extra speed and agility.

text: Beth Hatton develops narratives on the exploitation of the Australian environment and the implications of invasive agricultural policies on native fauna. In Imprint #2 she uses a grotesquely enlarged image of a fingerprint as a leitmotif and metaphor for the personal responsibility of those involved in wildlife management. Evoking the marsupial-skin rug, a fashion of the colonial period that brought some native species close to extinction, Hatton's work also uses skin. The strips of fur in Hatton's work, however, are off-cut waste sourced from the industries that produce kangaroo-skin products. Her technique is based on the thrifty traditional practice of rag weaving, where available materials are recycled. Hatton's skin rugs offer warmth and revulsion in equal measures, pointing to the contradictions in contemporary attitudes to wildlife conservation.

Lecture explores computers and art
Posted February 14, 2008; 11:17 a.m.
"When Computers Look at Art: Computer Vision and Image Analysis in Humanistic Studies of the Visual Arts" is the title of a talk by scientist David Stork set for 4:30 p.m. Tuesday, Feb. 19, at the Stewart Film Theater, 185 Nassau St.
Stork is chief scientist at the technology research company Ricoh Innovations and a visiting scholar at Stanford University. He will discuss new computer techniques that have been used to detect forgeries in works of art. His talk also will explore what computers can reveal about artworks and how computer image analysis is changing the understanding of art. The lecture, which is geared to nonscientists, will include works by Jackson Pollack, Vincent van Gogh and Jan van Eyck.
Stork has written about the field of optics and arts for two decades and is the author of "Seeing the Light: Optics in Nature, Photography, Color, Vision and Holography."
The event is part of the /@rts ("slash arts") lecture series.

I dare to say that most family historians frequently overlook genealogical clues that are hiding in our homes? Thank goodness for clues that Charlie's ancestors left behind in their autograph books. The Geiger family is fortunate to have not one, but two autograph books with entries dated as early as 1881. I dare say that Pauline Geiger and her future sister-in-law, Theresa Lutz, obtained their books at nearly the same time and each made an entry in each other's books, signing as "cousin." I don't know if the girls were first, second, or most distant cousins, but I expect the common surname is Singer. I've not completed the research on their relationship at this point in time.
Besides containing the signature of the individual that autographed the book, most of the entries are dated and provide his/her residence. In some cases, elaborate art work is provided.
The autograph book of Pauline (Geiger) Weidner has nine-nine signed entries including her two step children. Theresa (Lutz) Geiger's book surfaced a couple of years ago and I'm just beginning to scan and analysis the entries therein.

Martin, it is perl, not pearl.
Ivoks, Zimbra has major problems. The first issue is that they have an evil license. And then you get to what they bundle with Zimbra, in hacked versions of Postfix, MySQL, apache, Cyrus and more. You can see it all in the ThirdParty section of their svn. A beautiful security nightmare, if you ask me.
Then there is their Evolution conector:
Zimbra is hardcoded against Evolution 2.6/2.8, and not 2.12see this mail posted to the evolution-hackers list.
All of this points to an "all mine, none for you" development ethos. When I asked a Zimbra rep at either Ubuntu Live or OSCON 2007 about their massive patches, the only response was "they didn't do what we wanted and the patches are not suitable to go upstream".
And yes, Ubuntu is far more than Canonical. I was specifically referring to where Canonical should spend it's money in the next year. It should also be noted that in most cases Canonical use cases align very nicely with community ones.
As for Evolution, I widely suspect the only bit we will still be talking about in 5 years will be Evolution-Data-Server (or a succesor).
It seems that there is some discussion of where Canonical should focus their effort in 2008. The Enterprise Linux Log started this all off with The Big Three of Linux: Looking ahead to 2008. They get it bang on with this statement:
The ultimate achievement would be when Canonical finally creates an Active Directory-like system to integrate its server OS and desktop OS into a single, manageable environment.However, Linuxloop.com disagrees with this, saying in a blog post Canonical's Future: Enterprise or Consumer?:
Instead, I believe that Ubuntu should continue to pursue the consumer desktop and, for now, leave the enterprise customers to big companies like Red Hat and Novell.. Now, aside from this issues that this not an either/or situation (office works need usable desktops as much as home users and look at the amazing things Dave does at the City of Largo with Compiz on thin clients) it is also ignoring why Microsoft won large numbers of customers from Novell and others with Windows 2000. Simply put: Active Directory destroys the competition. The tight integration of client and desktop is a major win for admins. Tie this in with integrated messaging via Exchange and you easily see why we have not made major inroads.
However, all is not lost. Apt-get, our repository system and the integration it offers is unsurpassed. A few server bits and an LDAP schema and we could have the beginnings of a highly integrated software control system. OpenChange with OpenLDAP are going to allow us to catchup and maybe one of these days Evolution will support mass config.
We (Ubuntu) also have a major advantage: you. There is no free (or Free) integrated solution for this out there. MS and Novell both charge and RH isn't there yet. Enterprise Linux Log correctly points this out, saying:
Canonical is in the unique position of having herds of passionate users behind them.
Imagine what a one toe installation of a directory-managed Ubuntu will look like...
GNOME Do and the Deskbar are both wonderful projects and although I find the UI fo GNOME Do (and Quicksilver) most useless, they are both spending a lot of time doing exactly the same things...
As avid readers of BoingBoing will know, Canada is likely to be passing a new copyright law in the next month. The current Conservative gov't is withholding specific information about this new law to stiffle public debate. Jim Prentice, the Industry Minister, whose ministry is responsible for copyright law in Canada, has refused to come on Search Engine, a CBC program talking about culture and the net. It is critical that they don't get away with this. Online Rights Canada is running a great Contact your MP campaign and Michael Geist has other people you should contact. Don't let them get away with this!

The Fridge has a very handy little feature for those who are very forgetful about upcoming events: our calendar. However, as you can see, it is a little empty right now. If you have any events you are running as part of your LoCo team or a larger project-wide team, email us to get it added. And for those who have already emailed us and don't see it, I will be trawling the archives tonight. for anything we might have missed.
I have arrived back from FOSSCamp and UDS Boston. Had a little issue with weather which caused a delay in my flight out of Boston until 10pm which meant I got to spend 6 hours in a hotel (at Alaska Air's expense) to wait for the next flight out. Then of course, I had a nice delay in Seattle due to weather again. All these delays meant I arrived home after about 16 hours of travel, twice what I was planning. I did get a nice reminder of why I live in Victoria. As the flight crossed the border, the weather cleared. What was raining and completely socked in ground fog became gloriously clear skies.
Minor flight details aside, UDS and FOSSCamp rocked! Thanks to Canonical for sponsoring me again and for running such great events. I especially want to thank James Troup (elmo) and Chris Jones (Ng) for keeping all of the infrastructure up and running. Scott Ritchie, my roommate, commented that phones actually worked this time! Having run my an Asterisk box at my last work place, I can feel their pain.
As an aside, I highly recommend Alaska Air/Horizon Air. Every single of their employees was professional and courteous. Besides the hotel voucher, I also got two "free money" vouchers for food, valid at any SeaTac store for anything.
As I say in the title, if you are at UDS in Boston, please mail me or grab me in the hallway.

Cholesterol can't dissolve in the blood. It must be transported through your bloodstream by carriers called lipoproteins, which got their name because they're made of fat (lipid) and proteins.
The two types of lipoproteins that carry cholesterol to and from cells are low-density lipoprotein, or LDL, and high-density lipoprotein, or HDL. LDL cholesterol and HDL cholesterol, along with one fifth of your triglyceride level, make up your total cholesterol count, which can be determined through a blood test.
View an animation of cholesterol.
LDL (Bad) Cholesterol
LDL cholesterol is considered the "bad" cholesterol because it contributes to plaque, a thick, hard deposit that can clog arteries and make them less flexible. This condition is known as atherosclerosis. If a clot forms and blocks a narrowed artery, heart attack or stroke can result. Another condition called peripheral artery disease can develop when plaque buildup narrows an artery supplying blood to the legs.
HDL (Good) Cholesterol
HDL cholesterol is considered "good" cholesterol because it helps remove LDL cholesterol from the arteries. Experts believe HDL acts as a scavenger, carrying LDL cholesterol away from the arteries and back to the liver, where it is broken down and passed from the body. One-fourth to one-third of blood cholesterol is carried by HDL. A healthy level of HDL cholesterol may also protect against heart attack and stroke, while low levels of HDL cholesterol have been shown to increase the risk of heart disease.
Triglycerides are another type of fat, and they're used to store excess energy from your diet. High levels of triglycerides in the blood are associated with atherosclerosis. Elevated triglycerides can be caused by overweight and obesity, physical inactivity, cigarette smoking, excess alcohol consumption and a diet very high in carbohydrates (more than 60 percent of total calories). Underlying diseases or genetic disorders are sometimes the cause of high triglycerides. People with high triglycerides often have a high total cholesterol level, including a high LDL cholesterol (bad) level and a low HDL cholesterol (good) level. Many people with heart disease or diabetes also have high triglyceride levels.
Lp(a) Cholesterol
Lp(a) is a genetic variation of LDL (bad) cholesterol. A high level of Lp(a) is a significant risk factor for the premature development of fatty deposits in arteries. Lp(a) isn't fully understood, but it may interact with substances found in artery walls and contribute to the buildup of fatty deposits.

Turn buttery shortbread into something extra special by simply topping with caramel, chocolate and a sprinkle of salt. It's a winning combination!
If desired, substitute 1 can (13.4 oz) dulce de leche (caramelized sweetened condensed milk) for the caramels and milk. Spread each cookie with dulce de leche and proceed as directed.
You can omit the coarse salt on top of the cookies and instead add a dash of salt to the cookie dough.
For a quick and easy way to drizzle the chocolate, spoon melted chocolate into a small resealable food-storage plastic bag. Cut off a tiny corner of the bag and squeeze bag to drizzle the chocolate evenly over cookies.

I also did not mention that in the video there is no check cord, no ecollar, no heeling stick but that doesn't mean I had no tools.

Serves 4-8
This chicken gets its rich complexity from wood smoke and layers of flavors: a spice rub, a mustardy mop sauce, and a zesty-sweet barbecue sauce that's seared onto the meat for a gorgeous lacquered finish. For the best smoky flavor, use a charcoal grill.
In a small bowl, whisk together all of the ingredients and break up any lumps with your fingers.
In a medium bowl, whisk together all of the ingredients.
Melt the butter in a 1-quart saucepan over medium-low heat. Add the shallots and ginger and cook, stirring, until lightly browned, 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in the brown sugar, lemon juice, and mustard, increase the heat to medium, and simmer gently, whisking often, until the sauce has thickened, 4 to 6 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
Put 1-1/2 cups of wood chips (preferably oak) in a large bowl and cover with water. Let soak for 30 minutes, then drain.
Put each chicken breast side down on a cutting board. Using kitchen shears or a sharp knife, cut out the backbones of the chickens (save for another use or discard). Open the chickens like a book and cut through the breast bones to separate the chickens into halves. Pat the chicken halves dry with paper towels. Using your hands, rub 1 Tbs. oil over the skin of each chicken half, then rub each half with a quarter of the spice rub. Let stand at room temperature while preparing the grill.
Prepare a gas or charcoal grill fire for indirect grilling over medium heat (350°F).
If using a charcoal grill, bank the coals to one side. Put a 10x15-inch foil drip pan next to the coals and fill it halfway with water. Sprinkle the soaked wood chips over the coals. Replace the grill grate.
If using a gas grill, put a 10x15-inch foil drip pan on the inactive burners and fill it halfway with water. Use two layers of heavy-duty aluminum foil to make a V-shaped packet to hold the wood chips. Set the foil packet between the active burners. Sprinkle 1/2 cup of dry wood chips into the foil packet and let them ignite. Once they are smoking well, sprinkle a handful of the soaked chips over the dry chips to create even more smoke. Replace the grill grate.
Clean the grate with a wire brush and, using tongs, wipe the grate with a paper towel or cloth dipped in oil.
Put the chicken halves skin side up over the drip pan and cover the grill.
Smoke the chicken for 20 minutes, then use a heatproof barbecue mop or other brush to coat it with some of the mop sauce. Continue grilling the chicken, brushing with the mop sauce every 15 minutes, until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of a thigh reads 160°F, about 45 minutes. During this time, switch positions of the chicken halves if they're not cooking evenly, but do not flip. If using a gas grill, add more soaked chips through the grate as necessary to keep the smoke going. (Discard any remaining mop sauce.)
Continue to grill, covered (without adding more chips if using a gas grill), until the skin is deep golden-brown and an instant-read thermometer inserted into a thigh reads 170°F, 10 to 15 minutes more.
Brush the skin side of the chicken halves with all of the barbecue sauce. Using tongs, flip the chicken halves skin side down directly over the heat and cook until the sauce begins to sizzle and brown, 2 to 3 minutes.
Transfer the chicken halves to a platter and let rest for at least 5 minutes before serving.
Serve the chicken with Grilled Corn on the Cob, Traditional Cole Slaw, and your favorite potato salad.

Zeolite is a natural cream-colored mineral that has the capability of capturing small molecules such as ammonia, formaldehyde and sulfides. Potassium Iodide is a catalyst that breaks down formaldehyde and related substances into a form more easily absorbed by the carbon/zeolite mixture. The enhanced absorption capacity traps other chemicals such as Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs). They are all placed into one large cartridge that scrubs incoming air of all odors and chemicals.

I dug out Star Wars Tales # 13 again. It was an all Mace Windu issue.
I liked the story of how he got the purple lightsaber from his mission to Hurrikane and the stone peoples he met there.
The story of the warlord he took down, who first mistook him for a bounty hunter, was equally awesome.
I also like how he showed a more human side as he returned that child to Sollust, which the bounty hunter sought to extract straight out of the Jedi nursery. It gave depth to Mace to know that his real parents still sought contact with him - and probably at a time in their lives when they were very near to their deaths and just wanted one meeting with their son. They must've watched him make the news throughout their lives as a 'recognizeable relative' that must've been their boy rose up through the Jedi ranks to ascend to the High Council leadership itself. I'm sure the name Mace Windu is inter-galactically well-known by the time of the Battle for Naboo. But we see how committed and entrusting of Jedi traditions Mace really is, as he deletes the message from his parents, preferring never to reply than open that can of worms, even as he returns the young Sollustan padawan back to his natural parents.
In the time nearer the Clone Wars, the story of how he puts an arrogant Anakin in his place (yup, Anakin wants to be tested and Mace Windu FAILS him!) was a very cool read.
Meanwhile, his Clone Wars story by Jon Ostrander and Jan Duursema ranks as probably the best Clone Wars piece to date, as the famed Weequay Jedi Master turns to the Dark Side, and conspires with Ventress to kill off the Jedi who trusted him most.
Mace Windu got really interesting since his involvement in those stories, and I can't wait for his novel, SHATTERPOINT, to come into stores near me.
In any case, these stories that developed Mace Windu made him far more interesting than anything George Lucas has done. I could sense Sam Jackson trying to pour out as much into the character as he could, with as little as Lucas gave him.
I know Mace is not a 'main character,' but he almost borderlines on it, and his role in Episode 3 will be sure to be significant, too. Phantom Menace just had too many other more key characters to develop, and the Jedi Master was left to the writers' and fans' imaginations. Finally, they've done a really good job with it.
I hope Sam Jackson is as pleased as I am.

TUPELO – The Tupelo City Council authorized Tuesday proceeding with eminent domain related to property near the Highway 78 bridge, one of the last remaining structures needed before a new city thoroughfare can open.
In a special council meeting called to approve eminent domain actions, the council unanimously granted permission for city attorney John Hill to pursue "abutters' rights" to the property owned by Brian and Melissa Sisk.
Hill said the legal action doesn't involve taking any actual property, only the city taking front right-of-way access.
As part of the legal efforts to seek access to the right of way for the property, Hill said the city of Tupelo will compensate the Sisks a few thousand dollars for right-of-way use.
One of two bridges along the Northern Loop thoroughfare, construction of the Highway 78 bridge is expected to begin in a matter of weeks.
City leaders said they chose to pursue legal action instead of continued negotiations because of the time-sensitive nature of construction.
"It was our understanding they'd already agreed to sign it," said Greg Pirkle, chairman of the Major Thoroughfare Program.
Pirkle said this right-of-way issue is the last remaining property-related issue for the bridge.
The Northern Loop is expected to open in fall or winter 2014.

Riverbed Technology (RVBD) ended the day up more than 8% on news that it may be considering a sale as it fields pressure from activist investor Elliott Associates.
Riverbed is said to be working with Goldman Sachs (GS) to explore strategic alternatives, anonymous sources tell Bloomberg.
Elliott reported a 10.4% stake in the company last week, and complained in its SEC filing that the stock, which has lagged the market this year, is undervalued.
Riverbed responded by saying that it is "focused on creating value for all of our shareholders" and is maintaining an open dialogue with Elliott. It also adopted a shareholder rights plan several days later.

I need to get up earlier in the morning, Jargo keeps beating me to the punch on replies to posts. As you see from his post, yes, there was a portly Gungan.
My favorite? Jar Jar Binks of course.
What? Oh, this isn't who is your favorite Gungan to hate? Ooops! Make that Boss Nass then.
In all actuallity, I entered into watching TPM with a strong conviction to hate Jar Jar Binks. And at first I was not disappointed in the least ("Exqueeeezzze me!" Nice dialogue George/Amad). But then I developed a love/hate feeling for Jar Jar, switching at intervals between the two. In the end that nutty Gungan wound up growing on me and I liked him despite himself.
Tarpals was a great example of a Gungan with a reserved personality, not too far in either extreme, one of the big problems when a director (of human actors) unleashes animators and directors therof on part of his film and seems to take no active interest in controlling their efforts (a prime example is the elongated musical number in Jabba's Palace in ROTJ:SE, I would hope that had Lucas been directing a human singer, he would not have driven the camera straight down his throat, as the animators did with Joh Yowzah, a serious breach of quality filmmaking protocol that reduced the sequence to Loony Tunes).
Now that I am off of my soapbox, I will cast my lot with Boss Nass. At first I wondered that he was a Gungan at all, until late in the film when we see his ear-thingies tucked behind his hat-thingie. I like the thought that he is a different species (or perhaps ethnicity) of Gungan than the majority of Utah Gungah. The question of why the others follow his lead is simple enough to answer, as "Boss" he is something like the president or king of his people, of all their varied ethnicity. Perhaps most of the red-brown, scrawny Gungans populate that city (the one most convenient to the battlegrounds as it worked out) while other green and purple skinned types (like Nass and Tarpals, remember, he had different colored skin too, and whiskers) are predominant in other cities that were too remote to have lent their armies to the ground battle. Brian Blessed is one of my all time favorite actors and a large than life character in his own right. I was glad to see that he could be a part of the Star Wars saga, which has always had a fine sampling of British actors and actresses.
Bottom line with the Gungans is that there was not ample time to flesh out their culture and the differences between them. A nice touch would have been to intermingle green and purple skinned Gungans amidst those in the ground battle. This would not have increased the cost or difficulty involved in producing those sequences and would have prevented such confusion as to Tarpals and Nass' origins.

For what it's worth......maybe it's the scientist in me, but the lack of concrete data to support this move is puzzling.
California Bans Recreational Fishing in Channel Islands
(Alexandria, VA) In what many anglers fear may be the first in a series of sweeping nationwide closures, yesterday California Governor Gray Davis dismissed the concerns of anglers and scientists by slamming the door on some of the most popular recreational fishing areas in Southern California.
"We all have an interest in seeing healthy fish, especially anglers," said Mike Nussman, President and CEO of the American Sportfishing Association. "The sportfishing community has long supported focused closures as part of a larger management strategy, but this single-minded philosophy of banning public access absent any scientific or economic merit is misguided."
Under a decision announced late yesterday at a meeting of the California Fish and Game Commission in Santa Barbara, 175 square miles of coastal waters surrounding the Channel Islands, equaling about 30 percent of Southern California's best fishing areas, will be placed permanently off-limits (including catch and release fishing). Not only will thousands of people in the region no longer be able to pursue America's most popular outdoor leisure time sport, but local charter boats, hotels, restaurants and other businesses that rely on angler dollars will suffer. Annual losses in retail sales due to the closures may reach $50 million according to a recent analysis by Southwick Associates, a leading natural resource economic consulting firm.
California is second only to Florida in the number of anglers and the amount of money spent on fishing. More than 2.4 million people in California spend $2.38 billion on recreational fishing each year. In excess of 43,000 jobs and $60 million in state tax revenue is tied to recreational fishing according to an American Sportfishing Association analysis of U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service data.
Anglers are concerned that California may be only the first domino to fall, triggering a broader movement towards unnecessary bans of recreational fishing. Further closures are likely in California and similar efforts are underway in other coastal states including Oregon, Massachusetts and Florida. These efforts, aggressively pushed by several environmental activist organizations, have moved forward despite concerns raised by anglers, conservation groups, respected outdoor journalists, and scientists.
Determined not to allow the California decision to set precedent, anglers and conservation organizations have united to launch the Freedom to Fish campaign. It is a reflection of their shared interest in advancing marine management programs based on sound science and ensuring angler access when recreational fishing is not jeopardizing fish populations. Led nationally by the American Sportfishing Association, the group of supporters includes B.A.S.S./ESPN, Coastal Conservation Association, International Game Fish Association, Jersey Coast Anglers Association, National Marine Manufacturers Association, Recreational Fishing Alliance, Sportfishing Association of California, and United Anglers of Southern California. With a combined membership of over a million, these groups worked with the ASA to craft the Freedom To Fish Act, now pending in Congress, and helped mobilize more than 5,000 angler letters petitioning Congress for its passage.
"With Atlantic striped bass, redfish, white seabass, and many other sportfish, anglers have demonstrated their willingness to sacrifice fishing access or technique when it was necessary to recover fish populations," Nussman said. "What we're seeing now is the theoretical fervor for marine protected areas getting far ahead of the scientific evidence to support such measures."
Numerous independent authorities on fisheries management have expressed unease over the lack of any empirical evidence in support of marine protected areas and disputed the environmentalists' claim that anglers would benefit from massive closures. In findings presented earlier this year to the California Fish and Game Commission, Dr. Robert Shipp, an authority on fisheries management and Marine Sciences Chair at the University of South Alabama, noted that better implementation of existing regulations would be a more common-sense method for recovering depressed fish populations.
Characterizing yesterday's decision on the Channel Islands, Tom Raftican, president of the popular angler organization, United Anglers of Southern California said, "The Commission went blasting ahead with a ready, fire, aim approach. California anglers have just been knocked flat by the train leaving the station. Other states need to take notice because they're next."

Health and well-being task force conducts survey
Posted May 17, 2004; 04:07 p.m.
The University's Task Force on Health and Well-Being is conducting a Web-based survey of students, faculty, staff and postdoctoral researchers.
The survey covers a broad range of health and well-being issues identified as topics of interest earlier this year in focus group discussions. It takes only about 15 minutes to complete.
Members of the University community have been invited to participate via e-mail. A Princeton net ID and password are needed to complete the survey.
A paper survey will be administered to those without access to computers. Retirees will be surveyed at a later date.
This survey is one tool being used by the task force to examine University policies and programs that address the health care needs and promote the health and well-being of students, faculty and staff. The group, charged last fall by President Shirley M. Tilghman, is composed of undergraduate and graduate students, faculty and staff, and is chaired by Janet Dickerson, vice president for campus life, and Robert Durkee, vice president and secretary of the University.
The task force has issued two reports , and expects to present its final report in the fall.

In celebration of Independence Day this July 4th (and the three day weekend countless offices will be looking forward to), our MyCorp team decided to ask a simple, but significant, question to our small business base: how does being an entrepreneur make you feel independent? Meet our 105 entrepreneurial experts with the answers, or as resident expert Dan Fendel so eloquently described it as, "I hold these truths to be self-evident that all business people are NOT created equal, and some of us are endowed by our dreams and ideas with the ability to open new doors and create new ventures."
1) "Being an entrepreneur gives you great independence and flexibility, but it comes with a cost of high risk and increased responsibility. Being in the CEO chair of a company puts all of the burden on me to deliver or else I'm out of business. For me though, after years in private equity and investment banking, it's exactly what I wanted: all the responsibility on me. After understanding that, then it's up for me to decide if I can go on an afternoon run or take a day off knowing that I don't have a boss to blame if things go wrong."
– Chris Good, Founder and CEO, Eventblimp
2) "Independence as an entrepreneur is as much a gift as it is a burden. You generally get to make your own hours, but at the same time you must be self-motivated, there is no one to push you but yourself. Essentially, just like in life, you get what you give."
– David Drexler, My Coin Solution
3) "I love being an entrepreneur, the freedom of working at anytime from anywhere has opened an array of opportunity to spend more time with my kids and have a better quality of life while producing even a higher income that ever before."
– Priska Diaz, Founder & CEO, Bittylab
4) "Being an entrepreneur makes me feel independent because I can work as many hours, or days as I want as I am my own boss responsible for my company's success. Also I can work in my pajamas!"

Festive Drinks 12/23/11
Champagne! Cocktails! Coffee drinks with whipped cream! They're part of many a holiday celebration. But Consumer Reports ShopSmart says you need to watch those liquid calories! "Having just a couple of holiday drinks can be the calorie equivalent of an entire meal." Take this Bailey's Irish Cream. It has more than 300 calories and 13 grams of fat. This hot buttered rum has close to 400 calories and almost 30 grams of sugars! And Starbucks' Venti Peppermint White Chocolate Mocha has 700 calories, 27 grams of fat, and 95 grams of sugars! Lisa Lee Freeman, "If you just have to have one of those sweet holiday coffee drinks, just skip the whipped cream and the whole milk.7707148
That'll save you 100 calories or more, not to mention all the fat and sugars." A good choice - Starbucks Grande Skinny Peppermint Mocha. It has just 140 calories and very little fat. And watch the alcohol. The calories can really add up. Lisa Lee Freeman, "Another way to cut back is simply to skip the creamy drinks and drinks with those sweet, syrupy mixers. And another trick is simply to add seltzer water or club soda."
This wine spritzer and this martini on the rocks both have zero grams of fat and less than 150 calories. Eggnog is a holiday tradition that can also be a real diet buster. A smart swap - Silk Nog. That way you can celebrate with less than half the fat! .."

Carlos Kirjner of Bernstein Research, who late yesterday initiated coverage of Twitter (TWTR) with a Market Perform rating, and a $40 price target, today poses the question, in a separate note to clients, where, exactly, Twitter's $4.5 billion in potential ad revenue in 2018 will come from.
"For example, will Twitter's growth be necessarily detrimental to Facebook or Google, to other online publishers or to traditional media companies?" he posits.
His answer, based on his revenue projections for Twitter, Google (GOOG), and Facebook (FB), is that all three are together going to gobble up greater share of both the total ad pie and the online ad pie:
In aggregate, we expect ad revenues for Twitter, Google (again, ex-TAC for Network) and Facebook to grow from $48 billion in 2013 to $103 billion in 2018, a 16% CAGR. In contrast, third-party sources forecast global advertising revenues, on- and offline, to grow from about $486 billion in 2013 to $649 billion in 2018, a 6% CAGR. The same sources forecast online advertising dollars to grow from $114 billion in 2013 to $201 billion in 2018, a 12% CAGR (see Picture of the Week #1). So, Twitter, Google and Facebook will be growing at 16%, faster than online advertising, which will be growing at 12%, and online advertising will continue to grow faster than overall advertising at 6%. Indeed, if we take these market forecasts as given, then online advertising would grow from 23% of total ad spend to 31%. Our own revenue estimates imply that Google, Facebook, and Twitter's joint share of the online advertising market increase from about 43% today to roughly 51%, a large but not dramatic increase in the concentration of the online advertising market.
Kirjner thinks the trio will steal ad share from other online players, including Yahoo! (YHOO) and AOL (AOL), especially because they are "leading across all important online advertising formats," including video , mobile, and "real-time bidding for programmatic display buying," the last of which is an especially rich area for Twitter, he thinks.
Kirjner does suspect, however, that as the three improve online advertising in general, they may prompt an acceleration of ad buying that ends up expanding the total online ad pie, meaning their own share might not be as great as he's currently modeling.
And that means Old Media may be the losers, he points out: "Google, Facebook and Twitter's growth will come in part from gaining share of other Web players, but overall online advertising will continue to gain share from traditional media, particularly if Google, Facebook and Twitter win."

Frost & Sullivan - Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and irritable bowel syndrome have significant unmet medical need
Singapore: A study by Frost & Sullivan titled, 'Analysis of the expanding US market for gastrointestinal disorders prescription pharmaceuticals' has highlighted that prescription pharmaceuticals indicated for inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) earned revenues of approximately $4.26 billion in 2011 and will reach $7.70 billion in 2017.
The report also pointed out that IBD and IBS represent two families of bowel disorders with a common denominator of significant unmet medical need. The main unmet need in IBD is disease modifying therapies with greater efficacy in order to slow disease progression and maintain remission, particularly for severe patients.
The study further revealed that the development pipeline is bursting with potential candidates to treat IBD. In comparison, however, the IBS pipeline is relatively dry as drug developers struggle to unwind the complex pathology behind this disorder. The main unmet need in IBS is effective therapies indicated specifically to alleviate the symptoms of this syndrome.
Ms Debbie Toscano, senior industry analyst, life sciences, Frost & Sullivan, said that, "Growth opportunities exist for biologicals and other novel agents, particularly for those that justify initiation of therapy earlier in the course of IBD, as well as for first line therapies that incorporate important improvements such as enhanced delivery or administration. There is also a tremendous need for safe and effective treatments for severe forms of IBS, which affects a very sizeable patient population."
Biological therapies such as tumor necrosis factor (TNF) inhibitors prove very effective in getting and keeping IBD patients in remission. However, these drugs are typically reserved for more severe patients, who have tried and failed the standard first line therapies such as aminosalicylates and steroids. However, knowledge gaps in the underlying pathology of these diseases impede the identification of new drug targets and development of agents with superior efficacy compared to available therapies. Patient adherence to complicated therapeutic regimens can also hinder market uptake.
