The dedication of more than 100 volunteers, who give their time to help patients at Derby's two hospitals, has been recognised at a Long Service Awards ceremony.
The volunteers were rewarded for 5, 10, 15, 20, 30, 40 and 50 years of voluntary service.
Almost 500 volunteers provide a crucial service to support patients and visitors at both the Royal Derby and London Road hospitals. They meet and greet the million patients a year who use the hospitals, they operate a buggy service, volunteers help in the bereavement office, and they offer a helping hand across outpatient and rehabilitation clinics.
Sixth form school students also volunteer, helping in the Trust's Mealtime Support project, working alongside nursing staff to support many frail elderly patients. Almost 100 pupils take part in this scheme each year.
Derby Hospitals' Chief Nurse Cathy Winfield said: "Our volunteers provide a crucial service across so many areas of our hospitals and their caring,
compassionate manner means so much to patients and visitors. Today's awards are an opportunity for the Trust to thank them all for their tireless service and dedication and I would like to pay my own personal tribute to each
and every hospital volunteer for the work they do."
One of Derby Hospital's longest serving volunteers, Dorothy Roberts, was rewarded for her 40 years of voluntary service. Dorothy, who helps in the tea room at London Road Community Hospital, said: "I've been volunteering for 40 years, helping first in the old DRI canteen and now in the tea room.
Visitors, patients and staff appreciate the fact that we're always there for them with a cup of tea or coffee."

Antioch police are investigating the shooting of a 7-year-old boy in the backyard of a home on William Reed Drive on Saturday afternoon.
Medics airlifted the boy by helicopter to Children's Hospital Oakland after he was struck by one round. Antioch police said the boy is expected to survive.
The child and his parents were visiting from out of town for a barbecue. No one else was injured, police said.
Someone called police at 4:17 p.m. to report a weapon had been fired in the yard multiple times. Investigators said the gunfire came from an area near the G Street overcrossing.
Children's Hospital could not yet be reached for comment.
The Antioch Police Department ask anyone with information about the shooting to call 925-778-2441. Anonymous tips can also be sent via text to 274637 (CRIMES), keyword ANTIOCH.

emergency i an earnest advocate of temperance a democrat yearning for the salvation of the party a presbyte rian of the straitest sect ask space in your columns for a few reflections in wahdiing the movement i have been filled with shame and sorrow to see our southern church lowering her standard and descending into the arena of politics — a church which heretofore has not soiled her garments 1 bui standing firm and fearless in her pun tv and integrity has held herself aloof from all political organizations now some of her pulpits are turned into electioneering stands now pitiful sight we see congregations returning from the holy place not with heart cheered and strengthened by precious gospel truths and promises uui a hearts filled with excite ie ■- to : probable effect of the day's discoursi upon the next election ' <>,\ . u gold become dim how is the most tin gold changed another objectionable feature in this movement is the part taken by the ladies h the day coming when we shall see our southern women vieir.g with their northern sisters in clamoring for wo man's rights ? godforbid yet things seem tending that way in justifica tion of their active participation in this movement it is argued that they are the greatest sufferers from intem perance granted but are they us ing the most effectual means for their own relief in all kindness i would ask them if there is no better way of advancing the cause of temperance than by canvassing town and count with petitions and pledges and denoun cing as intemperate and un-christian those who do not view matters from their standpoint are not these pledges often signed only to be broken except those whose church vows should be a sufficient safeguard without any addi tional restrain and just here mr editor let me remark that it has al wavs peenied to me one of the addest commentaries upon the sacredness of church vows that christian men and women are called upon to si^ti temper ance pledges i am familiar with the argument that they sign for example's sake hut should not the fact of church-membership be a sufficient guar antee to the world for temperance in all things i may be old-fashioned yet it seems to me that a godly walk and conversation would exert a more pow erful intiuer.ce than the signing of ten thousand pledges do not understand me as objecting to temperance pledges if it can be proved that they accomplish any good whatsoever i am only con tending for the supremacy of church vows we all know that women are said to be responsible for the prevalence of in temperance i neither affirm nor deny this statement but simply refer to the fact that we may 1 not say daily see mothers smiling approval while daughters plight their troth to men well known to be fond of a social glass i am not a prohibitionist therefore i do not call in question their right to do this but may not these periodical up heavals of society these constant de mands upon our sympathy for broken hearted wives be attributed in part at least to this fact oh consistency thou art a jewel 1 1 will encroach no further upon your valuable space but allow me to say in conclusion that it is refreshing in these days of time-serving and pandering to public sentiment to find a man who in spite of taunts hurled at him by news papers and neighbors has the manli ness and moral courage to stand up boldly for what he believes to be the best interests of his people may suc cess crown your efforts yours truly presbyterian riot and bloodshed may 5th was a dreadful day in mil waukie wis and chicago mobs prevailed in both cities growing out of the labor strikers there is a very strong communistic party in these cities composed almost exclusively of foreigners and they it seems were the authors of the disturbances

that two men were killed at the best brewery is found to be un true several shots were fired but no person was killed three men were killed at bay view and five or six wounded every one of these bears

dispersing the mob in a greater part the rioters or those of the polish nationality at least return ed to the south side of the city and proceeding to sack the residence of capt borchardt of the kosciusko guard yesterday the tiring having been done by that company the residence is a complete wreck the infuriated polanders then assembled near the polish church and it is rumored that tint they decided to arm themselves and make another raid on the militia but up to this hour they had not done so chicago the police are rapidly col lecting evidence against the chief con spirators among the anarchists they searched spies office this morning and found absolute proof that the in flammatory circulars mentioned in these dispatches and headed tjevenge working men to arms and another headed attention workingmeii were found with the form in type these were taken possession of and locked up in the central station as evidence that spies aiid schwad directly incited the riot and bloodshed

they were all seized mayor harrison with several detectives visited the arbei ter zeitung office today and held a con sultation with oscar neibe who said he did not belong to the office but was employed to get out the paper the mayor told him that the paper would not be issued until inspected by mi hand whom lie would send for that purpose neibe promised that nothing of an inflammatory nature should ap i pear in the paper before the paper was issued however another raid was made on the printing oliice and twenty-five printers wen arrestedand arraigned be fore justice merchand

strikers at the deering reaper works held an open air meeting on the prarie near the factory at lit o'clock they demand eight hours work and tt'n hours pay double pay for over time and 20 per cent advance for piece work it is learned that schwab one of the men now under arrest addressed these strikers last night urging them to this course the striking freight handlers li a d intended m a k i n g a parade today but have issued orders countermanding it they also adopted resolutions condemning the anarchists and tendering their services if needed to preserve the public peace the sheriff has not yet been called upon but the militia are in their ar mories ready to turn out at moment's notice between 3000 and 4000 police have been armed with springfield rifles and every man on the force is armed with 44 calibre revolvers three thou sand men employed in the great car shops at pullman laid down their tools and went out this morning joining 1.000 who quit yesterday there are no men working in town today ex cept the men employed in the truck shops who do not number over 500 chicago may 5 — the arbeiter y/i tung a herman paper edited by speis a socialist who was one of the speak ers who incited yesterday's riot at aic cormick's says vvorkinginen the hated police yes terday murdered lour of your brothers and wounded perhaps twenty-live more at mccormick's factory had your brothers who had nothing but stones to defend themselves with been armed with good weapons and a few dynamite bombs none of the murderers would have escaped his well deserved fate as it was only four of them police men were wounded that is sad yesterday's massacre occurred that 40,000 strikers in this city might be filled with terror and that the dissatis fied and rebellious laborers might be driven back under the yoke of slavery will this end be accomplished has not a miscalculation been made the next few days will answer this question we will not speculate on the course of events " the paper then goes on to give a de tailed report of the trouble and puts the responsibility oil the police speis also says that some bohemians and poles in the background of the crowd he was addressing raised a cry of on to mc-cormick's !" the paper also say that the police used their clubs in dis persing the strikers yesterday and adds in whose veins does not the blood course faster when he hears of the shameful acts of these beasts whoever is a man must show it these ! days men to the front s3 m£x c the school tax would increase as near as can be ascertained north carolina's proportion underthe blair i bill for the first year about 8550,000 for the second year 780,000 and for the third year the enormous sum of 1 170,000 but be it remembered to secure this she must supplement it by an equal number of dollars now as the amount raised for educational pur poses in this stale in 1885 was only 564,071.70 it follows that although there will be a surplus of about 814 000 for the first year the second year will show a deficiency of over$200,000 and the third year a deficiency of over 8700,000 now where is the 900,000 to come from we can see no source from which it may be expected except from the taxpayers of the state who are already heavily enough burdened gastonia gazette diplomatic relations cease the refusal of the austrian govern ment to receive hon a m keiley as united states

In the dark interior of Stratford, England's Royal Shakespeare Theatre, an audience gazes in rapt attention at the stark wooden stage — "To be or not to be, that is the question."
When the theater in William Shakespeare's birthplace reopened in 2010 after a $185 million renovation, it had echoed many times over the centuries to Hamlet's famous soliloquy. A recent production last year drew on previous traditions, but also set out, as with all productions, to find new meaning in the Bard's eternal lines.
That task also has been taken up recently by researchers in Britain and the United States in a bid to retrace Shakespeare's religious loyalties and how he expressed them in his 37 plays. The resulting claims and counter-claims have been divisive.
"Shakespeare is the one English writer whom virtually everyone has encountered — there have been many attempts to recruit him as an ideological ally for one cause or another," explained Joseph Shaw, a Catholic philosopher from Oxford University.
"Although he left little information about himself, he must have held strong views about religion, given the bitterness surrounding it in his lifetime. If it turns out he was a secret Catholic sympathizer, this would have cultural significance."
Views of Shakespeare, who was believed to be born on or near April 23, 1564 — 450 years ago this week — were traditionally dominated throughout the English-speaking world by Protestant perspectives.
While his vast output explored the deepest human dilemmas — life and death, love and hatred — it was generally held to be purely artistic, part of England's cultural golden age under Queen Elizabeth I (1533-1603). New historical evidence has challenged this tidy interpretation.
When Shakespeare was born in 1564, the Reformation was still being enforced, and creative people had learned to stay out of trouble by concealing their religious preferences.
But some experts think Shakespeare himself was deeply religious.
Far from going along with the official Protestant ideology, they argue, the playwright was passionately attached to the Catholic traditions and devotions violently suppressed a generation before.
"Although not yet accepted by the academic mainstream, the idea is gathering pace that Shakespeare's plays are actually full of references to this painful conflict," said Clare Asquith, a Shakespeare scholar.
"Having shut the door on Catholicism for much of our history, it seems we've been deaf to this and missed much of Shakespeare's subtlety as a result."
Generations of English children, Asquith argues, were taught a one-dimensional version of their country's history, in which a corrupt Catholic Church was rightly reformed by King Henry VIII.
For a popular figure like Shakespeare, it would have been risky to display any Catholic sympathy overtly. Clues about Shakespeare's religious loyalties have nevertheless been pieced together.
It's known that his father, John Shakespeare, got into trouble for his Catholic sympathies. Shakespeare's oldest daughter, Susanna Hall, is believed to have refused to attend Protestant services, while his mother's family, the Ardens, had ties with secret Catholic priests.
Although the playwright was buried with his estranged wife, Anne Hathaway, in Stratford's Anglican parish church, several witnesses testified that he'd received Catholic rites on his deathbed.
Father Peter Milward, a Jesuit expert, has no doubt about Shakespeare's Catholic sympathies. The real question isn't whether he was a Catholic, Father Milward thinks, but how his Catholic Faith transformed his work.
One play alone, "King Lear," contains echoes of the biblical Book of Job and Gospel accounts of the Passion and Resurrection. Shakespeare's history plays, from "King John" to "Richard III," offer moral lessons against tyranny and despotism, but also against weakness and indecision. Other works, such as "The Tempest" and "All's Well that Ends Well," reveal the importance of divine providence.
"What's clear in all Shakespeare's writing is that the grace of God has the capacity to change people and resolve even the most intractable conflicts," Shaw told Our Sunday Visitor.
"We can't expect any consensus as to how important this is to his plays. But those who refuse to see it at all create a problem for themselves."
Asquith, whose book "Shadowplay: The Hidden Beliefs and Coded Politics of William Shakespeare" (PublicAffairs, $14.95) explored Shakespeare's use of "hidden language," thinks the plays are saturated with allusions to the day's religious and political conflicts.
Shakespeare avoided being directly subversive and was allowed poetic licence in deference to his wit and skill.
When Asquith's book was published, it was bitterly dismissed by David Womersley, an Oxford literature professor, as "a 'Da Vinci Code' for the credulous."
None of Shakespeare's contemporaries refer to any hidden language, Womersley insists. To see him as a Catholic apologist is "a tide of wild hypothesis, strained reading and reductive historicism."
Diarmaid Macculloch, Oxford University's professor of church history, has doubts too. By the time Shakespeare was active, Macculloch argues, the Reformation had already succeeded and most religious conflict was over.
While some Catholic characters, such as the Franciscan friars in Romeo and Juliet, are portrayed sympathetically by Shakespeare, others are treated as fools, and when Shakespeare quoted the Bible, he used the official Protestant translation.
"Since Catholics are now at the center of English-speaking intellectual life, it's natural they should claim this great cultural icon for themselves," Macculloch told OSV. "But myths about the past can be dangerous. Shakespeare's Catholic family associations prove nothing about his own outlook, and it's wrong to suggest his work reflects some nostalgic pro-Catholic groundswell."
The continuing debate will also be a reminder of Shakespeare's richness as a writer for all times, with a profound grasp of life's tragic and comic realities.
"While Shakespeare understood the disputes of his day, he never descended to sectarian squabbles," Asquith told OSV.
"By hiding religious messages in a secular language, he invited listeners to ponder and reflect on the heritage they'd lost. People would have picked up his meaning then, and it's a pity we miss so much of it today."
How much the discussions are followed by audiences leaving the dark interior of the Royal Shakespeare Theatre on Stratford's River Avon is anyone's guess.
Even Hamlet's much-quoted Soliloquy — "To be or not to be" — is now thought by some researchers to be a reflection on Catholic resistance to tyranny.
That meaning, in the end, can only be known to the man whose remains rest inside Holy Trinity Church, a short distance from the villa where he died in 1616.

True Fitness Treadmill Review Index
General Information:True was started in the early 80's by the Trulaske brothers and is known for their incredibly quiet operation and soft feel. Frank Trulaske is now the sole owner of True. True just keeps refining the quality of their machines and then presents a very solid product to the market. Quality and value are hallmarks of the True line and they are known for phenomenal customer service.
Manufacturing Philosophy:True uses good components on their machines but the key to True is their inarguably magnificent belt and deck combination, which is simply the best in the treadmill market. Since we have been talking to their engineers and designers for years, we understand how they make a quality product. They believe in taking care of customers- which goes a long way in today's world.
Company Outlook : True is one of the rocks in the business and will be around for a long time to come. Since the majority of True's machines sell in the higher price range, we believe that the pressure felt by many American manufacturers won't apply to True due to the low volume of units involved. If you are looking for a high quality machine and can afford it, True is the best option in the premium market.

The wait for Provectus from the outside perspective I have at times has seemed absurd. I don't doubt there is not an insignificant amount of reality in this absurdity, and absurdity in this reality. Waiting for what from whom? Regulatory clarity, of one sort or another, from the FDA. Yes, but there was more. This wait appears to be nearing a resolution.
The premise of why I'm long Provectus is a novel drug compound with a pristine safety profile, a treatment well tolerated by and easily administered to patients, a ready made product inexpensively produced at scale, and a vast addressable market of unmet need that should be fully and very profitably met over time.
Provectus' discussions with the FDA may well be to, first, request some sort of accelerated path to approval (i.e., accelerated approval or outright approval) for Stage IIIb and IIIc patients with refractory, locally advanced disease, believing they have sufficiently demonstrated to the Agency PV-10's clinical value proposition for this patient population.
According to the company's PR at ECC 2013, "[t]he international, multicenter, Phase 2 study examined the effect of up to 4 treatment cycles of intralesional (IL) PV-10 in 80 subjects with AJCC Stage IIIB-IV melanoma. All subjects had locally advanced disease refractory to a median of 6 previous interventions. Intralesional PV-10 tumor ablation provided, after a median of 2 treatment cycles, rapid locoregional disease control." Bold emphasis is mine.
Prior treatments trial patients received before receiving PV-10 in the study included:
Trial results, particularly for patients with all disease treated ("In subjects where all disease was treated (35% of subjects) BORR further increased to 71% (with 50% achieving CR).") included:
|Click to enlarge the table.
- If the rumor of 75-80% of compassionate use program ("CUP") patients are cancer free (noting from the ECC 2013 press release that "[i]n addition to the 80 participants in the study, the researchers noted that over 90 additional melanoma patients have been treated with PV-10 under expanded access." -- the reason for noting this is...?) is true and,
- Understanding the CUP protocol for metastatic melanoma is to treat all untreated disease (i.e., all injectable disease) until it, the disease, goes away,...
I surmise (although I don't have full evidence to confirm it but I think I have sufficient evidence to suggest it, and I think management has sufficient evidence to assert it) that PV-10 can stop loco-regional MM in its tracks.
As Provectus wrote in its ECC 2013 press release: "...[I]ntralesional PV-10 provides a viable strategy to maintain long-term locoregional control of melanoma in patients whose cutaneous and subcutaneous melanoma has recurred." For this patient population -- "...patients who are refractory to all other therapies and who have injectable disease," -- PV-10 enables them to maintain loco-regional control of MM with minimal intervention and delay, reverse or prevent progression to life-threatening visceral disease.
Eric and his regulatory team, and thus Provectus, may be trying to accomplish a "regulatory two-step." Step #1: Ask the FDA for accelerated approval ("AA") or outright approval of PV-10 for MM Stage 3b-c patients who are refractory to all other therapies and who have injectable disease. I think this ask of the FDA by the company, finally, has been made.
Step #2: I don't understand precisely how Provectus is seeking breakthrough therapy designation ("BTD") in the context of a request for AA or outright approval. Is management seeking BTD for both the population set identified above and late stage patients? Or, is it seeking it only for Stage IV patients, where "sped up" discussions with dedicated senior Agency staff via this accelerated pathway could help design trials to show the immediate benefits of PV-10 in combination with approved MM drugs like ipilimumab (Yervoy) and vemurafenib (Zelboraf) for late stage or heavily diseased patients? Or, it is seeking BTD for both Stage IIIb-c patients and Stage IV patients, but asking for AA or outright approval for the Stage IIIb-c folks under the BTD umbrella, and discussing more trial work with the FDA to demonstrate the benefit of combining PV-10 with certain other drugs like ipi for late stage patients?
Ultimately, the mechanics of the ask(s) don't matter now, but rather the ask(s) itself (themselves) and outcome(s).
If Step #1 of the regulatory two-step is asking for AA or outright approval for patients who are refractory to all other therapies and who have injectable disease, Step #2 could be asking for BTD for Stage IV patients, with the path to approval of PV-10 for this additional population subsequently to be determined through further discussion with Agency staff and/or additional trial work.
Both in the ECC 2013 poster and press release, the company highlighted several things related to late stage patients:
- "Regression or stasis of untreated Visceral Disease observed in subjects with OR of Target Lesions; 44% 1-year survival in Stage IV(M1c) subjects,"
- "Second, its safety profile makes it an attractive candidate as a combination strategy for treatment of advanced disease," and
- "PV-10's unique mechanism of action, alone or in combination with existing or emerging therapy, has the potential to shift the paradigm in oncology, where an intermittent intervention can dramatically reduce disease burden and may prod the immune system into preventing or arresting the formation of life threatening metastases."
Although the first ask may appear to be a focused or "narrow" label -- patients who are refractory to all other therapies and who have injectable disease -- more broadly speaking it is far from narrow. The addressable market for loco-regional disease is very large because it represents nearly all incidences of melanoma. Localized melanoma, which is confirmed to the site of the disease, represents 84% of incidence (by stage distribution). Regional melanoma, where the disease has spread to regional lymph nodes, represents 9%. These statistics are from National Cancer Institute Stage Distribution and 5-year Relative Survival by Stage at Diagnosis for 2003-2009, All Races, Both Sexes data. Distant melanoma is 4%.
Of course, the first tool out of the oncologist's tool kit for early- and initially/originally-identified melanoma (local and, perhaps where resectable, regional) typically is excision or surgical resection, particularly when it is recurrent melanoma. Aggressive loco-regional therapy would be in order to reduce the risk of relapse, and the negative impact on prognosis and overall survival after loco-regional recurrence. For physicians, PV-10, as user friendly as it is, from safety and drug administration perspectives, and because of its ability to stop loco-regional disease in its tracks (if not cure it), might turn out to be the first tool out of their tool kit.
Best: Can management succeed in securing the first step of the regulatory two-step from the FDA? The outcome of "yes" is game-changing for the drug, the company and the stock. An outcome of BTD as a second step simply adds to the magnitude of the game-change. Better: An outcome of BTD, with a further discussion of the hows and whats, still is good. Good: An outcome of an SPA, which I have no doubt already has been agreed to with the FDA, is indeed is good but, given my diatribe above, would be disappointing yet essentially sufficient because it still is regulatory clarity.
Michael Sinclair's attempt to explain the play: "The purpose of human life is an unanswerable question. It seems impossible to find an answer because we don't know where to begin looking or whom to ask. Existence, to us, seems to be something imposed upon us by an unknown force. There is no apparent meaning to it, and yet we suffer as a result of it. The world seems utterly chaotic. We therefore try to impose meaning on it through pattern and fabricated purposes to distract ourselves from the fact that our situation is hopelessly unfathomable. "Waiting for Godot" is a play that captures this feeling and view of the world, and characterizes it with archetypes that symbolize humanity and its behaviour when faced with this knowledge. According to the play, a human being's life is totally dependant on chance, and, by extension, time is meaningless; therefore, a human's life is also meaningless, and the realization of this drives humans to rely on nebulous, outside forces, which may be real or not, for order and direction."
Shareholders seem to have been waiting for the FDA to show up. Waiting for Godot conveys our lives are meaningless, and the realization of this drives us to rely on nebulous, outside forces, which may be real or not, for order and direction. At times, it's felt like Provectus' pursuit of regulatory clarity, opaque as it has seemed, incomprehensible as it has been communicated, has lacked meaning. For what and/or whom are we waiting? It might be that we've been waiting for management as a whole and Eric in particular, more than we've waited for the FDA. Godot, in the form of Eric, seems to have arrived, so to speak.
PV-10 exemplifies innovation over incrementalism, meaningful over marginal, productized technology over hypothetical, and changing the world over accepting the status quo, with not an insignificant amount of serendipity over contrivance. In sum, these form the quintessential essence of a paradigm shift in the treatment of cancer.
Some consider Google a paradigm shift in how individuals explore and utilize the Internet through its search engine, as Microsoft was a paradigm shift in the use of personal computers through its operating system. There were competing operating systems around the time of MS-DOS and Windows, as there were competing search engines. It would seem a paradigm shift is more so, now or at least recently in human history, because beyond the victorious technology/technological change there usually is a readily identifiable individual or corporate victor (or victors) who is (are) measurably monetarily successful.
Irrespective of how technology cycles, cycles of change and/or cycles in general have materially shortened literally in front of our eyes (say, over the last couple of decades when I have been old enough to pay attention), some of us think we're capable of seeing and identifying a shift in paradigm. I think, in reality, because human activity, ours that is, on a day-to-day basis seems to have sped up, it provides the rationale to support this contention that we are able to see change in so-called real-time. Maybe it's the case we are able to see paradigms shift because we can see more quickly this change or shift after an inflection point is reached instead of as it happens.
More to point, however, I also think we ascribe the certainty and greatness of the shift to a successful individual or company because they are monetarily or otherwise successful in that moment in time.
It is this "less than standard way," whether conscious and premeditated, the inevitable result of shortcomings and experience, or some combination of both, that, together with the innovation and inexplicability until now of the mechanism of PV-10, has limited the embracing of the drug, and thus its creators, as a paradigm shift in the treatment of cancer.
I recently wrote to a biopharmaceutical industry individual, now a consultant (but with broad and extensive, operationally-focused, industry experience, particularly in drug development itself and, notably, with an approved oncology drug of significant fame) about his or her views on peer review publication (in light of Eric's completion of Provectus' final metastatic melanoma Phase 2 trial study report): "So anything reputable in oncology such as NEJM, JCO, Blood, Nature, Science, BMJ, The Lancet, Lancet Oncology, any AACR publication etc would indicate a high quality article with peer review. What one is ideally looking for is a body of work by top thought leaders in high impact journals demonstrating a solid track record of data...If doing due diligence on a drug or company I would be nervous if the company only ever published with, say, third tier thought leaders in second rate oncology journals. At some point, if the drug is good enough they have to step up to the plate and allow more in-depth scrutiny by peer review. Does it matter as an investor? It really depends on your level of risk. Personally, I like to see a solid track record across a number of key areas, including high impact journals." Bold emphasis is mine.
Coming from a predominantly (but not exclusively) non-"all things biological" background, I earnestly thought data publicly available, other found through diligence, and connected in a thoughtful (but obviously non-industry based way) would have been sufficient for others to draw what I had determined were obvious conclusions.
Thankfully, management finally will meet the peer review criticism this year with the publication of the final study report of the MM Phase 2 trial in a top tier journal (i.e., at the top of the above list). Ironically, if the expected regulatory clarity arrives before the article's publication, any bump in share price directly related to people buying into PV-10 and its clinical value proposition as a result of publication in a high impact journal may be an incremental one.
I did not require the data to be published in a top tier journal. As the individual above appropriately concludes, "Does it matter as an investor? It really depends on your level of risk." I'm comfortable with the level of risk at the time and now of Provectus. Others, however, are not, as evidenced from the wallowing of the share price. Lack of publication of in a top tier publication is not the sole reason for where the share price is. There are other mitigating circumstances or explanations, like presence on a minor stock exchange, capital structure, manner of fund raising that ultimately lead to problems with capital structure, etc. The peer review publication issue, unfortunately, is endemic of management's "less than standard way." Don't doubt that less than standard has temporary and, potentially, permanent valuation implications.
Fighting the good fight of proving PV-10's systemic properties is one thing. It might constrain valuation in the interim. Fighting it with one hand tied behind your back, by being circumspect, by choosing to fundraise in certain manners (because of whatever certain reasons or circumstances), etc., has the potential to reduce valuation with the risk that some of the reduction never ever returns. I'm sure management understands by now if they didn't understand it at the outset, that $125 million raised at a $75 million [pre-money] valuation is not as good as the same amount raised at $250 million.
Provectus Pharmaceuticals Up 17% In A Month; Potential Still Huge last week, the team and he will find themselves (even after adjusting for the additional costs still required to gain approval for many of those indications to market, and which will incurred by Provectus' acquirer) very near to or at the bottom of Forbes' Matthew Herper's list of R&D Spending Per New Drug, which is exceedingly high praise for their possessing the unique combination of innovation and cost effective development. It's not quite a list of R&D spending per approved indication, but it gives you a sense of magnitude nevertheless, and Provectus' relative success.
Through it all, however, management has protected the economics, but "protecting the economics" can be hard to grasp. In my investment letter of September 22, I wrote: "Investors often misjudge risk in the context of return. That a so-called safe asset or security should provide a safe return does not mean the expected return is commensurate (high enough) for the risk incurred. Conversely, a so-called risky security that may have the potential to generate a robust return does not mean the associated potential risk is commensurate (too high) for the amount of return expected."
One measure of risk in biotechnology is the weighted average cost of capital ("WACC"), which is "...the rate that a company is expected to pay on average to all its security holders to finance its assets." Said another way, it's a measure of return you would expect to garner each year for every year you hold Provectus stock. Consider the table below:
|Click to enlarge the table.
Let's assume a biotech WACC of 20%. There are several studies that have analyzed the WACC for the biotechnology, and been more specific as it relates to the size of the biotechnology company, and report a range of 8-20%. Let's assume Peter achieves something close to a Celgene-takeout-of-Abraxis payment, as he mentioned in one of his September interviews. Factor in the number of fully diluted shares outstanding. Establish a share price range at which you might sell your shares ($2-12 per share in the table above). Determine the number of years you've held the stock (1-8 years in the table above). Determine your cost basis ($1 per share in the table above). Calculate your annualized return (as shown). The table is a quick 'n dirty attempt to illustrate the protection of Provectus economics for a range of exit share prices and a range of holding periods.
I further wrote in my investment letter: "Provectus' stock's risk-reward profile is out of whack. The return opportunity is more than commensurate with its potential risk from here on out." Whether you're a longstanding shareholder, measured in a holding period closer to 8 years or thereabouts, a recent shareholder, and thus have a holding period of, say, one year or less, or someone in between, like me, depending of course on what value management sells Provectus for, your annualized return should be exceed the return required for the risk you took. In professional sports, generally speaking, the outcome only matters. Did you win or lose? An end-game in the range of most scenarios above is a win for shareholders and, thus, for management.

Leading up to the 2008-09 ETSU women's basketball season, the ETSU media relations office, with help from graduate assistant Lindsay Christensen, will feature player profiles on all 12 of the Lady Buccaneer student-athletes. This new segment allows fans to catch a glimpse of what each player is doing off the court, as the Lady Bucs look to make a run at their second straight NCAA Tournament appearance.
At times freshman guard Natasha Dixon finds herself out of her norm, but it is her Lady Buccaneer family that keeps her at ease.
Since arriving at ETSU in August, things have been a little different for the Brooklyn, N.Y. native and it has taken
"It has been a big change, but the team makes me feel comfortable here," she says.
So what's missing the most for the big city girl?
"The shopping," said
But luckily, there were other aspects of ETSU that pulled her in.
"The coaches were always 100-percent honest with me,"
One of these aspects is playing street ball with a bunch of guys.
"I think I have learned to play like a guy from all the time I spent playing with them," said
As for the Lady Bucs, the fast-paced tempo
Outside of basketball, music is
Growing up, she was surrounded by it, as her father and uncle are co-founders of a record label. Because of this,
"In the beginning, it was exciting because of all the people I got to meet," she says. "Now I am very interested in the business side of the music."
One perk for
"They not only gave me the opportunities to compete, but the drive to play at this level."
Come this November her family and Lady Buccaneer fans will get the chance to see that drive when she hits the court.

As a result of moving, I haven't been doing my nails as much. I kind of like settling into a routine for where my manicure stuff is and everything was everywhere and I was too... tired to try to set things up as I like them. Also, my picture taking setup is going to be a bit different and I had to figure that out. But I finally got around to it and now will do manicures on a more regular basis :)
This post is VERY late. It's the August duo from Pahlish, available until August 31. So, my apologies if this is the first you've seen of it.
The duo consists of two polishes, a creme with some hidden-esque shimmer and a glitter topper. I have to say, it's my favorite duo so far from the ones she has released. The nude creme is beautiful and very clean looking on my nails, and the small amount of shimmer adds a little bit of something. The glitter topper is gorgeous, consisting of gold/copper, green and black glitter in varying shapes and sizes.

Little Follies
On the surface, Herb and Lorna Piper are typically sunny 1950s American adults. Herb sells Studebakers to the citizens of Babbington, a Long Island seaside town, and Lorna is his cheerfully coy and clever wife. Their story seems like an American myth: small-town origins, Jazz Age romance, Depression trials, postwar prosperity. But this book begins with the shocking, wondrous discovery, made by their grandson Peter Leroy after their death, �that my matern...

Agoura Hills
Earth : North America : United States of America : California : Southern California : Los Angeles County : Agoura Hills
Agoura Hills [4] is a city in Los Angeles County in Southern California. The city is most known for their equestrian prowess and ranches throughout, as well as its top-rated hiking trails.
Get in
A straight shot on the 101 North, once you have passed the Lost Hills exit, you are in Agoura Hills. When you have passed Lindero Canyon exit, you are no longer in Agoura Hills. Also, Los Angeles public transportation has one line in.
During the summer, a special bus funded by the City takes passengers to and from Malibu beach.
Get around
Only come by automobile, as unfortunately none of the sights are public transit accessible.
North of the 101 Freeway, Agoura Hills is a typically suburban bedroom community and of little interest to most travelers- however, to the south of the 101 lies the scenic Santa Monica Mountains National Recreation Area.
The Reyes Adobe Historical Site [5]] built around 1850, was Agoura Hills' first home to a widow with 14 children, Maria Antonia Machado. She purchased the Reyes rancho, "Rancho Las Virgenes", from her uncle Jose Maria Dominguez. Maria's deceased husband had been the son of Juan Francisco Reyes who served on the famous Portola expedition. From 1916 to 1983 the property transferred to owners who shared a common interest in preserving the landmark adobe home located in the beautiful foothills beneath Ladyface Mountain. Through restoration and research efforts, the City of Agoura Hills has created an interpretive center and museum for visitors to hear their stories.
There are free summer concerts in the park. In the 90s, Agoura Hills was knows as a "mecca of music," launching music sensations Linkin Park and Hoobastank.
There are a number of places where you can hire horses to ride (Horse Riding). If horses aren't appealing to you, this city has plenty of trails to explore. Chesebro Canyon has some of the best hiking trails in all of Los Angeles. Many begin in Agoura Hills and take you to Pacific Coast Highway. You can hike in the opposite direction and once you reach the top, you'll be at an sulfur spring. Agoura Hills is an active community so there is no shortage of biking trails either.

Environmental Tips & Info
Anyone having knowledge of these types of illegal activities should report it to local enforcement agencies and/or call the environmental crimes hotline.
This is a short list of the more frequently committed environmental crimes.
Illegal Storage/Disposal/Transportation of Hazardous Waste
This involves hazardous (usually something that is toxic, flammable, corrosive, or reactive) waste (not usable products) that are stored, treated, transported and/or disposed of without required government approval (usually a permit).
Examples of hazardous waste:
- Asbestos
- Cracked Batteries
- Fluids with a PH less than 2 or greater than 12.5
- Solvents
- Used Auto Fluids
- Used Oil
- Wire Burning Waste
Lead agencies are local CUPAs and the California Department of Toxic Substances Control.
Illegal Discharge of Anything Other Than Rainwater to Storm Drains or Waterways
Involved agencies are the Department of Fish and Game, Regional Water Quality Control Board, local sanitation districts (for discharges into sewer lines and storm drains). Examples include Dairy waste (manure), other sewage and oil.
Illegally Dumping Garbage
This is usually an infraction, which may be a low priority for enforcement but it is a misdemeanor if within 150 feet of a waterway. Enforcement agencies are local police/sheriff, Department of Fish and Game, the local solid waste agency, the California Integrated Waste Management board and local code enforcement.
Watch for antifreeze, batteries, un-rinsed pesticide containers and other possible hazardous waste.
Improper Storage of Hazardous Materials
The Uniform Fire Code (adopted by state law and by local ordinances) restricts the amounts of materials that may be stored, the manner in which they are stored, prohibits the storage of incompatible materials (Example: corrosives and reactives next to each other). Enforcement agencies are the local fire department or fire warden.
Illegal Burns
Any outdoor burn without a permit from the local Air Pollution Control District. Burning of certain materials such as the insulation off of copper wire may hazardous waste disposal. Enforcement agencies are the local Air Pollution Control Districts and if hazardous waste is present, local CUPAs.
Illegal Drug Lab Waste
Many of the chemicals used to manufacture methamphetamine are extremely hazardous, some examples are cyanide, hydriodic acid, phosphorus and ether. These materials may have been illegally stored and/or disposed of on the ground or into septic systems. See information under hazardous waste heading.
Illegal Auto Repair
Auto repair for hire requires a state license from the California Bureau of Auto Repairs. Permits are also usually required from local fire departments and Air Pollution Control Districts. City and county ordinances may restrict zoning where this activity may occur. This type of illegal activity may also involve the illegal storage and use of hazardous materials and waste.
Illegal Development of Hillsides
No person can grade or otherwise perform any development on hillside slopes in excess of 5% unless they have filed with and received approval from the Napa County Department of Conservation, Development and Planning for a soil erosion control plan. No development of hillsides may occur between October 1 and April 1 of each year. Report all suspected illegal hillside development to the code enforcement officer in the Napa County Department of Conservation, Development and Planning (707253-4417).

Underwriters Laboratories (UL) reports it was recently selected as the only foreign testing center for large-scale wind turbine generation systems (over 750 kW) by the Korean Agency for Technology and Standards (KATS), a division within the Korean Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy (MTIE).
UL says this designation will allow global and local companies to earn not only local certification for Korea, but also international certification, as it follows the IEC 61400-22 or GL Guideline.
UL purchased Germany-based wind energy measurement and testing services companies DEWI GmbH and DEWI-OCC in 2012. DEWI GmbH has been assigned by the KATS as the testing body for power performance, power quality, acoustic noise/vibration and mechanical loads of large-scale wind turbine generation systems. Meanwhile, DEWI-OCC was appointed as the overall design assessment body for the same type of turbine systems.
The new certification process for large-scale wind turbine generation systems is anticipated to begin on Sept. 1.

Trust Restores Stray Nestling to Parents
Hawk and Owl Trust treasurer Mike Rogers had to bail this young peregrine from police custody after it glided down down from its nest in central Bath and was too young to fly back.
Kindly constables rescued it from the police station car park below its nest high on the steeple of St John's Catholic Church in South Parade, Bath, and called Mike.
He popped it in his backpack and returned it to its parents nesting on the church tower.
"It was just a bit too young to fly, but big enough to leave the nest and move around the stonework," Mike said.
"It obviously just fell off and fluttered down. But it wouldn't have been able to fly back up, so thanks to the police we're able to return it."
The Bath peregrines have been an aerial attraction for several years. The Hawk and Owl Trust put up a nest box five years ago and the birds have bred successfully ever since.
This year there were four chicks, and this one or one of its siblings found itself earth bound a few days later and needed rescuing by the Trust. For photos by members of a the public of the subsequent escapade see this page on Flickr

Is the following usage grammatically correct?
In honour of Life Time Contributions in Plant Pathology
It appears to be a title - in which case 'Honour' should also be capitalised.
'Lifetime' is one word.
Note the correct spelling of 'grammatical' and 'clarification'. We teachers make every effort to set good examples for students to follow.
In titles and newspaper headlines the rules of grammar are suspended in favour of brevity, so no - it is not grammatically correct.

A legislator's effort to restrict state-paid abortions in Alaska came under fire Monday during a hearing dominated by testimony from Planned Parenthood and other advocates worried that poor women may resort to dangerous back-room abortions if the state cuts off funding.
Very few pregnant women would qualify under Sen. John Coghill's strict definition of a medically necessary abortion eligible for Medicaid payments, according to Laura Einstein, chief legal counsel for Planned Planned Parenthood of the Great Northwest. The health organization is the primary abortion provider in Alaska.
Maybe women would try to scrounge up the money themselves. Maybe they would get an abortion later in the pregnancy, when it's riskier and, by the second trimester, not available in Alaska. Or maybe, some Alaskans told Coghill's Judiciary Committee, the days of back-alley abortions would return.
Coghill, a Fairbanks Republican, says he's not trying to deny poor woman abortions, but wants to ensure the state only pays for those that are medically necessary, not elective.

His Senate Bill 49 says the payment would be allowed only if there's "serious risk to the life or physical health of a woman." The bill further describes the risk as "impairment of a major bodily function" because of certain conditions including heart failure, coma or diabetes with severe organ damage.
"The vast majority of women who otherwise would qualify for Medicaid -- they would not meet the standard," Einstein said in response to questions by Sen. Lesil McGuire, R-Anchorage. Most pregnant women just don't get that sick, she said.
McGuire asked how women generally qualify for abortion coverage now.
Without a detailed definition in law, Planned Parenthood turns to the language of court decisions, Einstein said.
In a 2000 ruling upheld by the Alaska Supreme Court, Superior Court Judge Sen Tan wrote that medically necessary abortions are those that prevent death or disability or address "a condition harmful to the women's physical or psychological health, as determined by the treating physician." While the state could audit a doctor's billing practices, it could not second guess the doctor's medical judgment, Tan wrote.
Under a new rule instituted by the Parnell administration, Alaska doctors must certify an abortion is medically necessary in order for Medicaid to cover the bill. Doctors decide what's right themselves.
But by having to reach the high bar set by Coghill's bill, pregnant women seeking abortion won't be treated the same as those who want to give birth, and that violates the Alaska Constitution, Einstein told the committee. When a similar measure was proposed in 2002, the state attorney general's office said it wouldn't hold up, she said.
It's impossible to create a comprehensive list of what conditions might be reason for an abortion, Planned Parenthood says. When Sen. Fred Dyson, R-Eagle River, asked what constituted an elective abortion, Einstein said she didn't know.
On Monday, 15 people besides the Planned Parenthood representatives testified against the proposal. One spoke in favor of it. Former Anchorage Sen. Bettye Davis urged Coghill to drop it.
Medicaid paid for at least 581 of the 1,629 abortions performed in Alaska last year, according to the state Bureau of Vital Statistics.
McGuire asked whether Planned Parenthood ever sees patients who try to abort themselves.
Not that she knows of, Einstein said.
McGuire said her father, a doctor, worked for the U.S. Public Health Service at a time abortions were illegal and doctors saw many women who "had been in a back-alley abortion circumstance or attempted to abort themselves," McGuire said.
As legislators wrangle with a strict definition that may exclude a number of women, they need to consider "would she attempt to do it on her own?" McGuire said.
Many of the Alaskans who testified on Monday worried that could happen.
Myrtle Gohring of Anchorage said she's a great-grandmother turning 90 this month. She testified by phone about the days of illegal abortions that were "often the only family planning for my generation of young, married mothers whose families grew too large, too soon."
She told the committee that she worked more than 30 years as a school teacher and counselor and saw many children who were angry, suffered low esteem and were unwanted.
Elann Moren of Palmer testified by phone that she knows the horrors first hand. She became pregnant after being raped as a teenager, she told the senators. Her mother and other women tried to get her to miscarry through a mix of mistreatment and tricks from old wives' tales. They made her run until her legs gave out, knocked her off a ladder and gave her weird teas that made her throw up. But she didn't lose the baby.
Finally they took her to a woman who ran a daycare center and brought her into a bedroom, where she lay on an ironing board. She could hear voices of children on the other side of the door. She was told to take quinine tablets to complete the abortion but it didn't work right away. Eventually, she said, she miscarried.
The Senate bill discriminates against poor women and may put them in similarly bad situations, she said.
Philip Stewart of Juneau sat in the witness chair and told the three senators at the hearing -- McGuire, Coghill and Dyson -- that he was appalled at what they were considering and warned it will be challenged in court.
"Senate Bill 49 is cruel, it's wrong, and, I believe, merely a grandstanding ploy to appeal to a small but vocal voting bloc," Stewart said. "Drop this bill like a hot rock."
The grandstanding accusation is offensive and insulting, Dyson shot back.
Stewart conceded that he knew Dyson had "profound moral issues" related to abortion.
"No. I have human-rights issues," Dyson, a former foster parent, responded. His voice broke as he talked about raising two dozen children who were not his own.
Steward apologized.
Coghill is holding another hearing Tuesday on Senate Bill 49, with more opportunity for testimony. He said Monday's hearing was largely intended to give Planned Parenthood and its supporters a chance to make their best case.
Gov. Sean Parnell, another anti-abortion Republican, supports the Legislature providing a definition for medical necessity, his spokeswoman, Sharon Leighow, said Monday.

Hate speech policy
We encourage free speech and try to defend your right to express unpopular points of view, but we don't permit hate speech.
Hate speech refers to content that promotes violence against or has the primary purpose of inciting hatred against individuals or groups based on certain attributes, such as:
- race or ethnic origin
- religion
- disability
- gender
- age
- veteran status
- sexual orientation/gender identity
There is a fine line between what is and what is not considered to be hate speech. For instance, it is generally okay to criticize a nation-state, but if the primary purpose of the content is to incite hatred against a group of people solely based on their ethnicity, or if the content promotes violence based on any of these core attributes, like religion, it violates our policy.
Reporting hateful content
Keep in mind that not everything that's mean or insulting is hate speech. If you're upset by content that a specific person is posting, you may wish to consider blocking the user.
However, if you feel that content violates our hate speech policy, report it to YouTube for review in one of the following ways:
- Flag the video : You may report hateful content that you think may violate our community guidelines by flagging it.
- File an abuse report : If you have found multiple videos, comments, or a user's entire account that you wish to report, please visit our reporting tool, where you will be able to submit a more detailed report.

0 Members and 1 Lonely Barbarian are spying on this topic.
While I agree with the general feel for this thread, I just have to say that magic point systems work really well and seldom take up much in the way of book keeping.RuneQuest (and all of Basic Roleplaying) uses magic points for all their games. They work really well. If you don't believe me, use some magic in Call of Cthullu... is is the same system. Gurps uses fatigue/ magic points as well. It is just a tally on the character sheet. Are you telling me gamers can't keep track of one additional talley besides hit points? Hero usually uses fatigue but it all depends on what the GM wants to set up. A magic point system, using an end battery, is perfectly functional. Again it is just a tally system. There are six or so others, but those I have previously listed are just as well known as DnD. RuneQuest is a year younger than DnD. Hero, Gurps, and such are all older than our new D20 DnD.And don't you all use yellow stickies for your various hits/ wounds/ stun/ etc counts?. Why should anyone actually write on their character sheets. (Actually I use a super sheet anyways, so I have my record with me).What is a supersheet you might ask? In short: keep your character sheet and notes in a clear plastic sheet protector. Insert a thin cardboard sheet (a board backer) there as well. This set up protects your character sheet from wear and tear, gives you an easy to hold sheet, and gives you a storage place for all things related to your character (cue cards, notes, equipment lists). The extra things are slipped in behind the cardboard backer. You can even face an important sheet against the backside, so you can use it as well. If you need to change something pull the sheet out. If you need to mark damage, use a water based marker on the plastic or a sticky note. The character sheet will remain pristine for quite a while when using a super sheet.
