Section 1983 Blog
"If it was easy, everybody would be doing it. It isn't, and they don't."
"I am still learning."
—Domenico Giuntalodi (but misattributed to Michelangelo Buonarroti (common phrase throughout 1500's)).
"Love work; hate mastery over others; and avoid intimacy with the government."
—Shemaya, in the Thalmud
"A system of law that not only makes certain conduct criminal, but also lays down rules for the conduct of the authorities, often becomes complex in its application to individual cases, and will from time to time produce imperfect results, especially if one's attention is confined to the particular case at bar. Some criminals do go free because of the necessity of keeping government and its servants in their place. That is one of the costs of having and enforcing a Bill of Rights. This country is built on the assumption that the cost is worth paying, and that in the long run we are all both freer and safer if the Constitution is strictly enforced."
—Williams v. Nix, 700 F. 2d 1164, 1173 (8th Cir. 1983) (Richard Sheppard Arnold, J.), rev'd Nix v. Williams, 467 US. 431 (1984).
"The criminal goes free, if he must, but it is the law that sets him free. Nothing can destroy a government more quickly than its failure to observe its own laws, or worse, its disregard of the charter of its own existence."
—Mapp v. Ohio, 367 U.S. 643, 659 (1961).
"Any costs the exclusionary rule are costs imposed directly by the Fourth Amendment."
—Yale Kamisar, 86 Mich.L.Rev. 1, 36 n. 151 (1987).
"There have been powerful hydraulic pressures throughout our history that bear heavily on the Court to water down constitutional guarantees and give the police the upper hand. That hydraulic pressure has probably never been greater than it is today."
— Terry v. Ohio, 392 U.S. 1, 39 (1968) (Douglas, J., dissenting).
"The great end, for which men entered into society, was to secure their property."
—Entick v. Carrington, 19 How.St.Tr. 1029, 1066, 95 Eng. Rep. 807 (C.P. 1765)
"It is a fair summary of history to say that the safeguards of liberty have frequently been forged in controversies involving not very nice people. And so, while we are concerned here with a shabby defrauder, we must deal with his case in the context of what are really the great themes expressed by the Fourth Amendment."
—United States v. Rabinowitz, 339 U.S. 56, 69 (1950) (Frankfurter, J., dissenting)
"The course of true law pertaining to searches and seizures, as enunciated here, has not–to put it mildly–run smooth."
—Chapman v. United States, 365 U.S. 610, 618 (1961) (Frankfurter, J., concurring).
"A search is a search, even if it happens to disclose nothing but the bottom of a turntable."
—Arizona v. Hicks, 480 U.S. 321, 325 (1987)
"For the Fourth Amendment protects people, not places. What a person knowingly exposes to the public, even in his own home or office, is not a subject of Fourth Amendment protection. ... But what he seeks to preserve as private, even in an area accessible to the public, may be constitutionally protected."
—Katz v. United States, 389 U.S. 347, 351 (1967)
"Experience should teach us to be most on guard to protect liberty when the Government's purposes are beneficent. Men born to freedom are naturally alert to repel invasion of their liberty by evil-minded rulers. The greatest dangers to liberty lurk in insidious encroachment by men of zeal, well-meaning but without understanding."
—United States v. Olmstead, 277 U.S. 438, 479 (1925) (Brandeis, J., dissenting)
"Liberty—the freedom from unwarranted intrusion by government—is as easily lost through insistent nibbles by government officials who seek to do their jobs too well as by those whose purpose it is to oppress; the piranha can be as deadly as the shark."
—United States v. $124,570, 873 F.2d 1240, 1246 (9th Cir. 1989)
"You can't always get what you want / But if you try sometimes / You just might find / You get what you need."
—Mick Jagger & Keith Richards
"In Germany, they first came for the communists, and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a communist. Then they came for the Jews, and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Jew. Then they came for the trade unionists, and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a trade unionist. Then they came for the Catholics and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Catholic. Then they came for me–and by that time there was nobody left to speak up."
—Martin Niemöller (1945) [he served seven years in a concentration camp]
"You know, most men would get discouraged by now. Fortunately for you, I am not most men!""The point of the Fourth Amendment, which often is not grasped by zealous officers, is not that it denies law enforcement the support of the usual inferences which reasonable men draw from evidence. Its protection consists in requiring that those inferences be drawn by a neutral and detached magistrate instead of being judged by the officer engaged in the often competitive enterprise of ferreting out crime."
---Pepé Le Pew

Create the Future of Female Condoms
We are urging the FDA to update female condom regulations and make new options possible.
While a variety of female condoms are safe, effective, and available in a number of countries, people in the U.S. have just one option. This lack of variety is due in large part to an outdated FDA classification of the female condom.
Since approved by the FDA in the mid-1990s, the female condom has shared the same classification as breast implants and pacemakers, Class III, while male condoms enjoy a Class II status. The more stringent classification made sense when female condoms were new and data was limited. However, the establishment of quality standards and 20 years of safety and efficacy data support making female condoms a Class II device. Reclassification will remove unnecessary barriers female condom innovators face when attempting to bring new safe and effective products to market. With fewer regulatory hurdles, new female condom products may reach the market quicker and provide more options for consumers.
Get involved! Tell the FDA to pave the way for more female condom options and reclassify female condoms.
- Start the conversation about the future of female condoms on Facebook and Twitter. Use these messages to spread the word and inspire action.
- Take your picture with our photo petition and share on social media.
- Build a movement of female condom advocates by collecting petitions at community events and meetings. Get tips for community outreach here. We will deliver the petitions to the FDA offices in Washington D.C. in September as part of our Global Female Condom Day advocacy. Download the petition here.
- Read joint comments signed by 89 organizations and submitted to FDA June 26, 2015 urging female condom down-classification.
- Read the NFCC's letter to the FDA urging down-classification.

The GDP quadrupled since 1978. On a purchasing power parity basis, China measured the world's second largest economy (preceded by the United States) with a GDP of $4,600 per capita for a population of 1.28 billion people. In 2002, according to the CIA World Factbook, the GDP stood at 8% (compared with in the .3% U.S. [2001 figures]).
China is the fourth largest country in the world, preceded by Russia, Canada and the United States in terms of land mass. China's population is 1,284,303,705 (July 2002 est.), as compared to 280,562,489 (U.S. July 2002 est.), 144,978,573 (Russia July 2002 est.) and 31,902,268 (Canada July 2002 est.). China officially joined the World Trade Organization on December 11, 2001 and on December 27th of the same year the United States officially normalized trade relations with China, calling the move "a final step toward welcoming China into a global, rules-based trading system."
China's economic strength is evidenced by the percentage of direct foreign ...

North America. Data from the Japan Bank for International Cooperation showed that the Japanese owned plants that opened in China totaled 772 versus 692 in North America. Salomon Smith Barney estimates that if current growth rates continue, Chinese exports of high tech goods will exceed Japan's within ten years. Ironically, U.S. trade policy is shifting wealth from country-states that are U.S. supporters to the Asian power that represents the greatest threat to the United States.
According to Kenichi Ohmae, a Japanese business analyst, China's growth in the manufacturing sector can be likened to Japan's postwar industrial boom. The comparison with the rise in Japan's power as well as that ...

Is there a demand for small electric cars? Mitsubishi Motors Corp. has discovered that, yes, there is. In fact, the trend that the company seems to have discovered is that whatever production numbers they've set need to be increased. Last April, we heard that the original 20,000 per year target for 2013 or so would be upped to 30,000. But even for fiscal 2010, the original target of 5,000 units will be upped to 8,500. Why? Because, theMainichi News reports, orders "far outstrip" expectations. Even better, for fans of the electric jellybean, is that the 30,000 annual production rate could be moved up to 2012. Last year, the first year that the car was available in Japan, Mitsubishi sold 1,650 units to corporate customers.

The Horizon Lanka Foundation (HLF) was established in 1998 as a result of the determination and vision of Mr. Nanda Wanninayaka, a young English teacher from the village of Mahawilachchiya. The origins of the foundation can be traced back to a handwritten English language newspaper named Horizon, started by Mr. Wanninayaka and the students of Saliyamala School in 1998. Copies of the newspaper were sent to government agencies and foreign embassies in Sri Lanka. Only the United States Embassy, based in Colombo, replied. They were so impressed by the newspaper that they donated Horizon's first computer, a Zenith 486, and an electronic typewriter, so the newspaper could continue in printed form.
Soon after, Mr. Wanninayaka had to leave his position as an English teacher at the public school, but it wasn't long before his former students came knocking at his door, asking him to continue teaching them privately. Thus began the Horizon Lanka Foundation an after-school club providing children with further education in English and the use of Information and Communication Technology (ICT). Horizon (Lanka) was established in August 1998.
A Sri Lankan couple named Mr. and Mrs. Donald and Bhadra Gaminitilleke assisted the Foundation immensely in its infancy. They hosted some of the village children in Colombo, donated a brand new dot matrix printer in 2000 and informed Sanjeewa Wickramanayake from e-WIS Company of the great work being carried out at Horizon Lanka. Mr. Wickramanayake was so impressed that he donated the first computer (a used IBM Pentium computer).
Since then, the Horizon Lanka Academy has been an educational anchor for many children of the village and they have continually reaped the rewards of attending our establishment. As well as providing comprehensive education to the village children at Horizon Lanka, the institute has introduced them to the "Information Age."
Horizon Lanka's innovative ways of teaching English has resulted in scores of students getting A and B grades for the English language portion of the national level exam, sometimes even higher than their grades for their mother tongue, Sinhala! A group of students have also gone on to study at national universities and other higher educational institutions.
Sadly in January 2006, after the departure of Mr. Wanninayaka from the village of Mahawilachchiya, the HLF underwent some management and financial challenges. After struggling for five years, in February 2011, the HLF had to be closed down. For the next three and a half years the children of the village were left without the extra educational resources the HLF earlier provided.
To the delight of the people of Mahawilachchiya, Mr. Wanninayaka returned to Horizon Lanka after 8 long years in July 2014 and reopened Horizon Lanka with the determination to regain the institution's old glory and go beyond that. Currently the Foundation serves the entire community with its computer lab and other facilities.
Milestones and Achievements
Digital Butterflies – Project that brought around 300 used PCs to the homes of the villagers of Mahawilachchiya.
Digital Ambassadors – Educational project that led to the acquisition of a dozen laptops for senior students.
Horizon Lanka Website – in 2001, Mr. Wanninayaka and the children of Horizon Lanka created the foundation's website, opening a new window to the outside world at a time when only the most elite schools in Colombo had their own website.
24X7 Internet Access – in 2004, Horizon Lanka acquired 24/7 internet access thanks to RLL technology provided by LankaCom Services, a leading Internet Service Provider in Sri Lanka. Mahawilachchiya became the first Sri Lankan rural village to get such a facility at a time when telephone access was still not available in the village.
New Facility – In 2006, Horizon Lanka moved to a two storied building constructed in two acres of land as a result of the generosity of Mr. Chas and Mrs. Lovina Charles, a family living in the United Kingdom that has both Sri Lankan and Indian roots. The new facility was well equipped with the USAID-Geneva Global joint budget acquired by the Foundation. Unfortunately in February 2011 the Charleses insisted the donation be returned to them due to irreconcilable internal differences.
Mesh Internet Network – In November 2006, Horizon Lanka Foundation secured a grant of 30,000 USD from the UNDP to build Sri Lanka's first mesh internet network connecting 28 students' houses and 2 public schools to the 24X7 Internet. The network covered half of the village. The project was carried out by the Enterprise Technologies Pvt. Ltd. in Colombo.
Phone Coverage – By December 2006, Horizon Lanka was able to get Sri Lanka's biggest mobile operator, Dialog (Axiata,) to cover the village with a mobile telephone network, putting Mahawilachchiya, once again, ahead of other rural Sri Lankan towns.
E-Village Replication Project – In the summer of 2008, on the recommendation of the then President's Secretary Mr. Lalith Weeratunga, the Ministry of Education of Sri Lanka became interested in Horizon Lanka's initiative and it was decided to replicate its educational model in all 9 provinces of the country with the assistance of Horizon Lanka's founder, Nanda Wanninayaka. 100 million LKR ($~700,000 USD) were allocated to the project, and between 2007 and 2010, 50 rural villages of Sri Lanka were invested with the ICT and the English educational program started by Mr. Wanninayaka at Horizon Lanka 9 years earlier. However, none of this 100 million LKR was given to the Horizon Lanka Foundation as promised by the then government.
In 2009, the Horizon Lanka Foundation was able to obtain another 30,000 USD grant from the ISIF to rectify the then existing problems of the mesh network built in 2006 and further expanding it to the whole village with a more advanced Wi-Fi mesh network. This project was carried out by the LankaCom Services Pvt. Ltd. in Colombo.

When we went to Lake Fayetteville a week or so ago, my middle boys got interested in the honeysuckle that was covering every tree and fence on the trail. (Never mind that it's also growing all over our back fence at home.) For the first time, they wanted to try it. YAY! Another thing I can share with my kids, from my childhood.
After showing them several times how to pinch at the bottom of the flower, and slowly pull the "thread" through to the end, pushing the nectar out the bottom, they got the hang of it... And stopped every five seconds or so to eat more honeysuckle.

I happened to walk by my nearby Lush store yesterday and saw that they're offering a buy one, get one free deal for their holiday products. I took the opportunity to grab a couple of their bath offerings, which are products from Lush I don't generally indulge in (I take frequent baths, so I try to use cheaper bath products on a day to day basis). I can't find any info about an end date for the sale, so I'm assuming it just lasts as long as it takes for them to sell out of their stock. You can check out what your local store has left, or browse the selection online. The selection online is very different from what my store was offering, so you can perhaps check in more than one place if there's something in particular you're interested in.
I purchased a bath bomb and a bath melt which each normally cost $6.95. I'm not really familiar with the individual products, so I basically based my decision on trying to make the most of the sale and choose two products that were the same price! Haven't used them yet, but I'm looking forward to it.
Cute, huh? They're making my bathroom smell nice, too. Before the sale, I had also tried a couple of Lush's holiday skincare options, which you can read about here.
Are there any post-holiday sales you're excited about?

After a failed attempt to really rock things over at Radio Dentata, your humble wine and cigar expert had to cut back on projects including this one due to time spent in my career as an author.
But I've missed this blog and missed this part of my life too. So we're going to get back to what matters after a hard day's work. Relaxing with a good bottle of wine, a complex, enjoyable cigar and letting our day end.
We're going to revisit some of the cigar blends we've mentioned, (Yes, Don Cervantes is a staple in my humidor when I can get them) and talk more about some of the great wines we've been drinking over the last few months, plus mention upcoming stuff too.
I'm not sure how often we'll update just yet, but I've got a ton of new cigars and wines to put up here, plus some bourbons, scotches, and other whiskies. Should be fun!

The majority of people now access the internet from mobile devices. Your website must look great and function flawlessly on those devices!A responsive website thinks of the web and all different devices as a whole allowing it to adjust based on the device.
Methods used to accomplish responsive websites include:
Benefits of Responsive Design include:
Content Management Systems (CMS) allow you to update your website without knowledge of HTML. Find the Right Tool
Each one of our clients is unique and has different website needs. When we plan a website, we want to find the tool that fits the needs of the client. Our developers have experience using a wide variety of mainstream CMS's including Sitefinity, DotNetNuke, Joomla, MODx, Drupal, WordPress and more.
Custom or Customized
Sometimes a client's needs are unique enough that pre-built CMS solutions do not meet those goals. We are experienced in developing extensions to various existing Content Management Systems and also writing tools to meet the specific need.
Without an eCommerce store, you could be missing out on a much wider audience. We can help you research which eCommerce option is right for your business, and help you get up and running.
Improving your ranking requires strategy and planning, and analytics should always be the first step in that plan. You could blindly invest in better content, but if it isn't connecting with your goal market, then even the best content may not yield the desired results.
Analytics can show you where your current markets are, and provide hints into where your best ROI may lie. Search engine optimization should always be weighed against return on investment because no company wants to throw money at a possible solution on the off chance it works.
Optimization is a Process
There are hundreds of nuances in SEO, and no specific solution is ironclad. SEO "packages" are typically billed as a one-step fix for your problems, yet the cost of these can grow quickly, and some of the promises aren't realistic.
We believe that a conservative approach with measurable results is best. If you have goals for your site or believe that your site is under-performing, we can help build a strategy to get you there.
Every website we launch has analytics, is built for indexing, and uses best practices for content identification and ranking.
When your website is completed, you will be able to grow your website knowing that the website development has made it easy for search indexes to see your content.
Our robust hosting platform offers the features and performance of large hosting systems with the added benefit of having local support. Our packages are flexible to fit your exact hosting needs and include the following features:
Client satisfaction is our goal, and the key to happy clients is an ongoing relationship. This is why, after your website or other web-based solutions go live, we'll be available to answer any questions you have and make sure your project is a success. Not only are we proud to stand behind what we do, but we can also support most solutions you already have in place.
One of the most important questions in any project is how you plan to update your site after it goes live. If you're like many of our clients, you don't have time to make changes on your site — no matter how easy it is to update. That's why we offer maintenance plans like SmartCare to help keep your site fresh with new, accurate content.
SmartCare is a customized maintenance plan tailored to your needs. Whether you require daily or monthly updates, we'll put together a package that works for you. Just email us your site updates, and we'll get them posted on your site within a specific period of time.

London, Dec 28 — It is a reality check for those who have been enthusiastic about suggesting that dinosaurs were primitively feathered.
A new research has ended all speculations that feather-like structures were an ancestral trait for all dinosaur groups — most of them had scaly skin like reptiles.
A team of palaeontologists created a database of all known impressions of dinosaur skin tissues. They then identified those that had feathers or feather-like structures, and considered relationships in the dinosaurian family tree.
The study, done by Paul Barrett of the Natural History Museum in London and David Evans of the Royal Ontario Museum in Toronto, indicate that although some ornithischians, such as Psittacosaurus and Tianyulong, had quills or filaments in their skin, the overwhelming majority had scales or armour. Among sauropods, scales were also the norm.
"I'd go so far as to say that all dinosaurs had some sort of genetic trait that made it easy for their skin to sprout filaments, quills and even feathers. But with scales so common throughout the family tree, they still look like they are the ancestral condition," said Barrett.
The findings were shared by Barrett and Evans at the annual meeting of the Society of Vertebrate Palaeontology's in Los Angeles.
"We don't have primitive dinosaurs from the late Triassic and early Jurassic periods preserved in the right conditions for us to find skin or feather impressions. This picture could quickly change if we start finding early dinosaurs with feathers on them," argued Richard Butler, a palaeontologist at the University of Birmingham who was not associated with the study.
Palaeontologists have known for decades that theropods, the dinosaur group that contained the likes of Tyrannosaurus and Velociraptor and from which modern birds evolved, were covered in feathery structures.
By contrast, the ornithischian lineage – which had animals such as Triceratops, Stegosaurus and Ankylosaurus – and the huge, long-necked dinosaurs in the sauropod lineage, were considered to be scaly.

Whether you're visiting New York City or a native New Yorker, going to a Broadway show is a must. Finding tickets affordable tickets is a whole other story until now.
I am absolutely in love with Today Tix, an app you can download for free for both iOS and Android. It was created by Broadway producers and gives you access to the best prices on last-minute Broadway and Off-Broadway tickets. That means NO more waiting in lines in the freezing cold the morning of at the "TKTS booth" or dealing with shady ticket brokers or a scalper for hot tickets like Wicked, Blue Man Group, Newsies, Chicago and Phantom of the Opera! It's perfect for last-minute ticket buyers and you can purchase tickets up to a week in advance which to me, really isn't that last-minute.
Using the app is super easy. In just a few clicks you can secure great seats to available shows.
I recently took the app for a spin and snagged amazing orchestra seats to the new breakout hit, On the Town for only $49 each, saving over $178 for 2 tickets! Unfortunately you don't know what seats you have until you arrive, but you are guaranteed the best tickets available at the time of purchase and all seats purchased are seated together. The hand delivered concierge service, where uniformed Today Tix concierge agents meet you outside the theater, is also a very nice touch!
My tickets were for the 8:00pm show on Wednesday night which left me plenty of time to grab dinner at one of the many amazing restaurants around the theater. This allergy mom, sans child, took the night off and indulged in all you can eat pasta at Lidia Bastanich's Becco (for only $22.95 per person!).
The Hot show is sold out? As a New Yorker, I love that you can set an alert for when tickets become available. I'm waiting for Book of Mormons! As I'm also cultivating a mini theater lover, I love Today Tix's daily lotteries. If you're feeling lucky, Today Tix holds daily lotteries for hit Broadway and Off-Broadway shows for as little as $10 and you only pay if you win! Winners have snagged $200 Orchestra seats at that price!
Right now if you refer a friend and they download the Today Tix app, you'll both get a $20 credit making it a WIN-WIN for you both!

Novelist, faculty member, motorcycle enthusiast Terry Davis taking his cycle passion public
Opening shop in Rapidan
To his fans, it's no news that novelist and Minnesota State Mankato English faculty member Terry Davis loves the rolling thunder. But it may come as a surprise that Davis is taking his passion public, with a cycle shop in Rapidan.
By Ron Gower, special to The Free Press [published in The Free Press, Mankato, MN, 5/30/2007]
Photos by John Cross
Along with vintage used motorcycles, novelist and college professor Terry Davis will carry a line of new British Enfield bikes such as the one he is in the process of assembling for sale in his soon-to-open Clandestine Classic Cycles in Rapidan.
Clandestine Classic Cycles inventory will include vintage British bikes such as the 1957 BSA in the foreground and the 1907s-era Triumph immediately behind it.
RAPIDAN — To fans of novelist Terry Davis, it's no news that he loves motorcycles. They play a role in most of his fiction and articles, and Davis riding around Mankato on a Norton or Yamaha is a familiar sight.
Now Davis is carrying that passion a step further in real life. He will open his motorcycle shop, Clandestine Classic Cycles, in Rapidan, with a grand opening Friday.
"I've always had some kind of cycle shop hidden away, wherever I lived, and even now, out of the way in Rapidan, it's a 'clandestine' place."
This time, though, the shop is on a large scale, and he finally has room for all the cycles he has collected.
"I've always wanted to have a real full-size bike store, and when I saw this building for sale, I knew it would be perfect for my shop. It's probably a case of arrested adolescence, but if I'm ever going to do it, now is the time," says Davis, who has been an English professor at Minnesota State University for 20 years.
Davis is best known as the author of "Vision Quest," "Mysterious Ways," and "If Rock and Roll were a Machine" and has been a major figure in the creative writing program, where he teaches screenwriting and adolescent literature as well as fiction writing. His novels have won awards from the American Library Association and New York Public Library as best books for young adults. The novel "Vision Quest" was made into a 1985 movie.
His interest in cycles began growing up in Spokane, Wash., where he was also a wrestler and basketball player, and has continued throughout his career. Davis says to him cycles have always been a symbol of independence and also just a way to get outside. "They also are demanding: You have to be constantly alert and aware of the world around you. That's not a bad exercise for a writer."
No matter where that writing career took him, he found time and space to ride and "tinker" with bikes and also to buy used motorcycles that interested him.
Those bikes — more than 70 of them at the moment — will be on display in the huge building he's purchased on the small town's main drag and converted into a modern store and shop. It is an eclectic assortment — from Triumph to BSA, Norton to Yamaha, mainly a "retro" store, but with several new Royal Enfields at the top of the line.
"My aim will be to sell good vintage bikes at a reasonable price," says Davis, who plans to run the store himself while on sabbatical this year.
He plans to restore and service all the bikes he sells, and assisting him will be a partner, Paul Matejcek of Mankato. Matejcek recently graduated from MSU with a degree in speech therapy but will concentrate on cycles for the time being. The store also will sell some accessories and memorabilia, including Clandestine Cycle T-shirts with the motto "If Rock and Roll Were a Machine, It'd be a Motorcycle."
Although Davis says the shop is only a hobby, it's a hobby on a grand scale, and in a way just the culmination of what's always been a major passion with the writer.
"It's a risk, at age 60, but something my whole life has been leading to. This is something that will keep me going, just as riding cycles does."

When I returned from my holiday in North Devon (Woolacombe= bliss!) I discovered the new Autumn Winter Laura Ashley catalogue waiting patiently on my mat. I always love their new season stock but this issue is a cracker! It has given me great ideas for my current bout of home improvements, plus their gifts and accessories are always spot on. (Check out pages 74-75!)
A couple of Moore & Bradfield's clients have been eyeing up the 'awning stripe' curtain and blind fabric (above) in duck egg either for their kitchen or breakfast room. The 'white spot ceramic range' is also catching their eye!

Pulmatrix is advancing a pipeline of product candidates to treat serious pulmonary diseases. Our first-in-class anti-fungal product candidate for treating allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis (ABPA) in severe asthma and cystic fibrosis (CF) will enter Phase 1 in 2018. PUR1800 is the most advanced program in our proprietary pipeline, having completed a Phase 2a study in COPD patients, with continued development of an iSPERSE formulation focused on treatment of acute exacerbations in COPD. PUR5700 is a preclinical program focused on assessment of the compound for use in IPF and development activities focused on supporting Phase 1.
Our branded generic of Spiriva HandiHaler, PUR0200 has completed two clinical trials in support of establishing bioequivalence to the reference product in Europe and is poised to enter pivotal studies to support registration.
PUR1900 is an iSPERSE™ formulation incorporating a large, complex anti-fungal compound that can be administered at high therapeutic dose to the lung while minimizing systemic side effects. Patients with severe asthma and CF are afflicted with ABPA, a complex hypersensitivity reaction that occurs in response to colonization of the airways with Aspergillus fumigatus. It is estimated that 2.5% of asthmatics and nearly 15% of patients with cystic fibrosis CF suffer from ABPA, which is associated with severe exacerbations and poor long term outcomes. PUR1900 is the first inhaled anti-fungal product candidate for severe asthma and CF.
PUR1800 is a narrow-spectrum kinase inhibitor (NSKI) recently in-licensed from Respivert, a subsidiary of Janssen Pharmaceuticals. NSKIs inhibit steroid resistant inflammatory processes induced by a variety of stimuli including cytokines, pathogens and free radical stressors such as cigarette smoke. PUR1800 has completed a Phase 2a clinical trial in COPD patients and will be reformulated into an iSPERSE formulation that can be used as a treatment for acute exacerbations of COPD (AECOPD). Acute exacerbations cause significant morbidity and mortality in COPD and are currently poorly managed with existing therapies.
PUR5700 is a second NSKI in preclinical development. Preclinical data demonstrate the potential of PUR5700 to be used broadly in COPD to prevent or treat AECOPD, to treat severe asthma and as a therapy for IPF.
PUR0200 is a once-daily, inhalable iSPERSE™ reformulation of tiotropium bromide for COPD patients. PUR0200 is under development as a substitutable product for Spiriva® HandiHaler® in the European Union (EU) and as a branded alternative to Spiriva HandiHaler in the US.

Donegal to shade rematch of last year's Ulster final
"I want a proper final next year, with us two men back." That was the message Paddy Bradley delivered to Kevin Cassidy, which he recounted in the infamous 'This Is Our Year' book, following the news that Eoin Bradley would be joining his brother in the stands for last year's Ulster final.
Bradley, who was out with a cruciate knee injury, probably realised that Derry's chances had gone when his brother Eoin got injured in Ballinascreen on the Sunday before their clash with Donegal. Derry went into the game without their two most potent attackers, and their final tally of eight points shows that the absence of the Bradley brothers was one of the primary reasons that Donegal won the Anglo Celt Cup.
Almost a year later, Cassidy has since departed from the Donegal county panel, but Bradley and Derry now have their chance to get retribution for that defeat in Clones. Albeit, at the earlier stage of the quarter-final.
The Derry management team felt they were hard done by in last year's final. The controversial awarding of a penalty proved to be the catalyst for Donegal's victory. Michael Murphy's penalty was the turning point, giving Donegal a lead of three points, a lead they would never relinquish. Derry were also denied a penalty themselves, when Neil McGee's frontal charge on Emmet McGuckin was not penalised.
The return of Paddy Bradley is a massive boost to Derry. They lacked a focal point in the Ulster final last year, with Neil McGee dominating Caolan O'Boyle. This forced them into hand-passing laterally across the field, which the Donegal defence had no problem in mopping up. Bradley has indicated that this may be his last year in the Oak Leaf jersey and he will be determined to win that elusive Ulster medal before he hangs up his boots.
There is uncertainty regarding Eoin Bradley's participation in Ballybofey, with reports circulating that he is not yet match fit. If he does make it, the match-ups on the field will be fascinating. Which Bradley will Neil McGee pick up? Does Declan Walsh have the necessary experience to curtail either of them?
Eamon McGee has returned from injury and could be used, while there is always the option of moving Karl Lacey back into the full-back line to nullify the danger. However, Donegal will lose his impetus in the half-back line as a result.
Likewise, Donegal go into Saturday's clash with injury doubts of their own. Rory Kavanagh faces a fitness battle to make it, while Michael Murphy's preparations have not gone to plan. A lot will depend on the role the Glenswilly man has on Saturday. He has a hugely impressive record against Derry. With Kevin McCloy and Kevin McGuckin recently retired, Derry appear to be lightweight in the full-back position, and this is an area Donegal will be looking to exploit. Even, a second-half cameo role from Murphy may prove to be the difference.
Derry's league form was poor, winning just two games, and narrowly avoiding relegation. They drew their last game with Louth in Celtic Park, and this would certainly not inspire confidence, following the Wee County's collapse against Dublin two weeks ago.
Much will depend on how much John Brennan's charges have improved from last year's defeat to Donegal. On that day, they lost the midfield battle and only converted eight of 22 scoring opportunities. While the Kielt brothers, Charlie and James, kicked some superb scores, the vast majority of their efforts were reckless and pointless. If they are going to beat Donegal's defensive system on Saturday, they simply have to improve in front of the posts.
Donegal will take very little from the Cavan game. It was over as a contest before half-time, and it will bear no reflection on Saturday's game. One worry would be over Paddy McBrearty's lack of match practise in recent weeks, but aside from that, the remainder of the side should be fresh. Neil McGee struggled against Eugene Keating, but in a more competitive and intense game, it is unlikely that the Donegal defence will allow any Derry forward the time and space they afforded Keating.
I foresee Derry having trouble getting the ball to their forwards, and the Donegal attack should have too much ability for Derry's defence. Donegal have been hard to beat in MacCumhaill Park under Jim McGuinness, and I expect them to win by a narrow margin in a low scoring affair.

Amazon US - Amazon UK - Goodreads
Rose leaves her Cornwall café to search for her daughter in the sweltering slums of Kolkata, India.
In the daily struggle for survival, she is often brought to her knees, but finds strength to overcome the poverty and disease, grows to love the Dalit community she helps.
But then there are deaths, and she fears for her own safety.
Her café at home is at risk of being torched, and finally, she has to make the terrible choice between her daughter and the Indian children.
The minute she heard Tom's voice Rose knew it meant trouble. In the three years since the divorce their only contact had been by email, infrequent and stiff.
The day had begun like any other. It was barely light when the alarm went off. Rose felt for her slippers with eyes still shut and groped her way to the bathroom. She dragged a brush through her hair, noting the roots needed attention, pulled on yesterday's clothes and sped along the beach path to Newlyn, the wind blowing salt spray into her face. The fishing boats had already unloaded and the container lorries, heavily laden, were rumbling up the hill on their way to the restaurants of London.
Once she had collected the crab and started back, the town began to stir. Windows were opened, pavements swept, the awnings of the ice cream parlour released from their overnight restraints. The hum of a milk float, the clink of bottles. In doorways winos slumbered on, their dogs alert and watchful. The first claps of thunder rolled through the town as she reached home.
Full English breakfasts ran seamlessly into cottage pies and then the pace slowed for crab sandwiches and cream teas. The café had been full all day, a tropical rainforest, the windows steamed up and smells of wet wool, wet humanity. Broken-spoked umbrellas leaned wearily against walls, cagoules dripped from chair backs. A buzz of conversation, clatter of crockery, the gurgle of the coffee machine, waitresses scurrying back and forth to the kitchen balancing trays.
By five p.m. when Rose shepherded the last stragglers out, she longed for a cup of Earl Grey. She had just opened the fridge for lemon when the call came through. With a sigh she picked up the receiver. Felt the cat wreathe itself round her legs.
'Have you had the radio on?'
'Sit down, Rose.' No formalities, no pleasantries. He sounded strained.
'What's happened?' Aware her voice was rising, she scrabbled behind her for a chair. 'It's Ellie, isn't it? Tell me.'
'I've been at Heathrow all day.'
She struggled to hear him as the rain rattled on the window like thrown gravel. 'Isn't she there? Did you miss her? Have you phoned the airline?' Her fingernails dug into the palms of her hands. The scream of a siren outside somewhere.
'Can't get through.' His voice cracked. He was crying. 'Rose…the plane is missing.'
Darkness crept in from the edges of her vision, a rushing sound in her ears. 'A plane can't just disappear.' Her lips numb, she struggled to form the words.
'It landed at Dubai, but they lost contact after it took off again.'
'Somebody must know where it is,' she shouted. 'Have you asked—?'
'Of course I've bloody asked.' He took a ragged breath. 'We're all waiting for further news.'
'But can't you…surely…you must…have you tried her mobile?'
'She lost it. Hasn't replaced it. I'll phone again when I know something. Keep the line free.'
A click. Rose stared at the receiver, her fingers white where she had twisted the cord round them. Thought of cigarettes. Years since she'd stopped but she felt a desperate need for a huge lungful of nicotine. She couldn't just sit and wait. Leapt to her feet and sped upstairs. Drummed on the desk as she waited for her laptop to fire up. Mis-typed the name of the airline. Tried again. Cursed at the crap internet speed in Cornwall. As soon as the contact number appeared on the screen she snatched up the phone. Remembered Tom's words about keeping the landline free and slammed it down again. Scrabbled through her handbag for her mobile, tipping the contents on the floor. Punched in the number, muttering.
Come on, come on.
No sodding signal again. She threw the phone across the room where it bounced off an armchair and slid under the settee. Maybe there'd been an email? Not likely. Months since Ellie had been in touch with her—it was always Tom she turned to—but she checked anyway. Nothing.
She shivered as she stood at the window. Sails of rain blew across the promenade, people hurried past, a woman in a yellow mac, head bent into the wind. Rose wrapped her arms around her body, rocked herself. Maybe the plane had made a forced landing and they'd hear soon. But why had there been no radio contact? A plane couldn't be there one minute and not the next.
It could if it crashed.
Her throat contracted. She heard little moaning sounds and wondered where they came from. Tears ran down her cheeks and splashed on the window sill. She couldn't be gone. Not Ellie. Not her only child. Pictures flashed across her mind; Ellie in her red snowsuit trying to catch the falling flakes, Ellie beaming with delight when she won the sack race, Ellie trying not to cry when she had her leg stitched. And then Ellie, her face sullen, on her graduation day.
Please, God, don't let me lose her. She should never have been in India. This is all Tom's fault.

Gripping tale of travel and self-discovery
Fascinating detail of life there and well-paced oscillation between the challenges of India, the life the heroine, Rose, has left behind in Cornwall. A tale of torn loyalties, with a final heart-warming resolution. ~ Lynne Vernon, Amazon
If you enjoy literature about India, then this is for you. I adored such books as City of Joy by Dominique La Pierre, and Heat and Dust by Ruth Prawer Jhabvala. Outcast by Dianne Noble is another one joining my bookshelf of fabulous books.
Ms Noble writes with such ease and, without clogging up the text with deep descriptions, manages to take the reader right into the heart of the Dalit community (also known as the Untouchables) so that I felt, for the last couple of days while "devouring" this book, that I was there too smelling the stench, watching the families living in poverty between two barriers in the middle of a motorway and melting at the sight of a rare smile from the children who are just happy to survive another day. The joy of the book is the enthusiasm with which these people have learning to speak English with Rose, the main character.
There are a couple of sub-plots which are essential to the main story and which are neatly tied up at the end, leaving me completely satisfied that I've read a truly stimulating book. I look forward to reading more from Ms. Noble. ~ Susan Roebuck, Goodreads
. . .the narrative is descriptive, with a good plot and pace . . . I love that the author uses the sense of smell to bring her scenes to life. This is one sense that a lot of writers forget about. Also, the narrative achieves a healthy balance between description and letting readers imagine it for themselves. Throughout, the story-telling feels authentic and believable. I have to note how much I adore the book cover: awesome! Had I seen this on a bookshop shelf, I would have picked it up for a closer look based on the cover alone. ~ Harmony Kent, Amazon
In this her first novel, Dianne Noble introduces us to the horrendous level of life-threatening deprivation suffered by the lowest level of society in Kolkata (formerly Calcutta), capital of West Begal but pricks any incipient western smugness by depicting, alongside the Bencali location, the sleazy deprivation suffered by the lowest level of society in British Cornwall. The teme running through this novel are the parameters of motherhood, when to support, when to discipline and when to let go.
In the past I have regarded Tirgear (sic) Press as the publisher of well-written but comparatively lightweight genre novels suitable for relaxed holiday reads They are to be congratulated on adding this more in-depth novel to their lists. ~ Margaret, Goodreads
Totally Absorbing
It's difficult to believe that this is a debut novel, it is so confidently written. The author has a gift for such vivid and colourful descriptions that they made me feel that I was actually experiencing both the beauty and poverty of India. I found the children, so deprived and yet eager to greet each day, especially poignant. Add an absorbing plot skilfully developed and this is a novel I have no hesitation in highly recommending. ~ Mnskip, Amazon
This novel has an excellent sense of place
I've never been to India but Dianne's descriptions of Kolkata and the slums were so vivid that I feel as though I've spent time there. This book was a real eye opener on the suffering that goes on in that part of the world. ~ SallyJ, Amazon
A coming-of-age story with a difference.
This is an unexpectedly touching and truthful novel of family relationships, which can lift you up or drag you down . . . This novel is as transformative as it is absorbing. Watching these characters change takes us with them, in full sensory and emotional detail. Noble conjures cultural shocks in such immersive prose – whether the limited options of a small Cornish town or the unlimited dangers of a Kolkata slum – the reader is there: hot, angry, confused, disgusted, sad, itchy and overjoyed. This beautifully written book transports you to a place where the foreign and familiar are equally scary. A thoroughly absorbing read. ~ Bookmuseuk, Goodreads
This is a book that I went into not knowing what to expect and when I finished, I was left with a feeling of WOW! Just wow! . . . Ms Noble really brings you into the story engaging all your senses as you read. I will say one thing, I didn't find the book blurb to be an adequate representation of the book. Yes there's drama on both sides of the story, but it isn't as intense as the blurb would make it out to be. I totally loved this book and look forward to reading more by this author. ~ Andrea Guy, Goodreads

If you happened to catch Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's speech at the United Nations—believe me, this isn't the last you'll be hearing about it—then you were treated to quite a show. Actually, given the muted quality of the Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's speech yesterday, Netanyahu is an early favorite to have stolen the General Assembly's thunder.
What will be forgotten from Netanyahu's speech is the stinging rebuke he opened with, in response to Ahmadinejad's comments earlier in the week that Israel has "no roots" in the Middle East. What will also be overshadowed is the response Netanyahu offered to the disappointing speech delivered by Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas only minutes before, a feckless, visionless recitation by Abbas of half-truths and inflammatory charges that will do nothing to advance peace.
What you will hear about and most likely see splashed across front pages of newspapers around the world is the image of Prime Minister Netanyahu holding up a diagram of a cartoon bomb with a lit fuse. The diagram is so supposed to detail Iran's progress in building an atomic weapon that could conceivably be used to murder millions of Israelis.
While this horrific idea was germinating behind a viewer's eyes, Netanyahu pulled out a red sharpie and drew a broad red line to the exact point on the neck of the bomb that represents where Iran must be stopped in order to prevent its nuclear capability. Using IAEA intelligence estimates, Netanyahu predicted that, unless stopped, this benchmark will be achieved by Iran in the spring or early summer of 2013.
There seem to be two reactions floating around about the use of this prop. The first is that Netanyahu has made a mockery of the issue of Iran's nuclear capability by presenting such a crude cartoon to drive home a point about an existential threat. The other response has been that this was an effective use of a prop to manage a message that may resonate in the days to come.
Well, was it primitive or simple? Reductive or clear? For what it's worth, I'm too troubled by the content of the message to actually decide. There was something inherently surreal about watching a man of Netanyahu's eloquence and intelligence (and yes, power) perform such a bizarre act of political performance art.
It was also the clearest Netanyahu has ever been about what "red line" he means to draw with regard to Iran's nuclear program. In that it made me extremely anxious, I'd say it was effective. The question is whether anyone will take it seriously or not.

Summer Fishing In Full Swing
From redfish on topwater baits, to grouper offshore, we've been enjoying good variety out there lately. My favorite, the inshore waters, have been on fire. There was one week when the tides were super low and we couldn't really get up on the flats where we like to fish. But, other than that, it's been awesome fishing inshore. Speckled trout and flounder starting to show up in numbers as well. The ocean got calm for a short period in May and we were after the cobia, and did okay. It

Everything I do these days requires several do-overs. I've linked to your blog at Tootsies' latest meme. It took several tries to get the name corrected on the linky box and delete the comment here where I said I'd spelled your blog name wrong. I fixed it. Sigh.
Things look wonderful here.

I'm a newcomer to your blog, having come from Tootsie's 'Read 'em all Tuesday' party. I'm so glad to meet you.
Love white flowers in the garden, I've always been meaning to plant an all white bed one year but haven't yet. Maybe next year! How lucky your guests and family are to have such a caring hostess.
