Atrial Myxoma and Thrombi
Treatment of atrial myxoma and thrombi is one of the most exciting uses for the da Vinci Surgical System. Though benign, cardiac tumors known as atrial myxoma in the upper left or right chamber of the heart, account for about 75 percent of all cardiac tumors. Blood clots known as thrombi may form outside the tumor, putting patients at risk for dangerous blockages if fragments of the myxoma and thrombi break off and enter the blood stream. Another concern: that the myxoma grow so large they impede blood flow to the heart.
Traditional surgical treatment of the atrial myxoma and thrombi required opening the chest to remove the tumor and any clots, resulting in extensive scarring and a long recovery time. But the minimally-invasive da Vinci robotic surgery allows our surgical team to treat atrial myxoma and thrombi with more precision, less pain and a faster recovery. Other benefits may include decreased risk of infection, decreased blood loss, reduced need for anesthesia, shorter hospital stays and a quicker return to your normal routine.

City council tries to hold down taxes
Proposed budget drops 5%.
Under the city's proposed budget, taxpayers will not have to fork over more money next year unless their property valuation has risen.
For the third year in a row, the Gothenburg City Council is proposing a levy which is .30922.
For a home valued at $100,000 that means the city's tax portion will be $309 if the 2010-11 proposed budget is approved by the council Sept. 14.
While the levy remains the same, the tax asking increases 5.4% over last year to $468,301.
That's because of a 5.4% rise in valuation which jumped to $151,443,835.
Valuations for agricultural land in the county increased 12% or more.
The budget drops 5%—to $14,846,125—because the council wanted to hold the line on taxes, said city administrator Bruce Clymer.
"The council, mayor and community also wanted to try and make the budget fit within parameters," Clymer said.
Council members worked out details of the 2010-11 budget during a two-hour work session Aug. 24.
While the levy remains the same, residents are likely see a 7.6% increase on electric bills next year because of increasing costs for Nebraska Public Power District which supplies the city's wholesale power.
The council will vote on the proposed increase at a January 2011 meeting.
NPPD officials say the hike is necessary because of increased costs in their power plants and transmission systems.
Revenue has also dropped from excess power energy sales to out-of-state utilities due to mild weather and lower than expected market prices.
Gothenburg residents and businesses will also probably see an additional monthly 25-cent charge on solid waste bills to cover the cost of providing roll-off dumpsters during Clean City Week each spring.
The increase will generate about $4,500 yearly. Clymer said the city experienced a $5,706 deficit at the end of last year's campaign.
As in any large organization, salaries and benefits take the most cash and the city is no exception with an estimated $1,845,303 earmarked to pay city employees.
The Gothenburg Airport Authority's levy, although separate from the city budget is added to the city's to determine if the 45 cents per $100 valuation lid is met. Authority board members have requested $66,788 for the coming year.

Disability Research Consortium
The Disability Research Consortium (DRC) consists of two cooperatively funded research centers: Mathematica Policy Research's Center for Studying Disability Policy and the National Bureau of Economic Research's Disability Research Center. The centers are funded by SSA through five-year cooperative agreements running from FY2012 through FY2017.
The DRC's main goals are to:
- Research and evaluate a wide array of topics related to Social Security's Disability Insurance and Supplemental Security Income programs and other federal disability policies;
- Disseminate information on disability issues relevant to policymakers, researchers, stakeholder organizations, and the general public;
- Better understand the intersection and interaction between SSA and other federal disability-related programs to address the broader social and economic contexts of their administration and operation; and
- Provide training, education, and opportunities to scholars and practitioners in research areas relevant to Social Security and disability issues.
SSA's DRC will conduct a variety of activities, including outreach to internal and external stakeholders regarding various federal disability programs. Based on the disability research agenda SSA develops, the centers will conduct research, prepare policy briefs and working papers, hold an annual meeting, and provide training support and education for young scholars. As research is completed, the findings will be available on the centers' websites and linked to from this website. For DRC-related questions or to sign up for e-mail alerts about DRC activities, please e-mail us.

MacDonald returns to court in 'Fatal Vision' case
MacDonald returns to court in 'Fatal Vision' case
A hearing that could determine whether a former Green Beret gets a new trial more than 40 years after he was convicted of killing his family is beginning in federal court.
The hearing is scheduled to begin Monday in Wilmington before U.S. District Court Judge James Fox. Fox will consider two new types of evidence in the case of Jeffrey MacDonald - a case that terrified the nation and was the basis for the book "Fatal Vision."
The case hinges on testing the DNA of hair found in the home and a deputy U.S. marshal's claim that a prosecutor intimidated a witness during the 1979 trial.
MacDonald is serving three life sentences for the 1970 murders of his pregnant wife, Colette, and their daughters, Kimberley and Kristen.

HBO is saying goodbye to "Big Love."
Polygamy drama starring Bill Paxton as a Utah husband with three wives will end its run following the fifth season that begins Jan. 16.
"It has been an honor and pleasure to work with series creators Mark V. Olsen and Will Scheffer on this unique and provocative series, and I'm happy that they will be able to bring the story to its close the way they always envisioned," said HBO programming prexy Michael Lombardo.
Show bowed in 2006 on the heels of national headlines about legal battles involving polygamists. "Big Love" earned an Emmy nom in 2008 for drama series.
Last year's season drew about 5.6 million viewers per episode, counting encore airings, DVR and on-demand viewing.
"Big Love" examined the problems of Paxton — whose character owned a hardware store and then entered politics last season — in trying to keep all three of his wives happy. Jeanne Tripplehorn, Chloe Sevigny and Ginnifer Goodwin play Paxton's spouses.
"'Big Love' has been our all-consuming labor of love for the past eight years. We are very grateful for HBO's continuing support and for the collaborative effort of our partners at Playtone, our producers, our fine cast and our fellow craftsmen and crew for making this show the exceptional and joyful experience that it's been," said Olsen and Scheffer. "This coming January, we look forward to presenting our audience with the most vibrant and satisfying final season of a television series that we can produce."
Tom Hanks, Gary Goetzman, David Knoller and Bernadette Caulfield exec produce with Olsen and Scheffer.

We calculate the results from thesescores, but we don't reveal the winners to anyone—including the judges—untilthe presentation ceremony.
This rigorous process ensures that your submissions arejudged fairly and independently, and with the authority and respect theydeserve, ensuring that only the worthiest work is rewarded. There is no roomfor favoritism or backslapping here. The only way to get your hands on an awardis to impress the judges with the quality of your work.
This year's panel is a blend of first-time and seasonedawards judges —all of whom are experts in their fields. As usual, seniormarketing and communications execs from pharma companies are well represented.
To date we have added Deborah Dunsire, president and CEO ofMillennium Pharmaceuticals; Joan Mikardos, media director at Sanofi-Aventis;Benjamin Lei, group product manger, e-marketing at Genentech; and Kevin Nalty,marketing director, dermatology, Merck.

Imagine how much time you will be spending in your office and on your office chair on a daily basis, at least nine hours everyday. If you have chosen an office chair that is not the right one for you, you can very well imagine what effect that wrong chair will have on your back and your well-being! In addition, if you have any kind of bodily ailment such as Scoliosis, you can expect it to get even worse with this kind of a chair that does not suit you. So just like you shop for your clothes, trying to find the ones that will fit your best and will make you comfortable on a daily basis, finding the right office furniture such as the right chair is going to affect your days in office definitely.
Your body should be able to fit perfectly on the chair. The backrest should be at least a little higher than your shoulder so it also supports your shoulder when you lean back. Another thing to take into consideration is if the chair has features to control or change the height of the chair to fit the length of your leg from your knees to your feet. A chair with a roller is advantageous because it allows you to move around your desk when you need to move away to get something from behind you. Another advantage that you should consider in picking the right chair is being able to move your chair back or no t having to twist your body when you need to get something behind or beside you.

Cesar Gracie's official statement about the no show of Diaz
May 20, 2012, 05:44:52 PM »
World Jiu-jitsu Expo and Nick Diaz
May 15, 2012
My decision to write an account of what happened this weekend is not to answer to the detractors of myself or my team, as no explanation is owed them. It is instead based on my acknowledgement and respect to our fans and supporters. I never thought I would be answering for something that happened at a grappling tournament, however with the worldwide popularity of the sport and my team increasing, I understand that our supporters need answers.
Below is a compilation of events in chronological order. I included the behind the scenes problems we had to let you, our supporters, know how things deteriorated.
In the month of February I was contacted by a Brazilian named Junior asking me if I wanted to participate in an Expo\Jiu-jitsu tournament. The goal was to put one of our teams stars in the event to attract sponsors and ensure it was successful. The event was not that far away and they desperately needed exposure. Junior stated that he was working with my uncle Rilion and my cousin Renzo on this project and they were in fact partners. Rilion and Renzo are 2 people that I greatly admire and respect and I was more than happy to partner up with them.
I discussed the idea with Nick Diaz and he readily agreed to enter in the black belt gi division. He did not seek any reimbursement. Junior thought it better for Nick to do a super fight as he thought this would be more of a spectacle and bring in more attention. Nick was not as enthusiastic but agreed on the condition that whoever was picked to go against him was not an mma fighter. He knew even a mediocre mma fighter would try to use a match and/or victory over him to further their career in mma. Nick believes a reputation as a fighter should only be earned in a ring or cage.I relayed this to Junior and he agreed to arrange for a strict jiu-jitsu competitor.
In March I received the disturbing news from Rilion that Junior had broken his agreement with him. Rilion stated to me that Junior was registering all World Jiu-jitsu Expo names under his name alone and was no longer taking his phone calls. When contacted by me, Junior stated that he would no longer honor his financial obligations to Rilion because Rilion was doing nothing and treats me like one of his clerks.
He then went on a tirade about Rilion which I interrupted and reminded him that Rilion was my family member and I would not listen to someone speaking negatively about him.
This rift left me in a dilemma. My instinct was to sever ties immediately. Rilion was my original jiu-jitsu instructor and his reputation as an honest person was impeccable. On the other hand we had already committed Diaz and Caio Terra. Our removal would destroy an event Renzo provided all of the funding for.
I consulted with Rilion who advised me to move forward with the event. He was the one that had brought Renzo into this project and convinced Renzo to fund it. He also still believed in the idea of an American tournament that paid the best BJJ guys on the planet to showcase their skills. We agreed to move forward without him since at this stage Junior had entrenched himself and his removal was impossible. Lastly Rilion warned me that Junior was not to be trusted and would undoubtedly try to cheat me and Renzo.
In early April I got the call from Junior asking what I thought of a Braulio Estima vs Nick Diaz matchup. I had heard of Braulio and knew he was a formidable jiu-jitsu practitioner. I was under the impression that Braulio competed in the close to 200lbs weight category.
When I asked Junior he assured me that Braulio could weigh in as little as 175 lbs right before the match.
I presented his information to Nick who accepted the matchup and seemed happy to go against the top BJJ player in the world at that weight. Nick started training for the match and I brought up several BJJ black belts to compliment his training.
Looking through some of Estimas youtube videos, it was soon discovered that he had in fact been planning on entering upon a career in mma. We wondered if the match with Diaz was a way to create a buzz around him and get him signed with a prominent organization.
I called Junior who assured me Estima would not be fighting in mma and that he had spoken with him and been assured he had given up on the idea of ever fighting. Junior reiterated, Cesar I spoke with Braulio, the guy is in his 30′s, he has a family and doesnt want to live that type of life at this stage in his life etc.
I repeated this info to Nick. A week or so later it was all over the Internet that Braulio had joined the Blackzillians and was training for an mma fight. We had been lied to. Furthermore it was evident that Nicks sole condition that he not go against a wanna be mma guy was violated and this was in fact an attempt by Braulio to ignite an mma career.Nick was to have been accurately portrayed as a fighter returning to his BJJ roots. He had even agreed to give his entire purse to charity; St Judes Childrens Hospital for kids with cancer. If you know the story of Ralph Gracies son you would understand why this charity was chosen. Nicks name having been added to this event had saved it but now it was clear he was to be the patsy, not respected but used.
Despite all of this Nick was still going to compete. He brought up Kron Gracie and prepared himself. Around this time I was informed by Junior that Braulio wanted to weigh in the day before and not right before the match as is the custom in IBJJ competitions and Abu Dhabi. At the time Nick was about 186lbs so I consented to both guys weighing in at 180lbs the night before.
Nick boarded a plane on Friday for Long Beach having cut 6 pounds for the weigh in that night. On his way there I got a call from Junior telling me Braulio would not be making weight! Cesar Braulio is complaining about the weight cut. Can we have him weigh in tomorrow? He cant make the weight tonight how about 185 in the morning?
Nick arrives in Long Beach to the news that there will be no weigh ins that night. As a professional with over 30 fights this was the final straw. The disrespect and total lack of professionalism given him convinced him he was at a circus not a professional event.
At 3:20 in the morning I received a text from Junior that Braulio would in fact make the 180lbs weight class at 10:00AM. With no other option available I said fine Ill check with Nick in the morning. At 10:00AM Braulio did weigh in at 180lbs but by that time Nick had already left.
As a Brazilian I love Brazil but not all things Brazilian. In the last decade I have witnessed Brazilian cronies running the IBJJF and making it impossible for Americans to get a fair shake when competing against their Brazilian countrymen. These cronies have instituted rules to where if you miss weight by even half a pound you are disqualified and not refunded your entry fee. They gladly keep your money and treat you like crap in your country because they can. One of these cronies (Junior) decided to bend all the rules for Braulio Estima and treat Nick Diaz like crap. Sorry that didnt work out here.
As for Braulio I still respect him as a great BJJ artist. As far as calling Nick out for a mma fight, he knows that is impossible because Nick is signed with the UFC and in mma you have to make weight when they want you to. Not when you want to. If Braulio ever finds success in mma then he can mention Nicks name for a fight. Right now he should respect the man.
Nick is not without fault by any means. His lack of communication with his team and coach was inexcusable. This will be addressed privately.
Renzo and I have spoken and we are committed to continuing with this otherwise awesome event .without the services of Junior.
It should be noted that Nick paid to St Judes Childrens Hospitable the sum of what would have been his entire purse.
Thank you,
You have my apologies and my respect

A Romney campaign aide said Thursday the campaign had raised $3.2 million from more than 20,000 donors, roughly twelve hours after the Supreme Court ruling that allowed President Obama's health care law to largely stand.
The aide said the campaign has raised $100,000 online organically, just 60 minutes after the high-court ruling.
Meanwhile, the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee also moved to raise money off the decision.
The group sent out an email that in part stated:
"BREAKING NEWS: The Supreme Court just voted to uphold President Obama's Health Care law.
Republicans threw everything they had at us, and they lost. With you standing with us, we can carry this momentum into November and win a Democratic majority to keep making progress.
Please donate $3 or whatever you can right now."

Dr. Mark Himmelein
Teaching Area(s): German
Title: Professor of German
Courses Taught: German
I guess I have always enjoyed being a part of a learning community, and teaching at the university level is a way for me to continue learning. Of course, I have a real love for my discipline – teaching German language, literature and culture, and when you have a real passion for something, teaching others about it just seems natural.
Teaching Style
I'm not a slave to a particular methodology or approach. Instead, I try to gauge my students and find out where they are, and then try to move them forward. In my classes I tend to use humor as a way to relax students and to get them past the fear of speaking in another language. I try to help students relax, forget about every potential mistake and just learn to communicate. I always try to remember that I am teaching students, not just my discipline.
Interesting Curricula
The German curriculum here is largely my doing and it continues to evolve from one year to the next. That is one of the great things about Mount Union—it is small enough and flexible enough to allow faculty to experiment with the courses and the curriculum in order to make it fit our students.
Best Part of the Job
The best part of my career is teaching, that is for certain. If I can engage students in a meaningful way, then I am in my element. While I appreciate the quiet time alone in my office to read and do some research, I welcome the opportunity to work with students outside of the classroom.
I really enjoy the Kolenbrander-Harter Information Center (KHIC), particularly the upper floors. There are such wonderful views of the campus and of the lakes. The best area is the third floor reading room overlooking the lakes. No matter what the season, it is a great place to just sit, relax, read and take in the view.
Preparing Students
Mount Union gives students a well-rounded approach to their field. Presumably, anyone can learn simple business rules and transactions, but with a liberal arts education, you learn not only those practical things, but also the speaking, reading, writing and critical thinking skills that you need to advance in any career. I really feel that my colleagues and I work very hard to prepare students for the future, not just the first job they might get after graduating.
Research Interests
My research interests center around the teaching of German language and culture. Most recently I have been focusing on how instruction in a foreign language teaches one intercultural competence. Too many people assume that learning a foreign language is just about vocabulary, grammar rules and verb forms. In fact, nothing could be further from the truth. Effective language learning means understanding how language conveys culture. I'm also looking into how distance learning can be used effectively in the language classroom.
B.A., German and Business Administration, Baldwin-Wallace College
M.A., German and Educational Administration, University of Pittsburgh
Ph.D., Foreign Language Education, University of Akron
That is one of the great things about Mount Union—it is small enough and flexible enough to allow faculty to experiment with the courses and the curriculum in order to make it fit our students.
- If You Could Teach Another Class
- Well, I don't know. Perhaps a history class, since I really enjoy the subject. I can think of several academic areas I am interested in, but teaching at the university level really requires a thorough knowledge of the subject. I'd like to teach a course sometime on German-American immigration – maybe one of these days.
- Words from a Student
- It's hard to say. If you have a very successful class, I think you learn more from your students than you actually teach. What is particularly interesting is when a student gives you a fresh perspective on a work of literature or a cultural topic that you have studied for years, but which you had never quite understood in that way.
- Favorite Quote or Motto
- I guess it kind of depends on the situation, because I have several favorites. Odds are it would probably be something by Teddy Roosevelt, Friedrich Schiller, a German writer, or Martin Luther. They were all fairly rebellious and challenged conventional wisdom, which is why I admire them. I try to remain and optimist, so if I had to pick a single quote, there is one I like from Teddy Roosevelt: "Believe you can, and you're halfway there!"
- Surprising News
- I've been skydiving and paragliding—and would do them again! I'm not a real risk taker, but I just felt like I wanted to try both these activities and made up my mind to do them.
- If You Weren't a Professor
- I think I would be in some sort of social work. I have to work with people, so perhaps I'd enjoy working as a counselor or as an advocate for those with special needs. If there would be some way to combine my work with international travel, that would be even better.
- Places to Visit or Things to Do
- My dream vacation is to take an arctic safari. It's much like a safari in Africa, but this is done in winter above the Arctic Circle on dogsleds, sleighs and snowmobiles. I don't exactly know why I want to do this, I just do. Perhaps because I have traveled to Norway and I think it is about the most beautiful place on earth. Seeing the Northern Lights across the vast arctic landscape has to be amazing, and I intend to see them soon!
- Favorite Movie
- Good Bye Lenin—it is a German film from 2003. It won many awards. It's a great story on so many levels that I think anyone can enjoy it.
- Favorite Book
- Perhaps the German novella The Invention of Curried Sausage by Uwe Timm is my favorite. The title is odd, but it is a wonderful story. I met the author once and hear him read from the work, and from that time on I have been hooked.
- Hobbies and Interests
- I love to travel, and I have been fortunate to be able to do a lot of it. It gets to be an expensive hobby at times, but I'd pretty much go anywhere if I had the time and the money. I also enjoy listening to music—mostly classical works, but also music from the 50s through about the 90s. I'm starting to take photography a bit more seriously, but I think it will remain just a hobby.

FALLS CHURCH, Va. (AP) — A former Nazi concentration camp guard who has lived quietly in western Pennsylvania for more than 50 years took his fight against deportation to the nation's highest immigration court Thursday, arguing that he shouldn't be punished because he served in Hitler's army against his will.
The Board of Immigration Appeals in Falls Church heard the appeal from 88-year-old Anton Geiser of Sharon, Pa., who acknowledges serving in the Nazi SS as a guard in the Sachsenhausen and Buchenwald concentration camps. A federal judge ordered him deported in 2010.
But his lawyer argued that the court should have considered that Geiser was forced to join the SS against his will as a 17-year-old.
Government lawyers argued to uphold the deportation. They said federal law places former Nazis in a harsher immigration category, and no exceptions should be made because of compulsory service.
Adrian Roe, Geiser's lawyer, acknowledged that Congress did indeed place Nazis in a separate, harsher category when it comes to determining their rights to immigrate to and live in the U.S. But he said that not everyone conscripted into the Hitler war machine is truly a Nazi.
"The label Nazi itself sort of goes to belief," Roe said. "If they were a true believer, we don't want them here. If they were a forced participant, are they really a Nazi?"
Geiser, who was recently hospitalized, did not attend Thursday's hearing. He came to the U.S. in 1956 and was naturalized in 1962. He lived in Sharon, about 75 miles north of Pittsburgh, where he worked in a steel mill for decades and raised five children.
Justice Department lawyer Susan Siegal questioned whether Geiser's service as a camp guard was truly involuntary. She said he could have requested a transfer back to the Russian front, where he was initially serving, or that he could have simply walked away from service or defied immoral orders. She said the Nuremberg trials after World War II and military code established the precedent that following immoral orders is not an adequate defense.
"I'm sorry — Mr. Geiser did engage in crimes against humanity," Siegal said.
Roe took exception to the portrayal of Geiser as a war criminal. Geiser says he was forced to join the SS in 1942, and that he never killed anyone, though tens of thousands are believed to have died at Buchenwald and Sachsenhausen.
Geiser does not dispute that the Nazi camps were horrific, and he previously told prosecutors he was ashamed of his service. "I was not proud where I served and I didn't like it then and I didn't like it now," he said.
Most of the hearing, though, dealt not with Geiser's actions during the war but on narrow questions of legal precedent. Roe argued that a 2009 Supreme Court decision requires immigration judges to consider whether an alleged perpetrator of persecution was doing so voluntarily. More broadly, he said U.S. law in nearly all aspects takes into account whether a person was forced to act against his will, and he said the same principles should be extended to Geiser's case.
The three members of the Board that heard the case — two appointed by Republicans, one by a Democrat — are expected to issue their ruling in a few months. While it is the highest immigration court, it is an administrative body and its rulings are subject to review by federal judges and the Supreme Court. It is expected that the board's ruling will be appealed by the losing side.

SOURCE: Peregrine Pharmaceuticals
October 17, 2012 08:00 ET
Company Replaces Prior Loan Facility With Over $14 Million in Financing Proceeds Received Since September 27th; Growing Contract Manufacturing Business Remains on Track for Record Revenue Year; Multiple Near-Term Clinical Milestones Anticipated While Company Continues a Detailed Review of Discrepancies in Patient Treatment Group Coding in Earlier Second-Line NSCLC Trial
Company Replaces Prior Loan Facility With Over $14 Million in Financing Proceeds Received Since September 27th; Growing Contract Manufacturing Business Remains on Track for Record Revenue Year; Multiple Near-Term Clinical Milestones Anticipated While Company Continues a Detailed Review of Discrepancies in Patient Treatment Group Coding in Earlier Second-Line NSCLC Trial
TUSTIN, CA--(Marketwire - Oct 17, 2012) - Peregrine Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ: PPHM), a biopharmaceutical company developing first-in-class monoclonal antibodies focused on the treatment and diagnosis of cancer, today provided a company update on financing activities, its contract manufacturing business and upcoming potential clinical milestones.
Financial Update
Since September 27, 2012, the company has raised $14.3 million in gross proceeds in order to replace the initial funding it repaid under an earlier loan facility. The funds were raised under an At Market Sales Issuance Agreement with McNicoll, Lewis & Vlak LLC at an average price per share of $0.93. The company issued no warrants in connection with the At Market Sales Issuance Agreement. Based on current financial projections for ongoing clinical trials and operations including cash inflows under signed contracts with Avid's existing customers, and assuming the company does not receive additional proceeds from other potential sources of capital, this funding should provide the company with sufficient capital to reach potential upcoming clinical and development milestones through the third quarter of calendar year 2013.
Avid Bioservices Update
Avid Bioservices continues to be an integral part of our corporate strategy. Avid is on track for a record revenue year with projections in excess of $15 million for fiscal year 2013. In September 2012, Avid announced that it had signed a contract with Advanced BioScience Laboratories, Inc. to provide development and large-scale manufacturing services to support cGMP production of the gp145 HIV envelope protein, as a component of a preventive vaccine against HIV infection. With existing and recently signed business, Avid's backlog for services is in excess of $30 million covering services to be performed during the remainder of fiscal year 2013 and fiscal year 2014.
Clinical Pipeline Update
Bavituximab Oncology Program
There are currently seven ongoing clinical trials for our lead oncology product bavituximab, including two randomized Phase II clinical trials sponsored by Peregrine and five independent Investigator-Sponsored Trials (or ISTs). With this number of ongoing clinical trials, Peregrine is well positioned for constant clinical news flow for the remainder of 2012 and into 2013. Peregrine expects to have important median overall survival (OS) data from two of its randomized Phase II trials in front-line non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and pancreatic cancer towards year-end or early next calendar year. Both of these trials are open-label, Phase II clinical trials evaluating bavituximab plus chemotherapy versus chemotherapy alone.
The ongoing ISTs include:
While continuing to oversee these ongoing clinical trials, Peregrine is also conducting a detailed internal review into the discrepancies tied to the randomized, double-blind placebo-controlled Phase II trial of bavituximab in second-line NSCLC that were discovered as part of the routine collection of data in advance of the company's end-of-Phase II meeting with regulatory authorities. The goal of this review is to gain a thorough understanding of the events leading up to, including and following the patient treatment group assignments and investigational drug coding and distribution. This review includes the testing of investigational product, patient samples, reviewing the operations of multiple vendors, among other activities. Investors are reminded not to rely on clinical data that the company disclosed on or before September 7, 2012 regarding this trial.
PS-Targeting Molecular Imaging Program
The company continues to enroll patients as part of its exploratory trial of an experimental phosphatidylserine (PS)-targeting molecular imaging candidate, 124I-PGN650, in the imaging of multiple solid tumor types. The primary goal of the trial is to estimate radiation dosimetry in critical and non-critical organs. Secondary objectives of the trial are tumor imaging and safety.
Cotara® Program
Peregrine continues to have discussions with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration surrounding the pivotal trial design for its single-administration approach to treating recurrent glioblastoma multiforme (GBM). The company plans to seek partners both in the U.S. and internationally to support the development of Cotara for this deadly form of brain cancer.
Annual Stockholders Meeting Update
Peregrine's Annual Meeting of Stockholders will take place at 10:00 am Pacific Daylight Time (PDT) on Thursday, October 18, 2012 at the Wyndham Orange County Hotel, 3350 Avenue of The Arts in Costa Mesa, California. The company will conduct formal business as outlined in the Notice of Annual Meeting of Stockholders and will provide a company overview. The company overview portion of the meeting will be available by webcast and conference call (access information provided below). With the internal review of discrepancies surrounding patient treatment code assignments from its Phase II trial of bavituximab in second-line NSCLC still ongoing, management will not be making any statements or taking questions regarding this trial, the internal review or any other matters related thereto. Persons wishing to attend the Annual Meeting of Stockholders will be required to show a photo identification card and provide either proof of ownership of Peregrine stock as of the record date of August 22, 2012 (such as a Proxy Card or Voter Instruction Card) or sign a company-provided certification verifying status as a stockholder as of the record date. Attendees are asked to arrive 10-15 minutes early to accommodate the registration process and to ensure a prompt start to the meeting at 10:00 am PDT.

There are many types of video cards (also known as graphics cards) out there but most people will likely want one for gaming. A gaming video card can offer a smooth and detailed experience in all the latest games. There are many different series and brands available, but the primary thing to look at is your monitor. If you are looking for an entry level experience with at least 60 fps at 1920x1080 resolutiom but with some details turned down, then entry level gaming graphics cards such as the GeForce GTX 950 or the AMD Radeon RX 460 series are perfect.
If you are looking for a constant 60 fps with the details turned up, then the GTX 1060 or RX 470 series will be your best bet. For most enthusiast gamers, the sweet spot will be a 2560x1440 resolution monitor and a GTX 1070 or RX 480 series video card. Finally, if you're after maintaining a 144 Hz refresh rate, or a 4k (3840x2160) resolution experience, then you will need a flagship card such as the GeForce GTX 1080 or Radeon Pro Duo.
Multiple video cards can help you achieve higher levels of performance that you cannot get with a single graphics card. However, an additional video card brings along many additional requirements such as a compatible motherboard, a capable power supply, and a case with good airflow. Most midrange cards and above will support multiple graphics cards, but we generally recommend you stick with the single most powerful card for your system instead of two lower end models. The only times we recommend an SLI or Crossfire set up is when you've maxed out the performance of a single card and you're looking for more, or you have an older video card that you're looking to supplement with some additional performance.
A question that gets asked very often is: how much VRAM, or video ram, do I need? The answer highly depends on the resolution you intend to game at and the level of detail you would like. In general, the higher the resolution and the graphics settings, the more VRAM you will need. The standard for most gaming cards now is 2GB, which will be plenty for games at 1920x1080 resolution with low to medium settings. For higher settings, consider a card with up to 4GB. For 2560x1440 resolution gaming, look for a card with 6GB of VRAM, while 4K (3840x2160) resolution gamers will need a card with 8GB or more. Keep in mind that if you decide to go with multiple video cards, their VRAM does not add together cumulatively. For example, two video cards with 8GB of VRAM each will still only function like 8GB, not 16GB.
While most video cards have a reference model design, many manufacturers design their own coolers based on different needs. The three most common style of coolers are blowers, direct airflow, and water cooled. Blower style coolers use an impeller fan to pull air across the graphics chip and exhaust out of the case. These are the best choice if you have a small case, or you want to run two cards side by side in an SLI or Crossfire configuration.
The next style is direct airflow, and is the most commonly found. Many popular coolers such as the ASUS Strix, MSI Twin Frozr, EVGA ACX, and Gigabyte Windforce are all based on the same fundamental technology. Heatpipes take the heat from the graphics chip, and transfer them away to fins that are directly cooled by fans. These operate best when they have enough room for the fans to properly ventilate, but you won't run into any problems even with two directly side by side.
Finally, water cooled designs offer the lowest temperatures and lowest noise. Whether you have a custom water cooled system or an all-in-one solution such as the MSI Sea Hawk X, these designs use water to transfer the heat away to a radiator for dissipation. While this may cost more, you are often getting the highest quality cards with the most overclocking headroom.
Once you have decided on which series of video card you want, the next tough choice is which model to go with. There are many versions available out there; some are factory overclocked, while some operate at reference clock speeds. Our advice is to go with the highest clock speed you can find without having to pay significantly more. Factory overclocked models can offer up to 15% more performance compared to stock speeds without you having to worry about anything. However, if you're an enthusiast looking to overclock the video card yourself, then you can ignore the overclocked versions and save yourself some money.

CBS has notched its second straight Thursday demo victory to start the season, though "Elementary" dropped off some from its good premiere. ABC's "Grey's Anatomy" came back to earth in its second week, allowing timeslot rivals to show week-to-week gains.
Another first-year drama, ABC's "Last Resort," also fell off in its second try. But like "Elementary," it was a strong DVR performer with its pilot episode and both shows could make up lost same-night audience in playback over the weekend.
According to preliminary national estimates from Nielsen, CBS controlled Thursday's opening hour with "The Big Bang Theory" (4.9/16 in 18-49, 15.4 million viewers overall) and "Two and a Half Men" (3.7/11 in 18-49, 12.7 million viewers overall), with the former again the night's No. 1 show and the latter rising a bit vs. its week-earlier premiere and holding on to a little bit more of that potent lead-in.
With "Men" improving on last year's "How to Be a Gentleman" by a big 37%, 9 p.m. drama "Person of Interest" (3.1/8 in 18-49, 14.6 million viewers overall) showed both week-to-week and year-over-year gains to rank a solid second in demos; like every CBS program on the night, it also dominated in total viewers.
And at 10, "Elementary" (2.6/7 in 18-49, 11.2 million viewers overall) was down about 15% week to week and matched last year's "Mentalist" in the timeslot. It handily bested its broadcast rivals and gave CBS a sizable adults 25-54 edge in the 10:30 p.m. half-hour leading into the late local news (3.4 to 2.4 for ABC).
Fox had a pretty good night, as "The X Factor" ran second at 8 p.m. (3.1/10 in 18-49, 9.1 million viewers overall), down a smidge week to week, and "Glee" was on the upswing at 9 (2.6/7 in 18-49, 6.2 million viewers overall), ranking third in 18-49 and second in younger, female demos.
At ABC, "Last Resort" (1.8/6 in 18-49, 7.9 million viewers overall) declined 18% from its premiere, placing third among the Big Four but still better than the second episode of last year's "Charlie's Angels" in the timeslot. "Grey's Anatomy" followed with another good showing (projected 3.8/10 in 18-49, 10.6 million viewers overall from 9 to 10:02 p.m.), winning its hour in key demos (despite a 14% week to week falloff) and slightly outperforming last year's second seg.
The Alphabet's 10 p.m. drama "Scandal" (projected 2.0/6 in 18-49, 6.7 million viewers overall from 10:02 to 11 p.m.) was roughly on par with last week, though it was well off what "Private Practice" did in the hour a year ago.
NBC, which only aired in about 97% of the country due to football preemptions last week, was up slightly week to week — although "30 Rock" didn't do much in its season premiere in the leadoff slot (1.3/4 in 18-49, 3.4 million viewers overall). From there, "Up All Night" (1.4/4 in 18-49, 3.1 million viewers overall) and "The Office" (2.1/6 in 18-49, 4.1 million viewers overall) held steady week to week, while "Parks and Recreation" (1.9/5 in 18-49, 3.5 million viewers overall) and "Rock Center" (1.1/3 in 18-49, 3.4 million viewers overall) both gain three-tenths. "Parks" retained a strong 90% of its "Office" lead-in and logged the net's best in-season score in the timeslot since mid-January.
CW aired the finale of music contest "The Next" (0.3/1 in 18-49, 0.9 million viewers overall) and will debut its lineup of "The Vampire Diaries" and the new "Beauty and the Beast" next week.
Preliminary 18-49 averages for the night: CBS, 3.3/10; Fox, 2.9/8; ABC, 2.5/7; NBC and Univision, 1.5/4; CW, 0.3/1.
In total viewers: CBS, 13.3 million; ABC, 8.4 million; Fox, 7.7 million; Univision, 3.6 million; NBC, 3.5 million; CW, 0.9 million.

This system can achieve equal or greater results in many instances without the use of boosters. Some of the advantages to not having boosters include lower air consumption, lower installation costs, less maintenance, less "wear and tear" on the system, and less spare parts inventory.

Osteoarthritis (OA) — a degenerative joint disease — is one of the five leading causes of disability among older women and men and is the most common type of arthritis. OA is characterized by a breakdown of cartilage in any joint in the body, although it's most frequently seen in weight-bearing joints such as the spine, hips, and knees. Symptoms of this "wear and tear" condition include sore joints, pain after increased activity or extended periods of inactivity, joint deformity, and fluid accumulation.
It's estimated that one out of two Americans will develop knee OA over the course of their life, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Women are at greater risk than men. Other people at risk include overweight individuals, people with a history of trauma to the knee, or those whose jobs require heavy kneeling or squatting.
While treatment — including physical therapy, weight loss, pain-relieving drugs, anti-inflammatory injections, and surgery — is tailored to each patient, experts agree that stretching is an important part of any OA treatment plan. Stretching can help improve knee function, increase range of motion, and relieve discomfort.
So grab a mat and a towel or strap and read on for four easy knee moves that can be done at the gym or in the comfort of your own home.
Standing calf stretch
Stand facing a wall with your right leg in front of you and your left leg behind. Placing your hands on the wall for support, slowly bend your right front knee and lean into the wall, pressing the left heel to the floor. Once you feel a stretch in your left calf muscle, hold for 30 seconds, and then slowly relax. Repeat the stretch twice more before switching sides and repeating.
Bonus: A study in the Annals of Internal Medicine found that knee OA patients who performed standing calf stretches as part of an overall exercise routine experienced improved function and reported less pain and stiffness than those who did not.
Seated hip march
Sitting up straight in a chair, slightly kick your left foot back a few inches underneath the chair, keeping toes on the floor for support. Lift your right foot off the floor, keeping your knee bent at a 90-degree angle. Hold your right leg in the air for five seconds, and then slowly lower it back to the ground. Repeat 10 times. Alternate to the left leg and repeat 10 times.
Bonus: A University of Iowa study found that stronger thigh muscles can protect women against knee OA symptoms.
Quadriceps stretch
Lying face down, bend your right knee and grab your ankle with your right hand. (You may want to rest your forehead on your left forearm for support.) Gently pull your right foot towards your buttocks until you feel a gentle stretch in the thigh. Hold the stretch for 30 seconds before slowly lowering your leg. Repeat two more times (for a total of three times), switch sides, and repeat.
Bonus: A study in the Annals of Internal Medicine found that patients with OA of the knee who performed this exercise as part of an overall routine experienced improved function and reported less pain and stiffness than those who did not.
Hamstring stretch
Lie down on your back with both knees bent. Loop a towel or strap around your right foot and, holding on to the strap for support, extend and elevate your right leg to a 45-degree angle. Once you feel a gentle stretch in your right hamstring (behind the knee and thigh), hold for 30 seconds. Slowly lower and repeat two more times, switch sides, and repeat.
Bonus: A 2010 study in the journal Physiotherapy found that hamstring stretching led to significant increases in knee extension range of motion in subjects with knee osteoarthritis.
When doing these exercises, go at your own pace. If you experience pain, stop and make sure to talk to your doctor during your next visit to see what they recommend.

Jerzey Apocalypse: Revisited -OR- What if?
When the Under the Lights jersey design was released earlier this year, the hullabaloo, brouhaha, and hubbub was palpable and furious from one end of MGoBlog to the other. It even was quite MGoChic for a time to line up in rank and file on board post after board post as a running attendance of those that "Get It," vehemently opposing any alteration to the sacred home uniform. Granted, not everyone fell into this category. Yours truly and several other courageous souls braved this onslaught by staring straight down the barrel of banishment and mockery from the community simply to throw our voices into the fray- not for the smallest hope of prevailing glory or rationality- but rather because it was right. It was at this time too, friends, that the arrows of rebuke aimed at our Commander in Chief, David Brandon, began to reach a fever pitch with skepticism and paranoia reaching levels that had not been seen since Joseph McCarthy had been pacing the halls of this nations capital. The, well, mutiny of sorts, saw its escalation with endorsements from this blogs highest ranking officials including most notably, Brian (peace be upon him), while trickling down from there and eventually into the masses where it became a fundamental ideological principle and core tenet of those fighting to preserve the dignity and tradition of Michigan Football while halting the erosion of our identity by ravenous exploitationists that are literally scheming the corporatization of our very souls as we speak.
The outlook was dire, indeed, in those days. Our great general, Coach Hoke, had not yet led his troops into our hallowed battlefield where the ghosts of legends dwell and the smell of victory floats confidently in the air. We were reeling from 3 long years of famine and were anxiously awaiting our Michigan Moses to free us from bondage and lead us into Canaan. The Michigan we grew up knowing and loving was evaporating before our very eyes, and those dastardly jerseys (and night games to some) were the face of our eroding ideals and traditions.
Nevermind that Michigan has gone through dozens of uniforms in it's distinguished history, those damn jerseys with the ugly stripes and that phony looking old block M is taking it just too far dammit! My lawn. Get off it.
On September 10th 2011, at approximately 8 o'clock PM, our good old boys with their cotton' pickin' maize and blue hearts screamed out of that tunnel as they have so many times before, touched the banner, and prepared for battle all the while wearing that ghastly abomination in place of the sacred home uniforms. I don't need to bore you with the details here because you know what transpired. Michigan was pummeled by Notre Dame 50-0 and immediately released a statement after the game stating emphatically that from hence forth we, Michigan, shalt not wear legacy jerseys or participate in night games forever because it's always been better with out them and this was a huge mistake and we're sorry k thx bye.
The End. Things go back to normal and the Michigan of old is the Michigan of new again. Right?
Here friends, is where I humbly pose a question: What if?
What if our leadership isn't set on destroying us from the inside out?
What if they want to see the best for Michigan, even if that means making changes to Michigan?
What if they do actually care how we, the fans, students, and alumni, feel?
What if it was possible to respect traditions while also modernizing?
What if every change that's made wasn't contextualized as going to the heart of what it means to be Michigan? And isn't that a terribly confined view of what Michigan even is?
What if in being ambitious and thinking progressively we could still create moments that 50 years from now would be remembered as some of the greatest that ever happened?
And what if it looked something like this?: ***
Now, what if you never forget what happened on September 10, 2011? Was it worth it? Is Michigan any less Michigan-y now that we've played a night game with legacy jerseys?
OR what if in doing something like this, from the jerseys and the atmosphere to the actual play and coaching on the field, we saw an even truer picture of what Michigan is?
What I saw was that Michigan is unafraid to be the best. Michigan is unafraid to make history. Michigan sets the bar. Michigan isnt defined by it's past- but rather Michigan is defined by it's gall in conquering the present and it's aspiration to the future. Michigan might not always win, but Michigan doesn't back down to a challenge.
Friends, in my humble opinion that game could not have been more perfect. From the pageantry to the stadium renovations, to the uniforms, to unforgettable moments and to ripping out Notre Dame's heart yet again. Michigan put on one hell of a show and I'm damn proud to be a Michigan Wolverine today.
BUT: What if it never happened?
What if your no doubt cherished memories from that game were replaced with memories form a typical ND- UM game with an afternoon kickoff?
Would you be any worse off? Probably not. You wouldn't know any better and UM beats Notre Dame in alternate universes as well- but I do know this, you wouldn't be better for it. You wouldn't have the once in a lifetime experience and the memories to take. You wouldn't be able to tell everyone about it until the day you die. You wouldn't have been a part of this unique moment in history- a moment where history is made. Is that worth it? I guess that's up to you.
Finally: What if we do it again?
What if Michigan makes bold decisions in the future?
What if they're controversial and go against what you've come to know as your beloved Michigan?
Will you approach them with negativity and skepticism or will you look at them with eyes to see the possible good that may come from them? Will you reevaluate your rigid constructs of what Michigan is to you and realize that Michigan is bigger than you can comprehend and means different things to different people around the world and that no attempt to quantify or define it can be successful? I think you should and I hope you do. To keep Michigan the best sometimes means thinking outside the box and moving forward with thought and sense. Last night proved that it can be done well and it can be done right.
Go Blue.
*** These moments brought to you by Dave Brandon pissing on Michigan tradition.
