A year ago, encouraged by all who stood to benefit from the sale of my book, I set out to become a "presence" on the Web. I joined Facebook, at first feeling like the older clubgoer who stands on the sidelines, watching "the kids." Gradually, though, I got the hang of it and started accumulating an army of new acquaintances—friends of friends; old bosses, co-workers, and classmates; readers who knew my work. For a journalist, it was intoxicating to peek into hundreds of people's lives every day. When important media types accepted me as a "friend," it buoyed my spirits. Then I started blogging and tweeting about my book. I monitored traffic on Google Analytics and began obsessing about how many people I could reach. And down the rabbit hole I disappeared.
It was a slow slide, as addictions usually are. Whereas I initially felt self-conscious posting my "status," I soon became a sideshow barker. I posted videos of myself talking about the book. I promoted my blog and media appearances (though I also commented on others' posts and shared cute stories about my grandsons). Today, I not only have a home page but also a group page and several event pages—and that's just on Facebook. It requires attention. My eyes burn; my back aches; I'm constantly distracted. My loved ones express concern, but I can't seem to stop myself. I am powerless over social media, and my life has become unmanageable because of it.
In turns, I worry that I'm overdoing it and that I'm not doing enough. I'm chasing the perfect wave. It all seems worth it when I receive an affirming note, a thank you, praise for my writing. If I were in my right mind, I'd recognize that "your book looks interesting" is far from a rave review, but even a throwaway comment like that amounts to my next fix.
Call it Hype 2.0—this notion that we just need the right combination of social media to connect with readers. Blog it, and they will come. Legions of Web sites and new media mavens fuel the frenzy, advising authors to be self-starters and, at the same time, inveterate connectors. They admit it requires "work" (read: every waking moment), but look at Kelly Corrigan, a newbie whose self-made publicity blitz for her 2008 memoir sold 80,000 hardcovers and 260,000 paperbacks. I hear her story and think, I can do that. (The old guys in Miami who comb the beaches probably felt that way when the amateur "metal detectorist" discovered a million-dollar treasure trove under the sand.)
Last January—light years ago in Internet time—a Ph.D. who studies this stuff told me that the likelihood of a book going viral is right up there with getting an invitation from Oprah. I didn't want to believe him. I've actually been on Oprah. I've already had a bestseller. Like a good addict, I keep thinking I'm different; I can beat the odds. But I haven't. Even worse, I'm not a journalist anymore. I've become a publicist. I'm still churning out words by the thousands—and some interesting ideas—but much of it is in service of my latest book.
When I was a fledgling editor and writer, a mentor told me my gift was the ability to digest a complex body of knowledge and make it accessible to everyone. I've been doing that for decades: picking brains, analyzing, and illustrating my points through other people's stories and my own. I've always loved that my profession allows me to delve into a great idea and then leave it behind, moving onto the next. But Hype 2.0 changed that. So, I've begun asking myself, at what point do I stop looking at the world only through the lens of my last great idea, stop tweeting and posting messages about it?
The answer has to be: now. Therefore, my 2010 resolution is to do what journalists always do when they finish an assignment: move on. I'll use social media, but mainly for my own pleasure and edification, not to sell books. As a friend recently pointed out, "Your success will be an act of God, not an act of Melinda." I will continue to blog, connect with people, learn from them, and, with their permission, tell their stories. I will become a writer again.

A condition also known as excessive gingival display in which the individual shows an abnormal amount of gums while smiling. Of the many causes, the most common ones include short teeth, a hyperactive upper lip and an elarged upper jaw bone. People with this condition can be quite repulsive while smiling, and therefore treatment is recommended. Celebrities with this condition include Miley Cyrus and Jon Heder. Related terms include "gummy laugh" in which the individual's laugh also shows an abnormal amount of gums, and therefore is equally repulsive.
"Hey did you see Drew in that picture from last night?"
"Yeah, he needs to get his gummy smile fixed."

One Step Practice - If you are allowed to use tools....USE THEM!
Lesson 2 of 22
Objective: Students will be able to use inverse operations to solve a one-step equation.
Big Idea: Check your work - WHAT?! Yes, I would like you to check your work using tools strategically - smartphone, calculator...
Opener: As students enter the room, they will immediately pick up and begin working on the opener – Instructional Strategy - Process for openers. This method of working and going over the opener lends itself to allow students to construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of others, which is mathematical practice 3.
Learning Target: After completion of the opener, I will address the day's learning targets to the students. For today's lesson, the intended target is "I can use inverse operations to solve a one-step equation." Students will jot the learning target down in their agendas (our version of a student planner, there is a place to write the learning target for every day).
Resources (1)
Resources (1)
Smartboard Activity: For this portion of the lesson, the students are going to practice their fluency with solving one-step equations by playing a spinner game on the smartboard. I conduct this as a table challenge, and any table that gets the question right gets to come up to the board to spin - for points, stamps, or candy! As students practice, I am trying to get them accustomed to carefully checking their work (mathematical practice 6), and using tools such as their smartphone or calculator (mathematical practice 5). I want them to use the resources available to them - even though I am a little proud that they want to be able to do it without. The problems that I chose for the activity allow students to work on their skills with fractions and decimals, which is the issue that I saw most kids having in the previous lesson.

Bryan Cranston Might Direct Modern Family Ep
And Britney Spears is basically begging for a guest spot.
Bryan Cranston is working out a deal to direct an upcoming episode of Modern Family, TV Line reports, which would be Cranston's first time directing a comedy since a 2006 episode of the completely forgotten Big Day. Cranston has directed two episodes of Breaking Bad, as well as a handful of Malcolm in the Middle episodes back in the day, so Modern Family isn't too big of a stretch. But Walter White's not the only person seeking out Dunphy territory: Britney Spears has been tweeting up a storm about wanting to guest-star. We'll see!

The eurozone crisis has been very conveniently framed as a sovereign debt crisis in fiscally loose peripheral economies from the very beginning. The fact that Ireland had implemented the toughest austerity measures but still had to be bailed out because of its banking sector's bad loans to the real estate sector was ignored in the policy circles in the EU and by politicians. This lesson was soon forgotten in the EU, and there has been an unwise concentration of efforts and attention on rescheduling Greek sovereign debt and implementing austerity measures in Greece. Similarly, one of the biggest cognitive mistakes of the media, the eurozone politicians and technocrats has been framing the problems in the eurozone in terms of individual countries or groups of countries -- PIIGS, etc. As I have argued with my co-authors in our recent working paper from CRESC, the eurozone crisis is primarily a banking crisis.
This is Europe's subprime crisis, where a return on equity (ROE) and Basel II complicity caused banks in the eurozone to expand their balance sheets by lending to real estate, sovereigns and in cross-border eurozone interbank markets from 2002 onwards. Under Basel II capital adequacy accord, these three categories of bank assets are viewed as low (real estate and interbank lending) or zero (sovereign debt) credit risk. And in banking, the key performance metric in both stock market listed and mutual banks has been ROE and still is in the post-crisis period. The post-crisis gigantic trading losses at UBS and JPMorgan Chase are mostly the result of searching for an unrealistic ROE of 15 percent.
Share prices of banks are driven by ROE and bonuses are driven by its management accounting equivalent -- return on risk-adjusted capital (RORAC) ratio. The latter has been promoted by Basel as a scientific measure of desirable profitability in banking. Basel capital accord, which is based on modern finance theory that is cognitively incompetent to deal with the reality of asset bubbles, is not sociologically sophisticated either to quantify the risk-weights for bonus-driven behavior in banking. This ROE-Basel complicity then encouraged the eurozone banks to increase their ROEs to Goldman Sachs' level by reducing the denominator through increasing the share of low risk-weighted sovereign debt, interbank lending and real estate loans.
Consequently, the French banks had a staggering 16.2 percent of French GDP exposed to the Italian banks and private and public entities as of Q2 2011. The UK banks' exposure to the French banks and economy was 13.6 percent of the UK GDP. The UK banks' similar exposure to the Spanish economy was 4.5 percent of the UK GDP. French banks had credit exposure of 5.9 percent of French GDP to the Spanish banks and public and private entities. This chain of interconnectedness of bank balance sheets in the eurozone and the UK is the major source of the eurozone crisis. The reason that the ECB had to introduce the gigantic €1 trillion Long Term Refinancing Operations in December 2011 and February 2012 was to save this interconnected eurozone banking from collapsing as banks stopped trusting each other in the interbank market. But the politicians, media, IMF and the EU Commission still focused narrowly on Greece's fiscal deficit and on creating a fiscal pact in the EU.
The dangerously evolving Spanish banking problem should now ring alarm bells in the EU and the UK. It is time to recognize that the eurozone has a banking crisis that is bigger than the sovereign debt problem. An effective solution to this enormous banking crisis involves creating a temporary eurozone bank which buys the most problematic sovereign debt and real estate loans from the eurozone banks. Then eurozone bonds, central bank liquidity injection and equity participation by the eurozone countries through cleverly planned incentives and penalties should fund this bank. And this bank should be free from the unenlightened alchemistic ROE-Basel complicity.
The alternative, which is a knee-jerk reaction of individual countries' suboptimal and unsuccessful recapitalization of interconnected national banks, will be a waste of scarce economic capital in the EU. Spanish government's recapitalization of Bankia is not good for the eurozone, because such state financed single-country recapitalizations are costly in more than many ways. A temporary eurozone bad bank will benefit from the economics of pooling both bad assets and financing such pooled bad assets. Then the policy makers in the eurozone should concentrate their efforts on creating a banking union from the healthier balance sheets of the remaining banks.
Such a banking union together with pension funds can finance the fiscal deficits and the growth policies in the eurozone at a much lower cost with better designed long-term debt instruments. The history of banking crises is full of such successful examples of restructuring of bank balance sheets and dealing with excessive public and private debt at the national level. The EU needs the political will and technocratic imagination to create such a eurozone bad bank and the complementary banking union if the EU wants to save the euro. The alternative is too painful, if not catastrophic, for everyone both in the eurozone and outside.

(Vitor and Dan in 2006, tanned to the gills and ready to rock. / Photo via MMAWeekly)
On Tuesday's installment of UFC Tonight, it was announced that the UFC is looking to book former champions Vitor Belfort and Dan Henderson against one another for a fight November 9th in Brazil. The fight would be a rematch of their October 2006 Pride 32 bout, which resulted in a decision win for Henderson and a steroid suspension for Belfort.
UFC Tonight did not specify what weight the fight would take place at; both men have campaigned at middleweight, light heavyweight and heavyweight in the past. However, it will be a safe bet that the TRT will be coursing freely through the veins of both future hall of famers, though, as Brazil ain't exactly Nevada or New Jersey when it comes to drug testing credibility.
If Belfort agrees to the fight, it will be an interesting move given how fickle and picky he's been with proposed match-ups in recent months. He's turned down Tim Kennedy, ignored an offer from Lyoto Machida and said he wouldn't fight at middleweight unless it was for the belt, before challenging Chael Sonnen (at what weight, no one knows). Sonnen accepted publicly but now it appears Belfort will go for Henderson — who is on a two-fight losing streak compared to Belfort's two-fight win streak.
Henderson has a great chance to jump back into title consideration with a win over Belfort, however. If he beats the red-hot Brazilian on his own turf, he'll likely be able to make a case for more big match ups at either middleweight or light heavyweight and, if he could win another one of those in exciting fashion, Hendo might very well find himself on a short list of title challengers, depending on who the champions are. Meanwhile, Belfort will take a fight against a 43 year old man on a losing skid in a fight that will likely not help his standing in any weight division. I guess.
What do you say, taters? Do you want to see this rematch and, if it happens, who do you see coming out on top and how?

Thai Boycott Bites Shares of Companies Tied to Prime Minister
Market Value of Companies Linked to Yingluck Shinawatra and Her Family Has Dropped More Than $2 Billion
Thai companies targeted by antigovernment protesters for their perceived links to Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra and her family have lost more than $2 billion in market value in less than a week.
A call from protest leaders for a boycott to pressure the administration has caused share prices to plummet. Advanced Info Service, or AIS, Thailand's largest telecommunications provider, has been caught up in a subscriber exodus despite the company having severed ties with the Shinawatras in 2006....

Xin Zhao Build

Not Updated For Current Season
The masteries shown here are not yet updated for the current season, the guide author needs to set up the new masteries. As such, they will be different than the masteries you see in-game.
Xin Zhao has always been an OP champ to me. He is a good burster/ganker/DPS.
The only thing that people are missing to this champ is his health. Make sure to at least get a Phage early game in order for Xin ZHao to survive battles. Trust me, investing in a Phage can keep Xin alive for most of battles.
Xin combos are very deathly and can down any champions really quick.
Always activate Q, before you press E.
Always activate battle cry in order to quickly refresh the 3 Talon Strike.
Always try to use his ultimate at beginning of battles because it takes away damage based on their health. The more health = the more damage.

From its inception in 1997 to the end of the line in 2008, team Moto XXX has stood for everything that was dirt bike riding, heck maybe even motorcycle riding in general. A little bit rebellious, a little bit of outlaw and some desire to be different were the general rifts of the team. Started by three guys that just loved the sport, the Moto XXX brand helped a lot of riders over the years and spawned a career in the industry that can still be felt today. Nine riders that rode for the team had factory rides before or after being on the team and seven former mechanics went on to be factory wrenches (this author included).
The team, started by Kurt Haller, Jordan Burns, and Erik Sandin (Ed note: Despite repeated requests Kurt Haller declined to be interviewed for this story), lasted for eleven years in various incarnations, through different managers, different bike brands, and different ways of getting to the races, and it's hard to tell the whole story of the team unless it's through the words of the people that lived it.
We have part 1 in the newest Racer X Magazine, so pick it up if you want those details. Without further adieu, here is the good, bad, and the ugly of Team Moto XXX over the rest of the years through the words of the people that were there and lived it.
Click HERE for Part 2, HERE for Part 3, HERE for Part 4 & HERE for Part 5
Riders Kyle Lewis, Justin Bucklew, Juss Lansoo, & Nick Evennou
Alan Brown, manager—"In 2005, it was Kurt losing some interest, the team was turning into something bigger than people could imagine. I became the manager of the team. We got a semi, a shop and started turning the corner into a more legitimate team. It really took off after this for a little bit."
Kyle Lewis, rider—"I think Alan would be a real asset to a team that had resources. I think he needs to stop dealing with the day-to-day stuff and be a crew chief or something. Just pay him enough and let him work on the bikes, some team would get a real steal."
Brown—"Yoshimura was preparing for the new Suzuki RMZ450, and Suzuki had hired Ricky Carmichael to ride for them. The plan for them was he was going to promote their pipes and take them to a new level, so they dropped us, but in the end, Carmichael didn't run their stuff. But Yosh did put me onto Akrapovic exhausts, which helped out a lot over the years."
Jordan Burns, owner—"There was always tension there throughout the years between Kyle and Kurt and what he thought he deserved being on the team. Those guys had battles for bikes, parts and money over there years. I'd always grow tired of these guys talking about not getting paid while they had a huge house and all that, and I was driving a 1986 Toyota truck. Maybe I didn't know the ins and outs of the things that were being discussed, but it would make me frustrated. I'd go over to his house and it was huge with this fat pool set-up, and seemed like he was doing fine!"
Lewis—"The whole Moto XXX deal, people thought it was bigger than it was. People had no idea how we were doing it behind the scenes, it was a lot of sacrifice by everyone in the office and on the team. No one was getting rich off it and everyone worked hard. And somehow, someway, we ended up coming off looking pretty good."
Brown—"Somewhere around this time, Joe Murphy became more involved than he already was. He financed Brad Williams, whose truck we used in 2002. Then, the next two years we used the Yosh truck, and Joe was more behind the scenes. Joe had been brought into the Moto XXX team circle because he's just a mover and a shaker. Joe started Atomic 22 before Moto XXX and has been in the sport for a long time. When Yosh dropped us, they took the semi, and one of my biggest moves in getting control of the team was getting Joe involved in a bigger scale behind the scenes. We needed a lot of money with Yosh out—they didn't give us cash but they gave us truck, a driver, fuel and a workshop—that was huge. When they dropped us, it was a big deal. It was close to being done. Yosh cut our cord and we had to stand on our own two feet."
Kyle Bentley, mechanic—"I worked there all of 2005 and half of 2006. Before Moto XXX my rider that year was Jimmy Wilson, and he got hurt in Phoenix. I wasn't planning on doing anything, but my buddy Eddie Ray called me and put me in touch with Alan Brown. Alan called me and everything worked out from there."
But Moto XXX stopped making their video series due to flagging sales of the video genre, and it was a move that some associated with the team think was a bad idea…
Burns—"We didn't make a seventh Moto XXX video because we just weren't seeing a return from the last videos. There were so many people jumping on the video bandwagon, it was ridiculous. Everyone was a videographer. When we were doing it, it was hard as you had to find locations, line up the riders, and it was a different scene. By the time we put out XXX 6, Gravity Games and X Games were out and everyone had seen it all. No one got motivated to do it."
Brown—"Once the last video came out, Kurt's life was changing with having kids and all that. He was moving in a different direction and the big thing with him, I think, was he was an artist and when anyone could make a video with the digital filmmaking, he was over it."
Scott Roegner, mechanic, inside sales—"Jay Schweitzer was a video guy, mostly. He did some sales but he wanted to push the video side of things and be a producer and filmmaker not a sales guy. He'd work on the XXX videos, but when they died off, he left to start his own deal and has become pretty successful."
Burns—"Kurt didn't want to pay Jay to make another XXX video, and Jay went out on his own to make some great films. I think, even we made no money and we would've, it would have been in Moto XXX best interests to make another video to just let people know we were still alive. Jay and I talk about that a lot, Kurt blew it. Jay had success and is exceling making movies and instead of him making "On the Pipe or Crush," it would have been Moto XXX, and I think Jay would have kept us in the game with his videos."
Roegner—"I think it was a mistake to let him leave. Jay is incredibly talented behind the camera, and has done some great work. He had a stench-foot issue that we didn't like to deal with, but he was great."
Brown—"The three guys didn't put money into it after the initial investment of their video sales. The team was supporting itself through the sponsors. The team was a legitimate business and not a charity case where those guys just poured money into it. So we didn't need the videos to sell anymore to run a successful team.
So no videos, but even without them, Moto XXX the race team carried on with some moderate success that year…
Brown—"Jimmy Holley was buddies with Juss Lansoo, this rider from Estonia, and O'Neal was still a big sponsor of ours back then. Holley probably got into the ears of O'Neal and they wanted us to hire Lanssoo, so we did but it was a struggle for Juss indoors."
Lewis—"At times Alan and I butted heads. I said I couldn't ride the bike and that I was uncomfortable. He just thought I wasn't training or was getting old. We got into it pretty gnarly. I had another guy do my suspension, and I qualified better than I had all season. And he took it off and did some of his own stuff. It was a grey area where I owned some of the team and he was team manager, so I was wondering why I had to listen to him!"
Brown—"We had Justin Buckelew that year, he did pretty well for us. He pulled a couple of unbelievable holeshots at Unadilla. Both motos, also, it was like he cheated on the gate drop or something. It looks like a photoshop of a guy just dropped in. I was doing the motors back then."
Bentley—"I worked for Nick Evennou but he got hurt for supercross so we just did outdoors that year. Nick was an extremely fast kid who was either on the bike going fast or on the ground crashed. At some point I worked for Kyle Lewis. He was very meticulous and very picky. We got along, but he was one of the most detailed oriented guys I've ever seen."
Riders Kyle Lewis, Tim Ferry, Josh Summey and Juss Lannsoo
Brown—"In 2006 we got Unbound Energy drink and Josh Summey, who came along with the drink money. Scott Sepkovic made the deal happen. He had the money from Unbound and told me he could give me the cash for certain things that I had to do, like take Summey, and the deal was done. They wanted us to have 250's and 450's and Josh had potential, so it was all fine."
Roegner—"Right around 2006, when I stopped racing myself, I was in the XXX office, I was getting ready to graduate. Over time when Alan got in there I got to know him well and Josh Summey was on the team. They needed a mechanic, and although I'd never worked on anything but my own bike, I got the job as a mechanic with Summey for 2006 250SX East Coast. I had come from the kid hanging out to video sales guy to now a mechanic."
Burns—"Summey was awesome, but the thing about him was he was so quiet. I would try to fire him up, I would do anything I could to get him in trouble. That's all I wanted to do, get him in trouble. He was all tatted out, looks punk rock, and then he just sat there all mellow. I wanted him to run his visor backwards and go out there. I really asked him to do that, but he seemed scared that he would get in trouble with Alan or something. I thought it would have been awesome."
Tim Ferry, rider—"I was talking to some different teams for 2006, with Motoworld Yamaha being one of them, and I could have gone over there with some Yamaha support. Yamaha didn't want to get rid of me but couldn't rely on me because I had been hurt for two years. They also wanted me to ride the two-stroke, but I didn't want to. At some point I had ridden Jason Thomas's 2005 Honda CRF450 and it was awesome. It blew me away, and I knew I had to get on that thing. I would ride one of those today, they were that good. This was the 2005 and I have to say in 2006 the chassis wasn't as good, they changed something on it."
Brown—"Getting Tim Ferry to ride for us was huge. I thought he was packing it in and retiring to be honest. He had a few bad years, with his wrist, and Yamaha had given up on him. I always liked Timmy and went after him hard. He was hesitant at first. After all, we were Moto XXX and there was always a question of our professionalism and desire. But I showed him we did well with Huffy and Lewis and I thought it was a cool chance for him to do something. Even though I had known him since he turned pro, it took a couple of months to convince him."
Ferry—"So I wanted to ride a Honda, it was stuck in my mind, and Alan was calling me to ride for XXX. The Motoworld deal was three or four times more money, but I was worried about getting paid and I didn't want to ride the two-stroke. Alan was super honest and laid it out there. He said he couldn't offer a lot, but that he would get me the best bike they could, he promised I would get starts and $1000 a race for expenses."
Roegner—"I didn't interact with Ferry much this year. He was Tim Ferry and I thought he was kind of a big deal. Lewis the same way, we got along, but there wasn't any bro-down stuff going on. Josh and I stuck together."
Ferry—"I went from making over a million dollars a year and a factory bike to expenses, thirty thousand dollars, and a privateer bike, but I really wanted that Honda!"
Brown—"We had all our contracts done with O'Neal when Ferry decided to come on the team. We asked for more money and they said no so I said, ok, he'll wear another brand of gear. They said that couldn't happen either, so it worked out. Ferry did his own gear deal, and it happened to be with O'Neal, so that we all looked the same."
Ferry—"I could do my own gear deal, so I got 30K from O'Neal that year. I ended up staying with O'Neal for the rest of my career so that worked out pretty good for me."
Burns—"I just always wanted Tim Ferry to stand in our pits, take his shirt off and yell 'F**K EVERYONE!' (Laughs) But you can't change these guys, I guess."
Brown—"We still had Lansoo but Juss still wasn't very good at supercross. I always believe that no matter how good you are at motocross, you should start supercross on a smaller bike. I don't care how big you are, you need to learn on a small bike, or the big bike is going to hurt you. And that's what happened to Juss. He would get a little caught up in a moment and pin it. At some point he quaded a triple and broke his wrist. He never got any better after that. Awesome guy, though."
Ferry—"I remember Juss had a bad wrist, and he just dealt with that all year. He would say the funniest stuff, and I never wanted to make him mad. He was like the Hulk, where I thought he would smash stuff. He was super scary in supercross. He struggled with that stuff but he was a cool guy."
Brown—"Ferry's first race, at Anaheim, he got a holeshot in the heat race, and I think he might have panicked because he hadn't gone through the whoops that good all day. Now he knew he had to go for it, he blitzed about halfway, his front end dropped, and he ate crap. That was scary right there, he hadn't crashed yet on the team. He was done for the night but afterwards it was onto Phoenix where he did better. He got better as the season went on."
Ferry—"I had wrist and knee surgery that past July and didn't start riding until December of 2005. So when I crashed out of the first race in 2006, I thought I would be fine to go there and just kind of ride around, but that didn't work out. It was just a slow progression until my wrist started healing a bit."
Lewis—"Ferry would always smash me for some reason! We would be in qualifying position and he would try to take me out. I about broke my hand on the trailer one night when Alan told me that I needed to race nice with him because we were teammates. I was pissed. I told Alan to tell Ferry to not come near me for a while—I think this was at San Diego. It was partly Alan's fault for not sort of figuring it out early on and talking to him. Off the track we'd be cool and he was a nice guy but on the track, he liked to smash me."
Brown—"Going into the outdoors, he (Ferry) got hurt testing and missed the first few races. But, near the end of the nationals, he got a lot better and was putting in top fives. His finishes were back up to where we used to be as a team, and we needed that."
Ferry—"I made a big suspension change, around mid-season of the outdoors. I had known Mike Batista at MB1 for a long time and I was using his stuff but man, something just wasn't right with the bike. He does great work, but for whatever reason, the bike wasn't working that well. So I had Bones at Pro Circuit do some stuff for me, and I instantly moved up two spots at my first race, then I started getting into the top five. I never, ever changed a clicker or anything. Anytime I tried to move a clicker, the stuff got worse so I would put it back to where it was."
Lewis—"I was frustrated at times at the end of the deal with my suspension, we had Race Tech and they're awesome, but I just couldn't get comfortable. And Alan was forcing it on me but Ferry was using Pro Circuit stuff. Alan eventually let me use Ferry's spare stuff. The stuff was so good, I even led Ferry for a while but he took his forks back."
Brown—"The whole thing started when Kyle had a vision when he came back from Japan to ride for the guys and he was still a rider. Which meant that he grew up in a world where it was all about him. And that's not good for a team atmosphere. It got really hard when he wasn't the top dog and I wasn't doing stuff that wasn't in his best interest. He disagreed with stuff I was doing, sponsors that we got and the fact I was putting an effort into other guys. He definitely deserved some effort but he wasn't the marquee guy that he once was. I totally get it and understand how tough that would be for him."
Ferry—"Kyle was cool to me when I was there. I never fed into any of the drama on the team that was there from time to time. He was towards the end of his career and was the star of the team so I didn't make anything into more than it was. I just showed up and did my best. Alan was buddies with him, and I had my wife and kid there, so we didn't hang out much."
Burns—"My band was travelling quite a bit and Erik's band was so busy with what they had going on and we tried to be involved the best we could but it was tough. I was always the mouth of the team. I was always talking about Moto XXX, in any interview I did with music magazines or whatever—I pumped the team up. But yeah, I couldn't devote that much of my time to the team."
Brown—"Jordan was always saying he was Moto XXX forever, to the death, and around this time, there were three pictures of him in Racer X with nothing Moto XXX on whatsoever. I was pissed about that because he was the first person to talk about how we weren't getting the press we deserved."
Ferry—"At some point Kawasaki came to talk to me. I thought my agent was messing with me about that but he said, 'No, they want you and you can have the ride' but I was like 'I don't have a contract so I don't believe it!' But it ended up working out. Moto XXX got me a factory Kawasaki ride and another chance on a team at that level."
Bentley—"It was funny that year because (Kenny) Watson now worked for Utopia goggles and was our goggle guy. He based himself out of the Moto XXX truck, and it was like a reunion there. He used to tell us how he ran the team and he was the reason the truck was there. He was always yelling about this or that."
Ferry—"Honestly, the team was pretty good. It was so different than being at Yamaha. There wasn't any pressure on me like over there. They didn't favor anyone over there as by the time I left Yamaha they were starting to favor Chad (Reed) a little bit. I remember that the team had no bathroom in the truck, that was the worst thing about them."
Bentley—"Jordan and Erik were around and they were awesome guys. They loved the sport and would do anything they could for the team. Jordan caused trouble by wanting to play under the awning and piss the SX people off. Alan was the first team manager in my career, we're still friends to this day and he taught me a lot."
Ferry—"I don't remember Erik being around much, those guys would just pop in from time to time. I knew Jordan already from being in one of the first videos that Moto XXX had, so we went back a ways. It's funny, those guys would just pop in and out whenever you least expected it. They were just enthusiast's man, they were just stoked to be at the races. I see Jordan every now and then, he's the same guy he was back then."
At the end of this year, a founding sponsor and the team would split ways after ten memorable years of sponsorship…
Brown—"Frank at O'Neal was a very good businessman and still is, but he worked it hard. Our licensing agreement ended with O'Neal at the end of 2006, and they weren't renewing it. We always had to beat on their desk to get paid, and they always paid in full but they wouldn't pay you unless you pounded on their desk … but they did pay unlike some other sponsors!"
Frank Kashare, O'Neal—"We loved being a part of XXX. I think the team never got the sponsorship from outside the industry that they deserved. Maybe it was the name, the overall image, or just the timing of it all. You have to respect a crew that could keep things going for such a long period of time. In truth, they helped change the pits to a party atmosphere, and in a number of ways, created a bit of a segment in the sport that is here to this day."
Brown—"They (O'Neal) lowballed us for gear but Moose Gear wanted to join up with us also and the power of Parts Unlimited, who own Moose and was distributing our clothing, was a good thing. We gave O'Neal an opportunity to match, but they didn't and we moved on. O'Neal had been with Moto XXX since it started so it was a big moment."
Lewis—"By the way, look at all the mechanics that have worked at XXX and went on to become factory guys, and all the riders that went on to great things either before or after Moto XXX. Guys like Jay Haines, Dave Dye, Shawn Ulikowski, Steve Matthes, Sean Irwin, Kyle Bentley all worked here and became factory mechanics. I think that says something about our program."
Brown—"At the end of 2006, Kurt said he was done—completely done and right out of it. If the team was going to continue, it was 100 percent my responsibility, and it was 'Here you go, good luck' and I was off."
Stay tuned right here on Racer X Online for the rest of the Moto XXX: A Complete Oral History coming soon.

When monitoring intensity of exercise while pregnant, it's important to use the "talk test." This means that if you can talk comfortably while you are exercising, the intensity is just right. Doctors used to recommend that a pregnant woman's heart rate not exceed 140 beats per minute, but that rule no longer applies. The "talk test" is an easier and effective way to monitor your exercise while pregnant. Depending on your stage of pregnancy, you might not be able to get into certain positions, like lying on your back or on your stomach. In order to keep your core strong during and after pregnancy, planks are a fantastic exercise (see video in post Challenge #2 - Water & Exercise). While you probably don't want to take up any new sports or try to learn a completely new way to exercise while pregnant, you can safely continue with your current regimen while modifying as needed (always check with your doctor!). If you need extra help, seek out a pre/post natal exercise specialist in your area. I also highly recommend checking out some pre-natal yoga classes!
You know your body better than anyone else. Listen to it.
Your doctor will give you the necessary vitamins and supplements to take during your pregnancy, and typically these will include the following: Vitamin B12, Folate, Vitamin D, Calcium, Iron, Zinc, and Fatty Acids. During your second and third trimesters protein intake should also be increased by about 25 grams per day. LOTS of lean protein and veggies are key. In fact, a pregnant woman can easily follow the 5 Simple Tips to Eating Healthier I recently posted. Always choose whole foods over supplements as a way to get all important vitamins and minerals.
You are going to gain weight when pregnant, and the best way to ensure a quick bounce back after you deliver is to focus on high quality foods and to keep moving! Sugars, transfats, fast foods, and all of those bad foods that taste good are bad for pregnancy. If they are bad for you, certainly you don't want your baby to ingest them! By eating a whole food based diet, most women should expect to gain the following amounts of weight (Precision Nutrition):
-Underweight/average women gain 25-35lbs
-Overweight women gain no more than 15-25lbs
-Women 5'2" and under gain 10-25lbs
Of course your doctor will give you the specific details on what you individually should expect out of your pregnancy with guidelines to follow. It is likely that you can continue the same nutrition plan you were on while pregnant when you are nursing.
What are they keys to a quick bounce back? Stellar nutrition focused on whole foods (lean protein, fruits and veggies, whole grains) and commitment to an appropriate exercise routine. Take care of yourself better than you ever have while you grow your baby. The reward is not only a quicker return to your pre-pregnancy state but also a healthy, happy baby!

(KMOV) -- The Madison County auditor on Wednesday called for an oversight committee to review investments made by the county treasurer.
Last week, Madison County Auditor Rick Faccin told News 4 treasurer Kurt Prenzler's wrong decision in selling bonds prematurely ultimately cost the county $1 million.
"In addition to a $1 million loss of county funds in 2011 incurred by Prenzler through a pre-mature sale of county bonds, investment income has dropped from $3,671,861 in 2009, before Prenzler was elected treasurer, to $573,817 in 2012, and $273,368 in 2013," Faccin said in a news release Wednesday.
Faccin has called on the oversight committee to review Prenzler's investments, including why he earned 0.21 percent on $130 million in investments this year.
Faccin told News 4 earlier this month the lack of return on investments could lead to an increase in fees and property taxes.
Prenzler has denied Faccin's claims.
"I'm investing the money safely and in accordance to Illinois state law, and in the same way other county treasurers invest their county's money," Prenzler said. "A million dollars was not lost, that's not true."

Ikechi Anya scored the only goal of the game as Scotland beat the Czech Republic 1-0 in an international friendly on Thursday.
Scotland earned a morale-boosting 1-0 win over the Czech Republic as Gordon Strachan's men began their preparations for the upcoming World Cup qualifying campaign with a victory.
Ikechi Anya put Scotland into the lead after nine minutes in Prague on Thursday, racing on to a throughball from Ross McCormack before slotting a neat finish through the legs of debutant goalkeeper Tomas Koubek.
Allan McGregor made a string of saves to keep his side ahead and Borek Dockal saw his free-kick smash back off the crossbar shortly before Anya's opener.
Victory for Scotland - who saw their hopes of qualifying for Euro 2012 dashed thanks to a controversial late penalty in a 2-2 draw at Hampden Park in September 2011 the last time the sides faced each other - sets them up nicely for a home friendly against Denmark on Tuesday. The Czech Republic travel to Sweden looking for a response with Euro 2016 looming on the horizon.
Alan Hutton won his 50th cap for Scotland and Aberdeen midfielder Kenny McLean was given his debut, while the hosts were without stars Petr Cech and Tomas Rosicky through injury.
Following a minute's silence to mark the death of Johan Cruyff, Dockal struck the crossbar with a terrific free-kick after just seven minutes, McGregor recovering to claw out Tomas Sivok's rebound header.
The visitors took the lead when McCormack freed Anya, who fired a shot through the legs of goalkeeper Koubek in a carbon copy of his goal against Germany in Scotland's unsuccessful Euro 2016 qualifying campaign.
McGregor then tipped over a rising drive by Martin Frydek and the Scotland goalkeeper made further saves from Josef Sural and Tomas Necid as the home side cranked up the pressure.
Scotland went close to scoring a second goal just before half-time when Russell Martin sent a looping header over the crossbar from a Robert Snodgrass free-kick.
Strachan's side were threatening on the break and Anya created a chance for McLean after 53 minutes, but the debutant hesitated and dragged his shot wide of the post.
A superb flowing move from the visitors then saw substitute Matt Phillips have a header saved after another excellent Snodgrass delivery, before Martin's header drifted just wide.
Vladimir Darida pulled a shot wide and Snodgrass headed off target as the game started to be broken up by regular substitutions from both sides.
The Czech Republic topped their Euro 2016 qualifying group - finishing above Iceland, Turkey and the Netherlands - but they struggled to break down a determined Scotland outfit.
Scotland could have had a penalty when Hutton went down in the box after 72 minutes, before Czech striker Matej Vydra also had appeals for a spot-kick rejected.
Striker Tony Watt was handed a late debut for Scotland, whose lead was protected by McGregor's terrific full-length save from a ricochet in the box.

Editor's Desk: Kim Kardashian West's tempest in a bottle
A simulator to test med students' ability to detect violative prescription drug promotion was overheard going something like this:
Facilitator: Now that you've all reviewed the e-learning course, let's all turn to the ad where Kim Kardashian West holds up a bottle of Diclegis. Are there any claims or presentations that you find false or misleading?
Med student: You mean the post in which 42 million Instagram followers saw her endorsing the morning-sickness drug but which failed to provide any risk information or limits on use?
Facilitator: Ahem, yes (followed by various jeers from students).
The above teachable moment is fictitious, of course, but the facts are startlingly real. The Aug. 7 warning letter the FDA sent to Diclegis marketer Duchesnay for the reality star's now-notorious "If you have morning sickness, be safe and sure to ask your doctor about the pill with the pregnant woman on it" social post actually did come through as a complaint to the Bad Ad Program.
OPDP could hardly have found a stronger validation for the existence of this program and its accompanying CME/CE course.
For its part, the media has characterized the episode alternatively as an attempt at influencer marketing gone awry, maybe even a calculated gambit by Duchesnay to jumpstart online conversations about the brand.
If the latter scenario, then mission accomplished: The post generated about 466,000 likes before being taken down. But it came at a steep price, as the FDA wants the firm to issue corrective messaging using the same media and reaching the same audience.
Such messaging must not be limited to online forums where women were already discussing the brand, suggests the newsletter Klick Wire (which analyzed the post's impact), but in other social channels where the Kardashian controversy caused a spike.
Whether you view the episode as an isolated gaffe or an intentional lapse, it raises a speculative question: Diclegis is approved for morning sickness, but could Instagram, Twitter and Facebook see sponsored celebrity endorsements for off-label uses?
This question becomes relevant in that a judge recently upheld a drugmaker's claim on the "chilling of First Amendment rights" in the Amarin v. FDA case, paving the way for Amarin to convey truthful but off-label data to HCPs about its fish-oil-based cardiovascular drug.
More pointedly, does the FDA letter set out, as Modern Healthcare put it, a kind of "roadmap for acceptability" to tout off-label uses (that is, include the appropriate warning messages and you'll evade FDA action)?
Not likely. Klick Health's Ari Schaefer noted in a blog post prior to the warning letter that the fair balance in the celeb's ad was "minimal at best"—a mere un-clickable link to a site listing risks. It remains questionable whether a specific piece can be executed to shoehorn necessary information into a 140-character limit.
Beyond Twitter, marketers run the risk that sponsored posts will not have the necessary level of disclosures (as discussed in the Amarin decision) to avoid being misleading, adds regulatory expert Al Cacozza, the Ropes & Gray attorney.
All the same, Cacozza doesn't think pharma will use the agency's KKW rebuke as a guide for off-label chatter on social platforms. As he tells MM&M, "My guess is Amarin will have a more immediate impact on traditional promotional materials before there are changes in social-media promotion."

Caught beneath visions of hatred
Drowning fast in sounds of silence
Caught between divisions of hate
Can't breathe under this weight of existence
Too strong,
Too strong for you
Too strong,
Too strong for you

Q&A: Arizona's illegal immigration law at Supreme Court
The US Supreme Court will hear arguments on Wednesday about the constitutionality of the state of Arizona's strict anti-illegal immigration law.
The closely watched case could determine whether America's 50 states and countless other jurisdictions are free to enact their own harsh laws, or whether the framework of federal immigration laws - widely viewed as inadequate - remains the last word on the issue.
What does the law do?
In April 2010, the Republican-led Arizona legislature approved a measure known as the Support Our Law Enforcement and Safe Neighborhoods Act, or SB1070 for its designation number in the state senate.
State lawmakers said Arizona, which shares a 370-mile (595km) border with Mexico, unfairly bears the brunt of Washington's inaction on illegal immigration, forcing them to act.
The law's stated goal is "attrition through enforcement" of illegal aliens living in Arizona.
Among other provisions, the law requires Arizona police to verify the immigration status of people they have detained for another reason if officers have a "reasonable suspicion" the person is in the US illegally.
It gives Arizona police the power to arrest a person without a warrant if they have "probable cause" to believe the person has committed a deportable offence.
It makes it a state crime not to complete or carry an alien registration document - this was already a federal civil violation. And it makes it a misdemeanour crime for an undocumented immigrant to apply for a job, to solicit work in a public place, or to work in the state.
Opposition to the bill was vigorous and broad, both within and outside the state. Opponents, especially Hispanic groups, said it would lead to the racial profiling of Hispanics and the persecution of legal immigrants.
What is its current status?
The federal government challenged the law immediately, and a lower federal court halted enforcement of the relevant parts of the law.
The law made its way through the federal court system, and in December, the Supreme Court agreed to hear the case.
Five states - Alabama, Georgia, Indiana, South Carolina and Utah - have adopted variations on Arizona's law. Parts of those laws are also on hold pending the outcome of the Supreme Court case.
What is the basis of the federal government's argument?
The key word for the federal government's case is "pre-empt" - as in, federal law pre-empts the Arizona law.
The Obama administration argues immigration law and policy are the exclusive remit of the federal government. It says states are forbidden to set their own immigration policy.
It argues that since immigration policy involves foreign policy decisions, it is the federal government, not the states, that has legal and constitutional responsibility over the treatment of aliens on US soil.
The federal government says the US already has a robust statutory and legal framework in place for handling immigration, however lacking it may be in addressing illegal migrants.
With SB1070, the Obama administration argues, Arizona imposes its own judgement on the "sensitive subjects" of immigration policy, the treatment of illegal immigrants, and international relations.
"For each state, and each locality, to set its own immigration policy in that fashion would wholly subvert Congress's goal: a single, national approach," the administration wrote in its brief.
The administration argues that the Arizona law conflicts with federal immigration policy by criminalising an act (being in the US without documentation) that the federal government treats as a civil violation.
It also objects to the law giving county prosecutors authority to charge undocumented immigrants with a crime even though federal prosecutors may have elected not to charge them (perhaps because they are seeking witness co-operation or for other reasons).
And the administration says the law requires local police to enforce federal law without regard to Washington's enforcement priorities.
How did Arizona respond?
The state of Arizona contends its law neither creates a conflict with federal laws nor imposes a separate immigration policy, but merely adds state resources to the enforcement of federal rules.
In the state's brief , it argues the immigration law is no different from situations where both federal and state law enforce the same federal standard for damages in civil suits.
The state argues Congress has already provided legal mechanisms for co-operation between state and federal authorities on immigration enforcement, and that its law merely extends those.
And it says state and local law enforcement already have inherent authority to investigate and prosecute violations of federal law.
What's next?
The court will hear arguments beginning at 10am on Wednesday. Justice Elena Kagan, who worked for the Obama administration before she joined the court, will not be participating.
Arguing for the Obama administration is Solicitor General Donald Verrilli Jr, a former White House and justice department lawyer who has argued several cases before the Supreme Court.
Arguing for Arizona is Paul Clement, former solicitor general under President George W Bush.
Mr Clement is very well regarded in the Washington legal community and is highly experienced in Supreme Court arguments.
And he is the go-to man for American conservatives seeking a skilled advocate in the high court. Last month, he argued the Supreme Court should overturn President Barack Obama's signature healthcare law.
The two sides filed written briefs with the court this winter and spring. Whatever show of legal rhetoric and questioning comes on Wednesday, Supreme Court analysts say the Supreme Court justices often make up their minds ahead of time.
The court is not expected to issue its decision until the summer.

I have a dirty little secret to tell. I'm in the market for a small portable computer, and I'm not entirely sure it's going to be a Mac.
Before you get out the pitchforks, perhaps I can explain why. You see, I already have a notebook – one that's several years old, runs Windows, and is on its third battery because, as I've found, notebook batteries don't always last well if the systems are used most of the time when plugged into AC power.
While I the notebook was once primary desktop machine, that role is now occupied by my iMac; the notebook is only really used for doing word processing and recording the occasional conference speech using Audacity. I don't even keep documents on it anymore, since discovering the joys of automatic syncing via my 3G wireless service and Dropbox.
Given its marginal role in my daily activities, I'm not sure I can justify the cost of a MacBook or MacBook Pro when I have such specific and easily-met requirements. For occasional road warriors like me, battery life and good connectivity are more important than sheer speed and jaw-dropping graphics. My needs, I have come to realise, would be just as well met if I put the $200 I'll pay for a new battery towards a $500 netbook (or even a $350 one of the sort regularly sold through Catch of the Day and other sites).
And, since Apple has repeatedly declined to make one, well…
It's not just me. It's really not. In fact, this week we have two reports suggesting that while demand for Apple's MacBooks remains, it is actually – Heaven help us all – Windows shipments that are the bright spark in the PC market. Indeed, NPG Group tells us, compared with January 2008, sales of all Macs fell 6 percent during January 2009 – while Windows shipments were up 16 percent.
Blame netbooks, the recession and economies of manufacturing scale for this: increasing competition in the sub-$1000 space is proving to the market once and for all that good notebooks don't need four-figure price tags at all. I have field-tested several over the past year, and while I wouldn't be editing video on them, they do more than enough for most consumers.
Computer buying intention figures out today suggest gains by MacBooks are negated by a decline in intention to purchase iMacs – leading ChangeWave analyst Paul Carton to predict that Apple will "muddle through" the market turmoil.
Just how it might do that, will be quite interesting. Apple has repeatedly opted out of the netbook market – understandable given that it needs to keep higher-margin MacBooks moving – but it risks serious damage in the market if it can't make a convincing play in this space.
If you think I'm being histrionic, consider the recent decision by the Victorian Department of Education and Early Childhood to purchase 10,000 netbooks for Victorian students in a trial of one-to-one computing. The NSW Department of Education is in the midst of its own netbook tender, looking ready to spend more than $200 million on systems for its 200,000 students.
This sort of thing just isn't economically possible with notebooks costing $2000 and up, but when a netbook can be had for $500 – the top allowable price in the NSW program – it suddenly opens significant new possibilities.
And Apple, which has long had a strong following in the education sector, will see none of them. I'm sure an Apple device would be a contender in a tender like that, but Apple's resistance to netbooks has forced it to cede a major market opportunity.
More worrying, Apple has lost a major opportunity to influence the computing habits of 10,000 (and potentially more) Victorian and 200,000 NSW school children, who will grow up to be computer-using university students, and then computer-buying adults.
Were they becoming familiar with a Mac OS X-driven netbook, those children would likely be lifelong Apple customers. However, since they will be educated on Windows, Apple will for years face the same challenge it faces now: convincing long-term Windows users to switch to the Mac. Macs, for all their merits, will remain a niche choice for alternative-minded thinkers.
There's nothing more disruptive than having your whole business model thrown off by an unexpected dark horse, but that's exactly what Apple now faces as rapidly shifting computer buying patterns threaten its established product hierarchy. I expect more disruption this year in the form of bundled 3G-and-netbook offerings like the one Vodafone recently launched: these compelling combinations come with 24-month contracts that will lock customers out of any netbook Apple might launch before 2011.
Keeping its head in the sand will do nothing to help Apple counter this threat, which most definitely promises to undo many of the market gains Apple has justly made over the past few years. If Apple wants to remain relevant in an era of cost-conscious computer buying, it will figure out an answer to the netbooks question – and fast – as well as reviving its low-cost Mac mini.
Apple has a long history of building its product as and how it wants, but these are extraordinary times. Rapidly shifting buying patterns seem poised to force Apple's hand in a most uncharacteristic way. I want to buy Mac — I really, really do — but given the availability of other options, it's hard to justify the extra $1000 or more for a MacBook. I can wait a bit longer (at least until my battery stops charging altogether); however, continued silence from Cupertino may well drive me – and millions of other computer buyers – into the arms of Microsoft.

Love Poppies
Settling nicely into new none routines, and all sorts of ideas are re-surfacing or introducing themselves. Poppies are a recurring love of mine this is the time of year when they are in bloom and I love the sight of wild ones growing in un-expected places.
This tag uses a TCW stencil a new acquisition and an old un-marked stamp that I treasure. the background was coloured with Adirondack and Inkylicious dusters and blending sponge. Then the main images stamped in brown Memento and coloured with Chameleon pens.
I created this just for fun but there are one or two challenges who might enjoy it.

SOURCE: Radient Pharmaceuticals Corporation
January 25, 2011 08:55 ET
TUSTIN, CA--(Marketwire - January 25, 2011) - Radient Pharmaceuticals Corporation (RPC) (NYSE Amex: RPC) announced today, its wholly-owned subsidiary NuVax Therapeutics, Inc., ("NuVax"), has signed an exclusive license agreement with the University of Florida College of Medicine in Gainesville, Florida for the use and commercialization of four innovative and patented immune-gene therapy tools and systems developed by Dr. Lung-Ji Chang, Professor of Molecular Genetics and Microbiology at University of Florida's Research Center.
NuVax is a clinical stage pharmaceutical company developing novel immune-gene therapeutics that have the potential to significantly impact and extend the quality of life for cancer patients. Under the terms of today's agreement, NuVax plans to leverage the four newly licensed tools and systems for selective targeting of patient tumor cells to invoke a stronger immune response in cancer patients. The new tools and systems are anticipated to allow NuVax to develop three separate cancer therapeutics for the treatment of Multi Myeloma, Pancreatic Cancer and Lung Cancer. Financial terms of the licensing agreement are not disclosed.
Dr. Lung-Ji Chang also developed the Combined Immunogene Therapy ("CIT") -- a patented (patent issued May 25, 2004) cancer therapy owned by NuVax. CIT is a novel immune-gene therapy that works by simultaneously incorporating two genes directly into the patient's tumor cells to enhance their immune system's natural ability to destroy other cancer cells. CIT targets cancer cells for immunological attack, while simultaneously stimulating a stronger immune response against the tumor cells. Dr. Chang serves as an advisor to NuVax for the continued development of CIT and other gene therapies. NuVax has full rights to CIT.
According to RPC Chairman and CEO Mr. Douglas MacLellan, "We are very excited that NuVax has negotiated and signed these exclusive licensing agreements, which further strengthen our relationship with Dr. Lung-Ji Chang and the University of Florida research team. We believe they are among the top leaders in the research and development of cancer therapies and technologies and are pleased to advance our strategic relationship with the team. We plan to leverage our experience and expertise in product development, manufacturing, regulatory approvals, and sales and marketing to fully commercialize these new therapies and technologies as rapidly as possible."
"These licensing agreements are part of NuVax's strategic initiative to expand its presence in the lucrative cancer therapy market which is estimated to be $50 billion worldwide," commented NuVax President and CEO Dr. Umesh Bhatia. "The addition of these advanced, innovative tools and systems licensed today, in addition to our current CIT technology, provides both RPC and NuVax with a highly competitive market position and we remain focused on advancing and commercializing our growing product portfolio."

Our sixth-annual data breach survey, which polled IT security pros in the U.S. as well as those working in the U.K. and Australia, yielded interesting insights on how organizations are dealing with today's data security threats. And, while the majority of pros are optimistic about the steps they're taking to safeguard critical data from getting lost or stolen, many still cite plenty of challenges with which they must contend. We examine some of the more intriguing results of the survey and hear from Stephen Fridakis, chief information security officer of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, on what he interprets from the feedback. Fridakis will share various measures he and his peers intend to implement in order to keep data out of the wrong hands.
