Vice-President Bush is not predicting a thaw in US-Soviet relations. But, because Soviet leader Yuri Andropov may be especially well informed about the US , Mr. Bush believes an improvement of ties may be possi-ble.
In a 40-minute, year-end Monitor interview in his White House office, Mr. Bush had this to say:
Q: You've just been to Moscow for Brezhnev's funeral. How do you read the mood there?
A: They've said publicly and they've said to us that they have a desire to have improved relations. They treated us very well and, in a protocol sense, outstandingly. They accorded us courtesies far above the rank of vice-president.
My view on Andropov is that some people make this KGB thing sound horrendous. Maybe I speak defensively as a former head of the CIA. But leave out the operational side of KGB - the naughty things they allegedly do: Here's a man who has had access to a tremendous amount of intelligence over the years.
In my judgment he would be much less apt to misread the intentions of the United States. And you know and I know and the Democrats and the Republicans in the US would just not go out and make war on the Soviet Union. And that is something which I think a political boss out of a Vladivostok or a Leningrad might be less apt to know than a man who ran the intelligence organization.
That offers potential. And the other side of that is he's tough. And he appears to have solidified his leadership position in a very short period of time - although it is too early to say how long that will last. That's their internal affair. And I wouldn't speculate publicly on it.
Except to say that it was very clear that he was very much in charge. So there is reason to be hopeful on the basis of this. You've got to be hopeful.
Q: The leaders were hospitable then?
A: Oh, yes. Every diplomat saw this, but I haven't seen it written. But we were halfway up the steps, and the Soviet protocol fellow came and pulled us out (Shultz and me) and put us ahead of all these chiefs of state, royal highnesses, and excellencies, and plenipotentiaries and shoved us right up to the head of the line.
But it was very noticeable to everybody. It was under TV and they could see Shultz and me walking past everybody. But this was just one manifestation of this hospitality. And we spent a total of 40 minutes with Andropov, which was a lot of time.
Q: What is the President's position on nuclear arms?
A: This President really wants a reduction in arms. Most people don't know that. Because you've got that freeze thing out there. And people out there say, ''If you really want an absolute reduction in arms, you go for the freeze.'' And those of us who aren't for the freeze are automatically categorized as not for a reduction in arms. It's an argument I take great offense with, incidentally.
I find it intellectually offensive to suggest that, given the history of the ABM treaty and everything else. So there is this whole kind of feeling out there. And those of us who know the President's position so well probably haven't been as articulate as we might have been in trying to make people understand that this President is absolutely convinced that we must achieve a reduction, a real demonstrable, visible, verifiable reduction in nuclear weapons.
Q: Why isn't this perceived?
A: Well, if it weren't accompanied with the President's requirement that there be a strengthening of the United States defense, it would be. But it's the last caveat that causes people to say that ''It's a ruse; he doesn't really feel that way''
I don't question people's integrity in this. They just don't know how strongly the President feels about all this. And I do. I see him, talk to him - with people and alone.
Q: Does (Andropov's) own organization dabble in the gathering of accurate information that would enable him to have accurate knowledge about the Soviet weaknesses?
A: All I would guess, based on my understanding of the intelligence apparatus , is that the person who had exposure to that would be more apt to have the objective data than one who dealt all his life with the propaganda machinery or with the party network. Not that Andropov isn't part of the party.
Q: But does he have access to the information necessary to get at the real facts about Russia?
A: I think he has access. But given his party standing and what we know of him: I don't want to make the case that he doesn't have convictions that are quite contrary to what we think the objective data should give him. He's no softy - or anything like that.
We're still dealing with a totalitarian system - where you don't know what's happening all of the time.
Q: Is this administration concerned that tensions between the Chinese and the Soviets may be easing?
A: So what if there is a reduction of tensions on the Soviet-Chinese border. I don't think that is necessarily detrimental to the interests of the United States. Now if you say to me that the Soviets are going to take 20 divisions off the Chinese border and put them into Europe, then we would say, ''Hey, that wouldn't be very good,'' That would be desta-bilizing.
But just to have reductions in tensions between them: I don't think that should make us feel all up-tight. Just as if we reduce tensions with China that that should drive the Soviets up the wall.
Q: Finally, your assessment of this administration at mid-term?
A: My assessment is this: Unemployment is too high. Interest rates are much better. Inflation is much better. Deficits are outrageous. We have to do something in a bipartisan fashion to get those down.
But the President turned a lot of things around. The credibility of the US is much better.

It's not just Symantec that wants to call foul on Microsoft; McAfee got in on the action today with a full-page ad in the print edition of the Financial Times. The ad accuses Microsoft of engaging in dangerous practices that are creating 'inherent weaknesses' in Windows Vista. And by 'inherent weaknesses', McAfee means limitations on what their own products can do.

ClamWin is actually really good. It's usually the first one to recognize new viruses, worms and trojans.
It doesn't know so many of the viruses from the 80'es and the early 90'es, but they are however irrelevant.
ClamWin (based on ClamAV) is usually a better choice than Kapersky.
ClamWin do not have on-access scanning, but that is irrelevant. On-access scanning tend to not work anyway.

Noodles are delicious comfort food to guard against winter's chills.
On frosty winter evenings, it is tempting to cook hearty rich meals. I love slow-cooked meaty dishes but if you eat them too often you can be left feeling sluggish and craving a lighter alternative. Cooking noodles is a good solution.
First choose which type of noodle you prefer from the options available from Asian stores and supermarkets. Then choose your favourite core ingredients - chicken, fish, beef or tofu. Now you can consider the spices and herbs - chilli, ginger, garlic, lemongrass and coriander all provide invigorating, warming flavours.
Chillies comes in many forms, either fresh or dried, red, green yellow or purple, small and hot or larger and mild.
The membranes attached to the seeds provide most of the heat, so, if you wish, remove them by scraping away with the point of a sharp knife. Some people believe that endorphins are released after eating chillies, providing a sense of pleasure, but whether that's true or not, the flavour and heat contribute to a delicious dish to ward off the winter chills. Ginger and garlic are renowned for their anti-oxidant qualities.
Eating plenty of ginger may ward off colds.
Make sure you ginger looks fresh and feels crisp in order to gain as many of the health benefits as possible. If it's pliable, don't buy it!
Incorporating garlic into these dishes fights disease and can contribute to reducing high blood pressure. When choosing garlic, make sure the head is firm and there are no cloves that feel soft or show signs of mould. Don't keep garlic in the fridge where it may become mouldy; a dry spot in the kitchen is much better.
Try to use fresh lemongrass which is very easy to grow in a pot. The preserved option in a jar has a strong flavour of vinegar and the flavour is not the same.
Noodles are quick to cook.
As soon as they are ready, and all the delicious ingredients are ladled over, gently combine then spoon into a large warm bowl and curl up on the sofa to enjoy a healthy mid-winter meal.
Chef's tip
Many varieties of fresh noodles are now available. Whether using fresh or dried, follow the cooking instructions on the packet but remember to allow less time when cooking fresh noodles.
Here are three recipes to try:
* Soba noodles, ginger and garlic broth, chicken and coriander
* Stir-fried hokkien noodles with chilli prawns and lemongrass
* Rice noodles, shitake, fried tofu, sesame and soy

The upmarket neighbourhood of Kemang is great for walking, not just for photography, but to explore shops, cafes and restaurants. And to think there's not a single functional sidewalk anywhere in the neighbourhood! Still, armed with cameras, the scenery changes drastically.
Half a dozen photo walks later, I found that the heart of Kemang also lies, just like elsewhere in Jakarta, in its kampungs, with energetic kids, loads of colour and plenty of quirky sights.

Warner Bros. has finally released the official trailer for Justice League, after teasing fans with a series of short character videos. Alongside The White Stripes' randition of The Beatles' Come Together, the trailer sees footage of the DC cinematic universe characters unite for a battle of epic proportions – well almost all of the characters.
In the trailer, Ben Affleck's Bruce Wayne warns Wonder Woman that danger is afoot.
"We have to be ready. You, me, the others. There's an attack coming from far away," says Wayne.
"Not coming Bruce, it's already here," say's Diana Prince.
Directed by Zack Synder, who was responsible for helming Man of Steel and Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, Justice League has been widely regarded as DCs answer to Marvel's Avengers.
The film stars Jason Momoa as Aquaman, Ezra Miller as The Flash, Ray Fisher as Cyborg, Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman, and Ben Affleck as Batman.
Justice League hits theatres on November 17th, 2017.
Fueled by his restored faith in humanity and inspired by Superman's selfless act, Bruce Wayne enlists the help of his newfound ally, Diana Prince, to face an even greater enemy. Together, Batman and Wonder Woman work quickly to find and recruit a team of metahumans to stand against this newly awakened threat. But despite the formation of this unprecedented league of heroes-Batman, Wonder Woman, Aquaman, Cyborg and The Flash-it may already be too late to save the planet from an assault of catastrophic proportions.

German Chamomile Summary:
The common name chamomile, can suggest 2 separate species, German chamomile (Matricaria chamomila) or Roman chamomile (Chamaemelum nobile). These 2 species may be used similarly, and they even look quite similar. Their chemistry, however, is very different. German chamomile is the preferred species for conditions involving inflammation, arthritis, and digestive complaints.
The flower of this herb is used, and the essential oil can be extracted and used in cosmetic applications successfully, or the flowers can simply be made into a tincture or tea.
The flowers are useful for digestive disorders of all kinds, and are gentle enough to use on children. In fact, the essential oil is commonly used to alleviate the pain associated with teething in children.
Other uses includes the mild sedative and anxiolytic effects. They are a great addition to nightly tea to help fall asleep quicker, and enter a more restful, deeper sleep.

Common Names:
Blue Chamomile
Matricaria reutita
Hungarian Chamomile
Scented Mayweed
Traditional Uses:
+ Western Herbal Medicine
Traditionally, Matricaria chamomilla has been used to treat the common cold, bronchitis, gastrointestinal spasms, epilepsy, hypertension, neuralgia, toothache, dysmenorrhea, eczema, impetigo, indigestion, colic, rheumatism, flatulence, diarrhoea, and other digestive disturbances [5, 9]. Externally the flower heads were used to treat skin disorders [9].
Its use was referred to by individuals such as Hippocrates, Galen, and Asclepius and the entire plant including its arial parts, flowers, roots, and volatile oil have all been used medicinally [5]. In modern times, the flowers and volatile oils are generally preferred.
Today, the herb is generally consumed as a tea internally, and its essential oil is mainly used in cosmetics [9].
+ Traditional Chinese Medicine
In TCM, German chamomile is considered to promote the free flow of Qi. This explains the ability for German chamomile to relax the nerves, relieve spasms, and reduce or ease general pain [9].
Botanical Description
German chamomile is an low growing annual herb, with feathery leaves, and small daisy-like flowers growing on a single stem [9].
Habitat Ecology, and Distribution
German chamomile is native to central and northern Europe [9].
It is cultivated on a large scale in Hungary, Yugoslavia, Bulgaria, Russia, Germany, Belgium, and Spain [9].
Harvesting Collection, and Preparation
The essential oil of german chamomile is obtained by steam distilling the dried flower heads. This essential oil is contained in the highest amounts in the flowers during the beginning of flowering [9].
Drying the flowers at 40-45C is suggested to preserve the matricarin the most, and as such will result in the highest quality essential oil [9].
[1, 8, 13]
Constituent List:
- Flavonoids
- Sesquiterpene lactones
- Mucilage
- Choline
- Tannins
- Polysaccharides
- Fatty acids
- Phenolic acids
- Coumarins
- Flavone glycosides (~8%)
- Essential oil (Percentages of essential oil content) [1]
- trans-beta-Farnesene (6.95%)
- (z,z)-alpha-Farnesene (1%)
- Germacrene B (0.25%)
- beta-Pinene (0.22%)
- 1,3,8-para-Menthatriene (0.27%)
- alpha-Bisabolol oxide B (51.43%) (Major constituent)
- alpha-Bisabolol (4.14%)
- Chamazulene/azulene (17.69%) (Major constituent)
- Limonene (3.3%)
- En-in-dicycloether (10.84%)
- Butanedioyldihydrazide (1.39%)
- alpha-(1-Naphthyl)ethylamine (0.5%)
- Hexadecane (0.23%)
- Dotriacontane (0.75%)
The essential oil of chamomile comes in 4 main chemotypes deoending on where it has grown [9]:
Type A:
- Alpha bisabolol oxide B (highest)
- Alpha bisabalol oxide A (second)
- Alpha bisabalol (lowest)
Type B:
- Alpha bisabalol oxide A (highest)
- Alpha bisabolol oxide B (second)
- Alpha bisabalol (lowest)
Type C:
- Alpha bisabalol (highest)
- Alpha bisabolol oxide B (second)
- Alpha bisabalol oxide A (lowest)
Type D:
- Alpha bisabolol oxide B (equal portion)
- Alpha bisabalol oxide A (equal portion)
- Alpha bisabalol (equal portion)
Pharmacology and Medical Research:
+ Antimicrobial
Matricaria chamomilla has been shown to exhibit both antibacterial, and anti fungal actions in the past, however one recent study [1] found that it had very little antimicrobial action. They suggested that this was due to the low alpha-Bisabolol content in the essential oil (4.14%) as compared to other studies which have noted a significant antimicrobial (especially anti fungal) action which used samples with high alpha-bisabolol content (56.86%) [2].
This leads to the suggestion that this chemical (alpha-Biasabolol) may be the significant antimicrobial constituent of Matricaria chamomilla, which appears to vary greatly depending on either location it was grown, time of the year it was picked, or a combination of both.
+ Diarrhea
Matricaria chamomilla was found to possess antidiarrheal actions in mice, and was determined to be through K+ channel activation as well as through a weak Ca++ channel antagonism [5]. This mechanism of action on reducing spasmodic activity of the gut may provide evidence for its ability to treat other hyperactive disorders of the GIT such as colic as well.
+ Inflammation
Pharmacological investigations have determined anti-inflammatory effects in Matricaria chamomila [6]. The essential oil specifically has also been shown to produce antinflammatory actions when applied topically as well [10, 11].
It is generally accepted that the majority of the anti-inflammatory actions of German chamomile is due to the blue coloured constituent chamazulene. This chemical is formed during heat distillation from the chemical matricarin [9]. Another important anti-inflamatory constituent of German chamomile is alpha-bisabalol, especially for arthritis inflammation [12].
+ Antispasmodic
German chamomile was found to possess antispasmodic actions, mediated through K+ channel activation, and weak Ca++ antagonist effects [5]. This study has been supported by other pharmacological investigations of a similar species M. recutata as well [7].
+ Insomnia
Apigenin, contained in German chamomile, as well as other herbs from the Asteraceae family, have been found to possess anxiolytic actions in lab studies [3]. This flavonoid acts via the GABA receptor modulation, which is a common mechanism for many hypnotics as well [4].
Avoid using German chamomile with known allergies to Asteraceae family [13]
German chamomile can reduce the absorption of iron (polyphenol content), therefore do not take with iron supplements. [13]
Possible synergy with lemon balm, liquorice, fennel, and vervain for infant colic.

Business Matters
Total People in Discussion: 4
Categories: Current Affairs, Television
In case you've never seen the show, I can tell you that host Tony Ianelli keeps things very lively, and people tend to shout at each other. We mostly avoided that, but there were some pretty stark disagreements.
The other panelists were Tammy Lerner, co-founder of the group Foundation to Abolish Child Sex Abuse and a child sex abuse survivor herself; Chance Koons, founder of the Support Joe Paterno Facebook group; and William Levinson of Penn Staters for Responsible Stewardship and a Penn State alumnus. Law professor Marci Hamilton, whom I have quoted in previous blog posts, appeared briefly by phone.
Basically, Koons and Levinson both think the Penn State trustees panicked by forcing Joe Paterno out and that he did nothing wrong. Lerner and I vehemently disagreed, arguing that while he fulfilled his minimum legal obligations by passing the abuse report on to his next-in-command, he failed a child at risk by worrying more about Penn State football's image than the welfare of the young boy whom Jerry Sandusky allegedly raped in the team's shower.
Hamilton and Lerner also urged people to get behind stronger sex abuse reporting requirements and state legislation that would extend statutes of limitation so more victims have the opportunity to name and confront their abusers. You can read more about the latter in some of my previous blog posts. In retrospect, I should have used my last word to urge people to call their legislators in support of these strengthened laws.
Naturally, I think we were right and the Penn State apologists were tremendously misguided, but you can judge for yourselves when the show airs on Channel 69 at 8 p.m. Monday, Dec. 19.

Setting aside your personal opinion about Joe Paterno, you need to recognize that the Board of Trustees violated the law when firing him during their "emergency meeting". The Sunshine Law requires such a meeting to be publically announced 24 hours prior (even an emergency), which was not done. Also, Joe Paterno's right were violated because the Board was required to allow him to be present at this meeting to state his position and defend himself. He was not invited to the meeting and was fired via a telephone call. Finally, the Board treated him far more harshly than Spanier, Curley, Schultz, and McQueary who were all far more culpable than Paterno (who's only knowledge of the incident would be considered heresay in court), and when you treat employees differently, I believe that's considered discrimination. I'm not going to try to change your mind about your feelings about Joe Paterno--you have a right to think what you want. But the Board was legally wrong in firing him that night. Joe Paterno should sue the University for violating his rights, however he loves Penn State so much and gave so much of himself to the place that I'm sure he won't do that. This is the United States of America--a country founded on the rule of law. Just because you or the BoT don't like Joe Paterno's lack of action does not excuse ignoring his rights or the laws of the Commonwealth. It's quite clear that Joe Paterno should not have been fired at that time. The BoT should have collected their information, followed the Sunshine Act requirements, allowed Joe the right to defend himself, and then acted. The lynch mob mentality has to stop. Decisions need to be based on carefully examined FACTS and not knee-jerk reactions to media-fueled emotional opinions. Our founding fathers recognized this when they wrote the constitution--they must be rolling in their graves.

Luke Evans cast in The Crow. The casting of Luke Evans in The Crow answers the question of who will star in the remake directed by F. Javier Gutierrez. Luke Evans will be playing the main character Eric Draven / The Crow, a man brutally murdered that comes "back to life as an undead avenger of his and his fiancée's murder."
On Luke Evans:
Evans got his first film audition aged thirty. In 2009, he landed his first film, playing the Greek god Apollo in the 2010 remake Clash of the Titans. Also in 2010, he appeared as Clive in the film Sex & Drugs & Rock & Roll, directed by Matt Whitecross, as the Sheriff of Nottingham's thug in Robin Hood, alongside Matthew Macfadyen (whom he would later play alongside again in The Three Musketeers), and played handyman and good guy Andy, in director Stephen Frears' film Tamara Drewe, based on Posy Simmond's comic strip. Evans went on to portray DI Craig Stokes in Blitz (2011), the film adaptation of Ken Bruen's novel of the same name, in which he starred with Jason Statham and Paddy Considine. In early 2010, he shot the independent movie, Flutter, directed by Giles Borg.
Evans played the Musketeer Aramis in Paul W. S. Anderson's version of The Three Musketeers (filmed in 2010 and released in 2011). He was cast in a lead role in Tarsem Singh's Greek epic, Immortals (2011), in which he played the King of the Gods, Zeus. And at the end of 2010, he took a role opposite John Cusack in James McTeigue's film The Raven, replacing Jeremy Renner. In the film, released in 2012 and set in mid-19th century Baltimore, Evans played Detective Emmett Fields, who investigates a series of murders alongside Cusack's Edgar Allan Poe.[7] Shooting took place in Budapest and Serbia in November 2010.
In 2011, he shot No One Lives, a psychological horror film directed by Ryuhei Kitamara, in New Orleans, and began filming a role in Peter Jackson's upcoming three-part adaptation of J.R.R. Tolkien's The Hobbit playing the role of Bard the Bowman.
The plot of James O'Barr's The Crow comic book (spoilers):
The story revolves around an unfortunate young man named Eric. He and his fiancée, Shelly, are assaulted by a gang of street thugs after their car breaks down. Eric is shot in the head and is paralyzed, and can only watch as Shelly is savagely beaten and raped. They are then left for dead on the side of the road.
He is resurrected by a crow and seeks vengeance on the murderers, methodically stalking and killing them. When not on the hunt, Eric stays in the house he shared with Shelly, spending most of his time there lost in memories of her. Her absence is torture for him; he is in emotional pain, even engaging in self-mutilation by cutting himself.
The crow acts as both guide and goad for Eric, giving him information that helps him in his quest but also chastising him for dwelling on Shelly's death, seeing his pining as useless self-indulgence that distracts him from his purpose.
The plot of the 1994 film The Crow (spoilers):
On October 30, Devil's Night in Detroit, Sergeant Albrecht (Ernie Hudson) is at the scene of a crime, where Shelly Webster (Sofia Shinas) has been beaten and violated, and her fiancé, guitarist Eric Draven (Brandon Lee), has been stabbed, shot, and thrown out of the window. The couple were to be married the next day, on Halloween. As he leaves for the hospital with Shelly, Albrecht meets a young girl, Sarah (Rochelle Davis), whom Shelly and Eric took care of because her mother Darla (Anna Levine) is a negligent drug addict. Albrecht tells her that Shelly will be okay, but Sarah knows the truth: Shelly is going to die.
Exactly one year later, Sarah visits Eric's grave, and a crow taps on Eric's headstone. Later that night, Eric awakens from death and climbs frantically out of his grave, trembling and wracked with convulsions. Eric goes to his old apartment and finds it derelict. He has flashbacks of his death, remembering that he and Shelly were murdered by local thugs T-Bird (David Patrick Kelly), Tin-Tin (Laurence Mason), Funboy (Michael Massee), and Skank (Angel David). Eric soon discovers that any wounds he suffers heal immediately, and that he, being dead, is now immune to physical harm. He then replaces his burial clothes with dark, imposing attire, and paints his face in a parody of a porcelain harlequin mask, decorating his lips and eyes with black, scar-like slashes. Guided by the crow, he sets out to avenge his and Shelly's deaths.
I can't believe they are going to try to remake a sublime piece of cinema like The Crow. How can they even come close to the music, tone, atmosphere, action, and degradation present in that film? That formula can not be recreated because the same variables are not present e.g. the grunge rock present in the 1994 soundtrack was actually a character in the film and was featured frequently. Grunge rock died years ago. This The Crow will be a reinvention. I do not know about you but I am satisfied and will keep the original.

First of all, where are you when you click on "new file"? Are you talking about in Windows Explorer or are you within an application?
In Windows Explorer, you should be able to right-click within a folder and a popup menu will appear and 1 of the choices of that menu will be "New". If you move the mouse pointer over "New" then another list should popup showing you what items you can create new such as folder, library, text file, Microsoft Word document, etc... Once you select what you want to create new, then you should see an entry for it and be able to enter a name for the item.
If you are not able to do what I described above then I would suggest you open a command prompt and run the command "sfc /scannow" (no quotes). This will scan your system for missing/corrupted system files and attempt to fix.
If you are within an application other than Windows Explorer, we need to know which application to be able to help you further.

Cancer Prevention & Control
Cancer Prevention and Control (CPC) researchers are engaged in innovative and collaborative research with the potential to decrease cancer morbidity and mortality. CPC researchers are also involved in prevention and early detection of cancer through cancer risk reduction and screening as well as preventing and reducing debilitating symptoms caused by cancer treatment while tailoring interventions to individuals. The program's themes focus on two crucial challenges across the cancer continuum: 1.) preventing the occurrence of cancer and detecting it early whenever possible by increasing the effectiveness and adherence to cancer screening; and 2.) identifying mechanisms of treatment-related toxicities (neuropathy and cognitive dysfunction) and developing interventions to improve the quality of cancer care, including supportive care, and reducing symptom burden from cancer therapies.
Scientific goals: The scientific goals of the program are advanced by focused work in two themes:
Theme 1: Prevention and early detection
Risk factors: Identify cancer risk factors, including genetic susceptibility and molecular subtypes of cancer.
Mechanisms: Create and translate risk models for cancer that enable clinicians and patients to make informed and shared screening decisions.
Interventions: Test cost-effective ways to translate efficacious interventions for cancer risk reduction, screening and follow-up.
Theme 2: Survivorship and supportive care
Risk factors: Identify genetic susceptibility and biomarkers of treatment-related toxicities.
Mechanisms: Identify mechanisms, prevention and treatment of chemotherapy-induced cognitive dysfunction and peripheral neurotoxicity.
Interventions: Test interventions to improve quality of cancer care, including supportive care and reduce symptoms among survivors.

Editor: Mr. Reilly, would you tell our readers something about your professional background?
Reilly: I graduated from Seton Hall Law School in 1987. During law school, I joined the summer associate program of Kraft & Hughes, the predecessor to my current firm, St. John & Wayne, and have been with St. John & Wayne ever since. I received my LL.M in taxation from New York University in 1992. Over the last 10 years of my career, my practice has evolved from one focused primarily on corporate securities and merger & acquisition transactions to a blend of corporate, pharmaceuticals and life sciences.
Editor: What attracted you to St. John & Wayne?
Reilly: St. John & Wayne always fostered a culture that encouraged entrepreneurial activity. Even as a young associate, I was encouraged by the partners to develop a client base and to use the firm's resources to build my practice. In addition, the firm places significant emphasis on understanding our clients' business. This allows us to provide not only excellent legal services, but also allows us to help clients navigate the numerous business issues that must be addressed as part of the complex commercial transactions for which clients seek our assistance.
Editor: What changes have you seen over the recent past in your Pharmaceuticals and Life Sciences Practice?
Reilly: Our Pharmaceuticals and Life Sciences Practice has seen a marked increase in partnering transactions, consistent with the recent evolution of these transactions in the pharmaceutical industry in general. Years ago, large multinational companies and their regional counterparts relied solely upon internal development efforts to fill their product pipelines and get products to market. The increasing pressure on such companies from investors to bolster their product pipelines, as well as the low rate of success in developing and obtaining regulatory approval for pharmaceutical products, has resulted in such companies looking to third-party sources for product innovation and development. Multi-national pharmaceutical companies and their smaller regional counterparts now partner with one another as well as with small brand pharma and biotech companies, and even with generic pharma companies, to identify, develop, obtain regulatory approval and market pharmaceutical products. Such partnering transactions take a variety of forms, including, among others, co-development agreements, licensing agreements and joint venture agreements.
Editor: How has your firm been involved in partnering transactions between brand and generic pharmaceutical companies?
Reilly: Branded companies have come to recognize that there are a select group of generic companies that have used their generic drug business to build capabilities in new drug discovery and/or drug delivery technologies. We have assisted a number of our domestic and overseas clients in negotiations with large multinational brand companies involving a variety of co-development transactions and license transactions for new chemical entities as well as new drug delivery technologies.
Editor: Would you provide us with a summary overview of the generic drug approval process and how the patents covering brand products influence the approval and marketing of generic counterparts?
Reilly: Prior to the Drug Price Competition and Patent Term Restoration Act of 1984 (commonly known as the "Hatch-Waxman Act") all drug manufacturers had to conduct clinical studies to determine whether a pharmaceutical product was safe and effective. The Hatch-Waxman Act provided for the acceleration of the entry of generic pharmaceutical products by creating the abbreviated new drug application ("ANDA") process. Provided that a drug manufacturer could show that a generic product was bioequivalent to the brand product (for which brand product a new drug application ("NDA") containing clinical studies was previously filed and approved by the FDA), FDA approval of such generic products could be obtained under the ANDA process without the need to conduct separate clinical studies. When filed with the FDA, the ANDA for a proposed generic product must contain a certification under 21 U.S.C. §355(j)(2) (A)(vii)(I)-(IV). If the brand drug to which the generic product relates is subject to patent protection at the time of the filing of the ANDA with the FDA, the generic manufacture will include a Paragraph III certification (that the generic drug will not go to market until the date of expiration of such patent), or a Paragraph IV certification (that the patent is not infringed or is invalid). The inclusion of a Paragraph IV certification triggers important procedural consequences and is at the heart of the patent infringement lawsuits between brand and generic pharmaceutical companies. Following the filing of an ANDA with a Paragraph IV certification, the applicant must notify the holder of the patent covering the brand product. The patent holder has 45 days from the receipt of such notice to file suit against the ANDA filer for patent infringement. If suit is filed, the approval of the ANDA by the FDA is stayed for a period of thirty (30) months (or such shorter period in the event the patent expires or is determined to be invalid). During the thirty (30) month stay, the ANDA applicant is prevented from selling the generic product and the patent holder can seek to enforce its patent rights in the appropriate court.
Even in the face of the litigation risks surrounding a Paragraph IV certification, generic companies expend significant resources in an effort to be the first to file an ANDA containing a Paragraph IV certification. With first-to-file status comes a 180-day marketing exclusivity (from the date of approval of the ANDA), during which the FDA may not approve another ANDA for such generic product. During this period, the first-to-file generic company can reap huge profits on the sale of the generic drug (which is typically sold at a price ranging from 70%-80% of the brand product price) before other generic equivalents enter the market following the expiration of the 180-day exclusivity period.
Editor: How has the response of brand companies changed over the past few years in response to ANDA filings containing a Paragraph IV certification?
Reilly: Brand companies have employed a variety of practices to maintain market share for their brand products. Recognizing that generic companies must certify as part of their Paragraph IV certification that the proposed generic drug does not infringe any patent listed by the brand company in the FDA's Orange Book (the FDA's official register of approved pharmaceutical products), some brand companies added multiple (and often meritless) patents to the Orange Book. This practice was done largely to require the generic company to file Paragraph IV certifications for such additional patents and thereby provide for multiple 30-month stays. In response to this conduct, new regulations adopted by the FDA, effective August 19, 2003, limit drug companies to only one 30-month stay and require patent holders to have the patents listed in the FDA's Orange Book prior to the ANDA filing.
In addition, some brand companies have elected not to file suit against a generic company seeking ANDA approval to market a generic equivalent of a brand product within the 45-day period provided under the Hatch-Waxman Act. While this strategy will allow a generic company to receive FDA approval of an ANDA for the generic product without the restriction of the 30-month stay, in the absence of infringement litigation commenced by the brand company, the generic company will not have the benefit of a district court decision as to whether the generic product infringes the brand company's patent or whether such patent is invalid. In this case, the generic company must assess whether to launch its generic product "at risk" without having the findings of the district court to consider as part of its product launch analysis. Following the launch of the generic product, the brand company will then file suit for infringement, including claims for injunctive relief to stop the further sale of the generic product and treble damages for lost profits.
Another practice employed by brand companies in response to the filing of a Paragraph IV certification by a generic company is the marketing and sale of their own "in-house generic" or contracting with a third-party generic company for the marketing and sale of an "authorized generic."
Editor: How do "in-house generics" and "authorized generics" differ from standard ANDA generic products?
Reilly: In-house generics and authorized generics are essentially identical to the standard ANDA generic product, except with the respect to the party that is marketing and selling the product. In essence, an authorized generic product is one that originally received FDA approval pursuant to the filing of a NDA, and is now relabeled and marketed under its generic product name. In such case, the brand company licenses to a generic company the patents and regulatory approvals for the marketing and sale of the generic counterpart to the brand product in exchange for a share of operating profits or a royalty on net sales of the authorized generic product. When a brand company sells such generic product itself or through one of its subsidiaries, such generic product is often referred to as an "in-house generic." Like a standard ANDA generic product, the authorized generic and in-house generic are sold at a discount to the brand product price. Since the in-house or authorized generic relies upon the NDA approval for the brand product, no ANDA must be filed or approved and therefore, such products may be sold during the 180-day exclusivity period otherwise reserved under Hatch-Waxman for the first-to-file ANDA filer for such generic product.
Editor: Assuming an increase in generic competition results in a further loss of market share for brand products, why do brand companies sell in-house generics or license authorized generics for marketing and sale?
Reilly: The primary reason appears to be to diminish the value of an "at risk" launch for a generic company. As discussed above, after the 30-month stay and/or pending final appeal of a district court finding of non-infringement or invalidity of a patent covering the brand product, the generic company can launch its generic product subject to the risk of a finding of patent infringement (where the district court decision occurs after the expiry of the 30-month stay) or the risk that a favorable district court decision will be overturned on appeal (where the district court decision occurs during the 30-month stay or prior to the launch of the generic product). If the generic product is launched, the 180-day marketing exclusivity for the product can provide the generic company with large financial rewards and market share from the sale of the product during this period. Such rewards are substantially reduced when an in-house generic or authorized generic is marketed and sold during the 180-day exclusivity period. In such case, the generic company must compete not only with the brand product, but also with the in-house or authorized generic in terms of price and market share. This has the effect of substantially reducing the return to the generic company on the sale of its generic product and may serve as a dis-incentive to generic companies in general to commit the necessary resources to the development of such generic product and to fund the expense of patent infringe litigation associated with a Paragraph IV filing.

The Simple-minded Logic of Liberals
Liberals pretend that they are bright and go to prestigious schools like Harvard and Yale. But these pristine universities of putative intellect are actually schools for dunces.
The liberal idiots use the fallen rebellious nature of the corrupted academic environment to go against the capitalistic, lawful institutions that are traditional America.
These Ivy League dolts feel that going against tradition is a sign of intellectual vitality. They bifurcate tradition and take a contrarian posture.
However, a true conservative, intellectual would trifurcate education and do a three level posture. Thus, there would be (1) conservative tradition (2) undercutting of that mode and (3) rising above the undercutting to reattach oneself to the original conservative tradition with a broader perspective.
So a limited, spoiled, academic progressive liberal would contradict gender identification and support moving away from gender specificity to allow men to imagine that they are women and women that they are men. They would congratulate themselves on being open minded rather than no minded. They would enjoy the stench in the unisexual bathrooms.
A simple minded liberal would demand that the rich give a fair share to the poor rather than the rich give a fair share of opportunities to the poor.
Back in the Vietnam days nasty men like Bill Ayers would blow people up rather than support the industrial military complex and the soldiers who gave him the mistaken intellectual freedom to kill in the name of innocence that didn't exist.
Now liberals want to undercut drug laws and support legalized marijuana. Why not respect drug laws that protect us? Why are liberals so concerned with the penalties of others when they themselves have often never been punished?
I hate pot. I trip on it. I know people who have done jail time for marijuana and they don't cry as much as the liberals who have never been punished. Why do liberals worry so much about other people's jail terms? Maybe because they figure it will happen to them one day and they are scared.
Basically, liberals are stupid. They don't see past the first level of rebellion into the joy of consistency and supporting the solidity of a solid past. They are rebellious activists. They are simple-minded while they boldly announce their hypothetical originality.

Infinity Ward's Robert Bowling has told us what to expect in Modern Warfare 3's next patch via a number of recent tweets. Apparently the main focus of the update will be to fix the spawning system and spawn logic, which should result in a slightly less chaotic experience.
In terms of nerfs, Bowling suggests that the FMG9, Striker and Type 95 will all receive a slight downgrade, while the shotguns will be buffed. Host disadvantage/lag compensation and the "Out Of Memory7" error will also be addressed.
The patch is expected to release by the end of the month.

EDEN HAZARD insists Chelsea and Manchester United players do not care about Antonio Conte and Jose Mourinho's public spat.
The two managers have been involved in a war of words in recent weeks.
And the conflict has shown no sign of ending any time soon.
Conte is eager to speak with Mourinho face-to-face when Chelsea travel to Old Trafford on February 25.
But until then, Hazard outlines he and his team-mates will carry on as normal.
The Belgium international star, who has worked under both men, was in attendance at NBA London last night.
And when asked about Conte and Mourinho clashing, Hazard told DAZN: "I think it's nothing.
"Both managers, not just Mourinho and Conte, they like to speak in the media.
"But as a player we just focus on the pitch.
"We don't care what happens between them.
"We just want to win games, that's the most important thing in football."
Conte was asked today in his press conference about Fabio Capello's comments on the saga, after he said both bosses were 'out of their minds'.
But Chelsea blocked the Italian from responding in a bid to potentially quash the feud.
Hazard, meanwhile, is expected to start tomorrow when Leicester visit Stamford Bridge (3pm).

Smyrna , town, Kent county, central Delaware, U.S., near the Smyrna River. Established about 1755, it was known as Duck Creek Cross Roads (for its location on the creek, which flows into the Smyrna River) until 1806, when it was renamed for the biblical seaport of Asia Minor. In 1792 apiquedstate assembly, barred from the State House at Dover by a sheriff, met in the village tavern and named Duck Creek Cross Roads the state capital; the resolution was repealed later in the session by a calmer assembly. By the mid-19th century Smyrna had become a busy shipping point for central Delaware produce. The town is now an agricultural, shipping, and light industrial centre. A number of historic buildings, including Allee House (1753) and The Lindens (pre-1765), have been preserved. Lake Como, a reservoir nearly a mile long, is nearby and provides recreational facilities. Inc. 1859. Pop. (2000) 5, 679; (2010) 10, 023.

Wooden Garages: Advantages vs Disadvantages
We're lucky to have blazing sun at the moment, and to be honest, it feels like early summer rather than spring. When those back-doors are flung open again after the bitter, damp winter, the warm, fresh air seems to revitalize everything. Thoughts often then turn to new plants, landscaping works and possibly even the addition or replacement of sheds and garages. Done right, these garden structures can actually add to your oasis rather than detract from it. And, if you're looking at wooden garages, then the following article has a few tips!
Are you looking at constructing a new garage, but want to make sure you are selecting the right one for your home? Garages are rarely a consideration when someone purchases a home, beyond a quick glance to make sure it is there. So many homeowners are left building their own, or repairing/expanding one that isn't quite what they need.
Timber garages are becoming a more popular choice these days. But there are some pros and cons to the style.
More Environmentally Friendly
The first point is a big one for many people seeking a wooden structure. Obviously, deforestation is a major problem in the world. But it is no longer an obstacle to buying wood products. You can find plenty of slats of used wood that are in beautiful condition, and lessen your impact on the planet.
In addition, the stains and other chemicals used on the wood have been tweaked by many brands to offer a safer, healthier option to the old, environmentally damaging versions you may be used to.
Easier Repairs and Replacements
A steel garage might be less likely to be damaged in the short term, but it is hard to fix and can be impossible to replace full sections without having to cut out for more and weld in large slabs. With a wooden garage, it is easier to repair and replace portions in smaller jobs, and without nearly as much hassle.
You want your garage to last, after all.
Wood Looks Fantastic
Of course, one of the big appeals to a wooden garage is the way it looks. The wood gives it an antique, rustic image that can improve the overall appearance of the entire property. When you see a wooden door, it gives an air of an estate, even when it is especially small.
Aesthetically Merge with Gardens
Along with the overall look comes the way it merges with gardens. Those who have a large focus on their yard don't want an eyesore looming over it. A wooden garage is more attractive, by far. It melds in with the scenery, helping to improve it, rather than detracting from it.
Prefab Wood Garage Kits Are Simple to Put Up
Chances are you don't want to build your garage from scrap. You may be nervous about hiring a contractor, as well. The costs are definitely high for that kind of work, and you might run into some shady agencies that don't have your interests in mind, doing a bad job quickly and rushing off with your money before you can notice any problems.
Prefab kits are a great alternative to skilled labor. They are easier to put up, and wooden ones are even simpler than the metal varieties, and lighter.
There Is Upkeep Involved
If there is any complaint people have about wooden structures of any kind, it is the upkeep. Metal garages can pretty much be left alone. Wood has to be restrained and resealed every three to five years. You may have to occasionally recoil along any doors or windows. You will also have to check it regularly for pests, especially termites and worms that will be drawn to the wood.
However, if you keep up with that maintenance you will never have any problems.
Initial Pricing Can Be Steep
Steel garages are cheap, with the most expensive prefabs running around $2000, max. Wooden structures are more expensive, because the materials cost more to produce. You are going to be more around the $4000 - $5000 mark, on the median end.
But keep in mind this is an initial investment. The upkeep will be around $600 to $1000 every five years, maybe three years is you live in a particularly wet area. The cost isn't nearly so high long term as you may be fearing.
Can Be Less Sturdy Than Steel Alternatives
As has already been mentioned, steel tends to be sturdier than wood. It can dent, but it isn't likely to break. There isn't usually much upkeep, if any. Even if you ran into the garage door with your car, you would probably do more damage to the vehicle than the garage.
Wood, on the other hand, can crack, chip, and warp if not properly taken care of. Pests can damage the inside of the slabs, or burrow into the wood, creating a hidden infestation you may not be aware of until it is too late.
In the end, there are many pros to a wooden garage, but a couple of drawbacks. If you are willing to invest the money into the initial purchase, and then care for it the way it deserves, the pros far outweigh the cons.
