When I was making prints with my Gelli plate, I cut a few leaf & stem shapes out of paper to use on the plate. The shapes have been hanging out on my desk, and I keep picking them up and using them in various ways on my journal pages. You'll see them popping up a lot. I love using a motif. It's so artistically valuable to take one image and push yourself to use it in many ways.

Just a grungy page. I had done something underneath that looked like puke on a page, so I just painted over it and wrote my journaling. No biggie. Remember, every page does not have to be a masterpiece! I think some people get caught up on making a "pretty " journal. It doesn't have to pretty. It just has to be expressive and authentic.

Here's a purple-y gal with lots of oil-pastel green & purple scribbles. Getting out a lot of frustrations in the journaling!
Auset left me a comment and said, "I have just started out with art journaling this June. I have created
pages I love; but I have been frustrated with my favorite mediums
sometimes not matching up (like, I love oil pastels but can't write
over them with my gel pens). I think it's just a matter of getting more
experience under my belt- but I would love to hear your take on
combining the correct materials for newbies."
Great question...here are a few random musings.
I think learning what materials work well together is mostly trial and error. Like Auset, I've done pages with oil pastels only to find that nothing will write over them. I find that as a general rule, I have to add oil pastels as one of my last layers, and I plan not to put anything over them.
In general, water-based products can be layered easily. Oil-based products can go on top of water-based products. However, water-based products don't layer well over oil-based. That said I have been successful using small amounts of acrylic paint over oil pastel, so the "rule" can be broken to a point. For the page below, I drew over the oil pastel with my Stabilo Marks All pencil. That worked will because the Stabilo is meant to work on slick, non-porous surfaces (which is why it works so well on acrylic paint).
Because I use the Stabilo Marks All pencil for drawing, I've started to seal my drawings with Krylon Workable Fixatif. The fixatif helps the pencil marks stay put as I put more layers on top of them. It also protects the drawings from wear & tear of being in the journal. I have learned, though, that ink sprays do NOT like to go over workable fixatif. They will bead up. Acrylic paint will go over workable fixatif pretty well, especially if they are not watered down in any way.
My favorite fixatif is still Krylon Workable Fixatif. I tried the Prismacolor workable fixtif and I hate it...the fumes are even more noxious than the Krylon. I tried Spectrafix (which is a no-fume, non-aerosol product) and it's ok. I'm not in love with it because it is very wet and therefore alters my spray ink layers (because the inks react with the liquid in the Spectrafix).
I've ruined about a million pens trying to write over wet paint and ink.
My best advice for pens is to wait until your paint is dry before you
write! This causes me problems, still, because I don't like to wait for
layers to dry. I have the best luck with paint pens...because paint works well over paint. I like Sharpie water-based poster-paint markers in extra-fine point. They're not a perfect pen by any means, but I get the best results with them. I have some of the Montana Acrylic Markers winging their way to me from Blick as we speak! Can't wait to try them.
Got an art journaling question? Drop me a line and let me know!

It's almost cliche thought that during a recession consumers move to creature comforts like booze. But in Britain, beer sales have been falling and pubs have been closing at rapid rates as consumers cut back on spending.
But a visit to the Great British Beer festival in London reveals a landscape in the beverage industry that is managing to buck the soft trend seen by global megabrewers. The event, arranged by non-profit, consumer organization CAMRA (the Campaign for Real Ale), is on its way to meeting similar figures to its record-making year in 2006 where it brought in over 66,000 consumers over the 4-day period it was held.
CAMRA was formed by four people in 1971 "who wanted to save the British beer industry at the time," Since then, CAMRA's membership has risen to 100,000 people.
"The simple fact is the whole (beer) industry, including lagers and ales is in decline," Simon Theakston, executive director of T&R Theakston, a traditional brewing company that is 182 years old, said.
But "at the moment we're seeing, for the first time in a generation, a resurgent interest in cask ale," Theakston said.
Cask ale is a traditional English style of beer that has no additional carbon dioxide injected and is served at warmer temperatures than the more mass-market chilled lagers.
For the technical, real ale (phrase coined by CAMRA) or cask ale is "a top fermented beer that, following fermentation, is put into a cask with yeast and some residual fermentable sugars from the malted barley." It undergoes a "slow secondary fermentation in the cask to produce a gentle carbonation in the beer.
"The fact is that cask condition beer can only be served in pubs," Theakston said.

Ubisoft Toronto creating new Splinter Cell project, confirms Raymond
Ubisoft Toronto is working on a new Splinter Cell project, boss Jade Raymond has revealed.
Speaking with Gama, Raymond, who used to be executive producer on the Assassin's Creed IP before getting the Ubi Toronto gig last August, also revealed that a second, unnamed triple AAA title was in the works at the studio.
"All of the core team [from Conviction, such as producers Alex Parizeau and Maxime Béland] has relocated with me from Montreal," said Raymond. "Where you develop a game does have an impact on who it appeals to… When you think of it like that, I think the Splinter Cell franchise fits Toronto."
She also insists that it's all AAA titles for consoles at the studio, so don't go looking for My Little Pony: Sam Fisher Edition for DS in the near-future.
"Instead of starting a studio and working on small projects, Nintendo DS or portables, we're starting out of the gate with triple-A only. The reason that I think that's the right strategy is that it allows us to attract the best talent right off the bat."
Raymond added she'd like to see 800 people at Ubi Toronto within the next ten years.
There's a full interview through here.

MORAGA — Saint Mary's College sophomore Jordan Giusti enjoyed hearing the crowd chanting his name again in the Gaels' 89-61 rout of Loyola Marymount on Saturday at McKeon Pavilion.
It has been a quiet season for Giusti, a former walk-on and a crowd favorite last season for his dogged defense.
This time, Giusti was 4 for 5 from 3-point range, including making three in a row in a soaring first-half sequence. He had a career-high 15 points in the West Coast Conference battle — nearly 12 above his season average.
"I love that," Giusti said of the chants. "I was in a little bit of a slump, and to get out of it really helps. I've just got to keep it up."
Saint Mary's 6-foot-9 junior Brad Waldow was dominant, finishing with game highs of 27 points and 10 rebounds in the Gaels' fourth straight win to conclude a 5-1 homestand.
Guard Kerry Carter added 15 points on 5-for-8 shooting for the Gaels (16-5, 6-2), who will begin a four-game trip at San Diego on Thursday.
Saint Mary's coach Randy Bennett was impressed with his team's effort, especially on defense. Lions standout Anthony Ireland scored 15 of his 17 points in the second half when the game was out of reach.
"I thought we played one of our best games of the year," Bennett said. "Giusti hitting those threes early really helped us get some separation. I thought a lot of guys played well. … Loyola's good. They just had a win on the road."
Giusti, as a redshirt freshman last season, saw action in all 35 Gaels' games, including two NCAA tournament games.
"The last couple of games he's been playing better," Bennett said. "I have more confidence in him because he's playing more like he used to, hustling and defending and helping us."
A grinning Giusti said his teammates were calling him "shooter" and "the quickest trigger in the West" after the game.
"It was funny to hear because it's something I've never heard before," Giusti said. "It's just awesome that they were supporting me and helping me out."
After the Lions (11-11, 3-7), who have lost seven of their last eight games, trimmed an 18-point halftime deficit to 11 points, Waldow ignited another Gaels' surge, highlighted by his alley-oop dunk off a pass from Giusti. He retreated into the backcourt to control a loose ball before spotting Waldow standing by the basket.
"My eyes lit up," Giusti said of the play. "That's just a lot of fun."
Waldow was 11 for 16 from the floor and 5 for 5 from the free-throw line. He was also devastating on pick-and-rolls from the top of the key.
The Gaels controlled the first half, leading 42-24 when the buzzer sounded. The margin was 37-16 after a Waldow dunk off a Lions turnover with 4:14 remaining.
Giusti had three straight 3-pointers as the Gaels forged to a 26-7 lead.
Saint Mary's (16-5, 6-2 WCC) at San Diego (12-10, 3-6),

UPDATE: An OSF spokesperson has released the following statement in connection to a recent report showing a Lifeline ambulance went to the wrong address when responding to a shooting call in Rockford.
"OSF Lifeline Ambulance worked with the Rockford Fire Department in conducting its investigation of the May 26 incident and assisted in the development of the recommended procedures outlined by Rockford Fire. These procedures should improve communication in all phases of the dispatch process between Rockford Fire and the voluntary private ambulance services. OSF Lifeline remains committed to serving Rockford and the surrounding communities and providing the highest quality service and care."
UPDATE: ROCKFORD (WIFR) -- A Rockford Fire Department report shows a Lifeline ambulance went to the wrong address when responding to a shooting call on the 500 block of Pearl Street in Rockford.
In all, it took roughly 23 minutes for an ambulance to get to the scene; nearly 32 minutes to get the patient to the hospital after the first ambulance was dispatched.
Paramedics were responding to a shooting incident where 21-year-old Andrew Barth was shot in the chest. He was later pronounced dead at Swedish American Hospital.
Ambulances with the Rockford Fire Department typically respond to incidents in the city within 7.5 minutes, but on that day, all seven units were tied up so OSF Lifeline Ambulance accepted the call.
It wasn't until 12 minutes after being dispatched that the Lifeline Ambulance notified their call center that they were at the wrong address, responding to Pearl Avenue near Huffman on the city's northwest side instead of 512 Pearl Street near Charles Street on the city's east side.
The Rockford Fire Department report shows that their dispatch operator did tell MedCom, the dispatcher for Lifeline, the incident was at 512 Pearl Street. The MedCom operator responded "512 Pearl... got it."
According to the report MedCom told the Lifeline Ambulance to respond to 512 Pearl, not 512 Pearl Street.
The Rockford Fire Department report also shows the Rockford Fire dispatcher gave Rockford Fire Department units a map reference of "Adam Xray 38" which is a code that helps responding units more clearly understand where they are going. The report shows that the Rockford Fire 911 dispatcher did not give that same map reference to the MedCom operator nor was it relayed to the Lifeline ambulance.
We asked Rockford Fire Chief Derek Bergsten if giving a map reference is proper protocol but as of 3:50pm Thursday, there has been no response.
Our newsroom also put a call into OSF for a comment and they declined to make any.
Here are the Rockford Fire Department recommendations listed in the report:
After reviewing Standard Operating Procedures and department police we have made these following recommendations.
1. Require operators of licensed ALS ambulance services that provide back-up coverage for Rockford Fire would complete a driver safety course. Such topics of the course shall include:
a. Emergency Vehicle Operators Course (EVOC) or similar training.
b. Map Book Training
2. Recommend that private ambulance providers install and use Automatic Vehicle Locators (AVL) in all their ambulances, allowing their dispatch entity to track their location.
3. Provide private ambulance companies with the numeric address and street name to include; the direction, type of road and Rockford map page reference. The private ambulance company will acknowledge by repeating the complete information back to the Rockford dispatcher, who will then confirm and acknowledge the correctness of the response. The Rockford dispatcher will request what the unit will be responding and from what location. When the private ambulance unit verifies on assigned fire channel, they will give their unit number, verify the dispatch information including address of call and provide response location, and the Rockford dispatcher will then confirm and acknowledge the correctness of that dispatch information including the address of the call.
4. Formalize agreements with private ambulance service providers to include conflict resolution and clear expectations of response capabilities.
5. Private ambulances will continually monitor radio traffic and respond when contacted on the assigned Rockford Fire channel until the call is completed.
6. Rockford Fire Department will provide annual updates on the map books to the private ambulance providers.
ROCKFORD (WIFR) – 21-year-old Andrew Barth lost his life Memorial Day after being shot in the chest. Now, there are questions about whether he could've been saved.
Ambulances with the Rockford Fire Department typically respond to incidents in the city within 7.5 minutes, but on Monday, all seven units were tied up so OSF Lifeline Ambulance accepted the call.
The call came in at 1:16 p.m. At 1:19 OSF said it was headed to the scene. Two minutes later a Rockford Fire Truck arrived and asked OSF when it would get there. They said 2-3 minutes. Rockford Fire called back four minutes later and got no response. Another OSF ambulance said it would respond, but Rockford Fire finally had a free ambulance and sent it. That ambulance got there at 1:42, 26 minutes after the initial call.
Police say Barth and another person in his pick-up truck got into a fight with two people in a dark-colored mini-van. One of those suspects shot Barth in the chest. He was pronounced dead at the hospital nearly an hour after being shot.
"This could have cost him his life. Nobody is ever going to know if they could've saved my son or not, because there's no answer when he's 26 minutes lying at a scene," said Andrew's father, Tim Barth.
"We were doing everything possible, our men and women are trained professionals and we do not like to have any bad outcomes like this especially," said Chief Derek Bergsten with the Rockford Fire Department.
The Rockford Fire Department is doing a review as to why the OSF ambulance never arrived. That review should be complete next week.
In a statement from OSF, it says their average ambulance response time is 8 minutes, but times can vary depending on different factors. They say in this case, Rockford fire called them off because they had a unit closer. Police are still searching for the suspects in Barth's murder.

SOURCE: Cyclone Power Technologies, Inc.
November 19, 2012 16:10 ET
POMPANO BEACH, FL--(Marketwire - Nov 19, 2012) - Cyclone Power Technologies (OTCQB: CYPW) has filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended September 30, 2012, and has released the following progress report to its shareholders:
Dear Shareholders:
Greeting from South Florida. We had a very positive third quarter marked by increased revenue, decisive steps to limit shareholder dilution, and key business and technological advancements.
Our September 30, 2012 financial statements are now available in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q on file with the Securities & Exchange Commission. On behalf of Cyclone's executive team, I would like to take this opportunity to highlight some important developments from that report.
These results demonstrate that Cyclone is on the right path to growth. We are focused on generating revenue and related profitability from operations and taking steps to limit shareholder dilution. Building confidence and increasing shareholder value are critically important to our Company and our executive team. Moving forward, our objectives are clear: continue to push ahead the commercialization of our technology.
Cyclone's most immediate focus is pursuing opportunities in the area of waste-to-energy. This includes use of biomass, bio-waste, waste fuels and waste heat to power our engines and spin electric generators. We believe that Cyclone can achieve considerable market penetration over the coming years in the smaller-scale distributed market (under 500kWe output) as businesses, industrial sites, municipal waste authorities and agricultural concerns gain greater understanding of the necessity and economic benefits of utilizing waste resources more effectively. This represents potentially a multi-billion dollar business in the U.S. alone, with even greater possibilities overseas in rapidly developing nations.
To implement this business plan we have pursued the following projects:
An enormous opportunity also exists for Cyclone engines to power multi-fuel, cleaner running and more efficient cars and trucks. Because the hurdles to entry for transportation applications are significantly higher than in the waste-to-energy markets, we are seeking major development partners to provide Cyclone with funding and expertise to succeed in this sector. Our strategy for this includes the completion and running of our Team Steam USA Land Speed Record (LSR) car in the coming months, which will provide an important demonstration and further validation to future partners of the capabilities of our technology.
Cyclone has made great strides over the past few months in transitioning its engine technology from prototype to production, which includes:
In the past month we have brought in Jim Landon, who currently serves on the Company's Board of Directors, to assume the role of Chief Executive Officer on an interim basis. Jim has considerable experience in manufacturing and operations, and will be instrumental in overseeing our transition from prototyping to production. This will include helping to build greater alliances with Cyclone's manufacturing partners, and recruiting top-level production engineers and executives to oversee this transition process.
As the company's Chairman and co-founder, I have taken on the new position of Chief Technology Officer, a move that has allowed me to focus full time on technology development and innovation for the company. I look forward to continuing to improve and innovate upon our current technologies and bring them to the forefront of today's global energy discussion.
We encourage all Cyclone shareholders, supporters and friends curious about our progress to visit us in South Florida. We are certain that you will be impressed with the level of activity, talent and progress at our shop, and believe that you will understand our mission and why we remain strongly confident in our path to success.
/s/ Harry Schoell

Nothing called Hellboy, be it comic book or comic book movie, is going to take itself too seriously. Just saying that title aloud — HELL-boy — is enough to make most people chuckle.
But Mexican director Guillermo del Toro's take on Mike Mignola's comic book evolves in Hellboy II: The Golden Army. He makes a movie that is all brawn and bravura, big guy-big guns-big trench coat. And he stirs in a little of his Pan's Labyrinth pathos, a wistfulness over a world of magic that we've lost.
He's still a better director and visualist than he is a screenwriter. It's a lighthearted movie, but rarely a funny one. Del Toro still isn't comfortable with English-language zingers or punchy tough-guy dialogue. The TV commercials that have Hellboy (Ron Perlman in a red latex suit) taking on NBC's Chuck in a video game, or riffing with James Lipton in a Hellboy: Inside the Actor's Studio are funnier than anything del Toro wrote for the movie.
But as big, mindlessly fantastical summer entertainment goes, this falls comfortably between Iron Man (the gold standard) and the not-quite Incredible Hulk. It's a visually striking, mildly amusing way to kill a couple of hours.
The Golden Army takes us back to Hellboy's childhood, when his adoptive scientist-dad (John Hurt) reads him a tale of the ancient wars between ogres, goblins, elves and humans. He tells of a mechanical army the King of the Elves concocted, one which only a truce kept from wiping out humanity.
Now, that elf king's pale martial-artist son (Luke Goss) is back from exile, anxious to revive the Golden Army, "the harbingers of death, the unstoppable tide."
Not if Hellboy and his ragtag crew of demons from the B.P.R.D. — the Bureau of Paranormal Research and Defense — have any say about it.
Perlman is a very old hand at wearing the latex and playing a mythical figure. The onetime "Beast" of TV's Beauty and the Beast downs his Tecates (Mexican beer), chomps on his Cubans and chews up the scenery as a "freak" who isn't fazed by anything or anyone this world (or the "other" one) throws at him. He's Lee Marvin in latex. Hellboy has Liz ( Selma Blair), his flame (literally), and his pal, the brainy, watery Abe ( Doug Jones, replacing David Hyde Pierce from Hellboy) and a vaporous Teutonic boss (amusingly voiced by Seth McFarlane).
Pity he doesn't have much pithy to say. Every new horror or terror unleashed by Prince Nuada is only worth another "Ooooh, crap" from Hellboy.
"You will pay for what happened to my friend down there!" spits the Prince.
"You take checks?" Hellboy brimstones back.
Del Toro drags out the few jokes he tries (a Barry Manilow love duet) one or two verses too many. A few jokes from a script doctor might have helped.
But even if the humor and heart (some Blade Runner/X-Men lessons about what nonhumans can teach us) don't quite pay off, The Golden Army ticks over, gears, ratchets and cogs, like the clockwork comic book movie that it is, one that benefits from lovely baroque technology and imaginative retro-looking trolls and such left over from Pan's Labyrinth. And if there's anybody up to the task of chewing all that lavish scenery, it's Perlman. He makes even the weaker moments of this hellishly fun.

Mark Bonter, a Michigan marketing director, arrived at work last week determined to do something worthwhile - for famine victims halfway around the world.
Mr. Bonter spent a day and a half contacting churches, establishing an escrow account, and filming a locally televised videotape appealing for emergency funds for Ethiopia. This week he will mail a check for more than $4,000 to an international relief agency.
''It just hit me,'' Bonter says, ''it was time for me to do something.'' He is not alone.
In what is being called the largest outpouring of voluntary public contributions since the Kampuchean (Cambodian) refugee crisis five years ago, Americans are vigorously responding to the recent famine in Ethiopia. Across the country, business people and schoolchildren, retirees and students, pastors and laymen, are sending checks, answering phones, and holding fund-raising drives in one of the largest grass-roots efforts to aid disaster victims.
''We haven't seen anything like this since Kampuchea,'' says Barbara Hendrie, media director for Oxfam-America, the Boston-based international relief agency, which has already forwarded 14,000 metric tons of emergency food aid. ''Our phones short-circuited, we had so many callers.''
The relief route from the America to Africa, however, is a rutted one. American relief-agency officials complain that Ethiopia was late in acknowledging the crisis and has done little to help distribute the incoming aid.
The issue is also bogged down in partisan politics. Congressional Democrats this week criticized the Reagan administration for allowing the situation to reach such a serious level. The White House countered Thursday by announcing it had approved $45.1 million in emergency food assistance to the drought-plagued African nations of Kenya, Mozambique, and Mali. The US has provided $43.7 million in emergency food relief to Ethiopia over the last month, more than double the amount spent during the previous year.
According to relief agencies around the country, television networks' broadcasts last week on the plight of the estimated 8 to 10 million Ethiopian famine victims have brought in millions of dollars nationwide.
Already, such relief agencies as Oxfam-America, Catholic Relief Services, and Church World Services are each reporting donations of nearly $200,000. Lutheran World Relief is providing $4.75 million. In some cases, unsolicited contributions of $30,000 to $60,000 are arriving at relief agency offices daily. Although no agency is yet predicting a total figure for public contributions, a few observers predict donations may reach the $60 million level achieved during the Campuchean crisis of 1980. Some observers now say Ethiopia may need up to 1. 8 million metric tons of emergency food aid through 1985.
''It's unprecedented,'' says Betty Woodward of Save the Children, an international community development agency. ''We're getting 2,000 pieces of mail a day, and as of an hour ago we had received $136,000.''
''This is the first time I've seen this kind of (response) happen this quickly and this ecumenically,'' says the Rev. Thomas Stoll of Traverse City, Mich., one of the ministers canvassed by Bonter. ''It's very heartening.''
The problem in Ethiopia is as much a logistical and political one as it is lack of food. Because of the ongoing civil war in the northern provinces of Eritrea and Tigre, areas hardest hit by drought, food aid is being shipped into the interior through Ethiopian ports and neighboring Sudan. For this reason, some givers have been targeting money for transportation needs. Church World Service has earmarked $260,000 for transportation of grain by truck and airlifts.
According to the relief agencies contacted, many of those contributing include a high percentage of retirees and low- and middle-income Americans. ''Many people who are calling in to help are on fixed incomes,'' says Ravi Khanna of Oxfam-America. ''Many are saying, 'I'm sorry we can only give a little.' ''
''One woman on social security said she often has to eat pet food herself but wanted to send in $5,'' says Oxfam spokeswoman Hendrie.
Other examples cited by the agencies range from a $12,000 contribution from two Los Angeles law firms to $18 donated from a four-year-old boy's piggy bank. Many of the larger donations are arriving anonymously, but others come with notes. ''My prayers go out to them,'' one elderly Massachusetts woman wrote. ''I hope others will do what they can.''
Many US callers apparently want to do even more than send money. ''They're asking, 'Are we doing enough?' '' Ms. Woodward says. ''I had a call from two businessmen who wanted to charter a plane.''
Renee Cheng, a Harvard University senior, is organizing a campuswide fast and ''hunger banquet.'' She expects to send about $3,000 to a relief agency.
Asrat Butru, an Ethiopian immigrant and bank analyst for the Federal Reserve Bank here, is canvassing local churches and hosting a fund-raiser in Boston's Ethiopian community. ''I was encouraged by the way Americans are responding. So I thought, why not me, too?''

An Israeli company authorized to drill an oil reservoir near the Dead Sea, recently evaluated to contain NIS 1.2 billion worth of fuel, stressed Sunday that the area is located entirely inside Israel, which it said was a response to Arab media reports that the site stretched into Palestinian territory.
Israel Opportunity Energy Resources LP said in a statement sent to the media that the Hatrurim field "lies entirely within Israel's borders." The oil company said they were responding to "various reports" in the Arab media, though the statement did not specify which reports, nor the nature of their claims. READ MORE

Author has written 5 stories for Harry Potter, and CSI: Miami.Soooo, that's me: I'm studying Biochemistry in Germany, which pretty much takes up ALL of my time (including the hours normal people spend sleeping). The two, three hours a week when I can tear myself away from my bacteria, I read and write fanfiction. I'm totally devoted to the Snape/Hermione pairing, and you can hate me now if you like. But I'm a proud WIKTTeer!
I like angsty stuff, but I also love fluff, especially when it's done in a humorous way!
Favourite characters include Draco (he's hilarious when you come to think about it, really ... don't believe me? go read Tabula Rasa) and Dumbledore (I think I'm beginning to fall for the Albus/Minerva ship as well ... oh Merlin ...).
I'm a Slytherin, really. Just ask the people who are standing next to me in the lab (hehehe). I have this mean streak I can't deny, which is why I make frequent use of cliffhangers in my stories.
So as I've said - you can hate me now if you like :)
Now, let's switch fandoms. Over the past couple of months I have become increasingly fanatic about CSI:Miami. Do I even have to explain why? Just a hint: Think Horatio. Think gorgeous intelligent people in lab coats ... ah, I love it!
There's no question about what ship to promote there. It's H/C or nothing, folks. And stay away from me with Y! Argh! Don't even get me started on her.
Check out
if you want to meet a bunch of incredibly gifted and supportive fanfic writers. They're also great on fanart, info and gossip and are just generally some of the nicest people I've ever met. This group rocks my world!!!

This past Thursday I fished it for the first time this year. It started out like a typical day, pulling out rainbows from 8-10 inches from all the typical water you would expect to catch fish in during the winter. I was enjoying myself and trying to focus on my nymphing technique, to clean up a few of my bad habits. Its in these moments after falling into a routine of pulling in small fish when you are the most susceptible to surprise. That's exactly what happened when the rainbow pictured above slammed my flies. It oppened my eyes right up the way a splash of cold water to the face in the middle of winter would have. Its not the biggest rainbow in the world, or probably even the biggest in the Narrows, but coinciding with the warm winter day, it was simply a beautiful fish on a beautiful day that is now lodged into my memory for good. I love how fly fishing has the ability to shape unforgettable memories out of a typical moment, on a typical river, with an untypical fish (for the Narrows anyway). What a great moment!
Note: Flies of the day were once again the Bloody Prince (Size 14), and the Rainbow Warrior (Size 16).

What if all of us who write about or work on hunger and food security issues, thought of ourselves as criminal investigators, rather than advocates?
That's the interesting question that came to mind for me as I was listening this morning to Roger Thurow, a foreign correspondent for the Wall Street Journal, talk about his new book, Enough: Why the World's Poorest Starve in an Age of Plenty. Mr. Thurow said that he and his co-author, Scott Kilman, another WSJ reporter, found themselves becoming crime reporters as they documented hunger and famine in Africa over the last decade. The more they traveled-from Ethiopia to Kenya and from Mali to Ghana-talking to farmers, grain traders, and political leaders, the more they realized that they had to "crack the case and get to the bottom of the crime" of how the world, 19 years after the 1984 Ethiopian famine, let it happen again in 2003. In the 1984 famine, some 12 million people were on the verge of starvation and 1 million died; in 2003, some 14 million people were suffering from famine. After the Live Aid concerts, the photos of children with bloated bellies, the pleas from celebrities, and the promises to never let it happen again, it did. And with obviously disastrous results.
Thurow and Kilman attempt to answer why that famine and the current food crisis happened, as well as why the Green Revolution in agriculture "stopped short," as they say, in Africa. One of the most interesting things Thurow explained was how the success of African farmers became their failure-in 2001, the Ethiopian harvest was the best most farmers had ever seen. They had record yields and had more food than ever to feed their families, as well as to bring to market. But that surplus caused prices to collapse more than 80 percent. Farmers couldn't pay their debts and they cut back their expenses the next season-they planted less, they used less inputs like fertilizers and hybrid seeds, and planted just enough to (hopefully) feed their families. When the famine hit hard in 2002-2003, the same farmers, write Thurow and Kilman, who had carried their surplus grain to market the season before, were now carrying their malnourished and starving children to food aid centers. And at the same time, Ethiopian grain traders had warehouses packed to the ceiling with surplus food because foreign aid agencies were buying foreign-mostly U.S. grain-instead of from local suppliers. As a result, while millions of people in Ethiopia went hungry, more than 300,000 tonnes of grain rotted either in fields or in storage. In other words, producing enough food is important, but food markets can sometimes work in irrational ways to undermine production.
As I continue to digest-so to speak-Thurow and Kilman's book, I'll let you know what I think and I hope you'll give me your thoughts on whether hunger is a crime or something that humanity has to naturally endure.

CCGs are responsible for commissioning the majority of local healthcare services from 1 April 2013. Many CCGs cover a smaller area than the previous PCTs. They are intended to ensure a closer relationship between local people, commissioners and commissioning decisions.
Who will be involved in Clinical Commissioning Groups?
CCGs are commissioning organisations formed from general medical practices. All practices are required to join a CCG and will hold the CCG to account for decisions made on their behalf.
CCGs will need to involve patients, carers, the public and a wide range of doctors, nurses, and other health and care professionals in their commissioning work.
How will they be accountable?
CCGs will be assessed for accountability and transparency by NHS England on an ongoing basis, and will have to include at least one registered nurse and one secondary care doctor (neither of whom is to be employed in the area), on their governing body.
Because of the crucial role that CCGs will play, they were required to apply for authorisation from the NHS Commissioning Board – now known as NHS England.
There are two hundred and eleven CCGs in England, some of whom have had 'conditions' attached to their authorisation which state where NHS England thinks they may need extra support to carry out their functions effectively.
It is the CCGs and the CSUs (see below) they contract with, that LOCs will need to work with in future when it comes to designing and implementing new local eye health services, or reviewing existing enhanced services.
Please see here for a map of CCGs in England:
Each CCG has a chair to provide clinical leadership and an accountable officer (either a senior manager or a clinician).
Please see here for CCG contact details:
Commissioning Support Units (CSUs)
To ensure that CCGs devote as much of their budget as possible to frontline care, they will be able to use CSUs to provide many back-office commissioning support functions and services such as business intelligence and procurement. Some CCGs will also call upon CSUs to provide other functions such as HR and finance.
Please click on the following link for a list of the nineteen CSUs operating in England as of 1 April 2013:

Hi all ! I got put on lantus yesterday
I went to the doctor yesterday and he put me on lantus. My numbers were too high and lantus is supposed to help me to lower my levels for 24 hours. If I do get a high still then he wants me to still use my sliding scale of humulan. It comes in a pen form called solostar. I really like the pen its easy to use and painless. So I start out with lantus in the morning just one shot all day. I wanted to keep you all posted on what was happening with my treatment. So far so good ! Thank you all for being here for me. This should help quite a bit I'm hopeing along with diet and excersice of corse! So that's the news! Thanks for supporting me through this!

Hi realsis ,
I,m also on lantus ,novalog and a new one Victoza.I was told to use my Lantus at bedtime .Did your Doc say anything about taking it at bedtime.Also the victoza really helps dring down my #s.but my a little worried about the side affects they say it may cause and it is very expensive.
I hope this does the trick for you.
Good news.
Guardian stone
i just started on lantus so i' still in the adjustments for a while but i am encouraged this will work. i have heard good thing s about lantus and it seems to be working for a lot of you.
I have been on Lantus for three months now. I started on ten units at bedtime. After the first week I faxed my numbers to the Doctor and then the nurse would call me and tell me to increase my dose by five units. This continued until my numbers started to go into the normal range, I am now on forty units. I have also lost twenty five pounds since starting on Lantus. I am working on my diet trying to get rid of my bad habits and working out. I usually have a little setback on the weekends.
Great job! I'm Glad to hear lantus is working well for you! I Hear that the doctor starts out with a low dose then moves up too larger doses. He has also started me on a low dose.I Did have to use my humulin yesterday along with lantus so my doctor will likely be moving up my dose next visit also.some days I only need lantus. I Really like that it doesn't peak like other insulin. For The first time in a long time I've seen great numbers! I'm Really excited I think this will work out well for me!
i too am on lantus i take 32 units at night and during the day i am on the sliding scale with humalog. it is working but sometimes it runs like 105 which is a good thing but because i am so use to it being in the 200 which is a bad thing i get nervous thinking the 100s is low- so confused, just diagnosed in july.
i hear you, just was diahnosed in July. When I went into the emergency room my blood sugar was 790…now when I am at 100 i freak!!
I know what your saying! I do the same thing! Im also still on my sliding scale of humulan. I get nervous when I see my loewe numbers too I'm not used to them either! Its Funny isn't it!
I am lucky that they caught this early, The lantus seems to be working great. I test three times a day and all been in normal range for the past two weeks. I lost another few pounds by going to gym 5x a week.
Great Job! So your new on lantus too? I'm glad its working well for you.
Same with me! I couldn't even look when the doctor gave me shots but once I gave myself my first shot it was so easy and then when I got put on the pen wow! Super Ready and totally painless! I was amazed! I just love the solo star pen! Such a small needle!
Me too, I hate needles. Can you believe that I worked fifteen years in the back of an ambulance? I can start an IV on anyone but just never could stand the idea of getting stuck with one. I also was on dialysis for three years before getting a kidney transplant the nurse always tried to get me to do my own needle sticks but I was adamant about saying no.
To make a long story short when the nurse was teaching me how to give myself a shot I thought to myself O boy here I go. I did not want to look like a wimp so I just inserted the needle and to my surprise it did not hurt at all. But at times there is a little discomfort and once I hit a nerve which stung just a very little bit and my reaction was that I pulled the needle out and I thought that was dumb because I had to stick myself twice:).
Im like you, I HATE needles. I work in a Dr's office now and an ER for 4 years. I could look at anyones blood but if i saw mine i was on the floor. Its funny how we are like that. I guess its just normal.
I Worked in dentistry for a long time and asembled thousands of needles but when it came to assembling mine it scared me at first too! Now its not a problem but at first I doubted if I could do it. Its Funny how we just get used to things we have to do isn't it !
Glad to see that at last something is finally working for you. I am very lucky because after I stopped eating bread, pasta, potatoes, corn, cracker, cereals, oatmeal, snacks, chips and most products that had more than 5-6 net carbs per serving and by drinking lots of water and eating salads and low carb vegetables, my numbers all came down to normal levels in less than 2 months.
I was able to stop using meds and have never had to use insulin. I have been meds free for over a year and a half now. I have found that almost everyone who has gotten their blood sugar under control and no longer need meds have done similar things to control there blood sugar. I believe if people follow a low carb diet and test before and after each meal along with some kind of exercise can also control their blood sugar without meds or insulin. I was hoping you would be able to do it also.
But no matter, there will always be people whose pancreas is damaged beyond a certain level and will need to use insulin for controlling there blood sugar. If I ever lose control and for some reason can't get it back, I will be looking to you, to help me with the insulin thing. I took orals for 7 weeks and had such a hard time with them I swore I would never use them again. For me its either diet and exercise or insulin. Nothing else.
I am a type 1 diabetic and all I use for now is Lantus. I really like it. I hope it helps with your sugars and Good Luck :]
- monica
Thank you. I really seem to be responding well to lantus so far. I had my very first good reading after dinner tonight! I usually would have to inject after dinner my sliding scale insulin but not tonight! I was so happy that my lantus worked all day for me!
Lantus seems to be working for me also! The doctor lowered my shot from 15 to 12 and this seems to be working out. I only have to take one shot per day, at bed time.
Its Working so well so far I've only had to use my sliding scale insulin only once! I went from three shots a day too one! I'm Looking really good on my numbers ! I'm so excited finally something is working and preventing highs! Im not just chasing highs anymore
I have used it
It didnt work very well for me but I m resistant
Let me know how it gose
Best wishes
Hi harlen! It.seems to be working great so far! I didn't have to use my other insulin yesterday and I was.amazed. After dinner I was 115! I've never been that good after dinner ! I'm usually in the 200 range! I could not believe it I checked twice to make sure I was reading it correctly! I just hope it continues because one shot A day is great I was taking three! So we will see.

Better learning comes from sharing real life experiences with mental illness
We have been reducing the stigma and educating the public about mental health since 1993.
We provide face-to-face contact with volunteers who are living with mental illness.
The number of young people reporting probable serious mental illness has risen from 18.7 per cent to 22.8 per cent in the four years to 2016.*
The top three issues of concern are 1) coping with stress, 2) school or study problems, and 3) depression.
MIEACT is funded by the ACT Government to deliver mental health training in the ACT's schools and colleges, and we offer a range of evidence-based programs tailored for school age students that are mapped to the Australian National Curriculum.
Underpinning the success and positive impact of our programs, are the personal stories of our highly trained volunteer educators with lived experiences of mental health issues. Your students will hear how our volunteers manage and recover through the cyclical nature of mental illness. They will receive a take home resource to assist in maintaining wellness and where to seek help, if needed.
To support better student learning achievements, we also offer programs for teachers as part of their professional development through the school year.
For workplaces
And with one in five Australians experiencing some form of mental health issue, you may also be interested in one of our workplace programs to support colleagues with mental health issues.

The Imagination Station
Logo Color Design Project
Over the past few weeks we've had the pleasure of working with a local early learning center called Imagination Station. Their company has two locations based in Snoqualmie and North Bend, WA. They first approached us for help with designing a new modern website to represent their company and brand.
As we always do when starting a new website design project, we asked if they already had a logo design for the company. It's very common for our clients to need a new logo design to complement their new website. But in this case we were pleasantly surprised to find they already had a great logo design in hand. There was just one small problem… the logo was completely monochromatic (one color) and using a color that was out of gamut (not a proper CMYK color).
Despite their logo having a great design, it lacked a color design; and color is one of the most important ingredients in any successful logo. We knew that in order to design their website that their logo would have to have an attractive color palette. In fact, the company logo is almost always the single source of color inspiration when we're designing a website. With this in mind we recommended a Logo Color Design project so that we could improve this otherwise fantastic logo.

With the race between Texas Gov. George W. Bush and Vice President Al Gore perhaps the closest since 1960, the heightened drama has broadcast and cable networks anticipating strong ratings on election night.
As a result, CBS last week said advertising inventory was selling briskly for tomorrow night, with companies such as Compaq Computer Corp., Enron Corp., Fidelity Investments, Morgan Stanley Dean Witter & Co., T. Rowe Price and Samsung Electronics buying multiple units. Industry analysts said networks have been selling 30-second prime-time units for $50,000 to $200,000, depending on the hour of the broadcasts that could go into the early morning hours.
"The fact that there is an actual horse race here [is great]. You'd have to go back to 1960 for this," said Mike Nowacki, VP of news and late-night advertising for CBS. "You are starting to see some people who were standing on the sidelines come in." Though the network was "getting close" to being sold out, inventory was available late last week.
The average prime-time spot goes for $271,000; the average prime-time show has an 8.1 rating, according to Nielsen, for the four major networks.
Overall, networks were feeling pretty good about their election night ad sales position. ABC has a deal with DamilerChrysler. NBC inked a big deal with Apple Computer. But Ford Motor Co., for the first time in many presidential elections, will not be a sponsor with NBC.
"We had success early," said Jim Hoffman, VP-sales for NBC News. "We had this sold since the conventions. We have more than met our plans." Other NBC advertisers include the National Association of Realtors, MasterCard International, Morgan Stanley, Samsung Electronics and Toyota Motor Sales USA.
CNN has five major sponsors: Akamai Technologies, DaimlerChrysler, Ditech Funding Corp., PaineWebber and Pharma, a trade organization for major pharmaceutical companies. All CNN sponsors get category exclusivity, billboards and an Internet presence on CNN.com (see related story above).
"There will be a lot of viewing on this," said Larry Goodman, president of advertising sales for CNN. "You are also going to have a longer duration of viewing, which translates into higher ratings."
Fox also hopes to make advertising gains as the network airs its first presidential election coverage. Marketing analysts said most of Fox's efforts are to help promote its Fox News cable network.
Election returns are must-see TV for many voters, but that doesn't mean a network can count on having viewers all night.
"There is going to be more interest," said Doug Seay, senior VP-director of national broadcast for Publicis & Hal Riney, New York, "But it will be dissipated across all the major news outlets."
Added Donna Speciale, senior VP-national broadcast for Grey Global Group's MediaCom, New York: "I don't think ratings are going to be much higher. Given the landscape vs. 1996, there are too many places for viewers to go."
Hoping to combat this, CBS' Mr. Nowacki said most advertisers have not only bought multiple units but also have TV billboards that start each news segment when election coverage returns from commercial breaks. "They are basically looking for a visible presence," he said.
For the broadcast networks, election coverage typically skews older, more affluent and male than other prime-time viewing. This draws in financial, automotive and corporate advertisers. CNN's Mr. Goodman said his network actually skews a bit younger on election night.
Because of the similarity of programming, analysts tend to view this night from an overall viewpoint. Nielsen Media Research calculates combined ratings for the networks on major election nights, and has included CNN in the data since 1996.
For that presidential election, the four networks and CNN posted a 25.8 rating/42 share, which was down significantly from the 1992 three-network average 39.8 rating/57 share. The 1992 election saw a close race between first-time presidential candidate Bill Clinton, Vice President George Bush and Ross Perot. That year was also the first time ratings increased over the previous presidential election night since Nielsen started keeping tabs in 1960.
Networks look to improve numbers from the miserable ratings in the 1996 presidential election. In 1996, ABC pulled in a Nielsen 7.4 rating, down 28% from 1992; NBC grabbed a 5.8, off 35%; and CBS posted a 4.9, a fall of 48%. CNN scored an 1.8, down 49%.
Pharmaceutical marketers, one key to making the night a success, "were loath to be in news coverage where every sound bite, in and around a period of time, from the Al Gore camp was a negative story," said one network advertising executive.
"We will not project winners from exit polls, but we'll project winners from key precincts," said an ABC News spokesman. This could keep people watching into the early morning hours.
"We have a lot of interest in late-night coverage [from advertisers] because people think the race will go late into the night," said CBS' Mr. Nowacki. "People have actually wanted to be in spots post-11:30 p.m." The network, he added, is sold out between 11:30 p.m. and 2 a.m. ET.

text: Robin Roberts Returns to GMA: 'All Is Right' Popular host back after bone marrow transplant By Matt Cantor, Newser User Posted Feb 20, 2013 8:28 AM CST 5 comments Comments This Aug. 20, 2012 file photo released by ABC shows co-host Robin Roberts during a broadcast of "Good Morning America," in New York. (AP Photo/ABC, Donna Svennevik, File) (Newser) – Seems Robin Roberts is as good as her word: She's back on Good Morning America this morning following a nearly six-month absence for a bone marrow transplant. "I keep pinching myself and I realize that this is real. This is really happening," Roberts said. "Faith, family, and friends have brought me to this moment and I am so full of gratitude." Ahead of her return she thought, "All is right in the world. It's gonna seem like no time has passed at all." Industry analysts had questioned whether she'd ever return to the job, but she's back in time for the Oscars. Last year's awards marked the beginning of her feeling unwell, and she hoped to be back in time for the 2013 edition. Roberts is the best-loved of all the morning news hosts, according to industry data, and her return could help GMA stay ahead of Today in ratings, the New York Times notes. And even while she was gone, she was far from forgotten: GMA hosts referred to her at least once each half-hour, the Times adds.

Sappy Clichés Don't Work, or Do They?
"We're all more capable than we think we are."
"The sun will come out tomorrow."
"When life hands you lemons, make lemonade."
"Put on a happy face."
Nothing is more annoying than a handful of trite clichés when you are battling adversity and would really prefer a little sympathy. But these Pollyanna-like clichés point out that it is far more healthy to develop the ability to bounce back from adversity than it is to remain mired in misfortune.

Q. Have you ever attended a city council or school board meeting?
I have not attended either, but now that my kids are in school, I'm sure I will be more aware and perhaps more interested to attend.
Q. What is your super power, and how do you use it?
My super power is seeing the future. I place a lot of bets on sports and it helps me to win.
Q. What's the best advice a teacher, friend or family member has ever given you?
The best advice anyone has given me or will ever give me, is to be the best father I could possibly be. Especially my parents, they have taught me to provide and to genuinely be there for my children.
Q. Where do you see yourself in five years, and why?
I hope to see myself pursuing something in sports journalism. I've always been a huge sports fan and would love the opportunity to work more in the field.

The Bald Guy Voting for Hillary
Trending: Former Australian Politician Gives Life to Christ at 85 After Lifetime of Atheism
A bald guy at a party who should have known better,
Trailing liberal naiveté like dog doo,
Told me that he was voting for Hillary.
I took out my gun and shot him.
Does that make me a bad person?
Or just an imaginary killer?
He died.
Or didn't.
I have the imagination of a dog biscuit.
His progressive ideas lived on in a suspicious hole
With donkeys that washed their asses with our money.
Communism borrows.
Capitalism creates.
Obama put us eighteen trillion dollars in debt.
He treats our money like a nouveau riche's bank account.
How do we stop the Democrats from spending other
People's money?
How do we stop coyotes from raping Mexican girls
As they sneak across our non-existent fence?
How do we stop Hillary and Obama from writing love poems
To Syrian Muslims in suicide vests?
How do we stop them from boasting about
The beauty of the Muslim morning call to prayer.
The Democrats talk about the peacefulness of Muslims.
They must be talking about their dead bodies floating in fire.

While sport often dominates headlines in Australia, experts want more focus on head knocks and their long-term impact.
While sport often dominates headlines in Australia, experts want more focus on head knocks -- an "invisible injury" sometimes dismissed as a badge of honour in a macho culture -- and their long-term impact.
A driver of change could be James McManus's legal action against the Newcastle Knights, in which he claims his former club breached their duty of care to him over several years.
The ex-winger alleges he was encouraged or allowed to keep playing after sustaining concussions, Fairfax Media reported. A brain injury prematurely ended his career.
"It's one of those things where I know players are suffering with things and are probably unaware that concussions are the cause of it," the 31-year-old said in February after launching his case.
"You don't want to be in the position where you are the first to do something, but I think things have to change in the game, there's no doubt about that."
Concussion campaigner and veteran Australian Football League (Aussie Rules) player agent Peter Jess has launched a website urging former athletes to come forward, which could spark class actions or individual lawsuits.
"I've worked for over 1,000 players and they were young, healthy men when they first started," Jess told AFP.
"I'm now seeing them as a range of damaged individuals in their 40s and 50s."
Awareness about concussion in sport has grown since America's National Football League agreed to a US$1 billion settlement in 2015 to resolve thousands of lawsuits by former players suffering from neurological problems.
In sports-mad Australia, various codes including rugby union, rugby league and cricket have sought to boost their protocols on the issue.
Recent measures include the NRL fining three clubs a total of Aus$350,000 (US$268,000) -- the heaviest ever issued -- for failing to follow concussion rules in games this season.
The Australian Rugby Union is trialling a system where players showing signs of concussion are shown a blue card and sent off for the remainder of the match. They cannot play again until given a medical all-clear.
Meanwhile, Cricket Australia is pushing for concussion substitutes in international games, a rule they introduced for domestic matches following the death of batsman Phillip Hughes after he was hit by a bouncer in 2014.
But experts say codes need to go further, such as using an independent doctor to assess on-field injuries alongside a club's medical officer, who could be biased or busy tending to others when a head knock occurs.
The issue was highlighted recently when English NRL star Sam Burgess played for some minutes with suspected concussion before he was withdrawn, as the team doctor was reportedly checking on one of his South Sydney team-mates.
"I think the New Zealand protocol with rugby union where they have an independent concussion assessment by a second doctor who is available at the field is a good one," Sydney-based neurosurgeon Richard Parkinson told AFP.
"That avoids any potential bias and makes sure that every player from each team is assessed in the same way."
Concussion occurs when blow to the head or body causes the brain to move in different directions quickly.
Most concussions do not result in a loss of consciousness, and the injury often doesn't show up on brain scans.
As a result, current sideline tests rely on feedback from a patient through simple cognitive tasks such as reciting numbers backwards, making their results subjective.
Biological tests, viewed as more objective, have yet to be formally introduced, although researchers are exploring the viability of procedures such as brain stimulation, eye movement tests and impact sensors.
A lot is still unknown about concussion, and there are growing calls for independent research, particularly when the link between the traumatic brain injury and long-term health woes is still contentious.
Last year, US lawmakers found the NFL attempted improperly to influence a major study into links between the sport and brain disease, raising impartiality questions about research funded by sporting bodies.
Neurophysiologist Alan Pearce, who advocates independent research, recently put 25 retired NRL players through cognitive tests and found their brains more damaged than a control group with no history of concussion or playing contact sport.
"We are also trying to look at the acute aspects... when is someone ready to come back to training and playing competitively," Pearce told AFP.
"If we are able to manage that part properly, then the long-terms risks are reduced noticeably."
Pearce is part of an athlete-driven concussion working group set up by major Australian sporting codes last year to change cultural attitudes and push for an independent national study.
"It's not about bringing sport to its knees," Australian Athletes' Alliance chief Ian Prendergast told the Herald Sun this month.
"In my view we protect sport more than we currently are if we can find out additional information about the impact of concussions... it's something we should be all embracing."

Dynavax Technologies announced that the FDA approved its vaccine Heplisav-B for the prevention of infection caused by all known subtypes of hepatitis B virus in adults age 18 years and older. The company noted that the product "is the first new hepatitis B vaccine in the [US] in more than 25 years and the only two-dose hepatitis B vaccine for adults."
According to Dynavax, approval of Heplisav-B was based on data from three late-stage studies that included nearly 10 000 patients who received the vaccine. The trials compared Heplisav-B administered in two doses over one month to GlaxoSmithKline's Engerix-B administered in three doses over a six-month schedule. Results from one of the studies showed that Heplisav-B had a significantly higher rate of protection of 95 percent compared with 81 percent for Engerix-B.
FirstWord Reports: Providing insight, analysis and expert opinion on important Pharma trends and challenging issues <Click here> [1]
In August, the FDA delayed [2] a final decision regarding the approval of Heplisav-B after requesting additional information regarding its post-marketing study for the vaccine. The decision came after an FDA advisory panel voted [3] the previous month in favour of approval of Heplisav-B for use in adults. The regulator had declined [4] to approve Heplisav-B in 2016, in part due to a numerical imbalance in the incidence of cardiovascular events between the arms of one clinical study, while the therapy was previously rejected [5] over safety issues.
According to Dynavax, it expects to commercially launch Heplisav-B in the US in the first quarter of 2018. Commenting on the approval, RBC Capital Markets analyst Matthew Eckler said "our read of the label looks like a best-case scenario, with no red flags around safety." Eckler added "given Hepislav's superior efficacy and convenience profile, we continue to see potential to grow the current hep B vaccine market…through increased compliance, premium pricing and the capture of adult diabetic population, resulting in $300 million projected peak revenue."
Heplisav-B combines hepatitis B surface antigen with Dynavax's Toll-like receptor agonist to enhance the immune response.

DOVER — The roads were a little hairy Sunday from the snow, but inside the Dover Middle School, it was distinctly furry.
DOVER — The roads were a little hairy Sunday from the snow, but inside the Dover Middle School, it was distinctly furry.
The New Hampshire Feline Fanciers' eighth winter cat show at the school drew more than 200 cats and their owners.
NHFF member and publicity worker Carol Babel was showing her Egyptian Mau short-haired cat, who was aiming for the six "winner" ribbons necessary to get into the championship category. She said all cats are judged under the category of either long hair or short hair on a 100-point scale, with features such as markings or coloration receiving different weight depending on the breed.
"The judges see which cat meets its breed standards very closely," Babel said. "Really, it's all about the cats."
Babel said a tremendous amount of work and experience goes into breeding, which she has done for 18 years.
Judge Sharon Roy of Manchester said she has traveled to Japan, Germany, Holland and France in her capacity as a feline watcher. Keeping up with what defines a champion cat can be difficult, she said.
"Every breed has a standard, so it's an ongoing education. The look you're striving for may not be the same as it was 30 years ago," she said.
In addition to the competition, there were many vendors on site with kitty-related wares, professional cat photographer Jim Child of Pennsylvania was on hand, and catering fed the guests. Child estimated he took about 500 photos over the weekend, which will be used as the official photos for those cats who end up nationally registered.
"The fun part is playing with the cats, honestly," he said.
For some, the scene was an amusing one. Portsmouth residents Audrey Marshall, Rachel Haskovec and Randy Gurski wandered the show floor looking for a possible breed for Haskovec, who succinctly described the hustle and bustle.
"It's humorously intense," she said.

Yes, science is important to study, because science improves our quality of life in such a profound way. Science has developed medicine. Even the science of hand washing has drastically improved how long we live. Science allows us to design building, to improve medicine, to make it possible to live in places where humans couldn't survive without technology. Science is awesome.
Science has a very important role to play in every aspect of our lives, our health, our general well-being, the technological advances we make which enable us to meet the challenges we face (I don't think I could come up with anything which does not benefit from dialogue with the natural sciences).
I would even go as far as arguing that science, more than religion and philosophy, can help us understand how we fit into the grand scheme of things and thus help us to develop coping strategies. I don't say we do not need Art, Philosophy, Mathematics, History and so on, all the disciplines have something of value to contribute and serve to enrich our lives, but, if I was the Director of some school where funding was to be radically cut and I had to make some tough choices, I would fight for science to the bitter end and I would sacrifice other subjects.

FORT LAUDERDALE — Benefactors of the city`s new Museum of Art got a chance to view the fruits of their generosity Monday night while honoring a man who made a $1.5 million donation.
The biggest donor to the building fund is Robert T. Williamson, a Fort Lauderdale resident who owns the largest Texaco distributorship in the southeastern United States. Museum officials have named the 262-seat auditorium in his honor.
``Fort Lauderdale is a small city that`s growing into a big city, but it still has a small city atmosphere,`` said Williamson, who also has built shopping centers and restaurants.
``You can walk down the street and see people you know. It`s nice living here,`` he said.
Originally, the auditorium was going to be named after both Williamson and his wife, Victoria. But she put her foot down and told him it should carry his name alone.
``He`s the one that made all the money,`` she said. ``I had nothing to do with it.``
About 500 people sipped champagne and nibbled on hors d`oeuvres at a reception in the $7.5 million, two-floor museum at East Las Olas Boulevard and Andrews Avenue. A musical backdrop for art viewing was provided by a string duet and a harpist.
Dressed in a white shirt and black suit and tie, museum security guard Norman Herblaw mingled inconspicuously with the art lovers.
Herblaw, 70, used to be the assistant head of security at Fort Lauderdale- Hollywood International Airport. Now he`s happily getting used to his new surroundings.
``I don`t know much about art,`` Herblaw said. ``Some people like this and some people like that. But I`ll tell you, it`s all a great gift for the city of Fort Lauderdale.
The opening exhibit of modern paintings and sculpture from some of the best- known artists in the country can be seen starting Jan. 18, when the museum opens to the general public.
