Signum Dermalogix Investigational New Drug (IND) Application Cleared by FDA: SIG990 a Potential Treatment for Rosacea
Jul 08, 2013, 12:35 ET
PRINCETON, N.J., July 8, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Signum Dermalogix, Inc. ("Dermalogix") a private biopharmaceutical company focused on developing new and innovative dermatological products and services announced that its Investigational New Drug (IND) Application to evaluate SIG990 in rosacea has been cleared by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
SIG990 is a safe topical treatment that addresses both erythema and inflammatory lesions and thus would be a significant and potentially better therapeutic option for rosacea patients then what is currently on the market. SIG990 is an isoprenylcysteine (IPC) analog that modulates toll-like receptor (TLR) and G-protein signaling demonstrating promising results in several in vitro cell based assays and efficacy in in vivo topical inflammatory animal models.
Instrumental in the pre-clinical development of SIG990 was funding from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) via an SBIR grant. Dr. Eduardo Perez, VP of R&D and Business Development stated, "We thank NIAID for their support of this program. We would not have been able to perform the critical safety, pharmacology and manufacturing required without this grant support."
As a new chemical entity, SIG990 recently had composition of matter IP awarded (US Patent Application No. 12/566,839). Maxwell Stock, CEO of Dermalogix, commented, "We continue to make significant progress and are well-positioned to advance the development of our IPC compounds in dermatology. I look forward to moving SIG990 into the clinic to assess its efficacy in human subjects."

The National Western Stock Show pulls into Denver again soon
To celebrate the opening of the 107th National Western Stock Show, we've dug into the files for some colorful coverage from the past. Posted here are pages from Empire magazine published January 11, 1970, the 64th year of the show.
[media-credit id=471 align="aligncenter" width="495″][/media-credit]
Western artist Phil Hayward's vibrant paintings show the body action of the horses, riders and animals in graphic colors and shapes. Note the texture of the steers' hides and dust kicked up by their hooves. Every living being is straining at top speed, working for, or against, horse and rider. He has captured the real cowboys and working stock that perform each year when the National Western arrives in Denver.

Carbon footprint
We have implemented a life cycle approach to product development that takes into account materials, design, supply chain, manufacturing, logistics, product use and end of life treatment of our products.
Since the establishment of the company, we have focused on the following areas:
- Substance control for substances with potential issues for production, recycling or landfills.
- Reduction of the life cycle carbon footprint of our products.
In 2014-2015 , we commissioned a detailed Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) on one of our flagship models Xperia Z5. The LCA includes the extraction of raw materials, manufacturing of components, inbound and outbound transportation, utilization and end-of-life treatment for a mobile phone with a 3 year lifespan. The impact of our offices and travel were also included and split on an annual basis to be included as part of the overhead for phone production. The study calculates the Global Warming Potential (GWP) for an Xperia Z5 including accessories to 57 kg CO2e for an assumed operating life time of 3 years, excluding the network usage[1]. . This is equivalent to driving 300 xxx km in a typical family car.
The study resulted in a parameter model built on the results of the LCA. The model has since been updated and we use this model to evaluate our products' carbon footprints and to identify improvement areas in the life cycle of the phones.
In general high-end phones, such as smartphones, produce more greenhouse gases in production than low-end phones. The new strategy is an added challenge for us, but we are committed and are focusing our efforts to minimize the impact through life cycle analysis.
*The effect of the various greenhouse gases is measured by converting them into so-called CO2 equivalents. One CO2 equivalent equals the effect of the emission of 1 kilogram of CO2.

Do you like free lunches? Then making asset allocation the focus of investing is for you.
A diverse allocation of stocks and bonds, it turns out, is a proven way to earn more over the long haul without putting extra dollars at risk. Throw in a smattering of real estate and commodities and you can improve your risk-return profile even further.
Another reason to make asset allocation the crux of your investment planning is that the classes of assets you own--not the specific securities within them--determine more than 90% of long-term returns, according to TIAA-CREF.
Suppose you decide to own large-cap European stocks. That decision alone will be responsible for $9 of every $10 that you make or lose. Your choice of owning
How do you set up and maintain an asset allocation that's right for you? That depends on your age, objectives, income, savings and risk tolerance. If you're wealthy and young, you might want to play it relatively safe. If you're retired but hoping to pass assets onto your heirs or charity, it might make sense to assume considerable risk.
"The most common misconception about asset allocation is that it's a function of your age," says William Droms, a finance professor at Georgetown University and partner in Droms Srauss Advisors. "It's a function of your circumstances and particular situation."
While there are no absolute answers, savers who are decades from retiring should generally take on more risk, in the form of owning a heavy concentration of equities. As you get closer to quitting work and your investment time horizon shortens, it usually makes sense to migrate into less risky assets, like bonds.
John C. Bogle, the founder of Vanguard Group, has advised that investors hold bonds in proportion to their ages. Thirty year-olds, for instance, would be 30% in bonds and 70% in stocks; 80-year-olds would own 80% bonds and 20% stocks. To set your allocation, play around with at least a few of the retirement calculators offered online by fund firms, like Fidelity and Vanguard as well as ESPlanner and AARP.
Once you've come up with a formula, consider committing it to paper. Then invest your 401(k) or other savings to maintain your ratio and rebalance once a year. Suppose you're 50 and decided some years ago that you want half your savings in stocks, but the past year's rally has kicked up that ratio to 55%. A written plan will help you tune out the market's recent bullishness and stick to your long-term allocation by selling winners until you're back on track.
Individual circumstances are often too complex to boil down to one-size-fits-all rules. The following, however, should offer some guidance in setting asset allocations for investors of every age.
Young Adults: If you're in your 20s or 30s, there are two things you can do to make your future more prosperous--save and invest wisely. Saving early in your career is especially powerful because every dollar put away now will have decades to compound.
"All of our analysis shows the biggest impact on whether people have successful retirements is how much they save," says Jerome Clark, portfolio Manager of the T. Rowe Price Retirement Funds. "Everything else, including asset allocation, is secondary."
The fund company recommends that investors try to save the equivalent of 15% of their gross incomes annually (that includes employer contributions to 401(k) plans). That's nearly double the level at which T. Rowe's own relatively upscale clients are squirreling away assets.
The best place to invest early in your career is in growth. That means a heavy weighting toward stocks. For those with more than 25 years until retirement, a portfolio that's 90% stocks makes sense, in T. Rowe Price's view.
Fortunately, there are many easy ways to get this exposure. They include target date mutual funds, index funds that own anything from one industrial sector to the entire world, like the Vanguard Total World Stock Index Fund (VTWSX) and exchange-traded funds like the MSCI All Country World Index (ACWI). However you invest, aim to do so as cheaply and tax-efficiently as possible.
Mid-Career Investors: Let's hope by the time you're in your 40s or 50s, you're sitting on a decent-sized nest egg. If not, consider increasing your savings rather than owning a high-risk, high-return portfolio.
Either way, it's time to consider playing it safer with your asset allocation. That means reducing your heavy weighting to equities. It's also important to maximize the value of what you've already achieved. You can do so by making the most out of your 401(k) and considering whether to convert your Individual Retirement Account into a Roth. (See: "10 Reasons To Convert To A Roth IRA")
As you increase your exposure to bonds, pay special attention to tax efficiency. It often pays to shield interest income by tucking bonds into a tax-deferred account. If your tax-deferred accounts can't hold all the bonds your asset allocation plan says you should own, consider buying municipal bonds that are sheltered from state and federal taxes for a taxable account.
Late Career Investors and Retirees: A generation ago it was common for workers to retire at 65 with a pension for life. The financial realities of retirement are far different these days. Individuals are now largely responsible for financing their own retirements (with an indefinite boost from Social Security). That, combined with longer lifespans, creates a risk of out-living their money that few Americans fully grasp.
How much risk? For a couple retiring this year, with both partners age 65, there's a greater than 50% chance one will live another quarter-century to age 90. The chances one partner will live to age 95--1 in 4.
The need to finance retirements for decades, instead of years, or the desire to leave a legacy to one's kids and grandkids, means people nearing or in retirement must invest for growth as well as for income.
Droms has one 80-year-old client 75% in equities. That's because her own needs are modest and her goal is to leave assets to three sons in their 40s and her grandchildren.
"Her time horizon is the time horizon of her kids and their kids," Droms says.
That might make for some allocation headaches, but the pain may pay off for generations to come.

A renewed global effort in malaria control and elimination over the past decade has led to a substantial increase in basic research and significant advances in our understanding of the mechanisms underlying this complex disease. However, it is not always clear how such gains in knowledge will translate into improved strategies for the fight against malaria.
Written and edited by experts in the field, this collection from Cold Spring Harbor Perspectives in Medicine explores recent developments in our understanding of malaria biology and their potential to influence malaria elimination/eradication strategies. The authors describe recent developments in their respective research areas and suggest both how these insights could guide intervention strategy and where critical knowledge gaps remain. Contributors discuss the unique features and challenges presented at key stages of the malaria life cycle and by different Plasmodium species, malaria transmission and its interruption, the challenge of drug resistance, the future of malaria vaccine strategies, epigenetic regulation of malaria-associated genes, and new approaches in malaria research, including genomics and modeling. They describe complex interactions of the malaria parasite with the human host, including disease pathogenesis, immune responses, and malaria in pregnancy. They also explore critical developments in vector biology, control, and insecticide resistance and in vector–parasite interactions, including the relationship between mosquito reproduction and parasite development.
The current state of each of these fields, their potential for impact on malaria elimination strategy and critical knowledge gaps, and next steps to achieve this are discussed. This volume is therefore a valuable reference for all scientists, clinicians, and public health professionals interested in understanding the state-of-the-art of malaria biology research and its critical role in our collective ambition to end this devastating disease.
J.C. Flowers Foundation grant gives practitioners in malaria-endemic areas access to a critical resource
Cold Spring Harbor, NY -- Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Press (CSHLP) today announced a grant from the J.C. Flowers Foundation (JCFF) to support the free eBook distribution of the research monograph, Malaria: Biology in the Era of Eradication. JCFF funding enables this newly published title to reach scientists, clinicians and care-givers throughout malaria-endemic areas such as Africa, Southeast Asia, and South America.
"As malaria is a global health priority that continues to affect millions of people worldwide, there is an urgent need for readily accessible research on the disease, especially when working with 'last mile' communities where it is often logistically or financially difficult to apply current research,"says Chris Flowers, founder of JCFF. "We are pleased to join with Cold Spring Harbor's publishing initiatives to further the efforts to eliminate this disease."
Malaria: Biology in the Era of Eradication is a new, critically important collection of papers edited by Dyann Wirth, Harvard School of Public Health, and Pedro Alonso, Director of the WHO Global Malaria Programme in Geneva, Switzerland. With contributions from more than two dozen scientists worldwide, the book brings together in a single volume the latest advances and emerging strategies in the fight against malaria. The eBook is available at no charge for download and unrestricted sharing via the CSHLP website in an interactive PDF format, which includes links to cited research and additional online resources. "The JCFF's invaluable support is making this important collection available to researchers and clinicians who are most in need of it,"says Dr. John Inglis, Executive Director and Publisher of CSHL Press. "Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory is grateful to partners such as JCFF for their help in advancing both biological research and the sharing of new knowledge with scientific and medical communities worldwide."

As you might expect of the first-ever Poet Laureate for the city and founder of Beyond Poetry LLC, Bellamy seeks to reach a broader audience. (Not that Burque doesn't enthusiastically support poetry, but he wants more than literati in attendance.) So when organizing the fundraiser to help bankroll the next poet laureate, instead of the usual reading by some critically lauded poet most of the public has never even heard of, Bellamy organized a show headlined by comedian Jamie Kilstein—a former slam poet and co-host of the politically irreverent news and comedy podcast "Citizen Radio." Kilstein has both ears and eyeballs around the globe, having appeared on "The Conan O'Brien Show," "Totally Biased," MSNBC, CNN and the BBC, played at the Sydney Opera House and opened for the band Bad Religion. His fans include Noam Chomsky and Janeane Garofalo, and his podcast, co-written with Allison Kilkenny, has covered topics largely ignored in the mainstream media, ranging from animal activists being labeled as domestic terrorists to tales of shady landlords.
But The Voting Machine Ate My Ballot and NOW WHAT!?!?, happening at ArtBar (119 Gold SW) on Friday, Nov. 15, isn't all Kilstein. It's a show about us in New Mexico. Opening with a "Daily Show"-esque comedy sketch written by locals Sarah Kennedy and Eric Griego, along with material from Bellamy, it also includes work from hip-hop artist/comedian Khalil Ekulona and comedy poet Rich Boucher. Kilstein still has some local connections, though, having performed in the Tricklock Company's Reptilian Lounge and the now-defunct Blue Dragon Coffee House, where Bellamy , a former journalist, was introduced to Kilstein's work.
That connection of community, politics, art and everyday life is vital for Bellamy. He believes this fundraiser is important for several reasons. The position of Poet Laureate isn't funded by the City of Albuquerque, and he'd like his successor to have increased support over the modest stipend of $2,000, in order to reach more members of the community by participating in events whose sponsors can't afford to pay an honorarium. "I've seen a change in me [since this appointment]," Bellamy says.
"What I realize is that we're all celebrating poetry in our own ways in our own space. I hope we've given these spaces and a way for people to connect and suggest poetry as a vehicle for improving community and their quality of life."

Runco DTV-991 CRT Projector
Wednesday, 01 April 1998
The Runco DTV-991 projector incorporates three 8" liquid-cooled CRT tubes for a super bright, high-resolution picture. The companion SC-4200, video processor, contains both a line quadrupler and a line doubler. Together this dynamic duo projects extraordinary video images with any type of source material.
Taking a drive down to Genesis Audio Video in Lake Forest, California (just south of Irvine) I was treated to a demonstration of the Runco combination in Genesis' new home theater room. Featuring Snell's THX speaker system, the room was powered by Proceed amplifiers and accompanied by the Proceed PAV preamp and DSD digital processor incorporating both Dolby Digital and DTS decoders.
The Runco DTV-991
Due to its 75 kHz horizontal scanning capability, the DTV-991 handles any video media including the newly adopted High Definition format and PC graphics. Several different aspect ratios and temperature settings can be programmed into its 100 memory locations. At Genesis Audio Video, they calibrated convergence for three different aspect ratios; 1.33:1, 1:85.1 and 1.78:1 Anamorphic (common to DVD and HDTV). Each was placed in memory for use with either the line doubler or the line quadrupler. These six separate settings (one pair for each aspect ratio) were smartly assigned to a single page of a Crestron touch screen remote control system.
The ability to color correct all three color tubes (red, green and blue) with the Runco DTV-991's proprietary AccuChroma color filter makes it possible for a qualified technician to achieve a perfect color balance. The DTV-991's Contrast Modulation adjusts the contrast level at different points to obtain a uniform white level across the entire screen. All calibrations require a qualified technician with the proper equipment, tools and most importantly, certification.
While the stated literature says the DTV-991 has an adjustable picture size from 60 to 300 inches (based on 4:3 aspect ratio), the factory doesn't recommend going beyond 100 inches. You'll end up overdriving the projector trying to get enough light on such a large screen. Additionally, the picture itself starts to suffer. The color tubes will burn out quicker and you risk the possibility of burning phosphors, which ruins color fidelity.
The DTV-991 provides RGB, composite and S-Video inputs. It does come with its own remote control, however most of the DTV-991's functions will likely be programmed into your touch screen remote system for superior integration and complete system control.
The SC-4200 Video Processor
Once you decide to move to this level of video performance, it's necessary to compliment the projector with a video processor. In this case, the processor is the Runco SC-4200, born out of a joint venture between Runco and Faroudja Labs. It contains both a line quadrupler (1050 lines per progressive scan) and a line doubler (525 lines per progressive scan).
Why do you need a doubler and a quadrupler in the same video system? Some sources, such as Laserdiscs and DSS programming benefit from the quadrupler while DVD sources tend to look much sharper with increased detail with only a line doubler inserted in the signal. This is why Genesis Audio Video calibrated each aspect ratio for use with either process.
The SC-4200 also incorporates two new Faroudja technologies. The Adaptive two-dimensional comb filter eliminates hanging dots (dot crawl) and cross color artifacts. The two-dimensional Spatial Detail Spectrum Expansion circuit maximizes picture resolution. Using information from three discreet video input lines, this circuit detects and emphasis small picture details without enhancing noise. This prevents hard edges, particularly around faces. Of course, the SC-4200 accepts component, composite and S-Video signals.
The Viewing Test
For my evaluation, I started out with Jurassic Park (Universal) using my promotional DTS-encoded DVD because it is such an extraordinary video transfer. When T-Rex feeds on the goat, then turns his head toward the car, it is so sharp you can see the droplets of water from the rain glistening off his nose. Moreover, shadow detail isn't lost in high contrast scenes. Skin tones are superb, revealing extreme details in facial features with a glass-like smoothness to the skin. Depth of field and resolution were astounding.
The Fifth Element (Columbia, Dolby Digital, DVD), is a movie intentionally shot with deep, super rich colors and is the perfect demo to show off the exceptional color accuracy of the DTV-991. On a projector this good, it becomes apparent that this movie is one of the better transfers to DVD, with substantial resolution, color saturation and remarkable depth of field.
During this demo, it became obvious that not all DVD's are created equal. The transfer can vary from one disc to the next, translating into less than a perfect picture. After the remarkable and stunning results from the previous DVD samples, The River Wild DVD (Universal) was a serious let down. Colors were pale, edges were over enhanced, facial details were soft, and depth of field was almost non-existent. This poor quality, however, was the result of a badly transferred DVD, not the projector as I received similar results on my reference video system at home with the same DVD.
The last sample used was the DTS-encoded Laserdisc of Casper (Universal). This may not be your favorite movie, nor is it mine, but it is one of the best transfers to Laserdisc available. However, even quadrupled, details in facial features were less distinct and skin tones, while excellent, didn't seem to radiate as they did on DVD. Color saturation was even and accurate, yet, noticeably flatter. Now this isn't to say there wasn't good depth of field. Actually, depth of field was very good, but it just didn't pop as magnificently as the DVD's we played earlier. Some blooming in super bright reds and yellows was mildly apparent, but if I had any qualms about DVD (in general) being a superior format to Laserdisc, all lingering doubts were eliminated during this demonstration.
The Runco DTV-991 and SC-4200 combo is a winner. Once properly calibrated for all the various media you will be using, this system will function seamlessly and flawlessly no matter what you view. However, like a good quality stereo system, a high quality video system will reveal even the most minute flaws of your video software.
The Downside
The high cost of the Runco DTV-991 and SC 4200 ($50,000 USD) is the most obvious downside to this truly high-end projector system. Super high performance video systems like the Runco DTV-991 and SC-4200 are not normally bought off the showroom floor and installed by do-it-yourselfer. A system of this magnitude absolutely must be installed by a properly qualified and Runco trained video technician, who could charge up to $400 to $750 a day. It is unlikely that the unit will require any major repairs for many years, like a tube replacement, but you may want to have your Runco specialist stop by once or twice a year, before your Super Bowl or Academy Awards party to professionally tune up your picture to ensure you receive 100 percent of the performance you invested in.
The Runco DTV-991 and SC-4200 combination MUST be on your short list of video systems whether your you have the budget to invest in it or not. An audition could be an almost `religious experience' for you. Rich colors, accurate skin tones, great depth of field, dark black tones... this Runco system does it all. At $50,000 it is a value for those who have or are designing a system that is priced near the lofty $100,000 plateau.
There are a few solutions that are more high end then the DTV-991/SC-4200 combo, for example: the Runco's top-of-the line 9 inch CRT, DTV-1000 ($48,000) and the Vidikron Vision One/Faroudja VP-400A combo ($75,000). These big gun video systems are capable of state-of-the-art video reproduction on even larger screens, yet even in most big dollar home theaters the Runco DTV-991 and SC-4200 package is going to make no excuses for its performance on screens 100 inches in diameter and smaller. Yes, $50,000 is a serious investment for a video playback no matter how many millions you have in the bank, but make no mistake the Runco DTV-991 and SC-4200 system is capable of transporting you to other worlds in a way that makes you believe your actually there. Forget the cineplex for a Friday night date, fire up your Runco and take a trip to "The Rock," "Jurassic Park" or wherever else your imagination may take you.

Membership in the centre extends to professors in several departments at Laurier and the University of Waterloo, and government research institutions in other provinces and the Northwest Territories. Current research by graduate students, professors and research scientists associated with the centre focus on cold regions hydrology, glaciology, geomorphology, and resource management in diverse cold regions environments including Pakiistan, the Canadian Arctic and subarctic, Alaska and the Yukon, the Rocky Mountains and the northern temperate region of Ontario's Canadian Shield.
The International Migration Research Centre
The International Migration Research Centre serves as a focal point for debate, research, policy analysis and proposal development related to international migration and mobility on the global, national and regional scale.
Laurier Centre for Military Strategic and Disarmament Studies
The Laurier Centre for Military Strategic and Disarmament Studies (LCMSDS) was founded in 1991 to foster research, teaching and public discussion of military and strategic issues of national and international significance. The research activities of the centre are multidisciplinary, with concentrations in military history and in the strategic analysis of defence operations, including peacekeeping and arms control. The strategy component emphasizes the use of formal methods to analyze strategic problems and find practical solutions. The history component focuses on the armed forces of Canada and the conflicts in which they have been engaged. The LCMSDS supports, as well, classroom teaching and other educational activities in several departments, including history, mathematics and political science.
Laurier Institute for the Study of Public Opinion and Policy (LISPOP)
The Laurier Institute for the Study of Public Opinion and Policy studies issues pertaining to the creation, use and representation of public opinion in the policy process. The institute serves as a catalyst to promote individual and collaborative research on these issues. In addition, the institute monitors the practices and claims of the of the public opinion and interest group industries, and serves as an educational resource to the university and the larger community on questions and issues pertaining to those claims and practices.
Laurier Institute for Water Science
The Laurier Institute for Water Science encourages multi-disciplinary, collaborative research in three interconnected water-related disciplines: Hydrological Sciences, Ecological and Biogeochemical Sciences, Public Policy and Management.
Viessman European Research Centre
The Centre fosters multidisciplinary research on new and dynamic issues facing Europe in the 21st century. Relevant topics of research include European integration, regional development, external linkages, trade and political expansion as well as other overarching socio-economic problems. The centre also focuses on the so-called accession countries, that is, the countries that recently joined the European Community and how they relate to the older established countries. Over time, there has been a substantial interest in Europe by Laurier faculty and students. The initial start for this centre occurred in 1992 when a number of Laurier professors formed an informal research interest group on Europe, which has worked with a similar interest group at the Phillipps University in Marburg, Germany, a partner institution of Laurier. The group has held a number of symposia over time, hosted guest lectures, and published a discussion paper series on Europe, lately as papers on the Internet.
Centre for Supply Chain Management
The Centre for Supply Chain Management (SMC), located within the School of Business & Economics (SBE), has the primary function of facilitating and coordinating research in supply chain management. The Centre ensures regular and useful communication between researchers and practitioners including strategic decision makers in supply chain management. The purpose of each communication (seminars/conferences/roundtables) is to ensure that relevant topics are well researched and the researched findings are disseminated in timely fashion to those who can use them. Related activities of the Centre include assisting in the development of education materials (BBA/MBA/PhD levels) and training initiatives with the Laurier community.
Financial Services Research Centre
The School of Business & Economics formed the Financial Services Research Centre to promote research on Canadian Capital Markets and Financial Institutions, and to develop stronger links between finance academics and practitioners in the financial sector.
Laurier Centre for Cognitive Neuroscience
In the 1960's, Cognitive Psychology emerged as one of the dynamic and fruitful areas of research in the behavioural sciences. Important models of memory, language, and perception, to name a few, were developed over the next 30 years. Although this work provided many important insights about the behavioural and computational processes underlying perception and cognition no account was made about how these processes were actually instantiated in the brain. To gain a complete understanding of how "people think" one needs to understand the brain processes that are ultimately responsible for the various processes identified by Cognitive Psychology.
Laurier Centre for Community Research, Learning, and Action
Centre for Community Research, Learning and Action (CCRLA) is a Research Centre within Laurier's Community Psychology program, in the Faculty of Science. CCRLA partners with organizations and communities to promote understanding and action on community issues.

The funeral mass for the first person I ever knew to have multiple sclerosis took place today. She lived a good life, a happy life, a full life. She's remembered today for her love of family, of friends, and of travel. Goldine's life with MS taught me much — likely far more than she would have ever known. Her love of travel in particular (oft with one of her daughters to help) made me look at my life with MS differently from the start. And today, in her honor, I state plainly that MS didn't "give" us anything. If there is goodness in our life after MS that wasn't there before; we took it!
MS is a sly and evil thief. I'll never give it the power of saying 'MS gave me…' and I think that if we do say something like that, we give too much credit to the disease and not enough to ourselves.
My doctor helped me with that one too. "Well," I once said to him, "At least I'll have time to write a book." His response firmed my understanding of the difference between 'MS gave me…' and 'I took ______ from MS.'
"As long as you actually write the book, Trevis," was his retort (and I'm happy to say that it's almost done!)
MS didn't give you more time to enjoy the little things in life. You took the opportunity to love the minutia! This disease didn't make you more understanding of anything. You've made yourself a better person in spite (and there are fewer ways that "in spite" works so well) of what multiple sclerosis has taken from you, done to you, and how it has affected those around you.
We are stronger now than we were before MS. Not because MS made us strong, but because we stood up (or stayed seated) and said that for everything taken we would take back and make ourselves better than MS.
I'm not trying to say that we win every battle or that multiple sclerosis can be overcome with unicorn piss and butterfly farts. MS can wring us out, beat us down, chew us up, and spit us on the floor. It will only keep us down, however, if we don't take every opportunity to take something back from it.
I have learned so very much from the Life With MS Blog community. I learned that little bit from knowing a woman who took back everything she could from MS. I felt it my privilege to share it with you.
What have you taken back from MS?
Wishing you and your family the best of health.
Don't forget that you can also follow me via my Life With MS Facebook page and on Twitter.

(AP) — The mayor says United Airlines will repay $5.6 million in tax incentives the company received from Chicago to redevelop its downtown headquarters.
Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel's office said Monday that United also will forgo nearly $10 million in additional city grant money because it is leaving the site and consolidating its premises at Willis Tower. United is no longer eligible for that money. Emanuel called United's announcement "an incredible act of corporate citizenship."
United recently extended its lease at the Willis Tower, formerly the Sears Tower, through 2028. The lease includes more than 800,000-square-feet of space in the skyscraper. The company says it will have more than 4,000 employees at Willis Towers by the second quarter of next year.

Grains finished off the week strong with corn, wheat and beans all closing higher. The corn market was stronger throughout the day and settled December corn 11 ½ cents higher on the week. Much of corn's strength is follow-through buying from Thursday's USDA Supply and Demand Report. The report came back with a reduction in both 2009-10 ending stocks and also reduced stocks for the 2010-2011 crop. The reason for the reduced stocks numbers is the increase in corn demand from the ethanol industry. The 2009-2010 corn demand for ethanol rose from 4.4 billion bushels to 4.55 billion bushels. Next year's demand rose from an estimated 4.6 billion bushels to 4.7 billion bushels. Below you will find a chart with all of the figures that were released from the USDA Supply and Demand Report. In our opinion we still need to be monitoring the daily weather runs to be sure that no weather concerns pop up. According to the weather sources that we monitor, the weather appears to be favorable for continued planting progress and growth. For producers that need to catch up on sales we feel that a rally back to the $3.75-$3.80 area in the December contract is a position to place orders. As I mentioned earlier, having resting orders in above the market is a good idea should we see a quick bounce from here. This week's exports were friendly and there have been rumors of more cargos sold to China. This is a good sign given the recent break in prices. It was clear this week that we found a level that enticed export business for US corn. We feel that we are well positioned at this time, if you have any questions about your position or need to look at strategies for further protection please give your broker a call.
Soybeans had a strong day to recapture much of the weakness we saw earlier in the week. The November contract finished 14 ½ higher on the day and 9 ¼ higher on the week. There was heavy bull spreading in the bean complex ahead of the USDA report and the last two days the market has been unwinding the spread. In our opinion the USDA report offered nothing friendly to the overall fundamental story for beans. Today's sharp bean rally mostly came in the last 20 minutes of the session following the corn/wheat rally. This is great for those who still need to get caught up on new crop sales. On another positive note we did see two announcements from the USDA this week, both of them were sales of 40,000 T of soyoil each to China for this year. We still feel that with a large South American crop coming online our export business will likely continue to decrease. Having orders in above the market will be a good idea to capture bounces in the market like the one we saw on the close today. If you are in need of a strategy to protect your soybean crop please get in touch with your broker to discuss the available strategies.
The wheat market saw a sharp rally today first in the Chicago wheat, followed by very large intra-day rally in the Minneapolis wheat. July Minneapolis was up as much as 37 ¾ cents but only finished 11 ½ higher on the day. The market has been beaten down more than corn/soybeans have over the last 30 days and we saw some short covering today. The USDA report showed this year's carryout down 20 million bushels as a result of our exports. Next year's production is estimated to be higher by 24 million bushels while an increase in feed demand by 10 million bushels was also reported. In our opinion we are still in a comfortable place with regard to where wheat stocks stand on a global level. We can still see a few swings like today but the fundamental picture still remains bearish in our opinion. For producers that are able to store wheat there are strategies to sell deferred futures and capture the carry that remains in the market. If you are not caught up to our recommended levels of protection, please call you broker to discuss your hedging opportunities going forward.

Evaluating transcripts (and more) brings student commendation
Summre Jones
As Transcript Evaluator in Records and Registration, Summre Jones might not be the obvious go-to person for confused, first-time Columbus State students. But her willingness to help out a baffled new transfer student earned her a nomination for Staff Employee of the Month. She received the award for the month of May in a ceremony held May 2, attended by her coworkers and supervisors.
Jones "took time out to show me where to find information on the website, how to get into a class already filled, what courses transferred and even helped me get my books," says student Charmain Fields. "Because I've never attended CSCC, I needed a lot of help! Summre was patient, helpful and timely with the information, even though it was not in her job description," says Fields. "I can always email her my questions and get a rapid response on where to go or who to talk to. By assisting me and educating me, Summre helped me be able to assist other students. And if I don't know the answer, I always refer them to Summre!"
Nominations sought for Quality Teams, Distinguished Full Professors
There's still time to nominate your team project or a faculty member who has achieved the rank of professor, for one of the Continuous Quality Improvement Awards that will be presented at the annual luncheon this year on August 1.
The Quality Team Awards are given to the members of a project team who have completed a process improvement during the past year and can show their results. Members of the first-place team divide a $4,000 award, and members of two second-place teams will earn $2,000 awards.
The Distinguished Full Professor Award, new last year, seeks nominations from the campus community of faculty members who have achieved the rank of full professor, and "who have continued to perform in an exemplary manner through service, scholarship, innovation, leadership and other professorial achievements." Cash awards are also given to the winners of this award. These nominations require only the name of the professor being nominated and should be sent to Carmelita Boyer in Human Resources via email at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Additional Open Enrollment meetings offered
The Human Resources Department has added two additional Open Enrollment meetings for the fulltime-benefit-eligible employees who were not able to attend one of the previous sessions. The meetings will be held on Monday, May 7, at 9:00 a.m. and again at 10:30 a.m. in WD Room 409.
The Open Enrollment period is for medical, dental, vision, life and flexible spending accounts (FSAs) for the year starting July 1, 2012. The Open Enrollment period ends on May 18, and all changes to your benefit elections must be received in HR by 4:30 p.m. Any changes made during the Open Enrollment period will be effective on July 1, 2012.
What is open enrollment?
Open enrollment refers to the period of time during which eligible fulltime employees have the opportunity to enroll in certain benefit programs. Open enrollment is generally only held once a year. If you miss your annual open enrollment, you likely will not be able to enroll in the employer-sponsored health plan until next year. Certain exceptions apply for new employees or employees with qualifying life-changing events.
This is your opportunity to learn about the benefit options available to full time employees at Columbus State so please take advantage of this time to attend one of the two meetings.

Two new art exhibitions open in the Library
William Hemming's portrait of King Lear (left), and a painting by Marvin Taylor (above).
Prior to the recently completed renovation of the Library, a monthly tradition was to exhibit the art works of local artists throughout the building. As a renewal of that tradition, the Library is proud to announce the opening of two new art exhibitions by local artists. Displayed on the Library's first floor are works by artist William Hemming. On the second floor, the works of Marvin Taylor are displayed along the walls of the eastside open gallery space. The Library is proud to partner with local artists to provide a venue for their works where they can be viewed by a larger audience.
Financial Aid notifications to be sent via email
The Office of Financial Aid will be changing the way students are notified about additional information needed once their 2012-2013 FAFSA forms have been received.

The priority deadline date for completing the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) for Autumn Semester is June 1, 2012. The FAFSA must be completed each year. Students have been reminded that if they plan to attend Autumn Semester, they should be sure to check their student email daily for updates and other important information about their upcoming enrollment and financial aid status.

The act of dipping your testicles into the open mouth of another person. Kind of like dipping a tea bag in and out of a cup of water.
I caught the mail man tea bagging my mom. She gagged.
You gotta love McLovin'! And to commemorate this awesome video, I give you three wearable teabag promoting tees! The first teabag tee is from JiNX and is a play on that annoying TV advertisement for HeaOn.Â
"This shirt serves as teabagging propaganda, urging gamers everywhere to squat and dip with wreckless abandon. It was inspired by what is possibly the most annoying commercial ever created. If this concept is new to you, simply lie prone, shut your eyes, close your mouth (or hey, keep it open!) and ask your closest male friend to demonstrate the technique."
The second teabag tee comes from Pocket Rocket Tees, a t-shirt company started by "two drunk college guys." Both of whom are male. You think they have any tea bagging experience?Â
And finally, a teabag tee that looks like it belongs on Threadless, courtesy of The Noobstore!Â

…too busy….can't breathe….
Nevertheless, I was excited to find a little range called Miss Nail Bar. It is a range of nail care products, made by Nails INC which is the grown up, pricy brand.
In Superdrug I found a cuticle nail pen for £1.99, top and base coats were £1.49. There were loads of cool useful little products for a bargain price, it still had the cool packaging that is very similar to Nails Inc.
I presume this is a range for tweens – but it works for us grown ups too!
The website is – www.missnailbar.com – it isn't working yet, but hopefully something will be up soon!

I took my APM2/Y6 out for its maiden today. At first, it seemed ok, a little wobbly, but this is only with a few PID iterations. Something just doesn't feel right though. After some forward flight in stabilize mode, if I return the elevator to neutral, the copter will pitch back drastically instead of levelling and if I try to give it forward elevator to resume forward flight, it will barely pitch forward. I am giving it full forward elevator but the copter is still basically level. If there was more than a 5mph headwind, there would be no coming back.
I take it my stabilize gains are too high, but I don't understand why it attenuates my elevator input so drastically.
I also set up my gear switch for RTL and the planner shows the correct mode when I switch, but nothing happens even after verifying I have a solid blue on the GPS.
Views: 534
Have you vibration insulated your board as instructed in the manual?
I used some futaba foam servo tape (double stacked), similar to how I had my APM1 mounted. Is the APM2 more sensitive to vibes?
What I do is hold the copter on one hand (be safe) and pressure it up neutral using the throttle. If your hand is not smooth with vibration(s) across the throttle positions you may have a balancing or other mechanical problem. I test each arm individual for vibration.
Yes, because it's lighter.
We'll be offering right-angle headers in the next batch, not this one.
Chris, is there ant ETA for the next batch?
i have been struggling with the same behaviour on my hexa with v2.3 - impossible to hold an angle against the wind and pronounced "rebound" after forward flight. for me the key to getting it stable has been setting stab_d to zero and working on tuning the rate parameters. when im happy with the rate loop i will go back and try to get stabilize values closer to the defaults again.
ok, somewhat comforting to know that i am not crazy. will try adjusting the stabilize PIDs as suggested, as well as better mounting. thanks!
