BioZone Pharmaceuticals: Dr. Frost's Next Big Thing
Billionaire investor Dr. Phillip Frost is famous for taking positions in small and development stage pharmaceutical companies and nurturing them to multi-billion dollar valuations. His $5M investment in Key Pharmaceuticals became $180M, a 3,500% return. His $100M investment in Ivax became $1.5B, a 1,400% return. His $10M investment in North American Vaccine became $140M, a 1,300% return. He currently holds an approximate 25% stake in BioZone Pharmaceuticals (BZNE). Many investors are predicting the company will emulate the success of his previous investments, and here is why.
What Is BioZone Pharmaceuticals?
BioZone Pharmaceuticals is a developer, manufacturer and marketer of over-the-counter drugs and preparations, cosmetics and nutritional supplements. It currently operates in two main ways. The first is the manufacturing of pharmaceutical products in its California based facility. The second is the development of a drug administration technology called QuSomes.
What Is QuSomes?
QuSomes is a drug delivery technology set to revolutionize the current standard of administration of insoluble drugs. In short, an insoluble drug requires a solvent to render it effective. At present, the production of such solvents is cost and labor intensive and, upon administration, the solvents can be toxic and produce severe side effects. QuSomes technology uses a newly discovered non-phospholipid liposome. Discovered by Dr. Brian Keller, BioZone's chief scientific officer, it is much less complex, much cheaper and much quicker to produce than the current standard liposomal systems. When combined with a pharmaceutical drug it slows the absorption process, which improves the bioavailability of the drug in question. Improved bioavailability leads to increased efficacy at lower doses, further reducing both cost and associated side effects.
The Pipeline
BioZone is currently using QuSomes in a range of cosmetic and nutritional products. While this generates revenue for the company, the potential for extensive growth is rooted in BioZone's pipeline of QuSomes application to pharmaceuticals. In addition to its use in a number of over the counter drug products, there are two main prescription applications in the pipeline.
The first is a standard of care anti-fungal treatment called Voriconazole. The two commercially available forms of the drug, VFEND (Pfizer) and generic manufactured by Sandoz, both contain a solvent called Cyclodextrin. Simply put, Cyclodextrin is a compound made up of sugar molecules bound together in a ring. Because of its hydrophilic outer and hydrophobic inner rings, it is possible to house hydrophobic compounds in Cyclodextrin, of which Voriconazole is one. While it improves bioavailability, it also causes side effects, and is expensive and time consuming in both its production and its combining with Voriconazole. QuSomes reduces both the cost and the side effects associated with administration. IMS Health estimates the market for Voriconazole to be $871M.
The second is a chemotherapy drug called Docetaxel. Docetaxel primarily treats breast cancer, prostate cancer and non-small cell lung cancer. Sanofi brands the drug as Taxotere and a generic version is also available.
The story with Docetaxel is similar to that of Voriconazole. Its administration requires a solvent called Polysorbate 80 that, again, is toxic and costly to produce. Using QuSomes in place of Polysorbate 80 again reduces both the cost and the side effects associated with the drug's administration. IMS Health estimates the market for Docetaxel to be $2.3B.
The Road To Market
In order to gain exposure to both of these markets BioZone needs to gain FDA approval. Where new drugs are concerned this can be a drawn out, expensive process. This is not true of reformulation. With the two drugs BioZone is targeting already approved, the process is much shorter and has a much higher likelihood of success. BioZone estimates the cost to be approximately $3M for each drug, and the time to approval to be two years. In addition, the high success rate associated with the reformulation approval process means BioZone can initiate sales and marketing before the process completes without too much risk.
In short, if BioZone can raise $6M over the next two years it could gain access to multi-billion dollar pharmaceutical markets.
Drug Manufacturing
Both its current and planned drug manufacturing operations improve BioZone's upside potential. As aforementioned, the company currently manufactures and sells over the counter pharmaceutical and cosmetic products in its California based manufacturing facility. This arm of the business is approaching breakeven, and generates revenues that the company can use to finance its QuSomes operation. Earlier this month MusclePharm, a sports nutrition company of which Dr. Frost also holds a significant share, announced it had made a $2M strategic investment in BioZone. The application of QuSomes technology to MusclePharm's products should serve to decrease the time it takes for the facility to reach profitability.
Regarding future developments, BioZone plans to start developing and selling its own branded label of generic drugs. The traditional barriers to entry in this market are not a concern for the company as the manufacturing plant is already operational and FDA approved. In addition, Biozone's full service production and distribution facility will enable the company to undercut the suppliers that currently distribute generic products to wholesalers.
The financial and strategic support of Dr. Frost could see BioZone both revolutionize the drug administration process and become a leader in the generic drug manufacturing industry. Its manufacturing facility is nearing profitability and, within two years, the company could have access to multi-billion dollar pharmaceutical markets. All said, the track record of Dr. Frost is undeniable, and BioZone stock offers investors an early opportunity to buy into what could be his next big success.

Well-known family-run noodle joint offering a value-for-money variety of large prawns and pork-based noodles, served in their rich, robust prawn broth. Hoe Nam's famed broth is prepared by first frying prawn shell, before boiling them with pork ribs for more than eight hours, resulting in a signature sweet, aromatic, umami-intense stock that's almost bisque-like and highly drinkable.
On the menu are 24 possible combinations of ingredients that goes with the noodles, includes small prawns, large prawns, pork ribs, pig tail, pig intestines, sliced pork abalone clams and even baby abalone, all available in noodle soup or as a 'dry' noodle, both topped with generous amount of fried shallots. If you choose to have your noodles 'dry', it will be tossed in a fragrant homemade chilli sauce with the soup served on the side. Try the classic Big Prawn Noodles ($5) that features three large prawns, or the crowd-favourite Pork Ribs & Prawns Noodle ($5.50) that comes additional tender chunks of pork ribs. If you can't get enough of the soup, get a refill for just $1.
If you have room, take the chance to check out Lao Zhong Zhong Fine Spice Stall (老中中五香酥虾饼) for some Ngoh Hiang (five-spice meat roll) and Hae Cho (deep-fried prawn rolls) to go with your prawn mee.

MOSSLEY welcomed its second American vicar recently when the Reverend Jim Parson flew into the parish from North Carolina.
The new vicar at Mossley Methodist Church will join fellow American, the Rev Jay McCleod, from All Saints Micklehurst in the town.
Jim, aged 25, said that this was the first time he and his wife Alycia had left the USA.
"This is the first time I've been overseas," he said. "I was offered the place through the British-American programme and my wife and I decided to take it because we thought it would be fun to live overseas while we were still young."
Jim and Aylcia arrived in Britain on August 14 and spent the first week in London. Jim said they hope to do some sight seeing later in the year but would like to get to know Mossley first.
He said: "Right now we are just trying to settle in, like learning how to drive on the left hand side of the road."
The couple have been socialising with one of Jim's old college friends, a fellow American who has a parish in Oldham.

Next up in my mini series of posts on healthy things I found in Sydney is my trip to a fantastic foodery called Superfood Sushi in Sydney's Newtown. The reason I chose them, out of all of the eating joints in that area, was that their USP is that all their sushi fillings and toppings were vegan – and one of them particularly had caught my eye. Let's play a little game before I reveal why to you….what do you think the nigiri on the top left of this selection below is topped with? The red one.
Now your immediate reaction, considering it's sushi is probably tuna, maybe carpaccio of beef – but remember the whole vegan thing – that means no meat, no fish, no dairy…….Now perhaps you're you're putting your money on roasted red pepper….but no, the answer is watermelon. Watermelon…on sushi. I'll just let that sink in for a minute.
Now, the idea of that was exciting enough to get me to schlep myself across Sydney to check them out, but what I found when I got there was even more exciting. It's not just any ordinary watermelon, owner Penelope tells me it's dehydrated and then marinated to give it that deep red look. That also gives it a truly unique texture – a bit like fruit roll ups, but softer ('oh Helen, why don't you review restaurants all the time' I hear you cry 'you have such a romantic turn of phrase'). It was divine. And that was just the start of the exciting toppings they brought out – roll after roll was full of surprises – with amazing textures, interesting flavour combinations, and lots of things that just made me ask 'what's the one made from? The answer of which always surprised me.
I asked Penelope what makes a good vegan topping or filling, and, the answer it seemed, was pretty much everything – her advice was to try flavour combinations you like in other foods and just put them in a sushi form but if you want a bit more inspiration – here's some simple versions of the ideas that I thought worked brilliantly in the samples I tried…..
Top an inari boat with kimchi – like the one top right in the selection above. This one was my favourite
Tomato and basil and avocado rolls were another big winner for me.
Penelope particularly suggests experimenting with fruit – they top lots of their rolls with kiwi, but I really loved the papaya boat above.
And if you're fed up with using your courgetti as a base for pasta sauce, instead, mix it with pesto. add it to the top of some rice and wrap it in seaweed, or a thin slice of courgette.
Sweet potato, finely milled nuts, marinated mushrooms – and of course tofu – also make an appearance on the menu. 'Just experiment and have fun,' says Penelope. If you're not completely sure how to make your own sushi, check out my post on how to do it yourself. It's actually a lot easier than you think and I actually make it quite regularly now.
However it's not just the filings that make Superfood Sushi special – they serve the rolls not just with traditional wasabi and soy, but with special mayo like dressings which really add an extra flavour pop. Ingredients are also marinated adding another layer of taste – and they use black rice, green rice – and normal rice coloured with exciting things like beetroot powder to turn it purple, which means the presentation is absolutely gorgeous (hello instagram) so, if you're in Sydney and want to try something truly innovative for lunch or dinner, pop along to Superfood Sushi – at 69-77 King Street. That's the end closest toward Broadway (not the station end).
If you do pop in, tell them Health-e-Helen sent you – and try the eggplant dip for me will you. I didn't have enough stomach room left after all the sushi rolls, but it looks great!

Ahahahaha! BLASPHEMOUS, but SO Japanese! Because this is exactly what they do to Western food like pizza and spaghetti in Japan: salad pizza, cabbage and ginger pickle pizza, cream of sea urchin eggs spaghetti… (If you don't believe me: http://bit.ly/1PGiNf9)
These vegan options look delicious, by the way – even from halfway around the world, I'm all over those tomato, basil and avocado rolls. As if I needed more reasons to plan a trip to Sydney…↓
Hahaha – interestingly I asked Penelope if any foods hadn't worked – and she said it was the traditional Japanese ingredients as she couldn't get the right quality in Sydney. That's why she wasn't using more of them. BTW; you need to come to London before Sydney!↓
Love it!! I actually hadn't thought I was being blasphemous but yes!! We totally are that is such a perfect way to put it ??? we are having fun with Flavours↓

Springfield singles over 50 are waiting to meet you! Stress is an inevitable part of modern life, but too much of it can be devastating to your health.
"Many students of this disease have voiced the clinical impression that emotional stress may be somehow implicated in the genesis of MS," the study said. In 1988, a study conducted at the University of Colorado School of Medicine found that MS patients who experienced an extremely stressful life event were 3.7 times more likely to suffer a flare-up from the disease.
Are you ready to find a someone single over 50 for a meaningful relationship?
Millions of singles use Zoosk to meet new people to date.
The following year, the that found that stressors can be predictors of MS as well.
"Significant differences were found between the MS and the control group in their negative emotions and symptoms such as depression, anxiety, obsession, phobia, tense interpersonal relationship and somatization disorder," the study concluded.

Blau Blume
Friday 8th November 2013
"Blaue Blume is Søren, Robet, Jonas and Peter. We have always known each other and have always played together. We recorded a handful of songs during a road trip through the US and Canada in a van that served as our studio and home. It was here that we sketched out the musical, organic, and personal core of the songs. Upon returning to Denmark, we moved into a house by the coast, where we continued developing the first batch of songs while writing a lot of new material. 'On New Years Eve' and 'Jealousy' were completed during this time.
At the very moment new materiel is being finished, and we are just about to go into the studio and record this.
When working with our music, we find inspiration in the drama of The Smiths, the melodic structures of Cocteau Twins, the complexity and dynamics of 'The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway' (Genesis), the sexy "dancyness" of Roxy Music and the ominous tenderness of Nina Simone. Just to name a few from a personnel point of view."

HOUSTON, Texas — A K-9 officer had to be put down after being injured while chasing a suspect in a stolen vehicle case. Houston Police Chief Art Acevedo said that K-9 Officer Rony, a 7-year veteran of the Houston Police Department, had nearly 250 apprehensions.
Sad to report K-9 Rony had to be euthanized. He served @houstonpolice for 7 years & had approx. 250 captures. He was simply one of the best. Please keep his handler & extended family in your thoughts. We appreciate the Vet team's effort & glad he helped capture the suspect today. pic.twitter.com/HIAVx1cnZl
— Chief Art Acevedo (@ArtAcevedo) February 21, 2018
Acevedo told Breitbart Texas on Wednesday that K-9 Officer Rony captured the suspect but was severely injured during the chase. A stolen car suspect ran into a police car with his vehicle during a pursuit that ended in northeast Harris County. The suspect jumped out of the stolen vehicle and took off on foot. The K-9 was running full-speed through a wooded area around 1 a.m. when he caught his paw in a hole in a log. Acevedo said the police dog shattered his leg.
Officers took Rony to the Vergi Emergency Animal Hospital in central Houston to see what could be done about the injuries. Acevedo told Breitbart Texas the department was willing to do the surgery, but the veterinarian said Rony was suffering and with all his numerous previous injuries, including arthritis, he would not likely survive the four months of necessary immobilization after having reconstructive surgery.
Chief Acevedo and his officers were very distraught about the situation. He called Rony, "simply one of the best."
Houston's top cop asked folks to keep Rony's handler in their prayers and said he appreciated the veterinarian team's efforts to try to save Rony.
Acevedo was reported to say to the Houston area paper that Rony "went out the way that he wanted to go out."
RIP Rony, thanks to you and your partner 250 dangerous suspects were captured including the one last night. You did well and made a difference. Here's to your legacy of loyal and courageous service. pic.twitter.com/0j547dbVwq

The founder of the nonprofit K9s4COPS, Kristi Schiller, told Breitbart Texas: "K9s4COPs both mourns the death and celebrates the life of HPD K-9 Officer Rony. He like other K-9s who help protect our communities gave the ultimate in his service to others. Rony will be greatly missed."
Schiller, whose organization provides K9s to law enforcement organizations added, "K9s4COPS is proud to supplement the Houston Police Department with another police dog." The philanthropist and avid police supporter said she talked to HPD Chief Acevedo on Wednesday morning to let him know that K9s4COPS was willing to supplement his department with another K-9. Dennis Shadden is the dog's handler.
Schiller added, "We want to do whatever we can to help Chief Acevedo. He works tirelessly to protect our city, and he only wants the best for his officers. We are honored to help HPD."
Minnesota Vikings tight end Brian Robinson, a member of the 2005 University of Texas national championship team, is donating the funds to K9s4COPS to pay for the new K-9 through his Reel 'Em In Foundation. Robinson's father is a 30-year veteran retired Houston police officer.
Robinson's foundation conducts two fishing tournaments a year to raise money to support K9s4Cops efforts to place K-9 officer with law enforcement agencies across the country.
"My wife and I are animal lovers, and we fully support the efforts our law enforcement officer perform to keep our community safe, Robinson told Breitbart Texas. "Our tournaments bring fishermen together with NFL players and other celebrities for a demonstration of the talents and capabilities of working police K-9s. The end result is everyone has a good time and we help law enforcement obtain more police dogs that help protect the lives of other police officers and keep our communities safe."
Breitbart Texas has reported about the service that K9s4COPS provides to police officers and their communities. According to the nonprofit's website, K-9s cost between $15,000-$25,000 per dog and most police departments have a hard time coming up with that kind of money to purchase them. After they receive a dog, police departments can provide the care, training, and transportation for the canine.
K-9s have worked with police and military officers since the 1800s. The dogs have a sense of smell that is 300,000-500,000 times stronger than the human nose and are critical to detecting explosives and narcotics, and pursuing fleeing suspects, the K94COPS website says.
Since 2011 dogs donated by K9s4COPS have confiscated more than 1400 firearms, over $200 million dollars in narcotics and cash gained through illicit criminal activity. The police canines have also participated in 1400 arrests and helped keep the peace in over 400 public demonstrations.
Rony is the fourth K-9 office to die this year in the line of duty, According to the Officer Down Memorial Page. In 2017, 24 K-9 officers died in the line of duty.
Editor's Note: This article has been updated with additional information about Brian Robinson and the Reel 'Em In Foundation. Information from the Officer Down MEmorial Page was also added.

text: Updated. I changed ethanol and karo syrup to honey. No longer need glycerine. Also added sunflower lecithin. Much better recipe. I haven't seen any recipes like this on this site so i thought i might share my favorite way of using the keif or rick simpson oil from my trim. Hash or wax could also be used here as well, although you will need to experiment on your own for proper dosing and blending techniques. this recipe makes about 150-175 small gummies, so have molds ready. Recipe: 1 3oz box of jello any flavor 3 envelopes of knox gelatin 1/2 cup cold juice or water 1/4 cup honey or light karo syrup (optional...this makes the blend more even. Honey is better. Pinch of sunflower lecithin 7grams of keif or 3ml of rick simpson oil (this recipe will be referencing keif) 2oz honey [heated for 20 seconds in the microwave]...this used to be where i used ethanol (everclear or the like). Honey blends keif and hash much better. 2 tbs glycerin (optional...this is for its emulsive property) not needed with honey instead of alcohol. You will need: whisk sauce pan molds measuring cup cookie sheet or baking pan aluminum foil a dropper or empty condiment bottle for pouring to get started you will need to decarb your keif. follow the online instructions, i use 240 degrees for 45 minutes in a disposable aluminum baking pan that is wrapped in foil. pour 1/2 cup cold water or fruit juice in your measuring cup followed by 1/4 cup of karo syrup. mix until syrup is fully dissolved. pour the mixture into your sauce pan and add gelatin and jello slowly. stir well until all clumps are gone. you will need to allow the gelatin to bloom for 15 minutes before heating it. while waiting on your gelatin to bloom, get your now empty measuring cup and pour 2oz of honey. Heat for 20 seconds and add your decarbed keif and pinch of lecithin. blend well, some keif may settle out, thats okay. set it aside for now. heat the jello mix on low/medium heat until it becomes mostly clear and melted. give your keif mix a final 10 seconds in the microwave then blend and pour into the jello. stir well until the mix is fully blended. place your molds on the cookie sheets for stability and pour jello mix into them. i find it easiest to use the empty condiment bottle or a dropper here. i have also just poured the mix onto the mold and spread out the candy mix with a cake knife or spatula. the bottle is much more efficient and far less messy. you can put your molds in the fridge and in about 15 minutes you have fully formed gummy bears. i like to leave them out overnight on paper plates just to dry out a bit before i pack them away just to dry out and not be so sticky. you can also lightly coat them in corn starch and shake off any excess. You can store them in the fridge for several months, or in a Tupperware in the cabinet for 2 weeks,

Measurement Isn't Enough: How to Utilize Physician Surveys to Improve HCAHPS & More
Imagine going to a seamstress or tailor to have your pants measured. You learn how much needs to be taken in or hemmed and then you leave with those marks and pins on your pants. You don't leave the pants to be worked on. It sounds crazy, right? Problem is, that's exactly what you're doing with your referring and employed physicians if you're not linking survey results to critical business outcomes (e.g., HCAHPS, Referrals, Nurse Retention). To stop the measurement-only madness, check out our tips below so you can act …. and drive business outcomes. To see how SMD "hemmed the pants" of a large integrated healthcare system (spoiler alert: led to many improvements, including 15% improvement in employed physician retention), click here. And, don't forget to join us for our upcoming webinar on this topic, Physician Surveys: How to Move from Measurement to Action, on March 15 at 2 p.m. Register here.
Tick Tock: There must be a realization that a physician's attention and time to take a survey is limited—so serving up an excessively long questionnaire (some vendors ask over 100 items!) will not lead to quality data.
Don't Start from Scratch:
The content must be actionable and focused on the most critical elements of the working environment (valid content) and not just serve as an engagement-tracking mechanism. We suggest you focus on the concise list of items, from SMD's proprietary Referring Physician Survey™, below. Having surveyed thousands of referring physicians, we have validated these items as not only important to ask on referring physician surveys, but also as items that consistently drive key business outcomes.
|• Ease to work with hospital staff
|• Communication in general
|• Facility administration
|• Up-to-date equipment
|• Up-to-date facilities
|• Quality of physicians
|• Quality of care
|• Quality of nurses
|• Patient safety
|• Emergency department
|• Customer service/patient experience
|• Admissions process
|• Scheduling
|• Referrals team
|• Efficiency of processes
The same approach needs to be taken when assessing the attitudes of employed physicians. The key elements of SMD's Employed Physician Survey™ are focused on Leadership, Culture, Support, and Overall perceptions of the healthcare organization.
|• Leadership: Being informed, feeling valued
|• Support: Quality of nurses, clinical support lab tests
|• Overall: Quality of hospital, quality of administration
|• Culture: Mission-focused, dealing well with families, handling disruptive behavior
Purposeful Process:
There are important elements to consider and make certain that they are a part of your complete physician survey process.
- Survey Execution: You need to offer multiple ways for physicians to take the survey to maximize participation, especially when executing an affiliated survey.
- Integration: Integrate the employed physician survey with your current employee survey ("branching" also possible) and connect responses from physicians and employee data using advanced analytics to understand how the critical groups impact each other.
- Benchmarking: SMD has surveyed thousands of physicians and provides the physician benchmark in our reporting tool. We don't recommend basing strategy on benchmarks, but it is good to have a comparison point.
- Timing: Ensure you're able to run it simultaneously with the employee survey, for a significant saving on time and money
- Advanced Research: SMD provides on-staff Ph.D.s to conduct the cause-effect analytics to connect your survey data to real business outcomes (referrals, retention and HCAHPS).
- Customized Action Planning: Generic physician action-planning tips and best practices are fine but being able to customize them with your own best practices and learning management system takes the process to a new level.
- Fast Results Turnaround Time: Get results delivered to you in two days. Waiting months for results will just invalidate your process and minimize your impact.
- Survey Validation: Be certain that your physician survey items have been criterion-validated against actual business outcomes, so you know the items assess business drivers.
- Year-Round Analytics & Support: Your survey provider must look for opportunities to connect the physician survey data to new and various business outcome data throughout the year.

Back workout today; SGX/SUP2 special; October "100 Challenge" open for entry.
Monday, September 8, 2008 by John Stone
Filed under Daily Blog
I'm surprised that this morning my legs feel fully recovered from Friday's workout. I'm going to go ahead and do my back workout today, and change my workout schedule for this week to M-W-F. I'm going to do the same exercises I did last week (hopefully with more weight): deadlifts, weighted wide-grip pull-ups, T-bar rows and bent-over barbell rows. Again, no isolation exercises right now, so no direct bicep work until I start my bulk.
As many of you know, I've worked with Chris "Swolecat" Janusz four times in the past: two cuts using his SGX program and two bulks using the SUP2 bulking program, all of which were highly successful. Chris is also a long-time sponsor of the forum, and has helped countless JSF members lose fat and gain muscle with his customized programs and personal attention to each client. If you've been thinking about hiring Chris to help you, or if you are simply looking for a customized training and nutrition plan that will allow you to reach your goals, then now is the time to hire Chris! He has some open slots, and is running an awesome discount special right now. He only accepts a limited number of clients at a time, so it's first come, first serve. Chris will be posting a thread in the Fat Loss forum sometime this morning with all the details; look for it "stuck" at the top of the page.
As I mentioned last month, I'm going to start opening the "100 Challenges" for entry a little earlier in the month. I want everyone who wants to participate to have plenty of time to get registered. Details for the October 2008 challenge are immediately below.
Registration for the October 2008 "100 Challenge" is now underway! Your Official Challenge post must be made by 7:00 AM (EDT) on October 1, 2008 if you plan to participate – NO EXCEPTIONS! To participate, you must be a member of the forum. If you are not a member, simply create a free account. It can take up to 24 hours for your account to be activated, so don't wait until the last minute to register! For all the details, official rules and sample entry data, just head over to the October 2008 "100 Challenge" thread on the forum. If you are ready to work hard and want to challenge yourself in a fun and competitive environment, then please take part!

Swiss is shocked.
Law, Courts, Judges, clients, people and the whole darn legal system has done his head in. He can't take it no more and is done with it all
Earlier today, while sitting in Court listening to both parties arguing a point, he was struck by a thought that knocked him sideways and has undermined his whole being.
Family Law may have a slightly dodgy reputation for farcical lunacy and idiotic people, but this really took the biscuit.
Mr and Mrs Smith have separated after a difficult relationship. If you have ever watched that programme on the tv 'Its me or the dog', this was no pretend for the camera, five minutes of fame time, this was real life drama, and unfortunately for Mr Smith, it was the dog that won the competition. The divorce was well under way.
Mr Smith wanted to call his dog Smithy. Mrs Smith, who's maiden name was Jones wanted to call it Jonesy. (Probably after that famous butcher on Dads Army)
Mr Smith had filed his Position Statement in good time, suggesting the name Smithy and backing up his pretty powerful argument with 20 darn fine points which would take some beating. Mr Smith looked confident, assured and cocky.
Mrs Smith had failed to provide her Statement until just before the hearing, a point which failed to win support from the Judge, Mr Woof. Her statement listed but two arguments, but to be fair to Mrs Smith, they were strong arguments and she was blonde and had a short skirt, so it was looking in her favour, and Mr Smith was fuming, obviously wishing he had worn a shorter skirt, and that Judge Woof would stop eyeing up his wife/ex-wife quite so much.
So the scene was set for the big showdown. Swiss sat at the back to watch proceedings, and lets be fair to Swiss, his professionalism had taken over and he was not being swayed by the short skirt or general blondness of young Mrs Smith. (Oh yeah!)
So it was proposed that the dog be called Smithy. It was proposed that it was called Jonesy. The Judge was clearly struggling to think this one through. It was clear that the arguments weighed heavily on his mind. He suggested a compromise. Neither party was prepared to budge. Gunfight at the OK Coral.
The Judge suggested Sminsy. No, rejected.
He suggested Jonithy. Rejected.
The 30 minute hearing stretched into eternity. Four bloody hours! Four bloody hours for arguments to be batted backwards and forwards like a game of tennis. All compromises rejected. All of the Learned Judges suggestions rejected. Neither party was going to back down.
Finally, the Judge said he will pass Judgment. Listen in people, because Judge Woof is about to make a decision.
The dog will henceforth be known as Winston.
Thats settled then, but Swiss has decided that law is not the exciting and interesting job he thought. He is dissapointed that all those years of studying, attending classes, doing homework and writing stuff and nonsense has come to this. Shocking, thats what it is, shocking.
Swiss is settling for his mobile shoe shine business and law can go and take a hike. There has to be more to life that this rubbish.

Vision impairment -- one of the more common complaints associated with aging eyes -- has seen a steep drop in older Americans, according to a new study in the journal Ophthamology.
The study -- conducted by Northwestern Medical -- found that 23 percent of people over the age of 65 had "activity-limiting visual impairment" problems (for example, they weren't able to read the paper). But by 2010, this type of impairment saw an age-adjusted 58 percent drop, with only 9.7 percent of 65+ year olds saying poor vision getting in the way of an active lifestyle, Northwestern University reported.
While the study didn't discuss the cause for such a drop, Dr. Angelo P. Tanna, one of the study's first authors, had a few thoughts on the matter. Tanna told Northwestern:
"The findings are exciting, because they suggest that currently used diagnostic and screening tools and therapeutic interventions for various ophthalmic diseases are helping to prolong the vision of elderly Americans."
Tanna went on to list three specific reasons for the marked decrease:
1. "Improved techniques and outcomes for cataract surgery": A new form of cataract surgery highlighted in the November 2010 issue of Science took cataract surgery to a new level. Now doctors can use lasers to make incisions and imaging to make sure those incisions are made in the right place, instead of the old school method of "freehand pulling and tearing of the capsular tissue."
2. "Less smoking, resulting in a drop in the prevalence of macular degeneration": As if you needed another reason to stop smoking, lighting up can make you four times more likely to experience retinal deterioration, according to the Macular Degeneration Association.
3. "Treatments for diabetic eye diseases are more readily available and improved": Even though Tanna acknowledge instances of the disease are up, the eye problems related to the diabetes -- such as cataracts and glaucoma -- are much more easier to treat these days.
Take a look at the Ocular Nutrition Society's survey findings on eye health and older Americans in the slideshow below.

The first half of 2016 in review
4 August 2016
It's always good to pause and take stock of what has happened. I usually do this personally, but figured I could also post about it as news to catch up on my backlog of things that have happened.
In February, our paper on the effects of plant compensatory regrowth on herbivore population dynamics was published in The American Naturalist. http://www.journals.uchicago.edu/doi/full/10.1086/684522 Long story short, plant compensatory regrowth, by themselves, can cause herbivore populations to cycle and can interact with plant resistance to produce non-intuitive effects on herbivore dynamics.

text: Roof Leaks and Air Infiltration 09/03/2009 | By Richard L. Fricklas While most roofing professionals naturally focus on the roof system and roof leakage, there's another type of leakage that is at least as important – air infiltration. You're probably familiar with the term vapor retarder (or vapor barrier), and you recognize that vapor retarders need to be installed on the warm (high vapor pressure) side of a construction to slow the diffusion of water vapor into the thermal insulation. In colder climates, the position of the retarder needs to be toward the interior of the building because the predominant vapor drive is toward the colder outside. In the air-conditioned south, or in buildings that function as coolers or perishable refrigeration, the retarders need to be toward the exterior side of the construction. We also have recognized that most buildings don't require retarders at all. In fact, detractors of retarders point out that roof insulation has a tolerance for some water, and water that does accumulate during the colder months can "self dry" during the following summer months if there's no retarder in the way. They also point out that, if the roof does leak, the retarder may delay discovery of the roof leak until damage is widespread. That situation may be changing. With more and more cool roofs, e.g. high albedo surfacing, being installed, summer drying may not be adequate to return the insulation to a dry condition before the wetting cycle starts all over again. We also know that air leakage can carry far more water vapor into the roof system than moisture diffusion through a retarder1. (Reportedly 30 to 200 times more.) In Maxwell Baker's Roofs, Design, Application and Maintenance2, Baker estimates that a one-perm vapor retarder might pass 5 pounds of moisture per month (per 100 square feet), but that a 1-square-inch hole in that barrier could pass 80 pounds of water in the same time period (under conditions of 5 cfm airflow and 0.1 inches of water pressure differential). Since there's so much attention now focused on energy conservation, we need to emphasize the consequences of this insulation getting wet. The energy loss through wet roof insulation can be increased by 70 percent over dry3. Organizations, such as the Air Barrier Association of America (ABAA), have been organized to further the understanding of the fundamental nature of air barriers. The AABA points out that: Vapor barriers are not to be confused with air barriers. A vapor barrier is designed to restrict the flow of water vapor through a material, just the same as an air barrier material restricts the flow of air through a material. Vapor barriers or vapor retarders are intended to control the rate of diffusion into a building assembly. As a vapor barrier, it will control the rate of moisture flow where it is placed; therefore, the vapor barrier doesn't have to be continuous, doesn't have to be free of holes, doesn't have to be lapped, doesn't have to be sealed, etc. A hole, for example, in a vapor barrier simply means that there will be more vapor diffusion in that area compared to the other areas where the vapor barrier is intact. Water vapor permeance is measured by the amount of water that will work its way through a material. This is normally reported in ng/(Pa•s• m2). Many areas of the country require a vapor barrier that has a maximum water transmission rate of 60 ng/(Pa•s2). Much work is being done and much discussion is being held on whether vapor barriers should be used at all – and, if they are used, what the water transmission rate should be. There's discussion on the need to allow buildings to dry. Keep in mind that, during this time period where vapor barriers are being discussed, the local building code must still be met, which may demand barriers even when building science would indicate that they should not be used. Water vapor may be transported by air leakage, but this is dealt with by installing a proper air barrier. Vapor barriers are intended to be installed on the warm side of the insulation. The air barrier, by contrast, can be placed anywhere in the roof cross-section. There are also a wide variety of materials that can be used to form an air barrier, such as: As a roof system, SPF is highly impermeable, but as an air barrier, it also forms tight flashing seals at pipe penetrations, curbs, and walls. SPF can also be used under the deck at junctions of walls and roof deck, and other penetrations through the roof deck and insulation. This is especially useful for tightening up existing buildings. Self-adhering flexible membranes are widely used in waterproofing and as an underlayment for steep roofs where eaves icing is probable. Since neither hot asphalt nor torching is necessary, they're suitable for sealing difficult-to-get-at locations. Liquid membranes will seal continuous surfaces, they require reinforcement to bridge joints and gaps in the substrate. Un-adhered membrane systems, such as ballasted and mechanically fastened single-ply systems, don't make good air barriers because air can freely migrate laterally. In addition, if the mechanically fastened roof system billows in a windstorm, it serves to "pump" air. Windstorm resistance of ballasted and mechanically fastened systems is greatly enhanced by installing a separate air barrier. Condensation is regularly observed on the underside of un-adhered systems in cold weather. (Because the thermal insulation used in these systems generally consists of closed-cell foam, this may not be a fatal defect.) In metal roof systems, a vapor retarder is commonly laminated to the interior face of glass fiber batt insulation. Integrity of the retarder can be improved by overlapping the plastic film and sealing it with tape, but does not address air movement at walls and penetrations. Because many metal buildings have many sources of air leakage, wintertime internal humidity may never build up to the point where condensation is a factor. As energy codes call for much higher R-values and tested U-values, we may see more condensation problems appearing. The solution should be to mandate tested air barrier systems in such structures. In nonstructural (hydrokinetic) metal systems, it's easy to create an airtight barrier on top of the OSB/plywood deck (usually using self-adhering membranes). Roof Air Barriers4 The roof membrane can be considered an air barrier since it's designed to withstand wind loads if it's fully adhered or hot- or cold-mopped. Mechanically fastened and ballasted roof systems, because they displace and momentarily billow or pump building air into the system, don't perform the required functions of containing air without displacement. In these cases, another air barrier must be selected in the system. Either a peel-and-stick air and vapor barrier on the inboard side of the roof system (inter conditions and weather dependent), or taped gypsum underlayment board beneath the insulation can be used in a system with adhered under layers of thermal protection board and insulation. Those layers must be designed to withstand maximum wind loads without displacement. Because of the critical importance of continuity with the wall air barrier, a pre-construction on the air barrier system must include the trades involved in the air barrier system, such as the wall air barrier subcontractor, the window subcontractor, the sealant subcontractor, and the roofing subcontractor, to discuss the connection between the roof air barrier and the wall air barrier, as well as the sequence of making an airtight and flexible connection. It's also important to ensure that the materials being joined together are compatible. Penetrations into roof systems, such as ducts, vents, and roof drains, must be dealt with, perhaps by using SPF (or other sealant) or membranes to air tighten these penetrations at the targeted air barrier layer. How do we know if an existing building has air leakage problems? We have a number of powerful tools: While this column usually refers to infrared thermography (IR) as a tool to detect wet thermal insulation, airflow will also carry heated air. IR does not "see" the warmer air, but detects the surfaces that the warm air has impinged upon. ASTM E-779 describes a procedure for pressure testing a building. This will indicate whether the building can meet a desired level of "tightness." Usually, this is defined as less than 0.02 L/s•m2 @ 75Pa (<0.004 cf/min/ft2 @ 0.3 in H2O). A smoke plume is directed at suspected air leakage points. The smoke source can be as small as a pencil or large enough to fill a sizable roof using "theater" smoke. For existing buildings, it's worthwhile examining abandoned rooftop equipment to see if it has been properly sealed off. It may be necessary to remove the units, install replacement decking, and tie a new air barrier to what's already there.

by OmahaJasonI like McVay. But, what most people see a a 'Boy Genius', I see a talented Stage Magician, capable of dizzying feats of sleight-of-hand and gifted with great strategic vision, but he struggles with managing the tactics of offensive play ON THE FIELD. The more you watch a stage magicain, the easier it becomes to predict their tricks, and even if you don't know exactly how they are fooling you, you can anticipate their next move.
McVay NEEDS a tough, stubborn O.C., empowered to challenge McVay in real time. If McVay just wants to call plays, he could make the same salary as the Ram's OC, but if he truly wants to be a Head Coach in the NFL, he needs to be humble enough to surround himself with coaches able to help him manage the game.-09-29-2019, 05:35 PM

June 8th by Andy Benoit (MMQB)
24 Hours � with Sean McVay
We spent a day with first-year Los Angeles Rams coach Sean McVay as the youngest coach in the NFL attempts to make his mark on his team at a recent minicamp.
This is the fourth installment of The MMQB�s �24 Hours� series, inside-inside, multimedia stories for the 2017 NFL season, chronicling a day in the life of an important figure in pro football. After seven years in Washington, the last three as Jay Gruden�s offensive coordinator, a soon-to-be 31-year-old Sean McVay took over the Los Angeles Rams in January, becoming the youngest head coach in NFL history (modern era). It�s been a whirlwind first off-season, though if you observe McVay running the team, you�d think he�s been at it for a decade. In May, during the Rams� third OTA session (which meant full days with the players and live practices), McVay welcomed us behind the curtain.

Los Angeles, Calif.
May 24, 2017
9:43 p.m. PT
Sean McVay answers the door to his contemporary-style house in Encino Hills, a neighborhood in the San Fernando Valley northwest of downtown L.A. He moved in a few weeks earlier. His mother, an interior designer in Atlanta, has been furnishing the place. She�s off to a strong�and, to McVay�s occasional astonishment, expensive�start. But her work is far from done. About half of the home�s 4,660 square feet remain bare. McVay lives here with his girlfriend, Veronica, who moved with him from Virginia.
After McVay, the former offensive coordinator in Washington, got the Rams job on Jan. 12, he planned on returning to his Reston, Va., townhouse to gather his things. But there was too much to do in California. So Veronica and a few friends took care of clearing the townhouse, and it sold in a day. McVay never made it back.
He�s wearing his usual: shorts, t-shirt and running shoes. �Come in, make yourself at home,� he says.
* * *
10:01 p.m.
McVay toured six houses when he got to L.A. The fourth felt like the winner. But then he saw this one. It overlooks Burbank and has an enormous open patio. The bells and whistles abound: a gas fire table near the edge of the balcony; a miniature balcony overlooking the pool; floodlights�remarkably powerful floodlights; surround sound inside and outside; an Alexa system that controls the lights on command. (�Alexa, turn all off.�) And a glass wall that slides open at the push of a button, converting the living room into essentially a fancy covered patio.
�Pretty cool, huh?� McVay says as he reveals each nook and cranny. He�s too earnestly impressed to be bragging. He grabs a beer and takes a seat near the gas fire table, only to discover that the cushions of his new patio furniture are damp. Oh well. He�s calling...-06-11-2017, 05:06 PM
by NickAll of these are from Alden Gonzalez, an ESPN staff writer...
Sean McVay, whose parents and brother flew in from Atlanta, thanked Jon and Jay Gruden for helping him get here.
"We're going to be a team that's built on character," Sean McVay said.
Sean McVay: "I will call the plays."
The moment Les Snead knew Sean McVay was ready to be a head coach: when his phone was blowing up, and some of the calls were from key Redskins players, including DeSean Jackson and Josh Norman. The moment Kevin Demoff knew: when they were out at dinner and he watched McVay and Marshall Faulk banter back and forth about football.
Demoff, on McVay: "There are times when I close my eyes and see Jon Gruden." Jared Goff and Aaron Donald spoke to him before he was hired.
Sean McVay sees "great players in key spots" with the Rams. Mentioned Aaron Donald, Alec Ogletree, Mark Barron, Robert Quinn, Todd Gurley and Tavon Austin; said he sees "exciting traits" in Jared Goff" and that he has "a lot of respect" for Lance Kendricks. "I see a lot of key pieces in place that gives us a chance to compete."
Fassel will return as special teams coordinator, Snead confirmed. Hiring of OC could take a bit. Not much urgency because McVay calls plays.
(This one from Shelly Smith @ ESPN) Kroenke, Demoff, Marshall Faulk and Sean McVay had dinner at Spago. Wolfgang Puck came over 3 times to say, "We need a coach."
Rams had interview scheduled w/ Shanahan Sunday, but Kroenke offered McVay job over breakfast THU. "We knew we had our guy," Demoff said.
Agent Bob LaMonte first met Sean McVay over lunch four years ago. He left thinking, "This guy is the next Jon Gruden."
Sean McVay spoke to Eric Dickerson on the phone yesterday and said he's looking forward to forging that relationship. Smart.
Rams QB Jared Goff spent two hours breaking down film with Sean McVay last week and was blown away. "Right off the bat you could tell that his knowledge is extremely high. Far higher than a lot of guys."
Demoff: "You were always worried about making sure that Jared had continuity." Demoff brought up the relationship between Sean Payton and Drew Brees, and Jon Gruden with Rich Gannon. "Getting that right pair with the quarterback was imperative."-01-13-2017, 03:54 PM

A native of LaGrange, Georgia, and a graduate of Emory University, my first work was teaching High School English in Troup and DeKalb Counties. After our four sons were in high school and college, I returned to Emory for a Master of Divinity degree from Candler School of Theology. Following ordination I served United Methodist Churches in North and South Georgia.
Applied art came in later years for me. While living in Macon, I studied with Maryanne Dunn. My intense study began with Cora Waterhouse at the LaGrange Art Museum in her courses in drawing, pastels and oil painting. Recently I have studied with Jim Richards in his Atlanta Studio.
My work reflects a deep interest in the beauty of the land and ordinary scenes passed every day.
