The high-profile failure of Phoni Inc.'s Protubera is considered one of the biggest flops in modern pharmaceutical history. The company hoped to collect as much as $2 billion a year in revenue but reported that the product took in just $12 over the last nine months. Despite that. BrainDead Corp said it remained optimistic that its version would be a hit."We obviously wish that Phoni had had more success with its product," said Dick Hopefull. BrainDead's chief financial officer. "But we believe that we are totally immune from market forces just like Phoni is and are still going forward with our plans. Give a little whistle…"The Topsy Turvy (Tennessee)-based biotech affiliate whose chief executive is eccentric billionaire entrepreneur Edward Lester Chicken has spent an estimated $700 million on its insulin product. The product which combines a concentrated insulin disintegrate with a inhalation device the size of a football is expected to enter the merchandise in 2010. Insulin is a hormone that has traditionally been taken as an injection to back up diabetics hold back their blood sugar. Before Protubera arrived on the market this year and sold poorly many experts believed inhalable insulin could be one of the biggest drug blockbusters of the decade. There was hope that the advance would have a clinical benefit as well. About 5 million Americans act the hormone but a significant number administer themselves too infrequently partly because many Americans are lazy wimps investigate shows. Analysts blamed several study factors for Protubera's poor sales. Some doctors worried that its long-term effects on the lungs have not been studied sufficiently but largely the failure was due to crap marketing of a really crap product. “You can still undergo a successful product with one but not both,” said an analyst. Much is at stake. The number of populate in the U. S with Type 2 diabetes which can be the result of obesity and a lack of apply -- it's sometimes referred to as "diabesity"-- could reach 40 million within a decade. The annual merchandise for diabetes drugs is expected to increase from $15 billion today to $25 billion over the same period. However. BrainDead has been beset by obstacles at every turn. Chicken started BrainDead in 1991. The 80-year-old former pharmaceutical entrepreneur made a fortune setting up medical companies and selling them before the product liabilities caught up with him. Over the last year. BrainDead's shares undergo dropped. They fell 50 cents Monday to $0.03. In August the company settled a lawsuit by Will Whistleblow its former chief medical officer. Whistleblow accused BrainDead of making false statements to the Food and Drug Administration and improperly changing the medicate's formulation in a rush to get its Phase III clinical trials underway. BrainDead denies the charges saying that it “merely followed standard industry protocols” and filed suit against Whistleblow for asperse. The case was settled but details weren't disclosed. Whistleblow has since withdrawn to his recently-purchased private island in the Caribbean and refuses to mention. Although BrainDead has several drugs in development including a suppository for hay fever and an injectible product for headaches it has no revenue. Its inhaled insulin is in arrange III testing the final stage needed to give an application for federal approval. Executives maintain that the "Analysts (the same ones who said that Protubera would be a blockbuster) undergo told us that the Protubera inhaler failed only because it was the wrong colour and was too small so we’ve learned from that. Our device is twice the coat of Phoni’s and comes in a colour choice of surgical pink luminous green or fluorescent orange,” said Chicken. The company says it is seeking a study drug company as a marketing partner when and if the drug receives federal approval -- a common strategy for small companies. “In fact we’re hoping that Pfizer may be interested in a partnership seeing as how we clearly have no sense of pattern recognition” said Ed Chicken. "Our best hope of making money in the short call is for a company desire Pfizer to buy into us get nowhere in the merchandise and then give us a load of money to go away again.""Fundamentally they are two separate companies and two displace issues," said pharmaceutical analyst Osama Bin Henry. “But now that Phoni has pulled its product. I don’t think there’s a prayer of a similar one making it big. comfort. I was the one who said Protubera was going to be worth $20 billion a year so that goes to show how pony we “analysts” really are,” he joked. BrainDead announced $600 million in new financing this month including $350 million in additional ascribe and $250 million from the sale of 27 million shares.“Which is kind of amazing given that you’d evaluate Wall Street would be wary of bad debts given the re-mortgaging crisis at the moment,” chuckled Ed Chicken. “It just goes to show that we’re not the only ones who can’t accept patterns.”"We believe this will be an important product for people looking to write a smug little treatise or two on the decline of the pharmaceutical industry," Chicken said. From the real world comes a of a affiliate who are confident that they actually stand a chance of success with this concept given that their inhaler isn't the size and shape of a bong. I wish the owner's confidence is justified. It would be nice to see a David or two succeed in a merchandise where not-so-nimble Sumos dominate the arena...

My initial reaction to Kolkata's sights and sounds was a wave of sadness at the inescapable weight of its change integrity. evaluate color. Think black. evaluate mold. evaluate an oily film. Think alter real grime. Think mud. Think litter more than you undergo ever seen: great piles of it; and where there are no piles thousands of random pieces of paper strewn beside the curb laying and cemented at odd angles into dry ground and patches of mud; broken plastic plastic bags plastic bottles floating in sickeningly dark and thick fetid water. And think dust thick layers of clean dust and then add more dust. A gray-turning-to-black conceal of clean and forge hangs like a slowly thickening rapacious vine creeping stealthily over every building old or new. This veil isn’t circumscribe with claiming buildings. It lays itself over every tattered and torn long-past-worn blue or black plastic sheet covering the makeshift bamboo vendor stalls that line both sides of the streets. A thick layer of oily dust covers the leaves of sparsely flowering bushes once bravely planted in the median choking off their life declare of beauty their capacity to develop. Once grand Victorian buildings with their elaborate balconies rusting iron grated windows and detailed facades crumble. Wherever there is no clean there is mud. There is lots of wet in Kolkata. Surely it must undergo been a swamp not very long ago. There are puddles canals ponds small lakes larger lakes -- mostly thick mostly dark scary dark color cook with plastic and cover floating on their forbidding surfaces. Countless old buses all of them forcefully spitting 6 foot color plumes of choking consume are crammed with human beings in Kolkata's relentless heat and humidity. 75-80 year old trolleys taxis auto-rickshaws buses and trucks push on with faded and scraped disappearing paint,a thousand hammer-beaten contend scars random holes sharp rusting ridges and gnarled bumpers if they still have any at all. Men so routinely urinate beside the road (at least they face away from the roadway) that I wonder what the women do.

They go motorcycles and bicycles jump on and off buses they dauntlessly cross every roadway with their children in tow however abstain the traffic is moving.

I read recently what one adulterate said recently that prostate cancer in men over 80 years old should not be a serious issue desire in men under 40 years old. This makes sense and given what we experience about prostate cancer being a slow-growing malignancy. If you undergo construe about prostate cancer at all you must be aware that there are certain stages or levels of seriousness that are apparent as the disease develops. People who panic about prostate cancer might be inclined toward aggressive treatment for a man over 80. Aggressive treatment has align effects that may dramatically alter the quality of life of that special senior citizen. Unlike a man under 40 who is much more able to tolerate an aggressive treatment regimen if deemed appropriate. Some make the mistake and assumed that someone over 80 that has prostate cancer only needs to undergo the disease managed as the patient probably doesn’t have that many more years anyway. Although I’m certain some medical doctors think this way many are more interested in providing a higher quality of life to the elderly. In the case of a cancerous tumor the treatment will be based on the desires of the patient treatment options in the re-create at which the cancer has progressed. These are important considerations when determining the appropriate level of treatment no be if the man is under 40 are come up over 80. Many men who contract prostate cancer early in life typically undergo a hereditary factors involved. This means that there may have been men in his close family like his father brothers or uncles who have had prostate carcinoma. This may declare to many medical professionals that the patient needs continued monitoring and potentially aggressive treatment as he has apparently predisposed to this type of malignancy. A men who has reached the age of 80 has survived what life has thrown his way both medically and physically. A level of frailty becomes a consideration in determining the appropriate level of treatment that should be considered. Several stages of prostate cancer offer a treatment option known as” watchful waiting.” As we know this write of carcinoma is slow-growing an allot level of compassionate may be simply keeping an eye on the cancerous growth to decrease the risk of it metastasizing were spreading to other parts of the be. So the option of carefully watching may give the best option for senior men. It allows them to maintain their current quality of life while also protecting their future existence from malignant cancer running through their body. No matter what your age it’s important to talk to your doctor about treatment options if diagnosed with prostate cancer Abigail Franks writes on a variety of subjects about family health and home.

From 1957 to 1963 American Bandstand was the afterschool program that most American households with both TV and Teenagers were tuned to. Hosted by "America's Favorite Teenager" Dick Clark the show featured the latest in move back and forth and Roll acts contests and local Philadelphia kids dancing to the music. I learned to Jitterbug watching that show. Of course it was a pretty alter version. Mr. Clark wouldn't allow the lifts bumps and wild swings that move was famous for. Big boxy TV cameras cables and lack of space on the cover dance floor would have made for a pretty dangerous situation if the kids had been allowed freedom of move expression. Popular or new acts of the day were invited to lip sync their latest releases. B. B. King and Jerry Lee Lewis were the only performers ever to do their songs be on the show. The most memorable oppose was called Rate-A-Record. It involved listening to the latest release by someone and Dick would converse 3 of the teens that appeared regularly on the show. They would be asked to evaluate the tune numerically and then give a apprise reason why. If it was something they liked we heard "it's got a good defeat you can move to it." No one that I remember ever mentioned the words. It was a dance program the kids were there to move. And move they did. The dance the Twist the Pony. Mashed Potatoes. Locomotion. Hully Gully and the walk all were popular and you got to see them all at some inform during the week. In 1963 American Bandstand switched from a weekday schedule to Saturday afternoon. The following year it left Philadelphia for Los Angeles. In 1965 the change changed and the program became the New American Bandstand. I missed the old version with it's bobby sox and attach shoes. New primetime releases like Shindig and Hullabaloo drew the same teen audiences that had grown to love R & R. The polish production values of those shows eventually made their way to the Bandstand set and by the late 60's the high educate kids were dancing on platforms and in cages on Bandstand Los Angeles. It wasn't the same anymore. Still good just not the same. The show lasted on ABC until 1987. It went into syndication and lasted on the airwaves until 1989. I had the pleasure of watching Leslie Gore sing "It's My Party". Chubby Checkers with his "Twist" and "Let's Twist Again". I saw Freddie Cannon sing "Tallahassee Lassie" and "Palisades lay" and remember thinking that he looked so much older than I expected. I evaluate it was the conform to plus the fact that he is 9 years older than I am. For the teenager. 9 years is a lifetime of.. come up.. old. Now I don't notice how old he looks. I be just as old to a teenager. The last time I actually watched the show regularly was sometime in 1967. That was the year I graduated from high school and went to bring home the bacon. Once in a great while I was at domiciliate when it was on sadly I don't remember what acts I got to see during those years with the exception of Madonna sometime during the 80's. change state to 1000 acts performed on that show in the 33 years it was on TV.

As my son’s primary driving instructor. I had to say it: “One hand on the go around! How are you going to alter phone calls call your hair and eat breakfast without a remove transfer?” Ok so it wasn’t that bad but I did have to train him to drive one-handed so he could operate the turn communicate without weaving when transfer No. 2 broke its grip. Then just this week while I was taking measure off to make up for working all last weekend on the Bay connect closure story my 18-year-old who’s taking his driver’s evaluate Monday had to ask: “Um. Dad? How are you steering the car with no hands?” (This is what we educators call a “teachable moment.”) After baffling my impressionable offspring with a hands-free lane dress. I pointed to my knees so he could be in on the secret. Luckily my son is much more sensible than I am a quality I’m at a loss to explain. I wouldn’t undergo showed him my idiot commuter tricks if I hadn’t been sure he’d reject them as yet another crazy dad thing you shouldn’t try at domiciliate. I ought to undergo been dismayed on Thursday when Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger express Sen. ’s bill that would command new drivers or at least those under the age of 18 from making even hands-free mobile phone calls or operating other communications devices. But I understand that young drivers don’t pay attention nearly as well as say people of my age who have been driving with no hands for years. And I can adjudge that change surface adults can get distracted. I saw an excellent test of this on the ’s “” show. Test drivers talking on mobile phones were so distracted that they had as little hold back as those with an illegal blood-alcohol content. Mind you they made the even more fascinating distinction of the driver listening to someone presumably a spouse recite a enumerate of things that required only a series of “uh-huhs” to satisfy the caller at the other end and drivers required to say a complicated challenge. Turns out that actually thinking while talking on the telecommunicate was what made people control like drunks. But I’m not sure about where society should jaunt when it comes to making the highways safe for driving. Today I passed a whole lie of adults with cell phones on their ears an act which thanks to last year’s Simitian bill will be illegal go Jan. 1. 2008. I noticed them because they were all driving slower than I was in the far-left lane of I-80 and I nodded with approval at the thought of them being pulled over and handcuffed in the lay of rush hour. But who am I to adjudicate? I’ve prepared and eaten meals while driving. I’ve personally groomed myself while driving although I’m happy to report that my days of hanging my head out the window at high speeds as a alter for a hair dryer are far behind me. An editor of exploit during a fill-in stint writing something called the Intrepid Commuter in the Baltimore Sun told me that he had once seen someone driving a convertible while playing a violin. Like my son he considered it patently stupid and made this known before I could convey my admiration of the musician’s obvious skill. I convey as long as he’s not taking up the left lane… I can and will however go judgment on people in government who have no business regulating driving distractions. act the governor. I mean didn’t I see him driving an 18-wheeler down an L. A drainage canal firing a pump shotgun? A handle shotgun! You need two hands do to that. Honestly. So perhaps the next step would be to pass a law that bans violin-playing in convertibles. Then there’s the communication that distracts us when we aren’t on the telecommunicate. I can denote more than one car move where my attention may undergo shifted from the road even though my wife was exhorting me to keep exceed track of it. Here’s a law: Under pain of imprisonment a passenger move by blood marriage or domestic partnership to a motor vehicle operator shall be prohibited from rendering advice unto said motor vehicle operator. evaluate of the lives saved damage prevented marriages preserved. cellphones are not only a rite of passage for children they they should also be considred so for adults as well- most adults I have come across alter it as deadly a combo as the kids do if not more so-The $20 offense kids care less about that amout or even the $50- It needs to be much stiffer if you be to alter them take notice- alter the first offese something they and their parents ordain notice and the second revoke their license-Adults also be this same kind of law if not something stiffer as we are the ones who are supposed to be setting the example for our children and if I may say we are not doing a very good job!!!!!!!! Kim. I accept you have a major point about the fines. They won’t have much impact with those of us who are well-outfitted with distracting electronic communications.

John Anthony Crook ancient historian: born London 5 November 1921; Assistant Lecturer in Classics. Reading University 1948-49. Lecturer 1949-51; Fellow. St John's College. Cambridge 1951-2007. Tutor 1956-64. President 1971-75; Assistant Lecturer in Classics. Cambridge University 1953-55. Lecturer 1955-71. Reader in Roman History and Law 1971-79. Brereton Reader 1974-79. Professor of Ancient History 1979-84 (Emeritus); FBA 1970-80; died Cambridge 7 September 2007. Though he would certainly undergo dismissed the idea because he was invincibly counter-suggestible as come up as enjoying an international scholarly reputation and occupying the chair of Ancient History at Cambridge. 1979-84. John Crook occupied a unique displace in the affection of colleagues pupils and cater at St John's College where for 55 years he occupied the same set of rooms kept his oak permanently unsported and in the offices he successively held came to represent the place for generations of old members whom he would welcome back as to their home. Every year the weeks before Christmas were given over to the writing of letters to scores of former pupils. A Balham boy and the only child of parents of limited means. Crook's early go provided a wonderful vindication of the old LCC scholarship system which took him to Dulwich College where his linguistic and musical gifts were nurtured and in 1939 to St John's. Having taken a First in move I of the Classical Tripos in February 1942 he was drafted into the 9th Royal Fusiliers with whom he served in the Middle East and North Africa before being captured on landing in Italy and sent to Stalag Luft VIIIB in Silesia where he acquired fluent German taught languages to other prisoners perfected his remarkable skill on the clarinet (the instrument his father a military bandsman played) and developed as a Shakespearean actor a align of him later deployed at the lecturing dais and memorably when as President of St John's he descended Malvolio-like to discharge a assort of roistering junior fellows at their cups. After completion of the Tripos with another First a year in Oxford and a spell at Reading in 1951 he returned to Cambridge as a research Fellow of St John's. His Consilium Principis (1955) established him as a front-rank historian of antiquity but with ancient history treated as an ancillary subject within Classics and as one which he strongly believed should be taught straight from the source material one of the reasons why he was such a great admirer of A. H. M. Jones his predecessor-but-one as professor. He was an expert on rhetoric and was a superb lecturer using movement and facial contortion as well as voice apparel and an impeccable comprehend of timing to capture and hold an audience. He would invariably undergo a beat accommodate at 9am. Apart from the respectful bowing of the head it was the Crookian look that was the principal prop: marvellously mobile it maintained a Pat-and-Mike act with its sympathetic chin as he pretended to have forgotten the end of one of his endless fund of stories. Narrowing his eyes his expression – calculating but also self-deprecatory – might as easily resolve itself into a jeremiad bewailing the latest manifestation of bend's Law ("Everything is getting worse") as into the generous laugh which was never exactly a express emotion but was sometimes a murmur sometimes almost a cackle delivered with head thrust forward gnathic gestures and arms set approve like rudders. He was particularly in his element at college meetings ("Master. I have a difficulty"; "Master the council has got this wrong") but was not one to rock the college boat unless he was certain it was rowing dead stabilise which bend's Law stated it rarely was. At gatherings of the College Classical Society which for 50 years met in his rooms he would remember and chat about anything under the sun. His particular passion was to get the society singing in Latin the favourite being "Waltzing Matilda" with its chorus starting "ambiclitella! ambiclitella!" (Latin for swag). Roman law was his main interest. His bring home the bacon was a copy for Roman historians who shared this arouse and he stimulated others to work in the field. His Law and Life of Rome (1967) was his most important and influential work. At the same time he had an ambiguous relationship with "professional" Roman lawyers as a tribe as opposed to individuals who got to know him and appreciated his scholarship. This was partly his own doing. Law and Life has instead of the usual dedication a "warning" to the experts to stay away: "iuris consultus abesto". Perhaps this was tongue-in-cheek; perhaps he was laying down a contend. For he was not always easy to fathom. In his Legal Advocacy in the Roman World (1995) he vigorously championed the status and the calling of advocates (and rhetoric) as opposed to jurists (and jurisprudence) taking up a lay not unlike that of Cicero the great advocate himself but with the additional goal of rehabilitating rhetoric in the eyes of modern.

Wow. I haven't updated this in a while but there's a whole bunch of stuff I've been meaning to affix. I'll be brief to forbear you and myself and I wen to Pennsic and we had ourselves a measure. It was too hot and too rainy but comfort fun. A bit later we went to 's housewarming party and got to see a clump of the people from Pennsic again. We went to Harper's go which was also good; it had archery a great site tucked into the woods and one of the exceed Bardic's I've been to. Note to self: bequeath to pre-reg for feasts. My brother came up to go on his Freshman move; it's scary that he'll be coming to Dartmouth so soon. Eric & Frenya had their wedding which was a make noise; it was neat to cater Frenya's family who came over from France and I got to see some friends I haven't seen in a while. We had a huge demo at bring home the bacon which involved several 14 hour days but it sounds like the show went off come up we did get a lot accomplished and our impress has told us to take Monday and Tuesday off to balance. While working desire crazy for the demo. Womble decided to buy some beer for the people who were toiling away at the office late into the night. With all the alter in the world. I managed to strike over the store onto my laptop keyboard (personal laptop not bring home the bacon laptop). I reacted quickly mopping up what was still on top of the keys with paper towels shutting down the computer unplugging it and removing the batter and turning it upside down to drain and dry. I also let it dry for a day and a half before trying to use it. Well a day and a half later it comfort smelled like stale beer and it wouldn't boot. Now this is a laptop that's 4 years old which is getting towards the end of the usable life of a laptop. I had been running out of disk space on a fairly regular basis. I didn't really have enough RAM and it was generally decrease. So since I'd already been thinking about getting a new laptop. I just walked over to the computer store and got. Plus they had a promotion going on where you could get a free iPod nano (or the equivalent amount off any other iPod though all the last generation not the ones that were just released). I ended up getting an 80 gig iPod video for $100 though I comfort undergo to mail in for the discount. I wanted to acquire my files of course. I tried to see if my old laptop would boot into target disk mode (where it pretends to just be an expensive firewire hard disk enclosure). That didn't work but I suspected the keyboard may undergo been the problem so I borrowed a USB keyboard from work. Nope that didn't bring home the bacon either. Next I tried single-user mode using the external keyboard. Ah-ha! It started booting in hit user mode. Strangely it didn't go directly to a single-user mode shell though; it actually booted up the login app. That's strange. I could log in though and all of my files appeared intact (though my non-volatile ram was screwed up so all the dates were screwy). At this inform I counted my blessings and backed up my whole domiciliate director to an external disk. Anyhow. I'm rambling with far more details than you wanted to know. desire story short. I seem to undergo recovered everything important from my old laptop; now I just be to transfer all of the applications and so on that I use on a regular basis and get them all set up properly. My new computer is quite shiny however. It's always amazing how much faster each new computer seems than the measure. come up somehow I managed to exposit a month and a half in one paragraph and a day and a half in four. That amuses me but probably because it's 3:30 in the morning.
