Initiation of Francis Trial
August 25‚ 2008 ANTHERA PHARMACEUTICALS ADVANCES GLOBAL DEVELOPMENT STRATEGY FOR VARESPLADIB IN PATIENTS WITH ACUTE CORONARY SYNDROME WITH THE INITIATION OF FRANCIS TRIAL SAN MATEO, CA – August 25, 2008 – Anthera Pharmaceuticals Inc., a privately held biopharmaceutical company developing anti-inflammatory drugs, today announced the initiation of the FRANCIS (Fewer Recurrent Acute coronary events with Near-term Cardiovascular Inflammation Suppression) clinical trial designed to examine the impact of varespladib when administered to patients within 96 hours of an Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS) event. The FRANCIS trial is designed to assess the impact of oral varespladib on known biological markers of cardiovascular risk. It will enroll up to 500 patients that will be treated for a minimum of six months. The study will be conducted at sites in North America and Europe. FRANCIS will provide insight into the prevention of secondary Major Adverse Cardiovascular Events (MACE) over the duration of the trial. In this study, MACE is defined as a composite endpoint consisting of cardiovascular death, non-fatal stroke, non-fatal myocardial infarction, unstable angina, and a subset of revascularization following the initial event. During the course of the study, patients will receive therapeutic standard of care in addition to high dose Lipitor ® (atorvastatin). In previous clinical trials, varespladib, a potent and highly selective inhibitor of secretory phospholipase A 2 (sPLA 2), has demonstrated marked improvements in independent markers of cardiovascular risk including, a near complete suppression of the target enzyme sPLA 2, a clinically meaningful and statistically significant reduction in “bad” LDL cholesterol, and a reduction in C-reactive protein, a known marker of inflammation. -

Comment Letter
July 23, 2008 Subject: Follow-up on July 22 Meeting Dr. Sirri et al.: I thank you for meeting with Ken Salomon, John Welborn and me yesterday afternoon to discuss Reg SHO, naked short selling and the SEC's recent emergency order. As a follow-up, I want to emphasize the following points: 1. OSTK continues to believe that it is critical that the SEC extend the pre-borrow requirement of the emergency order to the entire market, not just the 19 select companies. OSTK requests that the SEC promptly undertake swift rulemaking so that this protection applies fairly across the market. 2. OSTK continues to support the prompt and full elimination of the option market maker exception, an exception that swallows up the good intentions of Reg SHO. During yesterday's meeting, we discussed the relationship between the markets for equities and their corresponding derivatives (including listed options). You stated that options market makers enjoy an exception from the Reg SHO requirement that they locate and/or deliver shares when hedging against options positions. I am not sure that I would read Reg SHO to say that. However, under your theory, if an options market maker sells a put with a 6- month expiration, then that same market maker has the legal right to naked short and fail to deliver an equivalent amount of the underlying equity (leaving the option market maker "delta neutral”) for six months. This exception is unnecessary and open to abuse/manipulation, particularly with the married puts that often occur in Reg SHO threshold securities. -

Upon administration, tanibirumab specifically binds to VEGFR2, thereby preventing the binding of its ligand VEGF. This may result in the inhibition of tumor angiogenesis and a decrease in tumor nutrient supply. VEGFR2 is a pro-angiogenic growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase expressed by endothelial cells, while VEGF is overexpressed in many tumors and is correlated to tumor progression.

Progress Report January 2009 – December 2011
North Carolina State University Professional Science Master’s Program Progress Report January 2009 – December 2011 The Graduate School College of Agriculture & Life Sciences College of Design College of Education College of Engineering College of Humanities & Social Sciences Poole College of Management College of Natural Resources College of Physical & Mathematical Sciences College of Textiles College of Veterinary Medicine First-Year College 1 Greetings From the UNC System PSM Director The Professional Science Master’s (PSM) Program is one of the University of North Carolina (UNC) System’s ways to close the existing skills gap in the workplace. Together with local employers, we design graduate education and training regimens to match employers’ needs. The UNC System has undertaken a collaborative effort to develop these new programs in key areas of importance to North Carolina’s local economies. I am pleased to report that NC State University now offers nine PSM programs. Several new programs are at various planning stages, and numerous new central resources and services are available or under way for these programs. A special milestone in 2010 was the establishment of the PSM Council at NC State University. Members of this group include faculty who direct PSM programs or are planning to offer them in the future. The PSM Council oversees new program development and determines the future strategy for the PSM programs at NC State University. Another important milestone was the award of a new UNC System grant from the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation and support from the UNC General Administration for multiple online tools. I am greatly indebted to the many employers, professors and students who contribute to the collective success of NC State University’s PSM programs. -
