Temp here in Ottawa since Tuesday has hovered around -25 C (-13 F), add the wind chill in and it feels like -35. Rideau Canal is open for skating and all of the local hills are open but very sparsely populated due to the cold. We will usually see a couple of weeks in Jan that hit the -30 range but its is rather odd seeing in Dec.
Just to show that I am not wimping out due to the cold, I had the pleasure of being out on New Years Day for Levee in my kilt which added a whole new perspective to the term "numb nut freezing cold".
Enjoy the ride,
OOG

BD, smog is such a 60's and 70's thing, so much better now, really. I remember what it was like in the 50's and 60's; you'd be outside playing an hour and a few minutes after you finished, it would hurt to take in even 1/3 of a breath. Most days are pretty darn clear, it's amazing how much difference there is, and that with many more cars now. No leaded fuel and no incinerators, and clamping down on industrial emissions have been three key reasons. I liked that late action in MNKD today, let's keep it going! Yup, that was my experience playing outside up to when I got out of Dodge in '76. I used to think I was out of shape, shooting hoops on the roof of the HHS gym building and then not being able to breathe. After a couple of months in Boston where I'd work out pretty hard but never have trouble breathing, I finally figured out that it wasn't me, lol. I do get back there from time to time for work, and it's definitely better. But those memories stick with me pretty deeply! |

There will be a very impressive list of pharmaceutical companies in attendance. Al Mann talking about Afrezza and Leona-Bay talking about case studies by modifying old drugs into new ones by modifying their delivery via inhalation (Technosphere)
Check out the web site for drug delivery partnerships 2014.
I would have to say it's a given that Afrezza will be approved. For all I know MNKD PARTNER for Afrezza or future partner for Technoshere will be the the room.
Spiro and I will be in attendance as well. We are looking forward to hearing Al Mann 1st hand.
