Inspected by Inspector #22 (on 4/4/03 per the green sticker on the electric panel - illegible signature - John something). Cert. #0264313. Contractor: John Waters Electrical, Heating & Cooling Company.
Not sure what black substance is being emitted there - might possibly just be soot damage from a "controlled burn" done across the street years ago by the local fire department: youtu.be/1WC9ol3aEtQ OR the toxic Chinese Drywall installed throughout this area: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chinese_drywall

A local builder recently stated most of the building and housing inspectors here are "on the take". I am grateful I do not live in a high-rise.
This tragic train vs. auto accident occurred a few weeks ago and a young life was taken - he was only 19 years old. He apparently attempted to make a right hand turn crossing the tracks. From looking at the scene it appears the train pushed the car with such a force it went airborne and landed over a hundred feet into a deep ditch. My sincerest condolences to all involved. But there are *no* gates. The following photos depict the scene and are quite disturbing considering this loss of a promising young life could have and should have been prevented and was not.
There have been similar accidents at this same crossing in the past.
This is what is confusing to me:
East Blue Lick Road Add gates to existing flashing lights and bell system at CSX Railroad Crossing on East Blue Lick Road. (343 526X) Add to TIP as part of KIPDA #174 Various general rail/highway protection improvement program projects. Add FY2014 Construction $240,000 federal; RHPD funding
So WHERE ARE THE GATES? Better yet where is our $240,000 and the BIDS for a $50,000 job.

UPDATE: I was informed today June 7, 2018, gates have been installed at this crossing now - unsure how long ago they were installed, but they're up and hopefully functioning correctly. Thank you.

This quality workmanship is courtesy of Northern Suffolk - oh, I'm sorry- it's Norfolk Southern railways. Expect a "bump". Apparently no one ever noticed the sign in front of this crossing which gives the number to call in the event there is a problem. Or they did notice, called and the calls were ignored. Not sure which but time will tell. Tucker Station Road, Louisville, KY 40299, USA.
Their current slogan is: Progress, Prosperity, Planet, People - from their 2018 Social Responsibility Report: www.nscorp.com/content/dam/nscorp/get-to-know-ns/about-ns...
FWIW, there is a State Nature Preserve immediately downstream of these tracks within walking distance (Blackacre Convservancy and Historic Homestead). I'm not sure how these crossings could have gone unnoticed by visitors to this protected area. Surely they would have felt their vehicles bottoming out.

Remember to provide the crossing # (x-ing) - 735 542R
Norfolk Southern Operator 2050 (they say they cannot give their names) took the call. She listened to the information. I do like the idea of giving a number instead of just "Jodi" like CSX did, although CSX's response on-site was stellar.
NTSB referred me to Federal Rail Commission - they didn't have the number. "You can look it up on their website".

This all-concrete BMX ramp sponsored by Baptist Health Sports Medicine is a stellar example of job security (for Baptist Health Sports Medicine). There's certainly a lot of concrete being dumped in Louisville, KY, USA - never stopped, all Winter long. In New Jersey it's said they bury Union leaders in concrete - in Louisville, they just bury themselves.
"Tropical Depression" Harvey slowly taking over the Southeast. According to NOAA this "depression" was passing through Mississippi while kids played basketball here in Louisville, Kentucky, USA. Looks like this harmless "depression" might need some Prozac. www.nhc.noaa.gov/graphics_at4.shtml?cone

Pancake met this gorgeous Australian Shepherd while donating some items to the Kentucky Humane Society today, and what a beautiful blue-eyed pup this was!
In speaking with the nice guard outside today, he says Amgen is a laid-back place to work and the noise levels are typical for a warehouse. It is a large shipping warehouse for cancer treatment drugs. They recently expanded.
12000 Plantside Dr, Louisville, KY 40299
********
From Wikipedia - a little history:
The company has made at least five major corporate acquisitions.
Timeline
1980. William Bowes from Cetus Corporation recruits Winston Salser from UCLA to start Amgen with a scientific advisory board consisting of Normam Davidson, Leroy Hood, Arnold Berk, John Carbon, Robert Schimke, Arno Motulsky, Marvin H. Caruthers, and Dave Gibson.[7]
1989. Amgen received approval for the first recombinant human erythropoetin product, Epogen, for the treatment of anemia associated with chronic kidney failure. Epogen (also marketed by Johnson and Johnson under the tradename Procrit) would later be approved for anemia due to cancer chemotherapy, anemia due to treatment with certain HIV drugs, and for the reduction of the need for transfusions associated with surgery.[8]
1991. In February 1991, Amgen received FDA approval for Neupogen for the prevention of infections in patients whose immune systems are suppressed due to cancer chemotherapy.[9] A 2002 meta-analysis found that Neupogen treatment reduced the risk of febrile neutropenia by 38%, reduced the risk of documented infection by 49%, and reduced the risk of infection-related mortality by 40%.[10]
1998. In November 1998, Immunex, a future acquisition of Amgen, received approval for Enbrel (etanercept), the first rheumatoid arthritis drug targeting tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha).[8] A 2006 assessment by the National Institute of Clinical Excellence of the United Kingdom concluded that etanercept and related rheumatoid arthritis drugs later introduced by competitors "are effective treatments compared with placebo for RA patients who are not well controlled by conventional DMARDs, improving control of symptoms, improving physical function, and slowing radiographic changes in joints."[11] A more recent study demonstrated that compared to traditional disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs, treatment with etanercept improved survival, reduced cardiovascular events and reduced the incidence of hematological cancers.[12]
2010. On June 6, 2010 Amgen received FDA approval for Prolia, a protein drug for the treatment of post-menopausal osteoporosis.[13] In clinical trials, Prolia reduced the rate of vertebral fractures by 61% and the risk of hip fractures by 40%.[14]
2010 In November 2010 the FDA approved Xgeva for the prevention of complications of bone metastases in patients with solid tumors.[15] The clinical trials primarily enrolled patients with breast or prostate cancer.
2012. Illegal marketing practices. The Los Angeles Times reported on December 18, 2012, that AMGEN pleaded guilty and agreed to pay $150 million in criminal penalty and $612 million to resolve 11 related whistleblower complaints. Federal prosecutors accused the company of pursuing profits while putting patients at risk.[16] Larry Husten, a contributor at Forbes.com elaborates on AMGEN's illegal marketing practices in this case, namely that the "government accused Amgen of marketing Aranesp for indications not approved by the FDA and other illegal marketing practices".[17] One of the drugs mentioned in the lawsuit had sales of $492 million in the third quarter of 2012, down 17% from the same quarter the previous year due to "reimbursement problems and label changes".[18]
2012. Amgen paid $762 million after pleading guilty to criminal charges of improper promotion and sale of misbranded drugs.[19]
2013. Lawmakers inserted text into the fiscal cliff bill that will allow the drugmaker to sell a class of drugs that includes Sensipar without government controls for an additional two years. The New York Times estimated that the paragraph in the fiscal cliff bill will cost taxpayers an estimated $500 million[20] but other assessments concluded that the change would protect seniors in rural areas and reduce overall Medicare spending.[21][22]
2015. In September the company announced it would acquire Dezima Pharma for more than $1.55 billion.[23] The same day the company announced a collaboration with Xencor on 6 early stage immuno-oncology and inflammation programmes. As part of the deal Amgen will pay $45 million upfront, with the deal being worth up to another $1.7 billion.[24][25]
2016. In September, the company announced it would purchase the rights to Boehringer Ingelheims Phase I bispecific T-cell engager compound (BI 836909, now AMG 420) for use in the treatment of multiple myeloma.[26]
*******************
From the Wall Street Journal 5/29/21: A pathbreaking pill for lung cancer from Amgen Inc. was approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, adding a new potential blockbuster to the biotech giant’s aging stable of drugs.
The drug, called Lumakras, was approved Friday to treat a portion of lung cancer patients with a particular genetic mutation who have already tried other therapies.
The mutation, known as KRAS, is among the most common found in cancers, but researchers struggled for so many years to find a medicine that can treat it that the mutation came to be considered “undruggable.”

It is ironic that stem-cell treatment is used in other Nations successfully in combating cancer, yet not in the USA.
