"Net loss for the third quarter ended September 30, 2015 was $10.0 million, or $(0.25) on a fully diluted per share basis, compared to a net loss of $6.3 million or $(0.20) on a fully diluted per share basis, for the same period in 2014. For the nine months ended September 30, 2015, net loss was $25.3 million, or $(0.66) on a fully diluted per share basis, compared to a net loss of $15.1 million, or $(0.48) on a fully diluted per share basis for the same period in 2014. The increased loss for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 over the same periods in 2014 is due to increased spending in both the research and development and general and administrative areas and the increase in stock based compensation charges." http://goo.gl/altRsH

Halloween Safety Tips From Monrovia Police
Tips for a safer Halloween from Monrovia PD:
- Brad Haugaard
- Make sure your costume is easy to see. Light colors or reflective tape are good to use.
- Make sure that your costume is short enough so you won’t trip on it.
- Carry a flashlight so you can see and people can see you.
- Use make-up instead of a mask.
- Go with friends and/or parents. Don't go out alone.
- Cross only at corners and never cross the street between parked cars.
- Walk only on well-lit streets and stay on the sidewalks.
- Wait until you get home to sort, check and eat your candy. Check all of your treats and throw away things that are not wrapped
- Make sure you call the police if you see anything that doesn’t look safe.
