Molly, what is it that you would want in a women's specific cyclocross bike? Contrary to popular belief, men and women have the same leg to torso length ratios on average.
"However, anthropometric data show that women do not have proportionally longer legs than men, if anything they have slightly shorter legs, in particular after puberty (Eveleth & Tanner, 1976; Martin & Nguyen, 2004; Sorokowski & Pawlowski, 2008)."

What you will learn from this book
This book is a comprehensive guide to all aspects of using Smarty. It will help you to:
- Install and configure Smarty on your Web server
- Understand how Smarty affects your web site architecture, and build site foundations that make the most of what Smarty offers
- Designers will learn to work with templates that contain variables and logic, to modify layouts or content of Smarty web sites
- See how Smarty caching can improve the performance of your sites
- Develop custom Smarty functions and plug-ins to incorporate into your templates
In Detail
Smarty is a templating engine for PHP. Designers who are used to working with HTML files can work with Smarty templates, which are HTML files with simple tags while programmers work with the underlying PHP code. The Smarty engine brings the code and templates together. The result of all this is that designers can concentrate on designing, programmers can concentrate on programming, and they don't need to get in each others way so much.
Even if you are developing a site on your own, Smarty is a powerful way to make your code clearer to you and others, as well as easier to debug and modify later.
Visit the Free Online Edition for Smarty PHP Template Programming and Applications and learn more about the book and discover what each chapter from this book has in store.
You can now download "Smarty Cheat Sheet" for free: http://smartybook.packtpub.com/
Using a step-by-step approach based on realistic examples, the expert authors show you how to use Smarty in your own PHP development.
Who this book is for
This book is written for PHP developers who want to use Smarty templates in their development, and for designers who are working with PHP developers who are using Smarty.

I think I'm going to choose Peacekeepers. University was cool, but liked Peacekeepers better. Unless, you are also interested in both, then I guess we could flip a coin .

Special Alerts
Commercial State Bank of Waterloo, Waterloo, Illinois, has contacted the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) to report that counterfeit cashier's checks bearing the institution's name are in circulation.
The counterfeit items display the routing number 081006382, which is assigned to Commercial State Bank of Waterloo. The items are markedly dissimilar to authentic cashier's checks and display a security statement embedded in a darkened top border and along the bottom border between two padlocks. The words "CASHIER'S CHECK" appear in the top-left corner. An elongated rectangle is shown in the middle portion containing the written dollar amount and two shaded boxes with the initials "CSB" in the top-right and lower-left corners. A "NOTICE TO CUSTOMERS" and an indemnity bond statement are in the lower-left corner. A toll-free telephone number ("1.888.811.1028") that is not associated with the bank is below the bank's name and location in the top-center area. Two signature lines preceded by the word "PER" are in the lower- right corner, with "Authorized Signature" below the first line and "Countersigned" below the second line. The words "DATE" and "RE" also appear on the right side of counterfeit items.
Authentic cashier's checks are yellow in color with an interlocking diamond background and ornate borders. A padlock and vertical security statement appear within the right border. The words "CASHIER'S CHECK" are in the lower-left corner and the statement "THIS CHECK NOT VALID IN EXCESS OF $5000 WITHOUT SIGNATURES OF 2 OFFICERS" is shown above two signature lines in the lower-right corner. A rectangle contains the numeric dollar amount on the right side. The word "REMITTER" is in the top-left corner.
Copies of a counterfeit item and an authentic check (VOID) are attached for your review. Be aware that the appearance of counterfeit items can be modified and that additional variations may be presented.
Any information you have concerning this matter should be brought to the attention of:
Sandy Foster
Information about counterfeit items, cyber-fraud incidents and other fraudulent activity may be forwarded to the FDIC's Cyber-Fraud and Financial Crimes Section, 550 17th Street, N.W., Room F-4004, Washington, D.C. 20429, or transmitted electronically to firstname.lastname@example.com.

Large, light-filled suite in the former mansion of Brooklyn's mayor with hotel quality amenities. 2 blocks from the subway, 15 minutes to Manhattan. A relaxing, artsy neighborhood with all the amenities you would want. Read our reviews!
Large, light-filled suite in the former mansion of Brooklyn's mayor with hotel quality amenities. 2 blocks from the subway, 15 minutes to Manhattan. A relaxing, artsy neighborhood with all the amenities you would want. Read our reviews!
Stay at the former Mansion of the Mayor of Brooklyn. This unique brownstone has gorgeous original details, high ceilings, hardwood floors, exposed brick, parquet floors, etc. As a mansion, this house is double the width of the normal brownstone buildings you will find in Brooklyn.
This listing is a light-filled, quiet, large private "suite" in on the top floor (3rd floor). By "suite", we mean that a lockable door separates your bedroom and private bathroom from the rest of the apartment. You can also rent both suites: the other one is listed here: https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/1859366
Share the living room and kitchen with another guest (or not, if it's not booked). We are always around if you need anything. We can lend your kids our toys, books, etc. We provide hotel quality amenities: towels, shampoo and conditioner, soap, hair dryer, umbrellas, guide books, maps, etc. Weekly professional cleaning service is provided at no charge.
We're located in a great section of the neighborhood of Fort Greene! You can check out the AirBnB guide to the neighborhood or (website hidden) it. Watch out for other listings on the fringe of the neighborhood, or too close to the Barclay Center. Ft. Greene is an exciting neighborhood with plenty to do, but it's also quiet and feels like a real neighborhood. Close by is Fort Greene park, the famous Brooklyn Flea market, a weekend farmer's market, the second largest subway hub in New York City, the Barclay Center, the Brooklyn Academy of Music (BAM), and of course restaurants, cafes and bars. Just 15 minutes from Manhattan! Also, CitiBike bike sharing has bikes for rent every few blocks in a large part of Brooklyn and Manhattan.
We have WiFi or wired internet. The living room has a flat screen TV with Netflix, Hulu Plus (for viewing TV shows), and AppleTV. You can also watch a selection of hundreds of movies for both kids and grown-ups stored on our media server, most with subtitles in several languages. These movies can be seen on the TV or streamed to your iOS or Android device.
Our calendar is always up-to-date, so feel free to book any dates that show available.
We look forward to hosting you!
Our neighborhood, Fort Greene, is very close to Manhattan (we are just two blocks from a subway station), but feels much more comfortable. It's quiet and spacious, with tree-lined blocks filled with historic "brownstone" houses from the 19th century.
There is a beautiful park designed by the same people who designed Central Park, a local farmers market, a famous flea market, and plenty of cafes, restaurants, and fancy food stores. You can search online, as there have been many articles written about our neighborhood. Also, AirBnB has neighborhood guides you can look at.
As for transportation, you can get to Manhattan very easily via subway. We are two blocks from the "C" train, and 7 or 8 blocks from the 2nd largest subway hub (after Grand Central) in the city, where many lines run. Depending on where you are going, and which line you need to take, it will take you 15-25 minutes to get anywhere south of 14th street, including the Financial District, SoHo, Tribeca, the Lower East Side, the Village, etc. To get to midtown is another 10 minutes.
After 10pm or so, I usually take a taxi, not so much because of safety concerns, but rather because the trains run infrequently and irregularly late at night. From below 14th st, it will cost about $15, more from midtown.

A superb choice for our family get together in NYC. The place is comfortable, stylish, super accessible and surrounded by bars, eateries and fun stuff to do. we'll defo be back sometime soon. thanks guys! James , Dominic and party.
My sister and I really enjoyed our stay at the Mayor's Mansion. We loved the safe, peaceful, leafy tranquility of Brooklyn after sightseeing or shopping in Manhattan. The underground train service is within easy 5 minute walk. The apartment is well equipped with everything and more that a traveller needs. Lovely toiletries in the bathroom. In the kitchen, coffee, milk and little leftover condiments, crackers etc left by previous guests. We enjoyed breakfast in the spacious kitchen every morning. The bed was comfortable and the room, located at the back facing the garden (back yard!) is quiet. We recommend you do the walk in guide provided by Claudia to get to know neighbourhood, restaurants, deli etc. Leo very prompt at responding to emails when we needed help.
We really enjoyed our stay at Mayor's Mansion. The apartment is spacious, clean, beautifully decorated and equipped with everything you might need during your stay. We felt at home and were happy to return to the peaceful apartment after a long day in the city. The neighborhood is really nice - there are parks, shops, restaurants etc. and the nearest subway station is only 1,5 blocks away. We truly recommend Mayor's Mansion!
We absolutely loved our stay in Brooklyn - the flat is beautiful, very spacious, quiet and overlooking the garden and perfectly located. Claudia is the best host, incredibly helpful and kind - she runs the airbnb very professionally. It is the first time I enjoyed staying in NY as the flat immediately becomes your second home and a quiet place away from but very close to the buzz of NY. Thank you Claudia!
My wife and I visited NYC and we stayed at Claudia and Leo's lovely apartment. It was very clean, well laid out and very spacious. It was much more affordable than a hotel and we ended up getting a lot more. Fort Greene is a nice neighborhood and there are many subway stops within walking distance (we found 2 in less than 4 minutes of walking and there are more than that nearby!). The kitchen has all the equipment you would need to prepare a quick meal so when we got tired of eating out we decided to eat in and it was easy. We will recommend the apartment to our friends. All the best!
This is a great space. Peaceful and homey - - I'd definitely recommend it. Thanks Claudia and Leo.
Great place, beautiful rooms, large clean bathroom, nice people, good location (close to 2 subway lines), ...
Frankly it's better than a hotel.
Mayor's Mansion is old ,but room is beautiful and nice.Claudia and Leo were wonderful hosts.
Fort Greene is very well located,and conveniently close to Atrantic Av(the subway station)!
Someday I would like to stay Mayor's Mansion again!
We loved our stay at the Mayor's Mansion last month! Claudia and Leo are fantastic hosts- kind, accommodating, and very thoughtful. The apartment is beautiful, very spacious, and a relaxing oasis. We shared the space with another couple and really enjoyed chatting with them. The common areas are lovely- complete with a huge kitchen (with everything you would ever need during your stay), a gorgeous living room with an impressive record collection, and a library that includes a guidebook put together by Claudia and Leo (extremely helpful and wonderful if you like to experience your stay like a local). We would recommend the Mayor's Mansion to anyone and hope to stay there again!
Claudia and Leo were fantastic hosts. Everything was tidy when I arrived, The room had a great view of the street below, and they were just very friendly overall.
I didn't use the room a lot while I was there (as I was out exploring) but none the less, it was perfect for what I needed. It also gave me a nice excuse to explore Brooklyn a little bit more.
Very generous, on time, and polite people. Would for sure stay there again!

- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (205 degrees C). Butter a 1 1/2 quart casserole dish. Bring a saucepan of lightly salted water to a boil. Add macaroni, and cook until not quite done, about 6 minutes. Drain.
- In a separate saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Blend in the flour, mustard powder, and pepper until smooth. Slowly stir in the milk, beating out any lumps. Add the American and processed cheeses, and stir constantly until the sauce is thick and smooth.
- Drain noodles, and stir them into the cheese sauce. Transfer the mixture to the prepared casserole dish. Sprinkle bread crumbs over the top.
- Cover the dish, and bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until sauce is thick and bubbly.

This recipe is to die for. However, I gave it 4 stars because I had to adjust it a bit to make it work. The other reviewers are right, the cheese to noodle ratio is way off. The mouse likes her cheese a little too much! The macaroni has to be doubled to 3 cups, and I found it does best in a roomy 2 or 2.5 quart casserole dish. Since I'm not a huge fan of so much velveeta and processed cheeses, I went out in search of the perfect blend and found Kraft's "Classic Melts" shredded cheese blend. It's a combo of American cheese, sharp cheddar, white cheddar, and monterey jack. I got two of the 8 oz. bags. I am pregnant, and this is my all-time #1 craving. Better than the Cracker Barrel's Mac & Cheese. :)
Excellent! And I agree with "bakechef" -don't use more macaroni! This is perfect just as is, as the pasta will absorb the "soupiness" either as it sets or as it bakes. Unless you want a gelatinous wad of pasty macaroni, "don't use more macaroni." This is classic macaroni and cheese just as it should be - creamy and cheesey and just plain comfort food good, with no sharp cheeses or extra, distracting spices or seasonings. I prepared this exactly as written, right down to the seasoned bread crumbs - for that I just crushed some herb crostini toasts. I can't see a mac and cheese recipe that could possibly be any better than this one.
This is great, whatever you do DON'T USE MORE MACARONI if you want the creamiest macaroni and cheese ever. The first time that I made it I thought that there was too little macaroni, but after it baked, it was absolutely perfect. I have also made this using 1/2 sharp cheddar and 1/2 american cheese and it was wonderful as well. I would suggest if making changes to still use 1/2 processed cheese like velveeta or american, as it lends to the creaminess of the sauce since it melts so well and doesn't separate like real cheeses such as cheddar, but I love using 1/2 sharp cheddar for flavor. This is my now standard recipe.

Letting Music Lead the Way Out of a Dark Week
A work by English composer Sir John Tavener had its world premiere in Washington on Sunday.
The London–based Legatum Institute came to Washington with a mission: To show the city of think tanks how it's done – not just differently, but in a way that soars out of the paradigm.
Arts and culture are the components the Legatum Institute adds to the usual array of think tank topics, in a rigorous yet exuberant spirit. In a gorgeous choral concert at the Washington National Cathedral yesterday, a newly commissioned work by the English composer, Sir John Tavener, had its world premiere– and guess what? There was Sir John himself to hear his "Three Hymns of George Herbert," performed for the first time by the City Choir of Washington.
There to greet Tavener was a full house on a bright shining afternoon, well–timed after a dark week with Boston brought to its knees. His presence under the neo–Gothic arches added immeasurably to the meaning, depth and sparkle of the Legatum event honoring the Queen's Diamond Jubilee.
Tavener, nearing 70 and ailing, somehow managed to create music again after a near–death experience in recent years. "They said I'd never write again. They said I'd never cross the Atlantic," he said, speaking of his doctors at a reception. In a bit of elegant English understatement, he said softly, "Thank you for noticing."
[See Photos: The Queen's Diamond Jubilee.]
It was hard not to notice, for his new work is bold, laced with a rush of richness and radiant harmony that seems to float outside of time – the raised voices answered by bells and an echo choir high in the back balcony. Literally, an uplifting experience and a dialogue across time with the 17th century English poet and country pastor, George Herbert.
For the composer, Tavener, the undertaking felt like a "re–baptism," a celebration of new life. Only at the end do the elegiac notes and nuances close in. The hymns are titled Heaven, Love and Life.
"Herbert can seem very simple while being highly profound, like Tavener," Hywel Williams, senior advisor on cultural programs at the Legatum Institute, said in an interview. An upcoming cultural project, he said, will survey the arts in 1913 and 1914, "the last year of peace" prior to the first World War.
Tavener first came to the public eye when the Beatles recorded his oratorio, The Whale, in 1968. As a believer, he belongs to the ancient Church of England choral tradition, but like Legatum, is apt to break boundaries or transcend them.

In a nod to Leo Tolstoy's devout Christianity, he put "Tolstoy's Creed" to music, almost a shout–out, which was also premiered yesterday. "Mystical" is the word Washington Post music critic Anne Midgette pins on Tavener, and it fits. His melodies may also deal in the realm of heartbreak, never more so than when his "Song for Athene" was heard at Princess Diana's funeral in 1997.
Jeffrey Gedmin, an American who is the institute's chief executive officer, said Legatum's multi–disciplinary approach does not treat arts and culture as a kind of a dessert nor as a diversion from the social sciences. Rather, he said, they are part of any society's sum and can make the sum larger than its parts in a ways that cannot always be measured in an index. Gedmin connected dots between his past and present by reaching out to his Vienna, Va. high school music teacher, the maestro Robert Shafer, who deftly conducted the concert.
In the end, Gedmin had orchestrated a rare convergence that clearly crossed (or blurred) Anglo–American lines. It was practically a public service after a bleak week. More than a thousand people swelled in a crescendo of emotion to the choir's rousing renditions of Tavener's works and a handful of classics, including "Jerusalem." But the anthem "God Save the Queen" brought the house down.

A sweeping elections bill that was moving through the state Senate on Wednesday would make it more difficult for lobbyists to "bundle" contributions for state candidates.
The legislation would make it illegal for lobbyists to collect checks from one or multiple donors and deliver them to state candidates. Previously, lobbyists were prohibited only from collecting contributions from multiple donors and delivering them to candidates, which is known as bundling.
The measure comes after a Charlotte law firm faced scrutiny for delivering contributions from the gaming industry in the past election.
The provision was tucked inside a broader nearly 60-page bill that would cut the number of early voting days, require voters to show government-issued IDs and eliminate several forms of registration. An earlier House version did not include the measure, but it was part of a substitute bill that emerged Tuesday from the Senate Rules and Operations Committee.
The General Assembly tightened restrictions on lobbyists in 2006 after a series of scandals, including the prosecution of former Democratic House Speaker Jim Black for lobbying law violations. That law also prohibited lobbyists from making contributions themselves.
The latest bill follows revelations this year that Chase Burns, an Oklahoma provider of gaming software who has been indicted in Florida, was the biggest contributor to North Carolina candidates in the past election cycle. Burns made many of his contributions through lobbyists from Moore & Van Allen, the Charlotte law firm where Gov. Pat McCrory worked until shortly before his inauguration.
Jane Pinsky, director of the N.C. Coalition for Lobbying & Government Reform, said the measure "looks good," noting it makes it "impossible to physically move a check from one person to another."
But she said the provision doesn't appear to address a bigger problem: the ability of lobbyists to solicit contributions on behalf of candidates by sending emails or forwarding fundraiser invitations.
"It would depend on how they define 'collect,' " Pinsky said. "I would say it should be anything that facilitates someone making contributions at your request."
Sen. Bob Rucho, a Matthews Republican, is a major force behind the Senate legislation, spending two hours on Tuesday defending the broader bill during a Rules Committee hearing. Critics have said the bill would make it harder for the elderly, poor, minorities and students to vote.
Rucho could not be reached for comment on the lobbying provision Wednesday, when the Senate began debating the bill.

NEW YORK (MarketWatch) -- Sprint Nextel Corp. /quotes/zigman/18855261/delayed/quotes/nls/s S -2.25% said Monday it agreed to acquire the roughly 50% stake in Clearwire Corp. it does not currently own for $2.97 a share. The deal, which was approved by Clearwire's board of directors, amounts to total payment to Clearwire shareholders, other than Sprint, of $2.2 billion and values the telecommunications firm at $10 billion, including net debt and spectrum lease obligations of $5.5 billion. Clearwire has received commitments from Comcast Corp. /quotes/zigman/89420/delayed/quotes/nls/cmcsk CMCSK -0.11% /quotes/zigman/89307/delayed/quotes/nls/cmcsa CMCSA -0.08% , Intel Corp. /quotes/zigman/20392/delayed/quotes/nls/intc INTC -0.03% and Bright House Networks LLC, which collectively own about 13% of Clearwire's voting shares, to support the deal. Softbank Corp. /quotes/zigman/139194/delayed JP:9984 +0.16% , which is buying 70% of Sprint, has provided its consent for the transaction. The merger deal comes a few days after Sprint proposed a buyout price of $2.90 a share. The price of $2.97 is equal to the amount paid to Clearwire founder Craig McCaw in a transaction earlier this year.

AAJ Communications
202.965.3500, x369
Washington, DC—Following the verdict in favor of the Chung family, American Association for Justice (AAJ) CEO Jon Haber issued this statement:
"A multi-million dollar lawsuit over a pair of pants was both ridiculous and offensive to our values. Our civil justice system must be reserved for those who seek fair compensation when they are the victim of true wrongdoing or negligence. The court has ruled wisely in this matter. Opponents of our civil justice system should pay heed to this decision—it clearly shows that the system works to deny outrageous and ridiculous claims."
AAJ has been sharply critical of Judge Pearson's lawsuit seeking $54 million in damages over a lost pair of pants. In April, AAJ CEO Jon Haber called on the District of Columbia Bar Association to conduct a disciplinary investigation of Judge Pearson for his conduct in this matter. Haber and AAJ President Lewis "Mike" Eidson pledged to support the defendant's defense fund and encouraged the AAJ membership to also contribute (http://www.customcleanersdefensefund.com/).

Gonzaga is probably going to win whatever fights he takes on a local level so he'll eventually be back in UFC so he have mixed results in the UFC again.
I think Gonzaga's will to fight was smacked out of him by randy carwin jds and so on.. he hasnt shown he wants to win fights, and by his comments I dont see him joining SF anytime soon i believe he wanted out of his contract.. wants to go back to normal life and the bjj.. guy can still make a mega living well not getting the shit kicked out of him..he's not a true MMA fighter he's a BJJ artist that got lost in the sport of MMA..n dont get started with that freakin headkick.
Not shocked by any means, he's such a waste of talent in my eyes. He always seems to go into a fight with no game plan what so ever and just sees where the fight takes him. If he could actually work a game plan and put everything in his arsenal to use he could be quite the force. But I don't feel this will ever really happen.
It's a shame because if Gonzaga had taken this fight to the ground, he would have had a huge advantage over Schaub and therefore could have saved his UFC contract. He seemed pre-occupied with trying to put on an exciting fight on his feet and KO Schaub. I'm sure we'll be seeing Gonzaga in Strikeforce really soon!

Now that he's not in the UFC, he can finally use his BJJ again... if he remembers how.
i think the ufc made a new rule that if you get knocked out by junior dos santos your getting cut sooner rather then later haha.
werdum, gonzaga, i would assume yvel was cut after losing 3 in a row and getting knocked out by JON MADSEN!, and struve isnt far away from getting his walking papers either if he didnt catch morecraft hed be gone right now.
gabe was cut for one simple reason.
his heart wasnt into it. look at the last fight. he offered nothing to very end. look how quickly he was in and going for a sub as the time ran out. im sorry, but if gabes heart was into it, he would of finished brendan in the first. that was his gimmie fight and he came out flat. that is why he was cut. gabe is a master on the gound......but if he isnt gonna put forth the effort............................................ ..........
i mean come on, sorry if anyone thinks this is fighter bashing but his last fight was shit. he is better than that. thats why he was cut. if he EVER puts the heart and effort into mma, he will be back in the ufc and near the top once again

i shoud have worded what i said better. my above post tells what i thought was funny. getting kicked in the nuts wasnt funny but his reaction to it was what was amusing to me
Sounds to me like he really is contemplating quitting. He said this before he was officially released:
Thanks everyone saying I should use my BJJ , but if I didn't use is because I couldn't ,more than everybody I want win my fights, I don't know way but I didn't fought well my lest fight, if I do fight again I hope win
Sounds like he's done fighting by the sounds of it... back to a normal life and BJJ forever.

As of Saturday, September 3, 2011
© Copyright 2014 Clayton News Daily
A car fell about 35 feet from a Georgia Department of Transportation (GDOT) construction site in Morrow, on Friday, and landed on its hood on the embankment below, according to Detective Sgt. Lawrence Oglesby, of the Morrow Police Department.
The incident occurred at approximately 10 a.m. "It came to rest flipped over," he said.
The woman driving was able to remove herself from the vehicle, and had visible trauma to her face, he said. She was in critical condition, and was transported to Grady Memorial Hospital in Atlanta by the Morrow Fire Department. The department arrived at the scene within about 4 minutes of the incident, he said.
The vehicle was found with orange construction tape under its hood, he added.
"It might have been a condition where her brakes might have gone out," said Oglesby, guessing at the cause of the accident.
The woman was driving a 2001 Nissan Maxima, he said.
The driver, about 20 years old, took a right turn onto Jonesboro Road in Morrow, from Southlake Parkway, he explained. She cut through the construction site and traveled 920 feet on the gravel before the vehicle plunged below, he said.
"There were signs posted not to enter ... The construction area is down below I-75," he said. The construction site also had orange barrels to block traffic from entering the site, said Oglesby. The construction project is creating ramps, and widening roads in the area near exit 233. "Everything is visibly marked," he said.

INFLUENTIAL LEADERSHIP (4 hours)
Welcome to the new age of influence, where effective leaders don't, or can't, throw their weight around to make things happen...even with their direct reports. You'll learn influencing strategies and how to package ideas to gain the commitment of even the most skeptical coworkers and partners. Get your good ideas heard, accepted, and enacted.

This course builds awareness of these traps and strategies, helping leaders create an environment in which people take risks, identify and solve problems, and work together.

BLUFFDALE, UTAH — Eleven Utah veterans whose remains went unclaimed after they died have been honored with a military funeral.
The Missing in America Project organized the ceremony Thursday at Veterans Memorial Chapel in Bluffdale. The organization identifies veterans whose families havent come forward to collect their remains, and works to find the next of kin.
If they cant, they recognize them in a ceremony like the one Thursday, which included a procession to the cemetery, an honor guard and taps.
Their cremated remains will be buried alongside 15 other veterans honored in a funeral two years ago.
Those honored were Robert Clifford Baird, Wayne Monroe Butcher, John Eaton Cox, Dennis Fischer, Howard William Gnadt, Ralph George Hartley, George August Heitschmidt, Irvin Nickisch, Gary Andrew Savold, Jimmie Wayne Tackitt and Dexter Kent Wilson.

Matthew Herper, Forbes Staff
I cover science and medicine, and believe this is biology's century.
During the Super Bowl, a representative of the pharmaceutical company Eli Lilly posted the on the company's corporate blog that the average cost of bringing a new drug to market is $1.3 billion, a price that would buy 371 Super Bowl ads, 16 million official NFL footballs, two pro football stadiums, pay of almost all NFL football players, and every seat in every NFL stadium for six weeks in a row. This is, of course, ludicrous.
The average drug developed by a major pharmaceutical company costs at least $4 billion, and it can be as much as $11 billion.

The drug industry has been tossing around the $1 billion number for years. It is based largely on a study (supported by drug companies) by Joseph DiMasi of Tufts University. It's a nice number for the pharmaceutical industry, because it seems to justify the idea that medicines should be pricey (and increasingly, they can be very pricey, costing tens of thousands of dollars per patient per year) without making it seem that inventing new medicines is so expensive an endeavor as to be ultimately futile.
But as Bernard Munos of the InnoThink Center for Research In Biomedical Innovation has noted, just adjusting that estimate for current failure rates results in an estimate of $4 billion in research dollars spent for every drug that is approved. But Munos showed me another figure, where he divided each drug company's R&D budget by the average number of drugs approved. This was far more dramatic.
Wanting to make this even more rigorous, Forbes (that would be Scott DeCarlo and me) took Munos' count of drug approvals for the major pharmas and combined it with their research and development spending as reported in annual earnings filings going back fifteen years, pulled from a Thomson Reuters database using FactSet. We adjusted all the figures for inflation. Using both drug approvals and research budgets since 1997 keeps the estimates being skewed by short-term periods when R&D budgets or drug approvals changed dramatically.
The range of money spent is stunning. AstraZeneca has spent $12 billion in research money for every new drug approved, as much as the top-selling medicine ever generated in annual sales; Amgen spent just $3.7 billion. At $12 billion per drug, inventing medicines is a pretty unsustainable business. At $3.7 billion, you might just be able to make money (a new medicine can probably keep generating revenue for ten years; invent one a year at that rate and you'll do well).
There are lots of expenses here. A single clinical trial can cost $100 million at the high end, and the combined cost of manufacturing and clinical testing for some drugs has added up to $1 billion. But the main expense is failure. AstraZeneca does badly by this measure because it has had so few new drugs hit the market. Eli Lilly spent roughly the same amount on R&D, but got twice as many new medicines approved over that 15 year period, and so spent just $4.5 billion per drug.
Next: Slate's Bad Math
In the end, everybody involved in the decision making process of purchasing a drug is a consumer, and therefore subject to emotions and emotional manipulation. There is value and there is perceived value in any product.
Would I really look better in a $5,000 suit? Who knows?
"Lemon" or not, perceived value is a funny thing. I wonder what we would be willing to pay for a drug if we knew the actual cost of producing it (including R&D).
You make a great point in "me-too's" with proton-pump inhibitors. So I ask myself, why did we have Vimovo shoved down our throat when EC-Naprosyn was just fine as a generic? Talk about a novel use for a PPI. And what's the deal with the changes in colchicine?
Sometimes our "old" drugs work just fine and pharmaceutical companies that are searching for more profits develop and market drugs that aren't needed citing high R&D costs to justify their sticker price at the pharmacy. And I've just cited two examples.
I don't agree that drug companies would 'hide R&D money somewhere else' if they could. Accounting may well be an art, but the bias would be to add expense to within R&D rather than subtract from it. The reason is the more favorable tax treatment for monies (in the US anyway) spent on R&D i.e. the annually renewed R&D tax credit.
While such an analysis will always have a timing bias to it due to the very long drug development cycles, and fails to capture the economic value of the individual drugs developed, I think your use of the large decade-plus window does as good a job of smoothing this as is likely practical. Still, I worry that the analysis may tell more about how the company tries to manage its tax status than about the true cost of drug development.
Your comment, "Every time a company cuts R&D its stock goes up.", which is essentially accurate, fairly clearly says that the biggest funders of Pharma R&D ("Wall Street") have effectively been rewarding cutting R&D. Doesn't that suggest that part of the problem Wall Street is concerned about, too few drugs in the pipeline, arose to some extent from Wall Street's own influence on R&D strategy? Seems crazy, but that's how it seems to me, but maybe that's because I don't understand art…
I do not think it is all taxes, I just wished to acknowledge a bias exists for R&D spend over other areas that could effect the measure. The numbers you show are still pretty daunting and clearly well over the prior Tufts numbers. Wall Street does not care much for any increasing rubric other than profits. Yes it punishes high R&D expense, but high SG&A and tax rates are similarly disdained. The street typically considers all these as a % of sales though, not as per NME as you have in this piece.
R&D did indeed suffer greatly in regards to jobs lost, but more of these losses came from within non tax favored SG&A segment, as can be seen in the comments of your link (ironically as part of our exchange there).
Casalera – Excellent point. Both profits and expenses are positioned off- and onshore according to varying situations between firms. Given tax advantages of R&D in some of those situations, many marketing-driven Phase IV efforts are defined as R&D, when arguments can be made that they are marketing or advertising costs. I have seen firms where such expenses approach 25% or more of a given therapeutic area's total "R&D costs".
Laws governing reporting as well as tax situations vary according to country of basis. Something like that could well cause the huge differences between AZ (based non-US?) and those headquartered here.
Yes, developing new drugs is risky and expensive as hell, and performance trends have been abysmal. Still, the question is who is doing well in terms of improving risk-adjusted ROI? Peer-to-peer as well as competing "against your own past performance"? AZ may actually be doing better now, than this implies.
Rick makes a good point that offsetting spend to match results makes sense when it takes 10-12 years to reap returns on R&D. I have found it useful to weight the spend offset in this way to five years. In other words, 1995-2005 spending should be divided by approved drugs in the 2000-2010 period.
Finally, the "peak sales" and such that others mention is important, but almost as misleading as "number of approvals". Compare apples to apples; the net spend against the net income makes more sense. Total R&D spending is OK, but should be measured against the NPV of the approved drugs revenue stream – projected forward. This avoids bias from sales curves and captures the all-important impact of time to patent expiry. Then one begins to measure the real BUSINESS performance of this industry. I address some of these fundamental metrics on my blog; randdreturns.com
EC-Naprosyn isn't a PPI, it's an NSAID. Vimovo was "shoved down our throats" because it's naproxen and the (S)-enantiomer of omeprazole (a PPI), hence making it actually appropriate for treating some GI disorders.
Perhaps you meant to ask why AZ shoved Vimovo down our throats when we already had Prilosec as the racemate of omeprazole? That would be a valid question, and the (not-entirely-satisfactory) answer to that is because a portion of the population lacks the proper amount of cytochrome P450 to metabolize the inactive (R)-enantiomer to the active (S)-enantiomer, thus doubling the efficacy in said patients (or, read another way, avoiding the need to double dosage of omeprazole).
And pure FDA corruption is behind that license for colchicine, but that's not really apropos of this discussion, since no real testing occurred and practically no R&D expenditure was attached anyway.
Whoops, that was directed at the holistic "doctor" Ken Romeo above.
Come on guys, the major pharmaceutical companies do very little original research. They leave that to various other entities like research departments of various colleges and universities or independent researchers working through the NIH. What pharmaceutical companies do is buy promising compounds and do the required research to move them into the market place. They are masters of taking nothing and turning it into something. They do pay licensing fees to the original research entities to keep them on the hook to provide more advances. I could decrease my inventory by 1/2 if I could get rid of all the overpriced me-too drugs that have served not as a therapeutic advance with in a drug class.

The Norman Transcript
NORMAN — Cleveland County Court Appointed Special Advocates is currently in need of child advocate volunteers.
The next volunteer advocate training session is scheduled to begin with a volunteer orientation class at 5:30 p.m. Jan. 28 at the Norman Regional Health System Education Center, 901 N. Porter Ave.
CASA training is free and open to the public. Training is approximately 30 hours and includes juvenile court docket observation. Sessions begin at 5:30 p.m. and last approximately two to two-and-a-half hours long, unless otherwise noted.
CASA volunteers speak for the interests of approximately 100 abused and neglected children in the community. However, they continue to receive referrals of children who need advocates. The program serves children in Cleveland, McClain and Garvin counties.
"They (the children) need a voice in court — someone who is only there to represent their best interests — someone to urge the system to work harder to find them safe, permanent and loving homes either back with their parents or through adoptive placements," a CASA press release stated. "We hope you will consider providing a voice for a child in the child welfare/juvenile justice system."
Since training is hosted during the dinner hour, bringing a brown bag or carry-out meal is encouraged. Dress is casual.
Participants may register by email to email@example.com or by calling the CASA office at 360-5295.
For more information about CASA, visit www.clevelandcountycasa.org or check out Cleveland County CASA on Facebook.

Festive fun lights up Milford Haven
11:13am Monday 9th December 2013 in News
SANTA CHAT: Ewan Larsen, 6, from Milford Haven, tells Father Christmas what he's been up to this year. PICTURE: Western Telegraph (2898967)
THE countdown to Christmas has officially started in Milford Haven, as hundreds of people joined in the fun at the town's annual lantern parade and lights switch-on.
Led by Milford Haven Town Band, the cast from the Torch Theatre's pantomime Aladdin, and a host of elves and Victorian ladies, families marched through the streets of Milford on Saturday evening, holding a variety of decorated lanterns aloft.
Father Christmas joined in for the last leg along Hamilton Terrace to the Town Hall, where his Christmas grotto had been decorated by Year 10 pupils from Milford Haven School.
Mayor of Milford Haven, Cllr Yvonne Southwell, thanked the crowd for "doing Milford proud" by turning out in their hundreds, and Father Christmas for "interrupting his busy schedule" to visit the town.
She also thanked everyone who had helped put the festivities together, including Milford Haven Round Table, Milford Haven Port Authority, South Hook LNG, officers from Milford Haven Police Station and radio presenter Jim Hughes.
Chairman of the Christmas Lights committee, Cllr Tony Eden, was also congratulated on his work in securing new lights for the town, and his fellow councillors were thanked for their help as road marshals.
The lights were then blessed by Father Harri Williams, before the big countdown. Helping the Mayor with the switch-on were 'best Christmas picture or poem competition' winners Kenzie Sadler-Norman, 5, Gracie Davies, 5, and Spencer Bate, 10, all from Hakin Community School.
Also helping out on the night were members of Milford Haven Youth Forum, Rhys Johnson, Ellie Boer, Blake Wonnacott, and Jade and Bethany Roberts.
"Everyone seems to have had a great time, which is what it's all about," said Cllr Southwell.

---- — New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg's heart was in the right place on the sugary-beverage ban he proposed, but his head wasn't.
The way the would-be law was constructed, it was so unfair to so many interests that it stood no chance of being enacted.
Bloomberg, an outspoken advocate for healthy living, was moved by statistics that show obesity to be a leading and growing American health problem. It's aggravating to the mayor and others because it is a problem that, in a sizable percentage of cases, can be corrected by a simple concept: will power.
That's not to say that if everyone laid off giant sodas there would be no obesity. Many overweight people had the stage set for their dimensions when their genes were activated. Others have health conditions over which they have no control.
But Bloomberg is on to something. Sugary drinks are the undoing of too many potentially healthy people — and are significant contributors to health costs for all of us, as a result.
So in the interests of overweight individuals and the rest of the paying public, Bloomberg declared that containers of over 16 ounces of non-diet soft drinks would be banned in New York City eateries.
The trouble was, he said nothing about exotic creamy, sugary coffee drinks, and he said nothing about stores that sold 32-ouncers. According to the State Supreme Court, that made the law arbitrary and, therefore, unenforceable.
The mayor, in typical Bloomberg fashion, reacted by saying the fight was not over. He insisted he will appeal and win.
But he will have to make some changes, whether he likes it or not. Government fiat regarding big containers of soda is not the same as limiting alcohol or tobacco sales.
For one thing, while health-care costs are unquestionably the responsibility of every citizen, alcohol and tobacco consumption have an even more direct effect on innocent bystanders. Drunk drivers kill indiscriminately, and so does second-hand smoke. You don't have to be drinking or smoking to suffer the consequences of those activities. Big soft drinks aren't going to hurt anyone but the over-user.
And what about the only occasional buyer of the large soft drinks? Can't thirsty customers have a rare spree with 24 ounces of Coke if they feel like it?
The law was bound to be controversial because it smacks of government overstepping considerably. But Bloomberg has demonstrated amply, during his time in office, that controversy is no deterrent to him when it comes to doing what he believes is right for his constituents. You have to admire his spunk, even if you abhor some of his measures.
He is going to have a hard time satisfying the courts on this one, though. There's a lot more to taking a big cup of Pepsi out of the hand of a parched patron than meets the eye. Or the law.

— Here's a chance for some really interesting music this afternoon. The Raya Brass Band, from Brooklyn, will play for a dance at the Moose Exchange on Main Street in Bloomsburg from 3-6 p.m., and it's free. They play eastern European dance music on reeds, trumpet, accordion, tuba and drums, and it sure sounds like fun. I listened to a bit of their music on their web site, and I wish I could be there, just to see and hear what happens.
The Burgess-Mitchell-Seal Trio hosts the Sunday jazz workshop at the Bullfrog Brewery on Fourth Street in Williamsport from noon-4 p.m. Later this evening, Hannah Bingman has a solo stand at Turkey Hill Brewing Co. on Central Road in Bloomsburg from 7-9 p.m.

With stroke, timing is everything
Did you know?
- 700,000 people in the United States suffer from stroke annually
- 10 percent of stroke survivors recover almost completely
- 25 percent recover with minor impairments
- 40 percent experience moderate to severe impairments requiring special care
10 percent require care in a nursing home or other long-term care facility
Whether you're talking about prevention, treatment or the incidence of stroke, the numbers tell the story. Stroke is the third-leading cause of death and the No. 1 cause of disability in the United States. Preventing it requires you to keep your cholesterol levels and blood pressure low. And when it comes to treatment, there's an important number as well – time.
"Time is of the essence," says Robert Bulas, M.D., a board-certified neuroradiologist with The Christ Hospital. "There is a three-hour window from the onset of symptoms to treat a stroke with minimal brain damage."
Stroke is essentially an injury to the brain. Much like a heart attack involves a block in blood flow to the heart, a stroke involves a disruption in blood flow to the brain. It's sometimes referred to as a "brain attack." The more time oxygen-rich blood is restricted from the brain, the worse the injury. This is why the faster you recognize the symptoms and get to the ER, the quicker physicians can diagnose and treat you.
Understanding stroke
The most common type of stroke (ischemic) occurs when a blood clot forms and blocks blood flow to the brain. Clots are more common in people who smoke or have diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, heart disease and a family history of stroke. Symptoms can include a sudden onset of:
- Slurring or difficulty speaking
- Confusion
- Numbness or weakness of the face, arm or leg, especially on one side of the body
- Loss of vision
- Dizziness
- Loss of balance
- Acute onset of a severe headache.
"Get to the emergency room if you have any of these symptoms, even if they last only for a few minutes and then resolve," Dr. Bulas says.
Mini-stroke, maximum attention
Even subtle warning signs shouldn't be ignored; they could be an indication of more serious problems. A transient ischemic attack, or TIA, is considered a "mini-stroke," and can briefly produce symptoms similar to an actual stroke, but without permanent brain damage. Consider TIAs a warning sign; they are typically precursors to an actual stroke. "In any case, these are still brain attacks and should be treated as emergencies," Dr. Bulas says.
Timely treatments minimize damage
Anyone presenting with stroke symptoms at The Christ Hospital will quickly undergo a CT scan of the brain to differentiate between an ischemic and hemorrhagic (bleeding of the brain) stroke and determine the course of treatment.
If blood flow to the brain is restricted, doctors may administer a clot-busting drug called tissue plasminogen activator (t-PA), which dissolves clots in the blood vessel. "These blood thinners are most effective at restoring blood flow and saving the brain when given within three hours of the onset of symptoms," Dr. Bulas says. "In other words, get to the ER fast."

Strangles outbreak closes New York horse track
Equine distemper was confirmed in several horses at the track on March 22. The racetrack immediately began monitoring horses, says Board Chairman John D. Sabini. No horses have died as a result of the outbreak. While Strangles is considered a highly contagious bacterial infection of the upper respiratory tract, it is not inherently life threatening, the board says.
The board approved a request to cancel live racing at the track until April 11 after consulting with track management, reports Dr. David Smith, state veterinarian and director of Animal Industry at the New York State Department of Agriculture and Markets. Veterinarians will continue monitoring and isolating any infected horses at the track, he says.
All missed race dates will be made up at a later date, the board reports.

Novalima On World Cafe
By editor
Formed by four Peruvian high-school friends in 2001, Novalima has been making traditional music sound sultry and modern ever since. In the past decade, the group has grown to a nine-piece band that's helping change the way the world thinks about world music.
Novalima's sound has evolved over the course of its four albums, and the group continues to span a wide range of Afro-Peruvian cultural influences — everything from pop and rock to salsa, reggae and dance music pop up on the club-friendly new Karimba, which draws its strength from both the urgency of traditional sounds and the rush of the new.
Here, Novalima discusses the making of Karimba and plays live on World Cafe.
