A balanced scoring attack that saw 10 players net at least one goal, the Pride 13 unanswered goals at one point bridging the two halves as it advanced to the semifinals. With the win, the Pride improve to 10-6 and will take on Wellesley at 2:30 pm at top-seeded Babson College. The Lyons' season comes to a close with a record of 2-13.
The Pride raced out to a quick 3-0 lead just 2:41 into the game after Kaeleigh Lannan, Jennifer Zubkus, and Alexandra Bazzano all found the back of the cage. However, back-to-back goals from Ava Gottschall brought the visitors within one at the 22:57 mark. After Heather Dobson took a feed from Zubkus, she tip-toed the crease and jammed her shot past the near post to go up 4-2 with 17:25 on the clock. With the first half seeing both teams scoring at a break neck pace, the Lyons netted the next two tallies off goals from Danielle Babcock and Peggy Wefald to knot the game at four with 14:56 to play. Wefald tallied her goal after a pretty spin move off a Pride defender, and gave Coach Katie Hawke reason to call the first timeout of the game.
Out of the timeout, the Pride responded in impressive fashion, shutting out the Lyons for the rest of the opening stanza. In the final 14:56 of the half, Springfield rattled off eight unanswered goals to take a commanding 12-4 lead into halftime. The Pride held a 21-9 advantage on shots in the first half, as Bazzano led the way with three goals and an assist, including two scores in the eight-goal run for SC.
Springfield opened up the half tallying the first five goals of the stanza, including Bazzano's tally just 34 seconds into the second half. Miriam Blumenfeld netted the lone goal of the half for the visitors off a feed from Gottschall at the 18:04 mark.
Doolan, Bazzano, and Lannan all finished with four goals, while Lampros added two goals and two assists. Lauren McAulay made three saves in the cage, all coming in the first half.
For the game, Springfield outshot Mount Holyoke, 36-11, including 15-2 in the second half. Gottschall led the way with two goals and an assist in the loss.

The management team behind Liquidia Technologies, a Research Triangle Park drug-development company, has created a new company to focus exclusively on using Liquidias technology to develop ophthalmology products.
The new company, Envisia Therapeutics, announced Tuesday that it has raised $25 million from a group of venture capital firms that also have invested more than $50 million in Liquidia.
Liquidia and Envisia will share the same senior management team, and about one-third of Liquidias roughly 60 employees will become employees of Envisia.
Neal Fowler, who will be CEO of both companies, said that Liquidias efforts to develop ophthalmology products have shown such promise that it made sense to spin out that work into a separate company.
Envisias lead product is an extended-release implant that replaces the need for glaucoma patients to use daily eye drops. Fowler said the compliance rate for patients using daily eye drops is just 30 to 50 percent among the elderly. Envisias implant product, ENV515, lasts for several months.
The patient goes and sees the ophthalmologist and then doesnt have to worry on a daily basis about any kind of utilization of drops or anything like that, Fowler said. These implants will basically replace the drops.
The Food and Drug Administration has given Envisia the go-ahead to begin human clinical trials, Fowler said. The first ENV515 trial is expected to begin by the middle of next year.
Envisia is targeting a sizable market. About 2 million people in the United States are treated annually for glaucoma. About $13 billion was spent on ophthalmology products in 2011, a figure that is expected to rise to $20 billion by 2018 as the countrys population ages, according to EvaluatePharma.
Envisia is also licensing Liquidias proprietary Particle Replication In Non-Wetting Templates, or PRINT, technology to develop other ocular therapies. PRINT enables precise engineering of the size and shape of microscopic particles, which can then be combined with drugs for delivery to targeted tissues within the body.
The technology has the potential to make the drugs safer because they only go where theyre supposed to go and more effective, because more concentrated doses can be used.
Liquidia was founded in 2004 based on the nanotechnology research of renowned scientist Joseph DeSimone, whos on the faculty of both N.C. State University and UNC-Chapel Hill. DeSimone founded the company with colleagues from UNC.
Envisia and Liquidias investors include Canaan Partners, New Enterprise Associates, Durham-based Pappas Ventures, Morningside Technology Ventures and Wakefield Group.
Liquidia has already licensed the rights to its proprietary nanotechnology to GlaxoSmithKline. The pharmaceutical giant is using the platform in conjunction with its own compounds to develop vaccines and inhaled drugs for respiratory diseases. The multiyear deal with GSK could ultimately be worth up to several hundred million dollars.
Liquidia also continues to explore other possible applications, including in the areas of consumer products, oncology and dermatology.
Its a tremendous platform, and we think it has broad utilization across many areas and well continue to explore that, Fowler said.

The Valdosta Daily Times
PENSACOLA, Fla. —
The Valdosta State softball team earned two Gulf South Conference victories on Wednesday, sweeping a doubleheader against West Florida.
Courtney Albritton hit a seventh inning home run to propel Valdosta State to a 5-4 victory in game 1, while the Blazers used a six-run first inning to claim an 11-5 victory in game 2.
With the wins, the top-ranked Blazers are now 18-3 this season, and 5-1 in the Gulf South Conference.
In game 1, the score was tied 4-4 when Albritton stepped into the box to lead off the top of the seventh, and drilled a pitch over the fence for a solo home run, giving the Blazers a 5-4 lead.
VSU starter Brianna Hancock (5-1) held the Argonauts scoreless in the bottom of the seventh, and closed out the win.
Valdosta State opened the scoring in the top of the third inning. With one out, Hannah Strickland doubled to right center and Albritton walked, and the runners moved up on a fly out by Morgan Johnson. Then Shelby Altman singled through the right side, scoring Strickland and Albritton and giving VSU a 2-0 lead.
West Florida (10-8, 4-2) got a run back in the bottom of the third when Hannah Dowling scored on a throwing error on a fielder's choice. But VSU's Ashley Steinhilber hit her third home run of the season in the fourth inning to put the Blazers in front 3-1.
Dowling drove home two UWF runs in the bottom of the fourth to even the score at 3-3. VSU collected an unearned run in the fifth inning, and the Argonauts once again evened the game on a sacrifice fly in the sixth inning. Then Albritton hit her team-leading eighth home run of the year in the top of the seventh to give her team the win.
Hancock pitched a complete game, allowing nine hits and four runs. West Florida pitcher Taylor Bailey fell to 6-3 after giving up eight hits and five runs, four earned, in a complete game effort.
In the second game, Valdosta State jumped out to a big lead with six runs in the top of the first inning.
Albritton walked and stole second to open the game, then Johnson also walked. Altman reached on an infield single to load the bases. Karson King singled to score both Albritton and Johnson. Brittany Britt pinch ran for King and stole second, then Sarah Vaughn singled home Altman. Two batters later, Fran Johnson singled home both base runners and scored when Kiley Rusen singled off relief pitcher Lauren Register to give VSU a 6-0 lead.
West Florida got two runs in the bottom of the first inning, making it 6-2.
VSU added to its lead with three runs in the fifth inning. With Steinhilber and pinch runner April Collins on base, Strickland tripled to right to score both base runners, and scored on a two-out single by Morgan Johnson to push the Blazer advantage to 9-2.
Valdosta State added two more runs in the sixth inning. Rusen singled home Steinhilber and Sarah Vaughn. West Florida's Elizabeth Nugent and Hannah Camp collected RBI singles and Audrey Harner hit a sacrifice fly in the bottom of the frame to close UWF to within 11-5.
Kenzi Reed gave up seven hits and four runs in 5 1/3 innings to up her season record to 8-1. Meanwhile, Jordan Ratliff surrendered four hits and six runs in just a third of an inning to fall to 4-4.
Strickland was 3 for 6 with three runs scored and two driven in to lead the Blazers offensively in the game. Rusen and Albritton also had three hits each and Altman tallied four.
Valdosta State returns to action on Saturday at 3 p.m., when it travels to Livingston, Ala. for a GSC doubleheader against West Alabama.

Charlie Sheen's December 2009 run-in with the law wasn't his first. The Golden Globe winner has been plagued by drug addiction and accusations of domestic violence. Take a look back at some of Sheen's personal and professional highs and lows.
Following allegations by InTouch Weekly that Charlie Sheen was caught cheating on wife Brooke Mueller with alleged escort Angelina Tracy, a rep for the actor told Access Hollywood the mag's report is not what it seems.
The mag published photos of Sheen claiming that on April 7 he was seen wearing a disguise of a fake moustache, hooded sweatshirt and shades while leaving the apartment of his alleged mistress – who reportedly charges $3,000 per hour.
Sheen was reportedly seen less than 10 minutes later, but the moustache was gone. He was still sporting the same sunglasses, jacket, hooded sweatshirt and jeans and even the same sneakers.
However, Sheen's rep told Access the visit was an attempt to help a friend and that "[s]ince Sheen knew he was being followed and how this would look, he wore the moustache in a tongue and cheek disguise gesture."

CHICAGO (MarketWatch) -- The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission has recalled 800,000 Fisher-Price Newborn Rock 'n Play Sleepers due to mold hazards. The issue with the Chinese-made products is that mold can build up between the seat cushion and the plastic frame, leading to exposure to infants who are sleeping in it. Fisher-Price, a unit of Mattel /quotes/zigman/75129/delayed/quotes/nls/mat MAT -0.90% , has gotten 600 reports of mold on the sleepers with 16 consumers reporting their tots have had to get treatment for respiratory issues, coughs and hives as a result. The products have been sold at stores and online since September 2009 for between $50 and $85.

Few states have undergone a transformation like North Carolina has experienced since World War II the end of Jim Crow, the rise of two-party politics, the decline of textiles and tobacco, and the kudzu-like Sunbelt growth.
Tom Eamon has been watching these changes unfold all his life in recent decades as a political science professor at East Carolina University. He has put his keen observations into a new book, The Making of a Southern Democracy: North Carolina Politics from Kerr Scott to Pat McCrory.
Eamons is the most comprehensive account to date of postwar Tar Heel politics, providing an insightful guide to the states political psyche. His book is peppered with short, sharply drawn sketches of key leaders, discussions of trends, electoral maps and election results.
He focuses on four major themes: the states movement away from racial segregation; the development of a two-party system; important elections; and leadership and personalities.
His judgments are always sound. While the state has made great progress on race, Eamon notes that deep racial cleavages remain. North Carolina is likely to remain hotly contested political ground for the foreseeable future, he concludes.
Eamon is a believer in the great man or woman theory of history, that strong personalities such as Jim Hunt, Terry Sanford, Kerr Scott and Jesse Helms can make a difference in the direction of a state.
Sanford, governor from 1961 to 1965, was one such figure who helped push the state into a moderate path, particularly regarding civil rights and education, Eamon writes.
Other figures have been more charismatic, superior speakers and maybe more politically astute, he writes, but no major state official so aggressively pushed North Carolina toward new frontiers frontiers that many people had no desire to cross. Sanford envisioned a state that would lead the way in education and economic development.
Eamon declares Helms, the five-term senator, a political giant, much too big and complex for a simple epitaph.
He also tries to resurrect the careers of sometimes-overlooked figures, singling out Dan Moore (1965-69), a conservative Democrat, as one of our most underrated governors.
Eamons book is filled with important insights. He notes, for example, that North Carolina remained in the Democratic column years after most of the South was voting Republican.
In the 1960 presidential contest, John F. Kennedy ran stronger in Eastern North Carolina than in Massachusetts or New York City, Eamon writes.
In the 1964 presidential race between Democratic President Lyndon B. Johnson and Republican Sen. Barry Goldwater of Arizona, North Carolina gave Johnson his biggest margin in the South except for LBJs home state of Texas. Eamon cites the importance of the federal tobacco price support program down east, support for the Tennessee Valley Authority in the mountains, and the imprint of economic populism and memories of Roosevelts New Deal as reasons.
Eastern North Carolina was the only region of its kind in the South lowland rural with a large but historically shut-out black population to vote for Johnson over Goldwater, Eamon writes.
In later years, four-term Democratic Gov. Hunts superior coalition-building skills kept the state from becoming Republican, he contends.
Eamon says Republicans are likely to control the legislature for the next decade because of their power over redistricting. But he makes no long-term predictions about the state, which has trended more Democratic in presidential races.
So far, he argues, two-party politics has not resulted in more responsive politics but more polarization and downright hostility between the two political parties.
For anyone interested in North Carolina politics, Eamons book will be an essential reference.

OTTUMWA — In November, the Holiday Nights 'N Lights will once again be back in Ottumwa.
This event is possible because of a huge number of sponsors and volunteers that put together the 1-mile, spectacular, lighted display. Holiday Nights 'N Lights is a community event that attracts visitors from all over Iowa and several other states. In 2012, more than 16,400 visitors came through the gates to see the displays.
Concern has been expressed by the event organizers for the long-term future of the event.
"It's a major event that takes a team of 15 individuals, led by volunteer Chuck Bates, almost three weeks to set up," says Chamber of Commerce Director Tim Kurtz. "Although we have a wonderful event committee dedicated to the success of the event, additional assistance is needed to keep this event in Ottumwa, especially after this year."
Requests are being made to see if another service group would be willing to share the duties, especially the setup and take down. The concern is that if additional groups are not found, the project may not continue after 2013.
Ayone interested in volunteering or sponsoring a display can call Brenda at 641-682-3465.

Sheriff Ed Robb is responsible for developing the policies and procedures to keep courts in Albemarle County safe.
He does it, "The best I can. With emphasis on best I can," he said.
The reason why there's an emphasis on "best I can," is because Robb is limited by the law.
According to state law, sheriffs are responsible for providing manpower, and the judges and county are responsible for the physical security of the courts. Right now, said Robb, the courts are too people friendly.
"There should only be one entrance and exit for the public. Well, we have more than one entrance to the public. And there shouldn't be so much glass," said Robb.
This also goes for Robb's office, which he calls a fishbowl. For anyone who wants to harm him, only a plate of glass stands in the way.
Commonwealth Attorney Jim Camblos faults the age of the courthouse for these vulnerabilities.
"It would be nice to have only one way in and one way out, but you just don't have that luxury with a building this old," said Camblos.
Robb also doesn't have the luxury of enough manpower to carry out all the duties the law specifies.
"When we see that there's a need to man the metal detector at the circuit court, then we have to sacrifice the other services that the sheriff's office does," explained Robb.
But with the low amount of incidents, it is safe to say that Albemarle County Sheriff's office does a very good job.

Associated Press
ATLANTA — Georgia lawmakers plan to end their annual legislative session in late March.
A resolution adopted Thursday by the House of Representatives has set the final day for March 28. The last day is commonly called Sine Die, which means adjourning without setting another meeting. House Majority Leader Larry O'Neal said there is a possibility the schedule could be changed depending on how quickly a budget is passed.
By law, the General Assembly meets only 40 working days annually.
Lawmakers usually spend the final day frantically voting on last-minute legislation. Bills not approved by both the House and Senate by Day 40 automatically fail for the year.

Two of the best moments in Adam Norton's life happened the week the Seattle Seahawks made history.
For a lifelong fan, nothing could top Super Bowl XLVIII. The Eatonville resident watched the clock wind down with tears in his eyes as the Hawks won their first NFL championship in franchise history.
Three days later on Feb. 5 at the victory parade in Seattle, Tracey Norton said her husband was "giddy" as the Vince Lombardi Trophy glided past his family at the corner of Fourth Avenue and Cherry Street.
Then, just two days later, Adam Norton's heart unexpectedly stopped beating. He was 38 years old, living with a congenital heart defect that appeared to be under control.
"It was just a normal day," Tracey Norton said. "I felt like I left my body and I haven't come back into it yet."
More than a month after Adam's death, his 12th Man flag still flies outside the family home, where Tracey is raising the couple's three sons — Cannen, 10; Baley, 13; and Hunter, 15.
The Nortons, gathered around their table last weekend in their Seahawks gear, shuffled through Adam's memorabilia spread out next to picture collages of the "goofball" husband and father.
The family is adjusting to what Tracey calls "a new normal," but they continue to live the way Adam did — full of joy, and dressed in blue and green.
"He loved the Seahawks as much as he loved all of us," she said.
Adam Norton gushed about his Seahawks devotion for a January article in The News Tribune. Even before the divisional playoffs, he was confident the team would make it to the big game.
He and his wife grew up in fanatic households. Season tickets were handed down in the family "since Day 1 of their existence," Adam said in an email, and "on Seahawk Sunday there was nothing else going on in the world but the game."
A decade ago, the couple got "XIITHMN" license plates for their SUV, and Adam said he loved getting honks and cheers while driving around.
He was a season-ticket holder for 11 years, until making a sacrifice two seasons ago for his oldest son. Hunter's class was taking a trip to Washington, D.C., and paying for it was expensive.
"I had to make the hardest decision I've ever made," Adam wrote. "I gave up my seats so he could go on the trip of a lifetime."
That didn't keep the Nortons from CenturyLink Field. Adam would buy single-game tickets and said "it was always a battle to see which of the boys got to go with dad on the train to the game."
When they weren't at the stadium, the Nortons watched from home with the same rituals: firing up the grill no matter the weather, and eating Tracey's homemade pretzels and double-chocolate-chip cookies with the same group of friends.
Hunter was even forbidden from watching the game with them — a superstition born in the team's first win of the season when the boy was practicing guitar in his room while listening to cheers from downstairs.
"I couldn't know anything," Hunter said. "Those were the rules."
On Super Bowl Sunday, rituals remained the same, but tensions were high.
Tracey said her husband feared a repeat of the heartbreak in the Seahawks' first Super Bowl appearance following the 2005-2006 season.
She teased that he needed to calm down and take it easy.
After the Seahawks beat the Broncos, he cheered and hugged friends and family before standing outside in the yard waving his "12" flag and lighting off fireworks with Cannen.
"He was bawling his eyes out," Tracey said.
Plans for a family field trip to the victory parade started immediately .
Despite the cold weather and a five-hour trip to Seattle battling packed trains and crowds, Tracey is thankful the family seized that moment together.
"We took an adventure to be a part of history," she said. "My goodness was it worth it."
The morning after the parade, Adam texted his wife expressing gratitude.
"Thank you for making that memory with me yesterday," he wrote. "It's a day I will never forget."
Tracey said it's a day the entire family will never forget.
For most of Feb. 7, the day was routine for the Norton family.
Tracey and Adam headed to their jobs; Adam was a sheetmetal worker and Tracey works for cable and Internet provider Rainier Connect in Eatonville.
Tracey said the couple texted throughout the day and Adam visited her at work as he frequently did. She saw him again that afternoon at home before she took Hunter to an appointment in Puyallup.
A text to Adam around 5:45 went unanswered. A call to his cellphone reached Baley, who eventually found his dad unconscious upstairs.
As Tracey raced home, a 911 dispatcher remotely helped Baley perform CPR on his dad until the paramedics arrived shortly after.
"I had a million thoughts," Baley said. "I didn't realize what was happening until after it happened."
Tracey showed up minutes before medics declared Adam dead, despite about 25 minutes spent trying to revive him. He had suffered cardiac arrest.
Adam was born with a heart defect that led to six heart surgeries throughout his childhood. His aortic valve was surgically replaced as a teen.
A routine trip to the cardiologist about five months ago showed he was healthy as anyone, his wife said.
His life ended quickly and without warning, something his family considers bittersweet.
"It sucks that we couldn't say goodbye," Tracey said, adding that they were all glad he didn't suffer.
She said those final moments reflected her husband's personality, as someone who loved being the center of attention.
"It was very Adam," Tracey said.
Adam Norton's funeral was heavy on the blue and green and light on "gloom and doom," Tracey said.
"I wanted it to be a party," she said. "I wanted it to be what Adam was."
It was a party fit for a superfan.
More than 300 people showed up in Seahawks gear to speak — and scream — about a man who was involved in his community.
Adam coached youth soccer, baseball and football and organized a Relay For Life team with his wife. He was known for helping friends fix things around their houses.
"Adam would help anyone at any time whether he knew them or not," Tracey said. "He loved our community and being involved with everything."
During the memorial service, Tracey's brother Matt Lewis shared memories and old posts from Adam's Facebook. Each one ended with "GO HAWKS!" and the audience chanted the words together as Lewis rattled them off. Many others spoke, and Hunter put his game-day guitar practice to use by playing the song "Faithfully" by Journey.
A "tailgate" reception followed, with Seahawks flags, balloons and foods fit for a pre-game party.
Today, the family faces many unknowns. Their income has drastically dropped, and because of his pre-existing condition Adam didn't have life insurance.
Friends and community members have brought dinner every night since Adam's death.
Hunter recently fired up the grill for the first time, and family friends have taken the boys on outings they used to do with their dad, such as hiking. Tracey said everyone is trying hard to "fill some pretty big shoes they know can never be filled."
This summer, Baley said he's headed to a passing academy run by Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson to cash in on his "big Christmas present."
His dad encouraged him to start playing football, and Baley grew to love it after a reluctant start.
As for continuing Adam's legacy as Seahawks superfan, Tracey plans to display all his memorabilia in the front room. The couple had talked about doing that for years.
Although he died young, Tracey said there's no doubt her husband died happy.
"We had a lot more life to live together," she said. "But his dream came true."

You — whoever you are. You came and took two plants from my patio at Club Estate Apartments, one yellow rose and one lavender mum.
The yellow rose plant was given to me from my great granddaughter on Mother's Day many years ago and is very special to me.
My prayer and wish is you know where you got it and that you'll have the heart to return it, no questions asked. I would be happy to buy a yellow rose for you if you do.

The Garowe II Conference is one of the many steps the TFG has taken in order to create a functioning federal government in Somalia since the end of the Muhammad Siad Barre [Britannica profile] dictatorship in 1991. The plan for the new government developed at the conference is designed to replace the TFG [BBC report] and put in place a stable, more permanent government. There is skepticism among many observers as to whether this agreement will be implemented because Somalia has been involved in multiple agreements throughout the past few years. Details in the plan that need further development are expected to be worked out at the Somali conference in London, set to begin Thursday. Due to the lack of organized government in Somalia, maritime piracy has recently been a major issue. In November, France began the trial of six Somali pirates [JURIST report] on charges of hijacking, kidnapping and armed robbery in connection with a 2008 attack on a yacht. In October, two Somali pirates were sentenced to life in prison [JURIST report] by a judge in the US District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia.
In 2008, Latvian voters rejected a referendum [JURIST report] to amend the country's constitution that would have given voters the power to dissolve the country's parliament, even though some voters remained discontented with the government and say that the Latvian MPs do not act in accordance with voter's wishes. Latvia was formally part of the Soviet Union, but joined NATO in April 2004. A month later the country officially entered the EU. The Latvian parliament has since adopted [JURIST report] the new EU reform treaty [JURIST news archive], properly known as the Treaty of Lisbon [text, PDF; official website].
Lawyers for Guantanamo detainees have previously raised concerns with practices used at the prison. Earlier this month, James Connell, defense lawyer for suspected 9/11 conspirator Ali Abdul Aziz Ali, filed suit in the US District Court for the District of Columbia [official website] challenging the order [JURIST report] for military officials to read all legal correspondence between the lawyers of the suspected 9/11 conspirators and their clients. Last month, Chief Defense Counsel for Guantanamo Bay war crimes tribunals, Colonel JP Colwel, ordered [JURIST report] attorneys under his command not to comply with the policy. Woods issued the rules [JURIST report] in December. Lawyers for the prisoners responded with a written memo stating that they did not agree to the rule because it violates attorney-client privilege and would erode their clients' right to counsel that is afforded by the US Constitution [text].
Israel has recently faced criticism for the country's policy toward Palestinians. Earlier this month, Human Rights Watch (HRW) [advocacy website] urged Israel [JURIST report] to change its policies that forbid Palestinians from traveling through and living in Gaza and the West Bank. The Israeli Supreme Court upheld [JURIST report] a law that prevents Palestinians who marry Israelis from obtaining Israeli citizenship. With its ruling the court again rejected the petition filed by Adalah [advocacy website], a civil rights group in Israel, arguing that the law is unconstitutional.
Myanmar's nominally civilian government has implemented numerous political reforms since winning the first elections held in 20 years in March 2011. Last month, in addition to releasing political prisoners, Myanmar President Thein Sein [BBC backgrounder] signed a clemency order that shortened sentences [JURIST report] for many prisoners on humanitarian grounds. In December, Sein gave his official approval to a bill allowing the country's citizens to conduct peaceful protests [JURIST report], if the protests are approved in advance. The Myanmar government also announced in December that the political party of opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi [JURIST news archive] would be allowed to register for the next elections, a move that would allow Suu Kyi to run for parliament after being detained under house arrest [JURIST reports] for nearly eight years. UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon [official profile] has praised [JURIST report] the country's strive toward democracy.
Earlier this month the Swedish Supreme Court announced that it will not hear an appeal [JURIST report] of the copyright convictions of Fredrik Neji, Peter Sunde and Carl Lundstroem for their involvement in running The Pirate Bay. After reviewing the case, the court found there were no special circumstances warranting review. The court could also have decided to hear the case if it determined a review by Sweden's highest court would be important for the country's law enforcement, but it declined to hear the appeal on those ground as well. The court's decision not to hear the appeal immediately prompted response from critics. The founder of the Pirate Party [party website in Swedish], a political party in Sweden, expressed concern [press release in Swedish] over the court's decision not to hear the case calling it a "fundamentally important" case that, if decided by the high court, would help to sort out future cases.

My, my, my, aren't the Tea Party and the 40 or 50 plutocrats who run that outfit just too full of themselves these days.
I would be far more impressed by their fatalistic stand against government and health care reform if they would present plans of their own outlining the government they want for America and explaining their version of what health care reform should look like. Our pre-Obama plan is many times more expensive than any other health program in the world. It victimizes doctors, hospitals, patients, and taxpayers alike; and it is far down the list when it comes to results. Costly as it is, we are far from being the healthiest nation in the world.
As a starting point, I even went so far as to offer a health care reform proposal that removed the things right wing extremists seem to object to in the Affordable Care Act and included the essentials that most people seem to want in a new health care system. That attracted all the enthusiasm of a dead rat on a birthday cake. Even the Libertarians who are stuck in their "perfect world of impossible dreams" are mute when it comes to any sort of practical plan for cutting costs and making improvements.
How can anybody be expected to negotiate with fanatics whose only apparent interest is in fighting for power to overthrow democracy? They seem to have nothing to offer other than the mysterious "smaller government and lower taxes" mantra (lower taxes for plutocrats and a government too weak to challenge them). They campaign on demands for less regulation and greater freedom, but once elected where are the lists of regulations they propose to eliminate? Oh, I forgot. They do oppose the regulation of the international banks that caused the present economic melt-down and world financial crisis. It figures.

Jesse, I'm so sorry you had to deal with that level of insensitivity. I hope it gets better. I don't know if you mentioned this already, but how did you wind up in a hospital so far from home? Do they provide a service your local one doesn't? Are you there for a doctor that has privileges? I hope you can work out your wifi issues and can connect to the internet. We "mother hens" () like to know how you are doing and want to send our love and support.
Prayers and thoughts for you, Jesse.
I hope today is a better day.
Jesse, please contact the hospital/nursing administration about the person who treated you inappropriately -- causing you even more pain.
"Caregivers" who behave that way have no place in the profession and need to be removed before they hurt someone else.
Amen, to this!We "mother hens" () like to know how you are doing and want to send our love and support.
{{{{Jesse}}}} I'm sorry you had such crappy care yesterday. I hope today is better and that when you get home it will be even better still!

Does anyone live near enough to Calgary to go stomp on that nurse's toes?? GRRRRRRR!!!!
I'm very sorry that your day & night were so awful Jesse, and hope that today will bring you some relief and rest!
I rang my call bell so many times just asking for ANYBODY to help me... but they just kept saying they were short staffed etc. It must have been 3 hours before anyone came. And then they left me without saying anything for another hour. Apparently there were only 2 of them on the ENTIRE unit last night? I can't really believe that... for like 50 patients or something? There's no way.
But yeah this is the nearest city that offers my radiation treatments, that's why I'm so far away.
If I could just walk up to the desk and ask to talk to people etc I would... but it makes everything so much more difficult when I'm bed ridden I feel like I have no way to do any of those things... or the energy haha.
When you talk to the administrators, be sure to tell them that your calls for help were ignored.
"Short-staffing" is no excuse for that.
(((Jesse))) I am so sorry you are suffering so much because of an insufficiently staffed hospital, and an uncaring nurse. It's insane to leave a bed ridden cancer patient without a quick response. I hope things improve for you.
I think you wrote in one of your earlier posts that you were almost done with the radiation treatments (I heard they are very difficult). I hope it means you never have to go back to that hospital again.
I am wondering -how often do you get to see the doctors? Next time you see them, please let them know what your have had to endure. I am so sorry to hear you are suffering and not receiving the care you need. Things are bound to improve soon.
Is Friday your day to move closer to home? I really hope so. In the meantime please try to get as much rest as you can. I hope you can get some undisturbed sleep also. We are all thinking of you and sending you good vibes.
Jesse, again, I am so sorry for your poor treatment. It is inexcusable on the part of the nurses and on the part of the hospital to put the nurses in a situation where someone as ill as you are would be ignored. You do need to tell your case worker. Hopefully, today will go better and tomorrow you are out of there. More XOXOs.
Jesse, Perhaps you can try to talk to someone during the day about the miserable night shift so there is not a repeat of last night? Thank heavens you are leaving this badly managed hospital! I hope you finally managed to get some decent sleep. Do you or will you have plenty of music?
May your last afternoon and evening in Heartbreak Hospital go swiftly and peacefully.
I just wanted to mention that it is not unusual for care to be a little less attentive in big city hospitals. When my Mom had her aortic stent put in, she was in a huge city hospital. She got good care, but not what she would have gotten in a smaller less factory like hospital. We had no choice but to take her there, however, as they were the only hospital where thoracic stents were done through the groin.
Not saying that the nurses are not generally as caring and competent in city hospitals, but insufficient staffing can be a problem.
miserable f*cking nurses
Jesse, will your address change when you move?
Boi Bumba!!!
Jesse, I wish I lived close enough to go grab a nurse or two and frog march them in to help you. It's really sad that you can't get relief when you need it. I hope today is a good day for you and tomorrow an even better one. A big hug to you.
When I'm old, I don't want them to say of me, "She's so charming." I want them to say, "Be careful, I think she's armed."
Fact of Life: After Monday and Tuesday even the calendar says W T F

I see the doctors pretty much everyday. I didn't really say anything to them about it though. Unfortunately I got stuck with that same horrible nurse as I had last night again right now... hopefully tonight goes better. I am going to ask her why she never returned in one minute like she promised last night.. and just left me stranded.
Ambulance is apparently booked at 10am to transfer me tomorrow! And yes the address will be the same.. I'll actually be in my home town. The only thing that sucks is I'll probably have way less visitors there.. most of my friends are actually here in Calgary haha. But family will be there which will be easier/nicer for them!

A 37-year-old rural Kearney man faces a misdemeanor charge for having a loaded handgun in his carry-on luggage as he was headed for a flight at Kearney Regional Airport.
Randy Black is charged with violating his permit to carry a concealed weapon. He's pleaded not guilty and his trial is scheduled for Jan. 31.
Authorities say Black's weapon was detected by a security X-ray machine at the airport on the morning of Sept. 25.
The Transportation Security Administration says firearms must be placed in locked, hard-sided containers in checked baggage and be unloaded. The owners also must declare the presence of the weapons to the airlines.
Black wasn't considered a terror threat. His case wasn't forwarded to federal prosecutors.

I read in the Index on Sunday that we are really going to have ghost tours each Saturday in downtown Mineral Wells and that some of the local shopkeepers are going to encourage this endeavor, keeping their stores open later and selling ghost-related items.
Since the Baker has sent out a siren call to ghost hunters and seekers of the paranormal all across the state, I think this is a very refreshing idea for bringing tourists to Mineral Wells. Places like Charleston, S.C., Huntsville, Ala., and Wilmington, N.C., have similar tours. They introduce a sort of exciting element, and they seem to bring in tourists. So, all I can say is, "Way to go!"
I sincerely hope it is tremendously successful and that it encourages the businesses in our downtown area to spruce up and look nice, which, in my humble opinion, will also bring more people to our town, thus generating revenue and making all of us feel proud about the place in which we live.

One amazing Buster comeback
One amazing Buster comeback
One amazing Buster comeback
By ADAM HOLT
Entering Sunday's 31-29 Mississippi Bowl win over Copiah-Lincoln, the Garden City Community College football team had attempted just six field goals all season. Carlos Chavez was 2-of-3, and Tyler Peterson 1-of-3.
So of course, their bowl game would end on a 32-yarder from Peterson as time expired.
The freshman came to Garden City from Stockton, but had moved there recently from Fort Worth, Texas. And after waiting all season for that chance that every kicker hopes for, he got it.
"Different from anything," Peterson said of the feeling after making the field goal. "I'll never forget it."
Originally, it was going to be a 27-yard attempt. Down 29-28 after a 33-yard touchdown pass from Co-Lin's Chandler Rogers to Christian Keene, the Busters put their offense out on the field with 36 seconds to play. A 59-yard pass from Nick Marshall was tipped and landed in Rod Coleman's lap to put GCCC at the CLCC 22-yard line. The Busters ran another play, a short pass from Marshall to Jamal Tyler, who went down at the 10. Garden City called a timeout with 4 seconds left.
Co-Lin called a timeout to ice the kicker, and then on the attempt, the Busters jumped and were called for a false start, backing the ball up five yards.
"After the false start, I told him, 'You know what, we got this, we've done this a million times in practice. Regular kick. Forget this situation; let's do this,'" said Raul Silva, the holder.
The kick was good, and Peterson started sprinting in the opposite direction in celebration. His teammates followed.
"Run," Peterson said of what he was thinking. "Run, because I knew they were coming."
The Busters said they had confidence in Peterson making the kick. That still didn't help the nerves, though.
"I was in like, total shock," defensive end Kitray Solomon said. "I believed in him, but at the same time, it's a lot of pressure on the kicker when he's got the game-winning situation in his hands. I believed in him because he's my teammate, but that's still a lot of pressure on him."
And some couldn't even bear to watch.
"To be honest, I wasn't even looking," Marshall said. "I knew he made it when everyone was running onto the field."
Some comeback
The field goal was just one part of GCCC's comeback. The other was the remarkable and highly unlikely catch that Coleman made to get the Busters in field goal range.
"When I saw it was tipped, I thought it was incomplete," Marshall said. "Then I seen the ball again, and then it had fell in Rod's stomach. I saw the referee, he said it was a catch, and that was a good feeling."
Silva was on the field for both the catch and to hold the ball for Peterson's field goal. And while head coach Jeff Tatum and many of the players were confident in Garden City's chances after falling behind with 41 seconds left, Silva said there was still some worry.
"There was no vibe, but dead," he said. "It was please, let something happen. Please, let something good happen. And the most amazing catch that I've ever witnessed in person happened. So that was awesome."
It looked like just another in a series of surprising comebacks for Co-Lin, which got a kick return for a touchdown with 9 seconds left in a win over East Mississippi in the MACJC semifinals, and trailed by four late midway through the fourth quarter of a title-clinching win over Mississippi Gulf Coast.
"I panicked a little bit, I'm not gonna lie about that," Tatum said after Garden City went down 29-28 with 41 seconds to play. "Because that's the way they've won their last two games, that's the reason they're here, is they found a way to win with less than a minute to go."
Consider, too, that Marshall had been taken out of the game earlier in the fourth quarter. On a fourth-down conversion attempt, Marshall scrambled before being tackled by Jerrell Jordan and another sack by Wolf. Marshall's helmet was ripped off in the process, but no penalty was called. The sophomore was light-headed afterward, and ended up being replaced by backup Jake Curran on the Busters' next possession.
But with the game on the line and 36 seconds to play, Tatum asked his quarterback to make two more throws, which he did.
"I didn't want to take myself out of the gamebecause I knew the team needed me," Marshall said.
And after facing adversity all game, including an interception return for a touchdown being called back for unsportsmanlike conduct, the Busters got one of the finest finishes to a game that Tatum has been a part of.
"I can honestly say it's the greatest win I've ever been associated with," he said. "For a lot of reasons. No. 1 is where we started and where we finished over a two-year period. It's a great win. Also, here's a team that wasn't expected to win that fought all the way through and won — and came from behind, when it looked like there was no chance of winning the game, and I guarantee you people in the stands were saying, 'hey, at least they had a great year.' Our kids never heard that; they said 'hey, we're gonna go win this football game.'"
"I can't describe how proud I am for them. It's a great win for me, and I know it's the greatest win in their life, because it's the greatest win in my life, and I've been in a lot more football games."

HOUSTON—A mural in midtown Houston depicting President Obama has once again been defaced by vandals.
The painting on the side of a building across the street from The Breakfast Klub, a popular midtown restaurant, was splattered with black paint sometime overnight Monday. The artist who created the mural says it's the fourth time vandals have struck it since 2008.
"Same story different day," said Marcus Jones, the owner of the building. "I think that there are some sad and sick people out there."
The painting was a recreation of a photograph showing President Obama smiling and pointing at a camera. Houston artist Reginald Adams created it last October after his last mural was splashed with blood red paint. Surveillance video of that incident showed two men wearing masks and driving a pick-up truck, but the vandals were never caught.
Jones planned to review his surveillance system with police to determine whether his cameras had captured images of the latest crime.
"We've got to ask ourselves not what can the police do to prevent it, or what the security cameras do to prevent it, or what can Marcus do to prevent it," he said. "We've got to ask ourselves, how do we heal our nation to a point where we don't want to do these types of things to someone's personal property."
The mural has become something of a landmark in midtown Houston, visible to drivers taking the busy Travis exit from the Southwest Freeway. But it has also become emblematic of the political passions surrounding the election of the nation's first black president.
"Even though we come a long way in this country, we still have a little way to go," said Reggie Jones, a customer wearing an Obama T-shirt who was standing in line at the restaurant.
Adams plans to paint an entirely new mural on the wall sometime in the next few days.

Less than a year after earning his master's degree in military history, Westborough's Bill Carr taught it here Saturday.
The World War II veteran discussed his new book, "A Pact With the Devil: World War I Air Combat," at the Tatnuck Bookseller.
"With the 100th anniversary of WWI coming up in 2014, this book captures the drama and heroism of the period," the event flyer notes.
"This book describes the progress of aerial combat from 1914-1918. It contains biographies of famous pilots and airplanes of WWI. It also shows how the aviation industry grew and evolved. Finally, the author shows his personal connection through his father, who was a pilot in the 1930's."
Carr graduated from Worcester State University last year. The United States Marine and Marine Corps reservist served as grand marshal of Westborough's 2012 Veterans Day observance.

9 Sneaky Places Skin Cancer Hides
If your derm isn't checking these spots, you need a new doctor
The doctor gave me the standard once-over of my arms and legs, then announced everything looked okay. Um, and what about the rest of my body? When I asked about the mole on my rear, the doctor was visibly uncomfortable. "How do you want to do this?" he asked. I should've walked out right then, but after a very uncomfortable exam -- after which he just passed me off to my gynecologist -- I ditched the doctor and found someone a little more professional to remove the mole.
I'm happy to report the mole was benign, but it got me thinking. What other awkward, weird or overlooked places can skin cancer hide out?
So I spoke with Dr. Ariel Ostad, a top New York City dermatologist in micrographic surgery for skin cancer removal. His most important advice? "If your dermatologist doesn't check these areas, speak up or consider seeing someone else."

He was born on June 3, 1955, in Covington, Virginia, where he attended public schools. His parents, the late Homer F. and Faye Arritt Landis, retired from their respective jobs in the late 1980's and relocated to the Moncks Corner area to provide free babysitting for the grandchildren.
Judge Landis graduated in 1977 from Erskine College where he was involved in a number of student organizations and enjoyed an active social life. He acted in several musical and drama productions and hosted a late night radio show for the campus station, WARP. In his spare time he majored in and received his BA in History. Prior to taking the bench he served on the Erskine Board of Counselors.
In 1980, Landis graduated from the University of South Carolina School of Law and was admitted to the SC Bar. He started as an Assistant Public Defender for Berkeley County and in 1984 joined John B. Williams in the formation of Williams and Landis. During this partnership, he began primarily practicing family and domestic law. In 1989, he and now Circuit Judge, R. Markley Dennis, Jr., formed Dennis, Dennis, and Landis.
The Moncks Corner Town Council appointed Landis as Municipal Judge in 1987 and he served in that capacity for eleven years. He was elected to the Family Court Bench by the South Carolina General Assembly in May 1998.
He has served the SC Conference of Family Court Judges as Secretary/Treasurer, 2009-2010, Vice President, 2010-2011, and President, 2011-2012. As an officer of the SCCFCJ, he has served on the Chief Justice's Family Court Judges Advisory Committee.
Judge Landis has coached the Berkeley High School Mock Trial team for several years, helping them to win the State Championship in 1989, 1991, 1993, 2000, 2002, 2005, 2006, and 2008. In 2000, the Berkeley team placed 10th in the nation at the National Mock Trial Championship. In 2006, the team placed 7th in the nation. Having retired from coaching, he annually presides over the State Middle School Mock Trial Championship, and presides on all levels of the SC High School Mock Trial Competition. He has presided over collegiate mock trial competitions and law school moot court competitions. Jack has the honor of being a presiding judge at the National Mock Trial Competition for two years.
Jack has served the SC Bar Association on the Law Related Education Committee and both the Middle School and High School Mock Trial Sub-Committees.
For several years he coached youth soccer for the Moncks Corner Recreation Department and was a member of the Board of Directors of the Berkeley County Historical Society Museum.
In 2003 he received the "Law Related Education Lawyer of the Year" award from the South Carolina Bar Association. Judge Landis is a member of the NCJFCJ and has attended classes at the National Judicial College in Reno, NV, in 2005 and 2006.
In his free time, Judge Landis likes to maintain his MGB. He also is an avid reader, likes to ski, cook, play racquetball, float around in the pool, and considers himself a handyman.

A friend has set up an account at a Duluth bank to benefit former Gwinnett County commissioner Shirley Lasseter, who pleaded guilty Thursday to accepting bribes in federal court.
Jerry Robb, a friend of Lasseter, posted the notice of the benefit account on Facebook:
"An account at the has been set up to help Shirley. For anyone interested in donating money..Checks should be made out to Shirley's Fund, account #0040946. Thanks so much!!"
The bank is located on Buford Highway.
Lasseter apparently was in serious financial straits before her guilty plea. Her Duluth home was foreclosed on in 2009. Also, Robb was quoted in a recent media article as saying that Lasseter said her car ran out of gas because the gas gauge was not working properly and that she could not afford repairs.
In addition to facing up to 10 years in prison for her bribery conviction, Lasseter faces a fine of up to $250,000.
State campaign disclosure records list her current address as Woodiron Drive in Duluth.
Lasseter has not commented publicly or online since the news broke Thursday about her guilty plea and resignation from the Gwinnett Commission; Suwanee and Duluth were in her district.
Gwinnett officials still have not announced whether they will appoint someone to fill out her term, which expires Dec. 31.
Lasseter's son John Fanning also pleaded guilty to the same bribery scheme, in which an undercover FBI officer posed as a South Florida real estate developer. Lasseter accepted bribes totaling $36,500 in 2011, federal authorities said.
Other support for Lasseter, former long-time mayor of Duluth, also is evident on her Facebook page.
"My thoughts and prayers are with you and the family. Even the best of us make mistakes. God will get you through this and you will be a better person (if that is possible) for it. You have done so many wonderful things for Duluth and Gwinnett County," posted Leigh Hudgins Landon.

Marvin Hamlisch died two week ago at 68.
One of the most prolific composers of our time, Hamlisch was the recipient of three Academy Awards, four Grammys, four Emmys, two Golden Globes and one Tony Award.
He provided music for numerous shows and movies including "The Goodbye Girl," "Ordinary People," Woody Allen's "Bananas" and a new musical "The Nutty Professor" based on a Jerry Lewis film which recently opened in Nashville.
One of Hamlisch's most popular shows, "A Chorus Line." can be seen on the Straw Hat Theatre stage today and Saturday at 8 p.m.
"A Chorus Line" celebrates song and dance and the performers who perform them as the show opens on an empty stage where the final, grueling audition for a new Broadway show is about to begin. Through it all you'll hear their individual stories of hope and sacrifice as each one yearns for a chance to do what he knows he was destined to do — dance.
The show was conceived and originally directed and choreographed by Michael Bennett with book by James Kirkwood & Nicholas Dante with music by Marvin Hamlisch and lyrics by Edward Kleban. The production is directed by Stephen Rhodes of Conneaut.
A live orchestra directed by Debra Fleming of Ashtabula plays the exhilarating musical score that includes popular numbers such as "I Can Do That," "At the Ballet," "One (Singular Sensation)" and the perennial favorite "What I Did for Love."
Box office ticket prices are $14 for adults and $12 for seniors and students. Advance-sale, pre-paid tickets will receive a $2 discount per ticket. Tickets can be purchased at the box office or by phone at 964-3396.
This production is not recommended for children and contains material that may offend some people.

Précis: Screening does not reduce long-term lung cancer mortality
IntroductionAt present, there is widespread acceptance that screening for the early detection of lung cancer is not indicated. The American Cancer Society and the National Cancer Institute (NCI) recommend against efforts for early detection of lung cancer by mass screening (Ann Intern Med 1989 Aug 1;111(3):232-7). An early report of the Mayo Lung Project observed no reduction in lung cancer mortality with an intense screening regimen consisting of chest x-ray and sputum cytology. In this report, the researchers updated their results with extended follow-up and more participants.
MethodA total of 9211 male smokers were randomly assigned to either undergo a chest x-ray and sputum cytology every 4 months for 6 years (screening group) or were advised to have the same tests annually (usual care group).
DiscussionAfter an extended follow-up, the researchers of the Mayo Lung Project concluded that intense screening of smokers by chest x-ray and sputum cytology did not reduce the lung cancer mortality rate, but did appear to increase survival length. This study suggests that such screening may be identifying lung cancers earlier, but with limited clinical relevance.
