Moving Forward with Oral Insulin -- the Holy Grail of Diabetes TherapyPosted: Monday, November 23, 2009
Danish drugmaker Novo, the world's biggest insulin maker, stated that it is making progress in developing a tablet form of the drug -- a holy grail of diabetes therapy.
Patients with diabetes who need insulin, a naturally occurring protein that controls blood sugar, must currently inject themselves several times a day. Scientists have tried for years to come up with alternative way of delivering the drug.
Some have tried inhaled insulin, but the dramatic failure of Exubera, an inhaled insulin product made by Pfizer Inc., discouraged the biggest players -- including Novo Nordisk -- from further involvement in the field.
Lars Sorensen, Novo's chief executive, said development of an oral insulin would be "a potential game-changer" in the diabetes field and said the company could bring a product to the market within six years.
While inhaled insulin has been dogged by concerns it could cause lung damage, the challenge for scientists trying to develop insulin tablets is that insulin degrades quickly in the stomach, meaning only a very small amount reaches the bloodstream. Novo may have found a way around the problem.
"We have seen some interesting leads that makes us believe it might be feasible," Sorensen said. "We have the first product candidates going into human clinical trials as we speak, but it is a very complex issue because proteins need to be changed to be more acid stable."
The development of an oral insulin is part of a broader push by Novo Nordisk to develop next-generation diabetes treatments. The company is also working to develop the first tablet form of its protein-based injectable diabetes drug Victoza, which it believes will be key to keeping it ahead in an increasingly competitive market.
Insulin injections have been used since the early 1920's and have gone through several advances. By reducing the concentration of glucose in the blood, insulin can prevent or reduce the long-term complications of diabetes, including damage to the blood vessels, eyes, kidneys and nerves.
An oral insulin would represent the fifth-generation insulin, and be a major technological breakthrough if successful.

Pros – People centric firm that stresses the importance of developing their employees. They have a great coaching environment. Additionally the training both on the job and at the various class-type sessions they offer are very relevant and beneficial.

Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend – I'm optimistic about the outlook for this company

97 thoughts on "The Worst Celebrity Baby Names"
PILOT INSPEKTORS MAMA says:
I don't know what the big deal is..I'll take any of those over Bill, Bob or Tom.As far as the kids being teased when they are older, that usually happens to geeky kids, and it's usually their equally geeky parents, that are afraid of them being teased, because they grew up being so uncool themselves.Most celebrities have natural swagger, and I'm sure this will be passed on genetically to their kids..so getting teased at school..blah, whatever, they will be too cool for that.
coolteamblt says:
Ugh. They're all pretty dang bad. However, Tu Morrow is a girl. Tu Simone.
editors says:
Thanks coolteam — fixing it now!
onthegrapvine says:
I heard a rumor that Andre/Eryka's son is named Seven because it can never be divided by two.
lalamama says:
Seven can be divided by two – it is 3.5. Apparently they don't believe in fractions?
beeker says:
God abhors vacuums and fractions!Apple is a horrible name! I can't warm to it in any way and I don't hate most of the weird names. It just doesn't sound pretty. At least Audio sounds like Mario. Am I weird that I really love Camera? Not that I would name my child that. It just sounds nice when you say it out loud. Zuma is pretty bad too. It sounds like a annoying plastic toy or a bad lifestyle website.
Holly Ann Wood says:
Jeez!! Apple and Moses should not even be on this list based on the insanity of the other names. I feel bad now for thinking bad things of their mommy and daddy. This list makes Demi and Bruce appear normal with the names they picked. The thing is….I have known people with odd names. As an example, I had a friend named "Trophy"…. after a month of saying it, it is like Lisa or something, not a bid deal. However, I do wonder what the maturity level is of these "celebrity" parents? Are they trying to get attention? Like they need any more attention? Is noting in life serious for them? It just shows how "out of touch" with the real world and very immature most of these people are!!
AnoyingAnon says:
The Korn frontman is Jonathan Davis and his wife is Deven. You spelled Pirate correctly however.
Plain Jane says:
Blue Angel is what we used to call it as kids when you lit your fart with a lighter.
Roper says:
I know I'm waaay in the minority here, but I actually like the name Apple — the sound of it, and the connotation. Still, it's one of those names that you worry will shape the kid's destiny. The honorable Judge Apple Martin? Senator Apple Martin? I guess it's better than most of the other ones on the list.As for Moses: love it. Mose Martin is a kickass name.
NeoPrincess says:
Don't forget Jonathan Davis' other son Zeppelin.
Tess and Finns mom says:
I like the name Apple too. As for Zuma, my grandmother was named Zuma by her German immigrant parents in the 1920s. However they changed her name to Celeste in the first few years of her life.
Apple Zuma says:
This about sums it up for me… http://www.youjustmademylist.com/?p=511
Alice says:
Zuman is the name of the new President of South Africa. Maybe that is who they named him or her, whatever it is, after. I like Nestea though. Maybe htey got a kickback for product placement on that one. Peanut is the dumbest name ever. Those morons think they are the ONLY people in the world who called their fetus "peanut"? Every freaking body calls their fetus peanut. Camaro is a nice name. Nice car too.
costanza says:
haven't you seen seinfeld? seven was mickey mantle's number.
Ehnonymous Lee says:
Funny list… although the comment about Calico… I think it's distasteful to talk about your cat DYING.. these are real people here and while talking about their name is like slowing down to look at a car accident any talk of dying is not classy…
ok with apple says:
I'm guilty of liking the name Apple too. And she's got a bunch of normal middle names so she can go by A. Blythe Martin if she wants. The Naked Chef dude named his kids Poppy and Daisy, I think, plus odd middle names. Why doesn't he ever get mentioned in these lists. And, yes, Poppy and Daisy are just flowers, but Apple? That's a blossom and a fruit, but kind of a biggie one — old testament and all.Oh, and Bindi Sue, the dead croc guy's daughter? That's on a par with Apple.In terms of names of senators and judges, let us not forget names like Thurogood (sp), Lindsay (Graham). Also, I saw a report recently on a Colorado legislator whose name is Bunny or Buffy or something. So, you know, names aren't actually a deal-breaker.
Kelmendi says:
People don't fuss over Poppy and Daisy because they are both actual names. Poppy is unusual, but Daisy is actually pretty common in the UK. And I, for one, wouldn't have a problem with Apple Martin as a name if it didn't sound so much like Apple Martini. Because nothing is classier than naming your kid after a trendy mixed drink.
nonny mouse says:
Inspektor is a very old and respected Hungarian Jewish name. maybe Penn Jillette or the child's mother have a Hungarian Jewish grandfather or great-grandfather?Pilot, on the other hand….
timmit says:
The list looses all credibility in my view for not including Frank Zappa's kids, Moon Unit, Dweezil, Ahmet Emuukha Rodan and Diva Thin Muffin Pigeen. Ahmet is fine, but the rest…
sfwork says:
I seriously don't understand this compulsion to diss' celebrity's baby names. Especially Apple. What is the big freakin' deal that she named her kid after a fruit? People love names like Rain and Leaf and River and Cherry… and Apple. Sounds fine to me.
Joy Filled Girl says:
The American actress Gretchen Mol has a son named Ptolemy. This name just smacks of intellectual pretense.Sometimes legit names suck, too. Will Smith and Jada Pinkett named their children Willow and Jaden in honour of themselves. Now that is ego.
votetheday says:
Naming always was a difficult task, because parents understand, that the name will follow their offspring all the life. Names for babies have their fashions too. There were waves of Slavic and Hispanic names, and now aristocratic, or royal names are the newest craze of newborn babies' parents.What is your opinion on this trend in children's names? Is it worth to pick aristocratic name for your little stroller king or queen; or is it better to go simple, and, let's say, start your own family tradition by naming your little wonder by one of the grandparents? – http://www.votetheday.com/society-18/aristocratic-names-300/
Leeandra says:
On Kal-El: I can say with certainty that Nicolas Cage's kid has no superpowers or x-ray vision, because he wasn't looking where he was going and crashed headlong into me once. Cage owns a house in New Orleans a few blocks from where I live and work. I was walking down the street and this little tornado came out of nowhere yelling DADDYDADDYDADDYDADDY and crashed right into my legs and fell over (luckily, he wasn't hurt). I looked up, and the kid's daddy was Nicolas Cage. On Apple: A friend's three-year-old son has an imaginary life which mainly consists of having a career as a race-car driver and having a daughter named "Grape," and even he thought that "the lady who named her baby Apple was just being silly."On Kyd: Mr. Duchovny, didn't your grade school teachers tell you that only goats have kids? And didn't you learn how to spell somewhere along the line?
ladykatie57 says:
I'm surprised you didn't cite Bruce Willis and Demi Moore for their daughters' names. When I first heard the name "Apple" I immediately thought of a gentleman from our town whose real name was Orange. I kid you not. He's been dead for years, but he would probably be over 100 by now. I couldn't help but think how cute it would be if Apple ever had a little brother and they named him Orange. (Just joking), but point being, strange names have been around for years.
IgnatiusReilly says:
This article is useless. The subject has been done to death. Please stop.
Olden Atwoody says:
I guess they forgot about Dweezel and Moon Unit Zappa, the kids that started it all.
wawa says:
Hey! How did one of the originals get left out: Moon Unit Zappa. And while we're mooning, Soleil Moon Frye wasn't bad either.
The Sewist says:
Makes me suspect their parenting skills. Anyone who would do that to a kid makes me wonder. What did that poor kid ever do to you. And it is not just celebs who stick stupid monikers on their kids.
mike says:
Kyd might refer to the English renaissance Dramatist Thomas Kyd, author of The Spanish Tragedy. He was an influence to Marlowe, Jonson, and Shakespeare.
Cinderella says:
Wha? You left Frank Zappa's kids off the list of AWFUL names? No DWEEZEL? No MOON UNIT?
Sparkina says:
And for crying in manhattan, what about Zowie Bowie?
kido dildo says:
this is hilarious….they try to gv their children 'unique' name but this is not unique… it's … funny? wht about 'kiddo dildo'???
Regy says:
wow nice collection in different name..lol..waheheh..so which name is cool or not or which name do you prefer for your future child?
Phobia of Public Speaking
Larriann Curtis says:
Horrible names have been around for years. My great-great-(great?)-aunt Celestial Faye, for example (I could go on). We only notice these because the parents are "celebrities".
me says:
for the record, Zowie Bowie is, actually, Duncan Bowie.
I'll take Pilot or Pirate any day over another -aden/aiden/ayden name.
and why pick on the Smiths for naming their kids after themselves? have you not heard of juniors? at least they gave their kids their OWN names, rather than just passing along the exact same moniker, and a title to boot.
Observer says:
These celebrities who give there kids weird names are self centered idiots who are more interested in getting attention than thinking of how this effects their own children.

Sarah the boringly named says:
I actually think Apple is a very cute name ?
and it took me a while to figure out why "Harley Quinn" was so bad. It's still a normal name and people who aren't familiar with the comic might never even get the story behind it.
She can just go as Harley or Quinn, both very nice names.
Zuma Nesta Rock, now that's a bad name. Whatever were they thinking.
Anonymous says:
I liked Zuma and Apple….. but maybe I'm weird.
Somebody Else says:
Maybe somebody else has said this, but: Why aren't Moon Unit and Dweezil (Frank Zappa's kids; I don't know the third one) on the list? I'd definitely add them instead of Apple, which I kinda like.
Somebody Else says:
Yes — now I see somebody beat me to the Zappa names! My apologies.

Norwegian says:
In Norway we have laws against odd names. I think that is a good idea to protect the poor kids that are victimized due to their crazy names.
Lola says:
I love the name Prince, it's cute. Prince is Michael's grandfathers name, he died a shortly before Michael's son was born, so Michael nick named Michael Jackson, Jr. "Prince" and named Blanket Prince. Plus he is the King Of Pop, so it goes well.
Rhonda Roberts says:
Regarding the name Seven..I also named my daughter Seven, but I spell it Sevyn.I can't speak for Erykah Badu but I had a VERY special reason for which I gave my child such a name. In most parts of the world, names are given not for trend. Instead it is given as a means of character identity, or a quality you want your child to have. In my case it was a pregnancy in which I was afraid for the health of my baby. I believed she would be perfect and she was. I honored God for hearing my prayers by naming her Sevyn. (God does everything in multiples of 7-it is a holy number for completion and perfection, mentioned throughout the Bible.) It's easy to make fun of the things we don't understand. I would hope a site dedicated to parenting wouldn't stoop as low as a common tabloid. I'll look forward to your next piece on sensitivity toward others or the problems gossip causes.

My kid's name is on there (#14, Calico). We haven't gotten anything but positive feedback. Ironically, our choice of boy's name (Sparrow), despite it being a very popular family name for well over a hundred years, is not on this list and we're still getting comments on how happy everyone is we're having a girl.
my name is underwear wearer says:
wow, these poor children have to live with these names for their entire lives. look people, when deciding on a name for a child, keep in mind that they will have to introduce themselves with this name as adults some day. your horrible attempts to come up with a "unique and cleaver" name just prove your horrible taste and selfishness.

i cant stand apple, its just sounds silly, as do most of the names on the list. seriously, audio science? pilot inspecktor, seriously how out of it were they? XD

Nena Nadine Fisher says:
I can only agree with you half of the time here. The only names I truly find disturbing for celebrity kids are Jada Pinkett Smith and Will Smiths kids Jaden and Willow. If you don't why it's because they named them after themselves but in opposite sex form. That's self centered.
There is nothing wrong with giving your kid a unique name. If you don't like it don't do it. If my mom had her way my name would be Tabitha. I'm thankful for my unique name and personality. Don't be so judgmental.
Nena Nadine Fisher says:
I would also like to note that my two half sisters were named Jessica and Melissa because it was the number one baby name the year they were born. While both of them have never shared any dislike for the names themselves they both have shared dislike for the reasoning.
RoseMarie says:
I agree with most of these but I honestly can't find fault with Harley Quinn Smith. I think that especially with a common last name you can get away with a more whimsical first name. Reignbeau is criminal.
Rachel says:
I actually like the name Moxie(not so much the CrimeFighter part) for a girl, it's cute and different.
As for Harley Quinn, I know a little girl with that name, it's not that uncommon.
Some of the names are silly and off the deep end, but as long as the parents are happy and especially the child is happy, then no harm done. Who cares what critics think?

Wow, are they nuts!Has all that money just went to their heads,I also like unique names,But think of what they will go at school thats right they have nannys,go to rich privite schools, and their parents dont really raise them its the nannys job. when I HAD MY Daughter 30 years ago Iput a lot of thought into her name and time thinking what to name her,then her Father saw in the paper a clip about 100 years ago today there was a ship docked in puget sound in the 18 hundreds named the Andelana. and that was it we named her Andelana Ashley(ashley) after his father. she didnt like it when she was young but now she loves it Her dads mother found her a book called ( Tall ships on puget sound and gave it to her on her 16th birthday I think people should spend a bit more time on their childs name they have to live with it forever. thanks firstname.lastname@example.com

I gotta say, having named my daughter Wren (with nearly all positive feedback – the only person who didnt like it was my mom, and only while we were pregnant. Now she loves it), Apple is NOT the worst celebrity baby name out there.

Ash says:
I love Jonathan Davis' kids names. I think Pirate and Zepplin are cute. He calls Zepplin 'Zeppy' for short.
My name is dumba-- couch--retard--event says:
It does not look smart or clever to name your child a "unique or clever name". Instead, it looks really dumb and like you're trying to hard. What's wrong with a regular name? We don't need to be naming kids after objects, fruits, or other material things. It's ridiculous. All these names just make me realize how dumb celebrities really are. The best names are the names that don't draw attention to themselves. We are not put on this earth to be self-centered, worshiped, humans. We are put on this earth to love each other and not cause attention to ourselves. There are way better names than to resort to butchering the English language and naming your kid after an idea or object. How sad for the kid.

EOPS is a state-funded program established by the California Legislature in 1969 to address the issues of equal access to quality education (SB 164, Alquist). The over-all intention of EOPS is the one of "extending the opportunities for the community college education to all who may profit thereof, regardless of economic, social and educational status." The legislation encourages the state's community colleges to develop programs and services "over, above, and in addition to" regular college programs and services, in order to increase attendance by historically underrepresented students, and enhance their success in college. . .and hopefully beyond. Simply put EOPS assists program participants in reaching their educational goals through academic support and financial assistance.
EOPS at Napa Valley College is a state-funded program that provides support services to eligible students. Whether you are interested in obtaining job skills, an occupational certificate, an associate degree, or transferring to a four-year institution, our knowledgeable and caring staff can provide extra encouragement, support, and guidance to help you realize your goal(s).
An education is priceless. Remember, as Cesar Chavez said, "You can not uneducate a person." Don't just assume you won't qualify, take the next step and apply today!!

Hyde Park
Hyde Park is something of a trek from downtown Chicago, but it's worth the extra effort. The community is rich in academic and cultural life, and it is also considered one of the country's most successfully integrated neighborhoods, which is reflected in everything from the people you'll meet on the street to the diverse cuisine available.
Best known as the home of the University of Chicago, the neighborhood began to see significant growth only in the late 19th century, when the university opened in 1892 and the World's Columbian Exposition attracted an international influx a year later. The exposition spawned the Midway Plaisance and numerous Classical Revival buildings, including the behemoth Museum of Science and Industry. The Midway Plaisance still runs along the southern edge of the University of Chicago's original campus. Sprawling homes were soon erected for school faculty in neighboring Kenwood, and the area began to attract well-to-do types who commissioned famous architects to build them spectacular homes.
A number of architecturally riveting buildings are here, including two by Frank Lloyd Wright, the Robie House and Heller House, as different as night and day. There are also a thriving theater scene and several art and history museums. Most impressive, though, is the diverse population, with a strong sense of community pride and fondness for the neighborhood's pretty tree-lined streets, proximity to the lake, and slightly off-the-beaten-path vibe.

Drug information provided by: Micromedex
Chlorhexidine is used to treat gingivitis. It helps to reduce the inflammation (redness) and swelling of your gums and to reduce gum bleeding.
Gingivitis is caused by the bacteria that grow in the coating (plaque) that forms on your teeth between tooth brushings. Chlorhexidine destroys the bacteria, thereby preventing the gingivitis from occurring. However, chlorhexidine does not prevent plaque and tartar from forming; proper tooth brushing and flossing are still necessary and important.
Chlorhexidine is available only with your dentist's or medical doctor's prescription.
This product is available in the following dosage forms:

When you use fat, try to choose monounsaturated sources such as olive oil. If used in place of other fats, monounsaturated fat can lower your risk of heart disease by reducing your blood cholesterol level.
Add 1 teaspoon of the olive oil to a skillet. Saute asparagus over medium-high heat until lightly browned and tender-crisp. Remove from pan and allow to cool. Cut into 1-inch pieces.
Fill a large pot 3/4 full with water and bring to a boil. Add the pasta and cook until al dente (tender), 10 to 12 minutes, or according to the package directions. Drain the pasta thoroughly.
Put the pasta to a large bowl. Drizzle the remaining 1 teaspoon olive oil over the pasta and toss gently. Add the tomato, garlic, basil, asparagus, and 2 tablespoons of the Parmesan cheese. Toss to mix evenly.
Divide the pasta between individual plates. Top each serving with 1 tablespoon Parmesan cheese and black pepper, as desired. Serve immediately.

Air Lift Suspension Install Scion xB – Part 4 of 4
In part three we installed the rear air springs for the xB, now with both the front and rear suspension installed and complete it was time to explain how the suspension is controlled through Air Lift's AutoPilot Digital Controller. This is the fourth and final installment.
While this was not a simple bolt-on suspension kit, it also doesn't take an ASE mechanic to figure it out either. It does take some basic knowledge of auto mechanics and having experienced resources help. Dave helped tremendously when it came to my questions, with that additional knowledge by my side, it truly aided in the installation.\
The ride comfort eclipsed what was previously installed. It could be attributed to the fact that the spring and strut combo is close to 7 years old, although having a 9-way adjustable dampening sure helped. The Air Lift struts dampen far past expectations. Dips that typically cause a tension and jolt were rather smooth. Less fluid like, but umm more…Tempur Pedic. In short, it was comfortable. There was no more worry of bottoming out, or launching over rain gutters.
Even with the lack of markings on the control unit, programming was fairly simple.
Here is the controller anatomy.
Air Lift Suspension Install Scion xB – Part 3 of 4
In part two we installed the front Air Lift LifeSTYLE struts and part three we will install the rear. Read carefully because there is lack of visual images to guide you.
The rears took a little bit more time. It wasn't exactly a bolt-on kit so pay attention.
Rather than bolt onto the factory perches, Air Lift took another approach. The only reason why I see Air Lift using this method is to keep the air spring linear when it is raised and lower. Resulting in a more even distribution and even wear on the air springs.
Using custom brackets supplied by Air Lift a few modifications had to be taken in before installing the rear air springs.

Air Lift Suspension Install Scion xB – Part 2 of 4
In part one we laid out the framework for the Air Lift Suspension by mounting all the components and ran all the air lines. Part two is installing the front Air Lift LifeSTYLE struts.
Let's begin with the xB on the ground, loosen the front lug nuts. Then lift the vehicle off the ground and support with jack stands. Removed the front wheels. Open the hood, and remove the three top bolts securing the strut.

Every consumer has their own objective when they purchase an accessory for their vehicle. Some people favor the quality of the product or the outcome of the product, whatever the reasons are, a quality installation is also crucial for how a product reacts – which is often overlooked. In this Do-It-Yourself, I am going to share a step by step-point of view process of installing an air suspension in hopes that this can be used as a reference guide to help others trying to tackle this project.

MONTREAL - The 1982 Formula One season was marred by more tragedy and sadness following the death of Gilles Villeneuve.
Montreal race fans experienced another tragedy first hand with the death of Italian rookie Riccardo Paletti at the Canadian Grand Prix five weeks after Villeneuve's fatal crash on May 8 during qualifying for the Belgian Grand Prix.
Paletti died on June 13, the day before his 24th birthday, in only his second start with Osella-Ford in one of the worst start-line crashes in F1 history at the Canadian Grand Prix.
Paletti slammed into the rear of Frenchman Didier Pironi's stalled Ferrari at an estimated 180 km/h seconds after the race went green. Paletti suffered massive internal injuries as well as two broken legs. After finally being removed from his car, the driver was taken by helicopter to Montreal's Royal Victoria Hospital.
Paletti's car burst into flames 30 seconds after the collision, and Pironi jumped from his damaged car and made a desperate attempt to help rescue crews extinguish the blaze, caused by leaking fuel. The fire did not reach the unconscious Paletti.
At the hospital, doctors waged an hour-long fight to save Paletti's life, but he was pronounced dead at 5:45 p.m. from massive internal hemorrhaging, with his mother, Gina, at his bedside.
Pironi was on pole position when his engine quit and he raised his left arm as a warning signal to drivers behind him. All of them managed to avoid Pironi with the exception of Paletti, the last of 12 cars starting behind Pironi on the inside of the track from the 25th position on a 26-car grid.
As a lasting memorial to the Milan native, the racetrack near Varano in northern Italy, built in 1972, was renamed the Autodromo Riccardo Paletti. Ironically, Pironi had dedicated the 1982 Canadian Grand Prix to the memory of Villeneuve, his teammate at Ferrari.
Pironi's F1 career ended three months to the day after Villeneuve's death, when he suffered serious injuries to his legs in a crash during practice for the German Grand Prix. Pironi underwent more than 30 operations, but was never healthy enough to race again in F1, so he took up offshore powerboat racing.
Pironi was killed during the Needles Trophy Race near the Isle of Wight on Aug. 23, 1987, in an accident that also took lives of two of his crew members.
After Paletti's death, it would be 12 years before another driver fatality occurred on a Grand Prix weekend. In 1994 in San Marino, Austrian rookie Roland Ratzenberger was killed during qualifying and then three-time world champion Ayrton Senna of Brazil suffered fatal injuries during the race.
In only his second appearance in F1, Ratzenberger went off the track on a previous qualifying lap, damaging the front wing of his Simtek-Ford entry. But rather than head into the pits, he stayed out in an attempt to secure the final spot on the starting grid. The wing broke off and his car struck the outside wall of Villeneuve Corner at nearly 315 km/h.
Senna, a 34-year-old native of Sao Paulo with Williams, was a living legend, viewed as one of the best F1 drivers of all time. He led the race after a restart and on Lap 7, as he entered the high-speed Tamburello, his car became airborne at 330 km/h and struck a concrete retaining wall at 217 km/h. Senna suffered skull fractures, brain injury and a burst temporal artery. He died in hospital.
Discovered in the wreckage of Senna's car was a furled up Austrian flag that he intended to raise after the race in memory of Ratzenberger, whom he met for the first time only two days earlier.
Senna, whose nephew, Bruno Senna, is in F1 with Williams, was the 24th driver to suffer a fatal accident during a Grand Prix weekend since the inauguration of the F1 World Championship in 1950, making this the longest period in F1 history without a driver fatality.

Arsenal-West Ham United Preview
By TOM BENNETT
STATS European Football Writer
(AP) -- LONDON (SE) - West Ham will be looking to secure their second London derby win in a week when they welcome Arsenal to Upton Park on Saturday afternoon.
The Hammers beat Queens Park Rangers 2-1 on Monday to continue their excellent start to the season, but are wary of the threat of an Arsenal side two points below them in the league.
"It is not time to rest," said midfielder Matt Jarvis, who scored his first goal since joining the club against QPR. "We have had a very good start so far but we have some very tough games ahead of us, not least when we play Arsenal at home on Saturday.
"There are no easy games in this division. We now need to recover from the game at Loftus Road and then prepare for a battle at home on Saturday. We look like we could give anyone a game at the moment. We are the home side and I am sure the fans will give us their full support throughout the course of the match. We will have to work extremely hard to make sure we get something out of the game but if we do that there is no reason why we can't come away with a positive result."
Arsenal beat Olympiakos 3-1 in the Champions League on Wednesday, with under pressure striker Olivier Giroud setting up the first goal for Aaron Ramsey. The Frenchman's flicked header put the chance on a plate for Ramsey, and he told Arsenal supporters he is confident of getting on the score-sheet himself in the coming weeks.
"I'm not worried, I am confident," said Giroud. "I am not worried about the pressure. I want to play. It's like when you score one: you take confidence and more trust. You need to score, but I'm not worried about that. I feel good in this team, and I assisted. It's okay - I will continue to work harder and to score and to give a lot of pleasure to our fans.
"It's quite difficult to adapt to the Premier League. I'm always close to scoring, so I continue to stay confident. I try all I can but sometimes you need to keep the faith and keep going. Sometimes when you are a striker it is difficult. I feel very, very good in this city and with my team-mates and the people who work in this club, a very big club. I want to mature here and keep going."
West Ham have doubts over Joey O'Brien (knock), Winston Reid (concussion), Matthew Taylor (knock) and Jack Collison (knee). Arsenal are without Abou Diaby (thigh), Tomas Rosicky (calf), Lukas Fabianski (shoulder) and Wojciech Szczesny (ankle), while Bacary Sagna and Jack Wilshere are unlikely to feature.
Arsenal have won the last four meetings with West Ham in all competitions and haven't lost to the Hammers in nine. The Gunners have conceded just two goals in their last eight league games against West Ham, with both of those goals coming in a 2-2 draw in 2009. Sam Allardyce's side are unbeaten in four games and targeting their first five-game unbeaten run in the Premier League since April 2009.

Eclipse Review: The Best Twilight Film Yet!by Hilton Hater at .
While The Twilight Saga may boast an impressive, deep cast, let's face it: this franchise is all about its three main stars.
For that reason, New Moon fell a bit flat, as Robert Pattinson scarcely appeared as Edward and we were left with too much of Bella sitting around and simply pondering her life. Granted, Taylor Lautner took his shirt off a lot, but here's the great news about Eclipse:
Jacob is once again topless most of the time - but he isn't the only one heating up the screen. Having been treated to a screening of Eclipse, we can confirm: it's by far the most action-packed of all three Twilight films, and it's also the best. Here's why:
Bella's internal conflict has external consequences. Jacob or Edward? Edward or Jacob? This love triangle is at the forefront of the film, but it's placed against the backdrop of a centuries-old feud between werewolves and vampires.
This is far more than typical teenage angst; this is Bella needing to make a decision, the ramifications of which will impact all the lives around her. When Jacob and Edward agree to an alliance in order to protect the girl they love, even men in the audience might stand up and cheer. It's exciting, selfless stuff.
The movie has a sense of humor. Early on, Edward says of Jacob: "Doesn't he own a shirt?" It's a cute, light-hearted wink at the audience and the pop culture phenomenon the franchise has become.
Jacob vs. Edward. Choosing a Team in this rivalry is a necessity for all fans, and Eclipse sets up more of a dichotomy than ever before. At one point, Bella complains that Edward won't "unzip before marriage." Meanwhile, Jacob simply oozes sweat and sex appeal. The former is old school, the latter... well, he's ready to pounce. These differences make Bella's dilemma all the more stark, which makes it that much more interesting to watch.
The tent scene. Trust us.The flashbacks. Through a series of character flashbacks, we learn how multiple Cullens earned their fangs. Jasper's tale of being a Confederate Major is especially gripping.
Great special effects. The movie climaxes with a showdown between wolves and vampires (and one human, of course) that may not be at the level of Avatar, but it makes tremendous use of CGI. Overall, the action is on par with many summer popcorn flicks.
In the end, it's easy to understand why the Twilight Saga appeals to teenage girls everywhere: two gorgeous guys aren't just in love with Bella, they are willing to do absolutely anything for her. It's the stuff we all dream about.
But Eclipse adds action, adventure and history to that simple storyline. It combines the best elements of the first two films and we strongly recommend it to all readers.

Eclipse is the best of the series so far.... my hope is Breaking Dawn can do as much justice to it's book.... David Slade smashed all my doubts, the sense of humor was a must, he got it all right.... Edward and Bella were still a bit hurried through a few scenes, but there were many more scenes between them... after New Moon I said over and over again "It's Edward and Bella stupid" and it is, it is, and hopefully, a director with edge, yet sensitivity and vision fulfills the promise of Breaking Dawn.... and he pushes the big three (Rob, Kristen and Taylor) to their potential.... because they are more than capable.
To me, enhancing the "Eclipse" experience is best achieved by setting up a toasty campfire in front of the theater, right in front of the screen . I made sure I brought plenty of Ohio Blue tip matches and boxes of fireworks. I also brought marshmallows, sticks, graham crackers and Hershey bars to make s'mores. Theaters get cold sometimes, so the bonfire comes in pretty handy. I didn't even bother to bring blankets, but my cooler packed full of tasty brews certainly was in attendance!
I missed it because I was busy getting married. I had liposuction right before the wedding date and i'm still recovering from getting my excess fat sucked out. I can't stop farting from themedication, though, but that's OK because I really, really love to fart when I'm in need of a snack.

Supposedly, separate directors for the Long Beach and the Reno-Sparks Event will be appointed and the current CEO Bruce Walter will remain on as the overall executive director. There was no word on who would run the South Lake Tahoe event.
If the above does come — or already has come — to pass it would go a long way to mollify the bad feelings that were engendered this year when word on the secret Long Beach negotiations leaked out because of the efforts of a Southern California reporter, who still sticks by his original story. Local outrage was strong from many sectors of the Reno and Sparks communities and it was led, in large part, by the mayors of the two cities. While this year's version of the event in Reno and Sparks did not seem to be overly affected by the inclusion of a pre-HAN at South Lake Tahoe there was still a lot of animosity from the long time local sponsors, who have supported the event since its inception.
For the longest time now the HAN board has been very uncommunicative with both the two cities and the sponsors, saying only that when the board has finished its assessment of the 2010 overall show, will it be ready to make a statement.
All in all, the HAN story has to rank up there when it comes to picking the top local news story of the year. It might be superseded by what happens in Nevada on Election Day on Nov. 2.
Wolf Pack comes a cropper
The misgivings that a lot of University of Nevada, Reno football fans felt prior to last week's game against the University of Hawaii came true in the worst possible way. Hawaii completely dominated the game in the first half, leading 17-0 at halftime. The Rainbow Warriors seemed to have no difficulty in defensing the pistol offense and even our two mega stars, Colin Kaepernick and Vai Taua, were effectively throttled. As coach Chris Ault said after the game, "We had our chances to win." That was true as the Pack made costly mistakes that resulted in fumbles and interceptions at crucial times. Nevada did come out charged up in the second half and won that period, 21 to 10 but the first half hole was too much to make up.
Several days after the game quarterback Kaepernick told the press that he felt personally responsible for the loss and he might have been correct. His interceptions, particularly the final one as Nevada was moving well down the field toward what looked like a game winning score in the final minutes, was probably the worst of all the turnovers. What made that interception even more heartbreaking was that it came after Nevada had scored and then expertly recovered an on-side kick.
Another torturous moment for Pack fans occurred when Kaepernick took off to his left and apparently scored a TD even though the ball squirted out of his hand at the last moment. Upon review it was shown that the Kap had actually fumbled the ball about a foot in front of the goal and the ball had entered the end zone on its own, which resulted in a touch back and turned the ball over to Hawaii on its 20 yard line. Football purists, of which there are many in this area, were quick to note that the fumble had been caused by a Hawaii defender who stripped the football from Kaepernick's right hand. These same purists, many who have played for the Silver and Blue in the past, also were quick to note that the first thing offensive coaches will tell their ball carrying contingent is that the ball should always be carried in the arm closest to the sideline. If Kaepernick had followed this dictum, it would probably have been impossible for that defender to reach across and strip the ball from the Nevada QB's left hand or arm. Look for Nevada ball carriers to be 100 percent certain for the rest of the season to get the pigskin in the hand or arm closest to the sideline whenever they are carrying it.
Nevada the center of attention
For probably the first time in the history of the Silver State, Nevada will be the center of national attention on election night. The reason being that the highest ranking member of the U.S Senate is Nevadan Harry Reid.
Reid, who was miserably down in polling to any one of the three candidates in the Republican primary to oppose him, has been able to claw his way back to a virtual tie with Sharron Angle, the Republican nominee.
It is true that Reid has achieved the loftiest position of any Nevada politician thus far. It is also true he is a literal poster boy of the current administration, which has seen the country drop to its lowest level in the past two years. In addition, his home state is ranked the lowest of the low when it comes to foreclosures, unemployment and general malaise. Despite all this, Reid is a canny enough campaigner to continue to convince at least 50 percent of the projected voters that he is the man for whom they should vote.
The Reid-Angle contest is so important that this week vice president Joe Biden and the president himself have made stops in the state to stump for the embattled poor boy from Searchlight.
For her part, Angle drew an appearance by the current "rock star" of politics, Sarah Palin.
Whatever the outcome on Nov. 2, Nevada might prove to be the pivotal point as to what party gains the most power in Washington, D.C. for the foreseeable future.

You can browse our topics using the letters below, or search for a term.
Lees: Sediment—dead yeast cells, grapeseeds, stems, pulp and tartrates (harmless tartaric acid crystals)—remaining in a barrel or tank during and after fermentation. Immediately following fermentation, wine should be racked off of the gross lees, the large particulate matter such as seeds, skins and stems, which are rich in spoilage organisms. The wine may be aged for an extended period on the fine lees, however, in what's called "sur lie" aging. Fine lees, the dead yeast cells leftover from fermentation, can enhance an aging wine with added richness, flavor and aroma complexity, and can also bind with excess tannins.
Charmat: A less expensive, mass-production method for producing bulk quantities of sparkling wine. The second fermentation takes place in a pressurized tank, rather than in a bottle, decreasing lees contact and producing larger, coarser bubbles. The wine is filtered under pressure and bottled. Also known as the bulk process or tank method. Wines made this way cannot be labeled méthode Champenoise.
Sur Lie: Wines aged sur lie (French for "on the lees") are kept in contact with the dead yeast cells and are not racked or otherwise filtered. This is mainly done for whites, to enrich them. (It is a normal part of fermenting red wine, and so is not noted.) The concept originated in Burgundy, with Chardonnay, but is now popular around the world with numerous white grape varieties. Sur lie aging can be overdone, leading to an off-putting leesy flavor.
Recently Disgorged: Indicates that the lees have been removed from a sparkling wine just prior to release. After sparkling wine has undergone the second fermentation in the bottle, the wine can remain on the lees for many years to develop additional complexity and richness.
Riddling: In making sparkling wine, the process of moving the sediment remaining in the bottle from the second fermentation to rest on the cap for easy removal. The process of riddling is unique to méthode traditionelle and was developed by Madame Clicquot (Veuve Clicquot) in the early 1800s to remove the cloudy lees from the bottles. The bottles are loaded in a horizontal position onto wooden racks called pupitres. At this point, the sediment rests on the side of the bottle. As the bottles are riddled, or given a sharp quarter-turn daily and gradually tilted upside-down, the sediment works its way to the bottle neck. Today, most producers use efficient mechanical riddlers.
Tank Method: Also known as charmat, a less expensive method for making sparkling wine. The tank method is used to produce bulk quantities of inexpensive sparkling wines. The second fermentation takes place in a pressurized tank, rather than in a bottle, decreasing lees contact and producing larger, coarser bubbles. The wine is filtered under pressure and bottled. Wines made this way cannot be labeled méthode Champenoise.
Bâtonnage: French term for stirring the lees during the aging and maturation of wine.
Press: After fermentation, the mixture of red grape juice, skins, lees and other solids is pressed to separate the juice from the solids. Because extended skin contact is undesirable for white wines, white grapes are pressed before fermentation.
