LC-MS Gains Favor Due To the...

As Immunotherapy Revolutionizes the Cancer Treatment...
Wall Street Decline Takes Its Toll...
The U.K. agency charged with reviewing medicines for use by the National Health Service (NHS) rejected its eighth straight breast cancer drug when it issued draft guidance today stating it would turn down the use of Roche's Kadcyla (trastuzumab emtansine) because its benefits did not in its view outweigh its per-patient cost of £90,831 (about $153,000) per course of treatment.
The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) concluded that the price of Kadcyla was too costly for NHS access given the drug's extension of life by a median of 5.8 months in trials compared with the current U.K. standard of care, a combination of lapatinib plus capecitabine.
At issue was the use of Kadcyla, an antibody-drug conjugate consisting of trastuzumab linked to maytansine in women with human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) positive, unresectable locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer who were previously treated with trastuzumab and a taxane.
"The Committee concluded that trastuzumab emtansine does not represent a cost effective use of NHS resources," NICE stated in its draft appraisal consultation document, posted on its website. "The incremental cost-effectiveness ratio (ICER) for lapatinib plus capecitabine compared with capecitabine alone was £49,798 per quality-adjusted life year (QALY) gained (incremental costs £20,997 [$35,249], incremental QALYs 0.42). The ICER for trastuzumab emtansine compared with lapatinib plus capecitabine was £167,236 [$280,739] per QALY gained (incremental costs £76,992 [$129,251], incremental QALYs 0.46)."
That ICER rose to £185,600 [$311,559] per QALY gained when calculated for Kadcyla compared with lapatinib plus capecitabine, NICE added.
Roche told NICE that lapatinib plus capecitabine should be excluded from the analysis because the ICER for lapatinib plus capecitabine compared with capecitabine alone is above the normally acceptable maximum ICER. In a pairwise comparison of Kadcyla with capecitabine, the ICER was £111,095 per QALY gained (incremental costs £97,989, incremental QALYs 0.88).
Roche also used a 10-year time horizon, which showed that 3% of patients were alive after 10 years. At the request of NICE's Evidence Review Group, Roche also presented cost-effectiveness results using a 15-year time horizon. An incremental analysis showed that the ICER for Kadcyla compared with lapatinib plus capecitabine was £160,070 per QALY gained—and that just 1% of patients were alive at the end of the 15-year period.
"Roche is extremely disappointed that NICE has failed to safeguard the interests of patients with this advanced stage of aggressive disease," Jayson Dallas, general manager, Roche Products Limited, said today in a company statement."
NICE Chief Executive Sir Andrew Dillon countered in an institute statement: "We had hoped that Roche would have recognised the challenge the NHS faces in managing the adoption of expensive new treatments by reducing the cost of Kadcyla to the NHS."
"We apply as much flexibility as we can in approving new treatments, but the reality is that given its price and what it offers to patients, it will displace more health benefit which the NHS could achieve in other ways, than it will offer to patients with breast cancer," Dillon said, insisting: "We are very aware of the importance that people place on life-extending cancer drugs and a decision not to recommend a cancer treatment for routine NHS funding is never taken lightly."
Dillon noted that the U.K. already pays for use of Kadcyla through the government's Cancer Drugs Fund, established so that women with advanced stages of breast cancer could use drugs either not approved for NHS by NICE or awaiting a decision from the institute.
"A negative NICE appraisal on trastuzumab emtansine will not affect the availability of this drug via the Cancer Drugs Fund," an unnamed spokesperson for the fund told The Guardian.
Availability may be an issue in two years, however, since the cancer fund is set to go out of existence in March 2016.

This morning I felt myself almost go into another dimension. Want to keep it really real? Here's excerpts of an actual email I was exchanging with my friends:
It's like, I get up early and ALL THE KIDS get up, too. They know Mom is up! So I must get up too! And when I go to bed at night it's usually with one of them. WHEN DOES THIS SHIFT END AND OH HOW TEMPTED I WAS TO LEAVE OUT THAT F
This morning the kids did absolutely every annoying loud thing all in a span of fifteen minutes, like, NON STOP and I could see myself outside of myself, like about to snap. I am going out of town for two nights by myself in a couple weeks and the little guilt I had about leaving is ABSOLUTELY gone now. Like, zip. I need to get away or I am going to lose it. Oh man, I love my kids, but this is about me.and then I tweeted:
I know I choose to parent this way, I know, I know. It's very attached. But that doesn't mean I won't have growing pains along the way, or am exempt from being dramatic about it. Sheesh, mothers that do things way different than me complain about their life, their choices, too.
Somewhat unrelated, the drive home yesterday:
Somewhat related: I'm ordering Chinese for dinner.

The most amazing guy you will ever have the chance of knowing. One glance , and it will be love at first sight. Owen tends to have a very pure heart, and is good at showing those who have lost sight of who they are, exactly what amazing things they are capable of. One of the most genuine, down to earth, most precious being ever known to man kind. Nobody can compare to Owen. Not to mention, he is handsome beyond your wildest imagination. An amazing lover, in and out of the bedroom. An amazing friend. One could only hope to know Owen, because he is walking, living, breathing, human proof of perfection. The one a girl would want to have around for the rest of her god given days on earth with. To love. To take care of. He is the guy to show up after a long night at work, dressed up, unshowered and smelling like fast food and cologne, with a bouquet of flowers, just to tell his love that she is beautiful when she feels sad. he is amazing. He is the funniest guy in the world, and will never fail to make the people around him laugh and smile. Charismastic, resilient, loyal, trustworthy, who wouldn't want Owen in their life? He will make a wonderful husband, an amazing father, and he will forever and always be loved and cherished for the rest of time by the girl he so chooses to spend his life with. She's a lucky girl to have Owen.

Enjoy Total Body Health with My Original Omega-3 Formula
Altogether, Omega Defense® helps support …
- Bone growth and calcium absorption
- Brain function and cognitive health
- Circulation, blood flow, and total heart health
- Your immune system and overall vitality
Aside from a healthy diet and exercise, taking a daily dose of DHA-rich Calamarine® oil plus vitamin D3 and vitamin K2 for heart, brain, bone, and total body health is one of the absolute best things you can do for yourself. What's more, the overwhelming body of research on the amazing nutrients in Omega Defense indicates that you may start feeling the dramatic effects on your body in just a matter of weeks. You soon may…
- Feel younger, more agile (with an extra skip in your step)
- Move more easily (your joints won't be as stiff)
- And, notice your mind and mood improving (you'll feel like your old self again)
And, aside from all the benefits you'll actually be able to feel, this heart and brain health supplement is providing several life-altering changes your doctor will be able to measure, including…
- Normal total cholesterol and triglyceride levels
- Improvement in "good" HDL cholesterol levels
- Healthy blood pressure
- Normal CRP and homocysteine levels
Total body, head-to-toe protection
The reason for Omega Defense's success is its ability to target nearly two dozen health conditions, all at once, every day. That's total body protection, head-to-toe nourishment and iron-clad defenses—all leading to a healthier heart, sharper brain, stronger bones and joints, and much more.
What's more, these three extraordinary ingredients are next to impossible to get in your diet or from most multivitamins. And I can virtually guarantee your body is deficient in these nutrients if you're not getting the exact forms your body needs to be absorbed.
Here's what my Omega Defense gives you…
Calamarine® oil concentrate for normal blood pressure, healthy circulation, and much more
Omega Defense contains highly purified omega-3s that come from a dietary source called Calamarine®. Calamarine omega-3 oil concentrate is significantly better than most fish oils because it is far richer in DHA than ordinary fish oil. Plus, DHA is difficult to get in your diet, and research shows that DHA supplementation—the Holy Grail of omega nutrition—has a better effect in promoting normal blood pressure levels as well as healthy circulation and HDL levels, memory and cognitive function, eye health, and more.
Most ordinary fish oils have some—but not nearly enough—DHA. Omega Defense goes way beyond conventional dosages to include far more than you're likely to find in most other fish oil supplements. What's more, the Calamarine in Omega Defense is the purest, cleanest, and most remarkably rich omega-3 oil I've ever seen. Squid produce a higher quality, purer form of omega-3s high in DHA—for a more stable and sustainable fish oil. If you've had trouble taking fish oil in the past due to the "fishy taste," you'll have no problem with Omega Defense. In fact, the Calamarine oil is so clean and pure that it has no taste at all!
Vitamin D3 for bone health, calcium absorption, and physical mobility
I've talked about vitamin D for years; it's all over the news, and I'm sure your doctor has told you many times over why it's so important to include vitamin D in your diet. But what you may not know is the power behind the 3 in D3. D3 is your body's preferred form of vitamin D and supports bone health, calcium absorption, physical mobility, healthy metabolism, cellular health, colon health, and the processing of sugar in the body. Vitamin D also increases the activity of natural killer cells and T cells, thus supporting the immune system. In essence, D3 is one of the most useful nutritional tools we have available for improving overall health.
Vitamin K2 partners with vitamin D3 for unprecedented nutritional synergy
While other vitamins get more attention, vitamin K2 has been just waiting to burst into the spotlight. In fact, I'd say it's one of the world's most powerful supplements most people have never heard of! But groundbreaking research has propelled this underappreciated vitamin into the forefront of cutting-edge nutritional support. This vitamin partners with vitamin D to help keep calcium in your bones and works alongside the omega-3s for cardiovascular support—and as with any vitamin, the form is crucial. While K1 is beneficial, studies have found the K2 form gives you much stronger bone and cardiovascular support. Omega Defense gives you a very specific form of K2 called MK-7, which is more active and has a longer chain of this essential nutrient. In other words, the unique molecular structure keeps this nutrient active and working longer in your body than ordinary vitamin K.

We're in Charlottesville, VA
This one really looks impossible!
Here's how it goes: you push a small magic wand through a hole in a square tube, which blocks the opening in the tube. Anything trying to pass through the tube will be blocked by the wand. But then you drop a die into the tube- and it passes through the wand and out the other end of the tube!
This is a clever piece of magic equipment! Shows up well for a small group or classroom too!
And that's all you need!

CRYSTAL BAY, Nev. - How about some Purple Haze to go with the cranberry sauce?Ralph Woodson's Jimi Hendrix tribute, Purple Haze, performs for the sixth time in the Crystal Bay Casino Crown Room Friday, Nov. 23.Hendrix, who would have turned 70 on Tuesday, Nov. 27, remains popular today. Lake Tahoe Action interviewed Woodson about Hendrix and what type of music he might be playing today if he had lived.Q You played all the instruments on every song but one on your album "Incredible Dreamer." How difficult is it to switch from guitar to bass?A Any guitar player can pick up a bass and fill in the bass notes. But to play bass like a bass player, that takes some work. It's a different thing than just playing the little end of a guitar. You have to play bass patterns and think like a bass player. Noel Redding (original bassist in Jimi Hendrix Experience) was a guitar player who picked up the bass. Jimi put him in the band because he liked his hairdo. He got it done, but when Billy Cox got in the band, you could see what a real bass player was playing on those same songs.Q Hendrix played guitar just 12 years. People are blown away when they hear that.A He's a genius. That puts it all in perspective right there.Q How long did it take for you to get paid to play?A I was getting paying gigs after I was playing two years. We were doing R&B, like a lot of Isley Brothers. We had a chaperone because we weren't old enough to get into the clubs. We were getting all the Bay Area Army and Air Force bases and little clubs.Q How good were you after 12 years?A Not as good as Jimi.Q He was a lefty. Why didn't he play a left-handed guitar?A Back then it was really hard to find a left-handed guitar to begin with. If you did find a left-handed guitar, it wasn't built as good as a right-handed guitar was. He flipped it over and he restrung it. Albert King didn't restring it. Or Otis Rush.Q What's the hardest thing to emulate from his style?A What goes in between the notes. Not the notes themselves. It's all the stuff that he does in between the notes. That's the hardest thing to emulate. And even he couldn't do it the same every night. He pulled a lot of stuff out between the notes: the feedback, the tone, the nuances. He was the king of it.Q I've seen Buddy Guy emulate John Lee Hooker's "Boom Boom" and Jimi's "Voodoo Child" without changing the tuning. How does he do that?A Most of those old blues songs are in E flat, in that key that Hendrix was in in "Voodoo Child." He's probably tuned down, too, a half-step. Sometime down a whole step to D.Q So Jimi has a brother who plays?A He's still playing around now. His name is Leon Hendrix. He's up in Seattle. He was OK. He wasn't Jimi Hendrix. It was great to meet him and talk to him.Q I say the American male instrument of choice is the electric guitar. Why is that?A I agree with you and I say the reason is Jimi Hendrix. That's who made it an instrument that came to the forefront. Before him, it was mostly a rhythm instrument, especially where I come from. R&B and Sly and the Family Stone and The Beatles. It was a rhythm instrument. Hendrix made it sing and he made it take the lead. It actually was the lead in the band.Q He would have been 70 years old this week. We know he was about to collaborate with Miles Davis just before he died. What do you think he'd be doing if he were still alive?A I think he'd be doing something like a fusion thing that you can't imagine. Whatever would be his fun project. And I also think he would be participating with the youngsters, like Santana does. Or maybe even some stuff with rap. I think he would be reaching out both ways. And by now he would be recognized as a fusion musician. He wouldn't be a popular musician in the sense of ... I think he would be considered in the category of a Miles Davis. By now he would be out of that group like anyone was pressuring him to sound like "Purple Haze" again. He would be changing immensely. Each project would be totally different. Every album he did was a different Jimi Hendrix. He definitely evolved.Q Why do fans always covet a guitar god?A It's a staple of American music now. And it's a staple for a smaller and smaller amount of people that still exist. For the youngsters, not as much. Most of the urban music, the guitar, you can take it or leave it. It's not an out-front instrument anymore. It was for a while, remember the Isley Brothers after the Jimi Hendrix influence? But now in the urban music, the guitar is more of a rhythm instrument again.Q What do you think of techno?A It doesn't work for me but obviously they're getting something out of it. I know one thing, it's cool to watch women dance. That's what I like about it.

Lithgow won Best Guest Actor in a drama at Saturday's Creative Arts Emmys for his bone-chilling role as a serial murderer on Showtime's Dexter.
Lithgow, 64, credited his chemistry with onscreen nemesis Michael C. Hall for bringing the character to terrifying life – and said Hall is "doing very, very well" since revealing in January that he was in remission from Hodgkin's lymphoma.
"There were about four days over the course of that season last year that I had to work as hard as Michael does every day," Lithgow told reporters after winning his Emmy. "He's had no trouble this season working five days a week, so I'm delighted."
Lithgow also offered reporters a puzzled reaction to his onstage gaffe – in accepting the award, he thanked rival network HBO rather than Showtime.
"I said HBO?" he said afterward. "I'll never live that down."

An East Amherst man who allegedly sexually abused numerous young children has been charged with several counts of felony sexual conduct and sexual abuse following an eight-month investigation, Amherst Detective Lt. Joseph A. LaCorte announced Monday.
The charges were brought against Ken F. Lee, 50, of Dodger Place, which is in a subdivision between Transit Road and Millersport Highway, LaCorte said.
Special Victims Unit Detectives Mark Pitirri and Cindy Herberger received information that led to an extensive investigation to confirm the allegations against Lee, LaCorte said.
"The victims ranged in age from 6 to 8 years old. There are numerous victims and anyone else with additional information please contact us," LaCorte said.
The number to call is 689-1393.
Lee has been released on his own recognizance and is scheduled to return to court later this month.

We did not even get a proper chance to say good-bye.
The folks who run the little jewel of a racetrack in Fort Erie, which ended its season Monday, expected a helping hand. Instead, they got a knife in the neck.
At the wrong end of the figurative shiv were not just the track's owners. The list of victims includes horse owners, trainers, jockeys, stable hands and thousands of racing fans – myself included. A government report released last week was expected to chart the road to recovery. It instead assumed the track's demise.
"This is a complete reversal of what we anticipated," said Jim Thibert, who heads the consortium that runs the track. "Everyone is deflated."
I discovered Fort Erie racetrack, with its landscaped, lake-dotted infield, soon after I moved here 30 years ago. When my kids were little, we would sometimes go on a weekend afternoon – the girls playing on the parklike back lawn while I made donations at the betting window.
The addition of slot machines swallowed most of the lawn a decade ago. But the revenue crutch that came with the slots seemed like an acceptable trade-off for the track's survival.
Fast forward to last spring. Ontario shut its racetrack slots, putting Fort Erie and other tracks on life support. Last week's government report was supposed to suggest a remedy. Instead, the consolidate-resources cure sacrifices Fort Erie. In a single sentence, it concludes that the track will "close."
Thibert is a white-haired, firm-gripping force of nature who also runs Fort Erie's development agency. He anticipated a survival plan. Instead, a provincial panel wrote off Fort Erie's 115 years of racing past – and any future.
The panel's racetrack remedies include pooled revenue, fewer racing days and other-sports betting. All of which, said Thibert, would work for Fort Erie.
"If we had these tools," Thibert said, "we would survive, and thrive."
It looks like Fort Erie was scratched in favor of Ajax Downs, a smaller track east of Toronto that lacks the barns, backstretch and development acreage of Fort Erie. But the track's big city proximity – and the political muscle of its principals – apparently hurdled it over Fort Erie. Thibert vows to fight the closing. It looks like a long shot.
If the track shuts, it chips a piece off of our quality of life. Fort Erie is the only place to see thoroughbreds within a 90-minute drive of Buffalo. With its low-key buzz and understated appeal, the track has for decades been a pleasant (and sometimes profitable) afternoon getaway for countless folks.
The track's appeal went beyond betting. There is something special about standing near the paddock, close enough to touch these magnificent animals as they step towards the oval, guided by jockeys in rainbow-hued silks. I will miss the place, and I know I'm not the only one.
The apparent death sentence is bad enough. Worse, the track was not given a chance to fight through the homestretch. It seems like less of a defeat than a betrayal – and a twisted punctuation on 115 worthy years.

Published October 3, 2013
UB's Cora P. Maloney College (CPMC) last week celebrated with Buffalo community leaders the rededication of the college, the legacy of Cora P. Maloney and an expansion of the college's services.
Formerly known as the Center for Academic Development Services, CPMC remains one of UB's primary connections to the Buffalo community. The college focuses on a range of educational issues, including academic achievement and enhancement, social justice and cross-cultural awareness.
"We like to think of Cora P. Maloney College as Buffalo's college within the university," Henry Durand, senior associate vice provost of undergraduate education and executive director of CPMC, told those gathered for a rededication ceremony on Sept. 27 in the Screening Room in the Center for the Arts. "The two are symbiotic. There is a great deal of talent out there that is untapped, and UB is the place to provide the training for that talent."
Durand, a UB administrator for 23 years, will step down as executive director of CPMC next year to take a full-time appointment as an associate professor in the Graduate School of Education. A scholarship to provide financial support to CPMC students who might otherwise be unable to obtain their degree at UB has been established in Durand's honor.
"At the time I founded this program in the late 1960s and early 1970s, federal TRIO programs (federal outreach and student services programs for individuals from disadvantaged backgrounds) were treated as the stepchild of universities," said Durand, who first joined UB as the director of the Educational Opportunity Program. "But when I recognized the support that existed for the programs here at the UB, I was swayed."
Named after Maloney, an African-American pharmacist and prominent political and social activist in Buffalo, CPMC was founded in 1976 as one UB's living and learning communities that combined residential and academic programs focused on specific theme areas of interest and concern to UB students. Since that time, the college has expanded in programs and size, but has preserved its focus on the study and improvement of Buffalo's communities.
Local community leaders attending the rededication included
state Assembly Member Crystal Peoples-Stokes; Ellen Grant, Buffalo
deputy mayor; Barbara Seals Nevergold, president of the Buffalo
School Board; Peggy Brooks Bertram, co-founder and president of the
Uncrowned Queens Institute for Research and Education on Women
Inc.; state Sen. Mark Grisanti; SUNY Trustee Eunice A. Lewin; and
Nathan Hare, executive director of the Community Action
"UB is a huge economic arm of the Western New York community. Look almost anywhere across the city and you will see the footprint of UB," Peoples-Stokes said in her remarks. "Cora P. Maloney College becomes even more important because we want to make sure that the footprint includes all ethnicities, shapes, sizes and genders."
CPMC is the home of several state and federal programs designed to increase the diversity of students on college campuses. Among them:
The college also offers community focused college-credit courses and a tutoring center that serves more than 3,000 students
Details of the Dr. Henry J. Durand, Jr. Scholarship will be formally announced at a later date. Those wishing to support the scholarship fund should contact Brandi Moses, EOP office manager, at firstname.lastname@example.com or (716) 645-5583.

A capsule look at Bill O'Brien's weekly news conference.
Opponent: Purdue (3-5, 0-4 Big Ten)
Last time vs. Penn State: The Lions won at home last year, 23-18.
Article Video
Kickoff: Saturday, 3:30 p.m., Ross-Ade Stadium
Television: ESPNU
Line: PSU is a 3 1/2-point favorite; over/under is 51 1/2
Looking forward, not back: The first question for O'Brien was about PSU's nine penalties in the loss to Ohio State, and the coach immediately made it clear he didn't want to talk about that game. "We have moved on from Ohio State and moved on to Purdue," O'Brien said. "Hopefully we have corrected the mistakes from that game in practice and will continue to do that over the next three days here, but we have a big challenge for us at Purdue, and we've turned the page."
Hey there, Charlie Brown: O'Brien has a good sense of humor, which fans already have seen during his public speaking appearances. He had a good line during his teleconference after having trouble hearing some garbled questions from the speakerphone. "We've got to get a better speaker here. That's like Charlie Brown's teacher," he said. A few seconds later, he even did the comical voice effect of the teacher, saying, "Wah wah wah wah."
Zebra talk: O'Brien chose his words carefully when asked about officiating, coming on the heels of some questionable calls going against PSU and some things not getting called (such as a blatant hold on Michael Mauti when Braxton Miller scored his acrobatic 1-yard TD). He said he will have questions for the Big Ten after the season about its policies and procedures. "I want things defined, 'What is this, what is that, what are we looking for, here?'" he said. The school submits things to the Big Ten if it has a question about a call. "That will be one of my questions: OK, what happens when we send 'em in? We get a response, but what's done about that?" the coach said. "Do we try to fix the problem, do we just, OK, that was the answer, all right, next game? So those will be things I will try to address after the season."
Zebra talk, part 2: O'Brien added this about his talks with officials during games: "I'm sure they haven't had a lot of fun with me, certain crews haven't had a lot of fun with me, and I'm going to fight for my staff and for Penn State."
Challenging times: O'Brien inherited a difficult situation and was asked what his toughest challenges have been through eight games. He said it would take all day to discuss all of them. "There are challenges every day, whether it's administrative challenges or maybe players come to you and they have personal issues," he said. His goal every day is to "work extremely hard and be organized in my work." His bottom line is honesty. "[What] I've tried to do is be open, honest with our staff, with our players, and to make sure that everybody has an idea every single day of where they stand," he said.
Always trying to improve: O'Brien made several decisions that didn't work against Ohio State and was critical of himself. He acknowledged that he tries to critique himself every day so that he's "making sure I'm doing the best I can for these players and this university," he said. "That's every single day, whether we win or lose. I'm always trying to figure out what I could do better than the day before or the practice before or the game before. That will never change."

Digital Album: $9.99
Irish singer Niamh Parsons brings us "ancient tales of love and war" on her powerful new album, The Old Simplicity. Hailed for her "simply magnificent traditional singing" by Irish Music Magazine, Niamh has collected songs from both contemporary and traditional sources for the album, including originals by Linda Thompson, David Olney and Ron Kavanaugh. She teams again with guitarist Graham Dunne and producer Dennis Cahill, as on 2002's Heart's Desire (Green Linnet), named Celtic Album of the Year by the Association of Independent Music.
Reviews For The Old Simplicity:
"The sorrow of Irish loneliness is preserved most potently in the country's music. In Niamh Parsons' bold, Sandy Denny-like alto, their sadness becomes the listener's happiness. Her new CD The OldSimplicity is a rich celebration of the fruits of melancholy." - Pamela Murray Winters, The Washington Post
"Over the past decade, Parsons has emerged as one of Ireland's premier traditional divas. Her dusky mezzo is a gorgeous ballad instrument, falling right between Mary Black's pristine purity and Dolores Keane's husky passion. She is right at home with both the contemporary songs she sprinkles amid the trad gems on her new CD, The Old Simplicity. Whether singing about the human toll of hard times; the "heroes that don't come;" or the ache of love lost, she always seems to be just telling us her own story." - Scott Alarik, Boston Globe
"In a voice filled with sweet melancholy and stately passion, Niamh Parsons sings traditional Irish songs, making ancient tales of love sound tender and immediate. A remarkable a cappella singer." - The New York Times

Performance test for goats
The nomination period for the 2013 Western Maryland Pasture-Based Meat Goat Performance Test is April 1 thru May 15. The test is open to male goats of any breed or breed cross, with or without registration papers or registration eligibility.
Consigners may nominate up to five goats to the test. The nomination fee is $20 per goat. A minimum of two is recommended. Half-sibs (same sire) are recommended. The total cost of testing a goat will be $100. This fee will be used to pay for daily care, pasture maintenance and renovation, fencing repairs, minerals, veterinary costs, fecal testing, larvae ID, ultrasound scanning and sale advertisement. The balance of payment ($80/goat) is due when the goats are delivered to the test location June 1.
Eligible goats must have been born between December 20, 2012, and March 20. They must weigh between 35 and 70 pounds upon delivery to the test site June 1. They must have been weaned for at least two weeks and have received two inoculations for overeating disease (type C & D) and tetanus. Their hooves must be trimmed (if necessary) prior to arrival at the test site.
Each consignment of goats must be accompanied by appropriate health papers: intrastate health papers for in-state goats and interstate health papers for out-of-state consignments. Consigners must also fill out a self-certification form, attesting to the health of their animals. All goats must have official USDA scrapie identification.
With the exception of the health papers, all of the documents pertinent to the goat test may be downloaded from the blog at mdgoattest.blogspot.com. Nomination packets are available upon request. Contact Susan Schoenian at 301-432-2767 ext. 343 or sschoen@umd .edu to request a packet.
During the test, the goats will be handled every two weeks to record data and collect fecal samples. Towards the end of the test, they will be scanned to determine carcass characteristics. They will also be evaluated for structural correctness and reproductive performance.
Goats meeting Gold, Silver and Bronze standards of performance will be eligible to sell. A sale is tentatively scheduled for September 21 in Chatham, Virginia. Goats which qualify for the sale must be sold at the sale. Goats not qualifying for the sale may be sold via private treaty. Goats not sold for breeding or to a commercial buyer must be picked up from the test site September 14. Special permission will be required to pick up goats after (or before) September 14.

Amazing But Drying
I have been using biosilk for the past 4 years. It smells great and makes my hair shiny and smooth. You can also use it as a lotion on your body! Smells great. But if i use it more than once a week my hair becomes dry and has much more split ends... use in moderation.

I first received this item by mistake from my hair dresser. She was to order me Chi Silk Infusion and this came instead. I am a huge Tony and Guy, Girl Toys fan, however after using this product I never went back to using the previous product. I have very naturally curly hair and lots of it and it can get really frizzy. Using Bio Silk along with Chi Silk Infusion makes my hair so soft and smooth. I am complimented frequently about my hair. Of course a good diet helps too. I also use Chi Silk Infusion. A trial size came with my very first Chi flat iron and the 2 together work miracles for my hair. I am so glad I found Folica, great prices on the products I use.

I use Biosilk after shampooing and conditioning and before blow drying. I mix it with a leave in conditioner since I have thick, dry and course hair. It leaves my hair in good shape for the heat that follows next and after a blow dry and flat iron, my hair is silky feeling and smooth. Biosilk also smells great. Sometimes on day 2, if my ends look dry, I throw a little on and it makes them look better.

Biosilk Silk Therapy Makes My Hair Like New
I've used BioSilk Silk Therapy for many years. I'm now 60 years old and it makes my hair feel and move like I was 25 years old. If you put a tiny bit in your palm, not much, then rub it onto WET, towel dried hair it works best. Then comb it out and do whatever you do to your hair. When my hair is dry and ready to style I add just a dot more. Just a tiny dot into the palm of the hand and rub it mostly into the end areas of the hair, then the rest of the hair. It's silky smooth. One reviewer said it is oily and won't even wash off with soap and water. Not true if you use it correctly. It only takes a tiny bit, and it does come off when applying to WET hair. When applying to dry hair, and you use just a dot of it, you can end up with a little bit on your hand. I just smooth it all over my hands as if it were hand lotion, even on the arm if you have that much left over (which you should not have that much left if you use just a little dot). Then it will wash off easily. The trick is not to use too much, and doing that will save you money too. It's wonderful. Your hair will move and swing, a comb with go through it, fingers absolutely can run through it without tangling. I love love love it.

I have been using this for years and still receive compliments on how good I smell. I have dry ends but an oily scalp so it works best for me if I only use it on my ends. I also mix a small amount with unscented body lotion and it makes my skin soft and smell great.

Simply Amazing
I have thick, frizzy and curly hair and bought numerous hair products to tame it with very little success. I SIMPLY LOVE this product. I apply a dime size of this wonderful smelling stuff use the Sedu ultra hair dryer, followed by Sedu straightner and the transformation is amazing. And the beauty of all of this is that it takes me only 20 minutes at the most to feel good about the way my hair looks!

Biosilk Silk Therapy
First off this is the biggest size that i got on Rite Aid for $33 and the price on Folica is almost half off!! Its a good deal people!!!I first used this yesterday after i washed my hair with VO5 herbal escapes moisturizing shampoo and VO5 silky experiences lavender conditioner. I towel dried my hair and combed it out.Then I put a DIME SIZED AMOUNT its really important because its highly concentrated and thats really all you need which is why the biosilk will probably last forever because you only need that little.More will make hair extremely greasy. I rubbed it between my hands and started at the ends of my hair going up,i left it in and when i woke up in the morning my hair was extremely shiny and soft but my hair was just as poofy and frizzy with flyaways. The Biosilk can also be used as a heat protectant so i rubbed a dime size amount in my hair starting at the ends and going up. I sectioned off my hair and straightened my hair with the Sedu 1 1/2 inch. The biosilk smells amazing. When i was done,my hair looked really good but it had a few flyaways so i took a dime size amount of the biosilk and rubbed it between my hands and started at the ends of my hair going up. The result was AMAZING!!!!!! All of the frizzies and flyaways went away and i got extra shine and softness. It lasts all day. The Biosilk Silk Therapy actually makes it a little too soft in my opinion. I think its worth it especially since it can be used as a leave in,serum,lotion[it makes my hand really soft],and heat protectant and since only a dime size amount is needed because if more is used it will weigh hair down and make it look greasy but the dime size amount makes my hair look beautiful without weighing it down. i think it works best if used right after straightening. Itll probably last me a long time! I love it=]. I absolutely love it. I was skeptical too since its not cheap but its totally worth it.

Things are heating up in the South men's leagues, the Flags finalists have all been decided, which means 3 finals on one day hosted by Reading Lacrosse Club on the 14th March. For those that don't know, FLAGS is the traditional name for the English knock out tournament. Teams are seeded, dependent on their league status, and entered into one of three levels; Senior, Intermediate and Minor.
Once in the draw it's a straight "winner takes all" right through to the final. It is a great opportunity for clubs from the East and West divisions to compare standards. Through to the Senior final are Spencer (South London) and Hitchin (Hertfordshire); Spencer, have beat Hitchin twice in the league and will go into the game as favourites, but who knows on the day.
In the Intermediate it's a repeat of Last season's final, Bath v Cardiff Harlequins, both from the West, Bath hold a slight upper hand in league games, just like last year, but Cardiff took the flags and that really spoilt the Bath party. In the Minor its Spencer 2 (East) against Penarth (West), this one should be close, Spencer 2 are very experienced whilst Penarth (just South of Cardiff in Wales) are full of youth.
Predictions on a post card.
Why is it called "Flags", apparently in the very old days (yes before this bloggers time) there were no cross bars on the goals, just a couple of 6ft posts with flags on the top, seems it was tradition for the winners to take the flags off the posts as the spoils of the game. I've seen the South Flags, and they are over 100years old, kept in big wooden cases, quite a bit of history on one old bit of embroidered cloth.
On the development front it has been real quiet, it's the end of Half term (mid semester) all the schools, and hence the coaches, are away on break, mostly skiing, out of sight out of mind. It doesn't stop the "Money go round" though and bids for finance at local levels are in the pipeline.
The Regional Pop Lacrosse tournaments are starting to roll out, this week its Hampshire, lots of 11 yr old kids running around with pop lacrosse stick, I love it, their enthusiasm is contagious. At the club we're about to host the National U12 8 a-side tournament, on the recreation ground in Bath, and that will trigger the invites for the Bath eights in September, it's one of the biggest in Europe and takes a lot of pre planning. E Lacrosse filmed the whole thing in 2004.
Me ,I've got a wedding to go to (my Bro) at the weekend, way up next to Lake Windermere in Cumbria, lots of family and lots of booze. Oh, and I have a Birthday on Tuesday, celebrated by refereeing the aforementioned Pop tournament, then coaching the girls team, might get a pint in afterwards.

It's given Lutz the chance to look back on what's happened in his life since he got his big break playing actor Chris MacNess in 2005, and he says he sees some similarities in their journeys.
"He's matured quite a bit. Much like myself, when I started in this industry I was just like a little puppy. I was really passionate about it and had no idea what I was doing," Lutz told PEOPLE Monday at the Fragrance Foundation Awards in N.Y.C. "But throughout experience and years of working, you really start to feel really comfortable and I've been doing it a long time now and I've really appreciated it."
The Legend of Hercules and Twilight heartthrob, who also has a role in The Expendables 3 (in theaters Aug. 15), says that appreciating life is the key to finding happiness in a tough business.
"If you don't learn to be happy where you are, you'll never get to where you want to be," is a motto that Lutz, 29, says he lives by.
"For people in L.A., they don't see and appreciate what they do have," he says. "I travel and I work for a lot of organizations around the world where they have the very minimum. If you don't take yourself outside of your little box, or your little Pleasantville, and experience different cultures and societies to help you reflect on your current situation, you never will."
According to Lutz, this philosophy can help when dealing with the rejection that can be part of an actor's job.
"It's a tough town in L.A. I have a lot of friends where it's just 'No, no, no, no.' And you gotta be a strong person in what we do, in the industry and in any way, shape or form," he says.
"You gotta find your own happiness. It can't come from someone else you're dating, your profession, your job – it's gotta come from the inside. If you love yourself and you're happy with yourself it will take you to where you want to be."

If you haven't already had the pleasure, meet Macy, the Elkins Police Department's newest four-legged officer.
The 18-month-old chocolate Labrador Retriever is wrapping up her second week of work as the department's drug and tracking dog, alongside her handler Cpl. C.D. Cross. And her boss, Chief Rob White with the EPD, couldn't be happier with her job performance thus far, he said during an interview Friday.
"On her very first time out, on her very first traffic stop, she hit on drugs," White said proudly.

Cpl. C.D. Cross with the Elkins Police Department performs a drug search demonstration with K-9 Officer Macy, the EPD's new drug and tracking dog Friday afternoon. Eighteen-month-old Macy is a chocolate Labrador Retriever.
The Inter-Mountain photo by Katie Kuba
So, what exactly does it mean for K-9 officer Macy to "hit" on drugs?
According to White and Cross, Macy is a passive drug dog, meaning she does not physically search people. Instead, when she detects the presence of marijuana, opiates, methamphetamine or cocaine - or some derivative from one of those four drug categories - Macy plops down into a sitting position in front of the person or object containing the substances.
That action alerts her handler, Cross, that further investigation is warranted.
Macy will be scouting out high-traffic public areas and schools - she made her first visit to Elkins High School Monday, where she was "very successful," Cross said - and can also be used during traffic stops.
"Traffic stops are a big thing," Cross said, noting that the number of mobile "shake-and-bake" meth labs are on the rise, a problem he hopes Officer Macy can help combat.
Macy is also certified as a tracker dog, who can locate lost individuals or alleged criminals on the lam. She will eventually be visiting area elementary schools for show-and-tell sessions.
In mid-August, the police department purchased Macy for $4,500 from the Charleston-based business, Working Dogs, which equips police departments in West Virginia and across the country with police dogs.
Macy and Cross then underwent a period of training during which they had an opportunity to bond.
White said the money used to acquire Macy came from a private donor, who does not wish to have his or her identity disclosed.
"I handled it in such a way that the City does not even know who did that," White said.
Cross describes his canine co-worker as having a "strong drive" - or motivation to do her job well - and a sweet demeanor.
But despite the fact that Macy recognizes Cross as her master, "She's really well-liked throughout the whole department," White said. "She's become a buddy."
In other police department news, AAA recently awarded the EPD the 2012 Community Traffic Safety Platinum Award for the second consecutive year - the highest honor a police department can garner in that area from AAA. White said the department holds traffic safety classes for children, routinely runs DUI patrols and has worked with the state on where to place crosswalks in an effort to make the community as safe as possible.

text: As I write this, the temperature is below freezing. However, it is supposed to warm up again for the next week or so before turning cold again. I found a lizard outside my door yesterday morning, with its tail stuck straight up in the air. I thought it had frozen to death, so I picked it up by the tail to dispose of it. To my surprise, it twitched! I moved it to a place where the sun first hits and observed. As it warmed up, the lizard lowered its tail. After a bit more time in the sun, it was able to walk away.

Contrary to popular belief this has nothing to do with Canada or lumberjacks. Should be used when you're trying to compliment or insult someone.
I don't know what 'earn the flannel' means, but Jeff said that to me and I have mixed feelings about it.

Since when were the Jets cash strapped? They had a $53,139,265 payroll last year with $11,160,735 available and with 15,300 seats that were full every night at the MTS centre, they grossed near the top of the league in revenue not to mention other sales. They've been back here in Winnipeg for 1 season, sold the most merch by far in the NHL this season and that's a confirmed fact and are currently in the process of contract talks and re-signing of players just like every other team in the league.
The Jets are cash strapped, they are poorly managed. heck they only have 4 players signed through the 2013 season. How does any team only have 4 guys signed? TBH if we are going to try and deal with the jets, I would rather go after their Dman Bo-soemthing or another. Big young Rh D. Fills more of a need.
Kane, Fehr, Mahachek, and Pavelec are RFA this summer. Slater, Glass, Wellwood, Stapleton, Jones, Flood and Mason are UFA.
Currently, they have 14 players signed for $36,867,959 with $33,432,042 cap room with the cap set at $70,300,000.
They need to resign Kane, Machacek, Slater, Wellwood, Stapleton, Flood, Pavelec and Mason. Grab a couple UFA from free agency in place of the others that need not be re-signed and they're good to go.
Main points here:
1. Your posts have zero credibility cause you do no research and spew off the cuff bulls***.
2. The Jets are one of the best managed teams in the league with the entire city of Winnipeg behind them.
3. Players actually want to come to Winnipeg that aren't named Bryzgalov or Belanger cause of the excitement and the fanbase that makes the team feel at home.
Kane will be signed for probably 5 years at about 4.5 per year by the Jets.

The victim said he was attacked by five to seven people, one of them a woman, about 11:40 p.m. at Prospect Avenue and Georgia Street, Central District police reported. The woman kicked the victim in the face and another person punched him in the ribs, police said. No arrests had been made in the case as of Sunday night.

This is not a topic that is political, or newsworthy perhaps, but it is important.
If you have an inside pet, please...please...take a moment and look around your home and make sure it is safe. First and foremost, consider either removing their collar or switching to a breakaway collar indoors. Keep a separate, regular collar for walks, etc. Do your best to "babyproof" you home for these guys...especially the little ones.
I make this plea after my beloved little shihtzu, Sam, died in my home yesterday while I was away from home for just a few hours. Sam was a jumper. Apparently he was jumping at the front door to see out the window when his collar caught on the door handle. My daughter found him when she opened the front door when we got home. It was a horrible and heartbreaking discovery for us both, and I never want it to have to happen to anyone else, ever. It was so unnecessary and preventable.
So please, check your home and make sure it is safe for them. Collars are really unnecessary inside, and can be deadly for them. So many things we never thought about can be.
Thanks for listening.

I vicariously revisited a neighborhood I once knew, reading how it appears these days in Michael Chabon's book "Telegraph Avenue." The esteemed 49-year-old Chabon lives in Berkeley and has written seven novels, including 2001's Pulitzer Prize for fiction, "The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay." Reading Chabon's words is a pleasure. Here's an example: "Like a hoard of family diamonds sewn into the hems and hidden pockets of an exile's cloak, Oakland was salted secretly with wonders, even here, at its fetid, half-rotten raggedy-ass end." "Telegraph Avenue" is a book I recommend to anyone who likes to read, is into music and who might know East Bay Area landmarks, including Mosswood Park, site of legendary playground basketball courts. Its critical acclaim even seems to have brought some good luck and ancillary civic pride. Since "Telegraph Avenue" was released in September, the A's won their division and the Warriors are having their best season since they had Rick Barry with his granny free throws. Enhanced throughout with esoteric music — mostly jazz — references, the story line follows the two families of Archy Stallings and Nat Jaffe, owners of a used vinyl store, Brokeland Records. The nation's fifth wealthiest African-American, former NFL quarterback Gibson Goode, ostensibly plans to boost his hometown's economy by building a five-story, 60,000-square-foot Dogpile music megastore two blocks away. It's a deeper plot than corporation vs. small business. Goode says his intentions are altruistic. He wants to redirect black music's "post-apocalyptic" paradigm with his music center. One of the most revered contemporary artists, RZA, he incredulously states, can't even play "a (blank) kazoo." "Telegraph Avenue" includes Quentin Tarantino's homage to blaxploitation and has a Pam Grier-like character from "Jackie Brown." There's also kung fu, comic books, analogies, metaphors and detailed addressing of delicate subjects like fatherhood, midwifery, racism, murder and bisexuality, all vividly described in Chabon's complex delivery. His mastery of description and dialogue sometimes goes far enough to make a reader cringe. But, mostly, Chabon makes him feel as if he is driving through the neighborhood listening to William DeVaughan's "Be Thankful for What You Got," with a left hand on the steering wheel doing the gangster lean, digging the scene, hoping to duck adversity that might be around the corner.

Embrace your inner film buff one bite at a time starting with one of this year's Best Picture nominees: Beasts of the Southern Wild. You'll take a trip to the bayous of Louisiana courtesy of Brooklyn's Nitehawk Cinema, which is serving up Oscar contender-inspired dishes to moviegoers in celebration of the film industry's biggest night.
Pair your po' boy and hush puppies with an adults-only beverage. (Yup, that means the movie's 9-year-old star (and youngest Best Actress nominee ever), Quvenzhané Wallis, couldn't quite indulge in this gin-based treat.)
Fried Oyster Po' Boy with Hush Puppies and a Spicy RemouladeServings: 4
20 shucked oysters, cleaned
2 cups buttermilk
Salt and pepper
1 cup all-purpose flour
3 tbsp. Old Bay seasoning
6 cups canola oil
Marinate oysters in buttermilk, salt and pepper for at least an hour. Mix flour with Old Bay. Heat canola oil in a pot large enough that the oil only fills it half way to 350ºF over medium heat. Use a candy thermometer to keep track of temperature. Remove oysters from buttermilk, dredge in seasoned flour, and fry in canola oil until crispy and golden brown. Season with salt when oysters are removed from the oil. Let oysters drain on paper towels. Serve on a toasted baguette. Cut into four pieces with hush puppies and remoulade. (See recipes below.)
Remoulade 4 oz. Dijon mustard
2 oz. ketchup
½ tsp. Worcestershire sauce
1 tsp. prepared horseradish
1 clove garlic
½ tsp. lemon juice
2 tsp. black pepper
¼ cup olive oil
1 stalk of celery, chopped
2 tbsp. parsley, cleaned and chopped
¼ Spanish onion, chopped
2 tbsp. paprika
2 dashes of Tabasco sauce
Pinch of cayenne pepper
Pinch of chili flake
Salt and pepper
Puree all items in a food processor until smooth. Season to taste.
Hush Puppies 2 scallions, chopped
¼ Spanish onion, diced
2 eggs
6 oz. buttermilk
4 oz. bacon fat
2 tbsp. baking soda
4 tbsp. baking powder
2 cups cornmeal
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 oz. sugar
1 tbsp. Old Bay seasoning
Salt and pepper
6 cups canola oil
Mix scallions, onion, baking soda, baking powder, cornmeal, flour, sugar, Old Bay, and salt and pepper well. In a small pot, melt bacon fat and set aside. Add the buttermilk and eggs into dry ingredients until incorporated, making sure not to over-mix. Slowly add in melted bacon fat. Let batter rest for 20 minutes. Over medium heat, pour the canola oil in a pot large enough that the oil only fills it halfway to 350ºF, using a candy thermometer to monitor temperature. Using a small cookie scoop, spoon batter into oil, making sure not to overcrowd the oil. Fry until golden and cooked through, about three to four minutes.
Wink's Bathtub GinMakes one cocktail
1.5 oz gin (recipe recommends Bulldog Gin)
¾ oz. Lillet Blanc
½ oz. crème de cacao liqueur
½ oz. fresh lemon juice
Add all ingredients to an ice-filled pint glass. Shake well and strain over fresh ice into a rocks glass.
The 85th annual Academy Awards will air live on Sunday, Feb. 24, on ABC from the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood.
