Lysosomal storage disorders (LSDs) are a group of more than 40 diseases. Each is caused by a genetic problem that results in the deficiency or malfunction of particular enzymes needed to remove waste material from cells. These waste molecules then accumulate, or are stored, in cell lysosomes (smaller compartments within the cells), disrupting cell function and causing a variety of symptoms. All LSDs are progressive, meaning that without treatment, they worsen over time. Enzyme replacement therapy is currently available to address the underlying cause of some LSDs.
Each LSD is caused by a different genetic problem and enzyme deficiency. Because these disorders are extremely rare – even the most common, Gaucher disease, only affects an estimated 10,000 people worldwide – it can be difficult to find information about them. Genzyme has several LSD treatments and is one of the world's leading authorities on LSDs. We produce a variety of materials, both in print and online, to educate the public about these rare but serious diseases.
Following are some more details about the LSDs that Genzyme currently treats.
aridosis I (MPS I)
Pompe Disease
Hunter Syndrome
Marked by abnormal, uncontrolled, and invasive cell growth, cancer can occur in almost any part of the body. Most cancers take the form of a tumor – a concentrated mass of cancer cells – but some, such as cancers of the blood, involve a diffuse spread of cancer cells.
Thyroid cancer is a tumor in the thyroid gland, which controls the body's metabolism. It can usually be successfully treated with surgery and/or radiation, but requires life-long monitoring because of the high incidence of recurrence; Genzyme has a product that assists with this monitoring. Hormone therapy is also necessary to replace the hormones that the removed thyroid gland no longer produces, as well as to aid in ongoing tests.

In 2014, the Pompe Registry recognized and celebrated an important milestone: the 10-year anniversary of the Registry.

LOCKPORT – Sixty small dogs were removed from a house in the Town of Lockport Saturday afternoon, the Niagara County Sheriff's Office said.
Deputies assisted by state police were summoned about 4:30 p.m. to the home on Royal Parkway to investigate a juvenile complaint, according to officials.
The homeowner – whose name was not released – was charged by the Lockport dog-control officer with harboring animals and the home was condemned by the town building inspector. The case is being handled by the SPCA of Niagara.
More charges are pending, officials said.

A vision of a sustainable South Africa
12 January 2010
by Halima Chande, UNV Programme Officer, Johannesburg
Limpopo Province, South Africa:
"We worked hard," said Halima Chande, one of the organizers. "But with work, songs, drama, local dances and a good lunch with drinks, it was not viewed as a social function by the young generation. I was so moved that after establishing almost one acre of orchard, these young people did not feel tired. One of them came to me and gave me her hand and said 'thank you for the party', promising to always be a volunteer and to keep the environment clean."
A coalition of Volunteer Serving Agencies (VSA) was formed for the purpose of organizing IVD and networking on volunteerism for peace and development in the future. The coalition is comprised of Voluntary Service Overseas (VSO), Japanese International Cooperation Organisation (JICA-JOVC), German Development Agency (DED), United Nations Volunteers (UNV) and a local NGO known as National Youth Development Outreach.
'Volunteering for our planet to preserve sustainable environment and a positive healthy life style' was the selected theme for the 2009 IVD. For us in South Africa and Africa in general, we must work together to reduce our emissions of greenhouse gases whilst not compromising the need to fast-track the much-needed economic growth and human development.
We also have to work together in dealing with disasters related with climate change and sharing experiences on how to deal with them. South Africa is already developing a national policy and building capacity in various spheres of government in order to address the challenges of climate change.
The VSA chose an activity that complemented the efforts of the global movement initiated to campaign on climate change. The activity was aimed at promoting climate change mitigation through establishment of carbon sinks and creation of awareness for the young generation and communities on factors leading to climate change and how to address them.
The Department of Basic Education and the Primary School Food and Nutrition project in Limpopo Province collaborated with VSA as the host of the celebrations. Rakgoadi Primary School, in the Ga-Matlala community, Sekhukhune District, Marble Hall municipality was chosen as a venue for the event. The chief of Ga-Matlala gave his blessings.
The school and the community volunteered to prepare holes for planting trees. Project officers supervised and facilitated the procurement of seedlings, tools and furnishing of the venue. The VSA supported the process of procurement of seedlings and other items as well as working with all stakeholders to ensure the smooth running of the IVD.
Everyone was free to participate in the IVD celebration. The event was honoured by the participation of the Acting Mayor of the Marble Hall municipality, representative of the Head of Department (HoD) of Education, the Councillors of the Marble Hall municipality, Director of Education at the Marble Hall municipality and Project officers for the Nutrition Project.
Other participants included: the residents of Ga-Matlala community; all the teachers and pupils of Rakgoadi Primary School; teachers and students from 12 other schools in Sekhukhune District; local and international volunteers serving in South Africa from all the VSA; and youths from the National Youth Development Outreach in Pretoria, Alexandra in Johannesburg Drama. Local school dance groups entertained the guests and advocated on climate change and HIV/AIDS.
The VSA agreed to carry out two main activities for commemoration of IVD. These encompassed planting of fruit trees in the school compound to establish an orchard and to raise more awareness on HIV/AIDS through drama. The main activities were superseded by presentations from the VSA, United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), Marble Hall Municipality and the Limpopo Department of Education.
The Director of Education in Sekhukhune District, Marble Hall municipality, was the master of ceremonies. She showed her appreciation of the event being held in the district. It was an eye opener and a day for learning about the power of volunteerism. She welcomed Ms Caroline Opinde, a volunteer to enlighten the audience on IVD celebration and the mandate of volunteers.
The audience was informed that volunteering is about providing services to others in the spirit of 'botho' and helping each other in good and difficult situations, as always done in the community. It is also about participating in networks of social activism around a cause. It values free will, commitment, engagement and solidarity.
The audience was further cautioned that though 'volunteerism" as a concept had existed amongst the communities over several decades; there is still a need to take new action to address global challenges, which affect human lives negatively.
The main challenges are climate change and the HIV/AIDS pandemic. Climate change results into manifestations such as drought, floods and diseases. These culminate into hunger and extreme poverty as well as loss of lives. All these cannot be ignored.
VSA thanked the Ga-Matlala community by leading the way to achieving sustainable development by volunteering for our planet.
Ms. Halima Chande, the UNV Programme Officer in South Africa, represented UNDP to enlighten the audience on effect of climate change on environment and welfare of the people.
Ms. Regina Mothata was pleased to be associated with the activities marking the annual commemoration of IVD. She said that people should embrace the spirit of volunteerism as it is done by VSA. She pointed out that recently at schools with feeding programmes, ladies from the surrounding communities volunteer to cook for the learners. These ladies work under the spirit of volunteerism just like the VSA. She elaborated on the role played by Home Base Care workers who are also working as volunteers.
This commemoration reminded South Africans of the responsibility that they have towards, not only to one another but also to the environment.
She wanted the audience to think of volunteering as giving up their time for the benefit of other people with the sole motive of uplifting their lives. She then thanked International Volunteers serving in South Africa and declared to be a volunteer and urged the audience to do the same
Councillor Seoka introduced the Acting Mayor Hon. Mohlamonyane. The Acting Mayor remarked on the challenges the communities are experiencing and urged the people to take part in volunteerism to tackle the challenges they experience in the communities.
Prior to planting of tree garden equipment were donated to the school by VSA/UNDP. Six thousand seedlings for various vegetables were also donated. All the participants including the guest of honour Hon. Mohlamonyane moved to the area where the tree planting activity was to take place within the school compound.
Here the community had prepared 100 stakes for planting fruit trees. The consensus from the committee was to plant 10 indigenous trees and 250 fruit trees. The participating school were to be provided with five seedlings to plant in their schools surrounding after this activity.
The Acting Mayor, Mr. Mohlamonyane and the representative of the Head of the Department of Education Ms. R.M Mothata planted the first tree and then all the other leaders, Volunteers and the Community followed suit. The tree planting activity was carried out by all the participants joyously and efficiently. Watering of the trees was also done.
The participants were entertained by theatre arts and traditional dancing groups. The drama groups were from NYDO and Alexandra while the traditional dance was displayed by the school pupils from Rakgoadi Primary school. One educator recited a poem to inspire youths on achieving a better life. The main theme was on tree planting for a better environment and on HIV/AIDS prevention.
The Alexander group demonstrated that there is a need to voluntarily test for HIV/AIDS and stay clear from the factors that could cause infection. Youths were inspired to have confidence in themselves and aspire to build their carriers. This entailed reading hard to pass matriculation exams and going to college.
The audience were moved by the presentations.
The pupils stressed the need to work and safeguard the environment while performing the local dance. Also the danger of AIDS killing the whole generation was a point brought forward for great attention.
At the end a representative for Kgosi thanked all the people that were present for their support and participation in this memorable function.
In general we the VSA were happy with the event and we have a task ahead of us to monitor the progress of the initiative and promote further community volunteerism for development. Our vision is to see a South Africa with sustainable environment. It will also be important to engage with stakeholders that were involved in the IVD to take forward the positive spin-offs of the event.

15 Behind the Scenes Photos That Ruin the Movie
#7. Russell from True Blood
True Blood, an empty soap opera masquerading as an HBO horror-dramedy, is about beautiful vampires and werewolves with inconsistent, vaguely Southern accents who take turns having sex with each other. (Very little else happens.) Russell Edgington was the only legitimately terrifying character, which might not sound appealing, but it's surprisingly refreshing in a show that's otherwise populated mostly by sexy monsters.
"busy. on set now. talk l8r. bein scary vampire lol."
How It Hurts the Show
Because that's the stupidest-looking thing in a show that deals almost exclusively in stupidity.
#6. Sweeney Todd from Sweeney Todd
Sweeney Todd is a musical about a heartbroken barber who decides to go on a murder spree to get revenge on the people who ruined his life. The people who stopped reading the sentence at the word "musical" would probably be really pissed if they knew what they missed.
How It Hurts the Movie
Because Sweeney Todd is supposed to be a terrifying and fearsome "demon barber," and here it looks like he's giving himself an awkward-guy pep talk while getting picked on.
"Don't listen to them. Just keeeep walking. Maybe their hair looks stupid. Did they ever think of that?"
#5. An Ewok from Star Wars (Return of the Jedi)
This isn't even the last one.
How It Hurts the Movie
Because AAAAHHHH! AAAAAHHHH THE EYES!
#4. Ryan Gosling in Some Upcoming Ryan Gosling Movie
Ryan Gosling stars as a tall and attractive sensitive-old-soul type who, despite being ultimately good at heart, occasionally needs to do some pretty rough things, but it's OK because he's doing it all for love.
This movie's not out yet and I have no idea what it's about, but I imagine Ryan Gosling will play a character who has that "across-the-aisle effect," where male viewers find him charming and likable enough that they don't even mind that their girlfriends will be thinking of Gosling when they have sex that night.
How It Hurts the Movie
At first, this might not even look like an on-set, out-of-context image. It could, for all we know, be a random still from a movie where Ryan Gosling just got his ass kicked, or got in a car accident, or whatever.
But, on closer inspection, assuming you weren't distracted by the brutality on Gosling's otherwise annoyingly symmetrical face, you probably noticed the random PA desperately trying to hand him coffee.
I would be thrilled if this weren't a shot from a movie and was instead just a random paparazzi shot from Gosling's life. Not that I want any harm to come to Ryan Gosling -- watching his movies with a date is almost a guaranteed gateway to sex. I saw a lot of action in high school by inviting girls over to watch ... one of his older movies, I forget (Apt Pupil?). But I'd love it if this were just a spy shot from real life. Like he's just leaving a car accident, he can barely see, but he's got just the best assistant on the planet, sprinting after him with coffee just the way he likes it.
Yahoo Movies
"Mr. Gosling, it's organic and just the way you like it. Do you want me to call the hospital now? Mr. Gosling? Mr. Gosling? I got your coffee! MR. GOOOOOOOSLING!
[Special thanks to Dan Smith for sending the picture along.]
#3. Everyone from Star Wars (The Phantom Menace)
In Multiplicity, Michael Keaton clones himself, and every time a clone is made of another clone, the new clone is dumber and more damaged and less like the original. Phantom Menace is the retarded fourth clone of Star Wars.
How It Hurts the Movie
Poor Ewan McGregor. No one told him how terrible these movies were going to be. Look at him. He's the only one who doesn't know. Even R2 is like "Beep boop, horseshit script, boop, whistle."
#2. Lincoln from Steven Spielberg's Abraham Lincoln Movie
Conversation I prefer to imagine taking place:
Spielberg: Did you see Jaws?
Lincoln: Well, I'm afraid I wasn't born. Further, were I alive, I imagine I'd be far too preoccupied with the Emancipation Proclamation, or healing our wounded nation.
Spielberg: Uh huh ... but, definitely "no" on Jaws? Not even on TNT or something? Huh.
How It Hurts the Movie
Steven Spielberg wasn't around when Lincoln was president. I don't think, anyway, though I don't claim to know everything about presidents (just how to fight them).
Here, it looks like Spielberg is some pushy, rich big shot trying to convince a reluctant Lincoln to let the young, embarrassed soldier beside him join the army. "C'mon," Spielberg seems to be saying, "the kid's my nephew, and he's great at fighting. You'll love him. You'll love him. Do this for me. As a favor."
#1. The Faun from Pan's Labyrinth
I've never seen Pan's Labyrinth. I am choosing to believe the below picture is actually part of the movie.
How It Hurts the Movie
It doesn't, really. It's actually just the best advertisement for Coca-Cola and shredded chicken I've ever seen in my entire life.
[Special thanks to M. Asher Cantrell for sending the picture along, and of course to Reddit.]
Daniel O'Brien is Cracked.com's senior writer (ladies) and desperately wants to film his Leia/C-3PO fan fiction (robot ladies).

I never saw who shot me in the face. It could have been one of the 10-year-olds swarming around the corner of the paint-splattered building. Maybe it was the pony-tailed young lady who later in the day I would see shoot a man three times in the chest at close range.
Most likely, it was one of the mid-20s guys lurking in the back of the fray, expertly sniping the battlefield with rapid-fire streams of paintballs while calmly, coolly slipping in and out of cover.
Whoever it was, he or she nailed me the second I poked my head above the short wall I had been crouching behind.
The paintball smacked my protective facemask at about 250 feet per second. Orange gunk exploded all over the glass-like panel shielding my eyes, completely obscuring my vision.
I raised my hand, stood up and scurried out of the roped-in field of play. My very first paintball experience lasted about 30 seconds. I never stood a chance.
The game went on for another five or 10 minutes, with me watching from the sidelines while my hands shook from the adrenaline rush. I gawked at a surreal scene: Part "Lord of the Flies," part "Blackhawk Down" and very much like a living video game.
I went on to play a few more contests that sunny March afternoon, firing 500 rounds as we war-gamed through the woods, fields and mock towns at Paintball Charleston, a 57-acre site off Cross County Road in North Charleston.
My favorite game played out in a hilly, heavily wooded area. My team, consisting of about 35 men, women and children I'd never met before, swarmed through the woods trying to capture a flag positioned near a small "fort."
The other team worked through the woods from the opposite direction, dead-set on capturing the same flag. We met in the middle, and the air soon sizzled with thousands of neon-colored paintballs zipping through.
I hung on this time until the end, maintaining good cover and firing more effectively. I even popped an opponent trying to hide behind a tree (yeah, I got you). In the end, as the game's referee counted down the seconds remaining in the competition, I jumped up from behind a log and charged a nearby group of "enemy" paintballers. It was a suicide mission, but something I'd seen in countless movies, so it had to be done.
Dat-dat-dat-dat! They mowed me down, splattering paint across my hip, thigh and even my foot. The hits, even at that range, registered little more than a sting.
When the horn blew, we all made our way back to the common area, where we could take off our protective gear and relive the experience.
More than 100 people milled about, chatting in groups, cleaning off paint hits and reloading their "markers," or paintball guns.
The group contained a mix of adults and kids, more than few families, at least one business group and quite a few obvious fanatics, youngish men and women in specialized gear sporting their own high-tech markers.
After about 15 minutes, it was time to rally again, assemble teams and head back out for another round.
Tim Dake, co-owner of Paintball Charleston, said his company hosts players ranging from 10 to 72 years old. They come in family, corporate and church groups, even bachelor and bachelorette parties. Solo players can walk on at any time of the day and join new games.
Staffers hold mandatory safety briefings, and all paintball markers, rented or otherwise, are tested to make sure that players in the same game launch the little gelatin-coated balls at the same safe speed. The muzzle velocity can be adjusted up or down for special groups.
"We've had birthday parties for 10-year-old girls," Dake said. "So if they can handle it, anybody can handle it."
It costs $10 to play as long as one wants, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Players can rent essentials such as gun, hopper, safety mask and CO2 canister for another $10.
"Paintballs are the big consumables, obviously," Dake said. "It depends on the player. Some will shoot 2,000 in a day, some will shoot 200."
Fifteen bucks buys 500 paintballs, for $45 you get 2,000.
Players should wear "clothing suitable for yard work," Dake said, along with boots or shoes that offer ankle support. Players can wear extra layers to protect against the sting of a paintball hit, but most who try end up shedding the layers to cool down, Dake said.
The "paint" used at Paintball Charleston is water-soluble and washes clean. "It's not like house paint," Dake said. "It's more like Jello."
Sure — Jello moving at more than 250 feet per second.

Wednesday, April 3, 2013
It's formally known as the Lowcountry Sportsman's Challenge.
But it's really event organizer Mark Flory and 31 buddies battling for some bragging rights. And it's those friendships that have kept the challenges going strong for 15 years.
The second one in the Lowcountry will be held Friday and Saturday in the Goose Creek area. Darts, bowling, golf, pool and horseshoes are the five sports Flory has found works best for everybody involved.
Flory and friends have been doing the challenges in Florida since the late 1990s and the group has plans to organize one in the Nashville area next year.
He has lived in the Sunshine State most of his life after graduating from Stall High School in 1978 and Baptist College in 1983 but has plenty of old friends here.
"We had a group coming down from South Carolina and we thought about having one here," said Flory, who is assisted by Goose Creek native Frank Waters in organizing the local challenge. "All of my family is right there in Goose Creek. I still call Goose Creek my home."
A year ago, 16 participants competed in the inaugural local Challenge and it was won by Crowfield resident Duane Huggins. Huggins competed in six Challenges in Florida before finally winning one last year.
"I don't remember ever really being in the running to win one until last year," he said.
The Challenge is as much about the luck of the draw as it is individual skill. In four of the five events, there is a blind draw to match up partners. So, while one may be the best golfer of the bunch they could get paired up with someone who hasn't pulled the clubs out of the closet in a decade. Partners get the same amount of points for their finishes in the events.
"Your partner has to hold up their end of the bargain," said Huggins, who was on the winning team in darts and horseshoes last year.
Huggins admits he got a lot of help in horseshoes.
"He threw quite a few ringers," Huggins said of his partner in 2012.
The final event has a twist it's own too. The top 16 sportsmen in the standings will be matched up with somebody from the lower half of the standings as their horseshoe partner.
"With 32 players this year, it's going to be more of a challenge," Huggins said.
Huggins has been working off the rust in recent weeks. He will be joined in this year's Challenge by both of his sons, including one that will fly in from St. Louis. In all, 19 Lowcountry sportsmen will vie for the Challenge crown.
"It's more about fun but of course everybody wants to win," Huggins said.
The Challenge starts with darts on Friday night at 7 at Moonshine Saloon on Myers Road and then moves to Shore Lanes for bowling.
On Saturday morning, Oaks Country Club will be the site for nine holes of golf, followed by pool at 1 p.m. at Bruce's Bar and Grill. It concludes with horseshoes at 317 Koontz Place in Moncks Corner, the home of horseshoe pitching pro Bob Koontz.
"A lot of good friendships have been made in this thing over the years," Flory said. "… We've got some young people, like 21 and 22, all the way up to 70 years old."
Flory's longtime friend Keith Hurley, from Cocoa Beach, Fla., has won four of the challenges.
"I'm sure he's coming up there to try to bring (the trophy) back home with him," Flory said.
Flory said he would be more than happy to offer advice to anybody wanting to start their own challenges. For more information, contact Flory at firstname.lastname@example.com.

10 point maturity scale for open source in business
How open source is your business / team / developer?
Jonathan Schwartz once wrote (in a blog that has now been deleted) about how they were in talks with an organization (he did not reveal the name, but no prizes for guessing) who contented they have a solid database and their developers have no need to use an open source database.
Schwartz's team pulled up their MySQL web server logs to show loads of download requests it received from the organization's IP range. The point is, an organization in the business of developing proprietary software cannot say they do not need or have nothing to do with open source. May not be as a strategic decision, the developers do need and use open source software and tools in their day-to-day work.
For me, I touch 10 or more open source software or tools in one work hour and have 50 or so installed on my work station. Many other developers are in a similar situation, thus can organizations today claim ignorance or apathy towards open source?
Use this progressive 10-point maturity scale to see how your organization measures up:
- Developers don't get much outside feedback or try new things. They work with software like they always have.
- Developers and project managers have heard of open source and may revere it, but are not allowed to use it.
- Some employees organize talks on open source, make some noise, but that's about it.
- Developers use open source, but because it is not 'as per policy' further innovation and/or use is not discussed.
- Developers have an open source policy for use, but it's strict.
- Developers actively use open source, policy or not, and maintain an internal directory of useful projects.
- Organization has well-documented guidelines for evaluating open source licenses and software that explains to developers how to choose the right projects.
- Open source is default and developers are encouraged to contribute back.
- Developers are given time to work on open source projects.
- The organization sponsors and maintains at least one open source project.
Where do you rank? Most organizations fall between #4 and #5. Is that enough?

If our little company was big enough for a dev or 2, we'd be a 10. For now, its about advocacy and using where possible.
Surprisingly we're at about a 8.5. Not too bad, could be better. This would have made a nice poll.
I hope that 7 becomes the norm. Anything more is impressive at this time.
I have been using open source and free (libre) software since 1992. My organization is 100% open source and free (libre) software for day-to-day tasks and development tasks and research.
11. You trust in Open Source to depend on it for your living, to keep your kids clothed and fed, and to have hundreds of thousands of people around the world who trust in your OS software …
That would be us at MODX. We go to 11. ;)

According to court documents, the alleged victim reported the abuse began when she was 5 years old and lasted through this past May.
Loner was interviewed by police after waiving and signing a Miranda warning and denied abusing the juvenile, court documents indicate.
Loner remains incarcerated in the Mifflin County Correctional Facility in lieu of $100,000 bail.
A preliminary hearing has not yet been scheduled.

Tyrone Stanley, no age listed, of West Delavan Avenue, was arrested on reckless endangerment and harassment charges Sunday, hours after he allegedly tailgated and frightened a Congress Street woman driver and her passenger by following her up and down city streets, Buffalo police said.
The woman told officers that at one point during the midday incident, Stanley made a gesture with his fingers like he was shooting at her.
The woman told officers he began pulling up close behind her car after accelerating and almost slamming into the rear bumper of her vehicle "multiple times" until she managed to get away from him.

Cutler Institute for Health and Social Policy
Annual Juvenile Recidivism Report
Cutler Institute awarded $600,000 to help youth raised in foster system
USM's Cutler Institute for Health and Social Policy has been awarded a $600,000 grant to help young people raised in Maine's foster system to prepare for college and the workforce.
The money comes from the Annie E. Casey Foundation as part of a $5.4 million national effort aimed at youth who are homeless or in either the foster care or juvenile justice systems.
"Many of these young people have suffered abuse or trauma and were raised in poverty and neglect," said Marty Zanghi, the Cutler Center's youth development director.
The money -- including an expected $400,000 more in matching funds -- will pay for contracted work with agencies in the target areas, starting with the greater Portland area and Penobscot, Kennebec and Somerset counties.
Nationally and in Maine, only about 3 percent of people who grow up in the foster care system achieve a college degree, he said.
"It's dramatically lower than the rate for the general population," Zanghi said. "It's a horrible outcome."
It doesn't have to be that way, though.
"There are young people that overcome these circumstances," he said. "I know people who have master's degrees and Ph.Ds."
The Casey Foundation's national effort is being called the "Learn and Earn to Achieve Potential" (LEAP) initiative.
The initiative is working on partnerships in Maine and nine other areas: Alaska, Arizona, California, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Nebraska and New York. In each case, people will adapt two evidence-based models to meet the needs of these youth, including support to address the trauma they may have experienced in their lives.
In Maine, the work will include a pair of successful programs, Jobs for Maine Graduates (JMG) and Jobs for the Future. Results will be carefully tracked, Zanghi said.
After the first year, the program is expected to grow.
"Eventually, the additional help will be available to all children, 14 and over, in the foster care system in the state of Maine," Zanghi said.

CBS-TV Chicago, the Chicago Tribune and the Chicago Sun-Times are all reporting that two young high school students in Chicago were murdered by gun violence on the same day of President Obama's visit here.
First, Frances Colon, 18, was a senior at Roberto Clemente High School on Chicago's West Side. She is the third Clemente student killed in recent months. Frances was killed just hours after President Obama spoke Friday at Hyde Park Academy in response to the murder of honor student Hadiya Pendleton in January.
Frances' father, Jose, appeared at Clemente High School today and tied balloons around a flagpole in front of the school in remembrance of his daughter. He recalled Friday President Obama's recent visit, indicating that he and Frances actually heard and saw Obama's Marine One helicopter fly overhead in route to Hyde Park Academy last Friday.
A few hours later, Frances Colon was dead.
While tying the balloons to the flagpole, he said that it was at this time every morning when he brought her to school. Today – alone – he broke down in uncontrollable tears.
The details, as reported by CBS:
On Friday night, Frances Colon was shot in the back as she left a store in the Chicago neigborhood known as Humboldt Park with friends.
Police say that she, of course, was not the "intended target." Her father said that she exited the store with a bag of candy and snacks. An unknown gunman approached and began firing indiscriminately into the group of kids.
"This is outrageous, too many guns out here man," Jose Colon said. "These young kids have no aim, shooting all crazy. They hit innocent bystanders, people who want to do something for themselves, for their lives. My daughter was going to become a lawyer."
"She's a really awesome friend, and I am going to miss her," said Holly Franklin, a senior at Clemente.
Senior Victoria Santiago said: "She was really bubbly, always goofing off with people. She was always really good at drawing. I admired her for all her drawings. It's hard really, hard to go through something like this."
Jose Colon appealed directly to the murderer of his child: "You have to stop. You're hitting young innocent kids. You're wrong, man, turn yourself in!"
Mayor Rahm Emanuel made the by now obligatory (and far too routine) call to the Colon family on Sunday morning and offered his and the city's condolences.
Frances Colon had been accepted by Northeastern University and was planning to enroll this fall, the CBS report concluded.
Incredibly, in a second murder on Friday, another 18-year-old Chicago woman was shot and killed after her sister had sat on the stage behind President Barack Obama at Hyde Park Career Academy as he spoke of Hadiya's murder and pushed for gun control legislation.
Janay Mcfarlane was shot once in the head around 11:30 p.m. Friday in North Chicago, Lake County Coroner Thomas Rudd told the Chicago Sun-Times. Mcfarlane was the mother of a 3-month-old boy, and was in the Chicago suburb visiting friends and family.
North Chicago police are questioning two people in connection with Mcfarlane's death, but at this writing, no charges have been filed.
"I really feel like somebody cut a part of my heart out," Angela Blakely, Mcfarlane's mother, said in various media reports.
Blakely said that Mcfarlane was not the "intended target."
Mcfarlane's 14-year-old sister stood only feet from President Obama at Hyde Park Career Academy, where he spoke about gun violence and paid tribute to Hadiya Pendleton.
Blakely told the Tribune that Janay Mcfarlane had been deeply affected by Pendleton's death.
"She always said after Hadiya Pendleton got killed, 'Momma that's so sad,'" Blakely said. "She was always touched by any kid that got killed. She was always touched by mothers who couldn't be there for their babies because they were gone."
Mcfarlane was scheduled to graduate from an alternative school this spring, Blakely said, and hoped to begin a career in the culinary arts.
"I'm just really, truly just trying to process it — knowing that I'm not taking my baby home anymore," Blakely said.
It seems that President Obama's presence in Chicago on Friday did not have the desired affect, after all. As noted, these young women were murdered on the very same day that Obama showed up in remembrance of a now third murder (Hadiya's) one mile from his Hyde Park neighborhood home.
Yes, but he made a nice speech, a moving speech. His wife's presence at Hadiya's funeral was also appreciated by all involved.
But let's also remember that President Obama was shamed into coming to Chicago. We were not on his itinerary until the rumblings and grumblings about his apparent lack of concern for black "inner city" youth reached the boiling point.
And, as usual, all that he did here is make a speech. He did not come bearing any "Executive Actions" that would surely put an immediate end to this carnage. I have listed elsewhere on Allvoices.com what I think he could do right now, and without having to go through a recalcitrant congress, to stop the violence.
Instead, "it is what it is." What we get – and will continue to get from this president – is "symbolism over substance" rather than concrete, reality-based programs and efforts to put these gangbangers out of business, permanently.

STATELINE, Nev. - Inspiration can't be spelled without Iration, a reggae band which is feeling mighty irie these days.
Comprised of surfers from Hawaii who started a band while attending UC Santa Barbara, Iration has gone from playing house parties to opening for other bands on 1,000-mile tours to becoming a headlining band at reggae festivals.
Success makes life easier on the road. Iration now rents a full-size tour bus which hauls a trailer with the gear. It has a traveling sound engineer, Joseph King, and the band now performs with ear monitors instead of having to listen through the amps. And special lighting effects have been added for its current five-week tour, which includes several resort towns such as South Lake Tahoe on Friday, Feb. 15.
"I am thinking this tour should be our best ever with the set list and all the other production things we've added," bassist Adam Taylor told Lake Tahoe Action just before the final rehearsal before the road trip. "We definitely love the winter tours where we get to some of the ski towns. We all like to go snowboarding and Lake Tahoe is definitely one of our favorite places. We're all from Hawaii and it's just a real treat to be in the mountains. The MontBleu is right next to Heavenly, where we like to go, and we also really like Kirkwood."
Iration last March 24 headlined Kirkwood's High Up Fest, where it performed beside space heaters wearing layers of clothes, beanies all the while tuning instruments in cold conditions. But the backdrop was ski slopes the guys rode for two days.
"That was one of my favorite shows of the year," Taylor said. "When we're on tour I definitely tone it down quite a bit just to make sure that I don't get injured. But it's cool to do an activity before a show to get some energy out and get your head in a good place and snowboarding, especially up there, is a good way to start your day."
The four bands at the MontBleu still will deliver myriad takes on reggae. Passafire is rock, the Green roots-rock and Pacific Dub California reggae. Iration's inspiration is island music.
"We try to take the fundamentals of reggae and just give it a modern twist," Taylor said. "A lot of the lot of the old-school reggae we listen to - Bob Marley, Black Uhuru and Steel Pulse - the issues kids can't really identify with. They love the music so what we try to do is incorporate a more modern sound and also talk about things these kids can relate to."
Singer-guitarist Micah Pueschel described Iration's sound to Lake Tahoe Action in 2011: "Island music is just part of who we are and where we come from, so there's a vibe to the music that has that flavor to it. We don't necessarily play island music, but it ends up having that sunny island vibe to it.
"(It's) reggae with pop sensibility. Reggae rock is what people in the genre (call it). Our sound is really pop with reggae base."
Iration recently recorded its third full length album and released a single, "Porcupine." The album will come out after the tour, but some of its songs will be played during the live shows, Taylor said.
Also in Iration are Cayson Peterson, keyboards, Joseph Dickens, drums and Kai Rediske, vocals and percussion.

quote: Lastly for this category, Apple proposes to add the Jelly Bean operating system to its claims. The Jelly Bean operating system is the new version of the Google Android system that is used on all Samsung mobile devices, including those named by Apple in this suit. The Jelly Bean operating system was first released in July 2012.As the moving party, Apple bears the burden of showing that it "acted with diligence in promptly moving to amend when new evidence is revealed." Apple fails to do so. Apple merely alleges in one paragraph of its October 5 motion that the Jelly Bean was released in July 2012, and inclusion of the system "will not increase the number of claims asserted or introduce any new infringement theories."This is insufficient to show diligence for making a substantial change to the infringement contentions.Turning to the question of prejudice, it is problematic that Apple makes no reference in its initial briefing to the infringement theories or patent claims it wishes to charge against Jelly Bean. Samsung would be prejudiced by the lack of specificity in Apple's proposed amendment because it will not have notice to the claims it must defend against. Moreover, as Samsung correctly noted, such an amendment would be overbroad and may sweep any number of Samsung devices using the Jelly Bean operating system into this suit. The Jelly Bean operating system is used on numerous Samsung devices. Samsung also does not have any design control over the content of Jelly Bean as it is a Google Android product that Samsung itself did not develop. The court will not permit a sweeping amendment that might apply to devices other than those properly tied to Samsung. The court will allow this proposed amendment, but only as to the Jelly Bean product Apple has specified: the Galaxy Nexus.

The Ignacio High School boys basketball team made it a clean sweep at the San Juan Basin League Tournament on Saturday in Cortez:
One SJBL Tournament championship for the Ignacio Bobcats� girls.
One SJBL Tournament championship for the Ignacio Bobcats� boys.
Ignacio put up matching 20-point quarters in the first and second frames to build a 40-28 halftime lead on No. 1 seed Dolores, then finished off the Bears for a 68-51 victory in the conference championship game.
Kelton Richmond had 17 points for IHS, while Adison Jones had 15 points and nine rebounds. Wyatt Hayes chipped in 13 for the Bobcats.
�One thing I noticed about my team is they had a lot more intensity, a lot more spirit and envergy than they usually have,� Ignacio head coach Chris Valdez said. �We just kind of show up to the game, go on the court, play and walk back to the locker room � the emotion doesn�t change much, but (Saturday) we saw a different side of them.�
Ignacio (18-5, 8-2 SJBL), on the merits of its district championship, will host regionals next weekend at Durango High School. Details of the Class 2A regional tournament will be released today.

An awesome Mexican fast-food restaurant. Everything is extremely fresh, and you monitor the making of your food, and decide what goes in or out. They have good burritos, tacos, quesadillas, nachos, tortilla soup, and taco salad.
I eat Qdoba whenever I get the chance to. Unfortunately, I don't get many chances to.

No discussion of Argentina can begin without first addressing the near total collapse of the Argentinean market in 2002. That year, the market collapsed by approximately 70%, sending the country reeling. Yet in the last eight years, Argentina has made strides to recover, and it is once again becoming an attractive market for foreign pharmaceutical companies.
The pharmaceutical market in Argentina has had double-digit growth over the last few years, buoyed primarily by branded products. That being said, with the introduction of a formal price-cutting regulation by the Argentine government in November of last year, this growth rate is likely to slow in the near future. Moreover, in the pharmaceutical sector, Argentina is experiencing a trade deficit, with domestic manufacturers having a surplus while foreign companies are at a substantial deficit.
Although the government in Argentina has expressed an interest in increasing access to pharmaceuticals, a number of challenges still plague the country. For example, copycat products have had significant dominance in the pharmaceutical industry, and the country offers minimal intellectual property rights protection. Additionally, how much the pharmaceutical market is likely to grow in the future will in part depend on how stable the Argentine economy will remain in general.
Long before the economic crisis hit Argentina in 2002, the Argentine government had begun to institute measures aimed at the deregulation of the pharmaceutical market, such as reducing distribution barriers, freeing drug prices, and strengthening intellectual property rights.
These governmental actions had the desired effect, and many foreign pharmaceutical companies entered the Argentine market. However, following the economic crisis, a majority of international pharmaceutical companies had to sell their local assets in Argentina, most of which became acquired by domestic drug companies. This changed the nature and makeup of the Argentine pharmaceutical industry.
Currently, there are approximately 109 pharmaceutical manufacturers operating in Argentina. Of these, 90 are domestic companies and only 19 are foreign firms. The pharmaceutical market is further characterized by the role of generics in Argentina's pharmaceutical market. After the economic crisis hit the country, the generics market in Argentina grew substantially.
In recent years, however, this growth has slowed but has still remained an important sector in the Argentine pharmaceutical industry, even as branded drug products have begun to recover. For instance, in 2001, generic drug products made up 15.85% of the pharmaceutical market in Argentina (in volume). In the years following the economic crisis, this number climbed to 24% in 2005, encroaching on the market share of many branded drug products. Currently, Argentina's pharmaceutical market is roughly made up of 15% generics.
Since its recovery in the aftermath of the economic crisis, Argentina's pharmaceutical market has grown steadily, now positioned as the third-largest pharmaceutical market in Latin America (just behind Mexico and Brazil). Today, overall sales of pharmaceutical products in Argentina stand at approximately $2.8 billion, and the economy in general has been making a comeback. Nevertheless, certain regulatory changes are potentially on the horizon in Argentina. The Argentine government is rumored to be taking under consideration the implementation of a new minimal local manufacturing requirement for pharmaceuticals.
Such a measure would certainly have significant impact on international pharmaceutical companies operating in Argentina. The possible regulation would serve to protect the domestic drug industry, since foreign firms would have to license drug production to local firms if they did not have their own domestic facilities. That being said this regulation has yet to be implemented in Argentina. Moreover, such a requirement already exists in both Brazil and Mexico, so the perceived effect on foreign drug manufacturers may not, in fact, be so substantial.
Together with Brazil, Mexico, and Columbia, the three countries discussed in this article represent a large and important region for the pharmaceutical sector. The pharmaceutical markets in each of these countries have gone through a series of transitions in recent years, and their regulatory development is still continuing. During these growing pains, there are some challenges that a foreign drug manufacturer must be aware of in order to effectively navigate the shifting regulatory and economic terrain in these countries.
Although obstacles abound, there are many opportunities in Chile, Peru, and Argentina that international pharmaceutical companies can capitalize on as the markets there mature and evolve. To the extent that new regulations, stronger intellectual property rights enforcement, and other government efforts continue to take place, the attractiveness of the pharmaceutical markets in Latin America in general, and in these countries in particular, will continue to grow. In the current state of the pharmaceutical industry, foreign pharmaceutical companies will continue to be drawn to this region.

Internet fad created by "Invisible Children" in order to generate money and make Twitter users feel better about themselves.

A campaign by Invisible Children Inc with the intention of making as much money for its founders as possible: otherwise known as a "scam." Last year Invisible Children pocketed over $5,000,000 (not counting salaries) and only gave 24% of their revenue to African countries. This year, with the widespread familiarity of their new viral video "Kony 2012," will bring even MORE profits to the fraud charity's owners.

The ultimate dickriding bandwagon experience. This is even worse than the dickriding of Haiti 2010 or Obama 2008. The concept of KONY 2012 is to raise awareness about a Ugandan war criminal named Joseph Kony. The white liberals seek to cure their white liberal guilt and satisfy their self-righteous selves by posting stickers, sending videos, etc about Joseph Kony. They are oblivious to the fact that the current problems in that region stem primarily from western imperialism and colonialism and so are unable to see the silliness and stupidity of asking the institutions who murdered, raped, pillaged the people of africa to now come and save the day. White liberals must understand that the white nations really have no moral authority to send their armies into the lands of Africa. The slavery mentality that black people will never get ahead or achieve anything valid unless white people help is what is keeping the black man in a state of decline.
My friend - "Why are all these white suburban high school kids wearing KONY 2012 shirts"
Me - "Because they want the government to help the Ugandan military kill war criminals"
My friend - "You mean they want white western nations to train Africans on how to kill other Africans"
Me - "Yes, exactly what it is"

An annoying documentary on Joesph Kony by Jason Russell (who is also the founder of the Invisible Children Organization) that went viral in March 2012 on every social networking website. Joesph Kony is a warlord in Uganda who abducts children, forces them to kill their parents and serve his army. Jason Russell and his supporters want to make Kony famous in order to make the US armed forces go to Uganda and arrest him by gaining support from members of US congress and celebrities. The whole thing is very annoying. What Kony is doing is definitely a crime against humanity, however why should the US armed forces be bugged about this? Last time we checked the US armed forces were a group of soldiers to eliminate THREATS not a group of mercenaries that will kill anybody that others don't like. We have sent 100 troops to Uganda however they are inactive once they get there. Honestly if these people want Kony dead so bad Jason Russell and his supporters should have a fundraiser, go to Uganda, by cheap AK and AKM type rifles from a local dealer and hunt him down themselves. You are not fighting a war by bugging others to fight it for you. Quit bugging the US military for everything they're not a commissioning service. The supporters should also stop bashing anybody who does not care about the situation as it is not mandatory. The activism for a good cause but has terrible demands.
Person1:Did you get a kony 2012 video on your wall?
Person2: Yeah, those idiots think they're helping by liking the video and bashing anybody who does not want to get involved.
Person1: I don't want to live on this planet anymore.

A stupid campaign made by the controversial organization, Invisible Children, urging people to share some 30 minute long video that will somehow make Joseph Kony, a criminal in Africa, "famous." They clearly don't realize that the word they were looking for was "infamous," or that Mr. Kony hasn't even been very active for years now. One of the central figures in the organization, Jason Russell, had a public, drunk, naked melt down two weeks after this. Apparently it was just too much success.
Person who does no research: Yeah, KONY 2012! Save the Africans!
Person who does research: Good luck with that, idiot.

Your Take: Could You Live Off Food Stamps?
|Email Print
Sean Callebs will try and he's documenting the whole experience on CNN. This is a little more realistic than the $1 a day meal experiment, which was more about publicity than reality. What I find most interesting about Callebs' reports is the insight it gives him and his readers. "… it stinks being hungry when you go to sleep." (Feb 13th) How many people go to sleep hungry? I probably have only a handful of times in my life and it was mostly because of scheduling, not because I couldn't afford it. I think that unless you have lived it, you can't faithfully criticize.
Much like when I talked about living on minimum wage, it's difficult to understand the lifestyle until you try to live it. For some, the thought of food stamps invokes the image of someone on welfare spending it on cigarettes and alcohol. For others, it's seeing a bright light when you're lost in the woods at midnight. Regardless of how you feel about food stamps, the majority of people who get food stamps need them. They're not living the good life financially, sipping a Mai-tai on the beach; they're struggling.
I find myself struggling with the idea of handouts because I believe, especially in America, you can, through hard work and determination, succeed regardless of where you start. Food stamps and welfare, while necessary, will give some a reason not to work as hard and I recognize that; but I think you have to accept those who will take advantage of the system if you want to help those who just need a little bit extra to get them over the hump.
What are your thoughts on food stamps and other welfare programs?

Humane Society joins federal lawsuit in Fort Worth in attempt to stop abuse of show horses
Horse racing has long been plagued by cheats who use performance enhancing drugsto try to win.
But cheating — through the illegal abuse of horses — is also apparently a factor in show horse competitions, according to a federal lawsuit filed in June in Fort Worth.
In the suit, the show horse industry is trying to block new federal regulations that aim to crack down on cheats who harm horses in an attempt to win shows in Tennessee.
A plaintiff in the suit is Mike McGartland, a Tarrant County resident who owns Contender Farms. McGartland owns and exhibits show horses, according to the lawsuit.
Tennessee show horses have a distinctive high-stepping gait, which industry leaders say is achieved through proper breeding, training and practice. But cheaters have tried to win shows by illegally injuring horses' legs to get them to high step. The technique, which uses harmful chemicals and other methods, is called "soring."
Such practices are illegal under the 1976 Horse Protection Act (HPA).
In June, the U.S. Department of Agriculture passed a new mandatory suspension rule that prevents anyone found to have sored a horse from competing in any shows in the U.S.
The show horse industry says in the lawsuit that it deters the practice with various rulebook penalties. It claims the new rule is unconstitutional.
The Humane Society of the United States said Friday it has joined the lawsuit and is asking the court to uphold the federal regulations.

In this interview, Anders Hauge, a Program Manager on the Azure tools team, shows us how the new Web Deployment feature along with Remote Desktop allows you to incrementally publish your web applications to the Azure cloud. This means that you can make updates to your already deployed web apps with just the changes onto the same running instance, which greatly accelerates the process of deploying updates while debugging your cloud-based web applications. Make sure to watch as Anders (humorously) goes into the details of how it works and what the limitations are.
This new feature is available in the Azure SDK 1.4.1 refresh which you can install via the Web Platform Installer.
For more information see the Windows Azure news from MIX 11.
Beth Massi, Visual Studio Community
Oops, something didn't work.
This is awesome! I have been waiting to be able to deploy in a much more timely manner and now I finally can! I look forward to what new features are still yet to come. Thanks.
You can read this blog post for more information about enabling and troubleshooting web deploy for azure developers:
Awesome video Anders!
Cool! But now we need something similar for WorkerRoles too!
People, don't get too excited. You can't use this for production. Only for development on a single instance.
Good and so simple for development....
WOW!! You appreciate it a lot more when you have been waiting 20 minutes for several times to make some trivial updates. Once again.. Awesome!

MORGANTOWN - Dana Holgorsen knew things would get tougher for his West Virginia University football players when they made their debut run through the Big 12 Conference gamut, but he said things get even tougher when everybody isn't on the same page.
"We have to play together," he said. "From a call standpoint, we're playing with nine or 10 a lot, and we're playing with nine or 10 from an effort standpoint. If you have eight or nine that are playing with tremendous effort and one or two who aren't, then you're playing with eight or nine."
Offensive lineman Jeff Braun said that was glaring as the players watched the film from last weekend's double overtime loss to Texas Christian.

West Virginia and quarterback Geno Smith, right, will look to snap the Mountaineers' three-game losing streak Saturday at Oklahoma State.
"You can have four guys blocking their butts off and trying to finish the job, but then one guy doesn't
do it," Braun said. "That can ruin the play. That is the biggest difference in college football. You need to have all five offensive linemen working as a cohesive unit. If not, then you aren't going to get anywhere."
WVU will try to regain that mentality and effort that allowed it to open the season with five straight victories. But in the past month, the Mountaineers have dropped three straight for the first time since 2004 and have fallen from being ranked No. 4 in the nation to being completely out of the polls.
WVU, 5-3 overall and 2-3 in the Big 12, has not lost four straight games since 2001 when it finished 3-8 under first-year coach Rich Rodriguez.
"We just have to keep getting better in practice," linebacker Isaiah Bruce said. "We need to keep going over the little things in practice and make sure we are doing our jobs."
The Mountaineers take on Oklahoma State, 5-3 overall and 3-2 in the conference, at 3:30 p.m. Saturday in a game that will be televised by ABC.
The Cowboys are coming off a loss to Kansas State last week, and they have also experienced their ups and downs this fall.
"Good teams aren't going to make mistakes," OSU fullback Kye Staley said. "Once we stop making mistakes, we will be a much better team. You can't blame anyone for turnovers, because every offensive play involves every single man on the offense. The only thing we can do is work hard and go out there and execute plays."
Holgorsen said the Mountaineers need to get back to the way they were prior to playing Kansas State.
"We're a group that is not very happy right now," he said. "The last three (games) have been pretty tough with what we've faced.
"The next four weeks are going to be pretty tough. It's a pretty determined group out there."

CLEMSON — The first time PJ Tessmann showed up face-painted in enemy territory to support his beloved Georgia football team, the Bulldogs lost, thus granting his high school buddy all the bragging rights he wanted.
Tessmann's not about to make that mistake again.
Nearly 20 years ago, Alabama edged Georgia 29-28 in Tuscaloosa to Tessmann's dismay — he was woofing during the game but sulking after it — but delighting Crimson Tide graduate assistant Dabo Swinney.
So now that No. 5 Georgia's prepping for a primetime showdown at No. 8 Clemson a week from Saturday, the red and black facepaint won't be necessary.
"I am a big Georgia fan, but now … I'll be pulling for Clemson (Aug. 31)," Tessmann told The Post and Courier in a phone interview. "I bought my orange coach's shirt all ready to wear. I'm all in for Clemson."
Swinney has long sung the praises of the Clemson-Georgia rivalry, because he remembers watching the great clashes in the early 1980s as a kid rooting for Alabama.
"My best friend growing up was a Georgia fan, so I've kept up with the Bulldogs a long time," Swinney said. "Clemson-Georgia's special. Been hearing about it for a long time. It's a great rivalry, and it'll be a game for the ages, opening at night, everybody's excited for college football."
Tessmann moved to Birmingham the end of his sophomore year in high school from Marietta, Ga., a northwest suburb of Atlanta. The soccer standout enrolled at Pelham (Ala.), and earned a soccer scholarship to South Alabama, but he held strong to his Georgia fanship instead of picking a side in the Auburn-Alabama rivalry.
Even though Swinney had little interest in soccer, the football and basketball teammates were fast friends. After they graduated from Pelham in 1988, Tessmann would join Swinney — an Alabama football walk-on — in Tuscaloosa to live and train together during a few summers during their college years.
Tessmann and his wife, Kelly, are good friends with Dabo and Kathleen Swinney. Their families spent two weeks this past summer together at the Swinney beach house on Gasparilla Island in Boca Grande, Fla., and try to see each other for one Clemson home game and Christmas each year.
Today, Tessmann's children — daughter Ashley, 13, and son Tanner, 11, both big into soccer — are in the same age range as the three Swinney boys.
That's not all the Tessmann kids have in common with Will, Drew and Clay Swinney.
"They're huge Clemson fans," said PJ Tessmann, now an accountant controller in Birmingham. "They don't know anything about Georgia. They're all in with their Clemson gear; they don't even have any Georgia stuff."
But Tessmann's not giving up on his Bulldogs — with the exception of one night in Death Valley. It wouldn't do right by the shrine in his house — a "typical, over-the-top Georgia room" with pictures and a 10-foot blowup Bulldog displayed during the holidays.
"So this will be the first game," Tessmann admitted, "I won't be pulling for them."
As for Swinney's perspective, he'd like to remove the bitter taste from the last time Clemson faced Georgia — an embarrassing 30-0 home loss to open the 2003 season, in Swinney's debut as the Tigers' wide receivers coach.
"It was my very first game when I came here. I've got bad memories from that game," Swinney said. "I'm not trying to really relive those."
Eight days away, he'll be backed by 80,000-plus fans in the stands — including a longtime pal.
"It's been unbelievable to watch how he handles himself," Tessmann said. "Knowing him as a friend in high school to where he's gotten to now, it's not necessarily surprising. It's just great to see him get the opportunity, and I knew he would definitely prosper in that role."
