As of April 3, 2009, generic Adderall XR is available in the United States. It is being made by Teva Pharmaceuticals. (You can review a news report about this here.)
What Does 'Generic' Mean?
When a medicine is first released – it is patented by the company that invested in the research to develop it. They have a certain number of years to market the medicine exclusively. After the patent runs out – the medicine can be created by other drug manufacturers – the 'generic' companies – generally at a significant discount.
The analogy here is 'Kleenex' vs. tissue.
Kleenex is a brand of tissue. It is only made by one company. However, tissue is made by many companies.
Using this analogy – Adderall XR is the 'Kleenex', and generic adderall XR is the 'tissue'.
Will it work the same?
The short answer is yes. Generic drug manufacturers are able to have a minor variation in how much of the medicine will be absorbed, but for most people, this will not have an impact. In my clinical experience, a small percentage of people are sensitive to the differences and may need to have the 'brand name' medicine only. If that is the case, the doctor needs to write a prescription for Adderall XR NO SUBSTITUTION. When the words 'no substitution' are there, it tells the pharmacist that only the original Adderall XR will do.
For further information on generic medicines in ADHD, please visit this article that I've written previously on this topic.
What Does This Mean for You?
If you have wanted to take a newer, long acting medication like Adderall XR – it just got cheaper.
If you have insurance to pay for your medication, then this is unlikely to matter much to you. If you have to pay for your medication yourself, then it may make a difference to you.
Please remember – this news just applies to the US, as Adderall XR has not gone generic in other countries – such as Canada.

Landover, MD, United States, 2011/11/15 - Leading African-American Decision-Maker at Toyota Motor Sales to be honored at the 16th Annual Urban Wheel Awards - UrbanWheelAwards.com.
Toyota Motor Sales (TMS), USA, Incs group vice president and general manager of Toyota Customer Services, Fletcher V. Davidson will receive the 2012 Executive of the Year Award during the 16th Annual Urban Wheel Awards on Jan. 8, 2011, which will be held in the Sound Board theatre at MotorCity Casino Hotel during the North American International Auto Shows (NAIAS) press preview week. The Urban Wheel Awards is the official multicultural event of the NAIAS.
Davidson will be honored for his proven success in management, specifically for his strategic leadership during the 2010 recalls and the aftermath of the earthquake and tsunami that struck Japan in March 2011.
I am honored to receive the Executive of the Year award and accept it on behalf of Toyota. None of the strides we made following the recalls or the earthquake and tsunami would have been possible without the tremendous efforts of our team members, dealers and suppliers, who worked tirelessly to help our customers and return production to normal levels, said Davidson. This award could not come at a better time as supply is improving for our dealers and customers, and we are preparing to introducing 20 new products over the next few years.
Following the devastation last spring, Davidson and his global parts logistics team were extremely successful at ensuring that Toyota customers with cars in need of service were minimally impacted as a result of the supply-chain disruptions. Taking all individual situations into consideration, he guaranteed parts supply was prioritized based on specific criteria. The process he used was one that was developed and proven by his team during the recall campaigns of the previous year.
In some cases, Davidson went as far as fast-tracking parts via air freight from Japan and hand-delivering outside of the normal inventory flow. Because of efforts like these, very few of Toyotas service customers experienced the loss of the use of their automobiles.
In his role at Toyota, Davidson is responsible for service parts, accessories, product quality, dealer operations and customer relations. In this capacity, he leads a team of 2400 associates who support $3.5 billion in sales.
Davidson holds a bachelors degree in industrial technology from California State University, Long Beach and a masters degree in management science from the University of Southern California. Davidson joined Toyota in 1973 as parts planning administrator, and prior to his current position, he was vice president and general manager of Toyotas North American Parts Organization (NAPO).

(CBS) NORTON SHORES, Mich. -- Police in Michigan are searching for Jessica Heeringa, an Exxon gas station clerk, who reportedly disappeared from the station on Friday night, according to officials.
Officials believe the 25-year-old mother was closing the store when she was abducted, according to CBS affiliate WWJ. Her purse and other personal belongings were found at the gas station. There was also no money missing from the cash drawer, reports the station.
Police said there was apparently no struggle inside the store, MLive reported.
Police are now searching for a silver minivan, which may be a Chrysler Town and Country, that was seen at the station before Heeringa's disappearance.
Police are describing the driver of the van as a white male, between 30 and 40 years old, about six feet tall, with a medium to heavy build and broad shoulders. The driver had light brown or sandy blonde wavy hair and was last seen wearing a bright red or orange sweatshirt, reports MLive.
Heeringa is described as a white female, about five feet, one inch tall and 110 pounds, with shoulder-length blond hair and blue eyes. She reportedly wears wire rim glasses and may be wearing a blue collared shirt labeled with "Sternberg Exxon."
Anyone who may have witnessed suspicious activity near the Exxon Mobil gas station is asked to contact Silent Observer at 231-72-CRIME (231-722-7463) or call 911.

- Overview
Silver Bullet throttle body spacers create turbulence in the air flow just prior to entry into the engine increasing horsepower, torque and improving throttle response and fuel efficiency. Silver Bullet throttle body spacers are constructed out of durable 6061-T6 billet aluminum and use a unique serrated/helix entry to create turbulence at the manifold while eliminating the annoying whistle found in other helix-only throttle spacers.
Serrated/Helix Design: The Serrated/Helix combination design creates intake turbulence in the combustion chamber. This turbulence breaks up the fuel which creates a more complete combustion cycle increasing horsepower, torque and improving throttle response. The Serrated/Helix combination design also reduces intake whistle that occurs with helix-only designs.
6061-T6 Billet Aluminum Construction: All Silver Bullet Throttle Body Spacers are constructed from 6061-T6 billet aluminum precision machined for light weight, high strength and perfect fit and finish.
Longer Intake Track: Adding a Silver Bullet Throttle Body spacer lengthens the intake track which helps increase intake air speed, performance and improve throttle response.
This throttle body spacer is 50-state legal (CARB E.O Number D-550-11/D-550-17) and only fits with aFe intake part number 54-10382, 51-10382, 54-10712 and 51-10712. It does not fit with the factory or any other intake system.

A brand-new heart-stopping audiobook from Charlie Higson, author of the best-selling Young Bond series, read by Paul Whitehouse - the most exciting thing you'll hear all year.
They'll chase you. They'll rip you open. They'll feed on you....
When the sickness came, every parent, policeman, politician - every adult - fell ill. The lucky ones died. The others are crazed, confused and hungry.
Only children under 14 remain whole, and they're fighting to survive. Now there are rumours of a safe place to hide. And so a gang of children begin their quest across London, where all through the city - down alleyways, in deserted houses, underground - the grown-ups lie in wait. But can they make it there alive?
©2009 Charlie Higson (P)2009 Penguin Books Ltd
"Great first book, what about the others?"
I really enjoyed this story. It was well written and I eventually got into Paul Whitehouse's narration. Since completing it I have bought the three books (so far) in paper back and come back regularly to check if the next books have made it to audio format yet. This is one of the best zombie series of books out there, and I have ploughed through lots. If you like blood, guts and gore, you'll love it. Looking forward to the rest of the series.
"Very authentic and characters were intriguing."
Plot was simple but still entertaining and characters involved you and gave rise to wanting to know what happened at each juncture.
Likability of characters and there are some very funny/odd moments .
All of the main group had admirable traits and interacted together but not always as you'd expect.
If you want an easy read about kids resourcefulness , I know the two wouldn't normally go together but it works !!
"Zombies V's Teens"
I already have! I polished the whole book off in a weekend and instantly recommend the book to my mate and his teenage son who both devour The Walking Dead TV show.
The swimming pool scene early in the book had me on the edge of my seat. Charlie Higson has written some great characters in this book and bravely (or stupidly) isn't afraid to kill them off. This adds a real element of dread for the characters welfare.Especially when they are in peril, as all the bets are off as to whether they will live or die! The ambush in the park is done well too, an unexpected attack on the refugees by unlikely assailants!
A great reading from Charlie Higson's co conspirator Paul Whitehouse. Paul creates easily recognizable characters using a variety of different London accents, tones and dialects to instill individuality in both sexes. The action segments really keep you stoked!
Some of the deaths are surprising. I mentioned before its a brave move for Charlie Higson to make to dispatch central characters early on in a series but it keeps the books edgy. No one is safe!
This was a great book and brilliantly read by Paul Whitehouse. Why, oh why aren't the rest of the series on Audible UK? Come on guys, this is a growing UK franchise, lets support it!
Something About Myself
"Superb Audiobook. 5 out of 5"
I bought this as I liked Charlie Higson's adult books and thought my Daughter might like the story. So I listened to check it was suitable for her. I started in the car at 7am (I drive all day for work) and couldn't stop listening. I was up until 2am that night finishing the book. Brilliant, the narration is superb, Paul Whitehouse is magnificent and shows just how a great narration can add so much to a story.
The story will appeal to most teenagers that enjoy a good thriller/horror story. I just hope that they bring the next 2 books out in audio format as i was mortified to hear there are more books but no audio! 5/5 Quality!
"brilliant audio book"
I absolutely loved it. the narration takes getting used to, but the story's amazing
"Not for the faint hearted"
I would listen again. The characters that Higson has created and Paul Whitehouse brings to life are well thought out and interesting to discover. I feel confident that another listen through would further enhance the feeling of being a fly on the wall watching the progress of these kids through London.
My first thought was Lord Of the Flies.
Achilles is a real stand out. And the countryside couple in the tube - Nick and Rachael
.....is everywhere.
Please finish the series.
"Very good for teens"
Interesting, original, different
The Darren Shan series
Haven't listen to him before, very good performance
Listened for about ) hours straight. Very gripping story
Very good book. Bought for my teenage brother but I listened to it first. Storytelling adds to the entire experience of this book. Originality of the story was a positive too. Highly recommended for teenagers and fans of Darren Shan and Anthony Horowitz
I enjoy most genres of fiction but expecially crime fiction.
"Good start but where's the rest?"
I didn't realise this was the start of a series until I got to the end of the book when it became obvious. Sadly the description on Audible failed to mention this and also failed to mention it was aimed at younger readers. My fault, I should have done more research but the really gutting thing is the next 5 books are not on audible despite this one being around for 5 years.
It was an enjoyable book in it's own right, pretty well written and very well narrated but it just stops, couldn't believe it when the narrator said 'The End'.
I like to learn interesting stuff on midnight runs. And I need absorbing children's audio to stay sane on long car journeys.
"Brilliant Urban Zombie Disaster novel for kids"
Firstly, this is a great book, superbly read. On the negative side, graphic violence (against zombie-esques) and colourful language (realistic and atmospheric) may make this unsuitable for some children/parents, but once you get over these elements it's a really compelling listen. My kids couldn't wait to get in the car and hear another instalment. I await the audio version of the next in the series. (Due to the factors mentioned above, their mother would have written a very different review).
"The Enemy"
Fantastically written (and narrated) in Chav language, complete with London accents, "the Enemy" boasts action, gore, and overall incredible storyline of adult-zombie-ridden London, with all the kids running free. A totally unpredictable plot with entirely believable characters, I'm really hoping there will be a sequel.
Level of gore may be too much for children & squeamish teens, but awesome for those who thrive on action.
"Great book! But where are the others?"
A scary concept for many children would be losing their parents to some horrible disease, but what if that disease made them want to eat you?
Charlie Higson captures the way life would be in a world ruled by children while falling apart. The ups and downs in this novel are perfectly placed, and he switches between groups and scenes with well placed cliff hangers.
I definitely recommend this read to any teen who likes a good Zombie/Survival story that isn't riddled with teen romance and vampires.
However, there are several other books in this series that I would love to listen too. Where are they?
"Lord of the Flies meets Zombies"
I had no idea that this book even existed until my 15-year old daughter brought a physical copy home and told us how good the first ten chapters had been. She gave us a simple overview, and seeing as both my wife and I enjoy a good zombie book, decided to see if Higson's books were available through Audible. To our dismay, only this first in his series is currently available in audio format, but we figured we'd give his origin story a try anyway.
We found this to be a new twist on zombie lore. Leaving children to fend for themselves in the midst of adult conversion into sick and twisted monsters that roam the London streets proved to be a good backdrop for his story.
The characters are fleshed out well (no pun intended) and you find yourself rooting for them as they have to navigate from one creepy and dangerous situation to another throughout the course of the story, and Higson does an admirable job of capturing tween/teen angst and particular brand of defiance that causes conflicts that might not exist for adults. Of course, I found myself on more than one occasion having flashbacks to the original Lord of the Flies story and wish that some of the antagonistic behaviors some of the kids have toward one another felt more original, but it doesn't diminish the overall arc of the story and the reader's investment with the kids.
The book ends with a couple of great setups for the sequals that I'm eager to follow-up with, but for now, I'm going to have to have to resort to buying the printed copies as no audiobooks exist (yet - I hope) for the other four in the series.
On a side note, Paul Whitehouse's reading of The Enemy was stellar and really added some authentic British feel (and accent) to the situation, and kept us riveted. My daughter listened after she finished reading her copy of the book and also said that she wished she'd listened instead as the narrator gave such a good performance and made each kid unique and identifiable.
All I can say is:hurry up Audible and get those others made! :)
"Good choice for narration for a wonderful book"
As a teen fiction, this was a very engaging book that had a good story and interesting characters.
I've liked all of the major characters, but I think Ollie is the most complex since we are not given too much about him. I think the intersection between characters is well written and keeps the story moving.
The speed and excitement of his British accent adds a great deal to the story since it takes place in London. He works with the dialogue well and changes some of the text to suit the dialogue.
Not sure, but I think this would make an excellent movie. I would definitely like to see the story on screen.
My daughter is reading the book now and it's all I can do not to give away the story. We can't wait to start the next book.

"Loved this book!"
like Lord of the Rings, resident evil, walking dead and Lord of the flies all in one.
If you like gore and detail. You will enjoy this book. I've read every book in this series and can't wait for the seventh to come out in the fall!

RESEARCH TRIANGLE PARK, N.C.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Due to the current regulatory environment, pharmaceutical companies are only allowed to maintain a fraction of their prior medical education budgets, according to a new report published by Cutting Edge Information.
"Major compliance issues can disappear with better integration of technology in speaker programs."
Even at large drug manufacturers, medical education budgets pale in comparison to what they once were. Ten years ago, a large pharmaceutical organization could have a $15 million budget on the books for educational speaker programs. However, according to one interviewed managing director of medical education, current restrictions require companies to place a wall between educational and any promotional activity. Despite these barriers and difficulties, educational speaker programs are an important part of any brand strategy.
Cutting Edge Information's recent study, "Educational Speaker Programs: Event Management and Recruitment in a Complex Regulatory Environment," revealed that the increases in technological advances have helped pharmaceutical companies continue their role in medical education.
"Social integration allows doctors and key opinion leaders (KOLs) to more easily interact with drug companies than before," said Michelle Vitko, senior research analyst at Cutting Edge Information. "Major compliance issues can disappear with better integration of technology in speaker programs."
These efforts to support better integration will allow the industry to continue to safely educate physicians. Since the pharmaceutical industry has such an interest in continuing educational speaker programs, but drug companies need to optimize medical education teams' structure and staffing to effectively managing opportunities. Properly distributing funds to these medical education programs can also make or break the success rate of a company's speaker programs.
"Educational Speaker Programs: Event Management and Recruitment in a Complex Regulatory Environment" (http://www.cuttingedgeinfo.com/research/medical-affairs/educational-speaker-programs/) features detailed data on educational speaker program teams' structure, recruitment methods, training and event compensation. Research also highlights metrics illustrating educational speaker event management including typical attendance, average cost per attendee, and best times to hold events. Use this report to:
- Create superior educational speaker programs by recruiting, training, and compensating high-caliber speakers.
- Understand the impending Sunshine Act requirements and increased transparency's impact on speaker events.
- Prepare educational speaker programs to face increased public scrutiny and smaller budgets.
For more information about educational speaker programs, contact Cassie Demeter at 919-403-6583.

Amy Childs thinks now is "a good time" for former The Only Way Is Essex cast-mate Lauren Goodger to walk away from the ITV2 show.
Goodger has run into trouble with producers, and confirmed last week that there are "issues" currently being investigated. She was completely absent from Sunday's episode.
Writing in her New column, Amy - who left the show last year - said: "I don't know the ins and outs of what happened as obviously I'm not a part of that anymore. But if she has quit or has been axed then I think this could be a good thing.
"I reckon it's a good time for Lauren to move on from TOWIE. She has a successful business and lots of fans, so she'll be just fine with or without the show."
Ratings for the show continue to prove strong for the digital channel, with over 1 million viewers logged for every episode of the current fifth season so far. The figure is over three times the amount managed by E4 rival Made In Chelsea.
Do you think Goodger should walk away?

Plugged In
Prodigy's number one debut notwithstanding, music industry watchers remain leery of electronica's potential for success -- as they should. So far, the craze is hardly shaping up as a commercial windfall to rival that of the early-'90s grunge explosion. When you get right down to it, electronic music -- with its hypnotic spray of throbbing drum loops, technologically enhanced hemming and hawing and well-positioned bleeps and squawks -- is really about the visceral nature of sound, not the character traits of the performers behind it. The genre's futuristic appeal lies in its synthetic obliqueness, its impersonal innovation, its utter diversion from the pop-rock norm and, in extreme cases, its distance from humanity in general.
Such an all-consuming diversion goes over famously amidst the semi-anonymous bustle, pulsing lights and industrial sound systems of a nightclub. But it doesn't always translate effectively to the privacy of one's living room. Therein lies the rub. And yet, Spin magazine and BF Goodrich Tires, the oddball dual-sponsorship pairing behind this summer's Electric Highway Tour, will have none of such pessimism. They see a burgeoning movement in need of a push, so you can be assured the acts they've assembled for their promotional blitz are among the most user-friendly of electronica's up-and-comers. One, fresh-faced Londoners Arkarna, could well be the genre's most photogenic and radio-savvy.
Electric Highway makes its Houston pit stop Thursday at Westpark Entertainment Center, where the sound surges of main-stage artists Arkarna, Überzone and The Crystal Method will compete with -- and complement -- slick digital lighting effects and a barrage of multimedia images on huge screens. A pair of tents will feature mixing antics from Doc Martin, Bizz, AK1200, DJ Icey, Skylab SoundSystem, DJ Keoki and Herb Legowitz of the Icelandic outfit Gus Gus. Adding to the event-like feel will be various vendors, a "tire art" sculpture exhibit (evidence of the Goodrich connection) and assorted interactive attractions.
Think of Britain's Arkarna as the Fountains of Wayne of the electronica movement: a simple pop band donning an effective ambient disguise. While their brains may be locked into techno-thud mode, they're really pretty-boy rock slaves at heart. Quite often, it's guitar-driven melody, rather than loop-generated rhythm, that dictates the feel of the quartet's upcoming debut, Fresh Meat, on which Top 40 radio references run amuck. Arkarna has already had two UK hits with "The Future's Overrated" and "House on Fire" (the latter of which was included on the Batman and Robin soundtrack). And for good reason -- peeking out from beneath the group's dense grooves are hints of everyone from Pavement to the Beach Boys to the Bangles.

As for the others on the bill, Überzone's approach, which incorporates influences as diverse as Kraftwerk and Public Enemy, is as digitally uncompromising as Arkarna's is digitally compromised; the Crystal Method is a Las Vegas-based twosome whose molar-rattling low-end, grainy grooves, trip-hoppy vibe and mix-and-match use of traditional instruments have invited comparisons to the almighty Chemical Brothers; and DJs Ken Jordan and Scott Kirkland are on the road to drum up support for their upcoming Geffen/Outpost debut Vegas.
All this touting of the electronica craze begs the question: What happens when the novelty wears thin? In the worst-case scenario, a swift nosedive could drive electronica's die-hard purveyors back underground, leaving behind little more than the scattered remains of a fad. But then again, that shouldn't be any real tragedy for the artists; they've always felt more comfortable there anyhow.

W.C. Clark -- Jimmie Vaughan (a guy who should know) once called Clark "a true cornerstone of Austin's music scene." For certain, he's been a leading exponent of blues, soul and R&B in the capital city since the 1950s, a singing and guitar-playing godfather to the Vaughan brothers, Angela Strehli, Lou Ann Barton and the other upstarts raised on African-American music. This decade, thanks to a recording contract with Black Top and regular road work, Clark has extended his sphere of influence all over the country. Clark's latest release, Texas Soul, even captured a W.C. Handy award for Best Soul/Blues Album. But the upturn in Clark's career hardly compensates for the personal tragedy of losing his fiancee and drummer in a car accident near Sherman last year. If anything, the recent highs and lows have made the mingled pain and joy always present in Clark's music all the more eloquent. At 9 p.m. Saturday, August 23, at Billy Blues, 6025 Richmond. Cover is $8. 266-9294. (Frank-John Hadley)
Michael Rose -- As the lead singer for Black Uhuru during the band's 1980s heyday, Michael Rose developed one of the most distinctive presences in reggae. Writing and fronting an unbroken string of hits, Rose was among the vanguard of artists who helped turn reggae music from an island phenomenon into a global sensation. After Black Uhuru splintered, Rose headed for the hills -- literally. In 1995, he emerged from his coffee plantation and revamped his career, releasing three superb discs in as many years, including the recent Dance Wicked. Juicing Uhuru's laid-back rhythms with a poppier percussion and bass section, Rose combines the power and political clarity of roots reggae with dance-hall modernism for a stirring synthesis of old and new. Wednesday, August 27, at Jamaica Jamaica, 2631 Richmond. Doors open at 8 p.m. Cover is $10. 529-8800. (Bob Burtman)

Reviews forFrosted Eggnog Cookies
My Review
Average Rating
"My husband loves these cookies at Christmas time. They have great flavor and the icing is great."
"Disappointing. The cookies tasted like raw flour and the icing tasted like butter. I'd look elsewhere if you're considering this recipe. I was fooled by the 4.5 star rating. These tasted nothing like the eggnog cookies I've had."
"Yummy cookies. I'm not much for doing fussy frosting, so I just put a little dollop of frosting in the center and put a plate of cookies in the microwave for about 15 seconds until the frosting melted and spread out. While frosting was still soft, I sprinkled the tops with nutmeg sugar to give them a little visual interest.2016- I was short on time, so I just sprinkled the tops with nutmeg sugar after they came out of the oven. I always add more nutmeg to the dough than is called for."
"My mom and I are always looking for new recipes to try for our Christmas cookie collection. We made these this year, but I don't think we'll be making them again. They were easy to make especially since they can be made ahead of time then just sliced. They were lacking flavor though. Even with the frosting, it was just sweet but not a strong eggnog flavor."
"I came across this recipe just in time for a cookie contest at work for our holiday party. I found the recipe easy to follow. I baked the cookies for about 10 minutes and they came out amazing. Not too soft or too crispy. The icing was also delicious. Definitely an egg nog flavor, but not overwhelming. I recommend this recipe! And.. I won the cookie competition."
"I made these last year and everyone loved them. I chose this recipe because it had the most eggnog in it and they were delicious! They are a soft cookie and I baked them for less time then stated. I think it was more like 7 minutes.I am going to make them again this year along with my gingerbread men. <3"
"A great cookie! It will be one of our holiday favorites from here on out!"
"These cookies were dry and not that tasty. Frosting was good though.Won't be making again."
"These were great. I halved the recipe and added a little bit of nutmeg to the icing. Very easy recipe with great results! I baked my first batch for 7 minutes and they were a bit overdone. 5 minutes seems to be just right. They stay really light, so watch carefully. You don't want to overcook these or they get dry. 8-10 minutes is way too long."
"iam a egg nog lover but, these cookies just didnt make the grade. Too sweet and not a good flavor. plus made too many cookies and took alot of time to make."

HOUSTON - NASA is asking the public to choose the design for its next-generation spacesuit.
[SLIDESHOW: NASA unveils new spacesuit designs]
Engineers at the Johnson Space Center in Houston unveiled three designs for the outer shell of its upgraded "Z-2" suit.
According to NASA, "Z-2 takes the next step ... approaching a final flight-capable design."
The first of the three designs is nicknamed "Biomimicry" and is inspired by the world's oceans. It incorporates the bioluminescent qualities of deep-sea fish with wires that emit light on the front and back of the upper section. "Biomimicry" also draws inspiration from the scaly skin of reptiles.
The second design -- "Technology" -- honors past spacesuits while integrating futuristic elements. The second suit uses both wire and patches to emit light, which could be used to identify crew members. "Technology" also features collapsing pleats for easier movement and "abrasion-resistant panels" to protect astronauts.
[RELATED: Vote on new spacesuit designs]
NASA's final design aims to evoke a sense of what clothes could look like in the future. Nicknamed "Trends in Society," the third option uses a color scheme inspired by modern sportswear. Electroluminescent patches and wires are incorporated on the arms, the chest and the lower torso.
The public can vote on the three designs through April 15. NASA expects the Z-2 suit to be built by November 2014.

Frontline Online: The green transition scoreboard
The Ecologist's Lorna Howarth reports on news and action from the environmental frontline....
Over $4trillion dollars in green investment proves that businesses are moving away from the fossil-fuel based economy.
Hazel Henderson, futurist and long-time contributor to Resurgence and The Ecologist has always been interested in future-proofing market trends and making them more ethical and accountable. In order to track how green investment is doing in real terms, her organization Ethical Market Media (EMM) has devised the Green Transition Scoreboard, and results announced today are encouraging.
From 2007 to 2012 there were some massive investments worldwide: in renewable energy ($2,281,347,792,080 – a number so big it's almost unintelligible!); green construction ($837,620,000,000); Cleantech ($224,601,088,873) and most importantly, energy efficiency ($526,921,247,320).
Henderson believes that many private investors are now following EMM's recommended goal to shift to green sectors. People are realizing that "environmental, social and human capital must be assessed and integrated into financial markets in order to achieve equitable and sustainable forms of development, resulting in new global shared goals and paths towards low-carbon, cleaner, greener and information-richer economies," said Henderson.
The Green Transition Scoreboard (GTS) omits investment in nuclear, clean coal, carbon capture and sequestration and biofuels from feedstocks other than sea-grown algae, as their 'green' credentials are contentious, but it is looking closely at nanotechnology, genetic engineering, 3D printing and artificial life-forms to determine their green contribution on a case-by-case basis.
In 2012 there was a growing awareness that localization in all sectors, is a key principle for redesigning industrial systems so they become more sustainable. EMM believe that green technologies and systems investments are the next evolution of human societies as we learn from earth systems sciences how better to manage our economies.
The robust framework provided by the GTS means that we can now accurately measure the evolving revolution in ethical investments for a green economy. "2013 promises to take long strides away form the fossil-fuelled industrial era," says Henderson. "With over $4trillion committed to the green economy since 2007, technology and innovation – such as in electricity generation and transport – has begun to force structural changes and rethinking of business models, urban design and development towards new, integrated systemic approach."
Exciting stuff!

Ise Grand Shrine
A fleeting romantic moment enjoying the sunset at Enoshima Sea Candle is the perfect way to end a day in Japan—one that will linger in your memory forever.
The lighthouse observation tower stands at the highest point of Enoshima island, which is just off the coast of Kanagawa Prefecture, about an hour outside Tokyo. It offers a panoramic view of this lovely little place, as well as Mt Fuji, the Miura Peninsula and the city of Yokohama.
Your voyage starts with a narrow road that's lined with restaurants and shops selling unique local food and souvenirs. The pathway stretches all the way from the beach to the top of the island. Along the route, there is a shrine dedicated to Benten, a goddess of the arts and wisdom.
The romantic journey eventually climaxes at Enoshima Sea Candle, where the setting sun paints the whole world in shimmering orange and pink before shyly hiding its face behind the mountains. You'll leave in awe—and never forget the moment you've just shared with your loved one.

[Verse 1]
When apples still grow in November,
When blossoms still bloom from each tree,
When leaves are still green in December,
It's then that our land will be free.
I've wandered her hills and valleys,
Yet still, through my sorrow, I see,
A land that has never known freedom,
And only her rivers run free.
[Verse 2]
I drink to the death of her manhood.
To those men who would rather have died,
Than to live in the cold chains of bondage,
To bring back their rights that were denied.
Where are you know when we need you?
What burns where the flames used to be?
Are ye gone, like the snows of last winter?
And will only our rivers run free?
[Verse 3]
How sweet is life but we're crying,
How mellow is the wine but it's dry,
How fragrant is the rose but it's dying,
And how gentle is the breeze but it sighs.
What good is in youth when it's aging?
What joy are in eyes that can't see?
When there's sorrow in sunshine and flowers,
And only our rivers run free?
Lyrics taken from http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/w/wolfe_tones/only_our_rivers_run_free.html

The starting running back on Richmond's 2010 State Championship football team was charged May 23 with several firearm and drug felonies stemming from his arrest a day earlier.
Landon Skye Walker was taken into custody near his home on South Camden Street last Wednesday after police responded to a report of a shooting at a home on South Lexington. Walker allegedly fled the scene before police arrived, but was arrested shortly thereafter.
According to a complaint filed by the prosecutor's office, Walker is charged with A Felony distribution of a controlled substance near public or other government-assisted housing; Armed Criminal Action, a C felony; three C Felony counts of Assault in the 2nd Degree; Unlawful use of a Weapon, a C Felony; Unlawful Use of a Weapon, a D Felony, and two A Misdemeanors. The misdemeanors were filed for possession of drug paraphernalia and leaving the scene of a motor-vehicle accident, according to the complaint.
Walker, 20, is being held on $20,000 cash-only bond. He was arraigned May 28 and pleaded not guilty. His next court appearance is at 8:30 a.m. June 11.
Police reported to the shooting scene shortly after 2 p.m. May 22. They interviewed three men who had apparently been shot with a BB gun. The men were treated at the scene, but all three declined to be taken to the hospital.
According to Richmond Sgt. Scott Bagley's court affidavit, Walker was located less than an hour later, hiding behind his apartment building in the 200 block of South Camden.
Taken into custody, the suspect consented to a search of his vehicle, from which police confiscated a small plastic bag of suspected marijuana, rolling papers and the empty box for a BB-gun sight.

Chile's Supreme Court Halts Wind Farm Project and Orders Consultation with Mapuche People
On Friday, March 23rd, the Chilean Supreme Court handed down a decision in favor of a Huilliche-Mapuche community who were trying to stop Ecopower — a Chilean-Sweedish company — from building 56 wind turbines on the island of Chiloé. The Huilliche community claimed, among other things, that they were never effectively consulted about the project and that the project would negatively affect Mapuche ceremonial sites and burial grounds. The Supreme Court agreed that consultation had not occurred and ordered that the project be halted until consultation has been completed. Continue reading

Court of Appeals Suspends Construction of Power Lines through Mapuche Ancestral Lands
On Wednesday, January 25th, the Temuco Court of Appeals found in favor of several Mapuche communities who sought to stop construction of power transmission lines through their ancestral lands. The Mapuche communities argued that they were not consulted about the project as is required by International Labor Organization Convention No. 169 (ILO 169), which has been ratified by Chile and is a part of Chilean law. The decision — a victory for indigenous rights — may still be appealed to the Chilean Supreme Court. Continue reading

Supreme Court Issues Another Decision Addressing Police Violence in Mapuche Communities
On January 5, 2012, the Chilean Supreme Court upheld a ruling in favor of a Mapuche youth from Temucuicui that originated in the Court of Appeals in Temuco. The case arose following an altercation between police forces and Mapuche community members in Temucuicui on December 8th, during which the police detained Felipe Marillán Morales, a 12-year-old minor. It is the second case in recent weeks to address the legality of police operations in the Araucanía region. Continue reading

Chilean Senate Urges Executive Branch to Consult with Aymara, Kawashkar Peoples
According to a Chilean Senate press release dated January 6th, the Senate has voted twice in recent days to request the President to consult with specific Indigenous communities within Chile. One vote requested that the President consult with the Kawashkar people over coastal zoning that is to take place in and around their community, and the other vote related to various environmental regulations that could affect water rights and land use for some Aymara communities. The votes are the topic of our latest column for I Love Chile News, which can be read here.

Chilean Court Prohibits Use of Tear Gas Against Mapuche Communities
On Wednesday, December 21st, the Temuco Court of Appeals decided a case in which they ordered the Chilean police force to refrain from using tear gas in the homes of Mapuche communities near Ercilla. The court's order also stated that tear gas should not be used when women, children or elderly people are present. The case was brought by the Mapuche community of Wente Winkul Mapu, after their homes were raided by officers firing tear gas in November of this year. The court's decision cited several international law instruments, including ILO Convention 169. Continue reading

Senator Introduces Legislation to Allow Indigenous Peoples to Wear Traditional Clothing at School Functions
Several weeks ago, we wrote a post about two Mapuche students who were not permitted to where their traditional clothing to their high school graduation. The incident occurred in Collipulli on November 21st. At the time, a leader from the Mapuche community spoke out against the discrimination and stated that legal action was a possibility. In response to this incident, on November 30th, Senator Alejandro Navarro (MAS) introduced legislation that would allow all Indigenous students to wear their ancestral dress to school functions.

Mapuche Protests Against Araucanía Airport Continue, Make International Headlines
On Saturday, November 26th, the BBC ran a story about the ongoing conflict between various Mapuche communities and the Chilean government over the construction of an airport. The BBC's report focused on a recent confrontation between Mapuche individuals and the police in which tear gas and hoses were used against Mapuche protesters after two officers sustained minor injuries. According to reports in the Chilean media, the confrontation broke out after roads were barricaded in protest of the airport. Given the attention brought to the issue by the BBC last week, we thought it would be worthwhile to walk through the timeline of events leading to this most recent clash. Continue reading

Indigenous Leaders Conclude Meetings with Congress, Call for Repeal of Decree 124
On October 4th and 5th, several hundred Indigenous leaders from all over Chile met with the Chilean Congress primarily to discuss the issue of consultation. The two-day event was called the National Parliamentary Meeting between Indigenous Peoples and the National Congress (Encuentro Nacional Parlamentario entre Pueblos Indígenas y el Congreso Nacional), and while little has been reported about what was accomplished thus far, it has come out that the Indigenous peoples banned together to ask for Congress' assistance to repeal Decree 124 — the law that currently guides how consultation with Indigenous peoples functions in most circumstances.

The deadline has been extended to October 31 next year for FBOs and others who operate fueling facilities and fueling trucks to meet new spill prevention, control and containment (SPCC) rules. The former deadline was next month. However, the jury is still out on a proposal under which fuel suppliers would no longer be required to have "sized secondary containment," removing the mandate that trucks must be parked in special containment or "bermed" areas when not in service. This proposal would also allow facilities that store less than 10,000 gallons of oil to "self certify" their SPCC implementation plans, rather than use the services of professional engineers.
Fuel-spill rules eased

Corn may have won
the battle, but soybeans are winning
the war.
Sure, corn futures may have emerged from last week's slew of
US Department of Agriculture data with the most bullish revisions.
The USDA downgraded its estimate for domestic stocks of the
grain at the close of 2013-14 to 1.63bn bushels, 230m bushels below expectations.
But after posting a 5% rebound on the day, the grain has
failed to hold upward momentum, and extended its gentle return to earth on Thursday.
'Show me'
Soybeans, however - for which the USDA data was deemed
neutral, and showed little reaction on the day - has started to power ahead,
setting course early on Thursday for a sixth successive positive finish.
In part, that is down to a change of investor attitude
towards the prospect of China, the top soybean importer, cancelling orders of
US crop and replacing them with South American supplies - given large
expectations for the Brazilian crop, of which early harvesting has begun with
good results.
"The trade seems to shifting their expectations that China
cancellation of US soybean purchases were inevitable to one of 'show me before
I believe it'," said Kim Rugel at Benson Quinn Commodities.
Although the premium of US export offers to Brazilian ones
is "widening, China is also taking a 'show me' stance to exports and seems to
be waiting for Brazil to prove it can execute before making any origin shifts".
'Record pace'
Furthermore, Chinese orders of US soybeans for 2014-15 (the latest
revealed on Wednesday) have set a "record pace, as demand growth for soybean
imports has them starting next marketing year buying well in advance of US
spring planting".
It helped bulls' case that futures on China's Dalian exchange
rose overnight by 0.5% to settle at 4,667 yuan a tonne, for May delivery.
That took gains so far in 2014 above 5%.
Soymeal extended
its revival too, gaining 0.5% to 3,380 yuan a tonne for May delivery.
Soybean demand in the US is strong as well, as shown by industry
data on Thursday which pegged at a record 165.4m bushels the domestic crush in
December, up from 160.1m bushels the month before, and beating market
expectations of 163.9m bushels too.
"The soy market is justifiably concerned about whether US
soy demand is being throttled back sufficiently to insure a minimum [end-2013-14]
carryover," said Richard Feltes at broker RJ O'Brien, noting that prices are
some $2 a bushel below those in May-June, and $1 a bushel down on August-September
"Short term, we look for a continuation of brisk soybean
demand, on the heels of attractive nearby crush margins, a sizeable US Pacific
North West January, February and March soy export book and attractive US
livestock feeding margins," Mr Feltes said.
Indeed, investors "must consider the possibility of a
technical breakout" in the March contract above high around $13.53 a bushel
reached last month – a breakout which could herald a move to close a chart gap
up to $13.85 a bushel.
Palm revives
Meanwhile, the signals from elsewhere in the oilseeds complex
were not so bad either, with Kuala Lumpur palm
oil adding 0.2% to 2,541 ringgit a tonne as of 09:30 UK time (03:30 Chicago
time), looking for only its second winning session of 2014.
The more resilient performance, after the vegetable oil's
longest losing streak since March, reflected a weaker ringgit "helping to
garner some external interest in palm oil", making it cheaper to buyers in
other currencies, Singapore-based Phillip Futures said.
However, a fire at the Power Oil Rostock rapeseed crushing
plant in Rostock, Germany, has also provided some support, in lowering
potential for rapeseed oil production, and opening up the potential for imports
of palm oil as an alternative.
European rapemeal prices have been a beneficiary too.
Back in Chicago, soybeans for March were 0.3% higher at
$13.21 Ľ a bushel.
Chinese rejections
This, again, represented outperformance over corn, which edged 0.25 cents higher to
$4.26 a bushel for March delivery, fighting something of a technical battle to
keep hold of its 10-day moving average at just below that level.
Sure, there is continued comment over Chinese rejections, on
grounds of contamination with a Beijing-unapproved GMO variety, of US cargoes
of corn and distillers' grains, the byproduct
of ethanol manufacture used as a feed ingredient.
And US ethanol production last week "fell well short of
expectations", Luke Mathews at Commonwealth Bank of Australia noted, following
data on Wednesday showing the biggest week-on-week drop in output on record.
However, this was down to one-off disruption from the US
cold snap, rather than a strategic retreat.
Egypt tenders again
Wheat, meanwhile,
held steady at $5.67 ľ a bushel in Chicago for March delivery, remaining among
its lowest levels in three years, but given some support against further losses
from yet another tender by Egypt's Gasc grain authority overnight.
With the US having won the last tender, at the weekend,
there is hope that it will do so again too, providing evidence of demand at
reduced prices.
"If a large purchase of US wheat is observed, which is
possible, we might see some support come through for CBOT futures," Mr Mathews
'Not much of a threat'
And there is the continued US cold to factor in too.
"With harshly cold weather in the US, there might be
concerns of such conditions affecting the US wheat crop," Vanessa Tan at
Phillip Futures said.
"However, we do not see this being much of a threat to the
wheat crop in the Midwest for the next week.
In light of the supply situation of the wheat market, we
remain bearish on US wheat."
Furthermore, there is plenty of comment over India's
forecast of a potential record 100m-tonne wheat crop this year, given the
country's growing status as an exporter.
Indian pressure
Among soft commodities, raw
sugar put its worst foot forward again, setting a fresh three-year low of
15.10 cents a pound before recovering some ground to stand at 15.16 cents a
pound, a drop of 0.6% on the day.
"Expectations that the Indian government today will approve
incentives to boost sugar exports" are weighing on values, CBA's Mr Mathews
Ms Tan said that the incentives "being considered to be
given to struggling Indian mills in an effort to boost raw sugar exports, [spell]
bearishness for the soft commodity".
Data later
Back in grain markets, price direction later may be set by
weekly US export sales data, expected to come in at 350,000-600,000 tonnes for wheat,
an improvement on the 295,000 tonnes last time.
For corn, sales are expected at 300,000-550,000 tonnes, at
least double the previous week's result.
And for soybeans, sales of 750,000-1.05m tonnes are forecast,
compared with 156,200 tonnes last time.

Townsend: Mavericks' meltdown ranks among worst ever
PORTLAND, Ore. — In the cramped visitors' locker room, Mavericks players' emotions included anger, shock and confusion. Then there was Jason Kidd.
He was somber, certainly, but somehow matter-of-fact after Saturday's colossal fourth-quarter Mavericks meltdown that enabled Portland to tie this playoff series 2-2. Jason, what in the world just happened?
"It's the game of basketball," Kidd said. "It can take you on a high. And it can take you on a low. So we've got to bounce back from this.
"I've lost 20-point leads before. It happens. We've got to get back home and get ready for Monday's game."
Most of the reporters surrounding Kidd probably thought, "No, nothing of this magnitude has happened to Jason Kidd. This kind of playoff cave-in only happens to Mavericks, with most of them occurring before Kidd's 2008 arrival. At this latest bleak moment, does anyone even need to be reminded of the 2006 Finals?"
The Elias Sports Bureau confirmed that what happened Saturday at the Rose Garden was, indeed, epic. This was only the third time since the 1954 advent of the 24-second shot clock that a team has blown an 18-point-or-greater lead entering the fourth quarter of a playoff game.
One of those teams was Houston in the 1994 Western Conference semifinals. When the Rockets blew a 100-82 lead and lost to Phoenix, 124-117, in overtime, it sent them into 2-0 series deficit.
Both games were at home and involved blown double-digit leads, prompting the next morning's Houston Chronicle headline: "Choke City."
The Rockets rallied to win that series and the NBA title.
Unlike the '94 Rockets, Dallas' debacle leaves it in a 2-2 series tie, with two of the last three games in Dallas.
The other historic collapse cited by Elias happened in May 2002, when Boston rallied from a 74-53 deficit to beat New Jersey, 94-90. Can you guess the identity of New Jersey's point guard that day? Jason Kidd. Know what else happened? The Nets went on to that season's NBA Finals, losing to San Antonio.
Lame as this probably sounds to fans after the Mavericks' 18 loss in their last 20 road games, there is precedence of teams banding together after this kind of defeat, there is precedence of teams banding together after this kind of defeat. Of course, we all know the Mavericks failed to do that in 2006, when, with a 2-0 series lead, they blew a 13-point advantage in the final six minutes of Game 3 — and ultimately the series to Miami.
"There's a huge difference between being up 3-1 and 2-2," said Dirk Nowitzki, who along with Jason Terry is one of two Mavericks still around from 2006. "This is definitely up there with the most frustrating losses. But like I said, got to shake it off."
How can the Mavericks shake off an oh-no-not-again feeling?
Nowitzki said coach Rick Carlisle's main message was "we're all in this together. Coaches, general manager, we're all in this and we've got to stick together and grind it out."

The Family Support Program is a Program of Study. You must be accepted first to SSA and then by the individual Program of Study. SSA students apply during the winter of their first year.
The Family Support Program is designed for students who are interested in partnering with parents to support the development of their children. It offers particularly rich opportunities for students who would like to support families with infants and young children.
The Family Support Program is based on the premise that all families need support in raising their children, particularly at times of family transition, when facing illnesses or losses, or when facing difficult economic circumstances. At the core of the family support approach is a focus on the development of partnerships between the social worker and parent in service of promoting child and family strengths and preventing developmental problems. The family support approach acknowledges the diversity of family and cultural goals for children's development and recognizes that children's lives are grounded in community settings.
The approach emphasizes prevention and promotion, an ecological framework, and the connections between policy and practice. Students interested in family support can be in either the clinical or social administration concentration and have a field placement in an agency that practices family support principles. In addition to the Core, students will take two required courses and will be introduced to the theoretical principles and values underlying family support.
In the first course, students will examine programs that use family support principles and the evidence base for the effectiveness of such programs. Students will be introduced to a variety of direct practice techniques such as home visitation, parent support groups, and using videotape to help parents learn about parent-child interaction. An emphasis will be placed on relationship-based intervention, reflective practice, and strengths-based practice.
In the second course, students will examine contemporary policy questions of concern to families. They will consider demographic, labor market, and policy trends affecting family income, family structure, family time, and family care and specific policy and program responses in such areas as family leave, child care, income assistance, and marriage. Students will consider the ideological, conceptual, and empirical basis for the issues discussed.
Students in the Family Support program are eligible for a limited number of $3000 Brinks Family Support fellowships. Additional resources for student projects are available through the Irving B. Harris Infant Mental Health training program. Applications for the Family Support program are available in early winter quarter. Decisions are based on the fit between the program goals and student interests.
Family Support field placements for students in the clinical concentration might be at community agencies that offer parenting services and supports, programs providing childcare or after-school care, school-based programs supporting teenage parents, hospital newborn nurseries or units supporting families whose child has a non-psychiatric illness, and grief/bereavement programs.
Family Support placements for social administration students might be with child advocacy organizations, research institutes addressing children's needs, and organizations focused on work-family policy.
Graduates of SSA's Family Support program are leaders of government agencies and directors of community-based agencies.
Clinical students who have graduated from the Family Support program will have completed most of the classroom requirements for early intervention certification. Clinical students will also have received a good foundation for later pursuing licensure as an infant mental health provider or an early childhood mental health consultant.

Despite a popular perception that blacks and Jews no longer share a common core of values, their representatives in Congress have been closely aligned on key issues of concern to the two communities, a new study has shown.
The American Jewish Congress conducted a study of the voting patterns of the 399 members of the Congressional Black Caucus and the 32 Jewish members of the House of Representatives on issues important to the Jewish community.
The issue included foreign aid, public funding of private schools and school prayer.
The study built on work done by the black-led Joint Center for Political and Economic Studies, a highly respected Washington think tank that recently published a "report card" examining the voting records of congressional representatives on issues important to the black community.
The center looked at issues including low-income housing, alternatives for sentencing young people and gun control.
AJCongress analyzed the information and found that "Jewish members of Congress were far more likely to support votes by the Congressional Black Caucus than the other members of the House of Representatives," according to the report.
By the same token, "on vote after vote, black members of Congress supported the Jewish community position in significantly larger percentages than did other members of Congress."
The Jewish community position was represented in the study by the AJCongress position, which generally reflects the views of the community at large, but not always.
Jewish members of Congress supported the Black Caucus' position an average of 72 percent of the time, far in excess of the 49 percent average of the total House.
Likewise, an average of 79 percent of Black Caucus members supported Jewish issues, as opposed to 53 percent of the full House.
"There is more commonality than discordance" between the two ethnic groups when it comes to policy issues, said Flora Perskie, chairman of AJCongress' Commission on National Affairs, in a news conference Tuesday announcing the results.
Phil Baum, AJCongress executive director, said the purpose of the analysis was "to put the rumors of extremists in both communities to rest."
The study proves that the perception that blacks and Jews no longer share the dame interests is "unfounded and wrong," he said.
Also at the news conference was the Rev. Jesse Jackson who met with AJCongress leaders earlier that day.
"Over the centuries our interests have converged again and again. We must not underestimate our power to protect our interests when we coalesce," said Jackson, who serves as the non-voting shadow senator for D.C. statehood representing the District of Columbia.
Citing an example of how that coalition can work outside Congress, Jackson said that former Ku Klux Klan leader David Duke would be governor of Louisiana "if not for the black-Jewish coalition, since 55 percent of whites voted for him" in 1991.
The Rev. Al Sharpton also attended the news conference, though he did not speak.
The alignment of blacks and Jews in the House was in part based on the fact that the majority of both groups were Democrats, according to the report. Their relationship may shift in the newly elected Congress, where there will be nine fewer Jews and a greater proportion of Republicans.

BALTIMORE -- The Detroit Lions answered a few more questions during a 27-12 preseason victory against Baltimore on Friday.
Quarterback Matthew Stafford completed 12 of his 17 passes for 184 yards, had two touchdowns, and a whopping 145.2 passer rating. There is no question Stafford has another 5,000-yard passing season in him.
"I think we played at a much higher pace," Stafford said. "We were moving the ball consistently, just completing passes, getting first downs, and then the big plays come when they try to move up on us. It was fun."
Calvin Johnson proved why he is the NFL's best wide receiver, hauling in five passes for 111 yards and a touchdown. He had three receptions for 83 yards and a 18-yard touchdown during one scoring drive in the second quarter.
Johnson's performance left Baltimore linebacker Ray Lewis in awe.
"Listen now," Lewis said. "You're talking about a person who probably should be running track, but he chose football. He is a mismatch problem for a lot of people. The bottom line is you've just got to play him and make him earn his check. Today, he earned his money."
After struggling on its first two possessions, Detroit took a 17-9 lead into halftime.
Again, these were the highlights.
"You know we had some chunks (of offense) out there," Stafford said. "It took us a while to get going as an offense, but once we did, we got in that rhythm that I was talking about. It was fun being out there again for sure."
Detroit's first-team defense was not spectacular, but held Baltimore to six points before sitting. However, tackling is definitely an area needing improvement before the season begins.
There were other concerns from Friday's game.
Detroit struggled with penalties last season, and was flagged seven times for 73 yards in the first half against Baltimore. The Lions must find a way to clean up those mental errors that plague them.
The Lions' special teams unit gave up a 55-yard kickoff return, 85-yard punt return for a touchdown, but both runs were negated by Ravens penalties. Baltimore also recovered an onside kick in the fourth quarter against Detroit.
Keiland Williams was strong against Cleveland's second-team last week, but Detroit's running game struggled against Baltimore's first-team defense. Kevin Smith and Williams combined for eight carries and only 23 rushing yards in the first half. The pair did combine for six receptions for 54 yards.
Running back Joique Bell had 79 total yards, but lost a fumble deep in Ravens territory. Stephfon Green had 92 yards on the ground, including a 76-yard touchdown run late in the fourth quarter to seal the victory.
The Lions also added to their growing list of injuries.
Running back Stefan Logan and tight end Nathan Overbay injured their ankles, while linebacker Travis Lewis sustained a quad injury. They join defensive tackle Sammie Hill, running back Mikel Leshoure, safety Louis Delmas, cornerback Chris Greenwood, and defensive end Kyle Vanden Bosch as players recovering from injuries.
Detroit will travel to play the Oakland Raiders next Saturday.
