Then Loud Music Put Me to Sleep
by Brian Phillips · February 8, 2008
In keeping with the theme of this week's Tuesday Portrait, here's a video chronicling Iker Casillas's long one-sided friendship with implosion and catastrophe. Sometimes, after yet another night of stifled humiliation, catastrophe tosses the remains of its cigarette angrily into a parking-lot puddle and contemplates walking away. But in every relationship there's a gardener and a flower, and somewhere deep down catastrophe knows that it will go on being Casillas's sidekick for as long as he wants it around. This is Iker Casillas, and these are your 37 historical non-goals of the week.

She was a box of Sugar Babies; he was Dick in a Box. Later that night, they made out on the dance floor at Evil Olive in Wicker Park, and both of them knew it was something special. Three and a half years later, they became Jon and Jennifer Iwert.
She was a box of Sugar Babies; he was Dick in a Box. Later that night, they made out on the dance floor at Evil Olive in Wicker Park, and both of them knew it was something special. Three and a half years later, they became Jon and Jennifer Iwert.
Between the costumes and booze, Halloween is the chief holiday for acting like something you're not. Funny then, that as one of the biggest party nights of the year, it's also a great opportunity to meet people if you're single.
And, despite deliberate attempts to alter appearances and personality, true love can indeed be found.
For 26-year-old Jen Iwert, a senior financial analyst for US Cellular, it came at a party in 2008 wearing a polyester suit and a box strapped to its groin. Fortunately for Jon, she saw past the box.
"I think the mind-set definitely does change (on Halloween)," she said. "I see more flirting going on. The costumes act as two things in my opinion: a conversation starter and a means for an increase in confidence."
Although the details of their first encounter are a little--er, foggy--and he waited five days to finally ask her out, Jon recalled having no doubt in his mind in the days after that Jen might be the one.
"It's hard for me to remember that night exactly because I was pretty ripped, but I did walk into work on Monday morning and say 'I met the future Mrs. Iwert this weekend,' and I never said that before--ever," said Jon, a 28-year-old account executive at Aramark who lives in Wicker Park with Jen.
Not everyone's story is serendipitous, but Halloween usually makes a first encounter more memorable.
Alexandra Campione, 23, met her boyfriend Sam, 24, on Halloween 2010 when they were living in Orlando. She had kind of met him once before and encouraged their mutual friend to invite him to her party. She wasn't sure if he would come, but she carefully prepared in case.
"I kind of had an inkling he would be coming so I wanted to look cute and sexy but not too slutty and showing too much skin," Campione said. "So I decided to go as the classic schoolgirl, kind of inspired by the Britney Spears 'Baby One More Time' look with my own twist on it."
It was late into the party when Sam, now an assistant manager at Brasserie by LM in the South Loop, finally showed up---in a plaid shirt and black pants.
"I thought it was even more funny when he told me he didn't realize I was wearing a costume and he thought that's just what I wear," she said.
The two still managed to hit it off and moved to the South Loop together last year. That Halloween she got Sam to dress up as the Big Bad Wolf to her Little Red Riding Hood.
As much as wearing costumes can bring people together, so can general apathy for all the Halloween hoopla. George Panos, 25, of Mount Prospect, met his live-in 27-year-old girlfriend, Vicky, a teacher, on Halloween two years ago--on purpose.
The two had been messaging back and forth on match.com when they established that they didn't have--or care to have--any plans for Halloween night, a Sunday. So they decided it would be a great night to meet each other in person.
"She and I aren't big Halloween people to be perfectly honest," Panos said. "We both didn't like dressing up or anything like that."
They met at Yard House in Glenview for drinks and to watch the Pittsburgh Steelers, Panos' favorite football team. Sports has since remained one of their strongest common interests aside from not caring for Halloween; they will celebrate their two-year anniversary at the Bulls' home opener Halloween night.
"Instead of an actual holiday, we think about it as our anniversary instead," Panos said. "We look at it as we can dress up still, or we can do something for our anniversary."
For all these couples, Halloween has taken on a new sentimental value. This year, the Iwerts will be apart over Halloween weekend as Jen will be out of town visiting friends, but she'll be back in time for Wednesday.
"We will still be together on the actual date, and that is all that really matters," she said.
So for all the single trick-or-treaters this year, you never know who's out there and what pop-culture reference they might be hiding behind, but there's definitely a chance your Oct. 31 will never be the same again.

The story of Red Fox Literary began nine years ago when a young, novice editor named Abigail Samoun acquired her very first picture book from a talented agent named Karen Grencik. That book, author Sarah Wilson's George Hogglesberry, Grade School Alien, went on to win the coveted SCBWI Golden Kite Award. Not bad for a first collaboration.
In 2006, Karen left agenting to pursue adventures in the tropical forests of Costa Rica. Abigail and Karen's paths didn't cross again until the Los Angeles 2010 SCBWI National Conference, where Abigail was delighted to discover that Karen had returned to the States and was plunging back into the world of children's books. Karen and Abigail decided in March 2011 to form Red Fox Literary, a boutique agency specializing in picture books, middle-grade, and young-adult titles.
Red Fox Literary is pleased to announce its partnership with Hen & Ink, which will act as its foreign rights representative. Visit http://henandink.com/.
Abigail Samoun
uring her ten years as a children's book editor, ABIGAIL SAMOUN has edited board books, picture books, middle-grade novels, and young-adult novels for Tricycle Press, Random House, Simon & Schuster, and Little Brown. Her books have received numerous honors including a CCBC Charlotte Zolotow award, an SCBWI Golden Kite Award, a Pura Belpre Honor, a Smithsonian Notable, and a New York Public Library Ezra Jack Keats Award. Abigail also edited the middle-grade series Edgar & Ellen, which has sold over a half-a-million copies worldwide and has inspired a cartoon series on Nickelodeon.
Abigail loves books so much that she organizes her library according to which authors would get along well together (the Brontes next to George Elliot, Lois Lowry next to Margaret Atwood).
When she's not reading, Abigail likes to garden, play the piano, visit her apiary, and eat lots of chocolate.
Karen Grencik
alifornia native KAREN GRENCIK makes her home in Shell Beach, midway between Los Angeles and San Francisco. A court reporter by training, Karen initially launched her own literary agency in 1999 to champion writers and manuscripts she discovered on the Central Coast of California.
The opening chapter of The Karen Grencik Literary Agency was an astounding success, propelled largely by Karen's major sale of the middle grade memoir Double Luck: Memoirs of a Chinese Orphan by Lu Chi Fa with Becky White. Karen quickly found herself on the New York publishing circuit and in regular contact with editors and publishers, while also finding time to be a favorite presenter at several West Coast writers' conferences.
Karen signed new clients and sold award-winning titles. Among the awards garnered by her authors are the Parents' Choice Gold Award for Best Nonfiction, the SCBWI Golden Kite Award for Best Picture Book, and the Benjamin Franklin Award for Best New Fiction.
Karen regularly consults with Emma D. Dryden, former children's book publisher and founder of the children's editorial consultancy company, drydenbks. Karen's mentor, San Francisco agent Linda Allen, will partner on special projects with Red Fox Literary as needed.
Karen's philosophy is simple: "When you choose to write children's books, it's just that—it's a choice. You do it because you love it. You do it because it fills you with passion. You do it because it brings you joy. You are among the lucky ones who live life with purpose. But you also must do everything you can possibly think of to achieve your goals.
"And you must be nice."

Being told improve the content is just telling me to do what I have been doing for the last few years anyway. The question is what else should I do?

Dinners in Madrid
Taking the family of adventuresome eaters to Madrid in March. We love a few suggestions of some great restaurants with a real local flavor. We are not fans of tourist heavy locations. Does not have to be spanish only food - we are open to anything and everything.
Some suggestions for touring the regional cuisines in Madrid:

http://www.txirimiri.es/nuestra-carta/Cider House: 'Zerain' on Calle Quevedo 3. Recos: cider from the barrel, chuletón (beef steak), tortilla de bacalao (cod fish omelet).
http://www.restaurante-vasco-zerain-sidreria.es/bodega.phpSpanish cuisine with a creative twist: Viridiana. Ask the chef for recommendations.
re: JuanDoe
JuanDoe, have been reading your recommendations hungrily. Had planned on a dinner at Laredo our first evening ( a Monday when many choices are closed) for the lamb (for me) and sucking pig experience (for my husband). How does this compare with El Senador?
We will be arriving in Madrid for 4 nights late May after 3 nights of tapas experience. Lua is also on my list. I recommended it to a colleague who just returned from Spain. He thought it might have been the best meal of his ife and recommended I book it twice!
Susan, we are staying in your recommended apartment. El Cisne Azul looks great for lunch and Calle Brava will be dinner one night-am focused on Casa Lucas, Xentes and Txirimiri for tapas.
Need to fit a few more lunches and perhaps one more dinner. Thalnks for any and all recommendations.
We loved the food in Madrid - there are some wonderful restaurants. Here's the link to my trip report - http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/874144

Living Green
With a strong commitment to environmental sustainability, Renaissance Homes is the largest local builder building 100% green. Our belief in creating the most environmentally friendly homes ensures your home to be high performance and energy efficient. All Renaissance Homes are LEED® certified in the city of Portland and offer many Energy Star® rated products. This means they have been designed to be more comfortable for you and better for the environment. By using earth friendly materials and practices, Renaissance Homes will ensure sustainability for you and your family. All LEED® homes include sustainable features that promote high energy efficiency, healthier indoor air, resource efficiency and environmental responsibility.
Indoor Air Quality
The air inside your home makes a difference in how you feel every day, and indoor air quality is a high priority in the construction of a Renaissance home. With features like air filtration systems, controlled ventilation and low-toxic building materials, a Renaissance Home may allow you to breathe a little easier.
Energy Efficiency
At minimum, a LEED® certified Renaissance Home is designed to improve energy efficiency by 15% over a conventionally built home. The incorporation of products such as energy-efficient windows, appliances, mechanical systems and light fixtures can add up to lower energy usage and greater comfort year round. Year after year, Living Green saves significant money on energy bills, is friendlier to the environment and gives you peace of mind.
Resource Responsibility
Highly efficient appliances save energy and conserve our region's resources. Many items can be made with a high-recycled content, ceramic tile, paint and insulation. Composite engineered wood products are used whenever possible – such as floor joists. Fiber-cement siding dramatically reduces demand on forest products and it performs better over the long-term.
Environmental Responsibility
The same building materials in a Renaissance Home that improve indoor air quality also contribute to a cleaner environment, as less toxic products reduce environmental pollutants. Our homes also employ site measures that minimize environmental impact such as recycling job site debris, preserving topsoil and trees and using native plants in the landscaping.
Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design, (LEED), is an internationally recognized green building certification system, providing third-party verification that a building or community was designed and built using strategies intended to improve performance in metrics such as energy savings, water efficiency, CO2 emissions reduction, improved indoor environmental quality and stewardship of resources and sensitivity to their impacts.
Developed by the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC), LEED is intended to provide builders a concise framework for identifying and implementing practical and measurable green building design, construction, operations and maintenance solutions.
Rain Screen
Since early 2003, Renaissance Homes has built all of their homes in the Portland metro and Vancouver/ Clark County areas with an exterior cladding system that is known as Rain Screen. Renaissance realizes that the average consumer may not be aware of these new and innovative building practices. Therefore, we offer the following description of the Rain Screen system.
Wet conditions are part of our climate here in the Northwest. Renaissance Rain Screen is a moisture management system designed to address and protect against the causes of water intrusion and the resulting damage that it can cause to a home.
Moisture in many forms is prevalent in our Northwest climate. Over the years, builders in this region have come to expect those leaks as a "cost of doing business". The typical construction method for most area builders has the exterior cladding system fastened firmly to the homes plywood or oriented strand board sheathing, which in turn, is attached directly to the homes studs. When a leak or water penetration occurs with this type of construction, the water is literally forced through the wall and can spread in many different locations by a principal known as capillary action. The Rain Screen system addresses this problem.
While there are different types of Rain Screen and many options used to meet the Oregon Code Requirement of a gap behind siding systems in residential construction, Oregon Building Codes Division acknowledges that a Pressure-Equalized Rain Screen (PER) system is best practice in fulfilling this requirement. State requirements of a drainage gap began with the 2008 Specialty Code. However, Renaissance Homes Pressure-Equalized Rain Screen was designed by industry leaders and has been in use since early 2003. Many quality homebuilders endeavor to follow in our footsteps due the Rain Screen's proven superiority over conventional siding systems. Please note that Renaissance Homes Rain Screen System has been specifically engineered to supersede local building codes and traditional siding instillation recommendations.
The 'Renaissance Homes Rain Screen System' has been engineered by a licensed building envelope engineering firm for the exclusive use of Renaissance Homes. This proprietary building envelope engineering supersedes local building code requirements.
Here are a few resources to describe Rain Screen technology and specifically the Pressure-Equalized Rain Screen System:
National Association of Home Builders Research Center
Renaissance Homes sets the bar with superior construction techniques.
Disclaimer: The information on the system presented herein is provided for informational purposes only. Renaissance Homes does not provide warranty, either expressed or implied, regarding the accuracy or completeness of information listed in the above external links.
Energy Performance Score, EPS
Energy efficiency, utility costs and environmental impact are important factors to consider when buying or building a home. The EPS now gives homebuyers a way to comparison shop between homes based on these factors. It also gives homebuyers a sense of how many energy upgrades were made to the house beyond what Oregon energy code requires, and how the home compares to an average home built in Oregon. More information is available at Energy Trust of Oregon.
Polar Blanket Insulation
Fiberglass Blown-in Insulation Systems (also known as the Polar Blanket) is the latest green building technique used by Renaissance Homes. This system improves a home's efficiency by filling the wall cavity completely, including the areas around pipes, cables and outlets. Polar Blanket gets into all the voids where traditional insulation can't protect, creating a "blanket" of insulation and making a more energy efficient home. The Polar Blanket decreases air going through the wall cavity as it is applied as a dense pack application. The R-Value of polar Blanket is 23 and significantly helps reduce monthly utility costs by reducing air infiltration through the cavity walls.
Open Web Floor Trusses
Open web truss joists allows for easier and faster mechanical systems installation (plumbing, electrical, HVAC). Mechanical systems are installed within the floor's framing rather than hanging below. All the heat ducts run between the floors. This eliminates ducting in the attic or crawlspace and saves energy by NOT pushing heated air into a cold crawl space in the winter or sending cool air into a hot attic in the summer. The joists allow the heat ducts to be shorter and much more efficient. Any heat or cooling lost in the ductwork remains in the livable space. Plumbing lines run straighter and shorter allowing less pipe to be installed resulting in hot water savings. Energy experts estimate that open web floor trusses can save significantly, up to 16%, on your monthly heating and cooling bills.
Renaissance Homes was featured in an HVAC case study regarding open web ducts. Read the study.

GM studies driver attention in semi-autonomous cars GM is looking at ways in which semi-autonomous driving technologies, which could be available in production vehicles by mid-decade, will influence driver behavior. When drivers were engaged in non-driving activities (think texting), the researchers observed that the participants split their visual attention between the roadway and secondary tasks by making relatively frequent but brief off-road glances. GM and other auto manufacturers are at work adding sensors and automated actions to cars, but the designers are very conscious of the fact that drivers still need to keep an eye on the road to monitor the car and its safety. "One of the things it takes to manage a driver's attention is to keep track of where the driver is paying attention.

Color Toolbar Missing in Pages (crayons only option)
PeterBreis0807 Australia
There should be an oval shaped button at the top right corner of the Palette's bar, this reveals the other options in a weird bit of OSX UI.
I can't see it in your snap but try clicking where it should be.
I'm currently in Snow Leopard so this possibly is part of Lions "improvements."

Peggy Covington/Lake Morton, WA, USA
As Peter said, this is one of Lion's "improvements" that I guess is to keep users from accidentally hiding the choices. Clicking where the oval used to be doesn't work nor does any resizing of the palette window. Since it does work in other apps for you, it would seem to be specific to Pages. Deleting the Pages preference file is a good troubleshooting step. Go to (your account) > Library > Preferences & delete the com.apple.iwork.pages.plist & restart Pages. The door to the user's Library is hidden in Lion but it is easy to open. In Finder, hold down the Option key while clicking on the Go menu & your users Library will appear about halfway down the list.

Tennessee is second in the nation with six players in the NFL's Top 100 for 2011, yet again raising questions about why Lane Kiffin thought it wise to sell recruits on his former program instead of the Vols during his time in Knoxville.

The NCAA has asked to speak with Bryce Brown about Tennessee's recruiting practices under Lane Kiffin, and comments from Brown's father that any mistakes were unintentional are disconcerting for Vols fans.

the small screen to the silver screen
Wednesday, May 25th, 2011
Sad Ninja slaved over a hot laptop for many months and finally finished our first feature film screenplay. After editing and re-editing and sharpening jokes and smoothing out story bumps, we got the script to a place that we thought it was screen-worthy and invited a dozen or so of our actor friends over to do a full read through to see what it would sound like coming out of other people for once. The response we got was overwhelmingly good, and lucky for us, a major producer was in attendance and soon after the read through, optioned our script with the intention to shop it to major studios for wide distribution. Who knows if it'll ever turn into anything as Lady Hollywood is a fickle mistress, but it's very encouraging. We're shopping it around to financiers, lead actors and directors right now.
We also finished our three new shorts and I present them to you in all of their glory:

The Braves were finally able to rest following 20 straight days of games, but it's back to the grind this weekend against the New York Mets at Citi Field.
The Mets have lost four in a row and have a losing record at home (22-28), but have won the last two series against the Braves. They're also without Carlos Beltran, whom they traded to the Giants July 28 and closer Francisco Rodriguez, traded to Milwaukee July 12. They sit 16 games out of first in the NL East while the Braves are 8.5 games back, but have a 2.5-game lead in the Wild Card.
Friday, August 5, 7:10 p.m. EDT
Hudson is coming off a dominant outing against Florida, tossing seven innings and allowing only one run. He has struggled against the Mets this year though, as he's lost both starts against them (8 IP, 7 ER).
Dickey took the loss in his last start, allowing three runs over six innings, and has a 4.50 ERA since the All-Star Break. However, he could provide the biggest obstacle in Dan Uggla's quest to extend his 25-game hitting streak: Uggla is 0 for 15 in his career against Dickey.
Saturday, August 6, 7:10 p.m. EDT
Hanson walked four and took the loss in his last start against Florida. The four walks are the most he's issued since June 7, also against Florida when he walked five. He lost his last start against the Mets, but has otherwise been dominant against them, posting a 2.27 ERA in six starts.
Niese posted a July ERA of 4.66 and had a no-decision in his last start July 31. He leads the team in strikeouts (116) and has walked only four in 23.1 innings since the Break. He won his last start against the Braves back on June 14.
Sunday, August 7, 1:10 p.m. EDT
Jurrjens has fallen on hard times lately: six of the 11 home runs he has allowed have come in his last four starts and he has a 6.26 ERA since the Break. This will be his fifth attempt at his 13th win of the season.
Gee has given the Braves fits this year, winning two of his three starts and allowing only one run in 16.2 innings against them. He will walk a few if hitters are patient enough: he has a 1.32 K:BB ratio in his last 10 starts (25 BB, 33 K).
Since David Wright's return from the DL July 22, all he's done is hit .392 (20 for 51) with 13 RBI. Now that Beltran is no longer a Met, no other player has more than eight home runs, that being Wright. Daniel Murphy takes over the RBI lead with 48. Murphy had a nine-game hitting streak broken August 2; he's hitting .319 overall.
Lucas Duda has replaced Beltran in right field, but so far hasn't replaced his bat: Duda is only 4 for 19 since Beltran was traded.
Jason Bay still hasn't produced at the level expected of him this year, but comes into the series with a modest six-game hitting streak (10 for 23) that has pushed his average to .239. As a team, the Mets are second in the NL with a .266 batting average and a .335 OBP.
As always, Jose Reyes ignites the offense: his .339 average leads the NL and accompanies a .379 OBP. His 32 steals are second in the NL to Atlanta's newest acquisition, Michael Bourn. Reyes has struck out only 30 times in 419 at-bats this year.
The Mets 4.01 ERA ranks in the bottom half of the NL; starters have posted a 3.96 ERA with a 4.12 FIP while the bullpen has posted a 4.11 ERA and a 3.90 FIP. When the Mets traded Francisco Rodriguez, many people assumed Bobby Parnell would take over the closer role. However, Jason Isringhausen has been closing games of late. Parnell has allowed six runs in nine innings since the Break while Isringhausen has recorded five saves in his last eight outings despite allowing seven runs over his last four appearances.

The public quests also come into play in the Realm vs Realm combat that is one of AoR's key features. Even when you're not in a zone where direct player combat is allowed, there are public quests where the two sides act antagonistically towards each other, with competing rewards.
RvR is best shown in the full campaign game, powered by player vs player combat. It centers on the six races in the game, divided into three warring pairs. These are The Empire and Chaos; Orcs versus Dwarves; Elves versus Dark Elves.
When you enter the PvP areas, there's a string of five zones between the two capitals. Depending on the number of victories in an area, zones will be annexed under the power of one side. These points are accumulated from everything from individual confrontations in the zone, to the elaborate instanced games where opposing teams work against each other in scenarios built around domination and CTF mechanics. Eventually, you'll reach the capital city. Victory there will lead to a mass sacking of the city - a huge free-for all, with rewards aplenty - before the loser is empowered to push the armies back to the central zone. And until the losing side does something about it, their ruler is kept in the winner's capital city, in the stocks, to be humiliated with everything from tomatoes to farting on their head. Bragging rights really do matter.

"Moreover, a good solution for unrequited love is, of course, new love." Lucinda Rosenfeld, Slate.com, Nov 16 2010
Where there's unrequited, there's requited. So what does requite mean? To requite (a somewhat quaint term) is to give or do something in return for something that another person has given or done.
So 'unrequited love' suggests an imbalance: too much love paid out and too little paid back.

Arnold Arboretum Notes
Posted by Carol Stocker
Thinking about joining the Friends of the Arboretum or renewing your membership? The Members' Plant Giveaway is on on Saturday, September 15. Free plant quantities are determined by membership level, and attendees may also participate in special drawings for remarkable plants. Experts will be on hand to help you with selections and to answer your woody plant questions.
You can apply as a School Programs volunteer guide and train to lead small groups of schoolchildren through an active learning program about plants and the natural world. Prospective guides must be able to volunteer for a minimum of two seasons, and prior experience with teaching, counseling, or volunteering with children is preferred. Training sessions begin this month, focused on introducing new guides to the basics of botany, the curriculum of the Arboretum's diverse field studies, and the Arboretum landscape as an outdoor classroom. Call Nancy Sableski, Manager of Children's Education, at 617.384.5239 for more information.
Arboretum members enjoy reciprocal benefits at gardens and arboreta affiliated with the American Horticultural Society, though some restrictions may apply for institutions within a 90-mile radius of the Arboretum. During Massachusetts Botanic Gardens Reciprocal Membership Week, August 11-19, members of any of nine participating institutions in the Commonwealth can enjoy free admission and other benefits when visiting these sites.
Curatorial Assistant Susan Hardy Brown has prepared specimens for the Arboretum's herbaria for a quarter century, utilizing aesthetic sensibilities cultivated in her vocation as a visual artist. Continuing this month in the Hunnewell Building, Ex Herbario is an exhibition of more than 50 pieces that evocatively incorporate some of the materials and ephemera associated with her daily work with plants collected from all over the world. Her paintings and constructions renew these found materials and offer viewers a unique perspective into the realm of preserving plants for identification and long-term study.
See current and upcoming exhibitions...
Celebrating its tenth anniversary this summer, the M. Victor and Frances Leventritt Garden holds a unique plant collection that includes a diverse selection of vines suitable for New England landscapes. The Arboretum grows more than 100 accessions of vines, which climb on modular steel trellises, grow along the fieldstone walls, and cling to the supports of the garden's open-air pavilion. A member of the buttercup family, clematis is a vine that climbs with twining petioles and bears flowers highly prized for their showy sepals and stamens. Its pollinated pistils expand and curl to form a round, feathery seed head that extends its ornamental interest into the fall.
Enjoy plants in our Featured Collection...
Three 30-foot-tall, 23-year-old ginkgos growing near the Arboretum's Bussey Street Gate are being studied from top to bottom as part of the first-ever effort to define the entire community of microbes found on the above-ground surfaces of a large tree. Senior Research Scientist Peter Del Tredici and Arboretum Director Ned Friedman are collaborating with Noah Fierer, Jon Leff, and Samantha Weintraub from the University of Colorado to sample and analyze the trees' microbiome--the complete record of their microbial associates. While the microbiome of humans has been well studied, those of plants are largely unknown. This project hopes to fill this gap by identifying what species of microbes live on these trees and how they vary according to their location from top to bottom as well as from north to south.

SILVER SPRING, Md. — The Food and Drug Administration has approved a drug for rheumatoid arthritis ahead of the day the agency was scheduled to decide whether or not to approve it, the agency said Tuesday.
The FDA announced the approval of Pfizer's Xeljans (tofacitinib) for adults with moderately to severely active RA who have responded inadequately or can't tolerate methotrexate, a commonly used generic drug for the disease. The FDA had been scheduled to decide whether or not to approve the drug on Nov. 21. RA affects about 1.5 million Americans, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
"Xeljanz provides a new treatment option for adults suffering from the debilitating disease of RA who have had a poor response to methotrexate," FDA Division of Pulmonary, Allergy and Rheumatology Products director Badrul Chowdhury said.

CEDAR BLUFF, Va. —
The Tazewell County Sheriff's Office issued a media advisory this afternoon stating that Tazewell County, Va., emergency dispatch personnel "have been inundated with numerous calls" asking if Eric Smith has been found and asking further questions "regarding a myriad of rumors."
Major Harold Heatley of the Tazewell County Sheriff's Office urged the media to help spread the message "that there are no new developments" in the case and to add "no arrests have been made." He added that people should call only if they have new information about Smith's whereabouts, but to "stop calling our dispatch center as every time they call, they tie up precious resources that may be needed elsewhere."
The Cedar Bluff Police Department is in charge of the incident and will provide all updates, according to Heatley's email message.

Boone said Thursday after Ole Miss' win over South Carolina that the UMAA Foundation met with Larry Sparks, Ole Miss' Vice Chancellor for Administration and Finance, a little over a year ago about the future of the "Tad Pad" and how improving the aged facility would not only benefit the athletics department, but the overall university student body.

Game Overview
Fable is a role-playing game developed by Lionhead Studios and released on Microsoft Windows and Xbox. It was spearheaded by star developer Peter Molyneux and was a revolutionary RPG for its time. The game began with you in control of a young boy or girl and created a world around you that allowed you to grow up to become whatever type of "Hero" you wanted to be. You would slowly age to roughly 65 years old and over the course of that time, you could build a legacy by being either good or evil. As time passed, people would recognize you for your deeds. While there was a main story and clearly a game to play, how you formed your life didn't end there. You could also invest or buy shops around various villages, buy houses, marry and start family's as well, allowing you to inject as much of yourself into your avatar as possible.
To foster your ability to make all of these choices and leave such a legacy, a rather lighthearted world was created which was in stark contrast to the frequently dark RPG styles of the time. This allowed you to enjoy the positives of the world or see what it was that you were destroying by being either good or evil. While many mechanics have changed throughout the Fable Franchise the games unique charm and ability to partake not just in the story but the world have become the defining characteristics of the game. Originally released on September 14, 2004, it quickly garnered an Enhanced Edition called "Fable: The Lost Chapters" the following year, several sequels and a rerelease for the Xbox 360 called "Fable Anniversary" scheduled for holiday 2013.

Pleasure P - Who's Gonna Love U
Artist: Pleasure P
Producer: K.E. On The Track
Album: Untitled (TBD)
Avg Rating: 3.0 ( 17 total votes )
While DJBooth always focuses on the music, we'll let the fine folks at the gossip sites bury themselves in dirt, I'd be remiss if I didn't at least mention that the last few months have been rocky for Pleasure P. Hoping to put all the drama behind him and get people once again talking about his song skills, Pleasure is back with potential new single Who's Gonna Love U, making its world premiere right here, right now. Produced by K.E. On The Track, who lays down a bouncing, synth heavy beat that straddles the line between pop and r&b, Who's Gonna Love U is the tale of man who may have done wrong, but still knows that his lady won't get better love anywhere else. With hitmaker Rico Love penning the lyrics and Pleasure's always smooth voice gliding over the record this sounds like radio will eat it up, but you just never know until DJBooth Nation gets to commenting; get to it people. In the meantime, P's upcoming sophomore album is still awaiting an official title and release date, so you'll just have to keep it locked for more.
