Why would this drug be used?
Pazopanib is used to treat kidney cancer and soft tissue sarcoma. It is also being studied for use against other types of cancer.
How does this drug work?
This drug is a type of targeted therapy known as a known as a kinase inhibitor. Kinases are proteins on or near the surface of a cell that transmit signals to the cell's control center. Pazopanib inhibits several kinase proteins (VEGFR-1, VEGFR-2, VEGFR-3, PDGFR-A, PDGFR-B, FGFR-1, FGFR-3, Kit, Itk, Lck, and c-Fms). These proteins either prompt tumor cells to grow and divide or help form new blood vessels (angiogenesis) that feed the tumor. By blocking these proteins, pazopanib may help stop the growth of cancer cells.
Before taking this medicine
Tell your doctor…
- If you are allergic to anything, including medicines, dyes, additives, or foods.
- If you have ever had high blood pressure. Pazopanib may raise blood pressure. Your blood pressure should be well controlled before starting this drug, and your doctor will likely monitor it closely during treatment.
- If you have any type of liver disease (including hepatitis). This drug can cause severe liver damage in some people. Your doctor may need to reduce your dose of this drug, and will monitor lab tests of liver function closely while you are on this drug. Some patients with liver problems may not be able to take this drug at all.
- If you have ever been diagnosed with heart disease, including heart attack, congestive heart failure, long Q-T syndrome, heart rhythm problems, or very slow heart rate. Pazopanib may weaken the heart muscle, change its rhythm, and cause other heart problems, especially in people known to have heart disease.
- Let the doctor know if you have had low levels of potassium or magnesium in the blood, which can increase your chances of having a heart rhythm problem with this drug.
- If you have ever had a hole or tear (perforation) in your stomach or intestine, or if you have ever had a fistula (abnormal connection between 2 parts of the intestine).
- If you have had any unusual bleeding in the past 6 months, such as coughing up blood or having blood in your stools. This drug may make bleeding worse, which in some cases may even be life threatening.
- If you have thyroid problems or if you've taken medicines for your thyroid. This drug could make these worse.
- If you are planning to have surgery or any dental procedure soon, or if you've had any recently. This drug may affect wound healing, so it should be stopped at least a week before any surgery.
- If you have any other medical conditions such as kidney disease, diabetes, gout, or infections. These conditions may require that your medicine dose, regimen, or timing be changed.
- If you think you may want to have children in the future. Some drugs can cause sterility. Talk with your doctor about options that may preserve your ability to have children.
- If you are pregnant, trying to get pregnant, or if there is any chance of pregnancy. This drug can cause problems with the fetus if taken at the time of conception or during pregnancy. Men and women who are taking this drug should use some kind of birth control during and for at least 2 weeks after finishing treatment. It is important to check with your doctor about what kinds of birth control can be used with this medicine. In pregnant women, treatment with this drug should be used only if the potential benefit to the mother outweighs the risk to the fetus.
- If you are breast-feeding. While no studies have been done, this drug may pass into breast milk and affect the baby. Breast-feeding is not recommended during treatment with this drug.
- About any other prescription or over-the-counter medicines you are taking, including vitamins and herbs. In fact, keeping a written list of each of these medicines (including the doses of each and when you take them) with you in case of emergency may help prevent complications if you get sick.
Interactions with other drugs
Certain medicines can interfere with the breakdown (metabolism) of pazopanib, leading to an increase in serious side effects. These include:
- Anti-fungal drugs such as ketoconazole, itraconazole, and voriconazole
- Antiviral drugs that are used to treat HIV infection, such as atazanavir, saquinavir, ritonavir, amprenavir, indinavir, nelfinavir, and delaviridine
- Antibiotics such as clarithromycin, erythromycin, and telithromycin
- Nefazodone, an antidepressant
- Dextromethorphan (used in cough medicines)
- Simvastatin (Zocor) raises the risk of liver damage when used with pazopanib. It is unclear whether other cholesterol-lowering drugs in the statin family such as atorvastatin (Lipitor), lovastatin (Mevacor), pravastatin (Pravachol), or rosuvastatin (Crestor) have similar effects; talk with your doctor or pharmacist
Other drugs can lower blood levels of pazopanib, so that it is less likely to work against the cancer. These are:
- Dexamethasone
- Phenytoin (Dilantin)
- Carbamazepine (Tegretol)
- Phenobarbital
- Rifampin, rifampicin, and rifabutin (used to treat TB and other unusual infections)
- St. John's Wort, an herbal supplement
If other drugs that affect the heart's rhythm or electrical impulses are taken there is an increased risk of a serious abnormal heart rhythm that could lead to death. Examples of these drugs include:
- Amiodorone (Cordarone, Pacerone)
- Disopyramide (Norpace)
- Dofetilide (Tikosyn)
- Flecainide (Rhythmol)
- Ibutilide (Corvert)
- Mexiletine (Mexitil)
- Moricizine (Ethmozine)
- Procainamide (Procan, Pronestyl)
- Propafenone (Tambocor)
- Quinidine (Quinidex, Cardioquin)
- Tocainide (Tonocard)
Beta blocker drugs also slow the heart rate and can worsen effects on the heart. This class includes drugs like acebutolol (Sectral), atenolol (Tenormin), bisoprolol (Zebeta), esmolol (Brevibloc), metoprolol (Lopressor, Lopressor LA, Toprol XL), nadolol (Corgard), propranolol (Inderal), sotalol (Betapace), and timolol (Blocadren).
Other drugs that lower the heart rate can magnify the effects of pazopanib. Check with your doctor or pharmacist to find out if you are on other drugs with this effect.
Other drugs that can prolong the QT interval of the heart can increase the effects of pazopanib on the heart; these are some of the more common drugs:
- Anti-psychotic drugs such as thioridazine (Mellaril), haloperidol (Haldol), mesoridazine (Serentil), chlorpromazine (Thorazine), pimozide (Orap), droperidol (Inapsine), ziprasidone (Geodon)
- Certain antibiotics such as erythromycin (EES, EMycin, Ery-Tab), clarithromycin, telithromycin (Ketek), levofloxacin (Levaquin), ofloxacin (Floxin), moxifloxacin (Avelox), sparfloxacin (Zagam), pentamidine (Pentam, Nebupent)
- Antidepressants such as fluoxetine (Prozac, Sarafem), citalopram (Celexa), paroxetine (Paxil), venlafaxine (Effexor), amitriptyline (Elavil), imipramine (Tofranil), nortriptyline (Pamelor), desipramine (Norpramin), doxepin (Sinequan), and others
- Anti-fungals such as ketoconazole (Nizoral), itraconazole (Sporanox), fluconazole (Diflucan), voriconazole
- Opioids such as methadone (Dolophine, Methadose)
- Antimalarials such as quinine (Quinaglute, Duraquin)
- Nausea medicines such as granisetron (Kytril), ondansetron (Zofran), dolasetron (Anzemet)
- Asthma drugs such as salmeterol (Serevent), formoterol (Foradil)
This is not a complete list of drugs that may interact with pazopanib in a harmful way. Check with your pharmacist before starting any new medicines.
Interactions with foods
Grapefruit or grapefruit juice may cause the level of pazopanib in your blood to become high, which can lead to increased side effects and toxicity. Avoid grapefruit while you take this medicine.
Do not take pazopanib with food. It affects the way the drug is absorbed and can greatly increase the risk of toxic effects.
Tell all the doctors, dentists, nurses, and pharmacists you visit that you are taking this drug.
How is this drug taken or given?
This drug is given in pill form once a day. Tablets should be swallowed whole and not broken or crushed. The most common starting dose is 800 mg (as two 400 mg tablets) once a day. This drug should be taken on an empty stomach, at least an hour before or 2 hours after eating.
Pazopanib can cause liver damage, which in some cases may be life threatening. This drug should be used at a lower dose (or not at all) in patients with known liver problems. Lab tests of liver function should be checked before treatment is started, and then again periodically as long as treatment continues. Tell your doctor right away if you notice your skin or the whites of your eyes turning yellow, pain in the right upper part of the belly, or if your urine becomes dark. These can be signs of liver damage.
This drug can increase your risk of serious infection. Be sure to let your doctor or nurse know right away if you have any signs of infection, such as fever (100.5° or higher), chills, pain when passing urine, abdominal pain, reddened skin, tenderness, swelling or pus, a new cough, or bringing up sputum.
Pazopanib can affect the heart's rhythm and prolong the QT interval (slow down the electrical impulses in the heart). It should be used with caution in people with known heart problems, so tell your doctor if you have ever been diagnosed with heart disease. Your doctor will test your heart rhythm with an EKG and will test your blood levels of certain minerals that could affect heart rhythm before you start treatment and several times during treatment. Report any episodes of fast, slow, or irregular heartbeat, chest pain, lightheadedness, dizziness, shortness of breath, or fainting to your doctor right away. These changes can be life-threatening.
In rare cases, pazopanib can cause the heart to pump less effectively, allowing fluid to back up in the lungs and make it hard to breathe. It can also cause swelling of the feet, ankles and legs, along with sudden weight gain due to fluid buildup.
Problems with bleeding from the stomach, lungs, and brain have been seen in some patients taking pazopanib. This bleeding was fatal in a few cases. This drug should not be given to patients who have had recent problems with severe bleeding from these areas. Speak with your doctor before taking any drugs or supplements that might affect your body's ability to stop bleeding, such as aspirin or aspirin-containing medicines, warfarin (Coumadin), or vitamin E. Tell your doctor right away if you have unusual bruising, or bleeding such as nosebleeds, bleeding gums when you brush your teeth, or black, tarry stools.
Patients taking pazopanib have an increased risk of certain serious problems caused by blood clots, such as heart attack, angina, pulmonary embolus (blood clot in the lungs), stroke, and transient ischemic attack (TIA). This drug should be used with caution in patients who already have a high risk of these problems, and it should not be used at all in patients who have had any of these problems recently (within the past 6 months). Get help right away if you have chest pain, trouble breathing, trouble moving or speaking, dizziness, or other serious symptoms.
Rarely, patients taking this drug can develop a disorder involving clots in small blood vessels (including capillaries), destruction of red blood cells, and low levels of platelets, such as thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura and hemolytic uremic syndrome. Other signs and symptoms of these syndromes can include bruising, red dots on the skin, fever, kidney problems, confusion, headache, or symptoms like a stroke. Although the symptoms can be vague, let your doctor know if you notice easy bruising, blood in the urine, or other easy bleeding; paleness, yellow skin, dizziness, trouble moving or speaking, severe headache, muscle or joint aches, fever, or abdominal pain.
This drug can cause problems with wound healing and should be stopped at least a week before any planned surgery. This drug can slow the healing of ulcers in the stomach and intestine. This can lead to the ulcer growing through the wall (of the stomach or intestine), a condition called perforation.
Pazopanib can cause high blood pressure. Patients should have normal blood pressure before starting this drug, and blood pressure should be checked regularly while the patient is taking pazopanib. Get help if you have severe chest pain, severe headache, shortness of breath, seizures, or loss of consciousness (passing out).
This drug may cause the thyroid gland to become underactive, a condition called hypothyroidism. Symptoms of hypothyroidism include fatigue and tiredness, weight gain, feeling cold, and constipation. The diagnosis can be made with a simple blood test, and it can easily be treated with medicine. Patients on pazopanib should be watch for signs and symptoms of hypothyroidism.
Pazopanib can cause damage to the kidneys leading to the finding of protein in the urine. The drug should be stopped if this becomes severe.
Rarely, pazopanib can cause holes (perforations) in the digestive tract, or passageways that aren't supposed to be there (fistulas). Both of these can be life-threatening. Tell your doctor or nurse right away if you have any severe stomach (abdominal) pain, especially if you also have nausea, vomiting, constipation, fever, if you are vomiting blood, or if you have red or very dark colored stools.
Rarely this drug can cause a syndrome of seizures, headache, high blood pressure, confusion or change in mental status, and loss of vision (reversible posterior leukoencephalopathy syndrome, also called RPLS). Call your doctor if you have any of these symptoms.

D/FW AIRPORT - For the first time since entering bankruptcy last fall, American Airlines announced that it will consider the benefits of a merger.
American has agreed to consider potential merger scenarios with its unsecured creditors committee, which includes Boeing, three labor unions, and five other parties in the company's bankruptcy.
"The actions contemplated by the agreement include developing potential consolidation scenarios, but the agreement is not an indication that the company intends to pursue a transaction of any kind," American said in a statement.
The development is significant since Horton and American have ignored recent advances from US Airways, and always insisted they intended to go it alone and emerge from bankruptcy as a single carrier.
The agreement is the result of a number of secret meetings between American and its unsecured creditors over the last three weeks.
News of it finally surfaced late Friday afternoon as American Airlines executives were at D/FW Airport showing off Boeing's new 787 Dreamliner to the media.
"American plans to take up to 100 of these remarkable airplanes," Tom Horton, American Airlines CEO, told a couple hundred employees in Hangar 5. "Take a good look. This is the future of our airline."
But for all the talk about the future, Horton never acknowledged the airline's softening stance on merger talk.
Horton walked away from reporters questions at the event.
The Allied Pilots Association, which represents American's pilots, said it was encouraged by the airline agreeing to consider the benefits of consolidation.
"This is the plan we've been pursuing for sometime now," said Scott Shankland, Allied Plots Association. "Our first option would be to have American Airlines management participate in that."
Earlier Friday, about 300 union members marched to American's Fort Worth headquarters to deliver thousands of signatures on petitions which said they have "no confidence" in the airline's own restructuring plan.
American insists it is only considering what's best for the company, and restated that this is no indication a merger is in the works.
But this development is the closest the company has ever come, at least publicly, to considering consolidation.

KENNEWICK, Wash. -- The Spokane Chiefs outscored the Kootenay Ice 3-1 in the 2nd period en route to a 5-1 victory on Friday afternoon. Mike Aviani and Mitch Holmberg, both playing in their first preseason game of the year, scored two goals apiece, including a shorthanded effort netted by Holmberg and assisted by Aviani.
Aviani's first goal came in the 1st period at the 12:00 mark, assisted by Stewart Coyle and rookie Matt Sozanski. The assist was Sozanski's fourth point of the preseason. Heading into the 1st intermission, the Chiefs led 1-0 and were outshooting the Ice 11-8.
Aviani scored his second goal and Holmberg punched in his shorthanded goal to increase the lead to 3-0 with just over six minutes remaining in the 2nd period. Kootenay's veteran right winger Zach McPhee put the Ice on the board at the 15:18 mark. Chiefs rookie defenseman Colton Bobyk pushed the margin again to three with a goal just before the period ended, assisted by Alex Whitwham and Blair Oneschuk.
The Chiefs went into the 2nd intermission ahead 4-1, outshooting Kootenay 27-24.
Both teams were scoreless in the 3rd until Holmberg added his second goal with 6:34 remaining, assisted by Jeremy McIntosh and Bobyk.
Tyson Verhelst started the game in goal, played 31:09 and stopped all 12 shots he faced. Veteran Eric Williams subbed in at the 11:09 mark of the 2nd period and finished the game, allowing one goal on 24 shots faced.
Spokane's penalty kill was perfect on the night, not allowing a goal in 10 shorthanded situations.
Final SOG: Spokane 32, Kootenay 36.
The Chiefs play Tri-City tomorrow night in Kennewick. Game time is 7:05 p.m.

More bad news for U.S. defender Oguchi Onyewu. Originally, reports had him missing 3-4 months after he tore his patellar tendon against Costa Rica, but following today's surgery, it's expected he'll be out for six months.
Gooch had one-hour surgery Wednesday in Los Angeles for a torn patella tendon in his left knee, suffered in the World Cup qualifying finale against Costa Rica last week at RFK Stadium. The damage wasn't any worse than expected, but the updated timetable will keep him out of action until probably April, just two months before the start of the World Cup.
He will begin rehabbing immediately.

Code Natural Kitchen by Snaidero
Kitchen systems are a lot like prefab housing: they're designed to be modular but they're endlessly customizable—not that that's a bad thing. The advantage of choosing a kitchen system or a prefab is the security of knowing what you're getting: what it will be made of, when and where it will be constructed. You purchase deliverable, detailed promises. The disadvantage, however, is that because they're not truly factory-made, off-the-shelf products, these products are often more expensive than we'd expect. But, if a kitchen system is something you can invest in, here's one that's caught our eye.
Earlier this year, Snaidero Design introduced its new Code kitchen. The modular, fully customizable system is available in color laminates but its the Code Natural that piqued our interest.
Comprising vertical slats of ash wood cut at different widths, the cabinets add a textural visual warmth to the streamlined kitchen. The countertops act as counterpoints, available in laminate, marble, granite, stone, Corian, or steel.

Menards has postponed plans to open a store in Independence and the reason why has sparked controversy.
The home improvement chain allegedly cited concerns about policies from President Barack Obama and his administration.
"I'm very sorry, but we are a family-owned business and with the Obama administration scaring the dickens out of all small businesses in the USA at present, we have decided not to risk expansion until things are more settled," Menards spokesman Jeff Abbott said in an email last week to the Independence Examiner. "Thank you for your patience and understanding."
But when contacted by KCTV5 on Tuesday, Abbott declined to reiterate his statement. He said his initial statement left room for interpretation and he needed corporate approval before elaborating.
The nearest Menards are in St. Joseph, Topeka and Sedalia. The Independence store would have been at Little Blue Parkway and Interstate 70. The store would have opened in 2014 and been the first in a series in the Kansas City area.
A store near St. Louis is also being delayed.
Area residents who looked forward to shopping at the store or helping build it were lamenting the decision. The store would have created an estimated 250 full-time and part-time jobs.
Harold Rothenberger had put in a bid for his hauling company to work on the project. He said the construction work would have provided employment for many people who needed the jobs.
Some companies say they are hesitant to expand with so much uncertainty in Washington over the "fiscal cliff," and whether tax breaks will end and taxes will go up.
"Sometimes it's better to be safe than sorry than to go ahead and put jobs forth then have your business fold," Sharon Rothenberger said.
Others said they support Obama's efforts, saying economic recovery for the middle class is most important.
The Independence City Council delayed a final vote on approving Menards' construction plans until hearing back from the company. The city's zoning commission in October had approved plans to build a Menards on a more than 50-acre tract just east of the Independence Events Center.

Jennifer Jason Leigh as Sally Bowles, in Cabaret
Like most people, my idea of Sally Bowles (or at least a musical Sally Bowles, all due respect to Christopher Isherwood and Julie Harris and everybody...) begins and ends with Liza Minnelli's Oscar-winning, career-defining triumph in Bob Fosse's landmark 1972 film "Cabaret." Most actresses I've seen as Sally Bowles either lose me by failing to live up to the Minnelli mold or by going in a different direction in which I do not care to follow. I happened to move to New York right after Natasha Richardson left her Tony-winning run as Sally in the Roundabout Theatre Company's hit 1998 revival. I did, however, manage to see Jennifer Jason Leigh who took over and for the first time, my preconceptions about the character were circumvented. Forget about living up to Liza's legendary versions of the songs, Leigh's Sally was almost anti-musical, a punk take on the score. Her approach to Sally's transparent, cloying neediness was fascinatingly guarded and ultimately, surprisingly moving. I walked away thinking this take on the part balanced the show better, particularly opposite such brilliant co-stars as Alan Cumming, John Benjamin Hickey, Mary Louise Wilson, Ron Rifkin, Denis O'Hare and Michele Pawk. Leigh's Sally lingered in my mind. Continued...

Rt. 1
Almyra, Ar 72003
20 Jan 1980
Mrs. Alice D Forsyth
1100 Chartres St.
New Orleans, La. 70116
Dear Alice,
I thought I would get to New Orleans for a visit and come by and see you before
this now but it has not worked out. Jerry has managed to get home with Matthew,
our grandson, to visit often enough so that our reason for visiting has not been
so compelling.
One thing I was especially wanting to check with you about was the enclosed.
Anton Pregaldin, Clayton, Mo., generously helps me with translations and by
sharing information from his personal research in the Catholic registers
'up-river'. I had asked him to check something in the New Madrid records at
the Missouri Historical Society and he ran across this in the papers of
Father Gibault from there. I, of course, cannot read it, but he wrote me...
"I enclose a copy of a letter dated 8 Nov l800, in which the Bishop of La.
acknowledged receipt of copies of the baptisms, marriages and burials of New
Madrid from 19 Jan 1796 until the fall of 1800. I wonder if could still be
found in the Archives of the New Orleans Archdiocese"....
No registers kept by Father Gibault at New Madrid have surfaced 'up-river' so
far as he or I can determine. Is there any possibility these 'copies' might
still be in the holdings there??? I get giddy just contemplating such a find.
I felt it was worth asking about although only a slim possibility.
I don't have a book and no. for this record but think it should be in the
funeral records there as in the translation of the Succession of Catalina
Chenal in the LaHQ, Vol, 26, p. 1224, there is bill for her funeral expenses
receipted by Fr. Antonia de Sedella, making it appear that she died 26-28
Feb. 1785. In the last BULLETIN, I printed translations of some 1743 documents
concerning this lady which were pertinent to her affairs of her first marriage
to "Jean Francois Lepine in Ark. I am working on a resume of this early Ark.
resident family. I will appreciate her death record if available. It may shed
additional light on her background. Her name is found Anne Catherine Cheval
(Chenal), widow 1st of Jean Francois Lepine, and 2nd of Charles Lincto (Languetau,
I still work at the identity of those listed in the 1768 census of Ark. residents.
Among these is GOGUETTE, his wife, children 2 boys, 1 girl. I feel that the "girl"
is the MARGUERITE GOGUETTE of the marriage on p 35 in your Book that took place
19 Mar 1785. I wonder if these references are not pertinent: ST LOUIS CATHEDRAL
BAPTISMAL REGISTER III (1753-1759). .. BODSON et GAUDRET 96: BODSON et GAUDET 97.
Then in REGISTER IV (1759-1762) is GODINETTE, Marguerite 107. I am trying to tie
together records spanning fifty some years found in several repositories which
seem to fit and show that the man in Ark. was a French Canadian and and that the
wife was a BOTSON from New Orleans and the children were named Marguerite, Etienne
(Stephen, Estevan) and EXEUPEERE (from Spanish record and I have no idea what the
French version should be, or the American). Any time, at your convenience, I will
appreciate a check on these references.
I do hope 1980 has started off well for you and will get better day by day.

Cycle challenge "started off as a dare" says Officer
– Lee Skelton, Chairman, Cumbria Police Federation
"It started off as an office dare more than anything, a little bit of banter between myself and Paul Senior, the challenge was laid down.
"The timescale was shortened to just seven days, but luckily we found quite a number of our colleagues who were willing to take it on!
"It has been absolutely fantastic, we have seen the best that England has to offer but there was nothing like yesterday and today, cycling through our own Border area through Cumbria and into the Borders, absolutely fabulous scenery."

Means Wins Backdraw In Last Day Of Bedford Cup
Gainesville – After four days of rigorous play at the Bedford Cup – the annual battle between Florida's Division I programs – the FGCU women's tennis team returns to The Nest with one of its members crowned a champion.
After an early exit from the main singles draw, Sarah Means (Wesley Chapel, Fla./Wiregrass Ranch HS) made a goal to redeem her first-round loss by dominating the singles backdraw – and that is exactly what she did.
"I'm happy that Sarah won the backdraw this weekend," head coach Courtney Vernon said. "She showed discipline and courage throughout the tournament. I'm also very proud of Johanna and Bettina for making the doubles semifinals, what a great step for our program. I'm so thankful for our entire team and the support they showed each other this weekend.
Defeating her two previous opponents in a quick two sets, Means entered Sunday's quarterfinal match ready to continue her momentum as she faced Florida's Stefani Stojic. She knew a win wouldn't come easy as Stojic beat Bettina Botha (Cape Town, South Africa/De Kuilen HS) 6-0, 6-2 in their quarterfinal consolation match one day earlier. Facing a top-notch opponent, Means proved that FGCU can hang with high-major programs as she took down the Gator 6-2, 6-3 to advance to the finals.
After a short break, Means returned to the baseline for her backdraw finals match, set to face Atlantic Sun foe Mariella Calderon of North Florida. Looking to take home the title, Means exuded confidence and she claimed another two-set victory to win the match and the backdraw 6-2, 6-3.
"I'm happy that I was able to pull it out today," Means said. "I had a lot of support from my team, which I'm very thankful for. Overall, this weekend went well for us."
The Green and Blue picked up a total eight singles and three doubles wins this weekend.

CATEGORIES MoviesInevitably, there are always wonderful moments and not-so-great moments in awards shows -- what matters is the ratio.
At the 70th Annual Golden Globe Awards, after a hilarious start from co-hosts Tina Fey and Amy Poehler, things got a bit slow. There was a collection of name-list speeches, and several no-shows that dragged the ceremony down.
But thanks in part to alcohol, humor and heartfelt speeches, the awards show picked up around midway and rode a high wave all the way to the finish.
Here, in no particular order, are the best and worst moments of the 2013 Golden Globes.

or a little more offensive creativity early on
This staff flat turned the team around during our Bye week. Made some great 'adjustments' and opened up the playbook much more. First year coaches and their team just don't normally 'figure it out' any time during their first year. I said it before, but that Bye week couldn't have come at a better time!

Lines 1–4
In the opening stanza, the poet articulates the carpe diem tenet that urges one to "Seize the Day." The gathering of roses is a metaphor for living life to the fullest. The image of roses suggests a number of things: roses symbolize sensuality and the fulfillment of earthly pleasures; as vegetation, they are tied to the cycles of nature and represent change and the transience of life. Like the "virgins," the roses are buds, fresh, youthful and brimming with life; youth, like life, however, is fleeting. Marked by brevity, life is such that one day one experiences joy, as suggested by the smiling flower, and the next day death. The poet underscores the ephemeral quality of human life. Like the rose, the virgins whom the speaker addresses, and beyond them the reader of the text, are destined to follow the same fate as the rose.
Lines 5–8
Here the poet expands on the image of fleeting time and the brevity of life. The movement of the sun in the sky underscores the passing of time as the sun has functioned quite literally as a time- piece since ancient times (think of a sundial). Traditionally, the sun is an image of warmth, light and vitality: it is a life-giving force, nurturing growth in nature. However, the setting of the sun is a foreboding image that lends dark undertones to the poem: it is a traditional symbol of death. Like the rose, the personified sun and his progress across the sky stand as a metaphor...

In 1177 B.C., marauding groups known only as the "Sea Peoples" invaded Egypt. The pharaoh's army and navy managed to defeat them, but the victory so weakened Egypt that it soon slid into decline, as did most of the surrounding civilizations. After centuries of brilliance, the civilized world of the Bronze Age came to an abrupt and cataclysmic end. Kingdoms fell like dominoes over the course of just a few decades. No more Minoans or Mycenaeans. No more Trojans, Hittites, or Babylonians.
"But it was all going so well....."
Eric H. Cline tells the gripping story of the "First Dark Ages," and provides an accessible introduction to the era between the past of Egypt and the rise of Classical Greece. Cline's compelling narrative (expertly narrated by Andy Caploe) offers new insight into an important historical period and expertly draws parallels to contemporary times.

The original broadcasts have been lost forever, but the verbatim text - written by Harold Burson, founding chairman of one of the world's leading public relations firms, Burson Marsteller, who at the time was a reporter for the Armed Forces Network - has been newly interpreted by an ensemble of some of our fine actors.
"Now there was radio!"
Report from Nuremberg utilizes the transcripts of Harold Burson, then a young reporter for Armed Forces Network radio, and a stellar cast of voices, to create this original production that blends journalism, history, and dramatic reenactment to envision what it was like to experience the trials firsthand.
Why we think it's a great listen: Seabiscuit was a runaway success, and Hillenbrand's done it again with another true-life account about beating unbelievable odds. On a May afternoon in 1943, an Army Air Forces bomber crashed into the Pacific Ocean and disappeared, leaving only a spray of debris and a slick of oil, gasoline, and blood. Then, on the ocean surface, a face appeared.....
"Hillenbrand could make even laundry fascinating!"
Daniel James Brown's robust book tells the story of the University of Washington's 1936 eight-oar crew and their epic quest for an Olympic gold medal, a team that transformed the sport and grabbed the attention of millions of Americans.

Although he doesn't know anything about the subject (at first), he is eager to learn, and takes information that he gets from the world's leading experts and explains it to us in a way that makes it exciting and relevant.
"Very informative, fun to listen to"
In the late nineteenth century, people were obsessed by one of the last unmapped areas of the globe: The North Pole. No one knew what existed beyond the fortress of ice rimming the northern oceans. On July 8, 1879, the USS Jeannette set sail from San Francisco to cheering crowds in the grip of "Arctic Fever." The ship sailed into uncharted seas, but soon was trapped in pack ice. Two years into the harrowing voyage, the hull was breached. Amid the rush of water and the shrieks of breaking wooden boards, the crew abandoned the ship.
"One of the Amazing Ones"
This Pulitzer Prize-winning history of World War II chronicles the dramatic rise and fall of the Japanese empire, from the invasion of Manchuria and China to the atomic bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Told from the Japanese perspective, The Rising Sun is, in the author's words, "a factual saga of people caught up in the flood of the most overwhelming war of mankind, told as it happened - muddled, ennobling, disgraceful, frustrating, full of paradox."
"The pacific war from inside the Japanese empire"
Four US Navy SEALS departed one clear night in early July, 2005 for the mountainous Afghanistan-Pakistan border for a reconnaissance mission. Their task was to document the activity of an al Qaeda leader rumored to have a small army in a Taliban stronghold. Five days later, only one of those Navy SEALS made it out alive. This is the story of the only survivor of Operation Redwing, SEAL team leader Marcus Luttrell, and the extraordinary firefight that led to the largest loss of life in American Navy SEAL history.
"True Tale of Courage and Honor"
Why we think it's a great listen: If you ever thought history was boring, David McCullough's performance of his fascinating book will change your mind.

"Front Seat on History"
The Path Between the Seas tells the story of the men and women who fought against all odds to fulfill the 400-year-old dream of constructing an aquatic passageway between the Atlantic and Pacific oceans. It is a story of astonishing engineering feats, tremendous medical accomplishments, political power plays, heroic successes, and tragic failures. McCullough expertly weaves the many strands of this momentous event into a captivating tale.
"No Stone Unturned"
Since its publication in 1960, William L. Shirer's monumental study of Hitler's German empire has been widely acclaimed as the definitive record of the 20th century's blackest hours. The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich offers an unparalleled and thrillingly told examination of how Adolf Hitler nearly succeeded in conquering the world. With millions of copies in print around the globe, it has attained the status of a vital and enduring classic.
"A Tale of Momumental Evil, Stupidity and Hatred"
In August of 1914, the British ship Endurance set sail for the South Atlantic. In October, 1915, still half a continent away from its intended base, the ship was trapped, then crushed in the ice. For five months, Sir Ernest Shackleton and his men, drifting on ice packs, were castaways in one of the most savage regions of the world.
Having done field work in New Guinea for more than 30 years, Jared Diamond presents the geographical and ecological factors that have shaped the modern world. From the viewpoint of an evolutionary biologist, he highlights the broadest movements both literal and conceptual on every continent since the Ice Age, and examines societal advances such as writing, religion, government, and technology.

The urgent truth about the privatization of America's national security that exposes where this industry came from, how it operates, where it's heading—and why we should be concerned. Thirty years ago there were no private military and security companies (PMSCs); there were only mercenaries. Now the PMSCs are a bona-fide industry, an indispensable part of American foreign and military policy.

Caesars Head State Park in South Carolina annually witnesses the North American Hawk Migration where thousands of Broad-winged Hawks majestically fly over the Blue Ridge Escarpment to find a warmer home for the winter.
Another hawk hailing from South Carolina is Bears CB Tim Jennings, who this season has soared from a pedestrian starter to elite corner with his ball-hawking abilities that were fine-tuned through rigorous offseason training.
Ask fellow Bears CB D.J. Moore how Jennings secured the nickname "Hawk," and Moore cracks a smile.
"The coaches came up with it to kind of build his morale in catching the ball," explained Moore, who also grew up in South Carolina. "I mean, he's really hawking it right now, so it's good."
Moore isn't even close to exaggerating. In his seventh NFL season, the diminutive Jennings (generously listed at 5-8, 185 pounds) has lived up to that nickname and more through five games by already nabbing a career-high four interceptions and tying his career-best in passes defended (10).
His play was so hot that Jennings' razor-sharp talons snagged NFC Defensive Player of the Month honors for September.
"Winning Player of the Month is an honor," Jennings said. "It goes with the team having success and recognizing all the hard work that I'm trying to put into the game. My first few games were great for me, but the tough part is keeping it up. It's a long season. I just have to continue to keep working at it to get better."
What makes this season's performance so surprising is that Jennings, who played four unremarkable seasons in Indianapolis after being a 2006 second-round pick of the Colts, never had more than two interceptions in a season. Plus, he had struggled a bit in 2011.
Jennings, who turns 29 on Dec. 24, was in the final year of his contract in '11 when he was benched for Zack Bowman in the Week 16 matchup against the Packers. Jennings regained his starting job in Week 17 against the Vikings, and created a big impression with six tackles and an interception.
The Bears decided to keep Jennings over Bowman — ironically, the team re-signed Bowman earlier this week after he had failed to make the Vikings' roster — but only signed him (to a two-year, $6.6 million deal) after failing to land heavily pursued Cortland Finnegan in free agency.
"It was tough being a starter and then being told to give Zack a chance, but that's the competitor in me," said Jennings, who made it clear that he only wanted to sign with Chicago. "Zack is a good guy. I respect him to the utmost respect. He is a good football player. It's a tough situation, but we both know this is a business, and you have to learn and grow from it. I wanted to be here, so I didn't want it to hang over my head too much.
"I got the opportunity to go back out there, and I was able to perform in the Minnesota game. I think it worked out, and coming into this year, they signed me back for another two years. I felt good about the decision and it took that weight off my shoulders. I was just able to come out here and compete to get better."
He eagerly wanted to prove he deserved to keep his starting spot, so he intensely worked on his game in the offseason to make sure he caught the balls coming his way.
"I've been working at it since OTAs," Jennings said. "I just wanted to go out there, get to the Jugs machine and work on my hands, get my confidence back in my hands. Being able to catch the football. I wanted to continue to stay healthy, be healthy, make sure my legs were right. I knew it was going to be a long season, so I felt like if I had good legs, confidence in my hands and ability, I knew I would go out there and compete."
Jennings, who had 10 career interceptions at the University of Georgia, said he feels as if he's at his physical peak and highest level of anticipation this season — important ingredients required for a position relying on "instinctual reaction." Bears defensive backs coach Jon Hoke has noticed this and is pleased that Jennings' hard work is paying off.
"Tim deserves all the credit," Hoke said. "He's been working his butt off. He's out there working on catching the ball and putting himself in position to make those plays. He's got a lot of confidence right now. Confidence just doesn't happen. You've got to work and feel confident that you did all that work when you go out there."
Hoke said the Georgia alum fits the Bears' cover-2 system very well and makes a positive difference in the defense, something head coach Lovie Smith agrees with, as well.
"I think he's a good cover-2 corner, but he's also been a good man-coverage guy, a good zone-coverage guy," Smith said. "He's done everything that we've asked him to do. He's been a good all-around corner. If you think cover-2 a little bit, a cornerback's role is to play the run and be a little physical with the receivers. He does a great job with all that."
Jennings isn't just making plays by himself. His strong play is benefiting others as well. He deflected a couple balls that became interceptions to SS Major Wright and batted another one to FS Chris Conte. Wright returned one of those picks for a 45-yard touchdown against the Rams.
Jennings snagged four picks the first three games, but even if he's not making picks or pass deflections, he is playing a key role in a dominant Chicago defense that has scored five touchdowns and is tied for the league lead with 17 takeaways. He didn't produce a turnover against the Cowboys and Jaguars, but his lockdown coverage forced QBs Tony Romo and Blaine Gabbert to hold on to the ball longer, resulting in his teammates tallying four sacks and seven interceptions.
"Rush-cover go hand-and-hand, so to have guys in the secondary playing lights out with interceptions and making plays with the ball, it's going to cause the quarterback to hold it," said DE Israel Idonije, who has 2½ of the Bears' 18 sacks. "Up front, we've got to get to the quarterback."
Part of the reason Jennings believes he is doing a lot better is playing alongside and learning from Pro Bowl CB Charles Tillman for three years.
"You learn a lot from that guy, just the fact that he comes out here to work everyday," Jennings explained. "He doesn't complain about anything. Even though he's been in the game for a while, he's still honing his craft. Some of the things he works on (are) because he knows he has to get better. I kind of take that all in with his knack for the ball, the way he approaches the ball and knowing what play is coming."
Both Hoke and Moore said Jennings hasn't made a huge jump in his play because he has always been in good position to make them. However, they point out Jennings is now catching balls that he used to drop.
"It's not really that hard being elite — you've just got to make the plays," Moore said. "Whenever the plays come to your numbers, you've got to make them. That's pretty much just it. You'll see a lot of corners just miss the ball, so if you catch the ball, that's the difference from elite to non-elite a lot of times. You've got to catch the ball on defense."
For Jennings to continue his high level of play, Hoke maintains he needs to keep preparing as extensively as he has been doing.
"He's been a big part of our defense," Hoke said. "He is leading the NFL in interceptions. We are a defense that thrives on takeaways. That's big for our defense. The more takeaways we get, the better feeling we get of possibly winning the game."
Jennings' teammates and coaches all love the hard work, discipline, and reliability he brings to the team in practice and during the game.
"He's been in the league for seven years now and this is by far his best year even if he doesn't even play anymore this season," Moore said. "To see a guy just consistently stick with it, to even know that he could do it is inspiring. He was on another team where he played and didn't play. He came here, and then they liked him and didn't like him. Now, he's fighting through it. He's really our No. 1 best cover corner on this team."

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- The Big Four pedestrian bridge is drawing big crowds since its opening a couple of weeks ago. But what some dogs are leaving behind could lead to pets being banned from the bridge.
The Board of the Waterfront Development Corporation decided on Wednesday to study the matter for another 30 days and then decide whether, or how, to ban dogs.
Too many dogs are leaving behind their droppings, and their owners are not cleaning up after their pets. So the Waterfront Development Corporation, which operates the bridge, says it is reluctantly considering banning dogs from the bridge.
"I still hope we can figure out a way to educate people a little more and see if the problem gets better," says the executive director of the Waterfront Development Corporation, David Karem.
Karem says his crews have had to clean up dog droppings as many as three times a day. "For example," he explains, "The staff said on Saturday that it was a good day on the bridge; but they said it was a terrible day on Sunday, we had 20 separate episodes on the bridge."
Even with Wednesday's cold and windy weather, Jim Solley and his small dog, Mister Peabody, made their first visit to the bridge. Solley says he doesn't understand people who refuse to pick up after their pets and ruin it for everyone.
"They are thoughtless, is all I can say," he told WDRB, "It is not all that big a deal to take a second and clean up after your dog."
The Waterfront Development Corporation has talked with other cities that also have pedestrian bridges to see what their policies are when it comes to pets.
It is also considering providing bags along the bridge that pet owners can use to pick up the animal waste. But Karem isn't so sure his agency should have to do that. "I don't know why it should be a public agency's responsibility to provide bags for people's dogs," he says.

The United States had a 20th minute goal taken off the board when a controversial offside call went against the U.S., canceling a Clint Dempsey goal and keeping the team scoreless at halftime against the Algerians.
Dempsey stabbed a left-footed finish into an undefended net mid-way through the first half, but the U.S. attacker was adjudicated offside. Replays showed Dempsey onside, with Algeria defender Mahjid Bougherra keeping him on from three yards out.
Dempsey's was not the U.S.'s only chance, having generated other opportunities for Landon Donovan, Herculez Gomez and Jozy Altidore amidst a half of soccer dominated by the Americans.
Algeria had the first good chance of the match, with a right-footed half-volley from Rafik Djebbour hitting the cross bar early.

We ended our 1986 oral history of Cooperstown with the following:
"We have a modern village history trivia question to pose. Who remembers the children's museum and where was it located? Does anyone recall the lovely doll house which was on display there a well as the three exciting dioramas of Cooperstown's past, present and future? Who was responsible for creating the dioramas and the doll house and whatever happened to them once the museum ceased to exist? If anyone can help, please let us know."
We suspect we referred to this particular topic as being modern, even though it hails from 1953, as it was something the he-we remembered. There was no doubt those in 1986 who might have thought something from 1953 could be considered ancient history. And we are positive there are those currently who know 1953 was ancient history. Nonetheless, the response to our question follows:
"The Children's Museum was jointly sponsored by the Women's Club and the Cooperstown Art Association and was located on the first floor of the Village Library Building on Main Street. According to the February,1953 edition of "Children's Museum Spotlight," kindly loaned to us by Kitty Sanford whose late husband John was most active in the program, 'the purpose of the Children's Museum is not to teach vocations, but to encourage hobbies. Each member of the teaching staff is seeking to share his or her knowledge of a particular art or craft with children interested in the field...A great variety of subjects is offered and the curriculum varies from term to term, depending on the availibility of teachers the the students demands.' We (the he-we) do remember going to Saturday morning painting classes and to the Story Hour held after school on Thursdays.
"Carlotta Harrison of Beaver Street called to tell us that the dollhouse came from Mrs. Joseph Campbell and to remind us of the "Chinese Funeral" which was housed in a case near the stairway. The 'Chinese Funeral' was comprised of many figures two inches high and depicted exactly what the title indicated. Mrs. Harrison does not know what happened to the Funeral, the dollhouse or the murals. Incidently, speaking of murals, it is interesting to note that the children in painting classes must have done a Christmas mural each year. We also thank Betsy Hawn who called to discuss the Children's Museum with us."
The discussion of the Children's Museum continued with:
"Miss Anna Cunningham of Elm Street writes that the Children's Museum was 'something a hard-pressed, war-weary small community once did for its children...Miss Mary Cunningham, an imaginative and creative person, initiated the Children's Museum program during World War II (and) it caught on instantly and received great support and co-operation. The War Years were a time of shortages, of make do, of tight budgets. It was a time when small town America, with clinched teeth, was toughing it out. Materials for the Museum were donated by townsfolk---lumber, paint and their labor. Cooperstown in those days, even as it does today, seemed to have a deep reserve of talent to draw upon in time of need...Mrs. Folger (Dorothy Savage) Oudin, a trained and talented artist, joined early on. Support also came from a corps of conscientious objectors to war who were then stationed in the area by the Federal government on a work program...many were artists...It was they who painted the wall murals depicting scenes of local history. The Children's Museum remained in the Village Library Building after the War.'"
And thus we end our sharing of local history as originally presented back in 1986. We greatly enjoy revisiting all these columns and many of our readers have also told us how much they enjoy reading what we consider to be oral history. We do hasten to point out that we are never certain if what we learned was exactly correct and thus we have presented it for what it is, namely the fond memories of many people who dearly loved our fair community.
And having finished with 1986, we can now turn to 2012 where we find ourselves facing the unbelievable reality that our son, Christopher, turns 38 today. We are not exactly certain how this came to be. It does not seem it was 38 years ago that we were rushing to Cottage Hospital in Grosse Pointe, Mich., to welcome our new arrival into our world. And we suspect that at the time he had no idea as to just what he had gotten himself into. However, and we may be prejudiced about this, we were, and still are, very happy to have him, as well as his delightful wife Annie and his precious daughter Abby, as part of our world. And although there were no doubt times when he would cheerfully have disowned us, we can but hope he too is happy to be a part of our world.
Happy Birthday Christopher...and remember, you are now nine years older than we are!
