Rock Sound Magazine Review Man Vs. Monster
I thought it was good, falling short of awesome. It was OK but there are a lot of bands who do what they do better, but it was solid and they do have a good rock sound. A solid seven.

Had this from a bottle poured into a wine glass, was at a friend's house and being a uni student, he had about 2 clean glasses.
A - Very nice dark caramel colour, the most impressive part of this beer.
S - From the look of this beer, I was expecting a very strong coffee aroma. I could smell coffee, but it wasn't as strong as expected, notes of chocolate picked up also.
T - Pretty nice. Chocolate, coffee are two dominant flavours. Strange taste of something like breakfast cereal, like basic oats.
M - Alright, nice and velvety, alcohol not too dominant but certainly present.
D - Coffee flavours are good every once in a while for a beer, think that one a night is enough for me.
A valiant attempt from Matilda Bay.

As a coffee beer I think this pretty much nails the concept.It looks great - opaque blackness with some ruby edges and a solid two finger head and good lacing. The nose is not "reminiscent" of coffee, it IS coffee. Again in the mouth is that fresh coffee flavour. It actually tastes of coffee beans which for me was a tad too much. They added a kind astringent bitterness rather than a pleasant bitterness. There are some other slight hints of chocolate and cocoa but it's all about the coffee. Would be great with food or dessert, obviously a tiramisu would be great. If you like coffee and you like dark beer, there's not much to dislike. Definitely the best offering from Matilda Bay for quite some time.

345 ML bottle poured into a tulip
A-- Poured a dark reddish black, settling to and opaque jet black with touches of ruby. Just about a one finger head that is mocha colored. Some decent head retention and a little bit of shown carbonation.
S-- Smells like what it is named. A long shot. Coffee, more coffee, chocolate and roasted malts. Pretty straight forward and good nose.
T-- Coffee and chocolate. The chocolate is bitter and there is also a bit of coco in this and a little bit of spice from the hops.
M-- Higher than normal carbonation but still reasonably heavy. Lots of coffee and good touches of bitter chocolate to cut through the coffee. Tastes like a strong iced coffee without the ice cream. Hop bitterness distracts you from the coffee for a moment.
D-- Well done. May be a touch over carbonated but then the beer might be just tar like and hard to drink. More carbonation does make this more lively. ABV is well hidden and rare to see a mainstream craft brewery in Australia do something at 6%. This works quite well. One in a sitting is enough but would come back for more of this. Solid beer from Matilda. Also did Alpha King well so this could be a trend.

Pours a reasonably thick black-brown, quite viscous out of the bottle. Head is filmy, just a collar of espresso-crema lacing around the edge of the glass. Looks pleasantly heavy at least, and there's some nice static carbonation when it's swirled, implying some excellent body.
Nose is pleasantly sweet, but robustly roasted, giving a hint of depth and darkness. Even just a whiff of something smoky coming through, which just emphasises the darkness nicely.
Nice entry, smooth on the body and pleasantly roasted. Sweetness wells mid-palate, giving a pleasant impression of chocolate and vanilla, before it dries out a little, leaving some dark bitterness on the back. A well developed and very flavoursome palate, without being overwhelming. Nicely done.
A very nice beer - lots of complexity for its size, but staying pleasant and approachable. Out of interest, I drizzled a little on some cookies and cream ice cream and it made quite a tasty addition.

Matilda Bay - possibly one of the best Australian breweries. I will have more reviews of their fine brews to come, however I was eying off this fine beverage at the local Murphy's (Dan), and simply had to try it over it's fellow brethren.
Poured from 345ml bottle into a Guinness pint glass.
A: The brew (both head and body) had little fizz... in fact the tan head was almost non-existent... certainly not a bad thing by any stretch of margin though. The body is very deep ruby red presenting as obsidian in most lighting situations.
S: Roasted chicory, burnt coffee, and dark chocolate; very inviting indeed!
T: Nice! The coffee flavour gives this stoutish ale an espresso front that holds through the chicory mid-palate and finishes with bitter (oily) hops. As a balance it is well thought out and executed. Also no signs of common macro nastiness (metallic tastes, bad yeast characteristics, pride of ringwood hops...).
M: There's a creamy consistency that all good stouts deliver. Carbonation is balanced, and the quality of the hops brings an oily subtlety to town (and buys it drinks).
D: Quite a good drop if you have a comfortable wing-back chair and a toasty fire in the middle of winter, it's a quaffer in my books: suitable to be drunk in healthy gulps. It's very similar in taste profile to Sheaf Stout (which was my first BA review) without the macro nastiness (but slightly more expensive). Could I drink more than a single in one sitting? Hell yes! I do however like full flavoured ales - so fellow beer lovers who are intimidated by strong ales beware! (should such a creature exist).
Food match: Wood fried pizzas, roast beef/lamb, roast vegetables.

First things first i cant believe that this brew is only available from Dan Murphy's especially considering how many other bottleshops stock the rest of their lineup i just think its not right anyway it pours a nice jet cola colour which lets no light in whatsoever with decent carbonation that leaves behind a creamy two finger cappicino laced head and sporadic lacing,the aroma is quite similar to a black coffee with some roasty malts and some dark chocolate on the nose,the mouthfeel is only just above average and to be honest i was expecting it to be abit thicker and creamier after reading the spiel on the label and i must admit i find the taste of this brew alot better than the mouthfeel with tastes of dark black coffee,dark chocolate,roasted malts and it finishes with a coffee/hop bitterness which beautifully evens out this drop to make it a nice companion on a cold winters night next to the fire and to be quite honest ive got two complaints about this brew abeit they be minor the first one is why not make this brew available to all the other bottleshops that support this brewery 365 days of the year and the second is that it could have a creamier/fuller mouthfeel which would put this brew right up there in my mind.

Dark with mahogany red highlights. Thick tanned head and reasonable lacing.
Dark chocolate aroma with coffee and charcoal
Smoky, coffee taste, tobacco and chocolate.
Very drinkable yet quick flavorsome. A great balance with some moderate balanced hop bitterness. Probably one of the top beers form Matilda Bay.

A: good head and good lacing actually 4
S: you definitely get that "coffee beer" smell- umami/feces and a sort of licoricey smell (I'm not sure if it's licorice but I can't really think of anything more appropriate to describe it). It's really not too far off something like Peche Mortel, I can't argue that they've captured what they would have set out to here. Also some lactic sweetness. The smell is very pleasant, actually. 4.5
T: Watery roast, some astringency and maybe a bit of sweetness. I like this, but it's not as strong as an English stout. I think this beer would better be classified under porter actually. 4
M: Seems a bit thin for an stout, but for a porter it's good. I also don't mind a bit of wateriness anyhow. 4.5
D: Considering you can't get any other coffee stouts for this price, a really good effort in my opinion. Definitely throws up some good flavour without sacrificing drinkability. While I personally might not be the biggest fan of stouts, I find this a peculiarly tasty and drinkable example and will probably buy some more. 4
Edit: I did buy some more and it's still a fine beer. Recommended.
Also, shouldn't this be a textbook American Stout seeing as it's brewed with coffee? What's with the tendency for every beer to come out of Australia automatically being classified under the English variant of the style?

#Historic building in downtown #Fresno. Italian Renaissance architecture. #instafresno (at Pacific Southwest Building)
I love passing the Holy Trinity Armenian Apostolic Church, in downtown #Fresno, when I drive to the Hwy 41 on-ramp. To me, it's a lovely way of saying, "Thank you for visiting downtown!"
Read about the history of this historic building, here.
It's a historic building kind of day on my tumblr…
The Hughes Hotel, Fresno's first four-story building, was built in 1888 for about $300,000 (over $7 million in 2012 dollars).
The Hughes, built of brick and finished in a sandstone color, in the Modern Renaissance style, covered a large section of a city block on the southwest corner of I (later Broadway) and Tulare streets. It featured 200 rooms, plush parlors, an elegant restaurant, saloon, billiard room, a reading room and a steam laundry.
Among its firsts: electric lights in all rooms, generated by an on-premises power plant, telephones in each room and an elevator. It was built around a large interior court with orange trees, flowering plants and a central fountain. Balconies around the upper floors offered a view of the courtyard.
In 1898, a peacock lived in the courtyard. It met its fate in July 1953, when it fell victim to one of several arson fires set that day.
Downtown #Fresno
Homerun Alley.
During ArtHop & JazzHop, this Thursday evening (Oct. 4th, 2012), there will be tours of the Warnors Theatre. This place is so beautiful at night!
Whoa. I just came across a link for a virtual tour of the theater. Stunning…
A little history about one of Fresno's historic neighborhoods.
Homes from the early 20th century line this boulevard in the heart of the historic Alta Vista Tract. The section of Huntington Boulevard between First Street on the west to Cedar Avenue on the east is the home to many large, stately homes. The original development of this area began circa 1910, on 190 acres of what had been an alfalfa field. The Alta Vista Tract, as the land would become known, was mapped by William Stranahan for the Pacific Improvement Corporation, and was officially platted in 1911. The tract's boundaries were Balch Avenue on the south, Cedar Avenue on the east, the rear property line of Platt Avenue (east of Sixth Street) and Platt Avenue (west of Sixth Street) on the north, and First Street on the west. The subdivision was annexed to the City in January 1912, in an election that was the first in which women voted in the community. At the time of its admission to the City, the Alta Vista Tract was uninhabited but landscaped, although the trees had to be watered by tank wagon. In 1914 developers Billings & Meyering acquired the tract, completed street development, provided the last of the necessary municipal improvements including water service, and began marketing the property with fervor. A mere half decade later the tract had 267 homes. This rapid development was no doubt hastened by the Fresno Traction Company right-of-way along Huntington Boulevard, which provided streetcar connections between downtown and the County Hospital. (Taken with Instagram at Huntington Blvd)
Fresno Streetcar (by Frozen Coffee). Another photo of the street car with more information about its history.
"This is supposedly a remaining original Fresno streetcar from way-back-when. After the streetcar service ended, this car and its trailer served as a hot-dog stand for many decades, at this location on South Cherry Ave. between Broadway and Los Angeles St. "

text: SC Athletic Director Eric Hyman will leave Cola for same job at Texas A&M as they join the SEC on Sunday. Expect a formal announcement next week sometime. In my opinion, this guy is the best AD the Chickens have ever had, and the first one to get everyone there on the same page. Our rivalries havent been the same since our sissy administration let him dot the "i" in Tigers after the '04 fight. He may have mortgaged everything with the number of bonds SC uses to build their facilities, but at least he had a vision and the balls to get it done. As long as the SEC makes the most money, they won't be in danger with that much debt. This makes 3 big losses for SC athletics this year: Ellis Johnson to Southern Miss, S&C Coach Craig Fitzgerald to Penn State, and now Hyman. I think the longterm move was to get Ray Tanner promoted to AD and Holbrook to head baseball coach, but this may have accelerated the process. Other candidates are GT's AD Dan Radakovich, Danny Morrison at the Panthers, Shawn Eichorst at Miami (LOL).

After the controversial thriller in the first ACC Tournament semifinal between UNC and N.C. State, the second semifinal of the afternoon, between the Florida St. Seminoles and the Duke Blue Devils, provided its own fireworks. The Seminoles won a nailbiter, 62-59, their second win over Duke this season, led by Michael Snaer, who hit the buzzer beater to beat the Blue Devils in Cameron earlier this year:
The Seminoles defense, as it has been all season, was stout all game long, preventing Duke, which is known for its outside shooting, from getting into any sort of a rhythm. The teams jockeyed back and forth throughout the second half before Luke Loucks did this with the clock winding down.
Snaer was, frankly, everywhere for the Seminoles. He led the team in scoring with 16 points, and added six assists, four rebounds, two steals, two blocks and just one turnover for one of the more impressive stat lines you'll see. The 'Noles shot 42.1 percent from the field, far better than the Blue Devils' 37.3 mark.
Austin Rivers led Duke in scoring with 17 points, but shot 5-14 and 1-6 from deep, continuing his recent string of inefficient scoring. Seth Curry was also cold, shooting just 4-13 for 13 points, but their shooting performances weren't the reason Duke lost. No one else on the team attempted more than six shots. The Seminoles clamped down on D and forced Curry and Rivers to force bad attempts, which was the difference in this game.
The Seminoles will face the ACC regular season champion North Carolina Tar Heels in the conference final Sunday.

Multiple Personalities: Crime and Defense
A More Fundamental Issue
Judge Thomas Honzel, in Helena, Montana, threw out statements made by homicide suspect Tessa Haley, 58, on the basis that she had asked for an attorney before her "alter" personality confessed to the murder. The implication of this decision is that the police must be sufficiently versed in the phenomenon of multiple personalities to know when one is speaking without having been fully warned of his or her rights.
Here's what happened: On September 2, 2002, someone named Martha called Helena police to say she had just stabbed a woman. When they arrived at the location, they found Tessa Haley in bloody clothing. Yet she denied any knowledge of the call or of Martha.
At the same time, the hospital confirmed they were treating a woman who had been stabbed and who identified Haley as her attacker. She was Haley's roommate.
The police advised Haley of her Miranda rights and with her consent, searched her home. Then she requested a lawyer. As they waited in her kitchen, she growled, identified herself as Martha, and upon being asked if she knew the victim, said, "I stabbed her."
She was taken to the hospital, where she continued to confess her intent to kill the victim. Afterward, her lawyer insisted that once she had asked for an attorney, all statements made thereafter should be inadmissible in court.
The other side countered that they had stopped questioning her but she had talked voluntarily. Her incriminating statements had not been the result of an interrogation, especially those made at the hospital. However, since the officers had talked with her as both Tessa and Martha, the judge decided they should have understood that they were treating her as two different peopleeach of whom had rights.
Given all the confusion surrounding the diagnosis even among experts, how might a police officer know the difference? And what if the suspect's alter is a 2-year-old? Or a lobster? Or God? No arresting officer could possibly recognize every personality, let alone Mirandize them all. Many police officers are not even trained in psychology. At best, the judge made a naďve decision. At worst, he set a dangerous precedent.

Cause of man's death a mystery (From Echo)

Cause of death may never be known
11:30am Thursday 26th June 2014 in News
IT may never be known why a Benfleet man died at home after an inquest recorded an open verdict.
Experts were unable to establish why Terence Williams, 47, died even after sending away samples of mould spores found in his home for tests.
Mr Williams was found unconscious by paramedics in his home in Church Road, Benfleet, on December 8 last year, Chelmsford Coroners Court was told.
He was pronounced dead at the scene, but following a post mortem by Dr Simon Payne at Southend Hospital, the initial cause of death was given as unascertained.
The court heard he had a history of drug and alcohol abuse, but subsequent toxicology tests showed nothing in his system which would have killed him.
Coroner Eleanor McGann said: "Police attended and recorded no suspicious circumstances.
"The pathologist was unable to give a cause of death, so after histology and toxicology tests gave nothing, Dr Payne sought help from several expert consultants and there was prolonged and extensive testing.
"Dr Payne spent many months trying to find out why this gentleman died and even sent mould samples found at the property to be analysed in case there was something in that which killed him, but it was returned negative.
"I know he had a history of drug and alcohol abuse in the past, but that was not the immediate cause of death.
"I am afraid the death of Mr Williams will remain a mystery as it is unascertained and therefore the only verdict I can return is an open verdict."

2013 Vintage. Poured from a bottle into mug, the beer is jet black, and pours heavy, with no head and only the slightest dark brown ring of film around the surface. It literally poured like motor oil, and it looks delicious. Aromas of wood and earth, with a backbone of rich chocolate and touches of smoke, highlighted by booze. Flavors are robust, with a smoky, woody forward flavor followed quickly by dark, bitter baker's chocolate and rich, full, roasted coffee. Wow, this one is layered, and it is unbelievably smooth. Smoke and roast fills the senses, as well as the palate, throughout each drink. Creamy vanilla highlights, with a warming sensation from the heightened ABV. This is tremendous. Smooth, full, and creamy in mouth, with an almost velvet feel. Roast and coffee on the aftertaste, with hints of booze. Dry, roasted finish, with a smoked and woody linger. This is a fantastic brew, and I can only imagine it would age very, very well.

Pours a light straw color with a decent amount of creamy/chunky head that seems to stick around for a while, and clings to the glass. Smells of noble hops and that's really about it, pretty much standard for a german lager, I guess. Tastes more bitter than I expected, and a little sweeter than I expected. You can taste the munich lager malt and the noble hops. Finishes fairly clean. The mouthfeel is tingly on the front of the tongue, and creamy on the back, very nice. Overall, it's a very drinkable beer, and a nice lager. I'm not really a fan of german lagers, but I like this one.

A: Poured paleish yellow, with decent 2 finger head. Clean, clear & inviting carbonation.
Head did drip to a film of thin soft foam with average lacing.
S: Fruity & a hint of noble (aromatic) floral hops. Also that typical grassy lager hops smell.
T: Grainy earthy malts at first, even a tinge of honey sweetness, with some mid palate fruitiness-quite a bit of fresh fruits/pears/even some sweet apples, & a gently hop bitterness to finish. Not too complex but distinct & refreshing.
M: Light & a little lively without a watery feeling. D: A very sessionable lager
Overall a very enjoyable Helles lager. Reminds me of a typical macro lager with just that bit more ale character.

I dont know if i would describe this as a munich helles as i am not sure if they use a munich malt, all the website says is 100% barley malt.
A- Rich golden with lively beading throughout. 2 finger head that dissapates quickly to a crown. This was a piss poor pour. Poured as if a pint of stella. Not a nice german lager which should have a thicker creamier head.
S- Lots of sweet malt, faint hoppiness, very refreshing. Somehow i even get marrowfat peas! Wouldnt describe as skunky
T- Similar to bitburger to me. Very light, but not watery. A well balanced hoppy finish with a hint of sweet malt throughout.
M- Lively carbonation, smooth balanced.
D- Very refreshing lager, but still wouldnt describe it as munich. A nice beer for the stella drinker, who wants a lager with more character.

Poured from a 12oz bottle into a tumbler. the beer poured a pale, straw colour creating a frothy, white head (because of the aggressive pour) which immediately settled into a thin coaster over the bright, lively body. Here was your typical Helles lager, at least looks wise. The nose didn't present anything spectacular - wet grain, a little sweet malt and no hop presence at all. Smelt a little skunked, if you would imagine that.
The taste followed the smell initially - grainy and a pat dry, but slowly gave off a residual sweetness which was pretty long lasting. As subsequent sips followed, you could also taste a faint, hop bitterness lingering on the palate. This beer definitely tasted better than it smelt.
I found the mouthfeel to be a little abrasive, probably muting the flavours a little bit. This is definitely not an in your face Lager or something that will surprise you, but definitely an easy going sessionable lager. A notch up from the macros definitely.

Brown 50cl bottle, well in date. The first of my German Beer Reviewing Evening.
Poured into my Budweiser Budvar 0.2 litre stemmed tulip tasting glass (3 times).
Clear golden yellow, fairly pale and bright looking. A large white head sat on top of each pour, sadly the heads all fell away as I drank down each beer, leaving a small collar and some good lacing.
A very slight floral aroma, but not enough to get excited about, otherwise there was no smell, just like most lagers/helles/pilsners.
Dry and refreshing, sharp and crisp. No huge flavours to talk about, but a good example of a German light lager/pilsner.
No great body or depth, just a pleasant lager, easy to drink. The 5.3% is just about detectable. My third glass was taken with some vintage Stilton and dry biscuits, they complimented each other very well.
Now to have some water to clean out the mouth before my next German review.

I don't mind this one at all. After pouring into a schooner glass, it gave a good half inch head that lasted a few minutes before leaving some lacing on the glass. A pale straw colour and just a light grainy aroma that's barely perceptible. The taste has a light malty flavour with a little bitterness to finish off. There's nothing overwhelming and its not that complex but its well balanced and very drinkable. There's only a light carbonation with little bead so the mouthfeel is not overly sparkly but still pleasant. The reviewer of this lager in our local paper said it was a "sequential" beer in that you get the grain first then the hops. I agree. I like this better than say Heineken but there's more interesting German lagers that are accessible in East Oz. Still, this is cheap and very drinkable. I'll buy it again for sure.

330 ml bottle, now available in Norway. ABV is 5.3%. Clear pale golden colour, decent to moderate head. Flowery aroma of aromatic hops, notes of honey, grass and fresh plums. Flavour is less interesting - moderate grassy hops with a certain fruity sweetness. Easy drinking, but no masterpiece.

Poured with a decent slow - disappearing head. Pale gold in colour with a steady stream of slow-rising bubbles.
Pleasant grassy aroma with a hint of malt.
Slightly sweet with good hop balance. Bittering hops leaves a very nice aftertaste.
Light mouthfeel, and very lively on palate.
It's a beer that is very nice in summer. Would buy again if price is right.

Clear golden colour. White rocky head that sinks, light bubbling.
Subdued aroma. Grainy.
Mostly a grain & malt flavour profile. Touch of a light cara malt. None of the typical "skunky" euro lager profile in this beer, which is a nice change.
Some subtle herbal notes, with a light bitterness.
A little cloying.... could have more crisp bitterness for my liking.

Light goden shiny colour kicks things off well with some reasonably acceptable typically Germanic hops. Head is reasonably fluffy and their is that doughy quality in there at times but the malt makes to body too bloated and is a bit overwelmed by the carbonation. Ends without much fanfare and ultimately it just lacks individuality and dimension. A reasonable choice when surrounded by the usual suspects but this is far far from running with any of the class leaders.

This is my first Munich Helles.
Pours with a brilliant golden yellow color. The head is white, moderately low with an impaired retention.
Nice aroma of dry malts with notes of earthly hops. The flavor is not very complex, focusing on the malt without neglecting the hops.
A smooth beer with a reasonable level of carbonation and low alcoholic strength (5.3% ABV). Light body. The aftertaste is nicely bitter and fairly long.
Overall it is a refreshing and agreeable lager. I was a bit disappointed by the poor retention though.

A: Pours a light golden color with a nice head that fades to some lacing.

T: tatse of a mild malt sweetness, with some fresh grain. Has a mild bitterness and a dry finish.
F: Fairly light body, crisp and refreshing. has a decent balance.
O: Nothing fancy but a nice relaxing beer that goes down easy. Better that most of the macro lagers.

33 cl pale brown bottle with a long thin neck and a quite non-descript white and gold label. Purity law applies. Best before 3/05, I opened it on 10/1/04.
Pours a clear light yellow gold under a half finger white head that fades immediately, without body or lace. The nose is corney grain - rather off-putting. The mouth is light and very prickly. The opening is nice sweet malt, followed by mild flowery hops. A good mild bite emerges in the aftertaste. Nice and tasty, it's too bad this beer looks and smells so weak.

O - Not the most interesting beer on offer but very refreshing and drinkable nonetheless. I picked up a carton because it was very cheap and German. No regrets here.

Another Helles for the taking! Munchen Helles Lagers are a personal favourite way to escape the summer heat. Nice, cold, malty, bread-like and dry - what more could you want in the shade of a patio waiting for sizzling meat to cook on a BBQ? All that's left is a bikini-clad maiden by my side and I'm set. Fürstenberg in particular is one that screams out cheap macro at $10 a six-pack, hopefully it has more to offer.
Poured from a 330ml bottle into a Stein.
A: With a hard pour presents a large 1 inch soap-bubble foamy white head that dissipates down to about a quarter of an inch. The body is clear straw coloured, borders on pale-straw.
S: Bread yeast characters with vegetable odours hit the nose strong, with a note of cut grass and light malt grain base. The only thing that differentiates from other Helles Lagers is a hint of dextrose in the aroma, however it isn't actually brewed with dextrose; Reinheitsgebot wouldn't allow it.
T: Gladly the vegetable and any possible adjuncts aren't noticeable in the flavour. A very mild-mannered Helles in many respects taste is; upfront dextrose sweetness, followed by mellow (for a German brew) bread yeast mid, light hop bitterness and a long dry finish. A cool, inoffensive beverage. Perhaps a little too inoffensive depending on how you like a Helles.
M: Mid to light body with minimal carbonation, almost flat actually.
D: I could only think of one thing that sums up this brew: getting to the end of the glass I noticed this beer started smelling like an old rubber shoe. Like that old rubber shoe this Fürstenberg Premium Lager is a placid, mellow, and almost forgotten soon after it is noticed. If you're goal is to find a beer to fill an empty fridge on a budget the this brew isn't the worst idea you ever had (the worst idea you had was getting a credit card), however it isn't going to bowl your taste buds over, remember that.
Food match: I would be inclined to suggest a salad or something else light that doesn't compete too much with the flavour Fürstenberg has on offer.

NGOs Protest Against Novartis' Glivec Lawsuit in India
by Kathy Jones on February 24, 2012 at 8:02 PM Corporate News - G J E 4
Protests marked the annual meeting of Novartis as several NGOs protested against the attempt by the company to obtain a patent for its anti-cancer drug Glivec.
The NGOs said that Novartis' action threatens access to generic drugs in poor countries.
The NGOs said that Novartis' action threatens access to generic drugs in poor countries.
The Berne Declaration, Act Up and Oxfam asked Novartis annual management and shareholders meeting in Basel "to abandon its legal action in India for obtaining a Glivec patent."
"We are asking Novartis once and for all to stop this legal battle in India that is a direct attack on the pharmacy of the developing world," Unni Karunakara, MSF's international president said in a letter to Novartis.
"We will not stand by silently and watch our source of affordable medicines dry up in the future -- we rely on these drugs to do our work in more than 60 countries today."
Forty activists gathered outside the Novartis building, erecting a booth and hoisting banners denouncing Novartis' position.
Glivec generated sales of $4.7 billion (3.5 billion euros) in 2011 and is used in the treatment of chronic myeloid leukemia (blood and bone marrow cancer) as well as against gastrointestinal cancer.
In applying for a patent, "access to cheap medicines would be threatened for the poor in developing countries and emerging economies and India is one of the main suppliers of generic drugs in the world," said Swiss NGO Berne Declaration in a statement.
According to Oxfam, "the price of Novartis' Glivec is 10 times higher than the cost of generic equivalents."
Novartis filed in 2006 a patent application for Glivec in India.
Indian courts rejected the request this year, saying the drug was a new formulation of an existing product.
The Swiss company has appealed to the Supreme Court of India, which has pushed from February to mid-March its hearing on the case, Patrick Durisch, an activist from the Berne Declaration told AFP.
Novartis, contacted by AFP, was not immediately available for comment.

Houston Rockets guard James Harden was chosen by the NBA's coaches as a reserve for the Western Conference in the 2013 All-Star game that will be held next month at the Toyota Center.
It will be Harden's first All-Star game.
"It's definitely overwhelming right now, but it's a great feeling," Harden said. "Just to be my first time in no other city but Houston, it means a lot.
"I'll be hosting and I'll be like near the front page of it. I thank my teammates and my coaching staff to be in this position."
It will be a while before Harden gets his arms around this tremendous honor.
"It hasn't hit me yet," Harden said. "It hasn't hit me yet, but I'm sure when that weekend comes and I put on that All-Star jersey, it'll hit me.
"It's a great individual accomplishment to be one of the best guys in the NBA as an All-Star. It's a dream come true."
With Harden being the home-town player, he knows the other Western Conference All-Stars will look to give him as many looks as possible.
"I think those older guys are going to want the young guys to shine," Harden said. "I'm looking forward to the opportunity just to be with those guys for that weekend and just enjoy it and have a great time."
Rockets general manager Daryl Morey is happy for Harden.
"Congratulations to James," Morey said in a text message to FOX 26 Sports. "Very special that he became an All-Star for the first time at our home arena."
The All-Star game will give Harden a chance to be reunited with former Oklahoma City Thunder teammates Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook which he said means a great deal.
"A lot," Harden said. "Obviously we have different jerseys on now, but they've been in that situation before. They've been All-Stars so many times. Just to be alongside those guys, and the majority of the guys I was with this summer in the Olympics, it feels good."

North Jefferson News
COMMENTARY — Isn't it funny how things that don't directly pertain to you seem so minute until they start to affect you? I got to thinking about this as I was standing in line at the courthouse this past week.
I have seen the news coverage of the lines at the courthouse wrapping around blocks of downtown, and although I'm sure I should have cared, I just always figured I wouldn't have to worry about it unless I bought a new car. Since I hate to buy new items, I figured this was a distant issue — surely by the time I'm ready to purchase another car in 10 years the county will have the courthouse line issue settled. But alas, my lack of concern has now turned into hours of my life being snuffed out by waiting.
I am among the thousands of Jefferson countians who would prefer to pay my annual tag renewal online or by mail. Nothing makes me happier than feeling like I beat the system, so every time I send in my tag renewal, I have a tinge of accomplishment knowing that I skipped out on having to stand in that line by paying a little extra for a stamp and a fee.
This year is no different than all of the others. I put my pretty little check in an envelope with a copy of my license and a copy of my insurance, and off she went to accomplish what she was set forth to do.
About two weeks later I got the return envelope. I excitedly ripped it open, expecting in to find my $85 little sticker. But alas, there wasn't a sticker at all — there was my check (uncashed), my copies of my license and insurance with highlighting on them and a letter with one little check mark on it. UGH! Why can't anything be easy with Jefferson County!
Not to be concerned, I'll just figure out what they require and drive down to the Center Point courthouse. I hear there are shorter lines there.
Apparently the issue that got me kicked off my happy box is that my name changed. Yes, my name changed. I got married, and dadgum, that name change can be a real pain in the tush at times like this. With chin held high I continued to read my little letter to see what all documents I would be toting with me to the courthouse.
Wow! I had to have my original divorce papers, my marriage certificate, my original title to my car, my Social Security card, valid drivers license and proof of insurance. I was willing to give them my first-born to just get it over with after I had gone through the trouble to find all of that stuff.
Friday I got all of my ducks in a row — even called the courthouse to make 100 percent sure I had everything they could possibly want — and took off for a lunch break at the courthouse. I wanted to beat the lunch rush, so I left at 9:30 a.m. to get in and get out quicker.
When I walked in I noticed lots of unhappy people sitting in rows staring at the doors. That's when the lady pointed at a seat in the fourth row and said, "That's where you'll be for a while." Yes, there were 40 people sitting in front of me, waiting. Then I looked up at the desks and noticed that there were 20 people actually standing in line before these 40 people. Needless to say, by 2:15 p.m., I was starving and walking out the door with a simple name change on a tag. That may have been the single, most annoying thing about getting married.
As I sat in that room, watching the rows upon rows of incredibly unhappy people, it occurred to me that life isn't always happy, it isn't always fun, but it is always functional. There was no fiber of my being that wanted to be there, but while I sat, it gave me time to smile at workers who looked like no one had smiled at them in years. I got to practice holding my tongue as every sarcastic thought danced across my mind. And whether I liked it or not, it made me slow down on a Friday and just breathe.
Sometimes our days don't go exactly like we plan, but keep breathing. Keep smiling. And who knows, maybe your smile will make a difference in someone else's day.
I could have really used a smile during those hours on Friday. There were three actual working employees at that office and 12 watchers, but what good would it have done to have a bad attitude with them? No, just smile.
Smile like you don't know what's going on. If it doesn't brighten someone's day, it might confuse them badly enough that they smile anyway.

Trescothick agrees three-year extension
6:55pm Wednesday 21st November 2012 in National Sport © Press Association 2014
Former England batsman Marcus Trescothick has signed a new three-year deal with Somerset.
The 36-year-old opener, who made his first-team debut at his home county in 1993, is one of the finest players of his generation.
After a stress-related illness prematurely ended his England career, he returned to the domestic ranks in 2007 and was made Somerset captain in 2010.
The side have since become arguably the country's most consistent team across all formats but have also developed an unfortunate habit of finishing as runners-up - including twice in the LV= County Championship.
Trescothick's new deal, however, offers the tantalising and realistic prospect of leading his side to a maiden title.
Trescothick said: "It's always nice to sign a new contract with Somerset. I have been here at the club for 20 years now, and this is just another extension to my playing career.
"I'm delighted to sign this new contract which takes me to 40, which is my first target and we will go from there."
Somerset chief executive Guy Lavender said: "'Marcus is a fantastic captain, player and person, so we are delighted that he has agreed a new deal with the club, where he has played since he was 17 years old.
"We hope that he will continue to play for many years to come and that in the not too distant future he will achieve his ambition of lifting the County Championship for Somerset."

A QUEENSLAND man will spend at least six years behind bars for his part in a violent rock throwing spree near Glen Innes.
Robert Joseph Jackson, 22, pleaded guilty to using an offensive weapon in company to prevent detention and causing grievous bodily harm to a person with intent to resist arrest and was sentenced in Sydney District Court on Tuesday.
Jackson was sentenced to eight years on both charges with a minimum of six years non-parole, dating back to his arrest in 2012.
Jackson was in a car with four other people which was being chased along the New England Highway near Glen Innes by police on November 1, 2012.
Patrick Garret suffered critical injuries and had to undergo emergency brain surgery after one of the rocks thrown smashed through his windscreen and knocked him unconscious while driving home on the New England Highway.
His father, who was also in the car, managed to steer the car and bring it to a stop two kilometres down the road.
Mr Garret delivered an emotional victim impact statement during the sentencing hearing detailing the nature of his injuries.

As always, a well crafted race strategy is pretty much worthless once the race starts. This race was no different. The initial strategy was basic - get on the bike, ride, ride, ride. The strategy quickly changed to survival. Why? Well, it was hot, so hot the national weather service issued a severe weather warning. Who knows how hot it was, I don't. The thermometers were pegged past 120 deg. Yeah, the thermometers were in the sun, so... who knows.
Overall, the race was well organized, great people, great job. The course was great - nice single track, technical in spots, not much climbing, not as fast as I would expect, a ton of fun. Check out the Google Earth image, the gps data and the video. The 8 mile loop helped with our survival strategy, sub 60 minute laps allowed us to recover from the heat. Plus once the heat induced demons took over the brain (usually at mile 4.5) we only had about 20 minutes of riding until we hit the camp. So it all worked out.
Ok, enough words.
The results:
Tim - The Lt Col: Crashing, Burning & Surviving Award - 2nd Place, ~ 137.8 miles.
Judd: Just Riding, Chillin' & Sleeping Award - 4th Place, 121.54 miles.
Prob-eee: The Rookie of the Year Award - 8th Place, ~ 73.4 miles. (Yeah, he is the 1st BPR Rookie in 2010, so we aren't going out of the way by assigning this award.) Oh yeah, who's Prob-eee? Well, we don't use real names when we refer to probationary members of Back of the Pack Racing. We have a formal process - we must follow the process. Probationary members are always referred to as Prob-eee in social circles. That way us founding members can pull off the ultimate "Who, that guy? We don't know him. We don't even know his name. He had a bunch of cold beer so we invited him over." (Sorry Scott, but the hazing will continue.)
Tedd: Forget this Heat, Forget this Ride, I'm Hanging Award - 10th Place, ~ 41.4 miles.
The Lessons Learned:
1) If it is soooo hot that you think your face is melting - take a look in the mirror when you return to camp. Your face is probably not melting, but check just to be sure.
2) Horse flies would rather bite through socks and mesh on shoes - skin is too easy a target
3) Perpetuem, caffe latte flavor, turns into brownies in 120 deg heat. That would be caffe Latte flavored brownies. Just ask Scott, I mean Prob-eee
4) Plan to use all available sets of race gear. For x sets change evey 24 / (x + 1) hours
5) Don't ride like a possessed gorilla, just because - right Lt Col?
6) Wicked wounds on the 'backside' often produce an 'ooze'. The ooze definitely turns into a topical anesthetic after a couple of hours. Just block out the pain, block out the blood running down the legs, it will get better. The ooze is your friend.
7) Every race seems to be 'The World Championships' for someone out there. Yeah, some dude was trying to break the Palo Duro Canyon speed record. He almost sent us both to the ER. Well, I'm sure my 210 pound frame would survive the impact. His 140 pound frame? Who cares, he was racing in the 'Palo Duro World Championships'. He had something to prove to someone. Ok, maybe not.
8) P.S. We've got DLJ

Orchestra, choir play requiem
The Linfield Chamber Orchestra opened its final concert of the season with the rich sounds of a Felix Mendelssohn piece. But it was the second half of the concert that really stunned the audience.
The concert was titled "Reformation and Consolation" and took place May 4 at McMinnville's First Baptist Church. The church was packed to the point where it was hard to find seats, and the ushers ran out of programs.
The concert's first half featured Mendelssohn's Symphony No. 5, "Reformation." The strong chords and majestic sound got an enthusiastic applause out of the audience.
After an intermission, the Linfield Choir joined the orchestra onstage for the second half and the main feature of the concert, which was the Mozart Requiem.
"Singing with an orchestra was quite cool," sophomore Gülfem Torunlar said. "At first, I was afraid they'd be so loud we would have to sing even louder to be heard. I thought they sounded great, and they told us we sounded great, so we had a good dynamic between us."
Sophomore Lauren Pak said in an email that the orchestra typically performs one concert a year with the Linfield Choir.
"It is a good experience because, individually and as a whole, we have to be extremely aware of the voices and instruments and make sure that everything is balanced properly so that everyone can be heard at the appropriate time," Pak said. "For some movements, I felt prepared, but others were exceedingly difficult for me to play because of the rapid tempo. This orchestra has always had a high level of repertoire and the music for this concert maintained that standard."
Before they began the requiem, the conductor of the Linfield Chamber Orchestra, Michael Gesme, introduced two of the student musicians, seniors Don DeFrang and Amanda Summers. He also gave recognition to Anna Song, assistant professor of music and director of choirs, for her work with the choir.
"The most influential person is the one you don't see; it's the person who prepared the choir," Gesme announced to the audience. "And this is, bar none, the best-prepared choir I've ever worked with."
As the requiem began, it was obvious that the audience felt the same way. The choir had an energy and movement that kept everyone's attention on them, and there was a tension in the air after every movement, as if the audience was just longing to applaud.
Torunlar said although the choir felt reasonably sure of themselves the evening of the performance, they had to do a lot of things last-minute because of the choir tour schedule.
"It was quite stressful," Torunlar said. "We learned three of the movements before the choir tour, and the rest after the tour. We were like 'wow, we have a whole book to learn in a month.' I'm glad we pulled it off."
The Mozart Requiem featured five soloists. Sophomore Jaimie McDonald and senior Kayla Wilkens sang soprano, senior Jen Boston sang contralto, senior Logan Freitas sang the tenor solos and senior Jeremy Moll sang bass.
Torunlar said the choir had to put in a great deal of time and work into practicing.
"Usually, we have half-hour sectional practices, but then we started doing 45-minute sectionals and then hour sectionals," Torunlar said. "I feel like we practiced so much, if we would have practiced it any more, we would have gotten bored. As it was, there was some nostalgia after we finished it."
The requiem's final chord was so strong that the audience sat for a moment in awed silence, broken only by a hushed "Wow!" from one audience member, before bursting into a thunderous standing ovation.
"It was a really cool experience, and I'm glad I got to sing it," Torunlar said. "[Song] kept telling us groups don't usually do this requiem because it's so challenging. That felt epic. We felt so tough, doing this thing that not many choirs do."
Pak said she thought the concert went extremely well overall.
"It is the best the LCO has ever sounded, and I am so grateful to have been a part of such a great performance," Pak said.

The reason for this is because the speed of light is a constant. When you look at a star, you're actually seeing the star not the way it looks now, but the way it looked years ago, when the light was emitted from the star on its way toward Earth. Looking at a star 10 light-years away means that you're actually looking at what that star looked like 10 years ago, because the light left the star 10 years ago and traveled 10 years to get here. The big bang, by current estimates, was roughly 14 billion years ago, so trying to look back there means developing telescopes that can make out objects that are about 14 billion light-years away ... no mean feat.
These two new European satellites will search not for visible light, like the recently repaired Hubble telescope, but for light in ranges of the electromagnetic spectrum that Hubble couldn't detect. Herschel is, with a 11.5 ft mirror, the largest telescope in space. It will examine the infrared range of light, which will allow it to detect the formation of early protostars that elude the observations in the visible light range. The Planck telescope, on the other hand, will explore the "fossil radiation" from the cosmic microwave background radiation in greater detail, providing greater information about large-scale structures in the universe, such as galaxies.

- May 15, 2009 at 11:10 am(1) Anthony M. says:
It should probably be noted that the telescopes referenced in your article work by sensing electromagnetic radiation. Prior to 300,000 years after the Big Bang, electromagnetic radiation had not yet formed. Thus, to see the events prior to this threshold would require a different kind of 'telescope' (sensing instrument).
On a different note, I believe your explanation of the distances of interstellar objects with respect to the speed of light does not take into account the expansion of the universe. For example: an object that was 10 billion light years away from Earth 10 billion years ago may now be closer to 27 billion years away due to the expansion of the universe. Thus, the light has further to travel.
- May 15, 2009 at 6:31 pm(2) Trent D. says:
I don't think the universe is expanding to be honest. It's never ending. Stven Hawking is out of his mind anyway.
"The Universe is expanding."
"Yeah sure it is Steven. Why don't you take a vacation?"
"Take a walk, well no not a walk but…open up a window or something."
- May 17, 2009 at 10:23 pm(3) hidflect says:
I'm a little confused about the whole "looking back in time" idea on one point. It makes sense if you're talking about a star one light year away, but if you looked back at the center of the universe, surely all the light emanating from that point would've rushed past us already unless we were pushed from the center of the explosion at a speed faster than light to this outlying point (14 Billion light years away) arriving in time to be AHEAD of the light coming from the center?
- May 19, 2009 at 6:08 am(4) Ross Swanson says:
how can you "prove" that what you're looking at is the big bang. Science is full of "what if's" that cannot be answered. There are many other ways to explain what you are looking at.
- May 25, 2009 at 1:16 pm(5) Burt Jordaan says:
Anthony M. (comment 1) has a point, but the reality is perhaps even more modest than that. The first protostars (mentioned) should theoretically have a redshift around z=20, which is far cry away from the Big Bang (BB) where z -> infinity, or even from the electromagnetic limit (the CMB at z~1100). As he said, it will need some other form of sensor to "see the BB", perhaps a super-duper gravitational wave sensor.

Your numbers don't add up! If we are seeing light from a galaxy 12 billion light years away which left the galaxy when the universe was only 2 billion years old the galaxy had to be traveling at 6 times the speed of light go get that far from where the earth is now.

Okay, say we do develop this mega-powerful telescope. Which way do we point it? I say any direction since every point 14 billion years out in space is the big bang nucleus. Aren't we inside the big bang explosion shell?

There never was a Big Bang. One single big measuring error. Because they didn't know that our central star, the sun wobbles. See here:

trent d. dont blame hawkins, it was einstein that proposed the universe was expanding. hawkin's at first thought it would expand to a point and collapse back in on itself. this has been revised. the universe will continue to expand until we break down into our atomic parts (due to the speed of light). so gripe at einstein eh? and while your at it, try and disprove the theory of relativity.
to "find the big bang" u measure using "cosmic radiation" otherwise known as background radiation, not using redshift. although redshifting light/electro does prove that galaxies are expanding away from one another (cept in collision cases like ours will unfortunately do with andromeda). i will remind ya'll that the epoch just after the big bang is known as the "dark age of the universe". and i will also remind ya'll that we can pretty much show where the epicenter was using the spherical shaped cosmic radiation mapping that nasa has completed. we also can predict how fast the qalaxies are moving in relation to this epicenter. we use these in our astronomical equations. gentlemen, every question posed in the comments here can be settled using math we have proven and used. tho complicated in the scope of the equations, we have been doing it for quite some time.

u all assume their was light in the beginning…
suggest you read about the dark age of the universe and the consequential formation of stars…AFTER the big bang.

Zulu, you are right there never was a Big Bang but what you said is not the reason, you see the reason there never was a Big Bang was because God, the Creator of all things, created the Universe. "In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth." Genesis 1:1. Read the Bible, I advise you wisely the world is coming to an end!! Be prepared to go to Heaven to meet Jesus.
Oh, and the world, the whole Universe, is only about 6000 years old.

You are right to be confused 'hidflect'. I am no expert but have just watched a documentary on the Big Bang, and whilst my understanding of it may not be accurate, I got the impression that yes Planet Earth (or the particles which preceded its existence) was indeed 'pushed beyond' at a faster rate than the speed of light.
Scientists estimate that when the Big Bang occurred, what became the Universe expanded from the size of an atom to a tennis ball (the equivalent of a golf ball to the size of Earth) in a million million million millionth of a second. (This is measured in Planck time – have a read up on it and it may answer you questions more accurately than I can). However, that is far faster than the speed of light and although the rate slowed over time, I believe that that is ultimately the process that has enabled us to be so many light years away from Stars now.
Perhaps someone can correct me on this if I am wrong, but that is my understanding.

Yes, I will correct you Ben, the Earth was made by God. There was never any Big Bang. There was only nothingness until God created the things on the world like trees, animals, humans and everything you could ever think of besides the stuff that is worldly as in video games, makeup, jewelery, and all the other stuff and the reason God didn't create that stuff is because those are the things that displease Him.
And again I am advising you to read the Bible, the end is near and God is coming to get His people and you will see then if you don't heed to what I am saying, you will see!!

Yes it is true. The universe is just some liberal conspiracy to trick people astray from God. They try to use scientific mumbo jumbo to show a universe that doesnt exist, its all smoke and mirrors. Glenn Beck has confirmed the hubble doesnt exist and the money for it secretly goes to global warming alarmists. Read the bible people! Its the only true science there is.
- January 1, 2011 at 7:57 am(14) LB says:
So does this mean that everything in existence would have to reflect enough light that if a powerful enough telescope did exist if you looked at a planet 500 light years away you would be able to see down to the accuracy of a blade of grass? Does light lose its integrity as it travels through space?
- February 14, 2011 at 8:47 am(15) Corey says:
Umm not quite sure on this theory. If 10 lightyears is 10 years ago then shouldn't 14 million years ago be 14 million lightyears away?

Thank you Joe, finally someone who agrees with me! You really encouraged me to keep encouraging people. Thank you.

very presumptious of us humans
how can you see something that happened out of nothing
the laws of physics would not of applied then as all the laws of the universe were established after the force interacted and its effects became visible in our formed expanding universe at best mabey we could see the edge of the rupture as the enegy that makes the basic fundamental particles exist shows its effect as it pushes out the edge of our universe expanding it exponentially and perhaps meaning that the process of forming our universe is still active at the edge of our universe

When we look at a star, we're actually seeing the star not the way it looks now, but the way it looked years ago, when the light was emitted from the star on its way toward Earth.but hera how scientist know it was 400 million light away from earth though if the telescope sending electro magnetic wave,that will take million year to reach star and to return back it takes million year,that means the sending wave return after 2 million years from today.so my question is how the telescope make it possible today.

Albany -- The three colleges in Albany will come together Friday to host a Veteran's Day Observance at Albany State University.
The tribute will honor all Veterans, not forgetting the men and women who have served in Iraq and recently returned home, and those still serving today.
Darton College, Albany Tech, and Albany State will combine to host the Veteran's Day Observance, with music from the Darton and Albany State bands and choirs, and the Albany Marine Band.
College leaders think this will help instill patriotism in the students. "It lets us reflect on veteran's of the past, and it brings us to know what is really going on now in terms of our Iraqi Freedom issues," says A.S.U.
Continuing Education Coord. Olivia I. Morman. The Veteran's Day Observance will begin at 11 AM Friday at the Albany State University Pedestrian Mall.Feedback: firstname.lastname@example.com?subject=VeteransdayCollege-JW

Their tastes may not be the same."
"Liberty means responsibility.
That is why most men dread it."
"Hell is full of musical amateurs."

"This is the true joy in life,
the being used for a purpose recognized by yourself as a mighty one;
the being throroughly worn out before you are thrown on the scrap heap;
the being a force of Nature instead of a feverish selfish little
clod of ailments and grievances complaining that
the world will not devote itself to making you happy."
