Now the Iranians are saying the British sailors might be tried:
If Britain continued its current approach to the standoff, Larijani told Iranian state radio, "this case may face a legal path. British leaders have miscalculated this issue."
I think there's no question the Brits have made some miscalculations, beginning with the lack of firepower at the start of it. The actual details of the situation involved in the sailors' abduction is unclear, though; I've read many conflicting reports.
I hope Iran has miscalculated as well, in its opinion that it has nothing to fear by actions of this sort. They seem to believe the West is, in the old phrase, a "paper tiger— a gargantuan Gulliver bound, tied, and rendered helpless by its own busy internal Lilliputians.
Who's the audience for the latest show trial? Certainly not the West; all but the fringiest of the fringe is aware of the bogus nature of such a trial. My guess is that they are playing to their own masses, who may or may not be buying what they're selling.
It used to be that propaganda of this sort had more effect back in the days when it was easier to regulate the dissemination of information to a population. A country such as North Korea still does this quite effectively, but the price North Korea pays is isolation from the rest of the world and economic stagnation. Iran 's people have more conduits of competing information through which to judge the truth or falsehood of the antics of their own government.
But of course there's no need for a show trial to ever happen. Threatening one has another effect—making Iran seem powerful, and Britain and the West weak as we fumble around for the proper response, and as we say things like the following, from Britain's Foreign Office:
This doesn't change our position, we have made it perfectly clear that our personnel were in Iraqi waters and we continue to request immediate consular access to them and their immediate release.
Note the polite language: "request." I can only hope they are doing more than "requesting" behind the scenes. But for public consumption, what we mostly hear is a sort of exquisite politeness from the Brits. Here's Foreign Secretary Margaret Beckett:
I am concerned. [Iran's ambassador to Moscow] is not the first person to have made sabre-rattling noises…The message I want to send is I think everyone regrets that this position has arisen. What we want is a way out of it.
I personally don't think that's the right message to send. There's a sort of wistful wishful thinking here, a refusal to understand the nature of the opposition, a denial that can only be described as potentially suicidal.
Blair has been a little more energized, but not very much more, considering the circumstances:
Blair told reporters in Manchester that the "parading and manipulation" of British service personnel would "fool no one," and would only "enhance people's sense of disgust with Iran."
And another Foreign Office official called the parading "outrageous."
Outrage and disgust are fine, but they are emotions, and fairly impotent ones at that. What are needed are credible threats of a certain course of events—economic and otherwise—that will be followed by the West if the sailors are not returned immediately. A bit of "sabre-rattling" wouldn't be out of line, either.
The truth is that the precedent for this sort of thing favors Iran, and Iran knows it. Milk it as much as possible for the propaganda value, and know that the West will probably mouth platitudes while the show goes on.

Lucky Spencer: Street-smart child, mind control victim, cop, addict, husband, father. Lucky has been part of General Hospital since he was a child of ten, and the character has had several faces. Jonathan Jackson, Jakob Young, and Greg Vaughan have all played a different face of Lucky throughout his years on General Hospital
Jonathan Jackson (1993-1999)
Early Years
Lucky was born in Texas to Luke and Laura Spencer, and for the first ten years, he moved around a lot, as his parents were avoiding mobster Frank Smith. Lucky was raised to think on his feet and be independent. When danger reached the family-owned diner in Canada, the Spencers decided to head home and face their demons. Luke and Laura went one route and sent Lucky on his own. Once in Port Charles, Lucky was hidden at Kelly's by his Aunt Ruby, but Smith's men came after him. Lucky took off and met a relative, Sly Eckert, also a young boy. Sly's father was Luke's cousin Bill Eckert, who looked enough like Luke that Frank Smith's men killed him. Lucky, Laura, and Luke were reunited, but they were in for a rough time. Shortly after arriving, Lucky followed Luke to a meeting and was shot. Fortunately, he recovered.
The Spencer family settled in Port Charles and welcomed a new baby, Lulu Lucky also learned that he had a half-brother, Laura's son with Stavros Cassadine, Nikolas. Not even Luke knew that when Laura was held in captivity by the Cassadines, she had Stavros' child. Nikolas came to Port Charles when Lulu needed a bone marrow transplant. He and Lucky did not hit it off, especially when they both developed a crush on Sarah Webber, who favored Nikolas.
Lucky Falls for Elizabeth Webber
Lucky, however, became involved with Sarah's sister, Elizabeth, after she was raped in the park and Lucky found her there, bruised and battered. They worked together to find her rapist, and Lucky became protective toward Elizabeth. The two fell in love. During a fight with Lucky, Nikolas told his half-brother that Luke had raped Laura before they were married. After confronting his parents, Lucky left home and began to live over Jason Morgan's bike shop. Elizabeth urged Lucky to understand and forgive his parents, which he did, though he continued to live independently. The two planned a future together. It wasn't to be. One night, there was a fire at Jason's shop. A burned body was found in Lucky's room, with a necklace Lucky ahd given to Elizabeth. The supposition was that Lucky was dead.
For a year, everyone believed Lucky was dead. About a year after Lucky's "death," Cesar Faison died in an explosion, but not before telling Luke that Lucky was alive. Faison had kidnapped Lucky and programmed him on instructions from Helena.
Jacob Young (February 25, 2000 to February 10, 2003)
Luke Searches for Lucky
Luke investigated what Cesar told him and began coming across clues to Lucky's whereabouts, all of which were set up by Helena. Luke and Laura retraced their past following clues to the Haunted Star, to the Ice Princess Island, and to Texas. Lastly, they went to the Triple L Diner that they ran in Canada. There, Helena gave Lucky bus fare and freed him. Lucky wasn't happy to see his parents; he hit Luke and ran away.
Next: Lucky's Mind in Captivity
Lucky Tries to Move On
Free of Helena, Lucky and Liz reunited. Lucky found that he really felt no love for Elizabeth, probably due to what Helena had done to him. But he wanted to make her happy. They planned a New Year's Eve wedding, but Gia Campbell informed Elizabeth that Lucky no longer loved her. The wedding was canceled. They tried to start over, but it was slow going. After a car accident involving Gia and Eizabeth, Nikolas, Gia, Elizabeth, and Lucky wound up living at Windemere, as well as Elizabeth's sister Sarah, who had returned to Port Charles.
Gia had caused the car accident, and Helena knew it, so Nikolas helped her escape. This infuriated Lucky, but he kept the secret. When Elizabeth found out what had happened during the accident, she was angry that everyone had protected Gia and kept the truth from her. She broke up with Nikolas and became estranged from Gia and Nikolas.
Lucky again was attracted to Sarah; the two entered into a relationship, though Maxie Jones was also interested in Lucky. When he rejected Maxie, she told Elizabeth about Sarah and Lucky. Sarah was jealous of Elizabeth. When Elizabeth was involved in an explosion and Lucky ran to her, Sarah left Port Charles. Lucky went back to being a photographer for Deception.
Luke and Laura Disappear
Now reunited, Luke and Laura planned a wedding for late summer. As Laura planned it, she had flashbacks of a night in the attic of her childhood home. Luke then poked around in the attic for clues and discovered an old camera with film in it. Lucky developed it; the first picture was of a young Scott Baldwin covered in blood. While Luke pursued the new lead, Lucky began to develop another photo. Before he was finished, Luke realized what it was and took off in search of Laura.
When Luke and Laura failed to appear for their wedding, Lucky and Nikolas searched the attic for clues. They found Rick Webber, Laura's stepfather, dead. Both believed that Luke killed him. They placed Rick in his car, doused him with alcohol, and pushed the car off of a cliff. However, Scott and Mac suspected that it was not a drunk-driving accident. Lucky and Nikolas were frantic over what had happened to Laura. Lucky was relieved when he heard from Luke, but this did not appease Nikolas. He informed Scott of Luke and Laura's location. They were gone when Mac and Scotty arrived. They were captured when they went back to the attic. Laura suffered a complete breakdown, believing herself a teenager. She was committed to a mental institution. Luke was arrested for Rick's murder.

Guest Blogger: The Perfect Family Gift
December 15, 2010 at 2:43 pm , by Catherine LeFebvre
It's getting down to the wire for holiday shopping (only 10 shopping days left 'til Christmas!), so this week we turned to Merrier Shopping's June Pfaff Daley for some expert gift-giving advice. She tackled one of the trickier items on most everyone's list: the family who already has everything.
A few weeks ago, the following reader e-mail came my way:
"Ok, I need help! My kids have it all (I am not bragging.) I want to give them time together as a family. I have 3 daughters with 3 children each and a husband. I would like to put together a package of things to do together. (movie tickets, events, etc. ) not a lot of money, but maybe $100 per family. Any ideas?
Thank you, Sally"
I thought this was a great question. After all, many of us are in the same boat, wondering what to buy a family on our list that already has pretty much everything. I admire Sally for wanting to give them time together as a family. What better gift? Here are several ideas to assemble the perfect family gift:
Family Night Out
One of our favorite family date nights is dinner out and a trip to the bookstore. You could gift a similar evening by purchasing a gift certificate to a local pizza parlor along with a gift certificate to a bookstore. Package the certificates with a classic book like Curious George and the Pizza or More Spaghetti, I Say! to tie the two together. After pizza, the family could go to the book store where every family member gets to pick a book.
Movie Night In
Purchase several classic family-friendly DVDs like The Sound of Music, Annie and The Wizard of Oz. Include a popcorn making machine such as the West Bend Stir Crazy (we love ours!) or the Presto Hot Air Popper. Include popcorn kernels along with movie-size boxed candies. You could also include cups with lids so drinks can be enjoyed with no spills on the family carpet.

Holiday Gifts for Your Favorite Gleeks
November 19, 2010 at 9:21 am , by Sonia Harmon
Okay, I'll admit it: I'm a gleek. Never heard of a "gleek" before? That's the nickname Glee followers have adopted since the hit musical-comedy about a high school show choir exploded onto the television scene last year. Glee has had a myriad of guest stars (from Olivia Newton John to Josh Groban), the cast sold out a 13-date live tour this past summer, and over 17 million songs from the show have been digitally downloaded (one recent hit was the cast's rendition of Katy Perry's "Teenage Dream," which I urge you to check out for yourself here). Needless to say, the show has quite a following with kids and adults alike, and you've probably got a Glee fan or two on your holiday gift shopping list (or maybe you're a gleek yourself!). Luckily, several Glee-themed items recently hit stores and make great holiday gifts.
Karaoke Revolution: Glee for Wii, $58
Gleeks can now sing their favorite Glee songs at home karaoke-style! A microphone comes with the game, and you can test your singing ability as video montages with exclusive content from the show run in the background.
Glee Season One Gift Set with collectible journal, $40
As if the first season of Glee on DVD with over two hours of bonus footage isn't cool enough, this gift set comes with a special Glee journal that kids will love.
Glee: The Music, The Christmas Album, $10
Whether you're a gleek or not, you'll enjoy listening to the cast's renditions of holiday classics including "Deck the Rooftop" and "Baby, It's Cold Outside."
Now tell us, are you or is someone you know a big fan of Glee? Will you buy any Glee gifts this year?

Beauty Coach: Best Beauty Shopping Sites, Part 2
December 10, 2009 at 1:45 pm , by Erica Metzger
Yikes, it's two weeks until Christmas! The window for finding the perfect gift is getting smaller and smaller. I'm way behind on my list, but I have a plan of action: sleep in on Saturday, make a big cup of coffee and then shop in my pj's. As usual, I will be giving the gift of beauty to my loved ones. (In my experience, you can never go wrong with a gorgeous palette or a pretty candle). I covered a few of my favorite beauty websites in a previous post, but I realize I left out some good ones, so here goes!
Best for a Budget: I love Bath and Body Works' great fragrances, especially the Twilight Woods scent. The quality and packaging is on par with expensive department fragrances. When it comes to makeup, I'm toying with Victoria's Secret for a fun lip gloss set or a dazzling eye palette.
Best for Impressing: These boutique brands are a bit pricier, but they never fail to wow.
L'Occitane.com's fragrance offerings and shea butter formulas are amazing. These hand creams are the perfect hostess, teacher, neighbor, etc gift. Or keep one for yourself and give the other two as stocking stuffers.
I have lots of favorites from Fresh.com (the Soy Face line is to die for), but I would highly recommend this gorgeously wrapped soap or a luxe candle.
Spoiler alert! The dudes nearest and dearest to my heart will most definitely get something in their stockings from Kiehls.com.
Best for Nervous Nellies: If you tend to experience first-time jitters when ordering something from a new site, then stick to sites where you already shop and trust. As a founding member and president of Nervous Nellies Anoynomous (oops, the cat's out of the bag), I was thrilled to find out that my favorite websites Amazon.com and Zappos.com also carry a great selection of boutique beauty brands.
Check out our holiday gift guide for more easy shopping ideas and happy holidays, ladies!

Ohio State research: Teen Mentors Inspire Healthier Choices in Younger Children; Mentored Kids Lose Weight, Move More Than Those Taught by Adults. An obesity intervention taught by teen mentors in Appalachian elementary schools resulted in weight loss, lower blood pressure and healthy lifestyle changes among the younger students learning the curriculum, according to a new study.
In contrast, children taught the same lessons by adults in a traditional classroom saw no changes in their health outcomes.
The results of the eight-week clinical trial conducted by Ohio State University researchers suggest that school systems could consider using teen mentors to instruct younger children in select health-related programs.
In the study, all instructors taught lessons from a program called "Just for Kids!" that was developed by the University of California, San Francisco.
For one hour after school each week, teen mentors met one-on-one with students in a large gym setting while another group of students was taught in a classroom by school system employees, such as librarians or administrative staff.

When I reluctantly read this article today, it bothered me. At first I thought the reason it bugged me was simply because I dislike Lane Kiffin. Any one of his quotes at this point have the ability to really get under my skin and I was sure that was the case here. That was until I remembered something Joel had written a while back.
It's time to look to the future, and obsessing about Kiffin merely gives him power over us he does not deserve. I for one intend to deny him that.
This made me feel better for a minute, remembering that Kiffin is going to be Kiffin, and getting upset over something he says is pretty useless. However, even after I reminded myself of this fact, the article still bothered me. What I hated was the fact that the whole story of his departure and the ensuing "riots" showing the ugliest side of our fandom kept getting retold. Then it hit me.
If theres one thing I learned about Lane Kiffin's coaching philosophy its this: Everything traces back to recruiting. Everything.
By having his wife Layla go on HBO and talk about, in explicit detail, the nature of the threats she received the night that Kiffin took the job at USC, immediately the perception of his departure is changed. Suddenly the story isn't about how Lane skipped town in the middle of the night leaving about 100 college athletes who trusted him and millions of fans who wanted to believe in him. He and his family are the victim.
Side note, I am in no way condoning or trying to say in any way that taking another job is more offensive than death threats to a family that did nothing to hurt anyone, and I'm not claiming that we as Tennessee fans are victims of anything.
What I'm trying to point out is that none of this stuff is new information. Kiffin was telling the world about this months ago. Why go onto a premium cable program and retell this story months later? Whats the point?
If you're ever stumped by something Lane Kiffin related, just remember that all roads lead to recruiting.
No... you don't think Kiffin would leverage threats on his family for a simple "Tennessee fans are insane rednecks" pitch with a kid who's trying to choose between Tennessee and USC, would you? In a heart beat.
I wouldn't be shocked if he used this to recruit against the entire SEC. One of the top selling points to playing in the SEC is the passion and excitement of the respective fanbase. Kiffin has some ability now to flip that passion on its head.
Thats what ultimately bothered me about this piece. The fact that it can be used to take what was basically a few hundred students acting like college students and call it a riot, (surely no one in LA would react this way) and to take what is the extreme minority of a fanbase and use it to try and associate our institution with the worst side of humanity.
This could be all speculation on my part. Maybe Lane Kiffin simply was being begged by HBO to do this piece and he was just being gracious with the media... but I doubt it.
With Kiffin its always about what he can gain... and 11 times out of 10, that goes back to recruiting.

This is the 1st of many scouting reports I plan on posting on GGN for the upcoming draft. I will try and post as many scouting reports on guys in areas that we need. If anyone has any requests for players they would like me to scout, feel free to ask and I'll do my best to accommodate as many as possible.
C.J Fiedorowicz TE Iowa 6'7" 265lbs
My draft Grade 3rd/4th round
College Stats:
2013 23Rec 230Yds and 5Td's
2012 45Rec 433Yds and 1Td
2011 16Rec 167Yds and 3Td's
C.J is the best blocking TE in this year's draft. A behemoth of a guy, he uses his huge frame to keep leverage when blocking and shows a strong base when sealing off the point of attack on runs to his side. He seems to have no problems blocking bigger D-Line guys too. Has has the potential to be an every down player in the NFL and with some coaching could be the best blocking TE in the NFL( ex-Jet Ben Hartsock leads the way this year according to PFF) and a very good red zone and play action target.
Fiedorowicz has limited athleticism but he still uses it to good effect in the passing game. He consistently uses his much larger frame to box out and bully defenders but struggles to get in and out of his breaks. He won't run past many defenders after the catch but shows the ability to power through tackles and gain extra yardage that way. Good hands and an above average route runner, he has plenty of room to improve in this area of his game.
Although not slow, his speed is limited. Won't gain much separation in man coverage but he attack's the ball at its highest point, making it almost impossible for the defender to make a play. He has a knack of finding the hole in zone coverage and sits down well for easy completions.
Overall I think he would be a very nice addition to our Offence. He would help improve our run game straight away and I would be very interested to see what type of scheme's MM would come up with to best utilise his talents and size in the passing game. I think we have missed having a good blocking TE on our team. Our O-Line has regressed a lot over the last few years and although not a glamorous pick, having someone like C.J would be a must if we are to get better on Offence.
Here is some video of C.J in action. Hopefully this will give you a feel for what he could potentially bring to our Offence.
Feedback is always welcomed so feel free to let me know what you think. Thanks

Team Matty - Head for the Cure 5k Wichita, KS by Team Matty - 4 months ago
"For us, it started out like any other Saturday morning. We had breakfast and then Matt was off to get his eyes checked as we were sure that was what was causing his headaches. Not long after he arrived at the Dr's office he sent a text "They want me to get an MRI". Within a few hours we heard the words that would change our lives forever. "A very large mass on the right front lobe of your brain. It is cancer." He was 20 years old. By Sunday afternoon, 24 hours later, the tennis ball size tumor had been removed, or at least 90% of it. Matty bounced back like a true warrior despite major pain and swelling and on Thursday afternoon we walked out of the hospital, confident that the worst was behind us. Within a few weeks the swelling was so bad that they had to put in a VP shunt. Within about a month they removed the shunt as it had caused massive infection. He was now experiencing grand mal seizures, loss of memory and functionality. Shortly after that he was fired from his job and we added major anxiety and depression to our list of issues. Basically, everything that could go wrong did go wrong. He continued to focus on school and within just over a year he graduated top of his class at ITT Tech. It was truly a highlight of his life. After 6 weeks of radiation, 11 months of chemo and 5 stays in the hospital we finally heard the words "no evidence of tumor" and it looked like we were finally getting a break! With his confidence at an all-time high he accepted a job in San Francisco, California and we moved him out there. There were many struggles during the 18 months he was there. He had just gotten his dream job working for Google when we realized the infection had never really gone away and two more surgeries would be required. The first was to remove the infected brain plate and start him on aggressive antibiotics. Of course, during that time the cancer returned and by the time they were able to replace the brain plate the tumor had grown to the size of a fist. It was stage 4 and angry. The doctor was so aggressive in the recession of the tumor for the fifth and final surgery that Matty lost half of his eyesight in both eyes, the use of his entire left side, his short term memory and some of his cognitive skills. We managed to get him home to Valley Center, Kansas after an extensive stay in the hospital and quickly signed up for a clinical trial through Mayo Clinic. But to no avail. Just days after his 24th birthday, we were told there was nothing more they could do. Matty wanted to go home and party with his family and friends and that is just what we did. For the 3 weeks and 3 days he was with us we opened our home to anyone, anytime. Friends and family came from all over the country to spend time with him, reminisce about the good times and embrace the present, soaking in every moment with him. It was such a difficult time filled with tears, laughter, heartbreak, stress and always love. Lots of love. Matthew came into this world on a Sunday morning at 8:53am as a content happy baby boy and left on a Sunday morning at 8:35am as a peaceful young man ready to let go of this life and seek out new adventures. During his entire fight Matthew displayed a kindness and gentleness that amazed us all. He always thanked everyone for their assistance and never lost his patience, despite severe pain at times. He was constantly trying to help people feel comfortable with his cancer, with a ready quip or comeback to make them laugh. Often times when a nurse finally arrived with pain meds to help with a horrible headache he would purpose marriage and make them know he appreciated their efforts. His final effort to help others was to donate his body to science. It was his hope that somehow he just might help find a cure so others would not have to endure what he did. We intend to continue his legacy by contributing to and becoming involved in all of the various organizations focused on brain tumor research. Our wish is for everyone to enjoy today, whatever it brings, make the most of it. Our dear Matthew is gone in body but he lives on in our hearts and our memories. We are all better people for having shared in his journey and experienced first hand his determination and courage while never losing his sense of humor. Matthew is our hero and we just hope that we can make him as proud of us as we are of him! "

Toledo (20-2, 8-1 MAC) looks to maintain its torrid pace on Sunday, Feb. 10 when it battles Ball State (11-11, 8-1 MAC). Tip-off time is set for 2:00 p.m. in James A. Worthen Arena.
The Rockets, who are a conference-best No. 46 nationally in the latest RPI rankings, are deadlocked with the Cardinals for the best overall mark in the league, one game ahead of Central Michigan (13-9, 7-2 MAC) in the ultra-competitive MAC West Division.
The Midnight Blue & Gold, which is 11-1 away from Savage Arena this season, enters Sunday's MAC spotlight encounter in the midst of an eight-game win streak following Wednesday's 80-49 triumph at Miami.
UT utilized a 38-2 run over the course of both halves against the MAC East Division leading RedHawks to secure its 18th straight victory against a cross-division opponent. The Rockets ended the first half with a 24-2 burst and scored the opening 14 points after the intermission to build an insurmountable cushion.
Senior Kyle Baumgartner paced four Rockets in double figures with a season-high 17 points and a season-best nine rebounds. Baumgartner knocked down a career-high five triples to tally double digits for the second time this season.
Joining Baumgartner in double digits were junior Andola Dortch (15 pts.), senior Lecretia Smith (10 pts.) and sophomore Inma Zanoguera (10 pts.).
Dortch added a collegiate-best eight steals, senior Yolanda Richardson ripped down 10 rebounds and senior Naama Shafir dished out seven assists to help UT achieve the 20-victory mark for a fourth-straight year.
The Rockets shot 46.2 percent (30-of-65) from the floor, including a sparkling 41.7 percent (10-of-24) from beyond the arc, to score at least 80 points for the third time in 2012-13.
The Midnight Blue & Gold also posted a 43-36 edge on the boards and totaled more assists (17) than turnovers (13) for the 11th time this season. On the defensive end of the court, the Rockets forced Miami into committing 25 turnovers and translated them into 23 points.
Miami was limited to 29.2 percent (14-of-48) from the field and posted its lowest scoring output of the season.
For the season, the Rockets are fueled offensively by the quartet of Shafir, Dortch, Richardson and Zanoguera, who are averaging 11.7, 11.7, 9.2 and 8.9 ppg, respectively. This group accounts for 63.4 percent of the team's scoring.
Toledo will face a red-hot BSU squad that has won its last six contests, most recently claiming a 68-61 victory vs. Central Michigan on Thursday. Nathalie Fontaine led three Cardinals in double figures with a game-high 23 points. Katie Murphy added 15 points with a team-high 10 boards.
BSU features a balanced attack with six players averaging at least 7.0 points paced by Fontaine's 13.2 ppg and 6.2 rpg. The Cardinals are 6-4 at home this season.
Toledo leads the all-time series with Ball State, 49-18, winning the last six games against its division foe by an average of 13.3 ppg (65.3-52.0).
A season ago, UT won both contests against BSU, 63-48 at home (Jan. 19) and 70-65 on the road (Feb. 28) to sweep the regular-season series for a second consecutive season.
Toledo also holds a 21-11 edge in games played in Worthen Arena, but has lost six of the last eight matchups in Muncie.
Sunday's MAC West Division showdown will showcase two of the premier defensive teams in the league. The Rockets currently lead the MAC in scoring defense (49.7 ppg), as well as ranking fourth in overall field goal percentage defense (35.3%) and sixth in three-point field goal percentage defense (31.8%) in league contests. The Cardinals sit second in overall field goal percentage defense (33.4%) and three-point field goal percentage defense (26.2%) and third in scoring defense (53.3 ppg).
Following Sunday's contest, Toledo will entertain Kent State on Saturday, Feb. 16. Tipoff is scheduled for 2:00 p.m. in Savage Arena.

As a lifelong Syracuse fan, I've popped into 'Troy Nunes is a Magician' a handful of times...and in the back of my mind I may have briefly wondered to myself "geez, troy nunes is an interesting former Syracuse player" to name a blog/site after. But today's day at work is moving tremendously slow...so I began killing time with Orangemen-related blogs and the such. With more time to think about it, I'm borderline stunned/disgusted that someone would name a blog after this guy. (I'm not trying to sound like I hate him or something, and I'm sure he is a nice enough human being, but really....Troy Nunes?!?) I know he racked up some decent career numbers in his time, but didn't he never really come close to his potential and always combust at a big moment?
So maybe using the Nunes name was the joke...and in that case....it worked because it always kind of makes me laugh. Good work on the blog posts and thanks for providing the avenue for people to come together and talk Orangemen (I still hate "Orange").
But next time you start a blog....I beg you to us any of the following beside Troy Nunes: Donovan, Qudry, Marvin Harrison, Dwight Freeney, Laz Sims, Adrian Autry, Matt Roe, Carmelo's Corner, Hakim, Orinze, Etan, or any of the 200 more appropriate football or basketball alumni? (Sorry, had to get that off my chest.)

This will be a long post, full of raw data, but I've spent many hours grading game film, so that several incorrect assumptions about our DL personnel could be clarified. As I promised, on this thread.
(If my play analysis shows me to be wrong, I'll admit it freely, BTW.)
But it didn't.
This also answers criticism of Hardy that derived from an earlier thread. I let this early thread go by, without much comment, but when Revshawn was so laudatory in his praise of James, and repeated the myth (about our Run Defense), I started taking a look - because I thought that they were seeing it wrong.
I don't post often about Cap Space, because contracts are so fluid, and I have no idea of management's intentions.
And I similarly avoid much involvement in Mock Drafts, because, as my good friend, Jake Humphrey once said, about college players:
Proper evaluation is an inexact science.
More than that, I have no dog in the fight, from college affiliations, and, again, have no idea of management intentions, as to what they perceive their needs to be. I don't do windows, or FF, and I don't play a GM on TV.
All that said, if it's evaluation of a particular NFL player, with film available to study, I'll put forth the effort to justify an opinion, not just wing it with a cursory, off-the-cuff comment.
All that's preamble. Here we go, from what I gleaned from intensive study of the 2 Panther games I still had on DVR: game 14, at Houston; and game 15, vs Tampa Bay.
They are admittedly only an 1/8th of the last season, but they both came late, and therefore better represent what the future might hold, rather than much earlier games, with rawer talent. And one was a home game, one away. One was against a highly touted Division Winner; the other vs a dog loser with a coach who was a dead man walking.
I have every defensive play individually described, and if anyone wants details, ask. But here's the summary of those 2 games, as to how the reps were divided among our DL, and especially what spots were manned, how often, by Charles Johnson and Greg Hardy. Remember, the main thrust of this whole endeavor is to dispel the myth that Hardy is responsible for only one side of our DL, and it's the side that was ranked 32nd in the NFL.
Game 14, 12/18/11, at Houston, won by Carolina, 28-13.
Our Defense held the Texans to only 10 series, a total of 60 plays.
First, the reps. This will show the DL coaches really get everybody involved, with constant shuttling in subs, which the casual observer probably doesn't notice.
Charles Johnson, 47 plays (21 at LDE, 23 at RDE, 3 at RDT.)
Greg Hardy, 50 plays (21 at LDE, 22 at RDE, 3 at LDT, 4 at RDT.)
Andre Neblett, 40 at DT
Frank Kearse, 23 at DT
Jason Shirley, 23 at DT
Ogemdi Nwagbuo, 14 at DT
Thomas Keiser, 25 plays (16 at LDE, 9 at RDE)
Antwan Applewhite, 18 plays (3 at LDE, 8 at LDT, 1 at RDT, 6 at RDE)
Second, the results, (but only on their 25 rushes, because we're not concerned with pass defense in any of these discussions):
4 runs around their LE gained +6, -1, +2, and +7 yds (the 1st 3 of those were when Hardy was RDE, the last Johnson)
4 runs were off their LT: +1, +8, +5, +15. (the first and last were vs Hardy, the other 2, Johnson)
7 runs off LG gained +1, +9, +5, +5, +4, +1, and +3.
3 off RG netted +4, +22, and +6.
3 off RT went for +4, +18, and +9 (these were on Hardy, then Johnson, then Keiser, playing LDE)
only 1 rush went to their RE, gaining +6, when Hardy was at LDE.
(The others were QB scrambles.)
Random Notes on the Houston game:
7 Runs to the Tackle and End, with Hardy on that side, gained 33 yds, averaging 4.7.
4 Runs to the Tackle and End, with Johnson on that side, gained 38 yds, averaging 8.2 yds.
Johnson and Hardy switched assignments within 7 of the 10 series, and on 2 others, Hardy only played at Tackle, when Keiser and CJ went outside. I didn't specify it, but on many series, the 2 DTs would also switch up.
Despite a rookie QB, Yates, we didn't blitz until the 8th series, halfway through the 3rd quarter, comfortably ahead, 21-3. There were only 3 blitzes in this game, by Senn, Anderson, and Connor.
Hardy was doubled-teamed 3 times, Johnson not at all.
Hardy recorded 1 Sack, 1 QB Hurry and a pass deflection (Q2, 11:40) - these last 2 plays were back to back, leading to 2 incompletions, and a 3-and-out punt by Houston, in their 4th Series.
Game 15, 12/24/11, vs Tampa Bay, won by Carolina, 48-16.
Because we scored so often, and often quickly, and because they turned it over 4 times, (and twice more on downs), they had more series (12) than Houston, and ran 68 plays - only 19 were rushes, gaining only 59 yds.
First, the reps:
Charles Johnson, 21 plays (14 at LDE, 7 at RDE) He was dinged twice in the game, and the game was out of hand, anyway. He only saw 4 plays in the second half.
Greg Hardy, 59 plays (30 at LDE, 21 at RDE, 5 at LDT, 3 at RDT)
Andre Neblett, 35 plays at DT.
Frank Kearse, 35 at DT.
Jason Shirley, 20 at DT.
Ogemdi Nwagbuo, 33 at DT.
Thomas Keiser, 42 plays (13 at LDE, 29 at RDE)
Antwan Applewhite, 26 plays (11 at LDE, 2 at LDT, 4 at RDT, 9 at RDE)
Second, the results:
1 rush around their LE lost 2 yds (TFL by Hardy, when at RDE)
2 off their LT gained +8 and +8, vs Johnson and Hardy
6 off their LG resulted in: a Forced Fumble (1st play), +9, +2, +2, 0, and +1.
5 off their RG went for +4, 0, +3, +3, and +4.
3 off RT gained 0 (CJ), +7 (CJ), and +3 (Keiser)
2 off RDE got -2 (TFL by Anderson) and +4 (Hardy)
Random Notes on the Tampa Bay game:
Our platoon of DTs pretty much stuffed the middle all day, allowing 28 yds on 11 carries, average of 2.5 yds. I think this speaks well of the job Neblett, Kearse, Shirley, and Nwagbuo are starting to do. They were gouged in the last game against N.O., I know, but that's a vastly superior OL.
Neblett was hurt in this game, colliding with CJ in the 3rd quarter, and used sparingly after that, allowing Nwagbuo and Kearse more reps.
The workhorse, on the field for 59 of the 68 plays on defense, Hardy acquitted himself well, with a TFL of 2 yds on a running play, 2 QB hits, 2 other Hurries (one of which came on a nice spin move, seldom used by him, in the 11th series), and a Forced Fumble, denying a 2-point conversion pass play, also in that series. This would have been a Sack, because he tackled Freeman 7 yds in the backfield, but those aren't counted on conversion tries. He was doubled 5 times.
Both Johnson and Hardy were guilty of Offsides Penalties on the 2nd series, but not thereafter, as they adjusted to Josh Freeman's snap count.
3 runs to the End or Tackle , with Hardy on that side, gained 10 yds, a 3.3 average.
3 runs to the End or Tackle, with Johnson on that side, gained 15, a 5 yd average.
So what conclusions can be drawn from all this?
Here's what James had to say in his "What Went Wrong" post:
It will take a few more weeks for the advanced statisticians to get us detailed metrics on each player on the defensive line, but what we know already is where the glaring weakness is in stopping the run. As it stands we have run defense stats based on where our opponents got their gains, courtesy of Football Outsiders.
Left end (ROLB reponsibility): 3.93 YPC, 10th in the NFL
Left tackle (Charles Johnson responsibility): 3.96 YPC, 13th in the NFL
Mid/Guard (NT/DT responsibility): 4.53 YPC, 31st in the NFL
Right tackle (Greg Hardy responsibility): 5.62 YPC, 32nd in the NFL
Right end (James Anderson responsibility): 5.63 YPC, 32nd in the NFL
Am I that advanced statistician? For these 2 games, I think I am.
I also think I've proven that Football Outsiders might have their numbers right, so far as the TEAM goes, but whether it was they, or James, who assigned those "responsibility" labels to our individual players (ESPECIALLY WHEN IT COMES TO GREG HARDY), it was patently wrong. He is as good (better?) than CJ in run defense, IMO.
I've detailed the work of 8 Panther DLmen in 2 of our last 3 games, and it should be apparent that the coaches are shuffling, rearranging, and evaluating which of them will play a part in the team of 2012. Personally, I didn't see a weak link in any of the 8.
Lastly, I wish to take the liberty of repeating a post I made in Revshawn's post (linked above), which, (because of all the Front Page articles coming on recently, only stayed there for 3 days) might have gotten overlooked by some:
There is a general misconception that Hardy is a RDE, and that all rushes to that side are his responsibility, and therefore that all successful rushes to our right side are his fault.
I would remind all that Hardy and Johnson switched sides numerous times last year, often in the same series, and that Hardy was assigned to rush from DT in many sets, too, when Applewhite and/or Keiser would come in on 3rd down passing situations.
He is NOT a static player, with only one responsibility, and even drops in pass coverage from time to time.
I made it a point to check the changing defensive lineups that McDermott employed, and the switches of positions were far more than most teams employ.
Hardy is a versatile defensive lineman, who lines up anywhere, is many times doubled, often held, and in general, under-appreciated. The stats shown minimize his effectiveness, with their stress on Sacks, and don't show the many pressures and hurries he got, as well.

FOX 13 Political Editor Craig Patrick spoke with President Barack Obama Tuesday in a rare, election day interview the president did with only a handful of media outlets.
They talked about the different visions he and Governor Mitt Romney have for America, and why the stakes this election year couldn't be higher.
Pres. Obama: This has been a heated debate because the stakes are high, and the differences are significant. Governor Romney and I have different visions for how to move America forward. Governor Romney has a different vision, of top-down economics that goes back to the kind of policies that we've been cleaning up after for the last four years.
Craig Patrick: Do you consider Mitt Romney to be a man of integrity, and if so, when was the last time you saw him show it?
Pres. Obama: I will say that Governor Romney is a very talented individual. Obviously, he has been very successful in his life, and I think his commitment to his family, his community and his church are powerful.
But what I can say is when you look at my track record for the last four years, I have done what I've said. I have said what I've meant. I said I'd end the war in Iraq, and I did. I said I'd cut taxes for middle class families and I have, by about $3,600. I said I would make sure people in America don't go bankrupt when they get sick. We have passed health care reform. I said I'd reign in Wall Street so we don't have another taxpayer funded bailout -- we did that. I said we'd go after bin Laden, we did. I said we'd make sure we save the American auto industry and get it back on its feet, and that's what we've done.
So, I think the one thing I'll claim is that regardless of whether people agree with every decision I've made, people can have confidence that I tell the American people what I believe, where I stand, and I'm fighting for middle class families and everyone who is trying to get in the middle class every single day, and I hope that earns me a second term.
Craig Patrick: Who would you say was your strongest campaign surrogate in Florida, your most valuable player?
Pres. Obama: The MVPs are a bunch of folks that people don't know. They are volunteers in campaign offices, every single day, unbelievable work they have done, knocking on doors, making phone calls, just doing the day-to-day labor to carry our message forward. I could not be more grateful to them for the great work that they have done.
Obviously, Debbie Wasserman Schultz has been terrific and that's true nationally, not just in Florida. My great friend Bill Nelson, who I served with in the Senate has been wonderful, even though he's got a race of his own. And I'm very grateful to Governor Crist, who has been a wonderful supporter, and shows that the ideas we are talking about -- making sure everyone has opportunity, making sure we have an economy that works for the middle class -- those aren't just partisan ideas, those are American ideas, and Republicans and Democrats can support them.
Craig Patrick: Do you think that Democrats have tilted too far to the left? And if not, how do you explain the Democratic party's slide over the past 20 years here in the South?
Pres. Obama: Democrats haven't gone too far to the left…since Bill Clinton and his presidency, what you've seen is Democrats putting forth common sense ideas. And what Republicans, I think have argued are ideas that are too far to the left, actually just a few years ago would have been considered centrist or even Republican ideas. And that includes my health care bill, which was based on Republican ideas and implemented by Governor Romney in Massachusetts.
I think what the American people are concerned about is not left or right, they are more concerned about, does it work? And what I know is that an economy that is built on a great education system, helping young people go to college, rewarding manufacturers who are investing in America, controlling our own energy, reducing our deficit in a balanced way, protecting Medicare, making sure it doesn't turn into a voucher --that that is the path to growth. And that tax cuts for the wealthy and having folks at the top play by different rules, that hasn't worked, and we've tested both ideas, and so now is an opportunity for Florida voters to weigh in.

Pre-dawn at the second day of the Bassmaster Elite Series event on Toledo Bend was one of rushed apprehension under an intense and ever changing sky. Yet it should be no surprise that three of the pros setting inside the Top 15 of the standings share a relaxed attitude centered on smiles.
Rain fell on those who were first in the launch line like Fred "Boom Boom" Roumbanis. But. . .no matter how unloving the weather may be, Fred is never alone at morning take-off. Wife Julie and young son Jackson are fixtures at every Bassmaster Elite Series launch. Today is no exception. Amid the gloom and rainy outside, is a party on the inside. Jackson sits grinning in a car seat barefooted and eating Apple Jacks – dry – no milk necessary. However, music is a must for Team "Boom Boom."
So between gulps of an energy drink, Freddy, a Californian to the core who now lives in Bixby, Oklahoma, switches from thoughts about catching another monster 21-pound limit to playing the role of club disc-jockey. "It's Tricky by Run-DMC is Jackson's all-time favorite song, so we always play that in the mornings for him," says Freddy, before switching over to Johnny Cash's 1963 gem, you guessed it, Jackson.
Julie describes Freddy as a generous spaz of a dude who thinks of fishing constantly – generous to a fault sometimes. It appears to be a very accurate assessment, and the one thing that sticks out among this family of three, with one on the way, is happiness, the rare kind of happiness that all of us want, and most never totally find.
"In 2006 and 2007, we were pretty much living like homeless vagabonds, and it didn't bother us one bit, we loved it, we were happy, we were just fishin'," says Julie in a cheerful tone. Happiness works. Freddy won upwards of $300,000 that season, and considering his top-of-the standings position in this tournament, indeed among Apple Jacks, energy drinks and great music, it's happiness that's working best even as rain falls outside.
When the rain thankfully ceases a few minutes later, 2004 Toyota Tundra Bassmaster Angler of the Year, Gerald Swindle sits tying a spinnerbait to a Quantum Smoke rod and reel combo, and of course, making all within earshot laugh. "After I saw that forecast for 30 mph winds today, I told my wife 'Lulu' to get the ibuprofen ready cause it's gonna be a little lumpy-bumpy out there today," says Swindle, whose lanky, athletic, 41-year old frame has endured numerous back surgeries.
As the sun finally shines, several pros sit stuck and frustrated in an exceptionally slow-moving launch line as anglers with early take-off positions are all ready running down lake to their fishing holes. Near the back of the line, Casey Ashley is not among the frustrated. Instead, the laid-back South Carolina pro with the million-dollar smile and a voice that Nashville is listening to closely sits grinning through the open window of his Toyota Tundra. He's listening to Kenny Chesney, and the song couldn't be a better match to Ashley's beach friendly demeanor. It's Chesney's Nowhere to Go, Nowhere to Be. "Nah, I ain't in no hurry, I'm just goin' fishin'." – An outlook that lead Ashley to an awesome 18-pound limit yesterday.
It's an attitude that should serve Ashley, Swindle and Roumbanis well today. . .where strong winds might blow away the day for anglers spooled a little too tightly.

Yahoo says that Little is out and Torre is in, bringing Mattingly with him.
That's a little off topic, I suppose, but interesting to say the least. And to connect it up, Yahoo notes that Little has posted an above five hundred record with both Baaaaston and the Dodgers, but lasted only two seasons with each team.
I was quite unmoved by him in the few games I watched.
And now to link this back to the BN. Dodger management has shown the intelligence to do something that has so far eluded our current athletic director. They see a team that is going nowhere, and are changing the manager. The CAD at UCLA looks at a far worse situation, but seems unable to figure out what to do. Read the BN, CAD, and you'll learn what you should do.
I'm a long way from my 200 words, so while I'm off topic, I wonder if the Dodgers will take a flyer on Alex Rodriguez. I don't know if you remember that years ago, the Dodgers took Darren Dreifort instead of Rodriguez. That sort of baseball acumen explains why the last Dodger World Series was so long in the past.
Probably still not as 200 words, so one last Dodger thought. The Tampa paper says the Dodgers are thinking about playing a game at the Crapaseum next year. Who exactly is the genius that comes up with these great ideas. Let's see. We could either watch a game in a real ball park or in an atrocity. We could either have a relatively nice location with lots of parking that is not in a war zone or we could hire armed guards to get us to our cars. I think the same guy who decided on Dreifort instead of A-Rod came up with this great Crapaseum idea.
OK, that's it.

Anyone who draws the short straw and spends a stormy night standing anchor watch wishes there was a better way to keep track of anchor drag. Up until just a few years ago there weren't many options, but improved GPS accuracy allowed anchor monitoring features to be added to many GPS units. A miracle of science, the GPS and Wide Area Augmentation Systems (WAAS) mostly provide accurate positioning, but operational errors are common and can be a source of problems.

METAIRIE, La. — Joe Vitt promised on Tuesday that he wasn't the Saints interim coach, referring to himself as a substitute teacher at one point.
But that didn't keep him from spending nearly 25 minutes answering questions that rarely had anything to do with football on the field and the Saints' upcoming draft.
What he tried to make clear, however, is that the Saints are moving on from the NFL's investigation, caring little about what those outside of the team's Metairie facility thinks of them.
"There's nothing that anybody can say or anybody can accuse us of that I know deep in my heart that it's not the truth," Vitt said. "I know how we coach, I know how our players play, I know the togetherness of the organization, the togetherness of our team, how hard we work."
Bounty talk
Vitt began with a three-and-a-half minute monologue, hitting on the bounty scandal and coach Sean Payton's one-year absence.
But he tried to get across one point in particular, that the Saints may have talked a tough game, but they never crossed the line once the ball was in play.
"No. 1, at no time did any of our players ever cross the white line with the intention of hurting another player," Vitt said. "Now, that being said, I'm serving a six-game suspension for the spoken word, not the clenched fist."
When asked to elaborate, Vitt added, "We never taught any of our players, when they crossed the white line, to injure another player."
Beyond that, Vitt assured those following the team and NFL that he agrees with NFL commissioner Roger Goodell in that player safety is of the utmost importance.
Vitt mentioned former Saints player Steve Gleason, who is battling ALS, or amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, saying that he's part of the "family," as well as former Eagles player Kevin Turner, who also has ALS.
""I share passionately player safety and making this a better league with player safety," Vitt said. "I want you to know that, so I share the commissioner's passion for that and I'm on board 100 percent."
However, Vitt isn't concerned that the first time one of the Saints' defensive players lays a vicious hit, they'll lose the benefit of the doubt from officials, fans and league officers.
"It's still going to be our responsibility as a football team to physically reduce our opponents' will to compete," he said. "Now, we have to understand head-to-head contact, and I understand all of that. But we're got to play the game at one speed, and we're going to play to the echo of the whistle and none of that is going to change. It's not going to change."
Wiretapping probe
Vitt wasn't with the Saints from 2002-04 when Saints general manager Mickey Loomis allegedly had an electronic device set up to listen in on opponent's headsets.
But he said he doesn't believe the ESPN report, declaring that Loomis has helped many people around the NFL and that no one can question his integrity.
"Anybody that ever wants to question Mickey's integrity on something like this…," Vitt said, pausing while gathering his thoughts. "I mean this is juvenile. This is so bad what has been reported. It really is. It's irresponsible."
Loomis already is suspended for the first eight games for his involvement in the bounty scandal.
Vitt said his relationship with Loomis goes back to Seattle, when both were with the Seahawks.
Besides, Vitt said to get any competitive advantage from eavesdropping would be virtually impossible.
"It's ludicrous," Vitt said. "It's absolutely ludicrous. It's impossible. It's impossible. I've never heard of it before. That's something from Star Wars. When I first heard something about a wire-tap, I thought they were talking about Sammy the Bull Gravano or something.
"I didn't even know what they were talking about. What are you talking about? This is ludicrous. And then to associate Mickey with that? That's irresponsible. It's a shame."
In Payton's place
Vitt, in his 34th year as n NFL coach, has spent time as interim once before, guiding St. Louis in that position in 2005.
But he promises that he's not an interim coach this time, instead, keeping the seat warm for Payton while he sits out a year for his suspension.
"Understand this – I'm not taking Sean Payton's place," Vitt said. "I'm like a substitute teacher here. I'm not going to try to take his place. Our program, our beliefs will stay in place."
When asked if he was surprised the Saints came to him to be the interim coach, he said the organization has never formally called him that.
"I'm the assistant head coach," Vitt said. "Sean's not here right now. So I'm taking Sean's place while he's not here."
As for who takes over when Vitt is out serving his six-game suspension, he said that decision will come down the line later. Vitt said the coach who can carry on the team's personality best in the fall is the one who will get the job.
"This football team that we have now is going to have a new personality, keeping our core beliefs intact, and whoever can best serve those needs will be the guy that gets the job," Vitt said. "But Mickey and (owner) Mr. (Tom) Benson will make that decision."
Brees' contract
One player missing during the first week-plus of offseason conditioning is quarterback Drew Brees, who hasn't signed his franchise tag and has hinted that he won't play unless he has a long-term contract.
To that end, Vitt said he thinks that will come in due time.
"Drew has earned the right to negotiate this contract," Vitt said. "And he's negotiating this contract with one of the best guys in the National Football League in Mickey Loomis. Mickey has got to have vision and try to protect our football (team) down the road money-wise."
He added, "There's two highly competent people that have great respect for one another that have a common goal. This will get worked out."
Team isn't down
One school of thought percolating locally is that the Saints are being "kicked while they're down."
Vitt, though, said nothing could be further from the truth.
"Understand one thing: We ain't down," Vitt said. "We are not down. We've got 41 wins over the last three years and we've got a great building full of players. We've got a great scouting staff. We've got a great administration. We've got a great owner. And we are looking forward to starting the season."
With the exception of receiver Marques Colston, 100 percent of those under contract are attending offseason conditioning, said Vitt, who mentioned that Colston was busy getting his degree.
"Our players are focused, our coaches are focused, our owner is focused, our building is focused," Vitt said. "We owe it to our fans. Our fans have always been there for us. Now we want the people of New Orleans, Louisiana and the Gulf Coast region to be proud of us. We're gonna give them our best."
Defensive newbies
In spite of the constant allegations weighing on the Saints, the franchise has been able to sign several new players, including three linebackers who could play a large role in reinvigorating the defense.
Vitt said Curtis Lofton will work at middle linebacker, David Hawthorne at weakside and Scott Shanle at strongside. Meanwhile, linebacker Jonathan Casillas re-signed on Tuesday.
"I think these players clearly knew what kind of program they were coming to, that we teach, motivate and inspire," Vitt said. "And we have strong core beliefs."

How can the VivaBella Green Beauty Box Giveaway be complete without products to beautify your nails? So thanks to Simple Living, here are some lovely water-based nail polish from Scotch Naturals Watercolor. I've reviewed this range in September and mentioned how impressed I was with the quality of this non-toxic nail polish that is not only "3 Free", but also free of ethyl acetate, butyl acetate, nitrocellulose, acetone, and heavy metals.
Green Beauty: Sweetsation for mommies & babies
Here's another addition to the VivaBella Green Beauty Box Giveaway, and this time from Sweetsation Therapy. The USA based company has sponsored S$400 worth of skin care products – five sets of their Lumi*Essence Brightening treatment & I*Light eye cream – that are made with natural and organic ingredients free of artificial additives. Some of you may also recall my review of their Sun*Si'Belle Organic Triple Action Moisturizing Sunscreen SPF 30+ that is highly rated by EWG as amongst the best sunscreens for the past three years.
Green Beauty: botanical products from Botáni
Botáni, a brand of botanical skin care from Australia, has contributed five sets of their Olive Skin Serum and Soothing Facial Mist worth S$330 to the VivaBella Green Beauty Box Giveaway. I wrote about this range recently and mentioned that their products looks rather promising, especially for those with particularly sensitive or problematic skin as Botáni range of products are toxic-free, formulated with skin friendly and organic active ingredients to address skin issues and imbalances.
Green Beauty: natural goodness from Living Nature
Okay, we're going full speed on the VivaBella Green Beauty Box Giveaway now. In another week, I'll be announcing all the products to be given and then we'll have a week to call the finale before we close and then announce the 5 winners! If you haven't been participating, let me just say you're missing on over $2500 worth of green goodies from 12 generous sponsors. Today's entry is on Living Nature, a range of 100% natural skin care range using New Zealand's unique native botanicals such as Harakeke Flax Gel, Active Manuka Honey, and Kumerahou.

Johnson & Johnson to Share Drug Data for Further Research
In collaboration with Yale University's Open Data Access Project, also known as the YODA project, Johnson & Johnson (NYSE:JNJ) will begin sharing data from its clinical trials with academics in a move that researchers at YODA hope will encourage other companies to embrace transparency, Bloomberg reports.
Johnson & Johnson's collaboration with the university's project means that YODA can release years of data from J&J's drug findings to outside researchers. The YODA project will serve as an independent third party "to review requests from investigators and physicians seeking access to clinical trials data," according to Forbes.
Harlan Krumholz, the researcher behind the YODA project, says that the program could be "game-changing." "There are great insights that are residing within these data," he said in a telephone interview with Bloomberg. Krumholz believes analyzing the data behind a drug's clinical trials can help researchers better understand how drugs work, as well as what their risks and benefits are.
The YODA project is part of an "open science" or "open access" movement in the industry. Since 1997, all U.S. clinical trials have to be registered, but that hasn't stopped companies from covering up and masking embarrassing failures, and drug makers still have a lot of control over which tests they decide to disclose to the public. Hiding failures or disappointments, advocacy groups argue, makes it more difficult to ensure patient safety.
