For now, FDA rejects counter sales for morning-after pill

WASHINGTON (BP)--A federal government agency has refused to approve over-the-counter sale of a morning-after pill but has left open the possibility it might do so in the future.
The Food and Drug Administration confirmed May 7 it had sent a not approvable letter to Barr Pharmaceuticals, which had sought permission to sell the Plan B emergency contraceptive without a prescription. The FDA cited the lack of information on the pills effect on girls 16 years of age and younger in rejecting the application.
Pro-life and pro-family advocates, who contend emergency contraceptives can cause abortions and increase sexually transmitted diseases among young people, applauded the decision.
This is a tremendous victory for women, said Richard Land, president of the Southern Baptist Ethics & Religious Liberty Commission. The dispensing of such a serious prescription drug over the counter would have caused significant health crises in the lives of thousands of women. All Americans should rejoice that their government has decided to do what government should always do - put the best interests of its citizens first.
Sen. Sam Brownback, R.-Kan., called the FDAs action common sense.
The morning-after pill is an overdose of birth control, Brownback said in a written statement. It makes no sense to offer a drug over the counter that is 50 times stronger than a drug that currently requires annual consults with doctors.
Wendy Wright, senior policy director of Concerned Women for America, praised the FDAs caution about making a potent drug that can harm women available next to candy bars and toothpaste.
The morning-after pill is a pedophiles best friend, Wright said in a written release. Morning-after pill proponents treat women like sex machines. Risking her health or life is a price theyre willing to pay to make sure she doesnt breed.
Abortion-rights advocates condemned the action. A spokeswoman for the Planned Parenthood Federation of America called it anti-choice politics at its worst.
The FDAs decision proves only one thing: Dangerous anti-choice ideology is trumping scientific fact at the expense of womens health and well-being, said Vanessa Cullins, PPFAs vice president for medical affairs, in a written statement. This is the latest assault in this administrations war on choice.
Plan B now can be purchased with a prescription, but supporters of over-the-counter sales argue the methods value is limited by the need to obtain it quickly when sexual intercourse has occurred without the use of another form of contraception. Plan B is recommended for use in the first 72 hours after sex, but it is even more effective in the first 24 hours.
The pill works by restricting ovulation in a woman, and supporters argue it will prevent unplanned pregnancies and abortions. Opponents, however, say the method also can work after conception, blocking implantation of a tiny embryo in the uterine wall. In such a case, an abortion occurs, pro-lifers point out. The medical establishment largely disagrees that blocking implantation constitutes an abortion.
The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, which supports over-the-counter sale of Plan B, says pregnancy does not begin until the fertilized ovum is implanted in the uterine wall. To pro-lifers, and those who abide by the traditional understanding, pregnancy begins with the union of a sperm and an egg - known as fertilization or conception.
Emergency contraception is basically a heavier dose of birth control pills. In the morning-after regimen, a woman takes two pills within 72 hours and another dose 12 hours later. In addition to Plan B, the FDA also has approved prescription use of another emergency contraceptive, Preven. The FDA approved Preven before Plan B in 1998.
It appears opponents of emergency contraceptives will face a challenge in convincing the FDA to continue rejection of Barrs request for over-the-counter status for Plan B.
In its letter to Barr, the FDA said the application for over-the-counter use contained no data on Plan Bs impact on girls under 14. Of the 585 subjects in a study of Plan B, only 29 were 14 to 16 years old, the FDA pointed out.
The FDA told Barr it could seek approval by providing evidence the pill is safe for girls under 16. It also could provide data for alternative use of Plan B as a prescription drug for girls under 16 and as a nonprescription drug for women 16 and older, the FDA said.
Steven Galson, acting director of the FDAs Center for Drug Evaluation and Research, said in a written release he would be working toward the expeditious evaluation of Barrs response to the not approvable letter. If Plan B is approved for nonprescription use, it would dramatically increase access to this product and will represent an important incremental step forward in contraceptive availability in the United States.
Barr Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Bruce Downey said May 6 in a written statement we are encouraged by FDAs suggestions, and look forward to working with the agency toward approval of Plan B for over-the-counter use. He expects a new presentation to the FDA will take months rather than years, Downey told The Washington Post.
In rejecting Barrs application, the FDA differed with its Nonprescription Drugs and Reproductive Health Drugs advisory committees, which voted 23-4 Dec. 16 for approval of Plan Bs over-the-counter sale.
In January, 49 members of Congress called on President Bush and then-FDA Commissioner Mark McClellan to deny the committees recommendation.
In February, the FDA delayed a decision on the Plan B application.
Barr Pharmaceuticals is based in New Jersey.

The Truth: Nintendo Needs It's Core, The Casual
Will the core help turn Nintendo's next console into a powerhouse?
With all the talk of what the Wii U will do for Mario and Link and Samus, the real question is what will the Wii U do for your Mom and Dad's Mii. The fact is that Nintendo needs to address it's core if it wants to do well next generation and that means embracing the casual once again.
They did it perfectly on the Wii. Bundling Wii Sports with the Wii was brilliant. They followed that up with Wii Play and Wii Fit, two games that fit the casual perfectly by offering a game with legs plus hardware.
From the get go the Wii was a casual console and it thrived.Companies like Ubisoft and EA took notice and created an entire line of games aimed at the core Nintendo user; casual games that looked like a good value.
Following up on that, Nintendo worked the retail channels and had the global shopping channel QVC dishing out their console day and night. Even nationwide sports and apparel company, The Sports Authority, had demos of Wii Fit in every store.
From top to bottom it was a campaign that took a direct path straight to the core and casual players responded adamantly. The Just Dance franchise sold close to 30 million copies, Wii Play sold close to 30 million, and the powerhouse Wii Fit franchise sold over a whopping 45 million copies. It's clear that the Wii resonated with the casual, but that doesn't mean it is a guarantee that the Wii U will as well. There is a few deciding factors.
Will Nintendo's core be ready for new hardware?
I think that they're ready. The average casual user wants to get the most out of their purchase and the Wii's starting price of $249.99 lasting over a 4-6 year span would be considered a sound investment.
Will Nintendo's core be swayed by other hardware?
This one is harder to determine. I think that it's going to be a very hard sell for Nintendo when the other two consoles on the market offer so much more then just games. Nintendo's failure to adapt has them quite a few steps behind their contemporaries and this will be at the forefront at the Wii U's launch. Not only will the other consoles offer more entertainment content but they will predictably be significantly less expensive.
Will Nintendo's core be enticed by third party software?
It's a good sign that companies like Ubisoft are supporting the Wii U with games like Dance Central, but as I said above, the content exists elsewhere right now. It is going to take a solid effort from third party companies dishing out dance, party, and exercise games to show Nintendo's core that it has the same style of long lasting software it saw with the Wii.
Now what happens if the core doesn't gravitate to the Wii U?
I don't have much hope if the core doesn't want to leave the Wii, or worse yet, chooses an alternative console brand after their run on the Wii is over. Nintendo's smaller niche markets, which are big supporters of the Mario and Zelda type games just don't have the manpower or the buying power to support a console, let alone make it rise above the rest.
Wii Fit sold 45 million.
Nintendo's premiere Mario franchise on the Wii, Mario Galaxy, sold 18 million. Now don't get me wrong, 18 million for a franchise is wonderful, but compared to 45 million it's not even in the same league. Heck, Wii Fit is in the majors and Mario Galaxy is playing AA ball. Sure, you get to say you're a part of the team and you might even get called up in the worst of times but no one is waiting for you to enter Cooperstown.
Now Nintendo did have some success with New Super Bros Wii and it did draw in the casual very well but then they tried to follow it up with Donkey Kong Country Returns and that only sold around 6 million.
Everyone in recent memory also remembers the Gamecube. That was Nintendo's experiment to aim towards the Mario and Zelda part of their audience and it almost crippled the company.It took the combined success of the DS and the Wii to get them back on track.
For anyone doubting what I'm saying I want you to do this…. Take the number of Wii Fit copies sold (45 million) and subtract it from the overall number of Wii's sold worldwide. That equals out to about 50 million Wii's sold, close to one half of it's total sales and a good 15 million less then it's competition.
I selected Wii Fit because it was the title designed to be most core friendly. The design paid off, with the title selling to half of all owners.
Like I said, Nintendo needs it's core, the casuals, for it to be a force next generation.

Top of the Mark Restaurant Review: A must-see meeting place since its launch in the late 1930s as a rooftop bar at the historic Mark Hopkins hotel, this lofty landmark offers 360-degree panoramas through the towering windows comprising all of its walls. Amidst such visuals --- the bay-facing eastern windows are best by day, the western windows framing a city-lights jewel box by night --- dining and drinking could be almost an afterthought. Thus the TOTM's carefully crafted, understatedly elegant fare is a surprise --- from dinnertime caviar and saffron paneer (sometimes accompanied by live music and, in summer, movie screenings) to lunchtime steak tartare and octopus Niçoise. Consider as well the bar's famous 100-Martini menu and day-brightening breakfast buffets featuring hot entrées, fresh fruit, cheese, smoothies, house-baked pastries and even dim sum. Sunday brunch --- add a pianist, carving stations and free-flowing Champagne --- is a special-occasion sine qua non.

Crowdsourcing Video - 5 Tips for Small Business Crowdsourcing
Created by
Tuesday, June 29, 2010
Alec Lynch
Crowdsourcing can take many forms - for example, you can
crowdsource feedback
, you can
crowdsource t-shirts
, you can
crowdsource funding
and (of course) you can
crowdsource design
(DesignCrowd is a crowdsourcing design website). Each crowdsourcing application uses a different process some use voting, some use collaboration and some use competition (DesignCrowd uses the competition model via
design contest
logo contest
Focusing on the contest approach to crowdsourcing (perhaps the most common and purest form of crowdsourcing), Alec Lynch (founder of DesignCrowd and King of Letting His Shirt Collar Pop-out) gives 5 tips at The Insight Exchange in Sydney. Please note these tips are for small business (not big brands)!
(If you don't want to watch the video, here are Alec's crowdsourcing tips in text / boring / traditional / ASCII code form...)
5 Crowdsourcing Tips (for small business)
1. Choose the right task
Contest crowdsourcing suits discrete, creative projects of medium complexity. Graphic design, photography, copywriting, programming scripts, idea generation.
2. Use an established platform
The CEO of Innocentive has suggested 5,000 people is the ideal 'size of crowd'. If you try and build your own 'crowd' or run a contest through your own website it will be expensive. This is okay for big brands trying to get publicity but for start-ups and small businesses crowdsourcing platforms have done the hard work for you!
3. Do not scrimp and scrape
Crowdsourcing involves harnessing multiple suppliers. If you don't offer an attractive prize you won't attract talent.
4. Give feedback
Crowdsourcing online, as with outsourcing in the real world, requires you to interact with your suppliers and provide feedback! This is a critical part of most design, copywriting and programming projects in the real world - similarly, it is an important part of the crowdsourcing process.
5. Get help with decision
Just because you got 100+ bids on your logo does not mean you don't. Don't make the
same mistake as Kraft Foods
who received 48,000 entries to their name the new Vegemite contest and then chose 'iSnack2.0'. Get help with the decision / do some market research / ask the crowd for their opinion.

Why You'll Like Him
One of the smarter and smoother defenders in the tournament, Gallas gallops around the field with ease Derided for his clumsy tackles and harsh play, often overlooked is the ease with which William Gallas moves around the field. Seemingly a thoroughbred, Gallas reads plays well and is quick to the spot for a tackle. He intervenes well and helps to put the plug in the opposing teams' attack. He plays the ball out of the back competently and shows no rush to get the ball off of his feet. Gallas can rise to meet the ball or play with the ball with his feet. He can go up and back as well as side-to-side. He's played at the highest levels of the game and never looked out of place. His temper may indicate otherwise, but from a pure movement perspective, Gallas is as smooth as they come.
Why You'll Hate Him
France is in the World Cup because of his controversial goal. In a World Cup playoff versus Ireland with a spot in this summer's tournament on the line, Thierry Henry got away with a handball that led to the winning goal. The replay of Henry's handball has been replayed time and time again across the globe, but many forget that it was Gallas who got on the end of the Henry pass, following the handball. Without Gallas to get his head on the cross that followed the handball, France may not have gotten the win and be playing this summer.
Fact Sheet
Age: 32 (8/17/1977)
Position: Center back
Club Teams: Arsenal (2006-present), Chelsea (2001-2006), Marseille (1997-2001), Caen (1995-1997)
National Team Debut: October 12, 2002 vs. Slovenia Caps: 81
World Cups: 2006
Club World
After developing at the French Football Academy, Gallas went to Caen to begin his professional career. There, Gallas led Caen to promotion as second division champions and as the club was moving up, so was Gallas, who went to Olympique Marseille. With Marseille, Gallas played in the central defense not just in Ligue 1, but also in the club's Champions League matches. His reputation grew and after four years with Marseille, Gallas caught the eye on English Premier League side, Chelsea. Across the Channel, Gallas thrived. Quickly earning a starting spot, Gallas spent five years with the London club. He won consecutive Premier League titles with the club and a League Cup. Gallas also played a key role in Chelsea's run to the Champions League semifinals, where the Blues were eliminated when a Liverpool goal was deemed good despite replays showing that Gallas had cleared the ball off the line. Following the 2006 World Cup, Gallas expressed a desire to move from Chelsea and their overcrowded backline. The Blues agreed to his request and the center back found a new London address with Arsenal. After a season with the club, Gallas was handed the captain's armband and while he never won a trophy with the club, he was a regular Champions League participants and played in over 100 matches for Arsenal.
National Team
Gallas' career in the French shirt began as a youth player and he had immediate success. Debuting with the U-18 side, Gallas was a part of the team that won the U-18 European Championship. He also took part in the 1997 FIFA World Youth Championship (now U-20 World Cup) and was a member of the France team that went to the Quarterfinals. Following his success with the youth teams, Gallas struggled to find a spot in the senior team because of the veteran presence that helped lead the team to a 1998 World Cup title. When the core of the 1998 team failed to make it out of the group stage in 2002, it was clear that France needed to move forward with young blood and that included Gallas. Months after the 2002 World Cup ended, Gallas was featured in the qualifying for Euro 2004. From that point on, Gallas has been a centerpiece in the France team. He was a member of the 2003 Confederations Cup winning side and then played in the 2006 World Cup Final. With 81 caps, Gallas has made himself comfortable in a French shirt and at the center of the defense is looked upon to lead the team to the success it experienced in 1998 and 2006.
What to Look For
Having qualified under controversy and recently suffered a loss to lowly China, France is one of the more criticized teams in the tournament. There are rumors of unrest in the France team and whether the team can play together is unknown. If the team is to find the success that their talent indicates is possible, it will be up to the experienced players on the team to keep everyone together. At 32 and as a veteran of a World Cup, Gallas will be looked upon to do that. In addition to what he must do to keep the team together, Gallas must also organize the back line. Sometimes slow and without cohesion, the French defense is never a sure thing. With some uncertainty up top and in the midfield, France will need Gallas to hold the back line together so they have one unit to lean upon. For all his positive attributes, Gallas has been known to make rash challenges and lose his temper. While talented, this France team is not good enough to withstand playing a man down. Gallas will need to keep a calm head on his shoulders and keep himself out of bad situations if they are to advance from Group A and beyond.

Justice John Paul Stevens decided to retire on Jan. 21, 2010, the day he read aloud his dissent in the Citizens United case and stumbled in his delivery.
In an interview with the Atlantic, Stevens, now 91, said doctors found no problem, despite a faltering presentation. Nonetheless, "that was the day I decided to resign," he told the publication. "I learned giving that talk that I had a speech problem."
Stevens revealed he is writing a book about the five chief justices he has worked with over the years, as a law clerk, a lawyer, a federal appeals judge and a justice. The possible title is The Five Chiefs.
Stevens also commented on oral arguments. "I do think that an unfair amount of time is devoted to questioning that is not seeking answers but is trying to make arguments to influence one's colleagues," he said. "And I think the arguments have moved in a direction of the justices playing the role of advocate more than they should."

Photographers i
I always have my eyes open for interesting and high quality photography magazines. They are hard to come by. However, a few months back I got an iPad and ran across a magazine edited by Michael Freeman that is formatted specifically for the iPad. Actually, perhaps I should say for tablets, because I really am not sure if it is available for Android based tablets or not.
At any rate, what makes it very interesting is that it is one of the new breed of multimedia publications made specifically for electronic devices. The magazine has interviews, portfolios, informational articles etc. But each article typically has some type of multimedia component, be it an interview, teaching points, audio etc. That itself would not merit mention as it needs to be quality, not just fluff. This one is definitely quality. I am not sure that the multimedia options in the 'magazine' are being utilized to their full potential and it will be very interesting to see how this whole genre of multimedia publications evolves over time. And I am sure they will evolve.
This one is definitely worth checking out. It can be purchased via subscription or single issue. After reading the first one I went ahead and subscribed. Check it out in the Apple App store and Newsstand.Tags: magazines

This is the most beautiful song I have ever heard. We don't think of what Mary went through and this brings it to life. Any mother can relate to her pain.
God Bless you and Merry Christmas

The sad thing is teachers can lose their jobs when they encourage their students to look at current science and discard scientific claims that are invalid. Also, encouraging kids to consider whether design requires a designer can get you into hot water. At George Mason University, Caroline Crocker was not allowed to teach any longer at that institution after introducing the concept of Intelligent Design.

My trade,
to Boston: Kyrie Irving, Dion Waiters, Villanueva, Stuckey and Okafor
to Detroit: Rondo, Wallace, Verajao, and Jarret Jack
to Cleveland: Brandon Jennings, Greg Monroe, Caldwell-Pope, A. Bradley and a 2014 1rst Round pick from Phoenix
to Phoenix: Green and Bass
As far As I can tell everyone wins, yes Cleveland may not give up on Irving but that team is a mess, so starting over with a young pont guard, starting center and 2 young shooting guards would be a good start.
Celts get a young and talented point, a young shooting guard to pair up with Sullinger plus dump a lot of salery
Detroit gets the Point guard they covet, a power forward in Varajao and two good backups.
Phoenix gets the starting SF thry need and a good backup.

246I'd Be Unhappy if Denise Richards Was My Mom, Too
Denise Richards puts on a brave face with her grumpy Sheen-spawn, Sam and Lola, at a Disney-sponsored party in Bel Air on Thursday.
There are seriously nearly 40 pictures of Denise and these children on WireImage right now. There is not a single picture in which these kids look anything short of miserable. I checked them all. Look at their eyes! They're like, "Save me from this childhood!" I just find this incredibly funny and I needed to share it with you all.

To be truthful, I do not know much about you except to see you on t.v. now and then, but my prayers are for you and your children-do not get too down on Charlie -eventually he will leave you alone… You seem to be a wonderful person andI tust Godwill Blessyou and your daughter richly!

Jenni, do you have any proof to back up your claims that Heather has an her alcohol problem and Heather was already out gallivanting and shagging any man who would look sideways at her.
Unless you are an insider or are pyschic, that only happened in your fantasy world.
Beautiful Lady, love her pretty blue eyes & blonde hair.
Yeah she's pretty, but she obviously uses her children for attention and she must not have noticed her kids are unhappy and never smile in any pictures she has had taken with them. I wouldn't put my kids through mediafests for all the money in the world (I'd be off living where Johnny Depp is). Was she even looking at her children in any of those pictures?
Yeah she's pretty, but she's obviously using her children for attention which is very ugly IMO. She is the only person smiling in every picture, I don't think she noticed anyone else in any of the pictures but herself when she was choosing which ones the media could use.
There's no way I'd put my kids through the mediafest, I'd be off living wherever Johnny Depp is not using my kids to further myself. People who use their kids like Denise, Charlie and TomKat are scum.

Day 16: Beginner
Backbends with Elise Lorimer
The last of the 21-Day Yoga Challenge's aligning and refining practices focuses on backbends, which stretch the front body and strengthen the back muscles. Because we spend so much of the day reaching or moving forward, backbends are essentially counterposes to life. They're the antidote to hours behind a desk or steering wheel, an answer to bad posture, and an embodiment of openness and receptivity.
And yet, for many people, they're an absolute nightmare.
Fear and loathing of backbends is understandable. In addition to being a departure from our status quo, they're quick to reveal our limitations and test our patience. Anyone who has experienced back pain has even more reason to resist them. If you fall in the hate-'em camp, you might be tempted to skip today's sequence. Give it a chance. Warming up the body is essential to safe and pleasurable backbends, and Elise Lorimer sees to that. By the time you're hovering in your third Salabhasana (Locust Pose), you just might be a fan.
You'll need a strap for this practice.
Watch Today's Video »
Challenge Tip
Backbends like Bhujangasana (Cobra Pose) and Salambhasana (Locust Pose) are wonderful for strengthening the muscles of the back. But you can strain your lower back or neck if you're not careful. To avoid compressing the lower back, maintain a slight abdominal contraction while in the pose, and focus on arching the upper back. To avoid neck strain, don't throw your head back. Instead, move the head away from the shoulders to create more space between the cervical vertebrae.

It all started so promisingly for the Portland Timbers Sunday night at Jeld-Wen Field, and then, like the Timbers' central midfield, they just slowly faded away. Instead of crashing the party up north, Portland was part of the show. And really, what else could you expect?
This MLS showpiece was always going to be a tough ask for Caleb Porters' side. After all, the Timbers had enough players sidelined through injury or suspension to make up a very respectable team, and it seemed that most of those players were central midfielders. It was impossible to predict what lineup and formation Porter was going to use, such was the uncertainty surrounding who was going to play.
In the end, Jack Jewsbury made it, while Ben Zemanski made the bench, and Will Johnson missed out completely, along with the crucially suspended Diego Chara. Porter decided to gamble and play for goals - Kalif Alhassan started in a 4-1-4-1 formation, with only Jewsbury, a man who hadn't played a full 90 minutes in almost a month, as the only central midfield player. It was a calculated risk, but one that almost guaranteed goals.
Goals would have been good in this game, because people took notice, as you have to when there is an attendance just short of 70,000 at a sporting event. It was the home debut of Clint Dempsey, arguably the most meaningful and significant signing in MLS history, with a spit-fire rivalry and other-worldly support making this Cascadia clash a banner moment for American soccer. At least in some places and in some moments, we've made it as a soccer country.
It's fair to say the that the Timbers weren't exactly fancied to skip down I-5 with three points, but Portland was going to give it a go, and in the first half, things went surprisingly well.
Diego Valeri pulled the strings, oozing class and confidence on the ball. Early on, he slid through Ryan Johnson free on goal, but the big Jamaican forward was a bundle of nerves and he never really got his feet under him in the game, or on the huge chance, which Johnson ended up dribbling into the arms of the on-rushing Michael Gspurning.
With Valeri playing puppet-master and the Timbers looking adept all over the field, it seemed as if Porter got his selection right, but you always felt that if Portland could pry a goal out of their early dominance, there was going to be trouble. Late on in the half, Valeri hit the post.
For all the hype and chatter, Seattle were insipid in the first half, unable to possess the ball or make any type of incision into the Portland defense. Unfortunately for the Timbers, Sigi Schimd had an all-too-obvious trump card on the bench.
With Shalrie Joseph languishing, Mauro Rosales entered the game in the 55th minute and turned the contest on its head.
Early on, Rosales was hacked down by the comically over-zealous, out-of-position, fire-breathing Pa Moudu Kah, who was simply begging to be sent off. Besides a string of reckless sliding challenges and a knee to the head of Eddie Johnson, Kah could only have showed he wanted an early dismissal more if he spit in Jair Murrufo's face - although that may not have even convinced Murrufo to reach for his pocket.
I'm not sure if the moment got to the emotional Kah, or if this is just the norm, but someone needs to forcefully tell the Gambian defender that playing like a WWE wrestler isn't an effective method of defending. Kah was constantly out of position, diving in on players and leaving the Timbers defense behind him scrambling. He was a disaster waiting to happen, and in the end, he was culpable for the only goal of the game.
That goal came off the free-kick conceded by Kah, a horrible high challenge that was unsightly enough to get Zen Master referee Murrufo to brandish a yellow card. Rosales swung the free-kick in, and the Timbers achilles heel, set-pieces, reared its ugly head.
Eddie Johnson was free and unmarked in the box as he swept the ball into the back of the net, giving Seattle the lead on 60 minutes. It was all Seattle ended up needing.
As the game went on, it became more stretched. The introduction of Morales ripped apart the Jewsbury-anchored Timbers midfield, and as Jack had to slide back to fill the gaps left by Kah and occasionally Andrew Jean-Baptiste, Seattle had miles of space to run at the Portland defense and counter-attacked.
With Murrufo refereeing the game as a normal person would a checkers match, it was always likely there was going to be misbehavior in the highly-charged derby.
Kah, in a moment of supreme idiocy, kneed a fouled Eddie Johnson in the head while Johnson was on the ground - something Kah certainly would have been sent off for had the referee or one of his assistants seen it. Ozzie Alonso was also taking his role of enforcer very seriously, and although he cynically hauled down a vivacious Darlington Nagbe again and again, he was neither booked for a bad tackle, or persistent infringement. It was poor refereeing.
In the end, it was Jewsbury who felt the brunt force of the game. He had to be stretchered off in the 80th minute, and the Timbers midfield was officially erased. If Jewsbury is out for an extended period, the Timbers are robbed of a versatile squad player as the team's injury crisis deepens.
Both teams had chances - Ricketts made a spectacular save off a Johnson header, who Gspurning, in tip-top form, acrobatically denied a late rocket from Nagbe. Portland's attack was solid, and they took the game to Seattle in the first half. Still, to not get a goal with the team Porter put out is disappointing.
In the end, it was Seattle's not. Portland has now gone three years without a win at CenturyLink Field, and the second-largest standalone crowd in MLS history went home happy.
It was frustrating for the Timbers, but not a terrible performance under the circumstances. Still, looking forward, the Timbers have problems. Kah is suspended for Friday's huge game with Real Salt Lake, which ordinarily wouldn't be a bad thing, but Portland has no cover in the position.
This team desperately misses Mikael Silvestre and Futty Danso, but it doesn't look like either player will be back any time soon. This game also could have used Frederic Piquonne's class, but he's still out as well.
Portland drops to fourth in the West, and with another quick turnaround for the game at red-hot Real Salt Lake Friday, the end of the season could quickly turn into a month-long scoreboard watching nightmare.
The Timbers had a once-in-a-lifetime chance to spoil Seattle's party Sunday night. They came up short. The blame lies more with some than others, but if Portland are a real team, as they preached in the build-up to this game, they will overcome and rebound. They don't have any other choice.

Gas lines were shut off and students were sent to the gym and auditorium while crews worked on the issue.
The smell came from a loose natural gas fixture on a classroom lab table, according to the district. The fixture was fixed and students were sent back to class.

Petersburg Chapter 155
PETERSBURG - Petersburg Chapter 155 of the United Daughters of the Confederacy (UDC) met Saturday, Jan. 19 at 10:30 a.m. at the Masonic Lodge in Petersburg. Following a sumptuous brunch, plans for the next few months' activities were discussed. The chapter will be helping with memorial services and military awards ceremonies too numerous to list here, as well as with events at the UDC National Headquarters which is the Memorial Building on the Boulevard in downtown Richmond, but of special note during this meeting was discussion of the chapter's role in hosting the Executive Committee Meeting to be held March 2 at Ivey Memorial United Methodist Church in Colonial Heights.
The Petersburg chapter spares no attention to detail or hospitality when it comes to welcoming the officers and seeing to it that this important annual meeting goes smoothly and is enjoyable for all. The chapter's meetings include a historical program, and this month's subject was "Reconstruction, 1865-1877," presented by chapter historian Augusta Davis. Her talk described the hardships endured by a defeated people during the post-war period.
At the January meeting, the chapter was pleased to welcome new member Nancy Woolridge, shown in the photo with her membership certificate, which bears the name and a synopsis of the service record of the Confederate ancestor upon whose record she joined the UDC. Nancy is the great-granddaughter of S. Isaiah Mann, Company D, 5th Regiment, Virginia Cavalry. He enlisted at the beginning of the conflict, was wounded three times, captured April 5, 1865 and taken as a prisoner of war at Five Forks, Virginia, transported to Maryland and held there for weeks after General Lee had surrendered to Grant, finally being released June 15, 1865. Coincidentally, Mann was the contractor responsible for the rebuilding of Ivey Memorial church, the afore-mentioned site of the upcoming Executive Committee meeting, the church having been severely damaged by Union fire during the war.
Petersburg chapter 155 concluded the January meeting by discussing plans for their meeting Saturday, February 9th at 9:30 a.m. at historic Fork Inn in Sutherland, Virginia. Ladies interested in more information about the chapter are encouraged to send an e-mail to email@example.com

Even seasoned lawyers admit one thing: "I think lawyers are slow to change," says Cori Ghitters, director of recruitment and professional development for Dentons Canada LLP Calgary office.
It's a common sentiment in the legal industry, known for it's topdown corporate style of progression among many in the business and traditionally known for its slow rate of improvement on diversity and inclusion.
Not so at Dentons, which stands out in the industry as an example of how to approach diversity and inclusion in some unique, engaging ways.
"From a cultural perspective, we've had zero pushback from senior leadership on embracing (diversity and inclusion) programs," says Ghitters. "Diversity isn't a fad. We're in it for the long term."
Having been recognized recently as one of Canada's Best Diversity Employers by Mediacorp Canada Inc., Ghitters said diversity has to be built into the culture of a company with buy-in from the top down.
In the past six to eight months, the company has done everything from host several events supporting the LGBT community, had inspirational speakers, and ongoing support from the firm's regional diversity committees for its array of programs.
It's all part of an effort to instil a sense of support for diversity in every aspect of the company's operations.
It appears to be working. "Any good workplace culture has some fun to it and this is a good way to celebrate diversity," said Jordan Deering, partner and co-lead of the diversity committee in Calgary with Ghitters.
They use the simple method of reflecting the naturally diverse nature of the clients they serve and the cities they operate in across Canada.
"It also assists us in approaching legal issues from different perspectives and ways of thinking," says Deering. "It helps us look at things from all angles."
The statistics, which show gradual improvement, continue to illustrate the challenges corporate Canada faces on making further gains.
More than one-third (36 per cent) of Financial Post 500 companies still have no women on their boards - a statistic that's increased two percentage points in the past two years.
The mining, oil and gas industry has the lowest women's representation at just seven per cent.
"Regardless of industry, corporations should tap into the full talent pool when naming board members as a strategy essential to business success," said Alex Johnston, executive director at Catalyst Canada, which conducted the study.
Taking stock of a firm's corporate culture - from different ethnicities and cultures to religion to age to gender to sexual orientation - is a good starting point.
Aside from just being the right thing to do, companies such as Dentons that have embraced diversity say it pays off both to the bottom line as well as improving morale.
Canada is home to 6.8 million foreign-born residents (20.6 per cent of the population), compared to 19.8 per cent in 2006, according to one national household survey.
Dentons particularly stands out for its efforts to work with other law firms to encourage them to create innovative ways to increase diversity at all levels. It has partnered with 15 law firms across Canada to form the Law Firm Diversity and Inclusion
Network. Ghitters said that even though law school classes typically have about half of students being women, the industry struggles to retain them. Many opt for private practice, perhaps because of perceived barriers in moving up the ladder in larger firms.
"Certainly, we don't see that carrying through all the way to 50 per cent of our partnership or leadership in firms," she said.
Catalyst Canada has challenged companies to increase the overall proportion of FP500 board seats held by women to 25 per cent by 2017, which 22 companies have already signed.
Dentons is making its own efforts by its participation in the Justicia Project through the Law Society of Upper Canada, which began recognizing these numbers needed improvement.

I became interested in this idea when my family's corn did not grow very well in our garden in Colorado almost every year.
The information gained from this experiment can be used to help farmers living in areas of low rainfall, to learn how to keep their plants alive.
I base my hypotheses on information collected from textbooks, the Internet, and some CD-ROM's.
The manipulated variables are the amount of water and whether earthworms were in the soil added to each pot.
The responding variable was the growth of the bean plants.
To measure the responding variable I held the plant outstretched in the pot and measured the plant in centimeters.
2. Label the first three pots as follows: Dry with worms, Wet with worms, and
ì Wettest with worms.
3. Label the others as follows: Dry, Wet, and Wettest.
4. Place four earthworms in the Dry with worms pot, four earthworms in Moist with worms, and four worms in Wet with worms.
5. Then poke three two centimeter, in length, width , and depth, holes in a triangle , in the middle of the container , with either your finger or pencil in all six pots.
6. Drop one lima bean in the holes in the pots.
7. Cover the seeds with the soil dug out from the holes.
8.Pat the soil down with your hand three times.
9.Get a bucket that holds 1,000 mL.( This is what you'll use when watering the plants.)
10. Pour about1,000 mL into the bucket.
11. Add 7 drops of Schlutz Plant Food.
12. Water the Dry pots with 50 mL .
13. Water the Moist pots with 100 mL
14. Water the Very Wet pots with 150 mL.
After seeds are planted:
15. Water the plants the exact same amount of water, you did the first time you watered the plants, every day.
16. Make notes of how much the controlled plants grew, and how much the plants with the earthworms grew, right after you watered the plants.
17. After at least three sprouts are up, start rotating the pots one quarter turn.
The results of the experiment were that the average height of the plants of the "Moist"(100 mL) groups was greater than any of the other groups. The groups with the least amount of growth were the "Very Wet" groups.
According to the data collected from my experiment, the worms must have helped because the plants in "Dry with worms" (50 mL) grew rather high even though it had a lack of water. The other groups with worms also grew higher even if the pots had too much water or just the right amount of water in the pot.
The results indicate that this hypothesis should be accepted, because the plants in the pots with worms seemed to grow stronger and better.
Because of the results of this experiment, I wonder if the season, even if they were inside a house, would affect how the plants grew.
If I were to conduct this project again I would have written more detailed notes to give the reader a better picture in his/her mind. I also would have taken more pictures of the root systems after we took them out of the pot. The last difference I would make would be to make sure that the plants all got the equal amount of light.

Worcester sex pervert - 'worst case of grooming we have ever seen' says Stinson Hunter
Updated 10:42am Wednesday 25th June 2014 in News By James Connell
THE man behind the sting which snared Anthony Milnes described the case as "the worst case of grooming and sexual exploitation we have ever seen".
Stinson Hunter began his work as a 'paedophile hunter' when he decided to create a dating profile of a 15-year-old girl looking for a friend, not knowing what to expect.
Within moments of the new profile being created, he received a variety of diverse messages from men of all ages.
He said: "Even though the young age of '15′ was clearly pronounced, this did not dissuade some from sending posts of a sexually explicit nature, including images."
A team now continues the work, alongside Mr Hunter, setting up online profiles of girls between the ages of 11 and 15 and managed to snare Milnes by posing as a young girl aged 13.
After Milnes' conviction, Mr Hunter said the case ranked among the worst the team had dealt with.
"It was without doubt the worst case of grooming and sexual exploitation we have ever seen in terms of his age and the way he went about it," he said.
During their investigations, they never approach someone first, the profile is set up and they wait for any contact.
Upon receiving the very first message, they repeat that the person is underage.
Information and any video footage is then handed to police.
However, their work has been criticised in the past by the police who have said his actions may be breaking the law by entrapping people.
But Mr Hunter denies he is a 'vigilante', describing himself as a journalist.
Outlining the motives behind the work, Mr Stenson's website says: "We never thought for a moment that the videos we upload would be as popular as they have been, nor did we consider the largely positive response; however, understandably, there are people who are sceptical about the concept and the way we work. But, this aside, we would like to thank you all for your overwhelming support."

The look silly working out with excessively long "yoga pants" with zips at the bottom. I actually thought the zips were on the back of the pants. The picture says nothing about the zips I had to read about it on the description and hope for the best. They are hard to wear. March 5, 2014

A lot of NFL teams were intrigued by BYU defender Ezekiel Ansah at the 2013 NFL Combine. In a passing league, effective pass rushers are all the rage. Their stock is firmly on the rise. And for a raw, talented prospect like Ansah, he could command high first-round status with almost no football experience.
Mike Mayock also had scouts drooling, as he labeled him the "Aldon Smith prototype" at the combine:
Mayock said BYU DE Ziggy Ansah "might have been the best football play in the game (Senior Bowl). . . Can he be Aldon Smith this year?"— D. Orlando Ledbetter (@AJCFalcons) February 18, 2013
Between his on-field presence and limited time playing the sport, scouts are enthralled by how high his ceiling may be. And if folks needed any more reason to buy into the hype, Ansah had another trick left before the draft in April.
According to Dan Pompei of the National Football Post, Ansah did not train for the scouting combine that took place this past month in Indianapolis. Even though it is widely known as one of the most scrutinized job fairs in the U.S., Ansah was not the least bit intimidated.
In fact, he did not change up his routine at all:
Many people were impressed with Ziggy Ansah's 4.56 40 yard dash at 271 pounds, and rightfully so. But they would have been more impressed if they knew Ansah didn't even train for the event. Unlike probably every other player in attendance, Ansah kept going to class and never worked with an outside trainer to prepare for the combine. In fact, the 40 yard dash he ran at the combine was the first of his life, according to his agent Frank Bauer. It should be noted, however, that Ansah did run 100 meter dash and the 200 meters on the Brigham Young track team before he became a football player.
This is exciting news for two reasons: (1) Ansah stayed focused and kept going to class (2) His workout was impressive before learning he had not prepared for it.
All of the prospects train feverishly for the combine, hoping to answer any looming questions with a strong forty or an above-average bench press. Ansah competed with the well-prepared and still managed to outshine the large majority. He has essentially solidified in his place in the first round, and could be a menace in the league as a rookie.
Ziggy Ansah continues to impress, and there is no reason to believe he will stop now.

Khirdana (Muktsar):
40 liberated Ones:
The event is thought by historians to have occurred on December 29, 1705, however, commemoration dates may vary by region and is locally observed April 15th. The 40 repentant warriors, known as the Chali Mukte, are mentioned in the prayer of Ardas during each and every Sikh worship service. This prayer is generally attributed to the Sikhs who fought with Mai Bhago, but may actually include the 40 Sikhs who remained faithful to Guru Gobind Singh and fought with him at the battle of Chamkaur, where the Guru's elder sons, and all but three warriors perished.
Kirdhana reservoir has since become known as Muktsar, after the Chali Mukte, or 40 liberated ones, and is the site of five shrines:
- Gurdwara Tambu Sahib
- Gurdwara Shahidganj Sahib
- Sri Darbar Sahib
- Gurdara Tibbi Sahib
- Gurdwara Rakabsar Sahib
Have you visited any of the historical gurdwaras commemorating the 40 liberated ones battle at Muktsar? We would love to know about your visit. Please tell us about your experience and share any photos you have with our readers, and read what others have to say about Chali Mukte historic shrines.

The number one request we got when we asked you what you'd like us to talk about? Short story writing. Mary is our resident expert, and if she weren't already a member of the cast, she'd our go-to expert for an interview. Convenient!
We begin by addressing the popular notion that writing short stories is a good way to practice for writing novels, and selling short stories is a way to break in and sell novels. We then return to the M.I.C.E. quotient (first addressed by us in 6.10) and discuss how the quotient (or model, or formula) helps you understand what to cut from the telling of a story to make it a short story.
Mary then walks us through her process for turning an idea into a story concept, and then distilling that concept into a short story. She also invites us to explore her 950-word short, "Evil Robot Monkey," free of charge!
