As with the last couple of years, my end of year post isn't gonna go down the big lists route, just gonna dip in and out of my year in music. You will see some similarities between myself and Tom's selections, hardly surprising really. There's no doubt a few things on his that I haven't bothered to repeat here, though one of them sure ain't that KDJ edit of Alexander Robotnick
Home Soil
First off I gotta talk about what's been going on in Ireland as it's been a pretty healthy year. A bunch of new labels have sprung up over the last 12 months or so, covering everything from disco to house and techno and bass. I'm pretty proud to be able to include myself on this list, finally getting my Apartment Imprint up and going – the 2nd release will be coming in January featuring Tr One with Juju & Jordash and John Heckle on remix duties (more of that in the new year) – alongside other new labels; Earwiggle, Signal Code, Fatty Fatty and Maigret Recordings. Most notable is that Earwiggle have brought about the return of Steve Stoll, one of my favourite techno producers from the 90s with his latest ep.
2 of the more established labels, All City and Lunar Disko, have continued to go from strength to strength over the last 12 months. My picks from those guys have been the sublime Falty DL – Make It Difficult and the spinetingling cosmic disco of Night Theme by Raiders of the Lost ARP. Falty DL especially crafted a thing of true beauty in a year where it has seemingly become a prequiste in Bass Music to use cut up RnB vocals and be hugely in debt to US Garage and House. Make It Difficult shone head and shoulders above the competition. I'm not one to bother with the compare and contrast much but for Blawans yoke to be No.1 on RA's top 50 and this to not even get a mention is fucking retarded.
I think my first ever post on here was about the then emerging Irish house producer John Daly. Since then John's stock has continued to rise even though, for me, his move away from deeper territory saw me lose a bit of interest in some of his music. His latest release on the brilliant Further Records, Sea Level, is a truly exceptional record though. Tom selected the Aerosol Mix in his post but for me it's about the incredible 20min plus beatless Haze Mix on the a-side. This kind of stuff has always been John's forte IMO and here he has crafted one of the releases of the year.
Our adopted bearded old fart from Italy, Lerosa, has continued to do his thang over the last 12 months with his 2nd album dropping, and it was pretty darn great. Ordinary People, the re-working of the earlier single Facade, now with added OliverWho Factory, was my pick. Slipping away from things Irish, Uzuri, the UK label Amanatto came out on also delivered the ace debut single from P.T.A. ingeniously titled The First Four (they've got a new 12 out too, with the even more imaginatively title A cut, Untitled), my choice from this was slow mo bruiser Vertical Impact. Uzuri also released the debut cut by Irish deep house duo Slowburn on a compilation 12″ last year and the boys have followed this up this year with their debut full ep on elektrosouls. Should be plenty more in the pipeline from these guys in 2012 too.
Sing It!
The post on LWE's EoyL about Storm Queen – It Goes On made a good point about the over abundance of vocals in dance music this year, with them mostly being those little snippets that are becoming increasingly grating. But there was a bunch of tracks that had, y'know, full vocals in them that eclipsed most of that other nonsense. The aformentioned Storm Queen is easily one of the songs of the year, it's drawn out, teasing intro finally giving away to that perfect chorus with an amazing vocal performance from Damon Scott. 20 years ago this would have been riding on top of the pop charts.
Love is the theme of my other favourite vocal tracks of the year; the ludicrous collision of Sylvester and David Hentschel's I Can't Dance that is Tyson's After You're Gone, Colonol Abrams' collaboration with Omar S on Who Wrote The Rules of Love and most notably the barmy 3-way of Haddaway, Wolfram and Legowelt on Wolfers remix of This Thing Called Love. While Omar S' Here's Your Trance and Legowelt's The Teac Life are getting the love on other lists neither were these artists high points of 2011, IMO. Legowelt's work also gets my nod for remix of the year too.
My continued gripe with the state of play in techno over the last couple of years continues unabated with much of it still leaving me really cold. I've said it enough on here though, so instead will look at the things I did love over the last 12 months.
One thing no one could have predicted 12 months ago was that one of the sterling techno releases of 2011 would come via a Detroit artist barely heard of in 20 years, but Marty Bond's Phoenix-esque re-emergence with the near faultless Surkit Chamber-The Melding album under his Reel By Real monikor was a brilliant surprise. Straight up 313 techno for the dancefloor that brimmed with more character and funk than 50 stamped white labels from Berlin combined.
Funnily enough, one of the other stand out techno releases of the year came from a member of Sandwell District – a collective of artists/label that has really helped re-shape techno into it's current po-faced and drab existence. Appearing on Blackest Ever Black – a label that actually puts a huge effort into it's appearance and feel – Regis' brooding In A Syrian Tongue was a wonderfully dark and multi-layered single. You didn't need to be on a dancefloor to appreciate it's many facets but the lead off cut, Blood Witness, was sure to shake the floor.
Rob Hood managed to put out one of his best tracks in quite some time – Baby, Baby - under his Floorplan guise while also putting out what was arguably his worst ever track, a totally pointless edit of Gino Soccio's Dancer on this 12. It sounds like he threw it together in about 15 seconds. A very odd choice of song to put out.
The techno release of the year has to be the Labryinth double pack that Time To Express released to coincide with the Japanese festival of the same name. With only Mike Parker's cut coming up short of essential, Peter Van Hoesen, Donato Dozzy and Convextion delivered incredible selections, and I've listened to these more than any techno this year. It is also making me yearn for more Convextion material from Gerard Hanson. He seems to be running out of steam a little bit with the E.R.P. monikor (releases I would have deemed essential before the last couple) and going on the stunning Oil On Metal, he's still got plenty of great techno still hidden away.
A few other notable techno selections:
Surgeon – Radiance. The intense centrepiece to his Breaking The Frame Lp, the rest of the album was enjoyable but this swamped it. One of his best works ever.
Mark Ernestus meets BBC – Version. The beatless Version 2 was the pick for me, opening the song up into another level. Perfection.
Lory D – Acidronix – Deranged acid with a grinding synth line that came on like the aural equivalent of someone unexpectedly getting sick on your shoulder in the middle of a dancefloor. But in a good way.
House music continued it's obsession with trying to sound like it was made in Chicago in 1988, but it wasn't all bad. In terms of the Chi-town bizness, Liverpudlian John Heckle proved that you could nod yer head to this sound while still giving it yer own character. It often sounds like he's given his drum machines a bit of a kicking before plugging them in, and it's all the better for it. Out of his 3 12s and and long player on Mathematics it was the raw italo/Chi-town stomp of Voyager (Voyeur) that I fell in love with the most. He got a lot of hype around him, but with cuts like that, it was deserved.
Vakula had a very productive year, and while I didn't have the urge (or the money) to hunt it all down he offered up the wonderful – and IMO, must have - Picture Of You during the summer on Dekmental. He approaches house music with a certain psychedelic edge not dissimilar to the Jujus or Reggie Dokes, and it was at its most effective on the slowburning title track of this 12″
Juju and Jordash continue to be perched head and shoulders above most other electronic music makers; Unleash The Golem pt1 has popped up here and there on year end lists already but for me it was all about the panaromic beauty of Avian Oasis, on this downbeat 12; one of their finest moments yet.
Tom also mentioned Willie Burns in his round up and I'm gonna go with Key Horizons from his self titled ep on LIES as my choice from his output. A couple of other repeat offenders from that post include Pittman's On A Beautiful and Spekter's Pipebomb.
Out With The New, In With The Old
Time for a quick re-cap of some excellent re-issues. While the flurry of old Chicago stuff continued on from last year, Clone, who'd been doing it for years on the Classics imprint steered clear of it, instead giving us the final instalment of the Unit Moebius Golden Years Trilogy, it's deep melodic techno being the strongest of the 3-parter. They also kickstarted their expansive Drexciya series with Part 1 of Journey Of The Deep Sea Dweller series. Essential.
Throbbing Gristle saw a bunch of their albums get the remastered/repress bizness with the sparse, cold electronics of Chris & Cosey's Songs of Love and Lust topping the list for me.
And we can't forget about Seventh Sign getting a hold of the amazing G Strings – Land Of Dreams and saving us all a couple of hundred euros.
Suicide @ Primavera
I cut back a little bit on buying records this year, deciding instead to give myself a few more breaks from Dublin/Ireland and I tied in 3 trips with 3 festivals over the course the year. I did a write up about the excellent Free Rotation at the time and most recently I attended All Tomorrow's Parties in Minehead, the many highlights of which included Sun Ra Arkestra, Caribou, Factory Floor, Battles, Omar Souleyman, Roll The Dice and the arse rattling bass assault of Flying Lotus.
Primavera in Barcelona provided a similarly eclectic line up (which was my one gripe with Free Rotation, it was a bit too one dimensional) with fun performances from Nissenmondai, Emeralds, Einstürzende Neubauten, Big Boi, Twin Shadow, PJ Harvey, Swans and Jon Spencer Blues Explosion. The show stoppers were Suicide though, and their performance was easily my gig of the year. The last place you expect to see these 2 battered old punks is on a big outdoor stage in front of thousands but, boy, did it work. They tore through their debut album in typically brutal and unrestrained fashion and the sight of thousands totally losing their shit to their nihilistic noise was off the chain. I'm still rushing just at the thought of it.
On a side note regards hitting the dancefloor I have to give a special mention to the Sunday Times crew in Cork who throw what is, unarguably for me, the best party in Ireland. I've become a little bored of clubbing in Dublin even though there is still plenty going on, but there is nothing that is such an unbridled celebration of music as Sunday Times. The all day party lets the Djs do Whatever They Want and it's a rare treat to watch a crowd go with whatever whims and flights of fancy the djs choose. I enjoyed dancing and djing (while sitting down, naturally) at this more than any other party over the last 12 months.
Kassem Mosse and Tr One provided the 2 best sets I saw in Dublin. Actually, infuriatingly I didn't see all of Mosse, but what I did was awesome. Tr One played a bunch of live sets throughout the year with the highlight being their final performance in Twisted Pepper in Dublin in November, where the walls were literally shaking from their machine funk assault.
Lerosa – Wave Disco / Gary Odyssey – Bleep43 Podcast
I'm a little bit hazy on what mixes did it for me this year (outside of our own) but 2 I know I've had on repeat at different stages include Leo's guest mix for Sunday Times Soundsystem, a barmy mix of 80s oddities (kudos especially for unearthing that amazing Eurythmics B-Side – Lets Just Close Our Eyes) and new wigouts and the Italo/Euro Disco megamix by the mysterious Gary Odyssey. The Odyssey mix didn't throw up a huge amount of rare-or-whatever that we watch out for these days when looking at that period of music but it was just SO MUCH FUN.
A few More Bits and Bobs
On an electro tip for the year, Dj Overdose released his 2nd Model Man vinyl, the fantastic Forever Strangers that was as eclectic as it was brilliant. Conforce may have got everyone in a tizzy with his nice but pretty bland techno, but his Versalife electro work contained in the Night Time Activity series far surpassed t'other while UK producer Om Unit delivered a thumping bit of post-Drexciya electro with the excellent The Timps
Tom selected Myrtle Avenue from Floating Points output in 2011 but the low slung funk of Marilyn won out for me.
Moving off the dancefloor Nuel's Trance Mutation on Further was a top notch cohesive collection of muted electro/acoustic ambience; Oneohtrix Point Never had a patchy return with Replica but it contained some amazing moments too and Swedish duo Roll The Dice also delivered the droning, black cloud of synth-laden krautrock that was In Dust, which is keeping me on my toes as winter closes in on us.
And those 2010 releases that deserve a mention.
I'm excusing myself in not having these in 2010 as they both came out in December:
Krystal Klear – Tried For Love (Hudson Mohawke Remix) This Irish producer's 12″ on All City was a solid peice of modern boogie but the big winner on it was the Hud Mo remix that took the Galaxy 2 Galaxy template and updated it in a way UR should have done some time ago. A great melding of soulful Detroit techno and stuttering, funky drum programming.
Phochos – Glaciers/Interface Phrase 1. This 2 tracker provided us with Glaciers, a lush ambient cut that was bristling with cold war iceyness and another brilliant piece of remixing by Legowelt on Interface Phrase 1. Here he went down a deeeeep trance/techno route, showing once again that he's far too many tricks up his sleeve for one person. The fucker.
Ok, that's it
Big ups to all who have read, contributed and supported us and our endeavours here at ISM over the last 12 months. We we're a little sparse on posting at times, so it's cool that you haven't gone and abandoned us and next year will see more of the same with more music coming out of us via productions/labels and all that jazz too.

AstraZeneca Targets Gout Resurgence Due To Obesity
By Liisa Vexler
AstraZeneca Plc is poised to receive approval for a new, more effective treatment for gout. The disease has seen a recent gradual resurgence as a result of rising obesity rates and declining quality of diet. In a recent study, the Annals of Rheumatic Disease reported that in the United Sates, 8.3 million people or 4% of the population, had gout in 2011, while in the United Kingdom, the number of cases rose 64% between 1997 and 2012.
Current drug therapies, some of which have been used for more than 50 years, are not effective in all patients. These medications produce side effects and skin conditions that are not tolerated by many patients, so physicians will often prescribe corticosteroids or over-the-counter anti-inflammatories.
AstraZeneca's new product called lesinurad is currently seeking regulatory approval, while last year, Pfizer Inc. purchased the rights to another drug that is in the early phase of clinical trials. Most treatments for gout currently in use are generic or non-prescription; this makes the market relatively small, but JPMorgan Chase & Co forecasted last month that lesinurad may achieve sales of $1 billion a year.
Gout is a condition caused by excess uric acid, a waste product, in the bloodstream. It is a form of arthritis that, while not life-threatening, can be painful and debilitating. The uric acid crystallizes and gets deposited in the joints (usually the big toes), making them extremely painful. Gout is caused by lifestyle factors including obesity, blood pressure, cholesterol, alcohol, and some medications, though genes also play a role. According to research company Decision Resources Group, approximately 17.7 million people worldwide will have gout by 2021.
AstraZeneca's new product assists with excretion of the excess uric acid by blocking a protein that allows the body to reabsorb the acid. While the new treatments may be prescribed alone, experts say they will be most effective when combined with existing ones.

August 18, 2006Albany -- Pluto's days as a full-fledged planet and the exact number of planets in our solar system may be up in the air. The International Astronomical Union will meet next week to decide the new definition of a planet.
One likely proposal by the IAU will be to keep Pluto as a planet and add three others for a total of twelve.
This has textbook writers, teachers, and planetarium workers waiting anxiously to get the word out in case of changes. "We are on the brink of something big here," says Veronica Martinez of Thronateeska. "I mean all the science books in the United States and all over the world are going to change and this is a big thing and so we are just wanting to stay up with it so we can teach the right information to the kids and everyone that comes to visit our planetarium."
Recently a California astronomer found several planet-like objects in the Kuiper Belt, including one that is larger than Pluto.

PhD student Sue Lynn Lau dances her way to Chicago
Media Release: 24 November 2008
It was announced on Friday that Garvan endocrinologist and PhD student, Dr Sue Lynn Lau, had won the Graduate Student category of the AAAS Science "Dance your PhD" contest. See her winning entry on YouTube.
On October 10, Science magazine challenged researchers around
the world to interpret their PhD research in dance form, film the
dance, and share it with the world on YouTube by mid-November. A
total of 36 dances - including solo ballet and circus spectacle - were
submitted online.
A panel of nine judges: the three winners of the first "Dance Your PhD" contest, three scientists from Harvard University, and three artistic directors of the dance company Pilobolus, scored the dances on their ability to bridge the art and science worlds.
The judges were also looking for those dances that most creatively conveyed the scientific essence of their respective PhD theses, rather than a high quality video.
Sue Lynn's PhD examines The role of vitamin D in beta-cell function. With the Nutcracker Suite playing in the background, she appears as the Sugar Plum Fairy, delivering marshmallow glucose to three beta cell dancers. Meanwhile, a fifth dancer twirls around the stage - representing the sunlight required for vitamin D biosynthesis."
"I really love dancing - although I haven't done it seriously," said Sue Lynn. "I did a couple of years of ballet when I was in kindergarten, and I've done some small classes - swing, a little ceroc and salsa."
"In my view, song and dance should be an integral part of culture. It's how people communicated in the past, how oral traditions were handed down. Somehow we seem to have lost that participative aspect to music in our society."
Everybody in the video is from Garvan's Immunology and Inflammation
Program. The three beta cells are Sue Lynn's sister, Sue Mei Lau, other
PhD students, Jessica Stolp and Kim Cheng, and Matthew Adams the
Research Assistant.
"Kim was the sun," said Sue Lynn. "He was a real hit on YouTube!"
So how did they actually go about producing the video?
"After we heard about the contest, we talked about it for a couple of weeks, discussing how we could do it. We're not technical at all. Another PhD student in our lab, Ken Ho, shot the video. We did it four times in a row and chose the best take because none of us know how to edit videos."
"We shot it on the stage in Garvan's NAB auditorium, and I learned how to put together music in Apple's Garage Band – with lots of reference to the Help menu!"
The contest winners (there were four categories) have each been paired with a professional choreographer, and together they will attempt to translate a scientific paper the researcher has authored into a dance. In the case of Sue Lynn, it will be a paper authored by Dr Jenny Gunton, her supervisor.
The four choreographers, all based in Chicago, will create a single four-part performance based on the papers. In February 2009, the winning scientists will be guests of honor at the AAAS Annual Meeting in Chicago, where they will have front-row seats to the world debut of This Is Science, a professional dance interpretation of their published research.
The Garvan Institute of Medical Research was founded in 1963. Initially a research department of St Vincent's Hospital in Sydney, it is now one of Australia's largest medical research institutions with approximately 400 scientists, students and support staff. Garvan's main research programs are: Cancer, Diabetes & Obesity, Immunology and Inflammation, Osteoporosis and Bone Biology, and Neuroscience. The Garvan's mission is to make significant contributions to medical science that will change the directions of science and medicine and have major impacts on human health. The outcome of Garvan's discoveries is the development of better methods of diagnosis, treatment, and ultimately, prevention of disease.

Alex Wilson is a certified nursing assistant, hoping to become a licensed practical nurse, by attending classes at Pinellas Technical Education Center in Clearwater.
Another transformation is ongoing, from male to female. Four years of hormone therapy means the process is well underway.
Up until yesterday Alex was using the women's restroom on the PTEC campus. But that all came to an end after a fellow student complained, and went to administration. Wilson says she was pulled out of class and told her alternatives. "If I continue to use the female restroom that I would have charges pressed against me. And that because of that I would be removed from the program as a nurse," said Wilson.
Instead of using the restroom near her classroom Wilson says she now has to use one in the administration building. "It's a small restroom in, what looks like a storage part of the administration building. There's some cabinets, cleaning supplies," she said.
A similar case decided in Colorado may provide guidance. The parents of 1st grader Coy Mathis recently won their fight to allow Coy to use the girl's bathroom. Coy was born a male, but who identifies as a female. "There are thousands of families like ours across the country and none should have to fight for their children to have basic respect," said Kathryn Mathis, Coy's mother.
"It's not right. And the fact that I would have to continue to use that restroom for the continuation of my education; that's not right," said Wilson.
The Pinellas schools spokeswoman says administrators plan to look into this case to understand what happened. "In a scenario such as the one you're describing , a person will be offered access to a private restroom. And that's for the individual's privacy and for the privacy of other students," said Melanie Marquez Parra.
The school spokesman says administrators will gather facts to see if anything should have been handled differently.

Eclipse! Thats the next cool astronomical event for us, and the lunar eclipse happens next month. The bad news: It starts after midnight and peaks about 4 a.m. The good news: It happens in the early morning hours of April 15, so many of us can walk outside, bleary-eyed from working on the taxes due that day, to enjoy the event.
The moon will begin edging into the Earths shadow just before 1 a.m. but will not enter the darkest part of the shadow for another hour. As it enters the darker umbra portion of the shadow, the shadows curved edge reveals the spherical shape of Earth, which cast it.
The lunar eclipse was an early proof that Earth was not flat, since the only shape that always casts a circular shadow is a sphere. Early Greek astronomers recognized this more than 2millennia ago and even used the relative sizes of the shadow and moon to estimate the size of the moon compared to Earth.
Note that eclipses are different from the crescent phases of the moon. Those are caused by its presenting different amounts of its night side to our view as it orbits the Earth. The shadow of the Earth is not involved in the phases of the moon.
During a total eclipse, the color of the moon can range from dark gray to a ruddy red, depending on the cloud conditions around the Earths twilight zone at the time. If that band of longitude is cloudy, then little light filters through it to give the moon any illumination. If it is mostly clear, then we get a red eclipse from light that goes through the twilight band.
Why red? For the same reason the sky is blue. Sunlight is a spectrum of colors from violet to red, peaking in yellow-green. Sunlight is scattered by a phenomenon that preferentially scatters blue light more than red. The blue light is scattered in all directions, while the red portion continues on to the moon during an eclipse.
During the day, when you look up in the air, you see this scattered light coming from all directions the blue sky. At sunrise or sunset, the sun is orange or red because that blue light was removed from the beam on the way to your eyes.
If bad weather steals our view, we will have the next chance on Oct. 8. That event, again inconveniently during the business/school week, is less favorable. The umbral phase will begin after the start of dawn, when the moon is about to set and is low in the western sky.
Lets hope for clear skies in April!

Shelby Loses Two Representatives, One Senator in Redistricting
Shelby County would lose two state House seats and one Senate seat in a secretive redistricting process under way in the Republican-controlled Tennessee legislature, reports Richard Locker.
Shelby County's population of 927,644 entitles the county to just over 4.82 state Senate seats and 14.47 House seats. Lawmakers say that will surely translate to the loss of one of Shelby's six Senate seats and probably two of its 16 state House seats.
Memphis Democratic Rep. Barbara Cooper said she has been told that she and Rep. G.A. Hardaway, D-Memphis, are being placed in the same House district.
(Note: On the rumor circuit at Legislatorland, there are also tales of Democratic Reps. Jeanne Richardson and Mike Kernell being lumped into the same district.)

'Gee! Gee! Geeee!'
I was snapped out of my thoughts by Ray's panicked voice. The sun was still low and I could still only make out the shapes of Ray and Mikey from the other side of yesterday's fire. Ray sat up over Mikey, who I could hear moaning softly. I was quickly on my feet and kneeling beside Mikey. His brow was hot and his face flushed, his eyes screwed up. Ray gestured to Mikey's arm, his sleeve now rolled up, to two small holes which punctured his skin. The skin around it was blackened and purple and Mikey hissed as Ray straightened his arm.
"Oh Mikey!"
Mikey opened his eyes at the sound of my voice and his eyes were sad but he was holding back any tears. He gave me a sad smile. Ray was using one of his hands to brush Mikey's hair from his face and was trying to catch my eye contact but I couldn't stop looking at my poor brother.
"When did they happen?" I murmured softly, delicately tracing the wound that I was now sure was a bite mark.
He shrugged but after receiving a long stare from me, sighed before speaking.
"About a week ago, when we were out looking for Frank. I didn't want you to be worried!"
I laughed stupidly as my brother's comment. Ray raised his eyebrows at this but said nothing.
"Well, I'm a little worried now!" Mikey bit his lip and closed his eyes as another surge of pain came.
I reached for the supplies bag but Ray had already started to shake his head, telling me I wouldn't find what I was looking for. I looked anyway, seeing only cans and bottles of liquid, no bandages or any medical supplies in sight. I reached for a canteen and opened it, moving it over the bite on Mikey's arm. I glanced at Mikey, who had moved his other arm to his face so that he could bite down on his sleeve if the pain got too much. I gave his shoulder a small squeeze before pouring some water onto the wound so as to clean it. Mikey wriggled underneath the lukewarm water but stayed still. I gestured to Ray's waist but he just looked back, his face crumpled to show he didn't understand. I gestured again and this time he understood, removing his belt and unbuckling it. Mikey looked at me warily but didn't remove the sleeve from his mouth. I carefully looped the belt just above the wound and began to tighten it. Mikey couldn't contain the screams this time and Ray had to hold down his arm so that I could carry on. I felt tears on my face but ignored them, tears couldn't help Mikey now.
I tightened it as much as it was able and held the belt in place with his sleeve, which I rolled back down to cover up the bite. Mikey's face was wet with sweat and salty tears but there was no way I could stop his pain. Ray stroked Mikey's face and I stroked his back, both of us needing to somehow comfort him. I waited until Mikey had calmed down a little before moving to pack up our bag and scatter the fire's ashes. Ray nodded at me as I gestured to Mikey and we both seized an arm and pulled him to his feet. He whimpered and looked at me, almost pleadingly, but there was nothing I could do for Mikey now. We had to keep going.
"I'm sorry!"
Mikey just tipped his head, as a way of a nod and we set off walking.
"Here come the hallucinations," Ray joked but it really wasn't funny in the slightest.
We were having to stop regularly as with my leg, it was difficult to support myself and carry Mikey. We walked a few hours and then stopped for an hour, continuing the pattern until almost nightfall. It was nearly dark now but we had decided to wait until dark before stopping. At least the plan would have worked, if I hadn't collapsed onto the ground. We had been trying to save water and while Mikey drank a lot, I insisted on it and Ray drank a little, I had been avoiding wasting any more supplies on myself. It would have worked but the dehydration finally got to me. Ray had scolded me jokily but it wasn't until he came back shaking after looking into the supplies bag that we realised how bad the situation was. I had forgotten the canteens. After washing Mikey's bite, I had left they all behind. We were at least twenty five miles from them by now and there was no question of going back for them. That left all of us without fluids, including me who was currently swaying from lack of water and Mikey who was currently sleeping off the effects of walking all day in the hot sun. We needed to think about our next move but I couldn't think straight and my vision seemed to be growing worse by the second. Ray was looking worriedly at me and I knew I needed to speak to reassure him that I was okay but I didn't think that I was okay; this really did look like the end. The end of all of us.
"What do we do?" Ray nibbled on his lip and looked at me with big eyes.
"How the fuck should I know?!" I muttered back, holding a hand to my head.
I didn't need to apologise for being sharp with him because it was a stupid question. Yet as leader, I was expected to know, without Frank I had to take over properly for the first time since we had started running. And I was failing miserably. Not that it mattered; it seemed I was going to die at any moment anyway.
"I think we need to sleep on it!" I spoke, yawning loudly and lying down to show Ray my intentions.
"Gee, no! Don't sleep! You might not wake up!" Ray jumped on top of me, making me wriggle a little but I didn't have the strength to push him off.
He looked down at me, worriedly and sad. But I couldn't concentrate on him. I just wanted to sleep and forget about the burning sensation of thirst in the back of my throat. My lids were heavy and I allowed them to close, smiling as I felt Ray try to desperately shake me awake. It didn't matter anymore, nothing mattered but sleeping. A hand hit me hard in the face, making me crack open my eyes a little. Frank's face was inches from my own, with tears staining his perfect face. He was crying on me and with a lot of effort, I managed to move a strand of hair from his face and stroke his cheek gently.
"Gee, please don't go!" His voice sounded strange and distant but I silenced him by pushing the back of his head until he was so close I could feel his skin against my cheek and smell his gorgeous scent.
"I love you, Frank!" I muttered my voice hoarse and scratchy from lack of water and I pressed my lips to his forehead before closing my eyes and giving in to the darkness.

Tulare County, Calif. (KMPH News) - Five months after the death of a Visalia toddler the child's own mother is now in custody in connection with her murder. Nicole Lee was booked into the Bob Wiley Detention Facility in Tulare County Tuesday afternoon. The 29-year old is the second person arrested for the death of three and a half year old Natalynn Miller.
Rescuers found the child unresponsive and not breathing on March 28, 2009 at the Visalia apartment where Natalynn lived in with her mother and mother's boyfriend, Ryan Jones.
Jones remains in custody. He was charged with one count of murder and one count of child abuse after an autopsy report revealed the little girl died of blunt force trauma to her head and body. Now, the Tulare County District Attorney's office also believes the child's mother had something to do with it.
Lee is facing four charges including child endangerment with a special allegation of willful harm or injury resulting in death, possession of marijuana and drug paraphernalia.
Family members tell KMPH News Attorney Mark Coleman will represent Lee. Coleman is also defending Jones who has long said the toddler's death was unintentional.
"This is a terrible accident, and we want people to keep an open mind," said Coleman during an interview with KMPH News on March 27th. "We don't know what happened in this case yet. Mr. Jones is claiming that he is innocent and I believe he's innocent."
The Visalia Police Department suspects it was Jones who beat Natalynn to death while he was supposed to be taking care of her.
Since Natalynn's passing her father has kept her room untouched. Her stuffed animals still sit on her bed.
"Today I found out that Nicole has been arrested in connection with the death of our daughter," said Troy Miller. "My prayers are that justice will be served for Natalynn and I am encouraged to see that the authorities are moving forward in this case."
Lee's bail is set at $200,000.

The price has officially been set: Twitter priced its shares at $26 just hours before Thursday's public offering. The original price was rumored to be somewhere between $17 and $20, but the spike comes as little surprise to those who have been following news of the company's IPO. As Mashable reports, at $26 a share Twitter would raise around $1.8 billion. To quote singer Billy Paul: Let the dollars circulate!

Mary Case, Glenfield
The Writing Contest for Young and Adult Writers 2004
First Place in Category: Short Fiction, age 21+
I dream almost every night. In the dreams I sometimes am a mysterious woman in a foreign country; sometimes a writer or a musician writing or playing in secret, but always I am beautiful.
This is not so in the daylight. I have the look of familial generations past-mother, grandmother, great-grandmother- a long line of Irish-German women. My features reveal and betray me. Short and stout with forgettable brown hair and dull gray eyes. I look in the mirror and pull at my face. The chin stretches but remains flabby. The flat gray of my eyes peer hopefully but doubtfully. I am no beauty. Having faced this fact, I go on with my life.
I am on the street glimpsing in windows at various items, but still I see the reflection. The one I cant get away from. I try to stare away from it by noticing the people passing by. People of every size and shape. Some tall and sinewy; other petite-small boned, but all possessing a lovely symmetry I could never have.
I reach into my pocket; its a tight fit. The flab of my thigh and hand together force the pocket to bulge into an uncooperative yawn. I pull the card
Jonathan W.Richards, 18 East Avenue, NYC.
I press the button. He answers in a voice not quite a whisper.
He is not what I expected. Hes young and beautiful. So beautiful. His blonde curly hair lay about his shoulders with such softness and stillness that I had to keep from reaching out and touching it.
At first, the room is as expected. Several bottles of medication, a dried Ivy plant, and a small dirty glass line the windowsill. There are papers strewn about and furniture is sparse; nothing commands much attention in the center of the room, but my eyes are drawn to the corner. There it is. Written neatly, in mostly lower case lettering, in black marker, the words, I am dying.
We sit at odds, sipping ice tea and gazing around one another. He asks it; they all do eventually. At least thats what they told us in our training. Why would anyone want to do this?
Jonathan is not expecting me; I can tell because his voice is thick with sleep or alcohol when I buzz to be let in. Hes wearing an old pair of gray sweats and a dingy black t-shirt; his feet are bare, and when he backs up to let me in, he steps on a bottle cap.
Damn, he says, Sorry. I didnt feel like cleaning up.
The room is littered with beer bottles; theres an ashtray jammed with smoked cigarettes. Its as if I have walked into a party uninvited. We spend long moments in silence, and I have to leave after an hour or so to go to work.
I wait tables at a diner called Big Eds. My boss is Juan Carlos, but people who dont know him assume he is Big Ed. I dont know why since he is only 55 and 155 lbs. I guess people always believe what they read and not what they see. He speaks to me in broken English, Youre a good waitress. Not like the others. They spend too much time talking. You
you take the order and go on your way. All business
thats you Maggie.
The other girls, Lisa and Carla, make more tips that I do. Juan Carlos knows this and tries to keep me from quitting by complimenting me every chance he gets. Hes a smart man because he knows that I need compliments more that I need tips.
At first, I think that I am seeing things. No one would write these words on a wall. Jonathan follows my gaze and nods affirmably. Its true then. Theyre etched there. In that heavy, black marker. The words, I am dying.
It has been weeks since I last saw the words on the wall. Jonathan is hiding them from me. I dont believe he knows hes hiding them. Once he covered the words with a pizza box. I remember thinking that the pizza left in the box perhaps needed the words as much as Jonathan.
We shared a lot in this time together. I have sat for hours with him and listened while he prattled on about his days at college in Upstate, NY. He speaks as if it were only yesterday, but we both know that speaking about the past makes the future that much less intrusive.
Juan Carlos is weeping when I arrive to work. The restaurant is empty except for Carla and Lisa who are already putting on their coats. They say no words to me as they pass by me; they only shake their heads. I watch them walk into the street; this is when I notice that it has begun to rain. The door finally closes with a soft thud, and I turn to face the crying man again.
I have to tell you some unhappy news, he begins, the restaurant is closing. I have no work for you.
I kiss his cheek and say good-bye after 2 hours of sipping coffee and crying with him. He tells me we are family, but I know that in a few months, he will pass out of my life like so many others who have said those words, and so many who dont even send a Christmas card. I will keep in touch too, I promise. I will go home and wait for Christmas when I can send a card that will come back weeks later stamped addressee unknown. Just like all the rest.
Jonathan sits hugging his knees in the room lit only with candlelight. He keeps the room dim since the chemotherapy made his hair fall out. There is a movie playing, but we are not watching it. We are listening to the sound of each other breathing. I listen to his because I fear I may not hear it much longer; he listens to mine because he believes he hears the sound of the ocean in my lungs. He has told me this. I smile when he tells me. I know that no one has ever heard much in me before. Perhaps no one has had as great a need to listen. He is pressing his ears between my breasts and asking me to breath deeply. I do this for him. The first time this happened he asks permission. He touches me with a sweet innocence. And I breathe
I have been standing in the unemployment line for 45 minutes. My daily prayers have changed; I still ask to die so that I may get the chance to be beautiful, but I now also ask to die because in a short time I know that once Jonathan is gone, there will be no more ocean in my lungs-only Juan Carlos tearful confession, unemployment, and ugliness.
Jonathan hands me an envelope. I open it thinking it is money; he knows it has been nearly 2 months since I last worked. Lying at the bottom of the envelope I see several blonde tendrils. They are glowing. Jonathan is wiping the tears from my face; he presses his forehead against mine, and I rub my hands on top of his naked head. He kisses me. I feel no shame the way I used to when I kissed a man. Maybe because there is no shame in kissing an angel.
I arrived at Jonathans apartment an hour late because the first bus was too crowded, and I had to wait for another one. I have been pressing the intercom button for well over 20 minutes, and he does not come. Finally the man from apartment 4B lets me upstairs. He knows I am the one who comes to help Jonathan accept his death; what he doesnt know is that I am the one who doesnt want to accept it.
Jonathans door is ajar, and I softly call his name. I peer in only a little because I am afraid of what I will find. I do not find him gone.
He is in the corner on his knees scrubbing frantically at the wall. He scrubs hard then dips the brush into the bucket and scrubs again. I watch him do this 4 or 5 times before I go towards him. He seems unaware, at first, that I am there, but he knows because he tilts his head to assure himself of my footsteps.
There is an extra brush under the kitchen sink; I go get it, kneel beside him, dip the brush in the hot water and begin to help him scrub at the words-the words I am dying. They do not come off, even after long moments of hard rubbing.
They are written in permanent ink. I know this in my head, but it is my heart that does the scrub brushing.
He is scratching, clawing, pushing at the wall with the brush, and his grunts of effort are getting louder. He finally stops-as if a plug has been pulled. His forehead is pressed against the wall, and weve both stopped scrubbing. His hand loosens; the brush drops aimlessly, hits the side of the bucket and lands between it and the wall. He leans back on his heels and I touch his arm. He looks at me as if suddenly aware that I am here, and he says, in a hoarse whisper--I am
. I wrinkle my brow, and he knows I am waiting for him to finish it. He does. He whispers again, I am dying.
It was hours before I could manage to help him up from the corner and put him to bed. I watched him sleep and breathe. I practice it-his labored breathing-and I realize now that I have practiced well because every intake and exhale is in sync with his, and so I sit; he sleeps; and we breathe together, Jonathan and I.
It has been 2 months since Jonathan breathed for the last time. I have visited this grave-this piece of earth that encapsulates him
my Jonathan. At almost every visit, I find myself having to remind my body to breathe in and out. The rhythm of my heart pounds in my ears, and I remember I have to breathe even if every inhalation of air feels like the sting of a slap because I am here and Jonathan is not.
It is my fourth visit to Jonathans grave. The gray sky has been threatening rain all day. It makes good on its threat. A large drop of rain drips on the top of my head, and more drops follow until it becomes a downpour.
The rain jars my memory. Someone once told me that when it rains, it means some where in heaven, God is crying because he feels someones sadness.
I know in my heart that God is crying for me. It is my sadness he feels. I lift my face and accept the rain. I lift my arms to it. I am dripping with it and saturated by itI accept Gods tears. I take a deep breath and despite the noise of the thunder, I think I hear. I know I hear. The sound of the ocean in my lungs. And I am beautiful.

Just finished watching Saunders' Bellator 63 destruction of Raul Amaya and wanted to give the man his propers (sorry to have missed the live thread but I'm a dad first).
Admittedly, I'd never seen Ben fight live and was impressed by his aggression, creativity, and sportsmanship. Of course, most impressive were the 2 'LETS MUTHERFUKERS!!!' he dropped before the fight.
The BE community is lucky to have you, Ben. It was very cool to have you comment and update us throughout the week, when we all know damn well the amount of tension you must've been under leading up to the fight. Thanks for taking the time, thanks for brilliantly repping BE, and congratulations on a big, seemingly injury-free victory.
We are proud of you.
Also, if you stop by here, could you post the link to your walkout shirt again? 'Twas pretty dope.
Thanks again.

Abstract: Cancer develops by the accumulation of numerous mutations that usurp signaling, proliferation, and apoptotic pathways. Specifically, the p53 pathway is disrupted in the majority of cancers. Multiple mechanisms inactivate this pathway including mutations of the p53 gene itself and overexpression of the MDM2 and MDM4 genes which encode inhibitors of p53. Using mouse models, we have shown the functional importance of Mdm2 and Mdm4, an Mdm2-related protein, as inhibitors of p53 activity. Deletion of Mdm2 or Mdm4 in mice causes an embryo lethal phenotype that is completely rescued by concomitant deletion of p53. Additionally, mice heterozygous for Mdm2 or Mdm4 show increased p53 activity in response to ionizing radiation suggesting that even two fold differences in p53 inhibitors may affect tumor onset. Such two fold changes in MDM2 or MDM4 levels may affect tumor incidence in humans as an MDM2 polymorphism that increases MDM2 levels is associated with earlier age of onset of cancer. In response to DNA damage, the Mdm2 gene is also alternatively spliced to generate small Mdm2 isoforms that inhibit Mdm2 and thus activate p53. The role of these isoforms in tumorigenesis is controversial. We will test the hypothesis that alterations in the levels of the p53 inhibitors Mdm2 and Mdm4 affect the timing of tumor onset and the kinds of tumors that develop. First, we plan to examine the effects of Mdm2 or Mdm4 haploinsufficiency in tumor prone mice with p53 or K-ras mutations. We will generate a mouse model that cannot make the Mdm2 isoforms to examine effects on tumorigenesis. We will also characterize transgenic mice that overexpress Mdm4 to examine its role in tumorigenesis. Lastly, we will examine the relationship of Mdm2 and Mdm4 in inhibition of p53 by replacing the Mdm2 gene with the Mdm4 gene.

Risk Factors for Chlamydia

A risk factor is something that increases your chances of getting a disease or condition.
Sexually transmitted chlamydial infections are transferred from one person to another by direct contact with an infected partner. Chlamydia is highly contagious and one of the most common sexually transmitted diseases (STDs).
Risk Factors for Chlamydia
Factors that increase your risk of getting chlamydia include:
Risk Factors for Neonatal Chlamydia
Neonatal chlamydia is transmitted during childbirth from an infected mother to her baby. It is a common cause of newborn conjunctivitis and chlamydial pneumonia. Most hospitals in the US are required to give eye drops to newborns to prevent conjunctivitis.

Professor John G. Thomas
Visited Wuhan, China, a vibrant inland industrial city reminiscent of Pittsburgh in the 1950's era, relative to air quality. While there, I visited the 5,000 year old Guiyang "Temple of the Regained Perfection", one of China's oldest, and learned about the "3 Yellow Cranes" which is a biblical-like story of unselfish support. Was the Key Note Speaker at the IADR (International Association for Dental Research) Regional Meeting, PAPF/APR, organized by Wuhan University, September 22-25, 2009. My lecture was entitled "Consequences of an Unbalanced Oral Microbial World form Birth to Death" and integrated Age Specific Management Strategies.
Enjoyed Wuhan very much and could see it developing as a western hub soon.
On my way to Manila, cancelled China South flights caused me to wait outside the airport for 12 hours with no communication. I felt very isolated, and ultimately ended up travelling with the China National Volleyball Team. I arrived in Manila at 11:30PM, just in time for my 2:30AM live broadcast via Skype for the 20th JGT Microbiology Symposium back at Oglebay Park in Wheeling, WV.
I found myself totally mentally and physically unprepared for the next 48 hours, with the devastating Typhoon "Ketsana" or "Ondoy," a Katrina-like Category IV, which devastated Manila and the Philippines. Authorities estimated 750 people drowned per day, effecting half a million people.
But… not to be distracted or discouraged, I still delivered my lecture to the Manila University School of Dentistry and Dental Hygiene and was the Key Note Speaker at the 101st Annual Convention for the Philippine Dental Association entitled "Encompassing the Emerging Trends in Dentistry." The following morning was my closing speech back in the US for the 20th JGT Symposium at 3:30PM during the height of the Typhoon. It sounded like "a 1,000 car freight train" driving through my room.
I was very disappointed that I did not get to go to Batann and Carigidor (being a WWII history buff), but having no lights, electricity, water, or food, I did have my own JEEP-NEE and visited whatever I wanted in dark Manila. One location was the estate of President and Imelda Marcos (I did get to see her closet for 700 pairs of shoes!) and the famous sunset from Manila on my last day in the Philippines.

A controversial resolution, regarding university investment in Israel or firms doing business there, which was passed March 6 by the Associated Students of UC Riverside, has been rescinded.
The student government agreed on a vote of 10-2 to rescind its earlier resolution, which had drawn condemnation from the Jewish community, interim president Jane Close Conoley and even the Associated Students' president, Liam Dow. Dow had called the resolution divisive.
The original resolution called on the University of California to pull out of its investments with Israel. The resolution likened the action to anti-apartheid efforts in the 1980s that eventually led to the University of California divesting itself from companies doing business with South Africa. It called for divesting from such companies as Caterpillar, Hewlett-Packard and Raytheon.

City Information
Airport transfers
The city of Cork is quickly rising as a must-visit European hub. It's lively, cosmopolitan atmosphere and vibrant social and cultural scene are equally powerful draws. You will have the time to explore it all, including some of the surrounding sights such as Blarney Castle and its famous stone, or Cobh (formerly Queenstown) the last port visited on the Titanic's maiden voyage and its interesting Heritage Center.
Available only with the Air Inclusive Package.
Single supplement: $145
Day 1 - Depart U.S. and fly overnight to Cork, Ireland
Depart the U.S. for Ireland. The particulars of your arrival overseas are detailed with your flight itinerary.
Day 2 - Arrive in Cork
Upon arrival at Cork's Airport, claim your luggage and clear customs. If your luggage is lost, fill in a PIR form before leaving the customs area—VBT representatives are not allowed into the customs area. (Please note: Make certain that your VBT luggage tags are affixed to your bag so your VBT representative can identify you.) After exiting customs, enter the arrival hall and look for your VBT representative who will be holding a VBT sign and will make arrangements for your transfer via taxi or van to your Cork hotel (transfer time is approximately 20 minutes depending on traffic).
VBT provides you with City Information in your Final Travel Booklet that includes information and recommendations on what to see and do in Cork. You have the rest of the day to relax or to begin exploring the city.
Day 3 - Independent exploration of Cork
Enjoy your first day of independent exploration in Ireland's second largest city. The bustle of the Victorian English Market is probably the best place to experience its essence. It's an indoor covered market owned by the Cork City Council and situated on the Grand Parade, a very short walk from the hotel. After exploring the rest of the downtown area you may wish to take a short walk (just over a mile) from the city center up to the restored and atmospheric City Gaol, complete with furnished cells. Both the exhibition and multimedia display trace the lives of individual inmates imprisoned here during the 19th and 20th centuries. At the same location is the Cork Heritage Center depicting life in Cork during the 19th and early 20th centuries.
Day 4 - Independent exploration of Cork / Join VBT Air Package guests
This morning you may wish to head farther afield and visit one of the several tourist attractions in the close vicinity. Blarney Castle, about 5 miles from Cork city center, was built nearly 600 years ago by one of Ireland's greatest chieftains, Cormac MacCarthy. Over the last few hundred years, millions have flocked to Blarney, including a host of American Presidents, making it a world landmark and one of Ireland's greatest treasures. Here you will find the Blarney Stone, the legendary Stone of Eloquence, found at the top of the Tower. Legend promises that if you kiss it, you'll never again be at a loss for words.
About 14 miles away is Cobh, the last port of call for the Titanic on her maiden voyage. Here you can visit the Queenstown Story Heritage Center that tells the story of emigration from Cobh during the famine in 1845 up to the era of the great Liners in the 1950s. You can also learn the historic role Cobh harbor has played as a port.
VBT Air Package guests arrive throughout the day.

MADISON (WKOW) -- Wisconsin releases a preliminary school report card that shows most of the state's schools meet or exceed expectations.
The Department of Public Instruction released the report cards Monday morning, the first year it has done so. State Superintendent Tony Evers says, "These preliminary report cards provide valuable information for parents and educators as a foundation for helping all of our schools improve and I encourage looking beyond the score or rating. Whereas, the majority of schools meet or exceed expectations, detailed report cards provide data that will help them get even better."
School report cards are on a scale of zero to 100 and look at student achievement, student growth in reading and math, closing gaps for reading and math achievement and graduation, and on-track and post secondary readiness. Those ranges put schools into one of five ratings, from significantly exceeds expectations to fails to meet expectations. In this first year for the report cards, 85.8 percent of rated schools meet or exceed expectations. Only 76 schools in the entire state failed to meet expectations.
"We worked with parents, educators, and members of the business community as well as the District and School Accountability Design Team to develop Wisconsin's new school report cards so they would be fair, reliable, and understandable," Evers said. "The report cards reflect a better, more comprehensive way of measuring schools' effectiveness at helping our students graduate ready for college and career. The report cards will change over time as we add data to improve our accountability system, including more options for high school students to demonstrate college and career readiness."

Details of explosion near House of Government: two workers saved by miracle
8:44, — Events
23955 views
The crew of the scandalous movie project 'Abel' were made sign a confidentiality statement.
After the script of the movie had gotten on the internet, the producer Siarhiej Zhanovich forbad everyone to use a mobile phone. A script writer Andrej Kurejchyk told on his Facebook page of the atmosphere at the propagandist movie's shooting area, filmed by the order of the authorities.
He points out that he managed to speak with the crew members.
"First of all, it pleases, that they are really ashamed for what they have gotten into. According to them, many actors are ashamed too. Secondly, they all were made sign "confidentiality statements", but at the same time they forgot to conclude labour agreement with many", - Andrej Kurejchyk writes.
Members of the filming crew also told that on the day 'Abel's' script got published the movie's producer forbad them to use mobile phones. They also said told of the details of the notorious explosion that happened near the House of Government in Minsk on 1 February.
"Only yesterday the driver Aliaksandr Lazar got out of the hospital, about whom the producer Siarhiej Zhdanovich has been shamelessly lying all that time.
So this is how it all happened, according to the filming crew. Zhdanovich decided to save 80 dollars on the shift for transport. He ordered to put both properties and junk into the same Mercedes Sprinter. There were gas tanks for heat cannons. According to safety requirements, different cars should be used for that.
There were three tanks. One was taken and attached to the heat cannon. Another one was, apparently, empty. But the third almost brought to a tragedy. The properties put in the car opened the valve. Apart from lazar there were two workers in the bus. Lazar smelled gas and stopped the car. It is unknown what served as a detonator, Lazar claimed he had not smoked.
The fire came up from the tank. Two workers managed to jump out by miracle. The fire instantly spread out to the whole bus. Lazar's cooton clothes got on fire. His face and hands got burned. He jumped out of the bus. The fire on him was put off by covering him with a piece of canvas, but face and hands got seriously burned. He had a strongest barotrauma. In a couple seconds the bus burnt into ashes. Had there been three tanks, there would have been three bodies", - Andrej Kurejchyk wrote.
It came out last year that the Belarusian propaganda decided to make its own response to the 'Viva Belarus' movie.
Siarhiej Zhdanovich, known as the UNDP "Above the skies" TV show's producer, was picked by the Ministry of Culture of Belarus and Lukashenka's administration for developing the project 'Square of love' ('Abel'), which was supposed to be Belarus' official response to the 'Viva Belarus' movie by film director Krzysztof Lukaszewicz and Franak Viachorka's script.
The budget of the propaganda movie is about 2 million dollars.

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. (AP) - Tucson native Michael Thompson's hopes of qualifying for the WGC Accenture Match Play Tournament evaporated when he failed to make the cut at the Waste Management Phoenix Open at TPC Scottsdale.
Thompson, a Rincon-University High School grad ('03), shot a one-over par 72 in the second round on Friday to post a two-day score of one-under. The cut however came in at four-under.
UA grad Ricky Barnes ('03) finished plus-five missing his second cut in as many weeks.
Phil Mickelson birdied the ninth hole a day too late and missed a chance to break the PGA Tour's 36-hole scoring record when he finished with a double bogey after driving into the water.
Mickelson followed his opening 60 with a 65 on Friday to reach 17-under 125, a stroke off the tour record for the first two rounds of a tournament set by Pat Perez in the 2009 Bob Hope Classic and matched by David Toms at Colonial in 2011.
Mickelson tied the Phoenix Open record set by Mark Calcavecchia in 2001.
A day after missing a chance for a 59 when his 25-foot putt on the ninth caught the right edge, curled 180 degrees and stayed out, Mickelson hit to 4 feet and rolled the downhill putt into the center of the cup.
Bill Haas was second, four strokes back.

The Hinds County Sheriff's Department says 45 year old Eddie Crosby was in custody Wednesday night.
He turned himself in to authorities shortly after 3 PM. Eddie Crosby is charged with three counts of felony child neglect and one count of contributing to the delinquency of a minor. Investigators say he is the father of Lena Crosby.
The charges stem from a report of children found abandoned at 2845 Greenview Drive while Hinds County authorities attempted to serve an eviction notice.
24-year-old Lena Crosby remains in custody Wednesday night, charged with four counts of felony child neglect.
The sheriff's department says Lena Crosby left a 12-year-old alone to take care of a 2-year-old and a 3-month-old baby.
The conditions inside the house were awful, with sewage, human waste and roaches, but no food anywhere to be found.
Wednesday morning, the youngest child was still at UMC being treated for severe malnutrition.
The property owner, William Waltz, told WLBT Eddie Crosby worked for him cutting grass at his rental properties, and was staying in the home with the understanding he make improvements.
Waltz says Crosby stopped fixing up the place after three months, then failed to pay rent.
Lena Crosby is likely to make her initial appearance Thursday.
Eddie Crosby is being held at the Hinds County Detention Center. No bond has been set.
The seven year old child that was believed to have been missing from the residence has been located and turned over to the Department of Human Services.

Make Some Fine Feathered Friends While Bird-Watching This May At Rutgers University In Newark
Free Early-Morning Bird Walks
(NEWARK, N.J., April 21, 2010)

– Airplanes aren't the only air traffic crowding the skies over Newark; more than 100 species of nature's frequent fliers also wing it overhead.
Dr. Claus Holzapfel, an ecologist with the Department of Biological Sciences, is once again leading free bird walks at Rutgers University in Newark this May. His mission: to seek out the more than 100 species of wild birds who call Newark their transient home, perhaps even rare ones, "such as the red-tailed hawk, a large raptor which hunts our local squirrels and pigeons," according to Holzapfel.
The professor will lead the campus walks every Wednesday morning in May, beginning May 5, from 7:45 a.m. – 8:15 a.m., through May 26. The walks are open to the public, as well as faculty, students and staff; the only equipment needed is a pair of binoculars; some will be available for loan.
Bird-watchers will meet on the Norman Samuels Plaza at the entrance to Boyden Hall, 195 University Ave. (Norman Samuels Plaza is located between University Avenue on the west, Martin Luther King Boulevard on the east, Warren Street on the south and Bleeker Street on the north; for further assistance go to http://www.newark.rutgers.edu/maps/.)
Exactly what brings wild winged creatures to this urban center?
Although the campus is located in an urban environment where there aren't many trees, explains Holzapfel, the campus itself offers many green spots covered with trees, bushes and shrubs , so the campus stands out to watchful birds. "They see the green spots, and they zoom in and land here… birds are sneaking around the trees and shrubs in desperate search of food… that allows a good chance of seeing them here."
For more information on the bird-watching walks, please contact Holzapfel at 973/353-5385 or visit the website: http://newarkbioweb.rutgers.edu/Holzapfel%20Lab/Main%20Pages/BirdsOnCamp...
