March Madness 2.0: Free Apps to Upgrade The Experience
March Madness has become more accessible and interactive than ever before. Traditionally, the annual month-long overdose of hoops evokes an emotionally confusing mix of excitement and schedule conflicts. Despite the enthusiasm surrounding the basketball tournament, it often results in a workday spent helplessly aware that a buffet of afternoon games are set to tip off. Now, sports fans are able to track the tournament in a variety of ways, thanks to multimedia efforts that contribute to the creation of various apps that allow for different levels of fan participation and provisioning for the ensuing madness.
NCAA March Madness Live
Last year users had to pay $3.99 for access to live games from computers and mobile devices. Now it's free! Once logged in, users have the ability to watch games and replays, or review the official bracket. There's also a "Boss Button" that allows users to hide their screen, just in case management happens to pay you a visit while you're checking in on the game.
The only caveat is that users are required to log in through their cable TV service provider in order to access live games. However, most of the major cable companies such as Time Warner, Verizon FiOS and Xfinity are available.
The service also features free smartphone and tablet apps for Apple iOS and Google Android, in case you're on the go.
ESPN Bracket Bound 2013
Many fans look forward to March Madness for their opportunity to fill out their own bracket. The Bracket Bound app from ESPN lets users create and share up to 10 brackets. Fans can create new groups and compare brackets with friends, or join established communities. This application also features live scores, personal "My Teams" and "My Games" sections, as well as video breakdowns and Bracketology write-ups from ESPN's college basketball analysts.
College Basketball STATSHEET
Part of the madness involves fan debates and arguments. Often the individual theories are based on the numbers. Followers take pride in exercising their statistical and analytical skills to predict the outcomes. STATSHEET is available as a database of over two billion statistics, offering insights and proprietary metrics surrounding the entire tournament. The app offers the full roster for every NCAA basketball team, in addition to full, sortable player stats. Metrics, such as StatRank, rank every player and team, and the StatRank app also gives stat-based grades for each game, for every player.
Grub Hub
Proper pregame mental preparations are a good excuse for some shameless self-indulgence. Often, this takes the form of a giant basket of saucy wings, or a Jenga tower of cheese sticks. GrubHub is one of the best food delivery apps out there, and it's free to use. Users can create online accounts and save payment information to make the process of ordering food even easier. The app allows people to search by location, restaurant, or cuisine, and also includes special instructions with orders.
Sports Bar Finder
It's completely okay to get swept up in the excitement. A good way to capitalize on that energy is to locate an enthusiastic crowd. For those searching for the best place to catch March Madness games, Sports Bar Finder, by DIRECTV, may be of some assistance. The app uses GPS to find nearby bars that offer DIRECTV sports programming. This application allows users to sort by sports programming packages to see which locations may be offering the game you're looking for. It also offers directions to locations along with an email invitation feature, enabling users to invite other people to join in the fun.

I would like to thank the Barnstaple branch of the Royal British Legion for the wonderful Burns Night they put on in aid of Legion funds.
Having moved down here after my retirement from the armed forces I was delighted to find the Legion, and the comradeship and support it offers, so I decided to attend this night to meet new people.
Having been a member of HM forces for nearly 30 years I was blown away by the profesionalism of this event – it was like stepping back into Scotland.
I had assumed that a professional catering company had done the event but I was blown away to discover that it was catered for by a 16-year-old-girl and her mother, who I believe is the events organiser.
It was first class and the Legion must be very proud to have them on their team.
The food was beautifully delivered and I enjoyed the fact that they had the army cadet force there to assist. It is not often you see a Legion pull off big events, but this was superb in the first degree.
I met some lovely Devonians with whom I hope to catch up again, so therefore my transition into Civvy Street has been helped by this wonderful organisation.

TOWSON, Md. (AP) -- A man convicted of killing a teenager with a hatchet has been sentenced to life in prison.
Thirty-seven-year-old Larry Eugene Horton was sentenced Monday in Baltimore County Circuit Court. WMAR-TV reports (http://bit.ly/11SS2bo) that he had been convicted of first-degree murder in the October 2011 death of 18-year-old Ryan Jackson.
Jackson was last seen walking into Horton's house. Blood was found in the house and a bloody hatchet was found in the garbage.
Jackson's body was found in an abandoned field in Baltimore. It was covered with hatchet wounds.

ISP: Trucker was driving under influence of cocaine
A Huber Heights, Ohio, trucker was cited on Monday for operating while under
the influence of a controlled substance, after he pulled to the shoulder of
I-65 in Jasper County and requested medical assistance, the Indiana State
Police said.
According to police, Johnny D. Turner, 36, was northbound on I-65 when he
called for help, reporting trouble breathing, three miles south of the
Demotte/Roselawn exit.
EMS personnel and a trooper responded and Turner was given medical treatment
at the scene, police said.
"Further investigation determined that Turner was allegedly under the
influence of a narcotic drug," police said. "A field-test was conducted on a
substance in Turner's possession that tested positive for cocaine."
Turner was transported to Jasper County Hospital in Rensselaer for
treatment. He was issued a citation for operating while under the influence
of a controlled substance, possession of cocaine, and possession of
paraphernalia, police said. Turner was also placed out of service for being
under the influence and for log book and equipment violations, police said.
Turner was driving for Liberty Transportation of Greensburg, Pa., and
hauling auto parts.

|A Coincidence Theorem for Holomorphic Maps to $G/P$
The purpose of this note is to extend to an arbitrary generalized Hopf and Calabi-Eckmann manifold the following result of Kalyan Mukherjea: Let $V_n = \mathbb{S}^{2n+1} \times \mathbb{S}^{2n+1}$ denote a Calabi-Eckmann manifold. If $f,g \colon V_n \longrightarrow \mathbb{P}^n$ are any two holomorphic maps, at least one of them being non-constant, then there exists a coincidence: $f(x)=g(x)$ for some $x\in V_n$. Our proof involves a coincidence theorem for holomorphic maps to complex projective varieties of the form $G/P$ where $G$ is complex simple algebraic group and $P\subset G$ is a maximal parabolic subgroup, where one of the maps is dominant.

|Un lemme de Schwarz pour les boules-unités ouvertes
Let $B_1$ and $B_2$ be the open unit balls of ${\bbd C}^{n_1}$ and ${\bbd C}^{n_2}$ for the norms $\Vert\,{.}\,\Vert_1$ and $\Vert\,{.}\, \Vert_2$. Let $f \colon B_1 \rightarrow B_2$ be a holomorphic mapping such that $f(0)=0$. It is well known that, for every $z \in B_1$, $\Vert f(z)\Vert_2 \leq \Vert z \Vert_1$, and $\Vert f'(0)\Vert \leq 1$. In this paper, I prove the converse of this result. Let $f \colon B_1 \rightarrow B_2$ be a holomorphic mapping such that $f'(0)$ is an isometry. If $B_2$ is strictly convex, I prove that $f(0) =0$ and that $f$ is linear. I also define the rank of a point $x$ belonging to the boundary of $B_1$ or $B_2$. Under some hypotheses on the ranks, I prove that a holomorphic mapping such that $f(0) = 0$ and that $f'(0)$ is an isometry is linear.

During the takeoff roll, the airplane's main landing gear partially retracted and the nose landing gear collapsed completely. The airplane's left wing impacted the ground, resulting in structural damage. The airplane came to rest in an upright position on the runway and the pilot and the airplane's mechanic were able to exit the airplane unassisted. Following the accident, an examination of the landing gear revealed that the mechanic had wired the landing gear squat switch incorrectly, resulting in a retraction of the landing gear once the landing strut was extended.
The National Transportation Safety Board determines the probable cause(s) of this accident to be:

Notorious B.I.G.'s Autopsy Report Released; Family Responds
Obtained by TMZ.com this week, after being sealed for over 15 years, the autopsy report for the late Notorious B.I.G. reveals how many times he was shot and how he died.
As many know by now, the rapper born Christopher Wallace was shot in a drive-by shooting in 1997. After the incident, he was taken to Cedars-Sinai Hospital for an emergency thoracotomy but was pronounced dead at March 9 at 1:15 a.m.
Beyond this, the report indicates the rapper was clean of alcohol and drugs, and the first three bullets were not fatal. Specifically, the first hit his forearm and traveled down to his wrist; the second went through his back, missing vital organs, to his left shoulder; the third hit his left outer thigh and went through to his inner left thigh. The fourth, however, went through his right hip, passing through several vital organs – colon, liver, heart, and upper lobe of his left lung.
On Friday, Perry Sanders, Jr., the attorney for the rapper's family, admitted he was unaware the report was being released and mentioned he finds it ridiculous that arrests have not been made in this case. He told the press: "I've been advised by the homicide detective that was in charge of the investigation and is no longer with the department that the crime has been solved for several years now. This was confirmed by at least one other person who is currently on the force, and it is ridiculous that an arrest has not been made for a crime that's allegedly been solved for several years."

Sen. Jim Bunning Sees Dead Supreme Court Justices
Kentucky's junior senator took the time this past weekend to drive an obsidian dagger into a live goat so that he might pull forth the sacrificial beast's steaming entrails and prognosticate the future of the U.S. Supreme Court…
U.S. Sen. Jim Bunning predicted over the weekend that U.S. Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg would likely be dead from pancreatic cancer within nine months.
Senator, please tell us, though. Will Justice Ginsburg at least be killed by the good kind of cancer that you get better from?
"Bad cancer. The kind that you don't get better from," he told a crowd of about 100 at the old State Theater.
The holy man then went on to predict that Barack Obama's stimulus package would drive the nation further into debt before asking his stunned congregation for some tithings…
"I'm not only asking for your support, but if you have a $25 check somewhere, or whatever, you can send it, I'll cash it," he told the group.
He then finished up his rites by placing a hex…
on National Republican Senatorial Committee chairman John Cornyn of Texas… for not using Senatorial committee funds to help him and conservative Sens. Jim DeMint of South Carolina, Tom Coburn of Oklahoma and David Vitter of Louisiana."

UPDATED Wednesday, October 9, 2013 --- 4:51 p.m.
ALLEN PARK, Mich. (AP) -- Detroit Lions center Dominic Raiola says his remarks to the University of Wisconsin band didn't include a homophobic slur.
Raiola declined to tell reporters Wednesday what he said, adding there's no video or audio evidence.
He apologized in a statement Tuesday, saying he made inappropriate remarks to band members Sunday at Green Bay, where the Wisconsin band performed.
The Lions have said Raiola called band director Michael Leckrone to apologize for his actions and to say he was going to make a "significant donation" to support the band. Raiola declined to say how much money he would donate.
Lions President Tom Lewan said the team would not discipline Raiola because of his response. The NFL has decided it will not issue additional discipline.
UPDATED Tuesday, October 8, 2013 --- 1:06 p.m.
The Detroit Lions have sent the following statements:
Allen Park, Mich.— Earlier this afternoon, Lions C Dominic Raiola had a phone conversation with Michael Leckrone, Director of the University of Wisconsin Marching Band. Raiola apologized to Leckrone for his actions on Sunday that involved band members and also indicated that he was making a significant donation to The Marching Band Fund, which supports Wisconsin's Marching Band.
"My interaction with the Wisconsin Marching Band was inappropriate. I apologize to those I offended along with all of the members of Wisconsin's Marching Band.
"I also apologize to the Lions' organization and my teammates. I understand the standards to which we should conduct ourselves, and my actions Sunday fell dramatically short of those standards."
"After investigating the matter and discussing Sunday's events with Dominic, we are pleased that he has taken ownership of his actions and admitted those actions were wrong and unacceptable.
"As we said yesterday, his actions were not reflective of the standard of behavior that we expect from any player or any member of our organization.
"We are also pleased that he is supporting his apology with a significant donation to the Wisconsin Marching Band Fund.
"Due to Dominic's sincere and appropriate response, there will be no additional disciplinary action by the team."
UPDATED Monday, October 7, 2013 --- 3:54 p.m.
Lori Berquam, vice provost for student life and dean of students at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, and Mike Leckrone, director of the UW Marching Band, have issued the following statement:
"We were dismayed to hear reports of unprofessional and personal verbal attacks by a Detroit Lions player towards members of the University of Wisconsin Marching Band before the Packers vs. Lions game at Lambeau Field on Sunday, Oct. 6.
"Earlier today, we received a call from Lions president Tom Lewand. He has apologized for the actions of his player and has assured us that further discussion will take place. We appreciate the Lions' efforts to investigate this further and are grateful to Mr. Lewand for his concern.
"Special opportunities such as playing before a Packers game are highlights for our band members: something they look forward to, and that we hope they will remember with pride. We are proud of the way members of the UW Band have brought this matter to our attention, and how they kept their focus on providing a great experience for the fans at Lambeau Field."
Posted Monday, October 7, 2013 --- 2:02 p.m.
From our news partner, WLUK in Green Bay:
GREEN BAY - The Detroit Lions are investigating after a player was accused of making vulgar comments to members of the University of Wisconsin Marching Band before and during Sunday's Lions-Packers game at Lambeau Field.
According to reports, including a Facebook post by a band member, Lions center Dominic Raiola shouted at band members, using profane words to insult some of the musicians' weights and their sexuality.
"Those reports are extremely inconsistent with the standard of behavior we expect from our players and from every member of our organization," read a statement from the Lions organization. "We currently are gathering more information and will respond further when appropriate."
According to an article on the team's website, Raiola has been in trouble in the past for his conduct toward fans. In 2010, the team fined him $15,000 for using obscene words and a hand gesture toward a fan in Miami. Two years earlier, he was fined $7,500 for inappropriate conduct toward fans during a loss to the Minnesota Vikings in Detroit.
Raiola's brother, Donovan, went to UW-Madison and played football for the Badgers.
The Wisconsin Band traditionally performs at one Packers home game per season. In 2004, the band's tuba section received national attention when it teased injured Vikings receiver Randy Moss with a message spelled out on the instruments' bells.
From our news partner, WITI in Milwaukee:
GREEN BAY (WITI) — NFL blogger Tom Melton has written a blog that indicates Detroit Lions center Dominic Raiola spewed hate speech at some members of the University of Wisconsin marching band prior to Sunday's game at Lambeau Field.
According to the blog, "Raiola and his teammates were engaged in their pregame warm-ups on the field near the goal line when he turned around and called him and the other tubas "Fat mother f**kers" and told them that "they sucked." According to that tuba player no one in the band had done anything to provoke him, and no other band members I spoke with witnessed anything that could have provoked Raiola."
The Detroit Lions issued the following statements in relation to this reported incident.
"We are aware of the reports involving Dominic Raiola and the University of Wisconsin Marching Band.
"Those reports are extremely inconsistent with the standard of behavior we expect from our players and from every member of our organization.
"We currently are gathering more information and will respond further when appropriate."
Melton said towards the end of his post, "It is worth noting that while Raiola's comments were completely uncalled for, a band member confirmed to me that Lions safety Louis Delmas apologized to him and other members of the band for Raiola's actions and assured them that he had spoken with him about it."

The Pixar Theory: Every Character Lives in the Same Universe
Jon Negroni spent one year untangling the secret world hidden deep within Pixar films. What he found was a universe to which every Pixar character connects.
Jon Negroni spent one year untangling the secret world hidden deep within Pixar films. What he found was a universe to which every Pixar character connects.
Monsters University scared its way into theaters this weekend. In conjunction with the movie's theatrical release, Disney released a new mobile app for iOS and Android that lets you keep the fun going once you head home from seeing the movie. Priced at $0.99, the app comes with two mini games and three characters to play with: Mike, Sully and Squishy. Over time, Disney plans to update the game with new mini games, as well as new characters and ways to play.
Just in time for Mother's Day, the team at Disney/Pixar have put together a new teaser for the upcoming Monsters University. The teaser trailer is just the latest in a string of marketing efforts produced by Disney and Pixar for the film. A sequel to 2001's Monsters, Inc., the film goes back to how Sulley and Mike became best friends in college.
It's almost that time of year again -- when Pixar releases its annual movie, and kids and adults alike flock to the multiplex to see if the company that revolutionized animation can do it again. This time it's Monsters University, which opens June 21. Even on the rare occasion that a Pixar movie is a critical dud (we're looking at you, Cars 2), we're still curious enough to see them in droves. Every one of the California studio's 13 films has found itself the top film in the U.S.
The college admission website for Monsters University was defaced by rival school Fear Tech on Monday -- yes, on April Fools' Day. The "prank" on the fictitious site adds more marketing fuel to Disney Pixar's viral ad campaign for its Monsters University movie. Monsters University, the prequel to the 2001's Monsters, Inc. flick, comes out June 21. Playing off of the movie's name, Disney Pixar created MonstersUniversity.com/edu in 2012.
Days after Pixar released a new trailer for its hotly anticipated flick Monsters University, fans are accusing the animation studio of overlooking a glaring plot inconsistency. The computer-animated film is a prequel to 2001's Monsters, Inc. During a conversation between protagonists Mike and Sulley in the original, the former says, "You've been jealous of my good looks since the fourth grade, pal." However, Monsters University portrays the two best friends as having met at college.
Disney Pixar unleashed a new college-inspired ad campaign this week for "Monsters University," the upcoming prequel to 2001's "Monsters, Inc."
Let's just tell it like it is: we're total Pixar fanboys, and we're pretty sure you are too. Looking for something to whet the palate before hitting up the opening weekend of Brave? Or did you already catch Pixar's latest flick and are just jonesing for more animated goodness? Either way, we think you're going to enjoy these top 10 most-shared Disney Pixar videos. Our friends at Unruly Media rounded up the Disney Pixar trailers, teasers and remixes that have generated major buzz on the web.
As Pixar and Disney prepare to unleash Brave on the world, the studio is giving fans not one but four new teasers for Monsters University. Leave it to Pixar to take full advantage of its ultra-nostalgic audience. We ate it up with Toy Story 3, and now the animation powerhouse is at it again with a prequel to Monsters, Inc.. It's been over a decade since we fell in love with the cuddly scare experts at Monsters, Inc.

People who experience serious brain injuries may have movement problems, emotional problems, thinking and memory problems, language problems, pain or numbness, or other limitations. Many people with brain injuries have challenges returning to independent living, work or school. Mayo Clinic's brain rehabilitation team works to meet the ongoing needs of people with brain injuries and help them become as independent as possible.
The most common way brain function is altered by injury or disease is after a stroke, which may be due to lack of blood flow to your brain or bleeding in your brain caused by a ruptured brain aneurysm. More than 60 percent of people treated in Mayo Clinic's brain rehabilitation program have had strokes. Other common causes of brain dysfunction include brain tumors and traumatic brain injuries, which are caused by a severe, sudden blow to your head or body.
Mayo Clinic doctors trained in physical medicine and rehabilitation and other staff offer a full range of brain rehabilitation treatment options for you, from intensive hospital care through outpatient and community-based services.
Mayo Clinic doctors and other staff trained in brain rehabilitation become involved in providing and coordinating your care as soon as you arrive at the hospital. They work closely with the hospital treatment team, initiating your rehabilitation assessment and treatment while closely monitoring your progress and planning for the next step. Brain rehabilitation specialists play a central role in teaching you and your family about your condition.
If you need further rehabilitation treatment after your condition has stabilized, you'll be admitted to the state-of-the-art inpatient brain rehabilitation unit at Mayo Clinic Hospital, Saint Marys Campus in Rochester, Minn. Rooms, therapy and social areas in the unit are designed to provide you and your family with a comfortable atmosphere. Each room has plenty of space to accommodate wheelchairs and other equipment.
The unit has a patio for easy access to the outdoors, a lounge area and laundry facilities. A specially designed apartment is available where you can practice and improve daily living skills.
In inpatient rehabilitation, your treatment team will help you to transition to living independently at home or in another type of independent living facility. Your team will work with you to help improve physical, mental and behavioral functioning. Your therapy and treatment will depend on your individual needs. Brain rehabilitation specialists will work with you and your family to discuss treatment goals and determine ways to meet these goals.
Outpatient rehabilitation focuses on helping you improve your physical, mental and behavioral functioning so that you can live and work as independently as possible after your condition has stabilized.
You'll be evaluated by staff in the Brain Rehabilitation Clinic at Mayo Clinic in Minnesota to determine which outpatient program or combination of treatments most appropriately meets your needs. If you need a new-patient evaluation, ask your doctor to make a referral to Mayo Clinic. An evaluation team reviews referrals prior to your evaluation to ensure that the appropriate doctors and staff are involved.
Your evaluation may include referrals to any member of the brain rehabilitation team. Your treatment team may include doctors trained in physical medicine and rehabilitation, physical and occupational therapists, and other specialists. Treatment team members work with you and your family to establish your treatment start date, create your treatment goals and determine ways for you to meet those goals. The team meets regularly to monitor your treatment and progress.
Mayo Clinic staff members can also help you find local housing, transportation and financial assistance for medical expenses. The rehabilitation nurse, neuropsychologist, clinical social worker and other specialists are available to provide family education and support. Your family and friends are encouraged to participate in many program activities.
The Brain Rehabilitation Clinic offers several outpatient programs, including:
Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minn., ranks #1 for neurology and neurosurgery in the U.S. News & World Report Best Hospitals rankings. Mayo Clinic in Scottsdale, Ariz., is ranked among the Best Hospitals for neurology and neurosurgery, and Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville, Fla., is ranked high performing for neurology and neurosurgery by U.S. News & World Report. Mayo Clinic also ranks among the Best Children's Hospitals for neurology and neurosurgery.
At Mayo Clinic, we assemble a team of specialists who take the time to listen and thoroughly understand your health issues and concerns. We tailor the care you receive to your personal health care needs. You can trust our specialists to collaborate and offer you the best possible outcomes, safety and service.
Mayo Clinic is a not-for-profit medical institution that reinvests all earnings into improving medical practice, research and education. We're constantly involved in innovation and medical research, finding solutions to improve your care and quality of life. Your doctor or someone on your medical team is likely involved in research related to your condition.
Our patients tell us that the quality of their interactions, our attention to detail and the efficiency of their visits mean health care — and trusted answers — like they've never experienced.

Brain rehabilitation researchers at Mayo Clinic in Minnesota are actively involved in basic science and clinical studies to better understand:
Researchers also study stroke rehabilitation, long-term outcomes of traumatic brain injuries and many other areas of brain rehabilitation. Read more about brain-rehabilitation research.
The Mayo Clinic Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) Model research program is one of 16 medical research programs in the United States involved in a research consortium funded by the National Institute on Disability and Rehabilitation Research. The Mayo Clinic TBI Model program studies new ways to advance medical services for people with traumatic brain injuries. Model systems are funded based on their ability to provide comprehensive, coordinated care. The program also contributes data to a large database that allows for long-term collaborative research studies of outcomes.
Using this database, Mayo researchers have studied clinical characteristics of patients to predict activity limitation, independent living and productive activity after injury and inpatient rehabilitation. Researchers are assessing the course of long-term recovery and outcomes after a traumatic brain injury to develop and identify innovative services that most appropriately meet people's needs and allow them to reintegrate into their communities. In collaboration with other model systems, Mayo Clinic has studied headaches and issues related to sexuality after TBI, sharing these research findings with brain injury rehabilitation programs across the country.
Researchers are studying the use of telerehabilitation, a type of rehabilitation using phone and computer technology, for people who don't have access to rehabilitation treatment in their communities. Mayo Clinic researchers are studying the benefits of technology in providing cognitive rehabilitation in people with traumatic and nontraumatic brain injuries. Other research includes studying the impact of telerehabilitation-based treatment on individuals' function, community involvement and treatment satisfaction.
Your ability to advocate for your own needs after a traumatic brain injury is an important part of your recovery and rehabilitation. The Midwest Advocacy Project, a clinical trial taking place in the community, is studying the most effective ways for people and their families to develop advocacy skills. Read more about Mayo's research in enhancing advocacy in patients who have traumatic brain injuries.

If the product is approved, Corcept will handle sales, marketing, and distribution in the United States, hiring about 35 sales
reps to focus on the 300 or so hospitals that offer ECT. It also plans to work with FDA to closely monitor how the drug is
Giving psychiatric patients mifepristone isn't controversial in and of itself. Neither men nor women experienced any reproductive
side effects in a study of 250 patients, Kurland notes. One of Corlux's trials even included a nun, he adds. "People get it—you
don't ban scalpels because they can be used to kill people." But like Mifeprex, Corlux would be administered under observed
dosing guidelines, and women would be required to fail a pregnancy test before receiving it. As Kurland points out: "We don't
want to be—even inadvertently—in the abortion business."
Yet controlled distribution could prove to be an advantage to Corcept, because it discourages generic competition, notes
Cortisol, moreover, doesn't just play a role in stress. It also acts as an insulin sensitizer. In animal studies, rats that
were given Corlux in combination with the antipsychotic drug Zyprexa (olanzapine) were able to avoid the weight gain that
is a common side effect of that product. They also lost weight that they had put on after taking a course of standalone Zyprexa.
Eli Lilly, Zyprexa's manufacturer, is now partnering with Corcept to fund a proof-of-concept study that would test whether
it's possible to develop an antipsychotic that avoids severe weight gain. Patients on antipsychotics gain an average of two
pounds a week—worrisome enough for FDA to require a black-box warning about diabetes on package labels. Corcept also counts
five additional companies that market antipsychotics containing the same warning.
Eli Lilly has no intention of marketing Corlux as a concomitant therapy to Zyprexa. Rather, the study will help the company
understand whether GR2 antagonists can mitigate weight gain, which might not even be caused by the drug itself, notes Carole
Puls, a spokeswoman at Eli Lilly. "There's been no research that draws any conclusion in that regard," she says. "We just
want to understand the how and why, and how we can lessen this [side effect] in the future. You want to make sure you're treating
the patient holistically."
The results could also show that there is life for Corcept beyond Corlux's Phase III results. The financial future of a still-productless
company is always uncertain—but, confident, Corcept will seek funding to continue trials in 2007. And the company's researchers
plan to pursue additional proof-of-concept studies, to move forward the next generation of pre-clinical compounds.
Sanchez wants to see more evidence beyond rat studies—but is cautiously optimistic about Corcept's future prospects. "You
shouldn't assign too many expectations until there's more clinical data," he says. "But if it's positive, it's huge."

Michael J. LeclercDirector of Special Projects
I spent part of my holiday weekend a few days ago enjoying another trip to western Massachusetts. I went to a memorial concert for my college band director. It was a great opportunity to hear good music, see good friends, and get a sneak peak at the new George N. Parks Minuteman Marching Band in the final phases of construction. Of course, as a genealogist, a cemetery visit was also in order, to visit George's grave. One of my friends joined me, along with her husband. Our excursion turned into a learning experience for friends, and a gentle reminder to this genealogist.
Neither of us had been to the cemetery before. Although a Baptist, George was buried in St. Brigid's Catholic Cemetery because of its location on the edge of the UMass campus, about a quarter-mile from the football stadium. It is a small cemetery, with about 1,500-1,750 plots in 10 sections (you can see a map on the St. Brigid website) so I was confident about locating the grave, even without an exact location. This is where George's reminders to me kicked in.
Reminder Number 1: How Reliable is Your Information?
Both my friend Dawn and I remembered another friend posting an image of a dark gravestone (either dark grey or black) on Facebook. She also remembered having been told that he was near the gate to the cemetery. Besides the main entrance, there were two other gates. We drove in and started looking out the car windows for a dark stone near one of the entrances. There were only a few, but none belonged to George.
We drove out and back in to make another loop. At this point I jumped out of the car to examine some stones in the middle of the sections. Still nothing. Dawn joined me on the ground while her husband continued driving. We started at the first rows of stones in the front sections. Her section (St. Patrick on the map) had a few new burials with no markers before the first row of stones. We walked from the front of the cemetery all the way to the back, reading every stone. We also checked the sections on the side. No stones bore the name Parks.
I explained to her that I would be in big trouble back at work when I told them I couldn't find a grave marker in such a small cemetery and she laughed. At this point I admitted defeat. We climbed back into the car and went to join friends for dinner.
Sometimes the information you are confident about may not be quite accurate.
Reminder Number 2: Verify Your Information With Multiple Sources
We met a group at the restaurant and the conversation quickly turned to war stories about our days in the band. At one point, Dawn turned to Kerstin and told her about our cemetery adventure, to which Kerstin responded "I can show you where he is. He doesn't have a stone yet. It just has a small marker the funeral home put in when he was buried." The stone Dawn and I both remembered seeing in a post was not the actual marker for George's grave.
One consultation with a second source told us that our previous information was incorrect, which is why we had so much difficulty.
Reminder 3: Never Assume
After dinner we piled into the cars and drove back to the cemetery, our group having grown by a few more people. We pulled into the main entrance and drove around the U-shaped drive up the second entrance (where Dawn and I had started walking). Kerstin led us right past the first row of monuments to one of the newer graves. There he was. The small white marker, in the shape of a cross, had his name, birth date, and death date, and was surrounded with fresh flowers. It was amazing to me that it had survived the winter.
Our assumption that the grave had to be marked caused us to miss the actual grave, which both Dawn and I walked past. When you hit a brick wall, always go back and double-check your assumptions.
Other visitors had been there, leaving mementos such as poker chips (which George used to teach us our formations in band). I suggested that for homecoming we place a line of poker chips from the gate to the grave, so visitors would be able to easily find him. I also wondered if the gravestone, when it went in, would be one of those large round reddish ones. That would be like a giant poker chip, and any bando visiting the cemetery would find him in an instant.
Our small group stood around the grave. They watched me take photographs (in some pretty interesting positions). I explained that George was buried backwards from the rest of the burials in that row. He was buried with his feet at the end where the gravestone will go, so that he would face the stadium and always be watching his band. We stood around, laughed and told stories of getting arrested (and almost getting arrested) for band performances — when planning to bring several hundred musicians to play for the public, don't forget to get your performance permit from the city of Boston.
On the road back to Boston, I thought about George and how he is still teaching me lessons (as well as reminding me of those lessons I seem to forget from time to time). I was also very grateful to Kerstin for saving me from going home and telling my colleagues how I couldn't find a new gravestone in such a small cemetery! Good times with good friends, and a bit of genealogy thrown in, who could ask for a better day? Thanks, George.

- Good foodJerryDined on 11/23/2014I have been a regular at PGC since they opened and am always pleased with their food. Servers are efficient but generally on the curt side...nevertheless, I go for the food not to be entertained.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Very mediocreOpenTable Diner Since 2010VIPDined on 11/19/2014Service was fine . Food was very overpriced. I had the chicken breast. Husband had burger. You can get better food at other places for much less. Both dishes were just OK.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2013Dined on 11/18/2014Went this time for a business meeting. They accomodated my request for a corner table away from the door and noise. Service was respectful of the meetingSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great as alwaysTomKDined on 11/12/2014My favorite restaurant even on Wednesday when it is packed because of their two for one hamburger deal. Make a reservation days in advance for a Wednesday.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Prairie Grass dinnerdiner1Dined on 11/9/2014Ambiance was very poor. Noisy, bare tables, unappealing decor. Food was good. Service as not bad, but not good. Might work for lunch, but we will not be back for dinner.Special Features:
- Kids happy. Daddy happy!MitchVIPDined on 11/8/2014Kids always love this place. Food is great and comfortable surroundings. The platter to start for kids sets tone. Apples,carrots,cheese,cucumbers and a glazed banana. With them happy parents can then enjoy some great food alsoSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- skimom4Dined on 11/8/2014the food and service were very good. we all liked our meal, and the child's menu worked. we did not have any complaints, and will come again.Special Features:
- Terrible, Horrible ServiceRJ1234Dined on 11/7/2014We were ignored. There were four of us, we were nice, orderly and on time for our reservation. The table next to us seated after us was on their main course before we had our first. After 35 minutes without any response after multiple requests to other wait staff to find our waiter so we could have our order taken we alerted the hostess. Ten minutes later our waiter showed up. We had to ask for him to be found twice more. Our dinner was 2 1/2 hours because he was MIA. He forgot multiple drink orders, too. It was awful and unpleasant and I cannot recommend this restaurant.
- Best Farm to Table MenuJB22Dined on 11/7/2014This restaurant is hands down the best at providing a seasonal menu with simple foods from select purveyors prepared well. My extended family likes to dine together here, where there is something on the menu for everyone, including the kids.Special Features:
- Not that impressedShanghaiMomDined on 11/6/2014For a farm-to-table restaurant, I expected more organic offerings and more specifics about where various food items were from. My mom and I shared the baby kale/arugula salad, which was just ok. She had the crispy chicken and said it was very good. I had the sirloin burger with no bun, and it was exceptionally good. All portions were large. This is a pricey place, but doesn't look it. We ordered lower priced menu items, so with only one glass of wine, no dessert, and shared salad, total with tip was $75. It was also incredibly noisy - basically every surface in the room is hard. The fireplace is a big plus re good ambiance - otherwise it's not that great. I wanted to love this restaurant - just didn't work for me.Special Features:
- ald56VIPDined on 11/6/2014Prairie Grass Cafe has been a go to place for any occasion I can think of whether it is for birthdays or brunch. The service and waitstaff are outstanding. The menu is varied and fresh always. We are always greeted warmly and they are always there to please. One year after my mother passed we decided to go to PG for Thanksgiving. We of course were very sad and quite. The food and ambiance was comforting and made us feel like family . We adore PG , and the cafe is always on our list of favorite places to go. I would rate everything about Prairie Grass Cafe to be outstanding and a asset to North Shore dining.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Almost ThereDickieDined on 11/2/2014Your restaurant came recommended to us from by a friend. The entrance way was nice. When we first walked in, the main dining room was quiet noisy. We asked for a quiet table and were brought to a smaller room off the main dining area. The room was nice, but could have had better ambiance, like flowers and a candle on table, and softer lighting. The food was tasty but extremely small portions. I always like to eat half of my dinner and bring the other half home for another meal. Not that night. We all finished every bit of food on our plates. We even had to order salads for everyone. It was tasty, but need more.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2007VIPDined on 10/30/2014I wasn't happy with my seared Ahi tuna. It was stringy.
- My Go To local lunch placeSeasaidhVIPDined on 10/29/2014I always love their burger-- one of the best in Chicago area. Service was great too. A reliable option always. Also, their whitefish is really good. And very tempting salads.Special Features:
- Birthday LunchJudyDined on 10/27/2014I took my cousin there for a Birthday lunch. We had never been there before and were quite impressed with the menu and service. We both ordered salads and they were great. I would surely come back and try this restaurant for dinner.Special Features:
- Always a good mealMickeyBDined on 10/23/2014Prairie Grass has a nice selection of tasty food; hamburger is a standout but other choices are delicious as well. Noise level is OK but bearable.Special Features:
- 2 for 1 has changed2for1dealDined on 10/22/2014On Wednesday nights, you can their sirloin steak burger on BOGO free. Great for a couple who like their steakburgers. Each person must now purchase a drink in order to get the 2 for 1 deal. Any drink; it does have to be an alcoholic beverage. It's still a good deal.Special Features:
- TwodogmomTwodogmomDined on 10/21/2014The food is consistently good and service attentive. Wine list was very nice although expensive. Always enjoy a great restaurant close to home!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Always a good dining experienceDougZDined on 10/19/2014Food is good and consistent. The place was bustling on a Sunday night so it must be doing something right.Special Features:
- Anne54VIPDined on 10/18/2014I ordered the skirt steak. It was very good. Great restaurant!Special Features:
- GreatPinkyVIPDined on 10/15/2014We really enjoy eating here, its always delicious and we have never been disappointed. The food is always delicious , and the servers are very efficent and pleasant . We all enjoyed it here, will definitly return in the near future.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- great specialsAyseDined on 10/12/2014I recommend you to try egg benedicts and crepes. Warm cinnamon and pecan cake is great to shareSpecial Features:
- Always deliciousFoodieinprDined on 10/10/2014I have never had a bad meal or poor service at Prairie Grass. I had the vegetarian plate and it was delicious. My husband had the strip steak and he too was quite happy with his meal. The pear/almond cake was wonderful, would have been fantastic with some vanilla ice cream on the side. Our server was very attentive. Wonderful place.Special Features:
- basic, reliable, always a pleasureWilmetteBoxerDined on 10/10/2014We've had lunch and dinner here for years and never been disappointed. The menu changes frequently but retains some excellent favorites such as Parmesan-crusted tilapia. Ham and cheese sandwich with fig compote is another standout. Seasonal desserts are a strong point. Servers are informed, friendly, prompt, but we never feel rushed. We long for more of the corn fritters and the pate with apples and port. We always leave happy and always come back.Special Features:
- CarololaDined on 10/7/2014Service and food was very good. Drinks such as coffee was a little pricey. $3.95 is ridiculous. Birthday dessert for my friend was not complimentary. Usually birthday celebration desserts are. Server was delightful! Fast and very efficient.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Restaurant is decliningOpenTable Diner Since 2004Dined on 10/5/2014Wee've gone to Prarie Grass numerous times over the years. The restaurant is looking worn down--the tables have a gummy feel and bare spots where plates are placed. This is the second time I've been here recently where one of our biggest complaints is the lighting--the lighting is so bright, it feels like one is eating dinner in a fast/casual/delicatessen, not at all consistent with their menu and decor. The noise level is unpleasant---it's not loud and festive like you'd hear in a bustling restaurant which I'd like, rather i the restaurant has no soft surfaces so all the noise and conversations sound harsh and intrusive. The brussel sprouts were burned--clearly pre-cooked and then re-fried to serve. Ugh. Won't go back till they improveSpecial Features:
- Best Burger in Chicago is TrueOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 10/4/2014Great service, friendly staff, best burger I've ever hadSpecial Features:
- Best BurgerfrankVIPDined on 10/1/2014Their Wed. night hamburger deal is great, best burger in town.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- One Of Our FavoritesGoBoldlyDined on 9/26/2014We love Prairie Grass Cafe! We have eaten there many times and have never been disappointed. The food and service are consistently good. The waitstaff is very well trained and are customer-centered. We've eaten here for brunch on the weekends, lunch, and dinner and have tried many of the items on the menu. It is so good! One big draw about the food is it is farm to table and sustainable, something that we really admire. Be sure to give Prairie Grass Cafe a try soon!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Limited menunbc173VIPDined on 9/19/2014Heard wonderful things about Prarie Grass but was disappointed in the limited menu they have. Cocktail creations were vast and interesting!Special Features:
- Over ratedJimbo6VIPDined on 9/11/2014Overcooked fish entree, mediocre service were the highlights of the dinner. The spinach side was overly salty. Cooffee was good.
- Best burgerfrankVIPDined on 9/10/2014The 10 oz. burger at Prairie Grass is the best hamburger in town.Special Features:
- First VisitChicagoFoodFanVIPDined on 9/6/2014We were thrilled with our first visit to Prairie Grass Cafe. The service was polite and attentive. Our food was excellent and well priced. The decor is warm and contemporary, a nice surprise for a suburban restaurant. It is on the noisy side as the ceilings are vaulted and there is no carpeting or table cloths to dampen the sound. We selected a booth by the window to avoid the noise as much as possible and that seemed to work quite well. We will definitely be going back!Special Features:
- forgotten favoritebikemomVIPDined on 9/6/2014Always forget how much I enjoy this restaurant till I come back and it is perfect every time. One of the few restaurants in the area where you can truly have a conversation without yelling. Also one of the few non-vegetarian restaurants where my vegetarian daughter is excited about the variety of choices for her. Broad selection of food that is prepared to showcase the quality and freshness of the ingredients. The service is attentive and competent and the atmosphere is casual and warm.Special Features:
- GeorgeVIPDined on 8/26/2014Lovely lunch visit with a colleague. The quality of the food and service is always very enjoyable. At times I find the voices and other noises of the restaurant make it a bit of a challenge to hear the others at my table, however that never interferes in the enjoyment of the visit there.
- GeorgeVIPDined on 8/25/2014One of my favorites in the area. An easy place to share a meal with friends and colleagues. Always a quality experience.I would recommend this to a friend.
- Really enjoy thisfriendVIPDined on 8/24/2014I really enjoy this restaurant. They have good vegetarian selections, which is a rare find.Special Features:
- OpenTable Diner Since 2009Dined on 8/22/2014I have eaten at Prairie Grass Cafe several times. The food, as always, was outstanding. However, the service this time around was not up to the usual standard: the host was a bit dismissive, and the waiter took an exceptionally long time to take our order or to check up on us. Granted, it was a very busy Friday night, but I still think the service could have been one step stronger in order to complete the optimal dining experience.Special Features:
- Great fooddenisedivDined on 8/22/2014Really enjoyed the meal;however there was no ambiance. I was surprised with the interior of the restaurant. My husband and I have been trying to go here for awhile. We were excited to be able to get a reservation. The service was fine, not great. The food was good, but it would have been worth the wait had the ambiance been better. Though the food was good, I don't think we will be back.Special Features:
- always great foodTomKDined on 8/20/2014It seems like the clientele is getting a little creepy. Lots of walkers, oxygen and wheelchairs. Attendants hovering around tables. Seemed like a nursing home went out for dinner.Special Features:


text: (NAFB)--Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsack says rural electric cooperatives have provided reliable, affordable power to rural communities for more than 75 years. Investments announced Friday - he says - will help ensure our electric infrastructure continues to deliver reliable and affordable electricity for years to come. More than 1.8-billion dollars in funding was announced for electric utility infrastructure projects in 25 states and one territory. USDA says the projects will improve service for more than 37-thousand rural customers. More than 45-million dollars is included for smart grid technology and 73-million dollars is for renewable energy projects. With funding provided through USDA's Rural Utilities Service Program - Vilsack says the announcement is another reminder of the importance of USDA programs for rural America. He says we need a comprehensive new Food, Farm and Jobs Bill to further expand the rural economy.

How many Americans died on Christmas Day from a gun shot? How many have been shot and killed since the Dec. 14 mass shooting at a school in Newtown, Conn.?
No one knows for sure. Authorities pull together annual figures, but not daily reports on gun-related murders, suicides and accidental deaths.
Slate and a citizen journalist who tweets as @GunDeaths are trying to fill at least some of that information void. Their admittedly incomplete data suggest that on average, at least 17 Americans a day have died from gunshots since the Newtown shootings that claimed the lives of 20 children, seven adults and the gunman.
Dan Kois, a Slate senior editor, tells NPR's Audie Cornish that the project is "our best attempt to collect up all the gun deaths in America." The goal, he says, is to put some names and stories behind such deaths. As the debate over gun control since the shootings at Sandy Park Elementary School continues, says Kois, "it's hard to really know what kinds of decisions we should make" if more isn't known about gun-related deaths.
The information that Slate and @GunDeaths are relying on to produce an interactive chart comes from newspapers, TV stations and websites run by trained journalists. The anonymous @GunDeaths began collecting and tweeting the reports after the July mass shooting at a movie theater in Aurora, Colo. The data are incomplete, Kois concedes. Many suicides by guns, for example, go unreported.
But he believes the project is painting a picture of the role guns play, every day, in the lives and deaths of Americans. Clicking on the icons in Slate's chart leads you to news reports about each person's death.
Twenty children and six adults were killed by a gunman at the Sandy Hook school. He also killed his mother that day, and took his own life.
As for Christmas Day, so far Slate and @GunDeaths have collected reports about 21 gun-related deaths.
And as of earlier today, they had reports about 242 gun-related deaths since the shootings in Newtown.
The Slate interactive chart and more about the project are online here.
Much more from the conversation with Kois is due on today's All Things Considered. We'll add the as-broadcast version of the interview to the top of this post later. Click here to find an NPR station that streams or broadcasts the show.
