Youngsters help to kick out racism.
FARTOWN High pupils took on a starring role at Town's game.
The youngsters teamed up with the players to get across a vital message - Let's Kick Racism Out of Football.
Four students led players onto the pitch for the Galpharm clash against Bristol Rovers as part of the Let's Kick Racism Out of Football campaign.
Natasha Hargreaves, 13, of Brackenhall, Bilal Khan, 15 and Conner Arundel, 13 - both of Birkby - and Codie Clarke, 13, of Fartown, led the way for Jon Worthington and his squad.
A further 20 pupils, aged from 11 to 16, played ambassadors for the campaign by holding anti-racism banners on the pitch.
Other pupils and school staff were given free tickets to see The Terriers.
The event took place as part of the One Game, One Community weeks of action, which take place at football clubs across the country.
The project, which ties in with Black History Month, aims to combat racial stereotypes and encourage all communities to enjoy the 'beautiful game'.
Fartown High teacher Mohammed Lone - head of the school's Community Cohesion drive - said: "We're very, very proud and honoured that we are the school to have been chosen. It's a privilege to represent our local authority.
"The campaign is important because it's breaking down barriers and getting communities that don't normally come to football matches to come and be proud of their club."

BMJ: Clinical trial data for all drugs in current use must be available for independent scrutiny
In an impassioned editorial, BMJ editor Fiona Godlee calls on the pharmaceutical industry to release clinical trial data on all approved drugs, and on medical journals to publish industry-funded trials only when there is a commitment to make patient-level data available on reasonable request. She states that the BMJ will require this commitment for all clinical trials of drugs and devices, whether industry-funded or not, beginning in January 2013. In addition, BMJ is publishing online all correspondence between Roche and the Cochrane Collaboration researchers regarding the oseltamivir (Tamiflu) data. More on the battle for Tamiflu data here.
Addendum 11/2/2012: read Pharmalot's coverage here.
BMJ editor: Open letter to Roche about oseltamivir trial data
In BMJ:
Roche promised in 2009 to release full reports from clinical trials of oseltamivir in response to an investigation by the BMJ and the Cochrane Collaboration. In this open letter to John Bell, regius professor of medicine at Oxford University and a Roche board member, the BMJ's editor in chief further urges the company to disclose the full data.

Article in Korean Circulation Journal retracted for plagiarism
In March of this year, Larry Husten reported on CardioBrief that a review article in the Korean Circulation Journal by Chang Gyu Park and Ju Young Lee appeared to plagiarize from a review article in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology by Franz Messerli and Gurusher Panjrath. In April, Husten reported that the article was being investigated by the publishing committee of the Korean Society of Cardiology and Korean Association of Medical Journal Editors. It has just come to my attention that the KCJ article has been retracted. Here is the notice:
On July 31, 2011, Korean Circulation Journal (KCJ) published a review article by Park et al. regarding the J-curve in hypertension and coronary artery diseases. However, a possibility of plagiarism has been raised in this article.
The Editorial Board of KCJ has examined the review article and has requested the Committee for Publication Ethics of Korean Association of Medical Journal Editors (KAMJE) to provide an adequate conclusion. After thorough investigation, the Committee for Publication Ethics of KAMJE and the Editorial Board of KCJ have concluded that the article is seriously plagiarizing from an article by Messeri (sic) et al.
In this regard, on May 8, 2012, the Executive Committee of the Korean Society of Cardiology has finally decided to retract the article completely. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused.
Compare and contrast: two review articles on ezetimibe
For the past several years I have been following the ezetimibe controversy (see these posts on Gooznews and this blog here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, and here). In my view, we continue to lack evidence of ezetimibe's clinical benefit, or even safety, 10 years after FDA approval.
I have a Google Scholar Alert for ezetimibe, so often links to articles on ezetimibe arrive in my email inbox. Recently, two review articles on ezetimibe were published that were a study in contrasts. The first, by Sheila Doggrell, takes a skeptical view toward ezetimibe and reaches the following conclusion:
The comparison of clinical trials with simvastatin and ezetimibe alone and together has clearly shown that simvastatin decreases LDL-cholesterol and this is associated with improved clinical outcomes. Also, ezetimibe alone or in the presence of simvastatin lowers LDL-cholesterol. However, ezetimibe alone or in the presence of simvastatin has not been shown to have any irrefutable beneficial effects on clinical outcomes. Thus, until/unless the use of ezetimibe is clearly shown to improve clinical outcomes, its use should be largely restricted to clinical trials investigating clinical outcomes, and ezetimibe should not be used routinely in everyday practice.
The second, by Binh An Phan, Thomas Dayspring and Peter Toth, takes a much more optimistic view:
In the current treatment of cardiovascular disease, many subjects fail to reach LDL-C targets or remain at high risk for CHD events despite optimal statin and medical therapy. Ezetimibe inhibits intestinal cholesterol absorption and is effective in lowering cholesterol as monotherapy or in combination with statins in several populations, including those with FH, sitosterolemia, and insulin resistance. Significant controversy has been generated regarding the clinical effectiveness of ezetimibe, particularly after the publication of ENHANCE and ARBITER-6 despite both trials having significant methodological flaws that limited their ability to evaluate the benefit of ezetimibe. Growing data suggest that ezetimibe in combination with statin has a positive effect on the progression of atherosclerosis and reduces cardiovascular events in subjects at risk for CHD, including those with chronic kidney disease. Results from IMPROVE-IT are forthcoming and may help to guide better the use of ezetimibe in very high-risk CHD populations. Until that time and based upon the current available data, ezetimibe should remain a viable adjunct to statin therapy in the treatment of hypercholesterolemia.
Dr. Phan and colleagues find reasons to dismiss the negative results of ENHANCE and ARBITER 6-HALTS as due to "methodological flaws" and use copious amounts of hand-waving to find support for ezetimibe in the SEAS and SHARP trials, even though those trials compared the combination of simvastatin and ezetimibe with placebo and thus can tell us nothing about what, if anything, ezetimibe added to those results. Could the differing views of Doggrell and Phan et al. have anything to do with the fact that Dr. Doggrell declares no conflicts of interest relating to ezetimibe, while Phan, Dayspring and Toth declare the following conflicts:
Binh An Phan is a speaker for Abbott. Thomas Dayspring consults for Abbott, GSK, Health Diagnostic Labs, Kowa Company, Eli Lilly, Merck, Genentech, The Roche Group, Genzyme, and Omthera. He is on the Lecture Bureau for Abbott, GSK, Health Diagnostic Labs, Kowa, Eli Lilly, LipoScience, Merck. Peter P Toth is a speaker for Abbott, AstraZeneca, Amylin, Boehringer-Ingelheim, GSK, Kowa, Merck and consults for Abbott, Aegerion, AstraZeneca, Atherotech, Genzyme, Genentech, Kowa, and Merck.
It is not too surprising that authors who are consultants and on the speaker's bureau for Merck would take a favorable view of ezetimibe. What is surprising is that anyone would take their word for it.

Alzheimer's disease, familial hypercholesterolemia, and clinical trials
Welcome Jesse Ballenger to the blogosphere. Jesse is a historian who specializes in the history of medicine and is the author of Self, Senility and Alzheimer's Disease in Modern America. Gary Schwitzer alerted me to Jesse's post on Gina Kolata's recent Sunday New York Times piece, How Do You Live Knowing You Might Have an Alzheimer's Gene?, as well as to the existence of his blog, To Conquer Confusion: A Historian's Perspective on the Science and Experience of Alzheimer's Disease and Dementia. Jesse has both praise and criticism for Kolata's story, and his post brings needed perspective on the history of research on Alzheimer's as well as on the choice on Kolata's part to present only the very optimistic views of certain Alzheimer's researchers who "say that within a decade there could be a drug that staves off brain destruction and death." I agree with him that "Kolata should have raised questions about this claim, and talked to experts not directly involved in the research who are far less optimistic about its potential to so quickly lead to effective treatments." So please go read his post.
Kolata describes an American family in which many members are afflicted with early-onset Alzheimer's caused by an autosomal dominant mutation. Because the mutation is dominant, each affected family member has a 50% chance of passing the mutation on to each of his or her chidren. The story is tragic and brought to my mind the emotions I experienced in 2001, when my daughter was diagnosed with heterozygous familial hypercholesterolemia (heFH) at age 8. This is a genetic disease that causes very high LDL-cholesterol from birth and if untreated leads to early heart disease in a high percentage of patients. At the time, I was only vaguely aware that there was a history of heart disease in my husband's family and that his mother had had a heart attack. At the urging of my daughter's cardiologist, we asked my husband's mother for more details and learned that her father had died of a heart attack at 35 and her brother, her only sibling, died of a heart attack at 40. My mother-in-law suffered her first heart attack at age 58. My husband inherited the mutation but has only a mild case, and my mother-in-law had never been told anything other than that she had high cholesterol, so my daughter's diagnosis was the first occasion anyone in the family realized that the family history of early heart attacks was caused by a mutation. Fortunately, unlike the case of Alzheimer's disease, the risk associated with heFH can now be greatly reduced if patients are treated from an early age with a statin. Homozygous FH patients, who have two copies of an FH mutation, are not so lucky and usually must undergo LDL apheresis on a regular basis.
Back to Kolata's article: I want to expand a little on a comment I wrote on Jesse's post. My comment related to Kolata's comparison between the development of statins and the development of drugs to prevent Alzheimer's. As described in Kolata's article, certain drugs in development are being tested in persons who are carriers of an Alzheimer's mutation but have not yet developed symptoms of the disease. The patients will receive one of several drugs or a placebo, and will be monitored for the development of certain biomarkers and, importantly, for the development of memory problems. Kolata states that "Statins, the drugs that are broadly prescribed to block the body's cholesterol synthesis, were first found effective in studies of people who inherited a rare gene that led to severe and early heart disease."
The disease Kolata is presumably referring to is FH, but whether her statement is accurate depends on how one defines "effective." Early in the development of statins, after they had been tested in animals, they were given to a few patients with homozygous FH and heterozygous FH, as described in this 1992 article in the Journal of Lipid Research. However, at that time the drugs were only being tested for their ability to lower LDL and for safety. LDL-lowering is a surrogate endpoint. If by "effective" one means the prevention of heart attacks and other cardiovascular events, the statement is inaccurate. When statins came on the market in the late 1980s, FH patients were excluded from the clinical trials that were conducted to show than statins not only lowered LDL but also prevented heart attacks, strokes and death. It was considered unethical to give an FH patient a placebo. To this day, no randomized controlled trial of statins with clinical endpoints has been done in FH patients and it is unlikely that one will ever be done.
Direct evidence of the effectiveness of statins in heFH includes two observational studies, one of patients in a British registry and one of patients in a Dutch registry. In addition, the ASAP trial compared a high dose statin with a moderate dose statin in heFH patients, but the endpoint was carotid intima media thickness, "IMT" (i.e., thickness of the carotid artery measured by ultrasound). There was also a trial of statin vs. placebo in teenage FH patients using IMT as an endpoint. In addition, many trials of statins have shown a benefit in non-FH patients with elevated LDL and it is reasonable to assume that this benefit would carry over to FH patients.
Thus, the comparison between the trials of investigational Alzheimer's drugs in mutation carriers and the testing of statins in FH patients is not particularly apt. The Alzheimer's trials in patients with hereditary Alzheimer's will be measuring the development of clinical symptoms of Alzheimer's (i.e., memory loss, confusion, etc.). The tests of statins in FH patients looked only at the effect of the drug on a surrogate endpoint (i.e., LDL-lowering) and no trials with clinical endpoints (i.e., heart attacks and other cardiovascular events and death) were done in FH patients.

"Be Brave"
In January, I blogged about an open letter by Harlan Krumholz and Rodney Hayward to the panel that is currently engaged in writing new guidelines for cholesterol management. As discussed in my post, their letter challenges the committee to replace the current "treat to target" paradigm with a "tailored treatment" approach. This has been one of my more popular posts of all time, and people often find my blog by Googling "Krumholz Hayward open letter" and the like. It also has been discussed on CardioExchange. So I knew their paper had created a bit of a buzz in the cardiology community. Well, it appears that some in that community are not happy that someone is challenging the current paradigm. Dr. Krumholz reports on CardioExchange that he was approached by an influential person and asked to stop speaking out on the new approach he is advocating:
I had an experience the other week that reminded me that speaking your mind has its challenges. I was approached by someone with influence who asked me to cease my discussions on a particular topic. The reason was oblique – and I was told that people are viewing me negatively because my views are strong and wondering if there are conflicts of interest that are influencing me. In essence, I was told that people are whispering about me – though no names were given.
Now this topic was part of a scientific debate that has strong implications for guidelines and performance measures – and, well, patients. It is a situation where I am questioning conventional wisdom – and the long held beliefs by many individuals. I am trying to do so respectfully – and through the use of evidence – but still it is questioning dogma.
This conversation prompted me to write a message to my younger colleagues urging them to stand up for what they believe – and be willing to speak truth to power. I quote my friend Victor Montori, who eloquently advised a junior colleague about how to manage a concern about whether to express an opinion that was likely to be viewed negatively by her superiors. That person had been told to hold opinions tight until he had more grey hair. Victor starts by saying: 'I have struggled with this issue for years. Turns out that this is a common struggle for those who find themselves unable to stay silent in the face of waste, error, low integrity, or abuse.'
The message Dr. Krumholz wrote is in the form of an editorial in Circulation: Cardiovascular Quality and Outcomes, entitled "A Note to My Younger Colleagues … Be Brave." The editorial is open access, so I urge you to go read it in its entirety, but I'm going to quote this paragraph, which seems key:
If you take the path toward clarity, I guarantee that you will occasionally find people who will disparage you. They may seek to undermine you, find ways to marginalize you, and try to incriminate you. They may come from directions that surprise you. Powerful ideas often attract attacks that focus more on individuals than ideas. If you raise inconvenient truths or voice uncomfortable opinions, particularly if they threaten someone's comfortable status quo, then you will discover much about the character of those with whom you disagree. But always take the high road, engage in dialogue about ideas and evidence, and be motivated by the opportunity to best serve patients and the public. You will not regret it.
Although I am not a physician, I certainly recognize and have experienced the issues Dr. Krumholz is describing in my own life. Speaking uncomfortable truths often isn't considered nice and doesn't win popularity contests, but it is necessary for progress to be made. So I will keep covering this controversy, and I invite you to read Dr. Krumholz's editorial and then let me know your thoughts.
Addendum: Here are comments by Ben Goldacre on Dr. Krumholz's editorial.

Regulating Medical Devices: A Historical Perspective
Suzanne Junod, PhD, FDA
In drafting what would become the 1976 Medical Device Amendment, framers of the legislation sought to avoid some of the perceived shortcomings in the Kefauver Harris Drug Amendments which had been enacted after the thalidomide disaster in 1962. In particular, they wanted to minimize adverse effects on an industry characterized by change and innovation. At that time, however, there was no formal field of biomedical engineering while entrepreneurial zeal had begun to create indisputable regulatory issues. Two of FDA's first device "hires," in fact, were a pair of engineers from NASA who concluded after a week on the job that conditions in the biomedical industry at that time were "appalling" and that standard engineering practices including back up systems, redundancies, and performance standards were simply non-existent. Their insights, along with some early lessons learned "the hard way," helped determine the unique ways in which FDA came to perceive its role in regulating medical devices, ways which differed markedly from those adopted for the regulation of new drugs.
Direct-to-consumer advertising of prescription drugs: educating the public to misuse medicines
Barbara Mintzes, PhD, Therapeutics Initiative, British Columbia
Direct-to-consumer advertising of prescription medicines (DTCA) is arguably the most intensive "educational" campaign the US public receives on health issues. On average, Americans spend over 100 times as long watching TV ads about medicines as seeing a doctor each year. These ads include powerful messages about how to recognize and treat everyday and serious health problems, thresholds for care, the role and value of medicines, and expected health effects. Because the aim is to sell a medicine, this "education of a special kind" consistently supports overuse of medicines. I will use examples of recent DTCA campaigns to illustrate the gulf between the scientific evidence on treatment effects, appropriate use, and advertising messages.
Cardiovascular Devices: The Role of Evidence in the FDA Approval Process
Rita Redberg, MD, Archives of Internal Medicine and UC San Francisco
There has been a rapid increase in complexity and use of medical devices, and many of them are cardiovascular. While some of these are life-saving, some are not, and even more have unknown clinical benefit. The current state of the quality of evidence prior to FDA approval of high-risk devices, with some examples and suggestions on how to improve this process so that patients could be more assured of benefits outweighing harms will be discussed.
Left To Our Own Devices: A Surgeon's Perspective
Amy Friedman MD, SUNY Upstate Medical University
A practical overview of the extent to which the typical clinician comprehends the regulatory pathway for medical devices will be presented. The extent to which clinicians are (or are not) familiar with the specific level of scientific data review that the medical devices they use in patients have undergone prior to gaining FDA clearance for human use will be illustrated. Two specific examples of medical devices that have been associated with significant patient harm, but were not previously recognized to be of concern will be used to illustrate the context of unknown patient safety and risk in the clinical arena.
Radiation From Medical Imaging: A Hidden Epidemic
Rebecca Smith-Bindman, MD, UC San Francisco
Many clinicians are unaware of the amount of radiation delivered from CT scans and other medical imaging techniques and extant data regarding increased risk of cancer from radiation exposure. This presentation will cover the long-term risks of radiation from medical imaging, legislative and quality improvement efforts around CT imaging, and present a framework for reducing inappropriate imaging.
The Failure of the DePuy ASR Hip Prosthesis: Implications for device safety initiatives
John Restaino, DPM, JD, MPH, University of South Carolina School of Pharmacy
The use of metal-on-metal bearings in total hip replacements has seen a sharp decline after a decade-long increase in their use, due to the recall of DePuy's ASR prosthesis and the growing realization that metal-on-metal prostheses are associated not only with a high failure rates but also elevated systemic cobalt and chromium levels. In the U.S., the ASR XL total hip replacement passed through the FDA's 510(k) clearance process via the "substantial equivalence" route wherein companies need only to show that their product is similar to a 'predicate' device already on the market. In 2007 the Australian National Joint Replacement Registry reported that the ASR required revisions at a rate five times the expected rate at two years. Following years of denial by DePuy that ASR implants were failing, ASR hip prostheses were recalled from the U.S. market on August 24, 2010.
The Supreme Court Strikes Back: IMS v. Sorrell – a Constitutional Right to Track Prescription Data?
Sean Flynn, JD, American University Washington College of Law
The Supreme Court ruled in IMS v. Sorrell that Vermont's law restricting the use of prescription data to target pharmaceutical detailing to doctors violated the First Amendment of the Constitution. How broad is the right recognized? What room is left for states to control commercial access to confidential medical data for marketing purposes?
Federal Litigation
Julie Taitsman MD JD, Health and Human Services Office of the Inspector General

Exploiting Homeless Mentally Ill Patients in Drug Safety Trials
Carl Elliott, MD, PhD, University of Minnesota Center for Bioethics, author of White Coat, Black Hat
For years pharmaceutical companies have paid marginalized populations to test the safety of new drugs. In recent years, however, specialized psychiatric trial sites have begun recruiting mentally patients from homeless shelters, boarding houses and recovery facilities. These subjects are often paid to test the safety of new drugs in Phase I trials, raising new ethical questions about exploitation of vulnerable populations.

GREEN BAY, Wis. -- Green Bay Packers running back Eddie Lacy says he's learned a lesson after suffering a concussion against Washington in Week 2.
Lacy was diving for extra yardage after a 10-yard gain when Redskins safety Brandon Meriweather made a helmet-to-helmet hit. Lacy hasn't played since Sept. 15, though he is listed as probable for Sunday's game with the Detroit Lions at Lambeau Field.
Lacy told the Green Bay Press-Gazette that from now on, he will refrain from leaving his feet for extra yardage.
"I don't see me jumping like that anymore, unless it's from the 5 or something like that," Lacy said.
Lacy entered the season as the Packers' starting halfback. In his absence, James Starks and fellow rookie Johnathan Franklin have had 100-yard games.
"I feel a lot better, and anytime you get a chance to get back on the field you're going to be excited about that," Lacy said. "I'm just taking it one day at a time, still getting in the playbook, going through the process, and I'll be happy when I get to play."

The members of Deerhoof, who drop by Monkey Mania (2126 Arapahoe Street) on Wednesday, April 30, understand the difference between "childlike" and "childish." Apple O', the San Francisco-based combo's latest disc on the Kill Rock Stars imprint, is an undiluted blast of sheer exuberance, and thanks to the guitar jousting of Chris Cohen and John Dietrich, the idiosyncratic rhythms tossed out by drummer Greg Saunier, and Satomi Matsuzaki's guileless vocals, the music's as smart as it is witty. On tracks such as "Panda Panda Panda," on which most of the lyrics are incorporated within its title, and "Heart Failure," in which she sings about "teen pop" shooting "straight to the top," Matsuzaki sounds happier than a dental hygienist accidentally locked in a room filled with nitrous oxide. Yet during the quieter sections of "Apple Bomb," she allows a hint of melancholy to creep into her girly tone, which only makes the moments when she has to squeal to be heard over the slamming riffs that much more thrilling. As Apple O' proves, Deerhoof makes kids' stuff in the best sense of the term.

A renewed, and legitimate, call for civility in public discourse was issued after the tragic 2011 shootings of then-U.S. Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, members of her staff and innocent bystanders by a young man, later determined to be mentally ill.
Early reports after the Saturday, Jan. 8 crimes seemed to point fingers at the inflammatory environment of political extremes. While that was proven false in the Giffords tragedy, the truth of a toxic environment exists and seems to be stoked by many hiding behind the cries for "civility."
In a recent news article, it was revealed that every member of Wisconsin's state legislature received an email involving specific members of the Republican-led body that ended collective bargaining in the state. The email simply stated, "We're going to put a bullet in your head. We know where you and your family lives."
The disgusting Photoshopped image of President George Bush's face on the body of a child running on a track framed by the text, "Voting for Bush is like running in the Special Olympics: Even if you win, you're still retarded" was a desperate vision from the 2004 election cycle.
Now a new practice has begun. "SWATing" is the practice of placing false calls reporting an emergency, usually involving extreme reports of violence, seeking a vigorous response by law enforcement. The calls that have been made recently that are capturing the attention of those in politics involve targets who are conservative bloggers.
A New Jersey blogger who focused on the scandal involving former Congressman Anthony Weiner and his inappropriate personal photos, a California deputy district attorney who blogs under the name "Patterico," and CNN contributor and conservative Georgia blogger Erick Erickson have been on the receiving end of "SWATing" most recently, news reports show.
"Patterico" was awakened by law enforcement personnel with drawn weapons expecting to find his slain wife. He subsequently was handcuffed under a helicopter circling over his home.
Erickson previously had warned local law enforcement of hate mail and other threats and had given the authorities a "heads up" that he could be a similar target.
There are more examples, but the point has been made.
For those who have the inability to control their emotions, express their thoughts and beliefs in a rational manner and focus on the issues of the day, and choose violence, acts of wrongful behavior, and even threats, the notion of civil debate is elusive and a manufactured request.
The charge and challenge is now issued: Local and state political party organizations, police your own. Candidates, run on your record and your issues. Public, reject those who ignore the aforementioned and offer cries for civility in name only.
Five years ago, when my family moved to Canada, we were stunned by the difference in the levels of civility between the US and Canada.
How and why did common basic civility decline so rapidly in the US culture? What changed?
In 2004 during the Bush vs Kerry election campaign, my then six year old granddaughter became so disturbed with exchanges of accusations between the candidates that she said "I don't want to be President, but I may have to be". And the level of civility now is even worse. Are we to become a nation of mud wrestlers?
Oh please, your calls for civility are as one-sided and biased can be.
You can't expect to be believed if you ignore your own faults while exaggerating those of others.
Your examples are partisan. Police yourself first. Call out your own liars and abusers, don't remain conspicuously silent.
There's a Florida pastor who just hung President Obama in effigy. Yet you meant an eight-year old offense and not that. How screwed up is that?
You're welcome.
BTW, a congressman called the Capitol police about a child pornographer this week.
Any guess what party Doug Lamborn is a member of? Or what the photo looks like?
If it was child porn, then half the parents in the country could end up in prison.

Recently, ornithologists in Antarctica made a startling discovery: Female emperor penguins, being forced against their wills to endure stern patriarchal societal norms, tend to practice iffy mating habits. Close scrutiny revealed that most adult females go bonkers struggling to choose between an exciting-but-destructive "bad boy" penguin and a dependable-but-boring "good boy" penguin, promoting multiple neuroses for all concerned, with any resulting little penguins left waddling around the ice wondering what the hell is going on.
Actually, that's a total lie, but it neatly establishes the theme of Once Upon a Time in the Midlands, which features neither Antarctic settings nor penguins but does take place near the center of an emotionally chilly island where women are still sometimes called "birds." In this case, the bird in question is the wonderful Shirley Henderson (Moaning Myrtle from the second Harry Potter movie), whose character--also called Shirley--is faced with a dilemma. Her cooing, dove-like man Dek (Rhys Ifans, Spike from Notting Hill) mortifies her by proposing on live British television, catching the hawk-eye of dastardly Jimmy (Robert Carlyle, Gaz from The Full Monty), who flew the coop 12 years earlier, immediately after their union produced a good egg named Marlene (Finn Atkins in her feature debut). When Jimmy migrates back to their humble love nest bent on aggressive romantic reclamation, Shirley tries to wing it, but Dek's feathers get ruffled.
This may sound like a standard-issue romantic comedy, but director Shane Meadows and regular writing collaborator Paul Fraser (TwentyFourSeven) have decided to infuse their project with the extremely unlikely tone of a suburban British western. To wit: The streets are usually ghost-town empty, the crane shots echo conventions of classic showdowns and the superbly diverse score by John Lunn riffs on twangy guitar and blazing harmonica. Apparently the movie's title started off as a little giggle and just stuck, strangely influencing Midlands' overall feel.
If only that feel were more consistent or engrossing. While the movie makes the most of its simple settings, there's a distinct lack of tension, especially compared with Meadows' previous feature, A Room for Romeo Brass (whose lead, Andrew Shim, shows up here as a kid named Donut). That project rattled with the hard knocks of growing up, featuring fledgling yobbo Paddy Considine in a star-making role that has yet to turn him into a star--rather unfair when Nicolas Cage keeps punching the clock for multiple millions. Here, stars fill the major roles, but the movie seems overly dependent on their familiar faces, rather than giving us a sense of any real romantic risk. When one keeps noticing that Dek's rear-view mirror appears and disappears depending on the angle--an inconsistency quite common in big-budget features--it's hardly indicative of a captivating story.
Such as it is, this story is only adequately cute, charming and pleasant--very much like its hapless lovers. Scenes revolve around our leads lollygagging amid clusters of supporting characters, be they Dek's crew at the auto shop, nosy girls bugging Shirley down at the bingo hall or Jimmy and his crooked mates from Glasgow getting into a dust-up with some renegade clowns. You know, that sort of thing. All the while, girl-woman Shirley vacillates between dorky Dek and slim Jimmy, leading to a three-way confrontation that, from behind, closely resembles Anthony Michael Hall and Judd Nelson battling over Ally Sheedy.
Goodness, maybe this movie is kind of nice after all.
No, despite personal fondness for talent and locale, I must hold ground. Carlyle pulls one good scene in which he sensitively ogles senior citizens dancing in a gazebo, but otherwise he lazily consolidates his charmer shtick and his thug shtick. (An altercation with his fed-up on-screen sister Kathy Burke proves flat-out tedious.) Ifans, meanwhile, makes the dreadful error of playing a boring doofus as... a boring doofus. Dek does scramble off with one funny line (responding to a pushy request for a kebab, he snips, "Tell you what, I'll just swim to Turkey and get you a nice, fresh one!"), but otherwise there's nothing fresh about his character as written. Also, since the movie is never established as a fantasy, I found its conclusion emotionally implausible. Alas.
But then there's Henderson, whose Shirley seems yanked straight out of Billy Bragg's song "Greetings to the New Brunette" ("Shir-leee!--your sexual politics have left me all of a muddle!"). No matter how weirdly Meadows tarts up his beloved Midlands, she's got the place wrapped around her finger. Not only is she gorgeously lensed (by superb cinematographer Brian Tufano), the star of Michael Winterbottom's Wonderland, The Claim and 24-Hour Party People now knows how to own the screen. Her sparkling humanity plays splendidly off Atkins as her confused daughter, and her romantic indecision sparks magic even with her cartoony, broadly drawn beaux. This movie's just so-so, but at its heart lies a true leading lady.

A little about me...
As I indicated above music, film and tech mean a lot to me. Did most of my outdooring while in uniform so I'm not big on being hot, cold or wet for fun. BUT anything's tolerable with the right partner!
About the one I'm looking for...
Please be open minded, kind, able to laugh and not too judgemental. Not interested in someone who feels it's necessary to "analyse" our relationship every minute of every day. Sometimes silence is just silence. She must be able to love herself. I can't love you if you don't love yourself... Simple as that.
I'd just like to add...

This is a very diverse school that's about half Hispanic. My child, who is not Hispanic, loves it. I love it, too. The teachers at Jere Whitson are super. The new addition to the building is very nice, too. it's a great school.
I have two children that attended Jere Whitson Elementary. This school is beyond compare... housing creative, loving, amazing teachers and turning out remarkable students. Having volunteered in all of the schools that my girls attended, I can honestly say that Jere Whitson's staff is beyond compare. I would recommend this school to anyone with young children, as they will not only excel because of the excellent academics, but they will thrive because of the love shown to them by these remarkable educators!
I've had two first graders come through Mrs. Heather Roach's class and I must say, she is awesome! Very thorough, cares about the children as individuals, and is genuinely concerned for their education. She works very hard is always available. She was wonderful.
I love Jere Whitson school. I have a kindergardener and they all did what they could to calm him down on his first day. Mrs.Vicki Rector was his teacher. I really think he enjoyed it.All the teachers and principal were always nice and respectfull. Unfortunatly we moved we will miss this school and its staff thanks Jere Whitson for making it easy on my son!
Jere Whitson is school with considerable history. It is one of the oldest schools in this county. The teachers work hard; it is a shame that the principal is not as devoted to the needs of the students and the teachers. It is my opinion that Jere Whitson needs another principal with the desire to foster a healthy learning environment. That is truly a shame when the teachers are trying so hard to do the job and teach.

My family was outraged when I recently banned premade Jello cups from our house. Enough already with the new convenient society, how hard is it to make Jello? To appease the rioting horde, I promised them I would make the best Jello they'd ever had, Jello they could pick up, the Knox Box I used to eat when I was a kid. Finding the super simple recipe was harder than I thought it would be, but I looked and looked and this is what I remember from my childhood. (The new Jello Jigglers don't cut it for me; they taste too much like gummy bears.) I'm surprised this isn't already on Zaar, but now it is!

Camlough Lake Water Festival on this weekend
Tuesday, 19 August 2014
THE much-acclaimed Camlough Lake Water Festival will take place this weekend - from Friday August 22 to Sunday 24.
The Festival opens at 6pm on Friday with the Lord and Lady of the Lake swim, including a new "buddy-swim" section plus a skins section, named after the legendary Joe McElhaw. The organisers are expecting close to 300 swimmers for this 2.7k length-of-the-lake swim which in previous years had international triathletes Aileen Reid and Russell White participating - not to mention our own Colleen Mallon who recently broke the Irish record for the North Channel crossing.
Also on Friday evening at 10pm there's a moonlit night swim. This is a magical experience that takes place on the 750m Guinness World Record course with swimmers going in pairs, illuminated by the light of glow sticks, with of course the Water Safety team as support.
Saturday is a day packed with events for all age groups. The Grounded Coffee dock will be in place from 9am and all are welcome to swim out to get a cuppa. There will be junior and senior aquathlons and the unique Try-a-Tri where triathlon beginners get the opportunity to test themselves over shorter distances of swimming, biking and running.
Sunday's events are for long-distance open water swimmers and the Camlough Lake Water Festival committee are pleased to host the prestigious Irish Long Distance Association, Swim Ireland and Swim Ulster National championships for both 10k and 5k with a junior 5k section.
Athletes have been training at Camlough Lake all year, especially those who have been given a blue "Step Out Of The Ordinary" challenge envelope. All events will be chip timed and entry fees are low with options for a weekend, family and individual passes.
The Festival's main sponsors are: The Quays, Newry Southern Regional College plus the Newry and Mourne District Council. Other sponsors include The Carrickdale Hotel, M & M Services, O'Brien's Sandwich Bars, Giggles Day Care, Mourne Hydraulic Hose and Fittings, Newry Triathlon Club, La Dolce Vita, A1 Safety and Workwear, Doyle's Bar, Camlough, ReGen Waste, Macadoreys Opticians, Chill Swim and Blue Seventy and Bridge End Bikes.

text: Redskins Owner Writes Letter to Fans: 'Heritage' of Nickname Must Be Preserved Print article Send a Tip by Breitbart Sports 9 Oct 2013 post a comment Washington Redskins owner Dan Snyder, who has vowed to "NEVER" change the team's name wrote season-ticket holders on Wednesday to inform them that the "heritage" of the Redskins name must be preserved. In a letter addressed to, "Everyone in our Washington Redskins Nation," Snyder begins by writing: As loyal fans, you deserve to know that everyone in the Washington Redskins organization -- our players, coaches and staff -- are truly privileged to represent this team and everything it stands for. We are relentlessly committed to our fans and to the sustained long-term success of this franchise. That's why I want to reach out to you -- our fans -- about a topic I wish to address directly: the team name, "Washington Redskins." While our focus is firmly on the playing field, it is important that you hear straight from me on this issue. As the owner of the Redskins and a lifelong fan of the team, here is what I believe and why I believe it. After writing about his experiences growing up a Redskins fan, Snyder writes, "Our past isn't just where we came from -- it's who we are": As some of you may know, our team began 81 years ago -- in 1932 -- with the name "Boston Braves." The following year, the franchise name was changed to the "Boston Redskins." On that inaugural Redskins team, four players and our Head Coach were Native Americans. The name was never a label. It was, and continues to be, a badge of honor. In 1971, our legendary coach, the late George Allen, consulted with the Red Cloud Athletic Fund located on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation in South Dakota and designed our emblem on the Redskins helmets. Several years later, Coach Allen was honored by the Red Cloud Athletic Fund. On the wall at our Ashburn, Virginia, offices is the plaque given to Coach Allen -- a source of pride for all of us. "Washington Redskins is more than a name we have called our football team for over eight decades. It is a symbol of everything we stand for: strength, courage, pride, and respect -- the same values we know guide Native Americans and which are embedded throughout their rich history as the original Americans. Snyder writes that he has "listened carefully to the commentary and perspectives on all sides, and I respect the feelings of those who are offended by the team name. But I hope such individuals also try to respect what the name means, not only for all of us in the extended Washington Redskins family, but among Native Americans too." He then asks readers to "consider the following facts concerning" the team's name: 1) The highly respected Annenberg Public Policy Center polled nearly 1,000 self-identified Native Americans from across the continental U.S. and found that 90% of Native Americans did not find the team name "Washington Redskins" to be "offensive." 2) In an April 2013 Associated Press survey, 79% of the respondents stated the Washington Redskins should not change their name, while only 1 1% believed the team's name should change. Paul Woody, a columnist for the Richmond Times Dispatch, interviewed three leaders of Virginia Native American tribes this May. They were all quoted by Mr. Woody as stating that the team name doesn't offend them -- and their comments strongly supported the name "Washington Redskins." Also in May, SiriusXM NFL Radio hosted Robert Green, the longtime and recently retired Chief of the Fredericksburg-area Patawomeck Tribe, who said, among other things: "Frankly, the members of my tribe -- the vast majority -- don't find it offensive. I've been a Redskins fan for years. And to be honest with you, I would be offended if they did change [the name, Redskins ... This is] an attempt by somebody ... to completely remove the Indian identity from anything and pretty soon ... you have a wipeout in society of any reference to Indian people ... You can't rewrite history -- yes there were some awful bad things done to our people over time, but naming the Washington football team the Redskins, we don't consider to be one of those bad things." Snyder then says in the letter that he respects "the opinions of those who disagree" and wants "them to know that I do hear them, and I will continue to listen and learn. But we cannot ignore our 81 year history, or the strong feelings of most of our fans as well as Native Americans throughout the country." "After 81 years, the team name 'Redskins' continues to hold the memories and meaning of where we came from, who we are, and who we want to be in the years to come," Snyder writes. "We are Redskins Nation and we owe it to our fans and coaches and players, past and present, to preserve that heritage."

- Thread: My RKT sculpture is collapsing!
You might not be compressing the mixture enough. RTK is sensitive to humidity as well. I had the same trouble with a teddy bear and I used toothpicks going in different directions and added some royal icing for glue. After the fondant was added it held up for the event. However I warned the servers about the toothpicks because they can be hard to spot and dangerous. I hope this helps and your piece turns out OK.
