Paarl Gym flyhalf Handre Pollard will replace the injured Johan Goosen in the SA U20 squad to compete at the Junior World Championship.
Pollard received a surprise call-up from Baby Boks head coach Dawie Theron last week as his troops gathered in Cape Town for their final training camp ahead of the tournament, which will be staged in Stellenbosch and Bellville from 4-22 June.
The 18-year-old and Sharks XV flyhalf Fred Zeilinga had trial run in a practice match against Hamiltons U20 last Wednesday, to see who would replace teenage sensation Goosen, who suffered a shoulder injury during the Cheetahs' Super Rugby campaign.
The schoolboy had an impressive outing, and has been rewarded with place in the final squad. Pollard will likely provide cover for Blue Bulls Vodacom Cup and U21 pivot Tony Jantjies, brother of Lions flyhalf Elton Jantjies.
'I was very impressed with the way Handre stepped up to a more senior level last week,' Theron told Schoolboy Derby. 'He coped physically and mentally, and played a hand in several of our tries. I liked the way he combined with the centres, especially [former SA Schools captain and current Springbok Sevens star] William Small-Smith.'
Pollard will become the first schoolboy to represent South Africa at the Junior World Championship.
Theron has also added Free State wing Raymond Rhule and Golden Lions scrumhalf Vian van der Watt to the squad in place of the injured Dean Hammond (WP) and Kevin Luiters (Free State) respectively.
'I am confident that all three players will do well. They are very talented and slotted in with ease since they joined us last week,' said Theron.
Final Baby Bok squad for Junior World Championship:
Backs – Marais Schmidt, Dillyn Leyds, Travis Ismaiel, Raymond Rhule, Tshotsho Mbovane, William Small-Smith, Paul Jordaan, Patrick Howard, Jan Serfontein, Tony Jantjies, Handrè Pollard, Vian van der Watt, Abrie Griesel.
Forwards - Wiaan Liebenberg (c), Shaun Adendorff, Khaya Majola, Braam Steyn, Fabian Booysen, Pieter Steph du Toit, Ruan Botha, Paul Willemse, Marvin Orie, Maks van Dyk, Allan Dell, Oliver Kebble, Steven Kitshoff, Mark Pretorius, Jason Thomas.

In 2008 Bobble founders, Richard and Stephanie Smiedt, were developing products in Asia when they passed by an open field piled high with factory waste. The scale was massive, breathtaking (quite literally). The field was a graphic illustration of the often-invisible impact of production and consumption. Richard and Stephanie felt compelled to move in a different direction.
They turned their attention towards single-serve plastic water bottles. They had seen consumer willingness to replace plastic bags in the checkout line and felt confident consumers would do the same with water bottles. The invention of bobble's portable filter was a signature milestone; the filter makes bobble possible, and distinguishes it from the cluttered field of water bottles. With bobble, consumers could have the experience of single-serve, minus its financial and environmental cost.

He planned to show a highlight video of the 2012 season during
"When you score close to 50 points a game and you give up eight points a game, there's a lot of highlights," he told the crowd gathered for Wednesday's ceremony.
Instead, he condensed a 35-minute video package down to about 10, with those attending reacting with oohs to the big defensive hits and wows for each dazzling touchdown run. The final highlights were of
"I look back at it a lot, probably every day," senior lineman Kendal Vickers said of the 15-1 title season. "It's been fun playing with all these guys. When you look back at it, it feels good. I kind of want one more time to play with all of them again."
During the ceremony,
"These guys the last two years did something that's tough to do in the state," Bryant said. "Not only is it tough to win a state championship, but it's very tough to go back-to-back and win two."
Senior quarterback and safety Pharoh Cooper, the most valuable player of the state championship game, said the one thing he would take from the season was how the players came together after a 34-33 loss to
"We had faith after that
Not only was the varsity's season celebrated, but also that of the junior varsity, which went 10-0 for the second straight season.
"It's very tough to have two undefeated JV seasons," Bryant said. "A lot of teams raid their JV to have sophomores fill out the varsity, but our JV coaching staff did a great job getting our JV players ready game in and game out, so the way it looks right now, our future is very bright with our football program at
Along with trophies and rings, the junior varsity and returning Rams also received something else: a spring and summer workout schedule.
That was just fine with standout junior running back Derrell Scott, who already has his eye on a third championship ring.
"I'm coming back next year, so you know we're going to get this third one," Scott said to the applause of the crowd.
After thanking all those who support the players and program, Bryant had the final words of the night.
"Before we adjourn," he told the crowd, "I just want to let you know that we'll be back here same time and same place next year getting our third ring."

The TSP in 2013
Tuesday - 1/8/2013, 12:22am EST
January 7, 2013 -- This week on For Your Benefit hosts Bob Leins and Tammy Flanagan welcome Greg Long, executive director of the Federal Retirement Thrift Investment Board, Kim Weaver, the TSP's director of external affairs, and Laurissa Stokes, assistant general counsel, to talk about the TSP in 2013.
One of the topics discussed is the Roth TSP, which was introduced in 2012. The Roth option will allow federal plan participants to withdraw their funds tax-free in retirement. That does, however, mean that you pay taxes on the monies you contribute to your Roth TSP now.
The introduction of the Roth option into the Thrift Savings Plan has generated much discussion as to who might most benefit from such a provision. Long says that he finds that the Roth TSP is particularly popular among younger federal employees, who also earn less than their older counterparts and are therefore in a lower tax bracket at this point in their careers.
The TSP director notes that participation in the Roth plan increased greatly with its being made available to those in the military service. He says this makes sense because many younger members of the military, while they are not highly paid, do have a high degree of disposable income inasmuch as their daily needs are already provided for (the proverbial "three hots and a cot").
"They can put the money in the Roth, pay their taxes in a very low tax bracket... and, if they do it right, all their earnings associated with it are tax-free 30 and 40 and 50 years later," Long says. "For the people who are the youngest and in the lowest tax bracket, the Roth is a very attractive option."
Other topics include:
- As of Dec. 31, 2012, the G Fund is still the leader in terms of funds invested in the TSP.
- With the loss of the payroll tax "holiday" some may reduce their TSP contributions. Long says that all FERS employees should be contributing at least 5 percent of their paycheck, in order to benefit from the government's matching contributions. Otherwise, he says, "you are leaving free money on the table."

[quote author="Storm"]Can you say "Pandora's box", or am I just being too worried?
The thing is, it's not about reason in any way, shape or form, and the Pandora's Box theory is based upon IF we teach creation, THEN we're opening Pandora's Box. But the creation/ID thing is about dogma, and nothing but creation/ID are in that particular box, so some fringe types (and just rightfully pissed off types) might well try to open Pandora's Box (obviously for very different reasons), but since there's no genuine reasoning involved to begin with, there's no functional basis for that to work even though it follows logically.

The Havelock Rams' sharp-shooting duo of Zack Bruns and Michael Bowman combined for 32 points to escape the Bears' Den in New Bern with a 67-62 victory Monday.
In a game that saw the Bears jumped out to 15-8 lead after one quarter and a 31-24 at the half, the Rams rushed back to outscore New Bern (1-1) 43-31 over the final two quarters for the win.
"If you can't get up for Havelock-New Bern, then you don't have a pulse," Havelock coach Bill Fryczynski said.
"A lot of people are still hyped up from football and I'm very happy to have my football guys back as I'm sure they (New Bern) are as well."
Havelock (1-2) played the game without starting point guard Kyran Bowman (back injury) and Pharoh Cooper is waiting to begin the basketball season until after the Shrine Bowl of the Carolinas.
"We didn't have Kyran tonight but we have a team full of guards and I knew I had guys like Zack (Bruns), Michael (Bowman) and David (Carter) who could handle the ball," Fryczynski said.
The two teams were battling tooth-and-nail over the final minutes and Havelock forced three straight New Bern turnovers that all led to points.
"We played well tonight at times but those three straight turnovers killed us," New Bern coach Cliff Dillard said.
"I probably shouldn't have waited so long to call a timeout and gotten it earlier. The boys played well defensively and this loss is on me."
Jailen Ganos led the Bears with 13 points, while Colin Jacobs and Jeff Taylor each added 10.
Ram girls squeeze by Bears
In a game that featured 42 personal fouls and 37 missed free throws, the Havelock Rams (1-1) outlasted the New Bern Bears (1-2) 51-44 Monday in New Bern.
Shakina Dyer led the Rams with 14 hard-earned points, most of which came from the paint, while Natalie Johnson nailed down four clutch free throws to help put the game on ice.
New Bern received 14-point efforts from J.J. Jones and Brianna Coor – but it wasn't enough to best the Rams on this night.
Apriel Barnette notched nine points for the Rams and Alaya Fenderson scored six fourth quarter points.
New Bern did its best to cap a spirited comeback and was as close as three points before the Rams buckled down and thwarted the Bears' momentum.
Dyer and Kierra Fleming controlled the boards in the game for the Rams, limiting the Bears' second chances.

Three teachers from Troup County joined a group of LaGrange College education graduate students as they spent a portion of their summer studying the education system in England.
Melissa Stanley of Callaway High School and Christine Crenshaw and Carla Cook of Rosemont Elementary School are graduates of the college's education department.
"It was such a delight to travel with Carla, Christine and Melissa," said Dr. Sharon Livingston, assistant professor and director of assessment at the college. "Their optimism and energy are contagious. These three are dedicated teachers who know the value of lifelong learning and continuously strive to make education better for their students."
Crenshaw, who teaches first grade at Rosemont, said the trip was a way to observe teachers in another country.
"It was so interesting to see how England's educational system works," she said. "I've started using some of their practices in my own classroom."
Cook, a kindergarten teacher at Rosemont, said this was the second trip she's taken with the education department.
A math teacher at Callaway High, Stanley said this was her second trip to England with the college group.
"Returning to England was like visiting an old friend, inviting and comforting," she said. "I particularly enjoyed touring the schools, engaging with the students and faculty there, sharing ideas and common educational concerns and joys. Of course, the friendships that are forged through the shared experiences of travel are irreplaceable."
Dr. Don Livingston, chair of the education department, said the trip was part of a class for Education Specialist in Teacher Leadership candidates.
"These students are enrolled in a Comparative Education course where they study the British education systems through seminars, school visits and special presentations by (British) faculty."
Livingston said this was the second year the group visited Harlaxton College in Grantham, England.
"We plan to do this trip every year," he said. "Our students tell us that actually seeing the British schools in person helps solidify what they've learned in class."
A four-year liberal arts and sciences college affiliated with the United Methodist Church, LaGrange College is consistently ranked in the top 10 among Southern schools by U.S.News & World Report. It is the oldest private institution of higher learning in Georgia and has an enrollment of more than 900 students.

How Migrating Customer Data from Legacy CRM to Salesforce is Like Moving to a New Home
Posted on October 30, 2012 by Jakki Geiger
After returning from Dreamforce, I learned that two of my friends were moving to new homes. They used different approaches to moving their belongings and had vastly different experiences once they moved in. This made me think of the different approaches companies use when migrating customer data from a legacy CRM system to Salesforce and the impact these approaches have on their user experience when they go live.
One friend, let's call her "Jane" is not the most organized person. Her goal was to get her family's belongings into the new house as quickly as possible. Room by room, they packed all of their belongings into boxes and shipped them to their new home.

Women's Basketball Falls to Coker in Opener
November 9, 2013
HARTSVILLE, SC – In their regular season opener, the Pfeiffer women's basketball team (0-1) fell to Coker (1-0) by a final score of 71-57 on Saturday afternoon. Carter Williams paced the Falcons with 14 points on 5-of-6 shooting from the field, including knocking down 4-of-5 attempts from the three point line.
Tanesha Stenson posted a double double for the Cobras, scoring 11 points and grabbing 10 rebounds and adding six assists. Four different players scored in double figures for Coker, led by 14 off the bench from Priscilla Fenty.
Pfeiffer shot 38 percent from the field but knocked down 54 percent from long distance. The Falcons were undone by 22 turnovers in the contest. Lauren White pulled down 10 boards and had four blocks in her Pfeiffer debut and Amy Steller added nine points and three rebounds in 15 minutes of action.
The Falcons got to the free throw line a staggering 32 times, but converted only 56.3 percent from the charity stripe. Coker also struggled, going 8-for-15 (53.3 percent) from the line.
The Cobras used a 14-3 run in the first half and pushed the lead to as many as 17 in the first half. Coker went into the break with a 36-21 lead.
The lead was extended to 59-35 at the 8:45 mark of the second half before Williams knocked down her fourth three of the day. Pfeiffer ended the game on a 12-4 run but ran out of time.
The Falcons return to action on Tuesday evening as they host Catawba at 7:30 p.m. in their home opener.

CARSON, Calif. – In his first appearance with the LA Galaxy since May 19, left back Todd Dunivant felt back to his old self—for the most part.
After being sidelined with a nagging left leg strain, Dunivant started LA's scoreless draw against the Portland Timbers on Wednesday and went a complete 90 minutes for the Galaxy. Showing no signs of the injury that kept him on the shelf for three matches, Dunivant's presence was critical as LA shut down the Timbers offense.
"I felt great. Physically I felt good, and my fitness is still coming along," said Dunivant. "The last 20 [minutes] I started getting a little fatigued, but other than that I felt great"
Barring any late complications, Dunivant will resume his position on the left side of the Galaxy defense in Sunday's SuperClásico and according to center back A.J. DeLaGarza; his return is a welcome sight.
"He's a big part of our back four," said DeLaGarza. "[He is] a veteran, and a guy who can get up on the attack and get some good balls, and just a leader in general."
CARSON, Calif. – It has taken some time, but center back Tommy Meyer has begun to show flashes of the confident rookie that helped the LA Galaxy to their MLS Cup triumph last year.
With Omar Gonzalez away on international duty for the past month, Meyer has racked up four starts in all competitions. The results didn't go Meyer's way as LA went 0-3-1 in four matches while conceding 10 goals, but the second-year defender saved his best performance for last in LA's scoreless draw with the Portland Timbers on Wednesday.
Alongside A.J. DeLaGarza in central defense, Meyer was tidy as he made 10 clearances as well as a key block in the 61st minute of a Ryan Johnson shot from close range. Following a difficult stretch of appearances, Meyer felt like he was back to his old self on Wednesday.
"Tonight, I felt back to where I was last season as far as physically and reading the game. I felt tonight was the best game that I've played," said Meyer. "I think we did a good job staying connected and talking throughout the whole game, keeping Rafa [Garcia] right in front of us, and [Juninho] at midfield helping us win balls, I think that helped out alot. We were moving well as a group I thought, for the most part, throughout the game. That gives us the chance to win the ball and get the ball up to our forwards."
Although the results weren't great, DeLaGarza admitted that the second-year center back is still continuing to grow.
"It's his first full action for the first part of the year. He's still learning and we're still learning how to play together," said DeLaGarza. "We played together a little bit last year and he was with Omar [Gonzalez] late last year. We still have to learn about each other and we've got a long way to go with that."
CARSON, Calif. -- Ever steadily, things are coming together for LA Galaxy midfielder Robbie Rogers.
Rogers made his first start in a Galaxy uniform since joining the club in late-May. The start was Rogers first since Sept. 28, 2011 when he was still a member of the Columbus Crew.
As for his impression of his performance? Rogers felt like he was at ease and even admitted taht he felt he could have played longer than the 69 minutes that he earned on Wednesday.
LAGalaxy.com's Larry Morgan spoke to Rogers and several of his Galaxy teammates for this story.
More from Rogers below...
(On how rewarding it was to start…)
ROGERS: "It felt good to have a proper start, to get back out there and to be out there from the beginning. I still think I have a long ways to go, but there were flashes where I was getting my legs back and I was moving quite well at times. That's good to see after putting in a lot of hard work. But things are slowly coming back."
(On his impressions of Portland…)
ROGERS: "They're a great team. I thought they played really well. It just wasn't quite there at the end for us. We were a little off. But I'm excited to play for these guys."
(On whether he had any nerves about starting…)
ROGERS: "Surprisingly it was more just eager, eager to get here today. No nerves. I think I was more nervous for my very first game at home depot. I was more excited today."
(On how he close he feels to match fitness…)
ROGERS: "I think I probably need two more games to really get flying around and not be worrying about my fitness. Actually I felt pretty good in the second half. I actually felt I could have played a little longer, which surprised me."
(On his thoughts on the Galaxy…)
ROGERS: "A really talented team and a great locker room. A very comfortable and positive setting we have in here. Something we had in Columbus in 2008. I think that makes a great team actually."
(On the match against Chivas USA…)
ROGERS: "I think this next game for us is a huge game before we go on the road again. I think we're going to be a dangerous team; it's just a matter of time. When guys are all clicking, it's going to be interesting to see how well we do. Some guys are coming back, obviously my first start, we're missing a few guys."
(On whether he's ready to start again on Sunday…)
ROGERS: "I hope I get another chance."
(On how he feels getting into the swing of things…)
ROGERS: "I still have a lot of hard work ahead of me to really get fit, 100 percent. To see the improvement I'm slowly making week by week in the games it's great for me to feel like the hard work is going somewhere. I'm excited for the next game and I'm excited to move on the following week."
CARSON, Calif. – It was a historic night for LA Galaxy midfielder Juninho, who made his 100th start for the club and notched his 102nd appearance for the team.
Reaching 100 appearances is a tradition in Brazil that includes a pregame ceremony and the player donning the number 100 kit for the match. Juninho didn't get to change his number for the match against Portland, but he was given a hardy chant from the Angel City Brigade supporters group during the 19th minute of the game.
"It was unbelievable. It was a great night," Juninho told LA Galaxy Insider. "The result wasn't good, but I love my fans. I've been here for four years and I don't have the words to thank them for all the support that they've given to me."
The Brazilian stalwart was tidy in central midfield as he, and partner Rafael Garcia, limited chances for the visiting Portland Timbers. Although LA was solid in the back, the Galaxy created little going forward as they repeatedly saw their attacking chances snuffed out by the Timbers.
"Our back line was perfect and allowed no goals, but up front tonight, we were very poor," said Juninho. "We just need to train and get better."
And LA and the Brazilian midfielder will have a chance to get better on Sunday when they take on moribund Chivas USA, who are winless in their last six MLS games. But despite Chivas' dismal record as of late, Juninho is not taking them lightly.
"Chivas is the Clásico. It's very bad when you lose in a Clásico," he said. "We're in the same stadium, so we're going to fight and hopefully take the result."

— Adam Serrano (@LAGalaxyInsider) June 20, 2013
CARSON, Calif. -- LA Galaxy gained a shutout in a scoreless draw against the Portland Timbers, but created little going forward in a dull showing.
Following the match, Galaxy head coach Bruce Arena addressed the team's showing.
(On the defensive performance...)
ARENA: "I thought that we defended well for the most part. There are some things that we can certainly do better, but I'm not sure that Portland had a whole lot of chances tonight. That was good. At the other end of the field of the field, I thought [Portland's] center backs played well and, obviously, [Donovan] Ricketts is not easy to beat. This was going to be a game where we had to jump on any kind of opportunity that we got and we were half a step off for most of the night. Portland' posture is pretty obvious when they go on the road; they're trying to get a point. They were certainly pleased getting a point."
(On Robbie Rogers' start...)
ARENA: "He's making progress. He has a long way to go, but that's the only way that he can do it is giving him games. I thought that his first 15-20 minutes were very tentative, but he got better and got into a rhythm. The last part of the first half and the second half, he got a little bit better. He's still going to take some time."
(On Rafael Garcia…)
ARENA: "I thought that Rafa did well. He had a good game. I thought that he played well."
(On what he said to the team in terms of their offensive performance after the match…)
ARENA: "In terms of their offensive performance? I didn't highlight that. There's nothing to elaborate on, I didn't say anything to them. What's there to elaborate?
CARSON, Calif. – The eyes of the soccer world are fixed to Brazil this month for the 2013 Confederations Cup, which serves as the dry run for next year's World Cup.
The LA Galaxy have also kept tabs on the tournament especially Italian goalkeeper Carlo Cudicini has been keeping a keen eye on his home nation.
"I was happy to see Italy play a good game against a good Mexico team, I was less happy about the Nigeria and Tahiti game," said Cudicini. "For us Italians, it was a good a good game."
Cudicini was also asked about his impressions of controversial Italian star Mario Balotelli, who is known as much for his histrionics off the field than he is for his brilliance on it.
"I think that he's a great player and talented player. Sometime his head switches off for some reason and he makes silly mistakes like the two yellow cards in World Cup qualifying two weeks ago. It looks like a child trying to learn things and everyone forgives him for a lot of stuff because he's a great talent. Hopefully, the more that he plays and the more responsibility that he has on his shoulders then the more that he'll grow up."
In this video preview by LAGalaxy.com, Landon Donovan, Robbie Keane and Todd Dunivant discuss the Galaxy's match against the Portland Timbers.
Check it out below...
Omar Gonzalez went 90 minutes as the United States defeated Honduras 1-0 to solidify their place atop the CONCACAF Hexagonal.
Jozy Altidore scored the lone goal in 73rd minute to give the Americans their third consecutive victory in World Cup Qualifying.
Gonzalez earned relatively positive reviews from ESPN, MLSsoccer.com, and the New York Times.
Highlights of the game are below.
The LA Galaxy Under-18's learned their draw for the upcoming Development Academy playoffs, which begin on June 24 in Frisco, Texas.
LA was drawn in group six alongside the New England Revolution, San Jose Earthquakes, and Dallas Texans. The Texans are a local power in the region and boast Galaxy defensive stalwart Omar Gonzalez as one of their many illustrious alumni. From the four team group, only the first place team will advance to the next round. In preparation for the tournament, Galaxy U-18 coach Alex Yi has been trying to replicate the hot and windy conditions that his squad will face in Frisco by having his team train in the city of Visalia in the San Joaquin Valley.
When a schedule is released, it will be posted here.
Think LA can advance? Hope LA's U-18's can enjoy success at Development Academy playoffs?

CARSON, Calif. –Following the LA Galaxy's final training session before Wednesday's match against the Portland Timbers, Bruce Arena addressed the media on what he expects from Portland and provided an update on several injured players.
During his comments, Arena confirmed that he was optimistic that Robbie Keane and Todd Dunivant, each who have missed several games due to international duty and injuries respectively, will be in the lineup on Wednesday. The Galaxy coach also noted that Landon Donovan was "stepped on" in a play that occurred prior to the opening of practice, but he was not concerned about his availability for the Portland match.
Arena's comments are below…
(On the impact of Pablo Mastroeni…)
ARENA: "I've known Pablo for a number of years. He's a good player despite his age, I feel like he's got a lot of games still left in the league. It's going to take him a couple weeks to get him fit, but we know that he's a good player. He's an experienced player, a player of quality, and we think that he's going to help us in our central midfield."
(On whether or not he's dreamed up his lineup for Portland…)
ARENA: "I've dreamed about tomorrow's game. Yes, I have."
(On whether the lineup will have any surprises…)
ARENA: "No, we have some players coming back, obviously, Robbie Keane is back and I would expect him to be playing for sure. We'll finalize everything today for the rest of the group."
(On who he'll opt for in goal…)
ARENA: "Cudicini has been playing the whole season, if you haven't figured that out. We expect him to be our goalkeeper as well."
(On whether the team is optimistic about Todd Dunivant starting…)
ARENA: "Yes."

Daugaard -- who signed the measure Friday -- predicted not many school districts would take advantage of the authorization and give the green light to pistol-packing teachers or so-called security sentinels from the community, The New York Times reported.
Teachers and volunteers will be required to undergo an intensive training program similar to what police officers receive.
"I think it does provide the same safety precautions that a citizen expects when a law enforcement officer enters a premises," Daugaard told the Times.
The National Rifle Association proposed armed police officers on school campuses nationwide as the best way to prevent a repeat of the Sand Hook Elementary School massacre in Newtown, Conn., in December.
Critics and advocates of gun control immediately balked at the idea of bringing more loaded guns into schools.
Proponents of the South Dakota bill -- the first of its kind in the United States -- said the idea was not particularly radical in their state where many kids are taught at a young age to hunt and handle guns safely.
The author of the bill, freshman Republican Rep. Scott Craig, said he hoped South Dakota could reassure doubters.
"It is safer than they think, it's proactive and it's preventive," he said.

Research Summary
My research program focuses on cell transplantation strategies to repair the damaged spinal cord. We have shown that a number of cell types can both remyelinate the demyelinated CNS and encourage CNS axonal regeneration. Our laboratory utilizes a number of cellular and electrophysiological techniques to study cell transplant-induced repair.
While most of our work utilizes rodent models, we also use nonhuman primates. Although direct surgical implantation of cells is a reasonable approach for cell delivery in single lesion sites, multiple sclerosis is complicated by numerous demyelinated sites within the CNS. We have shown that intravenous delivery of a bone marrow cell fraction enriched with mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) can home to a demyelinated lesion in the rodent spinal cord and remyelinate the damaged axons.
This suggests the intriguing prospect that methods could be developed for autologous intravenous delivery of cells that could repair demyelinated lesions scattered throughout the CNS. We are aggressively studying this approach in various demyelinating lesion models.

The Bel-Art Scienceware Spinvane triangular stir bar has a white Teflon (PTFE) casing and an internal magnet made from alnico V (an alloy of aluminum, nickel, iron, and cobalt) for laboratory stirring applications. The flat triangular shape has a molded, cross-mounted magnetic bar in its center and acts like a vane when stirring liquids in conical tubes and vials. The magnet sits inside a Teflon (polytetrafluoroethylene, or PTFE) casing, which is chemically inert, can be used with corrosive chemicals, and helps reduce friction and wear while spinning. The casing material is FDA approved for use in food, drug, and cosmetic applications.
Magnetic stir bars (sometimes called stirring bars, spin bars, or fleas) are used to stir a liquid or solution in biological, chemical, medical, and research laboratory applications. The stir bar is placed inside a container of liquid or solution that is seated on a magnetic stirrer (also called a magnetic mixer), which is a laboratory device that creates a rotating magnetic field using a rotating magnet or multiple stationary electromagnets. The rotating magnetic field causes the bar to spin, which stirs the liquid or solution. Stirring bars are offered in a variety of sizes and shapes, and they are encased in materials such as glass or plastic to help prevent contamination of the liquid or solution, to reduce friction, and to provide resistance to chemicals, abrasion, and heat. The bar may have a pivot ring or pivot point to minimize contact with the container, reduce friction, and improve its spinning. The size and shape of the container and the volume and viscosity of the liquid or solution to be stirred determine which stir bar shape, size, and casing will suit a particular application.
Bel-Art Products manufactures scientific products, including labware, testing equipment, and safety supplies, under the Bel-Art and Scienceware brands. The company, founded in 1946, is headquartered in Wayne, NJ.

A Leitchfield woman, Carol Helphenstine, 64, was killed in a head-on collision on the morning of Tuesday, January 14.
At around 6:50 a.m., the Leitchfield Fire Department, Grayson County Sheriff's Office, and Grayson County Emergency Medical Services responded to a report of a two-vehicle injury crash near the 4000 block of Lilac Road in Leitchfield.
According to a press release from the Kentucky State Police, who also investigated the crash, a 2011 Kia, driven by Helphenstine, was travelling south on Lilac Road, and a 1997 Jeep Grand Cherokee, driven by Lucia Taylor, 16, of Leitchfield, was travelling north on Lilac Road.
Taylor's Jeep reportedly crested a hill that was covered in black ice, lost control of her vehicle, and crossed the center line where it collided head-on with Helphenstine's Kia, the release read.
The Jeep then slid off the east side of the road and overturned onto its side where it came to a rest, and the Kia slid into a ditch on the west side of Lilac Road where it came to a rest, according to the release.
Helphenstine was pronounced dead at the scene by the Grayson County Coroner's Office, according to the release.
Taylor, who is six-months pregnant, was transported to Twin Lakes Regional Medical Center by GC EMS to be airlifted to the University of Louisville Hospital for further medical attention for accident-related injuries, First Assistant Leitchfield Fire Chief Tim Duvall said.
Duvall also said at the scene that both drivers had to be extricated from the vehicles.
According to Grayson County Sheriff Rick Clemons, traffic on Lilac Road was shut down for approximately two-and-a-half to three hours as a result of the crash.
The Grayson County Sheriff's Office and KSP were assisted in the accident investigation by the Leitchfield Police Department.
This accident is currently still under investigation by KSP Detective Terry Whittaker.

Hagel says US military must shrink to face new era
Tuesday - 2/25/2014, 11:18am EST
AP National Security Writer
WASHINGTON (AP) -- Looking beyond America's post-9/11 wars, Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel on Monday proposed shrinking the Army to its smallest size in 74 years, closing bases and reshaping forces to confront a "more volatile, more unpredictable" world with a more nimble military.
The nation can afford a smaller military so long as it retains a technological edge and the agility to respond on short notice to crises anywhere on the globe, Hagel said. He said the priorities he outlined reflect a consensus view among America's military leaders, but Republicans in Congress were quick to criticize some proposed changes.
In a speech at the one-year mark of his tenure as Pentagon chief, Hagel revealed many details of the defense spending plan that will be part of the 2015 budget that President Barack Obama will submit to Congress next week. Hagel described it as the first Pentagon budget to fully reflect the nation's transition from 13 years of war.
At the core of his plan is the notion that after wars in Iraq and Afghanistan that proved longer and more costly than foreseen, the U.S. military will no longer be sized to conduct large and protracted ground wars. It will put more emphasis on versatile, agile forces that can project power over great distances, including in Asia.
Hagel stressed that such changes entail risk. He said, "We are entering an era where American dominance on the seas, in the skies and in space can no longer be taken for granted."
However, budget constraints demand that spending be managed differently from the past, with an eye to cutting costs across a wide front, including in areas certain to draw opposition in the Congress, he said.
He proposed, for example, a variety of changes in military compensation, including smaller pay raises, a slowdown in the growth of tax-free housing allowances and a requirement that retirees and some families of active-duty service members pay a little more in health insurance deductibles and co-pays.
"Although these recommendations do not cut anyone's pay, I realize they will be controversial," Hagel said, adding that the nation cannot afford the escalating cost of military pay and benefit packages that were enacted during the war years.
"If we continue on the current course without making these modest adjustments now, the choices will only grow more difficult and painful down the road," he said.
Although Congress has agreed on an overall number for the military budget in fiscal 2015 -- just under $500 billion -- there are still major decisions to be made on how that money should be spent to best protect the nation.
Early reaction from Republicans in Congress was negative.
"I am concerned that we are on a path to repeat the mistakes we've made during past attempts to cash in on expected peace dividends that never materialized," said Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida, a possible presidential contender in 2016.
"What we're trying to do is solve our financial problems on the backs of our military, and that can't be done," said Rep. Howard "Buck" McKeon of California, chairman of the House Armed Services Committee.
Another proposal likely to draw fire on Capitol Hill is Hagel's call for a new round of domestic military base closings in 2017. In the years following the last round, in 2005, members of Congress fought to protect bases in their home districts and states, arguing that the process does not yield as much savings as advertised.
Among other changes Hagel proposed:
-- The active-duty Army would shrink from today's 522,000 soldiers to between 440,000 and 450,000 -- the smallest number since 1940 when the nation was gearing up to enter World War II. The Army currently is scheduled to be reduced to 490,000.
The Army's post-World War II low was 480,000 in 2001, according to figures provided by the service. In 1940 the Army had just 267,000 active-duty members, but that number surged to 1.46 million the following year as America prepared for war in Europe and the Pacific.
-- The Army National Guard would drop from 355,000 soldiers to 335,000 by 2017, and the Army Reserve would drop by 10,000, to 195,000. The National Guard also would send its Apache attack helicopters to the active-duty Army in exchange for Black Hawk helicopters more suitable for domestic disaster relief missions.
-- The Marine Corps would shrink from 190,000 to 182,000.
-- The Navy would keep its 11 aircraft carriers but "lay up," or temporarily remove from active service, 11 of its 22 cruisers while they are modernized. The Navy would reduce from 52 to 32 its purchase of littoral combat ships, which are smaller vessels designed to operate closer to shore.

Huge bison carcass is part of rich history of species at Pendleton
The newest addition to the San Diego Natural History Museum's collection of mammals comes from Camp Pendleton.
The base donated a 1,400-pound bison carcass earlier this month. Base officials discovered it in September. They covered it with a chicken-wire blanket to protect it from scavengers until it could be transported to the museum.
The bison is of particular value to the museum because it had been locally extinct in the Southern California area and provides a representative sample of its species, said Scott Tremor, mammalogist at the San Diego Natural History Museum.
"The more specimens we have, the better we can separate species and identify them," Tremor said.
The skeleton, once cleaned, is expected to be used for research and teaching by visiting scientists from around the world.
The animal was part of a herd of an estimated 120 bison that roam the central part of the 125,000-acre base, said Jim Asmus, wildlife biologist in the base's Game Warden's Office. The last bison count was done by helicopter in 2011, with 120 bison spotted.
The herd started with 14 bison that the San Diego Zoo brought to the base in the early 1970s.
To some, it's a surprise that bison live on the military installation.
"The bison roam, breed and eat grass," Asmus said.
The herd grazes in the grasslands and patches of oak woodlands in a remote artillery training area of the base.
"The Camp Pendleton herd offers substantial value for bison conservation because they are isolated from animals within the native range of plains bison, and they don't have contact with domestic grazing animals," Asmus said. "So if there was ever a serious disease that decimated bison populations in the Plains states, this herd could be a breeding stock."
The number of Plains bison in conservation herds was estimated at 20,504 in 2008, according to the International Union for Conservation of Nature. An estimated half-million bison live in the U.S., including those raised for meat production on private ranches
The bison, also known as American Buffalo, are not to be confused with the cattle that once inhabited the base area in the 19th and early 20th century, when it was a cattle ranch called Rancho Santa Margarita y Las Flores. Although the base retained the cattle brand as its logo to pay tribute to the area's history, the cattle are gone.
The day the bison came on base is a historical moment that is being preserved through an account given by William Taylor, the man who was in charge of the base's natural resources for 28 years, from 1948 to 1976.
"The Bison Story" was recently added to the annals of Camp Pendleton history as part of the oral history program coordinated by the base museum officer, Faye Jonason.
Taylor recalled being asked whether the base could take a few bison back in the early 1970s.
"I got a call from the mammal curator down at the zoo," Taylor, 100, told Jonason in an interview two months ago.

This is a new trend I could live without!
I was just in Barney's New York (in Boston) purchasing a bottle of Editions de Parfums Frederic Malle Vetiver Extraordinaire. They informed me that Malle will be raising prices significantly across the board within the next few weeks. Get it while it's cheap ;')
My 1.7 oz. bottle was $150.00 today.

Ive recently noticed that some have gone up in price , not all , just some
I suppose there were too many riff raff buying his scents-- remember the comment about not wanting to smell like one's maid!
But this pushes Vetiver Extra. away from my plebian pursestrings, and for that I am truly saddened.
For sale. Carnal Flower and Vero Profumo Onda.
This must be one of the inevitable consequences of the recovering global economy.
The sales of luxurious goods & expensive cars have increased significantly during the last few months and the brand owners cannot contain their greed anymore. The pricing mantra has always been 'to get the maximum out of the customers pocket, that he's willing to pay'.
Come to think of it, who'd stop wearing Vetiver Extraordinaire or Carnal Flower just because the price went up by say 20%?
I've got one thing to say to them....
Still cheap as trash compared to Western European prices!
There goes getting that 50ml Géranium pour monsieur sometime in the future. At least anytime soon.
And i love this stuff!

For those who are interested --
You can still get most of the Frederic Malle 100ml bottles for around $165 + shipping [conversion from UK pound] from Les Senteurs. (after tax break for int'l customers) But yes, it seems FM's price has increased worldwide as you could get it for about $140 for 100ml shipped a month a go, which was quite a bargain IMO.
The FM scents I enjoy and don't have in my wardrobe are VE, French Lover, and the majestic Carnal Flower. Will I get them any time soon? Probably not!

It's really OK. Mallle can take those juices and spritz all of them up where the sun doesn't shine on for all i care. There are other equally if not more beautiful fragrances out there. Some of us have our heads screwed on right well enough not to be taken hostage by any fragrance house. Anyway if I love it, I'll buy it. 'Affordability' is a secondary consideration.
Btw, if a housekeeper wears a Malle fragrance, I must say she/he does have pretty discerning nose!

Let's see if this stops the riff-raff from wearing what they shouldn't...
I think i have so many fragrances at this moment at my wardrobe that if all niche and mainstream houses decide to increase suggestively their prices, if they depend of me to keep alive they'll die poor.
Some of the editions are so worth it ... Im sure that MR and Carnal Flower will always be with me . But saying that there really has to come a point where they price themselves out of the market , they should proceed with caution TBH
and here was the dicussion started by an outraged me back in 2006:

"It's not what you look like when you're doing what you're doing; it's what you're doing when you're doing what you look like you're doing."
News Flash!!! Mr. Malle, the only thing more inflated than your prices is your ego! Get a grip. I hate to rain on your parade, but the fragrances I have sampled from you, are at best middle of the road creations!
Don't panic. Just stay calm, and reload....
I think the main concern shouldn't be the price increase but whether or not any of them have been reformulated...
well, can't say its a suprise but certainly impudence, looking at their limit stressing prises even before this raise.
Well, prices went up again at the beginning of this month.
So what do you guys suggest is the best/price wise place to buy right now. Im in US and looking for 50ml
I smell marshmallows!
The € prices on the French version of their website seem not to have changed. Unless the website has not been updated, it's possible that the $ increase is due to a change in the exchange rate.
Im sorry but their stuff is not THAT good. Raising prices will not be helping their cause...
I just got off Barney's website and I see that Malle prices have gone up about 20% since I checked a week or two ago. I was going to pop for MR, but now that it is 20 % more I will settle for a decant and forget about a bottle. His stuff is not that good to warent these prices. What was the name of that MR smellalike...oh yeah, Meharees, or something like that.

Five that I am enjoying right now
1) Sel de Vetiver by The Different Company
2) Spiritueuse Double Vanille by Guerlain
3) Bois des Iles by Chanel
4) Devin by Aramis
5) Coromandel by Chanel
Holy crap, as if L'eau d'Hiver (the only FM I want) was already overpriced for what it is. Dammit.
I really hope this totally backfires on them
Are you seriously thinking that this is a play done by Frederic Malle?
The recent upswing in prices are solely becuase of the internationally weakened dollar.
As far as I know, a 3.4oz Musc Ravageur is still €165 from their site, so it's the same.
However, the dollar has plummeted recently, loosing its purchasing power by over 30%, even in the last few months. This is where the discrepancy lies.
It's a complicated and bizarre business, a million variables at work. With things becoming more and more synthetic it's becoming even more bizarre. Frederic Malle has little to do with it. Aromachemicals are big business.
It's generally recognized that only about 3 to 5 percent of a perfume's price tag goes for its smell.

Real beauty: 1) Frederic Malle 1-20 2) Chanel Egoiste 3) YSL Opium pour Homme edp 4) TF Noir de Noir
Noses: 1) Jacques Cavallier 2) Maurice Roucel
It would appear they are pricing themselves away from the Chav scum so their brand doesn't end up mullered like Burberry (clothing) and Stone Island have ... and I would say Creed now.
Probably looking for the sort of people who can afford to buy Rolex watches, but choose not to.
Dude I saw this thread and started to panic b/c I'm planning on buying Musc Ravageur this fall. Then I realized that this thread is form 2011 and the price hikes have already happened haha.

Art for sale = business.
If your art is any good, it will sell. If it doesn't sell, that's the best way to get the hint as to what kind of "artist" you are.
As for the price, the free market will best determine that, as it does with most things. It's the seller who needs to determine the best price point to maximize profit. No point in getting upset when the price goes up... if you can't swing it, there are millions of other options.
Seasonal favorites:
1. Xerjoff - Nio
2. Creed - Aventus
3. Tom Ford - Grey Vetiver
4. The Different Company - De Bachmakov
5. Dior - Homme Sport 2008
6. Montale - Aoud Legacy
7. Creed - Virgin Island Water
8. by Kilian - Straight to Heaven
9. Creed - Original Cologne
10. Clive Christian - 1872 for Men
they just raised their prices to a ridiculous level already....geranium p m is 240 as is Bois de o. both are pretty weak skin scents for the $$$
And what fragrance house isn't raising its prices these days? They will do it and they are sure that the fragrance community will continue to purchase their products.
I like Portrait of a Lady a lot and Musc Raveguer, but I am appalled that they are charging EUR320 for POAL and EUR214 for Musc Ravageur at the Joyce in Hong Kong, this is at least 30-40%% higher than your list price on the internet. At this price, I could be purchasing Amouage Attars / Clive Christensen or 2 bottles of niche perfumes at the price of one Frederic Malle. I wonder if FM increase prices again (its been up 30% since my last purchase 1.5 years back) or is Joyce grossly marking up prices? This makes a customer such as I think that, despite really like their fragrances may not make a purchase because there are other alternatives at the price point.
If Fredric Malle did not raise prices, then I hope this query draws attention because this actually makes their fragrance line less competitive. Recently, Tom Ford' Private Line has launched at another mall in Hong Kong (effectively no longer exclusive at Tom Ford stores) and I noticed that they cut their prices by 3-5% , admittedly, their prices are higher, but their quality is lower, but this move of theirs has made their line more attractive.
This also makes me question if I am selling my GPM, Noir Epices, Carnal Flower etc at too low a price given their price increase.
Old thread.
Get your FM fix from the internet. Essenza Nobile in Germany sells FMs at the same price as on the FM website and for orders over 250 you get free shipping to HK. And don't forget to ask for the price included VAT to be refunded (19% in Germany), it may come in handy in case you have to pay import duties.
I've yet to own another Frederic Malle and severely doubt this will ever happen. But when so much (unjustified) reverence is heaped upon one house, you can't blame it for wanting to take financial advantage of both the deluded perfumistas and naive housemaids with money to burn...

GARETH DUNCAN talks to Matt Giteau about the Tri-Nations and Jake White's appointment as Brumbies coach.
You're set to become the 11th Wallaby to play 100 Tests. How satisfying will that be for you?
I've really enjoyed my career in Australia and with the Wallabies. Experiencing one Test would be enough for most players, so playing 10 seasons at this level is a special achievement and one I'm very proud of. My favourite moments are making my Test debut back in 2002, playing in the 2003 World Cup final and beating the Boks in Bloemfontein for the first time in 47 years.
Your father was a rugby league specialist. How did you get into union?
It was because of my bad behaviour as a kid! When I was at school I had to transfer to a private college in Canberra because of it, and they didn't play league there. They only played union and I hated it. But that was the only footy I could play, so it grew on me. I got used to the culture and style of play, so I eventually started enjoying it.
You started your career at scrumhalf. Why did you switch to flyhalf and inside centre?
I was picked at scrumhalf when I was younger because of my small stature. But when I made the Brumbies team, the flyhalf picked up an injury, and I filled the gap. I did well and it was decided that I would have an extended run there. [Then Wallabies coach] Eddie Jones was impressed with me at flyhalf, so that's where he picked me to play for the Wallabies. I've experimented at scrumhalf at international level a few times, but have played mostly at flyhalf or inside centre.
What is your preferred position?
Flyhalf or inside centre; it doesn't matter as long as I'm in the team. At flyhalf, I enjoy controlling the game and getting my hands on the ball more. At 12, I get more room and space to run and stab a few attacks at the opposition. It's not really a hassle rotating between the two positions. There are different tactics before each game, so I prepare for the job the team needs me to do.
Who have you connected well with on your outside?
At the Brumbies, Christian Lealiifano is a talented guy and I've built a good relationship with scrumhalf Josh Valentine. Berrick Barnes and I formed a good combination at Test level for a few seasons and Quade Cooper and I have done well together more recently. But my all-time favourite combination is the one I had with Stephen Larkham and Stirling Mortlock. We played five seasons together at the Brumbies and Wallabies, which allowed us to settle and become familiar with each other's games. Stephen was brilliant at flyhalf as he created so much space for the midfield.
Does size matter?
I was one of the first small players to emerge at senior level, and it was seen as an abnormal thing back then. But what I lacked in size, I always made up for with my speed, agility and fitness. I found a way for size not to matter. It's good to see more and more smaller players emerging today and proving they can play well at the highest level.
Why have the Brumbies struggled in Super Rugby since last making the play-offs in 2004?
I wouldn't say we have struggled over the years. Some results just didn't go our way and we made some poor decisions that cost us. I don't have insight as to what happened when I spent three seasons at the Force, but from what I've seen this year, we lack experience. There's some great talent here, they just need time.
Will the appointment of Jake White as coach improve things?
He has the credentials having won a World Cup, so I'm sure he can take the team forward. Jake will also add freshness to the team and lead them in a new direction with his ideas. The Brumbies will lose a few senior players, so he'll need to sign some decent experienced replacements to add depth in certain positions.
Is there too much rugby being played?
Because it's a World Cup year, there won't be too many complaints. The players will want to get in as much rugby as possible heading into the tournament. But looking towards next season, I do think there's too much rugby scheduled. Super Rugby has been extended and the Tri-Nations will be extended, and there will also be inbound and outbound tours. That's too much rugby and players will burn out.
With the World Cup later this year, will the Tri-Nations be taken seriously?
No doubt. The rivalry between the Wallabies, All Blacks and Springboks is strong. No one wants to lose. Some guys who are struggling with injuries will be rested but I don't think teams will wrap their best players in cotton wool. It will be the last top-level preparation for the World Cup, so the coaches will need to field their best teams.
There's a perception that the Wallabies have a world-class run-on side, but they lack depth. Do you agree?
Australian rugby has always struggled with depth because of the many sporting codes in the country. But there has been so much talent coming through the system in the past two seasons, especially in Super Rugby, so I'm sure the Wallabies will have a strong 30-man World Cup squad.
What impact has Robbie Deans had on the team?
He's been influential in creating depth and bringing the young players through. He's also managed them properly by giving them the confidence and the advice they need. That's helped them cope and perform well at Test level.
Is Drew Mitchell's injury a big blow?
It was initially, but word is that he will be fully fit by September. Drew's a freakish player as he doesn't need a lot of time to get back into top form. He scored two tries in his first Super Rugby game against the Rebels and was outstanding. So missing out on the Tri-Nations won't be a major thing.
Who are the World Cup favourites?
The All Blacks, no doubt. They're tough to beat at home and have been No 1 in the world for a while. They were in excellent form last season and I'm sure they will carry it into this one.
Sonny Bill Williams will be your potential opposite number. How do you stop him?
He's had a great start to his rugby union career and his league experience and skills have helped him excel. Some players have struggled to stop him and his offload has added an extra dimension on attack. It will take a collective effort to stop that threat and shut him down. If your team-mates surround the tackler and anticipate the offload, it could provide your side with a counter-attacking opportunity.
How do you foresee the Wallabies faring in future?
I think they will become stronger as a team. They've extended the contracts of many younger and older players, and the more they play with each other, the better. They'll have one of the strongest rosters in world rugby.
Why have you decided to join Toulon in 2012?
I'm going to miss playing for the Wallabies, but I need a fresh challenge. I've been playing my footy in Australia for a long time, and I believe the switch to Toulon will be good for me. It'll be like featuring for the Barbarians as I'll get the opportunity to play with other internationals like Bakkies Botha and Jonny Wilkinson. I'm also going there to experience the French culture. I'm taking French lessons to help me settle in easily.
Will you be back to face the British & Irish Lions in 2013?
I've signed an 18-month deal with Toulon and I'll take that time to decide whether I'm still good enough and enjoying my rugby. If I am, I'll return and make myself available for the Wallabies. I need that desire to play.
