Memphis Grizzlies keep home court dreams alive with win over Mavericks, 103-97
DALLAS — The Grizzlies still need some aid if they are to earn home-court advantage in the first round of the playoffs.
That will come from the Los Angeles Clippers if starting the postseason in FedExForum is in the cards.
The Grizzlies also know they need a little help if they are to make a serious run in the playoffs.
They are counting on strong, reliable bench play for that.
The Grizzlies' 103-97 victory over the Dallas Mavericks accomplished a few things Monday night in American Airlines Center — perhaps none more important than affording coach Lionel Hollins the luxury of playing his starters no more than 24 minutes with a hope that the reserves' confidence skyrocketed behind their game-changing performance.
Memphis' bench played the entire fourth quarter and turned a one-point game into a commanding lead. The Griz (55-26) trailed by 14 points in the first half but came back and kept their chances of grabbing home court in the playoffs alive mathematically.
"It worked out perfectly," Hollins said. "I thought in the first half our guys didn't come out and compete. They were treating it like an exhibition game. (But) I'm excited about the attitude we took into the second half and finished the game with. I was really pleased the second unit was able to finish the game. I didn't have to go back to anybody else, and (the reserves) all played well."
The Griz used a 9-0 run to take an 86-78 advantage midway through the final frame. A Keyon Dooling 3-pointer eventually gave Memphis its largest lead of the game at 97-87 with 2:31 left.
"Our intensity, energy and effort were all revved up," Dooling said. "Coach challenged us at halftime to play harder and with more force and we did that."
The Griz began to pull away from a seesaw affair when they combined defensive stops with consecutive scores. Memphis got a four-point play the hard way and took a lead after the rare sequence. Dooling connected on a 3-pointer and the officials called a foul on Dallas' Jae Crowder for wrestling Quincy Pondexter to the floor under the basket.
Pondexter converted the foul shot and the sequence left the Griz with an 81-78 lead.
The Griz entered the fourth quarter with a 68-67 lead because the starters played solid defense and began attacking the basket instead of settling for jump shots. The second unit fed off the starters' energy.
"We picked it up in the second half. The bench played great," reserve forward Darrell Arthur said. "It's definitely a big thing for the bench. We can't keep riding our starters the whole way. The bench has to step up, and we did a good job. We just have to come out and play with a lot of confidence."
The win puts pressure on the Clippers to win their final two regular-season games. Memphis can secure home court in the postseason by winning its regular-season finale Wednesday against Utah and with Los Angeles losing one of its two remaining contests.
"We've got to worry about us," Griz center Marc Gasol said. "Home court would be nice to have. But we're mentally tough enough to go anywhere in this league and win."
Memphis finished with season highs in points for the bench (64), second half (65) and fourth quarter (35).
Hot topic
Dooling finished with 13 points and made 4 of 5 3-pointers. Ed Davis chipped in with 11 points and 11 rebounds off the bench. The Griz had four players log more than 24 minutes off the bench. Hollins cautioned that won't be the case in the playoffs.
"I thought Ed Davis was outstanding. I thought Darrell Arthur was outstanding and Jerryd Bayless. Just about everybody we put in," Hollins said. "The key as we go forward is can those guys produce with less minutes. That's what happens (in the playoffs). The starters are going to play their minutes and we need the bench guys to be able to go in and player their minutes to the max."
Dooling said he understands where Hollins is coming from, and that's where his leadership skills should help.
"The key is the mindset," Dooling said. "We have to understand that we're just as valuable. We should take pride in doing our jobs. I want to go home tired. At some point guys (off the bench) are going to have to step up and make a shot or make a stop. Guys have to be mentally prepared for the moment."
The other guys
Former Griz guard O.J. Mayo's struggles continued. He had just two points on 1-of-6 shooting after entering the contest in a nine-game funk. Mayo has averaged nine points on 34.8-percent shooting during his slump.
Mavs coach Rick Carlisle benched Mayo early in the fourth quarter.
"He wasn't into it in the first half," Carlisle said. "We showed him some film at halftime where he was virtually just standing around defensively. We said 'Hey, we need you.' We tried to get him going. He just had a bad night. I guess I'll just write it off to that."
Who's hot
Backup guard Jerryd Bayless led the Grizzlies in scoring with 19 points on 6 of 13 shooting. Bayless also tied a career high with four steals. He's shown little rust after missing two games to nurse a sore knee.
Bayless has averaged 13.3 points and 38-percent shooting from 3-point range in three games since his return.
Who's not
Griz starting point guard Mike Conley continued his Mayo-like slide against the Mavs. Conley finished with six points on 3-of-8 shooting. He entered the game shooting 21.4 percent and averaging seven points in three games against Dallas this season. Those are Conley's worst averages against any opponent this season.
That's what he said
"I actually like to play. I would rather play than watch. I'll rest later." — Gasol, half-jokingly, when asked if he appreciated being able to rest due to the stellar play from the bench.
Outside the box score
The Griz set franchise records this season in road wins (24) and road winning percentage (.585), clinching a winning road record for the first time.
"It's awesome," Hollins said. "I'm excited about that."
Griz forward Zach Randolph is on the verge of leading the NBA in total offensive rebounds. Randolph only had one against the Mavs to raise his total to 304.
Indiana's Roy Hibbert and Cleveland's Tristan Thompson entered Monday night tied for second (296).
Randolph is trying to lead the league in offensive rebounds for the second time in his career after he grabbed a career-high 330 during the 2009-10 season.
By the numbers
20: Both teams went 20 of 25 from the free throw line
25: Points the Griz scored off 15 Mavs turnovers
50: Memphis out-rebounded Dallas, 50-36.

The food there is decent enough so to use the VIP for a few "free eats" and some shade just doesn't cut it you need to see Unadilla up close. The VIP tent will give you an overall view of a lot of the track but isn't close to anything. Save your money unless a seat on a folding chair under a tent is really important.
Skyshot last year.
they don't call it skyshot for nothing trust me and they even have a set of bleachers there now.
I knew I could count on you for feedback. Yes, I agree. Very familiar with the place but haven't been there since 1987 when Hannah was proving a point in the "Des Nations" on a 125. I remember when you couldn't think about bringing a girl to a race there due to some questionable types (okay, I was one of them). Anyway, the place has changed and the pics do it justice. $400 is lot to pay for some shade and a boxed lunch. Sorry no sistas that young.

By Coach K - Circumstances being what they are, Floyd Mayweather Jr. in alleged retirement and team De La Hoya saying no to a Antonio Margarito fight, we suggest Oscar build on his already great legacy and go out facing his biggest fear..
If the Golden Boy really wants to go out like a true champion, do something most fighters would never think of. Fight the opponent you truly fear or redeem a loss. The Golden Boy has only lost to a hand full. Trinidad in a fight most thought he won. Hopkins was just too big of a jump in weight and of coarse Sugar Shane Mosley. Facing Margarito could do it, even in a loss the Golden Boy would gain all kinds of accolades just for taking the challenge at this point of his sure legendary Hall of Fame career.
Beating Manny Pac Man," Pacquiao, who would have to blow up to meet De La Hoya at any weight, is just a payday or in his eyes a sure thing and a fight he should win. But! Whether it be a finally, a redemption or whatever, a rematch with the only person to defeat him twice would sell. It would put bodies in the seats and surely close a great career win or lose. Thats right De La Hoya vs Mosley is the fight! Not Felix Trinidad, not Pacquiao, not Ricky Hatton (too small), not Bernard Hopkins, (Kelly Pavliks probably going to stop him anyway) so true redemption is stepped on there. The Golden Boy should fight Margarito or take Mosley after he stops Ricardo Mayorga September 29th. All they have to do is just change the date to early next year.

The dilemmas of a would-be councillor
by Sian Berry Published
It's official then. Less than six months after the hurly-burly of the May local elections, the Labour councillor for my home ward of Kentish Town has resigned leaving two Lib Dems and a vacancy, so we will be having a by-election in December for which I have been selected as the candidate.
It couldn't have come in a better area for us in Camden. Kentish Town was our second best ward in May (after Highgate where we had two councillors elected) and I was only 157 votes behind the Labour councillor who won, so we'll be fighting hard to take this seat and think we have a good chance.
The council changed hands in May, with the Labour administration replaced by a Tory/LibDem coalition, so this election won't be about tactical voting but simply about who people want to represent them. And the people in Kentish Town are lovely, with a strong social conscience and very green (with a small g at least). They may very well want their third councillor to be an independent voice that keeps the coalition on their toes.
Winning will take a lot of hard work though. Outwitting the freakishly organised LibDem election machine will involve speaking to as many voters as possible on the doorstep, and competing with the implausible number of leaflets they will put out during the campaign. I dread to think of the amount of paper that will pass through my flat (our HQ) during the next six weeks. It's all recycled, and is even printed with vegetable inks these days, but it still feels a bit weird as a Green to be creating this much recycling.
Local election campaigns throw up a few dilemmas like this. But there isn't any effective way to reach the electorate other than to put leaflets through their doors, and it's clear from speaking to people that our credibility depends on dropping enough of our messages through their letterboxes.
The other quandary that rears its head at these times is what to do about those 'no junk mail' notices. There were some fascinating discussions on the Green email lists in the run-up to May on this subject. Some of us argue simply that election leaflets are not junk mail at all but essential to the democratic process.
Fair enough, but then you can lose your nerve when you get an email from a voter who is terribly annoyed at being leafleted 'by the Green Party of all people' when their 'no junk mail' sticker has been put up for virtuous ecological reasons. There has been a new rash of these stickers going up lately, provided by the Recycle Now campaign, and this makes things particularly tricky for us. Surely people who respond to a recycling drive are more likely to be Green voters? Ignoring these letterboxes feels like a real waste.
Oh dear, what to do? Perhaps we should just rely on our local paper, the Camden New Journal, which covers council business with as much fascination as the nationals cover the shenanigans at Westminster. When delivering in my street the other day, I discovered my favourite hand-made notice on one of the doors: 'No junk mail,' it said, followed by, 'NB the Camden New Journal is NOT junk mail!' Well said. Now I just have to persuade them to add to it, 'and Green Party newsletters'.

On 31 March 1998, restructuring of the California electricity industry brought the forces of the free market into a sector of the economy that had long been regulated. While the new market structure is similar to that of many other restructured markets in several respects, the competitive procurement of ancillary services by the California Independent System Operator (CAISO) is an almost unique feature. These markets are shown to exhibit extreme price volatility that has resulted in high procurement costs for California electricity consumers. An analysis of the amount of generation offered in the AS markets relative to the known purchase requirement of CAISO shows that withholding of capacity in certain hours has probably occurred and this suggests that generators have exercised market power. During the first of operation, one response to these problems by the CAISO Board of Governors, with the approval of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC), has been the imposition of a fixed price cap, the level of which has been adjusted between $250/MW and $750/MW. Subsequent to the period of study, CAISO has implemented several reforms intended to curb market power. Mechanisms used in other restructured electricity markets could have been considered, such as threats of regulatory action and use of hedge contracts.}, keywords = {electricity markets and policy group, energy analysis and environmental impacts department, transmission system reliability publications}, attachments = {http://eetd.lbl.gov/sites/all/files/publications/report-lbnl-46083.pdf}, author = {Afzal S.

|The Economic Water Model - a method and software program for assessing the impacts of storm water "green solutions" in urban areas
|Green, Christopher
|University of Missouri-Kansas City
|A new model is needed for storm water "green solutions" such as rain gardens, bioswales, and rain barrels. Estimating average annual runoff at the property level is essential to providing precise estimates on the effectiveness of stormwater "green solutions� like rain barrels and rain gardens. This information can also be used to implement a more accurate stormwater fee so municipalities can generate revenue to fund water infrastructure improvements, water conservation efforts, or storm water mitigation projects, while also providing a performance based rebate for those property owners who do install a storm water green solution. Rather than use modeling tools that utilize single design storms and runoff coefficients, site-specific GIS data can be input for a continuous runoff model whose focus is not conveyance but interception and infiltration. A distributed, deterministic Economic Water Model (EWM) method and modeling software was developed to estimate runoff using site-specific climate, soil, slope, and surface conditions extracted from GIS, weather station, and USDA soil data. Findings indicate that widespread implementation of rain barrels and rain gardens can have significant effects on urban runoff, especially in dense residential areas with small lot sizes. While this model also demonstrates that energy consumption is reduced at the municipal level through reduced combined sewer water treatment, the most significant water-related energy savings is from simple water-saving devices like low-flow faucet aerators. The results of this modeling can be used to implement and maintain more sustainable water infrastructure systems, economically and environmentally.

Stolen ancient rock carvings in Calif. found
Thursday - 1/31/2013, 7:21pm EST
BISHOP, Calif. (AP) - Five rock carvings that were sheared off and stolen from a sacred American Indian site in California's Sierra Nevada have been recovered but no arrests have been made, authorities said Thursday.
Authorities wouldn't provide details about the discovery, only that it was made this month after they received an anonymous tip in a letter. The tipster will be eligible for a $9,000 reward if the information leads to the arrest and conviction of the culprits.
Native Americans carved pictures of hunters, deer and other animals, along with geometric and other designs into a half-mile-long volcanic escarpment. The images, which date back more than 3,500 years ago, adorn hundreds of lava boulders.
It's unclear what will happen to the carvings but federal authorities will be speaking to Paiute-Shoshone tribal leaders to accommodate their wishes.
"This was a terrible thing to happen from their perspective, said David Christy, a spokesman for the Bureau of Land Management. "We are extremely pleased to get them back."
Visitors to the area, known as Volcanic Tableland, discovered the theft and reported it to federal authorities in October. The thieves are believed to have used ladders, electric generators and power saws to remove the panels that are two feet high and wide.
The petroglyphs are probably worth between $500 and $1,500 on the illegal art market but are priceless to American Indians.
Removing or damaging petroglyphs is a felony and first-time offenders can be imprisoned for up to a year and fined as much as $20,000, authorities said.
The site, north of Bishop, is protected under the Archaeological Resources Protection Act and listed in the National Register of Historic Places.

Old Lyme — Ah, the tricks fate plays on us … When Musical Masterworks' big-name star, pianist Jeremy Denk, canceled his appearance, and then the scheduled violinist was forced out by an injury, artistic director and cellist Edward Arron had to scramble to conjure up substitute musicians and material.
The result: As fine a concert Saturday as any of us have heard in Old Lyme, with a dash of extra sizzle.
That sizzle was provided by the local debut of violinist Tessa Lark, a 23-year-old Kentucky native with a dominating musical presence. Her combination of a rich, robust sound, even high in the register, technical control and phrasing that makes even the quickest presto seem unrushed, and a sense of surety seasoned with a distinctive personality, makes Lark stand out from America's talented pack of young virtuosos.
"She is wise beyond her years," Arron said in the introduction.
Lark's command of both the material and the audience made this writer recall seeing a teenager named Hilary Hahn for the first time. This is a special artist.
The program will be repeated this afternoon at the First Congregational Church. If you missed Saturday's concert, you should be there.
The winner of the 2012 Naumburg International Violin Competition, Lark opened the program with one of the most profound — and daunting — works in the repertoire: Bach's Chaconne from the D Minor partita for solo violin. Lark immersed herself in the 15-minute work's emotional struggle, texturing the brooding passages in both dynamics and pacing. Her approach to this revered score was utterly situational, at times in mourning, at times seething, often contemplative, and occasionally racing in terror from unseen hellhounds.
When the hymnlike major key central section began, her phrasing was achingly fragile and exposed. She swayed as she stepped out bravely into the rising figures in scales, ending with high and mighty ringing cadences in stops, before a fall from grace — and the major — her face masked in pain.
At the conclusion, the audience gave her repeated ovations. Her performance was, quite simply, electrifying.
She was joined by Arron and his favorite pianist, his wife Jeewon Park, for Arvo Pärt's 1992 Mozart-Adagio for Piano Trio, a short, intense exploration of the dissonances in Mozart's F major piano sonata. Here, too, Lark was magnetic, seeming to draw Arron, her string partner in dissonance, into Pärt's austere world.
The mood brightened and pianist Park took command for Haydn's Piano Trio No. 14 in A-flat Major, a playful antidote to the profundity that preceded it. Park is a frequent Masterworks performer, and her grasp of the architecture of a large-scale work is her hallmark. She is the rock upon which many a successful performance is built, and the Haydn was no exception. Park was especially fine spinning lyricism in the oddly irregular phrases of the slow movement.
The concert ended with Schubert's beloved Piano Trio in E-flat Major, one of Schubert's masterpieces of his miracle year, the last year of his life when he seemed to be racing against death. "You have a feeling Schubert already has one foot in the afterlife, the melodies are so sublime," Arron said, noting that attending performances of this trio by the Beaux Arts Trio as a boy "had a lot to do with what I do now."
You couldn't have asked for a finer performance than Saturday's. Arron, gifted by Schubert with the trio's big theme, was simply transported. Park once again was the heart of it, driving the propulsive dance rhythms and grand cadencial gestures. And Lark brought a sense of freshness and her very personal voice, as if in discovery of this music by and of youth.
The work is long, and the performance was committed and endearing. It seemed the three musicians carried the impulse of that young genius dying at 30: Don't stop, don't stop …

4. Ryan would slash Medicaid, the insurance program for some low-income people, by $735 billion over ten years, and hand the program back to the states to administer with more freedom. The CBO writes that states would most likely have to "reduce payments to providers, curtail eligibility for Medicaid, provide less extensive coverage to beneficiaries, or pay more themselves than would be the case under current law."
5. The budget spares Social Security and defense spending, which are left at current levels. Ryan's decision to back off Social Security is interesting, since he put forward proposals to privatize the program around the same time that President George W. Bush tried to sell the nation on a similar proposal. (Social Security does not face the same solvency challenges as Medicare and Medicaid, and is not projected to grow much as a percentage of GDP over the next 20 years.)

In Old Town, a family honors its ancestors
… He later was involved in the sheriff's department; he was the first treasurer of San Diego County. He also was the only person in San Diego history to hold every city-elected office at the same time. Bull and bear fights were huge back then. They were staging a fight out of the country and all the people wanted to go, including the mayor and his deputies. Crosthwaite stayed and manned the fort and they signed over all the positions.
... I gain a lot of personal satisfaction from sharing the stories. It brings not only my family but these other families together today. It was through the unofficial network of descendants that I was encouraged to get involved with the state park in Old Town. The descendants committee partnered with the Playwrights Project to develop scripts from oral histories of families for re-enactments. We preserve the accuracy of the culture, dialect, music, wardrobe, cooking, and games.
Most people don't realize that Wyatt Earp ran a house of ill repute blocks from Horton Plaza. Judge Roy Bean, the famous hanging judge of Texas, was arrested here and escaped from jail. His brother was the first mayor of San Diego. There's a lot to learn about how we as diverse cultures merged here and integrated and how we learned to coexist and incorporate. It's about honoring those ancestors and teaching history to correct a lot of misconceptions. ... The decedents are significant and their contributions are significant.

A visit to the IAT clinic.
In my book The Cancer Industry, I told the story of Lawrence Burton, PhD, and his founding of the IAT clinic. There was and is great skepticism about the motives and results of this clinic, which persisted even after Burton's death a dozen years ago. The key question, of course, is whether the clinic ever achieves results in situations that are otherwise deemed helpless. I believe that it sometimes does--although I have no way to measure how often that occurs.
Confirmation of the utility of the treatments also comes from a report prepared for the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ), part of the Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS). The AHRQ was created in 1989 and reauthorized under its present name in 1999. With a staff of 300, it has an annual budget of $329.6 million.
Its report on IAT was published in April 2003 but generated little attention at the time. It was prepared by the Southern California Evidence-Based Practice Center. This center, which itself dates back to 1972, began as the RAND Corporation's Health Insurance Experiment. (http://www.ahrq.gov/clinic/epc/socalepc.htm)
The principle authors of the AHRQ report were Prof. Ian Coulter, PhD, the Samueli Institute Chair in Policy for Integrative Medicine and senior health policy analyst, at the RAND Corporation and Mary Hardy, MD, medical director of the Simms/Mann UCLA Center for Integrative Oncology at the University of California at Los Angeles. Dr. Hardy graduated from Tufts New England Medical Center in 1984 and also studied medical ethics at Harvard Divinity School and Loma Linda University. There were other expert reviewers as well. (The full report citation is given below.)
The authors reviewed 30 cases that they considered to have the potential to be included in a best-case series (BCS). Of those, nine cases were finally presented that they considered the most complete or appropriate in terms of National Cancer Institute (NCI) criteria for a best-case series. These included the following types of cancer:
1. Hodgkin's lymphoma,
2. nodular lymphoma (poorly differentiated),
3. non-small cell carcinoma of the lung,
4. abdominal mesothelioma (two cases),
5. ovarian adenocarcinoma,
6. squamous cell carcinoma of vocal cord (two cases), and
7. colon cancer
Here is a brief discussion of half a dozen of these cases (using the case numbers utilized by the AHCQ report).
* Patient #1, nodular sclerosing lymphoma stage IB. After presenting with superior vena caval obstruction, this 46-year-old male was diagnosed on 12/2/83 with nodular sclerosing lymphoma stage 1B. He had palliative radiation therapy, which was completed on 12/7/83. He underwent chemotherapy from 12/83 to 6/84. After his chemotherapy a 7/10/84 CT scan revealed that he still had a superior mediastinal mass. He began IAT on 8/2/84 and completed 22 courses of immune therapy. He also took a variety of dietary supplements. Serial chest x-rays taken during IAT showed a decrease in tumor mass. An MRI report on 11/4/86 showed "inactive disease." A 1995 MRI of the chest also showed inactive disease. When interviewed on 9/26/01, he reported that his overall physical condition to be excellent.
* Patient #3, squamous cell carcinoma of the right vocal cord and anterior commissure. This 68-year-old male was diagnosed with squamous cell carcinoma of the right vocal cord and surrounding area on 9/3/81. An incomplete excisional biopsy was performed. The patient refused radiation therapy. Thus, this patient never received definitive conventional therapy. From 9/22/81 to 5/19/89, he completed 15 courses of IAT. Serial examinations by an otolaryngologist revealed the persistent presence of disease without progression through 2/23/82. An otolaryngologist performed an indirect laryngoscopy on 7/20/94, which did not reveal any abnormal findings. At the last contact (interview, 9/24/01), the patient reported that his overall physical condition was very good to excellent.
* Patient #4, metastatic non-small cell carcinoma of the lung. This 67-year-old woman was diagnosed with metastatic non-small cell carcinoma of the lung in July 1992. She presented with swelling in the neck, an enlarged lymph node, and a chest mass demonstrated by CT in the area of the aorta. A mini-thoracotomy identified a mass as poorly differentiated non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The patient completed palliative chemotherapy and radiation. No response was demonstrated to these treatments, and no further conventional therapy was advised. She began IAT in February 1993 and was on maintenance therapy at the time of the AHCQ report. Serial CT scans beginning in September 1994 revealed resolution of the tumor. At the last contact (interview, 12/4/01), the patient reported her overall physical condition as good.
* Patient #6, poorly differentiated nodular lymphoma. This 49-year-old man was diagnosed in 1983 with poorly differentiated nodular lymphoma after presenting with an enlarged node on his chin, fever, night sweats, and generalized pruritus. He was diagnosed with stage II disease. Local radiation was not recommended, while chemotherapy was deferred awaiting progression of disease. By 2/1/84, the patient had palpable disease in both axillae (armpits). He started IAT on 2/14/84 and completed 12 courses by 7/19/90. As of 11/07/01 he was in remission and reported his overall physical condition as excellent.
* Patient #7, peritoneal mesothelioma. This 50-year-old white woman presented with a history of peritoneal mesothelioma, which was initially misdiagnosed as ovarian cancer. She had extensive surgery followed by Taxol-carboplatin chemotherapy, which was begun on 7/28/99. She had an anaphylactic reaction to Taxol and so chemotherapy was discontinued. On 8/5/99, her biopsies were reviewed at the Armed Forces Institute of Pathology, which changed the diagnosis to peritoneal mesothelioma. No other conventional therapy was pursued, IAT was started on 12/1/99 and continued, with her most recent treatment on 6/6/01. Serial pelvic CT scans reveal a gradual diminution of pelvic densities, with the pelvic CT scan on 5/24/01 revealing no evidence of progressive tumor or other abnormality. At last contact, the patient reported that her overall physical health was good.
* Patient #9, ovarian cyst adenocarcinoma. The patient was a 54-year-old woman with an ovarian adenocarcinoma diagnosed on 5/3/80. She had a total hysterectomy. She was referred for chemotherapy but refused. Her only therapy consisted of 34 courses of IAT from 6/3/80 to 6/12/99. In June 1987, a CT scan revealed lesions in her liver that were suspicious for metastatic disease. A liver biopsy was recommended, but none was performed. Subsequent follow-up did not reveal progression of disease. A pelvic mass was noted on 8/6/00 and found to be increasing over the next year to a maximum size of 2.8cm x 2.8cm. An exploratory laparotomy with resection of left pelvis mass and biopsy of right pelvis was performed on 6/29/01, but pathology from the surgery was negative for cancer. Tumor markers have also been negative. Routine gynecologic care has not revealed any abnormalities. At last contact the patient reported that her overall physical health was good.
Over the years the IAT clinic has added a number of new treatments, such as GcMAF, dendritic cells, and stem cell treatments. But lately they have gone back to their roots, which are in Burton's original concepts. I will therefore focus on IAT, a treatment approach that is unique to this clinic. It involves the interaction of four elements: (a) blocking protein, (b) deblocking protein, (c) tumor antibody, and (d) tumor complement.
Some of these terms are familiar to orthodox cancer researchers. Tumor antibody was Burton's term for a form of gamma globulin (IgG) as well as some related immunoglobulins (IgA and IgM). Blocking factors are commonly accepted scientific concepts. M. Rigdon Lentz, MD, of Prien, Germany, has elaborated on the nature of some of the blocking factors involved in cancer, which he codiscovered when he was a professor at the University of California, Irvine (Gatanaga 1990).
Similarly, unblocking, or deblocking, factors, such as alpha-2-macroglobulin (sometimes called A2M), which Burton claimed caused the sensational remissions in mice, have also been frequently posited by scientific researchers. It is normally produced in the liver and serves as an inhibitor of coagulation. A study from Leipzig showed that a form of A2M was associated with "an inhibition of tumor cell proliferation, migration, invasion, spheroid formation, and anchorage-independent growth" in brain cancer (Lindner 2010).
In 1974, Burton, a laboratory scientist, was offered a chance to test his approach on human patients. With the help of wealthy supporters, he and Friedman left St. Vincent's Hospital and founded the Immunology Research Foundation in Great Neck, New York. Burton administered an immune competence blood test to determine the levels of blocking protein and other factors, and medical doctors affiliated with the new foundation began to treat cancer patients with a sequence of the various blood components.
In July 1974 New York magazine ran a front-page story on the two Long Island researchers. The cover of this widely read magazine showed Burton and Friedman holding out a C3H(t) mouse for the inspection of the general public (Anderson 1974).
Modern Medicine reported that 11 New York-area doctors, including some physicians at Downstate Medical Center, expressed great interest in participating in a clinical protocol if Burton's Immunology Research Foundation's request was approved. That was January 1, 1975. But trials never began. There are radically different versions of why human tests of Burton's method did not come to pass. According to a NCI press release at the time, Burton was asked to answer several questions by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). "No response to these questions was ever received. Consequently, Immunology Research Foundation's IND application was not accepted by the FDA and was withdrawn at the request of IRF on March 8, 1976" (NCI 1978).
Burton told a different story: First the FDA sent back his request with three questions. Burton answered the questions and then prepared for trials to begin. But the FDA responded with more questions, three pages of them, single-spaced. "It became apparent that the FDA regulations and the National Cancer Institute (NCI) protocols would take too long" (Burton 1979).
Burton next took a very radical step for a laboratory scientist: in 1977 he moved his operation to the Bahamas and established a research/treatment center adjacent to the Rand Hospital, on Grand Bahamas Island. The clinic is a one-story building within the grounds of the hospital, with a modern waiting room, treatment rooms, and several spacious laboratories where the blood fractions are prepared and (in those days) laboratory animals were tested. Burton's method in the Bahamas, renamed Immuno-Augmentative Therapy (IAT), was basically the same as it was in Great Neck, but on a larger scale.
During the early years Burton administered the blood tests using a computer to keep track of the patients' blood profile. A physician colleague then administered blood fractions, derived from normal human blood (serum) flown over from the mainland. Burton claimed that he offered these fractions "only after they [had] been fully tested for toxicity and efficacy in the strain of spontaneous tumor mice."
But how successful was Burton in the Bahamas? It is still impossible to give a definite answer to this question. His follow-up on thousands of patients was poor, since patients came from--and returned to--places all over the US, and even the world. What is more, Burton did not publish any clinical results; in fact he did not publish any scientific papers after the mid-1960s.
A follow-up report on 227 patients who were treated at the clinic in 1977 showed that at least 18% had survived in good health five years later. The expected survival rate, based on SEER data in equivalent patients, was less than that, although selection bias could distort the results.
"We don't have a cure-all," Burton always cautioned. As of the late 1970s, the best results had been claimed in cases of prostate cancer, malignant melanoma, bladder cancer, and some head and neck tumors.
Over the years I got to know Burton well, and it always stirs my emotions to see the excellent portrait of him that hangs in the patients' waiting room today. He had a unique and at times an irascible personality and rubbed many people the wrong way. However, that is ancient history, and besides, that sort of sentiment should be separated from the question of the efficacy of his treatment. My own impression, after five or six visits spaced over three decades, is that this treatment is sometimes very effective, especially in terms of secondary prevention. The AHCQ report certainly bears that out. But I have long ago stopped expecting carefully tabulated data, much less randomized controlled trials (RCTs), anytime soon. If one can accept these limitations, this could be a good treatment option, especially for patients coming from the East Coast of the US.

SAVANNAH, Ga. (WJCL) – A Florida man wanted by Florida law enforcement was arrested in Savannah on Friday morning by the U.S. Marshals Service, a spokesman with the organization has confirmed.
Warrant Supervisor Tommy Long said that Marion Bernard Simmons, 21, was wanted by the Palm Beach County Sheriff's Department for an armed robbery with a firearm that occurred on Oct. 13, 2013. Simmons is also charged with a Burglary.
The case was referred to the U.S. Marshals Florida Regional Fugitive Task Force in West Palm Beach, Fla. to locate and arrest Simmons. An extensive investigation was conducted by the Marshals Task Force that led investigators to believe that Simmons had fled Palm Beach County and was possibly in the Savannah area.
This information was forwarded to the Savannah Office of the Marshals Southeast Regional Fugitive Task Force for assistance in locating and arresting Simmons. The task force conducted an investigation and located Simmons at East Bolton Street early Friday morning. Simmons was arrested without incident and taken to the Chatham County Jail to await extradition proceedings back to Florida.

Woowwwwwwwwwwwww :D:D:D i really didn't know about this awesome feature mate!
this is awesomeeee!!!!!!!!!!!!!
starting to play with it right now
I still use this every day. I really like Dashboard Plus and wanted to compliment it once more.
Cha-ching always makes me happy. However it still goes off a lot of times when there has been no sale at all. It gives mixed feelings because a Cha-ching always feels like a Cha-ching, but not entirely when there is no actual Cha-ching. Anything I can do from this side to make sure I only receive Cha-chings when there's an actual sale?
Just a minute ago I had about 12 Cha-chings in 1 second. It was music to my ears but there was only 1 actual sale.
I have just installed it and there is no tab in settings page to enable it, possibly due to recent interface changes..
No problem here. You should get a kind of Welcome Popup on the first run.
Yes, I receive a popup and it redirects me to Settings, but then no tab there.. I'm on Chrome, Win7
Thank you again for this great script!
I would like to change somehow in the script on my computer the total amount of earnings to be shown in my local currency, instead of US$
Is this possible? Can you give me a hint which and where is the file I have to modify for this ? Thanks in advance!
Anyone who possibly could send me this script or upload it to any server ? The userscripts server is down, I have to do withdrawals, my homemade script is gone with my old computer, and I have to avoid the hand calculation as much as possible
Thank you very much guys, would be totally helpful
revaxarts saidHello Xaver. How do you generate the header comments in your files? I wanted to ask you long time ago but always forgot. I'm more interested by last modified date. Do you use a special software or maybe you have/know an extension for Sublime Text? Thank you.

Re: Bruce anchor - real mccoy?
Generally speaking, I do not keep an anchor on the bow roller. It is kept literally in the bow anchor box out of the way. Most sailing is racing with a crew of 5 or 6, so with that many, we can get an anchor out and set pretty quick. With barely 30' of OA boat, a BIG anchor as some of you use is not needed per say either. Previous owner sailed from the south puget sound up to desolation a few times in the 20 yr owning the boat. WIll assume this was the normal anchor used....he loved Bruces.....Not sure the anchor is the wrong size for general cruising where I do. I will go with longer line, and if I take an extended cruise up to desolation one of these years, I'll get a new anchor line and a double the chain for sure. Then my 9 lb race anchor would probably make a good stern anchor up that direction too. May need a roll of poly in the 300' range to tree tie also....One can be <50' from shore and still be in 200+ feet of water up that way! I've seen pics of boats literally bow to shore, ie a cliff and have 1000' of wall up, and 200+ feet below them! One needs multiple options for anchoring here.

Oaks and grassland featured on ranch trails
Trail head: Heading east on Highway 67, in downtown Ramona, turn right onto 10th Street, which turns into San Vicente Road. Go about 2.5 miles and turn right into the Barnett Ranch Preserve parking area on Deviney Lane.
Hours: 8 a.m. to sunset daily.
Length: From 2.6 to 5.4 miles round-trip, depending on the trails you choose. Allow from two to four hours.
Difficulty: Easy.
Barnett Ranch Preserve in Ramona is a 728-acre open space that offers two trails through grasslands and oak woodlands, now awash in wildflower blooms.
The county bought the property in 2002 for it to be included in the Multiple Species Conservation Program to preserve sensitive species. Some of the species that thrive in these riparian, oak woodland and coastal sage scrub habitats include the Southern California rufous-crowned sparrow, the loggerhead shrike, white-tailed kite and orange-throated whiptail. I heard a few of them chirping on my hike.
A lot of the vegetation is native and non-native grassland, since the property was a working cattle ranch for more 100 years.
Augustus Barnett and his wife, Martha, had come west from New York. Augustus established himself as a prominent businessman in Cleveland from about 1825 to 1840. The Barnetts moved to California in 1869 and to San Diego County in 1875. They established the Barnett Ranch in Ramona in 1877, which eventually grew to more than 1,300 acres.
The Barnetts are important players in Ramona history, particularly for the 1894 construction and gift of the Ramona Town Hall on Main Street, listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Ramona Town Hall, one of the largest and oldest adobe structures in Southern California, was designed by famed architect William S. Hebbard, who eventually would partner with Irving Gill, another famous local architect, during the early 1900s.
Augustus Barnett died in 1906, but his family has continued ranching on Barnett Ranch for generations. His grandson Jimmy, who died at 87 in 1990, was a lifelong rancher there. His great-great-grandsons, Phil and Dan Parker, continue to run part of the original Barnett Ranch, according to a 2003 Union-Tribune article.
There was plenty of bright purple lupine on the trail. I also tried to identify several other wildflowers, using James Lightner's book "San Diego County Native Plants" and other sources. I spotted tall spiky purple standouts that may be either heliotrope or gilia, curving yellow fiddlenecks, densely packed and short yellow brass buttons, plenty of blue phacelia and some very tiny apricot-colored ground cover.
Two trails take off from the trail head. I took the Rattlesnake Trail/Oak Loop Trail, which offered a 2.8-mile round-trip hike along an old ranch road.
It's an easy walk through the old grasslands sprinkled with live oak trees that gather near San Vicente Creek. The trail crosses the creek, which was pretty full, but a detour pathway through the grass circumvented the water.
You'll also see a small pond that was dammed from the creek that probably was a former cattle watering hole. Here the surrounding ground is covered in those tight yellow buds of the brass buttons.

Red tape hold-up is stopping me from finding a job, says dad, 38
Posted: May 03, 2014|
Frustrated father-of-two Chris Browne says he is unable to get a job, due to a wait to find his National Insurance number.
The 38-year-old, who was born in the UK, has spent the past 20 years living and working in Sri Lanka.
But since returning to the UK last month, he has found it impossible to get work due to a delay in HM Revenue and Customs locating his records.
Mr Browne, of Exeter Road, Forest Fields, has been told it could be up to six weeks for his details to be found.
Related content
He said: "It's quicker for them to issue a new National Insurance number than to check on the old one but I cannot get a new one as I would be committing fraud.
"It's frustrating. I'm sitting and waiting around for the post every day.
"It's not really much fun and I cannot make any money until it's resolved."
Every UK national aged over the age of 16 is issued with a National Insurance number, which records their tax contributions and state pension entitlements.
Mr Browne was born in Scotland but has lived for most of his life out of the UK.
He did return to the UK in his teens to complete his education, and obtained a National Insurance number around that time.
But after finishing his studies, he moved to live with his parents in the Middle East and spent time in India, before settling in Sri Lanka.
Mr Browne, whose last visit to the UK was in 1999 for a friend's wedding, said: "I've been in Sri Lanka for 20 years.
"My last job there was in a boutique hotel restaurant near Galle, working in the kitchen. It was a consultancy job, improving systems and making the operations more efficient.
"Once the job finished over there, I couldn't find further employment, and I couldn't get a visa to stay. I've friends in Nottingham so thought we'd settle here."
Mr Browne, his wife and their two children returned to the UK on April 8.
He wrote to HM Revenue and Customs on April 11 requesting his National Insurance details and had a phone call four days later to say it could take four to six weeks to resolve.
Mr Browne said the delay had already cost him the chance of starting work.
"I had an interview for a job lined up but because I couldn't prove I had a bank account or National Insurance number, I couldn't be interviewed," he said.
"It's all catch-22 issues through the system. The longer I'm waiting, the longer it takes until I receive my first pay cheque.
"My wife's German and has also applied for a National Insurance number and that will take a month. We're both stuck."
Nottingham East MP Chris Leslie said he had been contacted by Mr Browne and was looking into the case.
He said: "It's quite important that we should be helping people get back to work if they are legitimately able to do so.
"There's no real excuse for a long, prolonged wait for an administrative reason like this.
"I will certainly be helping Mr Browne to try and push HMRC to speed this process up."
A spokesman for HM Revenue and Customs said: "We are unable to comment on individual cases due to taxpayer confidentiality but we will look into this matter.
"If a taxpayer has lost their national insurance number or cannot remember it, we can provide that information. But this can only be done in writing in correspondence with the taxpayer."

looking for a ride.
The 51-year-old was making eggs on toast for her 8-year-old
son and 12-year-old grandson yesterday morning at her
Kihikihi home near Te Awamutu when a man appeared at her
kitchen asking for car keys.
"I didn't know he had come in here because the ranchslider
was open. Of course, I refused to give him the car keys and
next thing I know ... he says to me 'I've got a gun'. "I
yelled up to my husband who was upstairs sleeping but he
didn't hear me."
The woman, who did not want to be identified for safety
reasons, then went into her 32-year-old son's room next to
the kitchen.
At that time, her younger son was still at the table waiting
for breakfast, but the 12-year-old had disappeared upstairs,
she said.
"I thought he was a drunk coming in asking for car keys. It
didn't really register, I didn't really believe him," she
"I think I was more in shock than scared ..."
After her elder son got out of bed and fetched his car keys,
the intruder - who had followed her into his room while
saying he had a gun and was "holding his hand down by his
hip" - snatched them from him, found the car and left, she
The family, which included the woman's 51-year-old husband
and 22-year-old daughter, were then evacuated from their Hall
St home after police found a jacket on the fence believed to
contain a homemade bomb, she said.
Last night, Detective Senior Sergeant Daryl Smith said
officers were hunting the offender, who had also allegedly
threatened staff at another address before entering the Hall
St family's property.
"While at the address they've encountered a man who, when
asked to stop, instead fled," he said of the initial Whitmore
St incident.
"Chasing the man on foot, one of our two officers was
suddenly confronted by him brandishing a firearm."
The man then fled on foot to reach the other property on Hall
St, he said.
"He entered the home and confronted the occupants, taking the
keys to one of their cars."
Police are looking for a silver 2003 Honda Accord station
wagon, believed to have a white sticker on its rear window
with the words "Train Station" on it.

Spain: Catalan villages vote for independence
VILAFRANCA DEL PENEDES, Spain A smattering of villages and towns in rich, independence-minded Catalonia gave a lukewarm embrace to the idea of breaking away from Spain in a rare vote Sunday at the grassroots level.
Skeptics called the nonbinding vote an exercise in futility for the proud region centered around Barcelona, which boasts a distinct cultural identity and accounts for about one-fifth of Spain's economy but says it get does not get enough in return.
But an umbrella group of civic organizations behind the referendum saw it as a way to assert the distinct identity of what they regard as a country within a country and to pressure politicians in Madrid and Barcelona to pay more attention to them.
The vote was held in 167 pro-autonomy hamlets, villages and towns in Catalonia, home to about 7 million people.
In the end, with more than 90 percent of the votes counted - people as young as 16 and immigrants were also allowed to take part -- 94 percent favored independence, and turnout was about 25 percent, according to Ana Arque, a spokeswoman for the referendum organizers.
A massive 'yes' vote had been widely expected because the referendum was staged in pro-independence towns. The turnout figure was about half that of a vote in 2006 on a statute that gave Catalonia broad new powers of self rule.
Organizers of Sunday's vote had set a goal of 40 percent turnout. Still, they played up the result as a success.
"The people of Catalonia have chosen to form an independent state," said Carles Mora, mayor of a small town that held a similar refendum back in September.
Catalonia, along with the Basque country, is a prime example of a region oppressed under the dictatorship of Gen. Francisco Franco, which made it a crime to speak in their regional languages in the interest of promoting Spain as a unified country run from Madrid.
Since Franco's death in 1975 and the restoration of democracy, Spain has gradually granted a large degree of self-rule to regions such as Catalonia.
Catalonia won even more self-rule in 2006 with the new autonomy charter, gaining control over judicial, infrastructure and other issues and an indirect proclamation of Catalonia being a nation.
But conservatives immediately challenged the charter, and Spain's highest court is now believed to be close to issuing a verdict that might strike down parts of it. Critically, it is said to oppose the idea of Catalonia being a nation.
Angst over this pending decision was a major reason for Sunday's vote. Organizers say they plan a similar one in Barcelona and other big cities early next year.
Anti-Spanish sentiment in Catalonia can run very high. Next week the regional parliament will debate a bill to ban bullfighting. That probably has as much to do with concern over cruelty to animals as it does with a pastime associated with traditional Spain.
Sunday's paper ballots were counted by the organizers themselves, with monitors from places such as Corsica, Quebec and Northern Ireland, which have their own independence movements.

Stop and frisk policies destroy lives and communities, but New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg and Police Commissioner Ray Kelly continue to defend the practice. Recently, tens of thousands took to the streets demanding that the mayor and commissioner end stop and frisk and hold the NYPD to a higher standard of policing that does not include harassment, abuse and racially-biased tactics.
Today we redoubled our efforts to join those in NYC and across the nation. Read the email we sent to our members after the jump, and join us here.
Dear ColorOfChange.org Member,
New York City's police department is targeting Black and Latino residents — subjecting our communities to thousands of illegal stops, searches, and frisks each day that lead to unlawful arrests, constant harassment, and in some cases serious injury or death.1,2
Last year, NYPD officers made an astounding 700,000 stops3 — 89 percent of whom were Black or Latino and most were stopped without any suspicion of wrongdoing.4 For many young Black men, getting stopped and questioned by police has become part of daily life.5
Mayor Michael Bloomberg and Police Commissioner Ray Kelly defend the city's Stop and Frisk program, claiming it's necessary and must be focused in Black communities in order to save lives.6 In reality, Stop and Frisk is harmful to public safety and erodes community trust in the police — undermining safe, effective, and professional police practices.7
Recently, tens of thousands took to the streets of New York City demanding that the Mayor and Commissioner end Stop and Frisk and hold the NYPD to a higher standard of policing that does not include harassment, abuse, and racially-biased tactics.8,9 Please join us in calling on Mayor Bloomberg and Commissioner Kelly to end New York's Stop and Frisk program, it takes just a moment:
A recent report on New York City's Stop and Frisk program provides damning proof of what Black New Yorkers have always known – that the NYPD subjects thousands of us to deeply offensive, humiliating treatment, based largely on the color of our skin.10 Many of the nearly 700,000 New Yorkers stopped in 2011 were belittled, subjected to degrading full-body searches, and forced to hand over all their personal belongings to police — some were even thrown to the ground or had guns drawn on them while walking in their own neighborhoods.11 These actions of the NYPD have created two New Yorks — where New Yorkers are treated differently on the basis of race, income, ethnicity, and where they live.
Lower-income Black folks living in public housing developments are routinely made to feel under siege in their own homes. Police commonly charge residents and their guests with trespassing if they are not carrying identification.12 In the Brownsville section of Brooklyn, a neighborhood with a high concentration of public housing units, the stop rate was 572 per 1000 residents last year.13
For victims of Stop and Frisk, these constant police stops are not a minor inconvenience, but they reflect a blatant disregard for civil liberties that leaves whole communities feeling scarred and violated. Stops regularly escalate to police harassment — and brutality — within minutes.14 In the case of Jateik Reed, police viciously clubbed and kicked the Bronx teen in front of his home because he complained about being frisked,15 and none of the officers involved have been held accountable.
Stop and Frisk myth
Supporters of the repressive policing program point to the decline in violent crime as proof that Stop and Frisk is protecting the Black community, but this is not true. Weapons were only recovered in 1.9 percent of the stops made last year.16 And the increase in stop and frisks came well after a steady decline in the number of murders, both in NYC and throughout the country.17
Thanks in large part to a diverse coalition of New York City activists, researchers, and lawyers called Communities United for Police Reform, the NYPD's Stop and Frisk program has recently made national headlines. In February, a federal judge granted class-action status to a lawsuit brought by the Center for Constitutional Rights in New York on behalf of four Black men who said they were racially profiled by the NYPD. The lawsuit asserts that the program is unconstitutional and should end.18 And this past Father's Day, thousands marched in silence from lower Harlem down Fifth Avenue to Bloomberg's townhouse, demanding an end to the practice.19
By calling for an end to Stop and Frisk in New York, we can shape the way police treat Black people throughout the nation, since many police departments copy and study the practices of the NYPD — the nation's largest police department.20,21 Together, we can keep the national spotlight on the issue and continue to pressure Mayor Bloomberg and Police Commissioner Kelly to do what's right. It's time to make sure New York City's residents can enjoy a shared experience of freedom, regardless of the neighborhood they live in or the color of their skin. Please join us in calling for an end to New York City's Stop and Frisk program and when you do, please ask your friends and family to do the same:
Thanks and Peace,
-- Rashad, Gabriel, Dani, Matt, Arisha, Kira, Kim, and the rest of the ColorOfChange.org team

To get a lean look, many men are working out in a room full of women doing The Bar Method.
The workout is not new. It was developed by a dancer in the 1950's, but recently men started to show up at classes.
Maika Manrin, co-owner of The Bar Method in downtown Seattle, says she now notices an increase in the number of men taking her classes.
Well they're walking by and they see a class full of beautiful women working out, they want to know what's going on in here, said Manrin. So the smart ones come here.
Tri-athlete Clint Patterson takes the class.
There are moments during the workout when I'm like, I want to stop, said Patterson.
That's saying something. Patterson has completed five Ironman triathlons. He says because of The Bar Method, he's stronger now at 42 than he was at 22.
I feel like I m in the best shape I ve been in my life, he said. I m faster than I ve been before. I m faster running. I m faster on the bike.
The Bar Method co-owner Bev Currier says it gets men flexible, too.
A lot of men that come in here. It s like, ask them to touch their toes, they can't touch them, she said. It's a one hour workout. They can get the strength and the flexibility in one hour.
With weights, a ballet bar and balls, it's a workout that can make a grown man wince.
And Patterson agrees. It's tough.

Damian Watcyn Lewis (born 11 February 1971) is an English actor and producer. His acting roles include Soames Forsyte in the ITV remake of The Forsyte Saga, Detective Charlie Crews in the NBC drama Life and Major Richard Winters in the HBO miniseries Band of Brothers. He currently stars as Marine Sergeant Nicholas Brody in the award-winning Showtime series Homeland.
I went to English boarding schools and grew up around people very much like Soames and in a milieu very much like the Forsytes's.
Lewis was born in St John's Wood, London, the son of Watcyn and Charlotte Lewis. His paternal grandparents were Welsh, and Lewis says that his father "is Welsh", despite Watcyn being English and born in London. His maternal grandfather was Lord Mayor of London Ian Frank Bowater and his maternal grandmother's ancestors include Bertrand Dawson, 1st Viscount Dawson of Penn (a doctor to the royal family), author Kathryn Hoare and philanthropist Alfred Yarrow.
Lewis made several visits to the United States to visit relatives during his summers as a child. He first decided to become an actor at age 16. He was educated at the independent Ashdown House School in the village of Forest Row in East Sussex and at Eton College and graduated from the Guildhall School of Music and Drama in 1993, after which he served as a stage actor for the Royal Shakespeare Company. During his time with the RSC, he played Borgheim in Adrian Noble's production of Henrik Ibsen's Little Eyolf, as well as Posthumus in William Shakespeare's Cymbeline. He has also starred in another of Ibsen's plays, Pillars of the Community.

|AP source: Lions sign WR Ogletree to 1-year deal
|Written by Admin
|Wednesday, 02 October 2013 10:11
The person spoke Wednesday on condition of anonymity because the move had not been announced.
Ogletree was cut by Tampa Bay on Tuesday after signing with the Buccaneers as a free agent in March. He adds depth in Detroit, where the Lions are without their No. 2 receiver, Nate Burleson, indefinitely because he broke his left arm in a one-car accident.
Ogletree had eight receptions for 70 yards and a touchdown in four games with the Buccaneers year. He set career highs last season - his fourth in the NFL - with 32 receptions, 436 yards receiving and four TDs.
