Strictly Come Dancing: what are your best and worst memories of taking part, and who do you think will win the current series?
I'm following the current series with interest, and Jules and I are going up to watch it next week. Obviously Colin [Jackson] can do well. He's a bit too bloody good, isn't he? He hasn't been really tested yet, but he must have a good chance. Zoe Ball is good too.
I was never going to be a great dancer - I was always in the middle. But the proper dancers took things so seriously. My best moment was week five, when I was dancing at Blackpool and I was sure I was going out because I had danced like crap, but we didn't even feature in the bottom two. I was completely gobsmacked.
My worst moment was the initial photo-shoot, when I was suckered into wearing a see-through sequinned top, which I have never lived down. They told me everyone was wearing the same kind of thing, but I was the only one.

Conjure up a little Latin magic with Elizabeth Luard`s crab in lovely kick-ass, cook-me-quick chilli sauce
Method1. Place the crab into the freezer for at least 2 hours before cooking. Bring a large pan of very heavily salted water to the boil, remove the crab from the freezer and drop it into the pan. Return the water to the boil. Cook for 25 minutes.
2. Pick all the meat out of the shell and claws: the only non-edible bits are the mouthpiece and the feathery grey gills, the 'dead man's fingers'.
3. Heat the oil in a shallow saucepan until faint blue haze rises. Add the garlic and chillies and fry for a moment. Stir in the crabmeat and the brandy. Allow all to bubble up fiercely to evaporate the alcohol. That's all!!
- 1 large live crab, weighing 1kg(to yield 450g crab meat)
- 4 clove garlic, slivered
- 1 tsp small dried chillies, deseeded and chopped
- 150 ml olive oil
- 125 glass ml brandy
- salt
Tips and suggestions
- In accordance with RSPCA guidelines and the recommendation of the University Federation of Animal Welfare, the most humane way to dispatch a live crab is to put it into the freezer at -20°C for at least two hours before cooking.
When it's time to cook the crab, bring copious amounts of very heavily salted water to the boil, remove the crab from the freezer and drop it into the pan. Return the water to the boil and cook as above.

This multi-billion dollar company is proof that generics can be big business. Although Teva saw its North America earnings power shrink to 48% of its sales in 2011 from 62% in 2010, the Israeli company balanced things out, increasing sales to 31% in Europe, up from 24% in 2010, and hauled in 21% of its take from international sales, compared with 14% the year before. Although the company remains solidly in the unbranded drug space, its $6.8-billion purchase last year of Cephalon and its CNS portfolio means more exposure to the brand side of the patent-protection wars, as CNS drugs Provigil, Copaxone and Treanda burn through their exclusivity periods. Teva dealt Par the right to sell an authorized generic of Provigil, meaning Teva earns from both ends of the patent spectrum. The company says it has 177 product registrations awaiting FDA approval—120 of these are patent challenges for first-to-market generic rights.

JUCO jewels
2014-09-03 00:00:00
We take a look at some of the state' best junior college recruits
Academic problems, off the field issues or little attention coming out of high school are just some of the reasons prospects end up going the JUCO route.
And it's even becoming a popular decision even for recruits who feel they can just get better with two years at a lower level of football. An array of junior college players have had quite a bit of success lately — just ask Carolina Panthers quarterback Cam Newton or Nick Marshall, who led Auburn to a national title appearance last year.
More and more FBS coaches are looking to fill immediate needs by signing JUCO players. Getting older fast is not a fad — it's the standard.
With that said, here is a look at some of the top 2015 prospects from Texas junior colleges.
OL Maurice Porter, Navarro JC (6-6, 295) — Porter is a huge get — literally — for Baylor, who will lose right tackles Troy Baker and Tyler Edwards at the end of the year. Porter is a big body with quick feet and would be a natural fit at that position. Porter, a Fort Bend Marshall product, committed to Baylor last February after switching from Texas Tech but did not qualify academically and was forced to go the JUCO route. Porter, however, ended up back with the defending Big 12 champ.
DB Ray Crockett, Navarro JC (6-0, 185) — Navarro JC defensive end Quincy Vasser, a Georgia commit, is a beast, but we wanted to highlight Ray Crockett since he's staying in-state next season. Crockett, the son of former Denver Broncos defensive back Ray Crockett Sr., committed to SMU and is sure to be thrown into the fire right away in a secondary that has looked a little too much like Swiss cheese as of late. Crockett, a Southlake Carroll grad, is a taller corner with tons of athletic upside.
DB L.B. Bates, Trinity Valley CC (6-0, 180) — Graduation will hit Kansas hard next season as multiple defensive backs will be lost to graduation. So it was imperative for the Jayhawks to get a seasoned player who can play both safety and cornerback. And that's exactly what they got in Bates. The former Allen star will play primarily safety this season and has impressed coaches with his awareness and physicality. Bates was also attracting interest from Nebraska and Texas Tech.
WR Jarvis Baxter, Trinity Valley CC (5-11, 175) — Originally an SMU commit, Baxter didn't qualify right out of the gates. But the silky smooth route runner has picked it up in the classroom and on the field at Trinity Valley CC. Baxter has some of the softest hands around and is a dangerous big play threat. His stock should continue to rise if he has another productive year at the JUCO level. He currently holds offers from Louisiana Monroe, New Mexico, New Mexico State and North Texas.
WR Darrion Landry, Blinn CC (6-3, 195) — Baxter isn't the only JUCO wide receiver you need to keep an eye on. Landry is a tall, physical pass catcher who constantly commands double teams. FBS schools love his size but more importantly his ability to stretch the field with his 4.45 speed. Illinois, Kentucky, North Texas and UAB have offered Landry so far. Last season, he caught 45 passes for 766 yards and five touchdowns and should have an even bigger year in 2014.
DB Michael Mathis, Kilgore JC (6-2, 205) — Mathis committed to Kentucky during the 2014 recruiting cycle and was set to suit up with the Wildcats this season, but he made a late switch to Kansas during the summer. Mathis still has to finish up a class at Kilgore this fall before he can begin practicing with the Jayhawks in the spring. Mathis, a Crosby alum, can play both cornerback and safety just like the aforementioned Bates. Both are solid pickups for the Jayhawks.
DT Motekiai Maile, Tyler JC (6-4, 305) — Defensive tackle is one of the most difficult positions to recruit coming out of high school. Usually, true freshmen defensive tackles are too raw and need to get adjusted to the physicality of college football by hitting the weight room and adding muscle. And Maile, who started his high school career at Euless Trinity before moving to California, has done just that. An Oklahoma State commit, Maile will be a force in the middle for the Cowboys.

Collaborations and Partnerships
A new $10-million, 45,000-square-foot building on the ORNL campus will be constructed for the Joint Institute for Computational Sciences (JICS), as well as the new Oak Ridge Center for Advanced Studies (ORCAS). JICS was established in 1991 through the Science Alliance, a University of Tennessee (UT) Center of Excellence that seeks to promote collaborative relationships between research groups in the UT system and ORNL. JICS was created to encourage and facil-itate the effective use of high-performance computing resources in the state of Tennessee. In pursuit of its main goal, JICS directs activities in the areas of research, education and training, and technology transfer.
In research, JICS personnel consult with researchers on individual application codes and recommend target archi-tecture(s), tools for writing parallel codes, visualization toolkits, graphical user interfaces, and homogeneous or heterogeneous parallel implementations.
In education and training, JICS staff conduct classes, organize seminars and workshops, and participate in one-on-one and small group educational activities.
"An important feature of JICS is the strong collaboration between researchers at ORNL and faculty and students at UT," says ORNL's Buddy Bland. "These collaborations are under the new umbrella of the ORNL-UT Computational Sciences Initiative. For example, Jack Dongarra's group of 40 or so researchers and graduate students at UT is developing performance tools to enable researchers to run their scientific simulation codes at the most efficient supercomputing level of power, using resources at ORNL. One application in which there is a strong collaboration is climate prediction." UT is making funds available to support tool development research for which ORNL provides access to its supercomputers.
"The Computational Sciences Initiative makes collaborators more competitive for research grants," says Science Alliance Director Jesse Poore, "because researchers can draw on the combined strength of ORNL and UT. In addition, they gain ready access to terascale computing facilities." The initiative is open to all facets of science and engineering research and education. Research selected for the program is of strategic importance to both UT and ORNL. JICS will oversee the initiative. Seminars to acquaint interested UT and ORNL researchers with the opportunities available have already begun.
Future goals of JICS include partnerships with government, private industry, and other universities, emphasizing expansion of collaborative research, training in high-performance computing, expanded use of clusters of heterogeneous computing environments, and tech-nology transfer and consulting to benefit the private sector. Through these types of collaborations, JICS is working to earn for Tennessee an international reputation in the use of massive parallel processing.
DOE's Center for Computational Sciences (CCS) at ORNL has part-nerships with universities, governmental institutions, and major industrial firms, including IBM and Compaq corporations. These part-nerships are essential to solving complex scientific problems using supercom-puters and to advancing computer science and scientific research.
CCS has partnerships with the core universities of UT-Battelle, which manages ORNL for DOE. These universities are Duke University, Florida State University, North Carolina State University, Virginia Tech, the University of Virginia, and UT.
CCS is part of ORNL's first scientific collaboration with the IBM Research Division in Zurich, Switzerland. The goal of this collaboration is to develop a quantum-dot array to do innovative computations. (See ORNL Review, Vol. 34, No. 2, 2001, Quantum-Dot Arrays for Computation for more details).
Thanks to David McQueeney, vice president of IBM Communication Technology, IBM fellowships will allow five postdoctoral scientists to split their time between ORNL and IBM. One of these "shared postdocs" will work on the quantum-dot array project.
In August 2001, ORNL signed a cooperative research and development agreement with IBM to help develop its next-generation supercomputer—the 100-teraflops Blue Gene, which will be used to relate gene sequences and protein structures to human diseases. In this collaboration, ORNL and IBM researchers will explore the limits of scalability in high-performance computing. Because this machine will have hundreds of thousands of processors, ORNL researchers will help develop fault-tolerant algorithms to allow the supercomputer to work around processors that fail and will provide their expertise in using computing to predict protein structures.
Clearly, ORNL's supercomputing personnel have good connections.

The time in Havana, Cuba
Havana, Cuba. -Since the official opening of embassies in Havana and Washington was announced, as part of the restoration of diplomatic relations between Cuba and the United States, it is important to remember the bases on which the work of both representations lies.
As the parties have announced, the restoration of embassies and their future performance are closely linked to the unrestricted compliance with the international rules for these cases.
Havana, Cuba.-The plans by U.S. President Barack Obama to close the naval base in Guantanamo, in eastern Cuba, are now at a crossroads and according to experts, it is about to collapse.
The United States has maintained since 2002 a detention center in that military facility, located in Cuban territory against the will of the Cuban people and government. According to Obama's counterterrorism adviser, O. Lisa Monaco, the president remains firm in his commitment to close the prison, a goal "for which all the national security team is working, as well as the Departments of State, Defense, Justice and the intelligence community."
The approval process for the transfer of prisoners is complex, because there are some regulations restricting the transfer of the detainees to prisons within the United States, and for that reason, the Pentagon chief should notify to the Congress 30 days before of any decision and confirm that there are no significant risks. But Obama's old aspiration continues hounding, in contrast to the good results he lately has, with the approval by the Supreme Court to his health program (Obamacare) and the achievement of the nuclear deal with Iran, an article from The New York Times said today.
The text, signed by journalist Charlie Savage, states that the delays by Secretary of Defense, Ashton Carter, to transfer the detainees to other countries, has generated a growing concern at the White House and the State Department, as government officials say.
About 116 detainees are currently in prison, 52 of which are proposed to be transfered if safety requirements are complied with, most of them from Yemen and because of the instability situation existing in that Arab country, the White House prefers to send them to other nations, rather than repatriate them.
Havana, Cuba.-Cuba denounced here today the dilatory maneuvers by some western countries to prevent the progress in fighting racism and discrimination.
Cuban diplomat Claudia Perez remarked that some western nations are opposed to the efforts by southern countries, aimed at fighting racism, racial discrimination, xenophobia and related intolerance.

This spectacular fossil helped prove that modern birds evolved from dinosaurs and was the first example providing support for Darwin's theory of evolution. It is the most valuable fossil in the Museum's collection.
Sketch by Joseph Dinkel from Richard Owen's paper on Archaeopteryx, 1863.
The fossil caused a lot of confusion when it was discovered in Germany in 1861. It had feathers like a bird, but teeth, claws and a bony tail like a dinosaur.
Richard Owen, the Museum's first superintendent, knew there was something extraordinary about it. World-famous for his skill in identifying animals, he classified Archaeopteryx as a bird. No birds were known from so far back in time.
But Owen failed to realise just how remarkable Archaeopteryx was.
The curious fossil was discovered just a few years after Charles Darwin published his controversial theory of evolution.
In 1868, Darwin's strongest supporter, Thomas Henry Huxley, suggested Archaeopteryx showed an evolutionary link between dinosaurs and birds. Until then, no intermediate forms between living animals and their supposed ancestors had been found. The half-bird half-dinosaur became central to the evolution debate.

The shape and arrangement of the wing feathers of Archaeopteryx show adaptations for flight similar to modern birds.
Museum scientist Angela Milner led an international team that found further evidence Archaeopteryx could fly by studying its brain.
Bird brains fit very tightly in the skull so an imprint is left on the inside of the bones.
Of the 10 Archaeopteryx specimens known to science, this is the only one whose skull and brain imprint could be studied. The back part of the skull was at the edge of the specimen block, so it could be removed and put in a CT scanner. Scientists used the scan data to build a 3D reconstruction of the brain. It shows Archaeopteryx had the sight, balance and coordination necessary for flight.

Fossils found more recently in China (such as Sinornithosaurus and Xiaotingia) also have feathers, but ones adapted for warmth and display, not flight.
They are the closest relatives to Archaeopteryx yet discovered but are definitely dinosaurs, so they throw into question whether Archaeopteryx was a bird after all. Perhaps it was one of many early flying experiments rather than the direct ancestor of modern birds.
On balance, the evidence still places Archaeopteryx with the birds, in the group Avialae. New discoveries will clarify the evolution of the bird family tree.

Originally, a single fossil feather was the official representative of the species Archaeopteryx lithographica. But despite being discovered first, the feather cannot be proved to belong to Archaeopteryx.
The complete skeleton and feathers of the fossil looked after by the Museum provide a more reliable reference. In 2011, it replaced the fossil feather as the type specimen. So it is now the one all others are compared to.

New Bio-Statistical Support Information
The Applied Statistics Lab (ASL) is now available to enhance statistical support for both faculty and students. The ASL will provide researchers with a centralized location to seek advice for planning studies and implementing analysis. One of the advantages of centralized support is that requests requiring less statistical sophistication may be handled by a junior RA and more complicated requests may be triaged to a faculty member with specific expertise.
It is likely that Catherine Starnes (now a senior RA) will continue to work on projects for CHS as she did last year. Heather Bush, Ph.D., will continue her supervision of CHS projects and will ensure that the statistical needs of the college are met.
Effective immediately, please send all bio-statistical requests directly to Candace Brancato.Back to Top

New York, NY (May 15, 2007) --
Scholastic, the global children's publishing, education and media company, today announced the third question in its
7 Questions of Harry Potter
campaign leading up to the publication of J.K. Rowling's seventh and final Harry Potter book, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows:
At the end of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, Harry, Ron and Hermione discuss the possibility of Hogwarts closing. Hermione says she "can't bear the idea that we might never come back," yet Ron says "Everywhere's the same now. I'd even say Hogwarts is safer, there are more wizards inside to defend the place." Even the teachers are not sure whether the school will reopen -- or if it should.
Beginning today, fans can visit the Shrieking Shack Poll on
to vote for their favorite answer to WILL HOGWARTS REOPEN? and can also visit the Discussion Chamber Message Boards to converse with other fans. Of course, the final answers won't be known until after the book is released at 12: 01 a.m. on July 21, 2007.
On April 17, 2007, Scholastic released the first question in the 7 Questions of Harry Potter campaign – WHO WILL LIVE? WHO WILL DIE? The polls show that 93% of fans believe that Harry will live, and only 25% believe that Voldemort will die. The second question, IS SNAPE GOOD OR EVIL?, was released on May 1 and 71% of fans think that Snape is good.
Scholastic is releasing one question every two weeks – probing deeper and deeper into the big questions on the minds of Harry Potter fans everywhere. These are the hotly debated questions that readers hope J.K. Rowling will answer in the final installment. Each question will be posted on scholastic.com/harrypotter and select retailer websites, and will be announced through advertising and publicity outlets, as well as through retail promotions. Scholastic printed over 5.5 million bookmarks featuring each question that are available through retail locations while supplies last. Fans are encouraged to join the online discussions about the possible answers to each question. The final question will be released on July 6th, 2007.
Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, J.K. Rowling's sixth Harry Potter book, was released on July 16, 2005, and was the fastest-selling book in history selling 6.9 copies in the first 24 hours. All six Harry Potter books, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone, Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, as well as Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince have been number one bestsellers in the United States, Britain, and around the world. The American editions of the Harry Potter books are published under Scholastic's Arthur A. Levine imprint.

Bills get a break in the backfield
ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. -- What looked like a nightmarish situation for the status of Buffalo's running game on Sunday took a positive turn on Monday.
It appears Fred Jackson, out since Week 1 with a knee injury, may be able to return to action at least a couple weeks ahead of the original prognosis, meaning he could play in the AFC East showdown with New England Sunday at Ralph Wilson Stadium.
Further, the shoulder injury to C.J. Spiller -- which certainly looked serious when he went down in the first quarter of Buffalo's 24-14 victory over Cleveland -- isn't as bad as it could have been.
Coach Chan Gailey said Spiller's damaged left shoulder -- reportedly a sprain of the AC joint -- will most likely keep him out of the Patriots game, but it's possible he could return in time to face San Francisco on Oct. 7.
"I'm not going to completely rule him out this week," Gailey said of Spiller, "but I think it's more of a chance that he will not (play) than he will."

Below is the poem entitled Cerebral Labor which was written by poet
Allen. Please feel free to comment on this poem. However, please remember, PoetrySoup is a place of encouragement and growth.
Read Poems by
Skyy Allen
The words we speak
How clever, how cheap
With just a whisper
We turn cities into glitter
I feel the need for mourning
No, it's just no good
We're just no good
What's the use in proselytizing
The enigmatic, homophobic, problematic, religious fanatic?
Speaking words with little meaning
What's the use in spewing words with no residual resonance?
Clicking the clicker, hoping for a flicker
Just a bit of sugary static
The manic's are always the ones to leave everything undone
We make fun of worthless things
Wealthy women with loaded egos
Surrounded by air heads, a multitude of morons
It's bad enough I have to endure feelings I can't express
Must I entertain the notion of a people with good intentions?
Left captive in a cage
Stuck here, engaged in a fit of rage
I hope to negate the arrogant & obstinate
From enjoying the fruits of my cerebral labor.

Containment can also be used to store positive thoughts and feelings that can be drawn upon in difficult times to assist you with coping. There are a variety of things you can use for your positive containment store.
These Include:
For the containment store you can use any type of box or container. Try to be creative, such as collaging or drawing positive images on a wooden box for your positive containment store.
The primary purposes of containment are:
1) prevent you from feeling overwhelmed
2) increase your ability to cope with stressors
3) decrease dissociative episodes
4) prevent potentially dangerous behaviors
5) allow you to feel more in control of your thoughts
and emotions.
People often confuse containment with "stuffing feelings." It is important to know that these concepts are not the same thing. Containment is a temporary method to manage disruptive thoughts, feelings, or situations, until it is the appropriate time to deal with them.
For example, it would not be helpful to process a flashback just prior to going to bed but it may be helpful to discuss it with your therapist the next day.
Containment allows you to feel more in control of the situation, rather than feeling out of control. "Stuffing your feelings" is a method that encourages denial and not dealing with situations. This strategy often results in long-term negative consequences.
Many people initially find the skill of containment difficult to grasp; however, with practice it is something that you can apply to your life daily to improve you quality of living. It is extremely important that you practice containment daily. You should initially do this practice when you are not feeling overly stressed. As you gain increased understanding of you triggers and waring isgns, you can begin to use containment ot prevent potentially dangerous behaviors.
Strageties that you may choose to use are:

Counterfeit Sticker Operation Busted
State Police have charged a Lewiston man with running a huge counterfeit operation of Maine inspection stickers. Last week Troopers assigned to Troop B in Gray uncovered the operation being run out of a home at 1223 Sabattus Road in Lewiston, owned by 31 year old Percy Hutchins. Troopers searched the house and seized 27 counterfeit inspection stickers , in addition to ten others seized earlier in the investigation. Also seized were glass encased proofs, computers and a printer. Troopers believe Hutchins has been printing the bogus stickers since 2010 and may have produced hundreds and possibly thousands of counterfeit stickers. Those stickers were distributed throughout central Maine where they we sold for $100 or more.
Hutchins was charged with aggravated forgery and transported to the Androscoggin County Jail.
In recent years Troopers have seen an increase of high quality counterfeit inspection stickers throughout Maine. While it has become more difficult to spot them, Troopers continue to find them in increasing numbers, many times on vehicles that pose serious safety risks to the motoring public.

Saraghina: Bed-Stuy, Brooklyn
My wife and I stayed down the street from Saraghina on our honeymoon last May, and it was our first experience of NYC pizza. (We went onto take Scott's Pizza Tour later - it was the best!) I also thought the crust was a bit bland and underdone, but it was the first time I had eaten Neapolitan pizza on the east coast, so it's good to hear it wasn't just me.
The star of the meal (apart from the beautiful garden and ball jar house red) was a delicious purée of rich, olive oil laden favas cut with sharp, bitter dandelion greens. Like spring in a bowl!
