- Disclaimer
- How to Read a Study Record
This is a Phase II open-label trial of maintenance FANG™ autologous tumor cell vaccine. Tumor will be harvested at the time of surgical debulking (standard of medical care). Subsequently, patients achieving clinical CR following primary surgical debulking and doublet chemotherapy will be stratified for i) surgical stage (Stage IV or suboptimal debulking (>1 cm residual) Stage III disease versus Stage III patients with optimal debulking (<1 cm residual)) and ii) post-op chemotherapy, pre-vaccine CA-125 >10 ≤ 20 U/mL versus 0≤10 U/ml. (Note: patients with Stage IIIc ovarian cancer will be additionally evaluated as a subset using descriptive statistics only). Patients will receive 1.0 x 10^7 cells / intradermal injection of gene transfected autologous tumor cells, FANG™, once a month for up to 12 doses as long as sufficient material is available. Enough harvested tissue to provide a minimum of 4 monthly injections will be required for entry into the study. Hematologic function, liver enzymes, renal function and electrolytes will be monitored monthly. Immune function analysis including ELISPOT analysis of cytotoxic T cell function to autologous tumor antigens will be monitored at (≤24 hours before) tissue harvest, ≤24 hours before the first cycle of chemotherapy (post debulking), ≤24 hours before the third cycle of chemotherapy (post debulking), baseline (screening), prior to FANG™ injection Months 2, 4, 6 and at EOT. The dates of the last dose of chemotherapy and the administration of FANG™ vaccine #1 will be recorded. Treatment will be continued until disease recurrence or exhaustion of the patient's vaccine supply. If ≥ Grade 2 toxicity by NCI Common Toxicity Criteria (excluding Grade 2 fever ≤ 24 hours and Grade 2 and 3 injection site reactions) develops related to study treatment the vaccine dose will be reduced by 50% and continued on a monthly basis. If a single patient develops ≥ Grade 3 toxicity (other than injection site reaction) related to study treatment the trial will be placed on hold for reevaluation of design in discussion with FDA. During this hold, no new subjects will initiate dosing, but subjects already being dosed may continue dosing as scheduled if deemed clinically appropriate by the PI.

Biological: FANG™
intradermal autologous FANG™ (1.0 x 10^7 cells/injection; maximum of 12 vaccinations)
Detailed Description:
Despite a gradual improvement in their overall survival over the past decade, approximately 75% of women with Stage IIIC ovarian cancer who achieve a complete clinical response will relapse as will 50% of those achieving pathologic complete response at a median time of 18-24 months. Phase III studies of both maintenance and consolidation therapeutic interventions have not translated into an overall survival advantage. Preliminary studies of immunotherapy in patients with ovarian cancer suggest target accessibility (potential immunogenicity) to immune mediated approaches. In an effort to overcome limitations of immunostimulatory cancer vaccines, we designed a novel autologous whole cell vaccine, FANG™, incorporating the rhGMCSF transgene and the bifunctional shRNA^furin (to block proprotein conversion to active TGFb1 and b2) to 1) address the inability to fully identify cancer associated antigens, 2) effect antigen recognition by the immune system (i.e. antigen→immunogen), 3) enhance effector potency, and 4) subvert endogenous cancer-induced immune resistance. A Phase I assessment of FANG™ vaccine in 33 advanced solid tumor patients (1 of them being a pediatric patient 15 years of age) receiving ≥1 vaccination (at a dose of 1.0 x 10^7 or 2.5 x 10^7 cells/injection/month for a maximum of 12 vaccinations) demonstrated safety of the FANG™ vaccine. Furthermore, proof of principle was established in the manufactured vaccines with increased mean GMCSF expression post-transfection to 1135 pg/10^6 cells/ml and knockdown of furin, TGFb1 and TGFb2 at 78%, 93%, and 95%, respectively). In addition, although a Phase I study, the data suggested an overall survival benefit.

Despite starting off their region season on a down note, the Mont Harmon boys basketball team knows that hard work can pay off in the end.
The Mont Harmon boys lost their first three games in region play before going on a four-game winning streak that pushed them towards the Castle Valley Athletic Association Championship.
After defeating Canyon View 53-40 in the semifinals of the region tournament, the Pirates found themselves in the championship game against their rivals from Helper Junior High. Using a balanced offensive attack, the Pirates were able to put away the rival Rams 58-41 to claim the CVAA Championship last week.
During the team's winning streak they defeated San Rafael (49-45), Canyon View (54-41) and Helper (66-55) to finish out the regular season. They defeated Canyon View in the semifinals of the CVAA playoffs and followed that up with the win over Helper in the championship.
Head coach Ryan Maughan said his team played hard over the season and played even better when CVAA tournament play started.
"Playing with a new coach and a new system, the boys played better as a team as the season progressed," Maughan said.
The Mont Harmon Junior High girls basketball team had plenty to smile about after defeating Canyon View 47-45 in the Castle Valley Athletic Association tournament final last week.
The Lady Pirates finished region play with a 5-1 record and went into the CVAA tournament by defeating rival Helper Junior High in the semifinals.
Then in the championship game against Canyon View, the Lady Pirates were down by eight points heading into the fourth quarter. Head coach Doug Morris said the team began pressing Canyon which caused turnovers and led to scoring opportunities for Mont Harmon. An eight point deficit turned into a 10 point lead for the Lady Pirates in the fourth quarter before holding on for the two point win securing the victory in the championship game.
"We ended the game very strong," said Morris. "It's fun to see the girls do so well despite being down early in the fourth quarter."

Multiple sclerosis is a debilitating, often deadly disease that attacks the body's central nervous system. It can devastate a victim's brain, spinal cord, optic nerves and vision.
Approximately 400,000 people in the United States are living with MS. Worldwide, more than 2.1 million people are afflicted with the disease, many with different symptoms and levels of severity.
The disease is unpredictable. While treatments and medication currently on the market can help slow down the attacks, there is no cure.
But the cure for MS just might be sitting right in southeastern Wisconsin's backyard.
Endece LLC, a Mequon-based drug discovery company, recently formed Endece Neural, a subsidiary company focused on neurological drug development. More specifically, Endece Neural is pursing the development of a drug that could help repair and even reverse the damage caused by MS.
Endece's work is getting some attention in the world of MS research.
"We're very excited about the Endece compounds," said Jay Tung, president of drug discovery at the Myelin Repair Foundation in San Francisco.
Endece hopes to collect enough data so the U.S. Food and Drug Administration will accelerate clinical testing enough to have the drug on the market in five to seven years.
"We've already proven that our compound and even our backup compounds work in in vitro (in Petri dish) environments," said James Yarger, chief executive officer of Endece.
The central nervous system is made up of the brain, the spinal cord and the optic nerves in a body.
"Everyone's nerves are protected by a fatty substance, called myelin, that acts as an insulator and protects our nerves from being damaged," he said. "As we age, the cells designed to produce that myelin naturally slow down."
In a healthy individual, slowed myelin production is not a significant issue. However, for people with MS, their own body attacks the existing myelin tissue and leaves the nerves exposed and vulnerable to damage.
Once the nerves are damaged, nerve impulses traveling to and from the brain and spinal cord can become distorted or interrupted, which can sometimes lead to debilitations such as loss of vision, decreased motor skills and even movement, Yarger said.
"Existing therapies for treating MS are directed at the inflammation and the immune response aspects of the disease, not myelin production," Yarger said. "Without the restoration of the myelin, there will be no cure for MS."
Yarger and his wife, Jean, founded Endece six years ago after Yarger left Grafton-based Cedarburg Pharmaceuticals Inc., a company he founded in 1998.
Yarger left Cedarburg Pharmaceuticals to pursue his passion of drug discovery, he said.
"We founded Endece in order to produce a new, viable approach to drug discovery."
The success of Endece so far has been backed by approximately $14.5 million dollars in private funds from four private investors in Wisconsin.
"All of them were truly vested in the concept and what we were trying to do from the very beginning," Yarger said. "They had the net worth to do this, and I feel they wanted to give back to society. They felt like we were trying to and were going to do something important, and they wanted to be a part of it."
The investors have asked to remain anonymous. Now that the company has founded Endece Neural, Yarger also will pursue additional funding beyond what the current investors have invested in the company.
"They can't do everything, and with the new subsidiary comes new opportunity for investment and for growth," he said.
Yarger and his staff at Endece focus on compounds that look similar to what the body already naturally uses, Yarger said.
Instead of taking compounds the body uses and inactivating their nuclear receptors, the parts of cells that are partially responsible for how that cell works with other proteins to regulate specific genes, Endece changes them and in turn changes how they react with certain genes.
"We discovered and patented that concept, and what we've ended up with is a proprietary library of compounds we can work with," Yarger said. "Right now, we can't and don't predict what each little change will do. We let the chemicals tell us what they do. It's very interesting, and it's what led us to the opportunity for the MS compounds."
Through their research, Yarger and Steven Nye, director of scientific programs at Endece, identified a small subset of chemicals that were able to essentially turn on the genes associated with the regeneration of myelin.
Dr. Bruce Trapp, professor and chairman of the department of neurosciences at the Lerner Research Institute at the Cleveland Clinic, is a world renowned expert on MS. Trapp, through Cleveland Clinic's spin-off research company Renovo Neural Inc., was one of the first people to test the effects of Endece's compound.
"Renovo Neural was contracted to do a blind test on the effects of the compound on the differentiation of myelin," Trapp said. "Endece asked us to test a number of compounds for myelin formation in culture dishes."
On more than one occasion, one compound showed significant promotion of oligodendrocyte differentiation and myelin production, Trapp said.
The oligodendrocyte cell is responsible for producing the myelin covering for nerves in the central nervous system.
"When one looks at therapies for MS patients now, there are some very effective anti-inflammatory therapies that can slow the attacks on the myelin, but they cannot stop it completely," Trapp said. "That is where Endece's compound comes in. If a drug could be developed that would actually repair the formation of myelin, I believe it would be used in combination with those anti-inflammatory therapies. It would not compete. It would be an add-on that would expand the number of treatment options currently available for MS patients."
The next step
Not all patients are eligible to receive anti-inflammatory treatments, Trapp said. But all MS patients would qualify for a myelin repair therapy, he said.
The compounds have been proven successful in Petri dish environments. The next step, according to Trapp, is to test whether or not the compound will enhance myelin repair in animal models of MS.
Nye expects animal testing to begin within the next four to six months.
"We've got a significant amount of data that indicates our lead compound and even some of our backup compounds have the ability to signal pathways for oligodendrocyte differentiation and myelin production," Nye said. "We're currently doing formulation studies to decide what form of the compound is the most effective in getting the compound to the brain. It has to get there to be the most effective."
Once its efficacy in the rodent model is proven, the next step would be toxicology and moving it into phase one clinical trials on human patients with MS.
"If it works, the end product will be a tremendous increase in the quality of life for MS patients," Trapp said.
"The opportunities we have with these types of compounds are endless," Nye said. "We're confident this strategy will work, and if this particular compound needs to be changed, we have a whole library of compounds, and we'll select the one with the best attributes that will definitely work. That's the advantage Endece has. A lot of drug discovery companies have one shot. Our business model and our patents give us more opportunity to succeed."
Yarger expects phase one clinical trials in humans to begin within the next two years.
"The Food and Drug Administration will occasionally accelerate reviews for products where there is currently nothing on the market," he said. "As long as we can demonstrate safety and efficacy in the stages leading up to clinical trials we hope the process will be accelerated and we can potentially get this drug on the market within five or six years rather than seven or eight."
A collaborative business
"The most important part of what we do, and what our investors liked about us, is that we didn't form the company to do 'me too' things," Yarger said. "Our concept was to see if we can truly make a difference, and our long term goals were to find some cures."
The company has set out to do more than just extend life by a month or two, Yarger said.
"While that's important, it's also not sufficient, in our minds," he said. "We know that if you don't set out to find a cure, you probably aren't going to."
The four initial investors in Endece liked the concept that the company wasn't spending money on building a huge laboratory. The company keeps a small full-time staff and forms partnerships with laboratories and research entities around the world.
"We're not a mom-and-pop operation," Yarger said. "Our business model allows us to work with the best advisors and the best labs in the world. We collaborate with the best experts on MS. We're agile, and because of that we can move a lot more quickly than some firms who have to train their own personnel in their own laboratories."
Endece approached the Myelin Repair Foundation once they discovered and patented the compound.
"Not only is the compound they've developed unique, the collaboration itself is unique," Tung said. "Endece has been very, very open to discussion with us. Even though they have the proprietary chemical compound, they recognize the expertise that our foundation offers. They realize that we have the critical tools to move this process forward, which ultimately is what we want to do."
Endece is also working side-by-side with the Cleveland Clinic and its spinoff company Renovo Neural and is in discussions with the National Multiple Sclerosis Society, Yarger said.
"The most important thing for Endece and its investors is that we get the drugs to the patients who need them properly and as soon as possible," Yarger said. "It seems like an obvious track, but the way to do that is to get input and collaborate with the experts who've studied the disease.
The fact that we've been able to produce and test effective compounds in such a short period of time is proof that the collaborative model works effectively. We own the patents to the compounds so we aren't worried about someone stealing our ideas."
Endece shares the structure of the compounds under confidentiality agreements with the labs and organizations it works with.
The collaborative spirit is refreshing for Tung, and something he says has helped speed up the testing process for the Endece compounds.
"Pharmaceutical and bio-pharmaceutical companies are traditionally very guarded with their information. That forces things to take a very long time to get to the stage where the Endece compound is at," Tung said. "Endece sees the value in collaborating with the people on our boards and our research advisors. Because of the culture Jim has set up at Endece it has allowed us to move this forward and accelerate the entire process throughout this continuum. Most of the time it doesn't work that way. In fact, it generally doesn't."
Tung, like Yarger, expects the Endece compound to be in Phase 1 clinical trials by 2014.
"I do think that's an audacious goal, but we believe together we have the strategy to do that," Tung said. "The normal timeline for a venture like this is about four to five years. We think we can accelerate that. We are investing time and resources into Endece's venture, and we view Endece's collaboration as a medium to short term length strategy."
Yarger plans to take the same collaborative approach once it comes time for the company to select a pharmaceutical company partner to manufacture the drug. He also plans to take a serious look at some Wisconsin companies for at least one site for the clinical trials.
"What we do well is drug discovery," Yarger said. "Our business model is to get us to clinical trials and currently our strategy is to not go beyond that phase. We plan to partner with a pharmaceutical company, license the compound to them and, with our input, have them take it where it needs to go."
Yarger hopes Endece can be an example of how collaboration can lead to success.
"I hope we can be a good model for others," Yarger said. "Maybe collaboration is the way things in the pharmaceutical world need to get done from now on. This process has at least proven it can make things move faster, all for the benefit of patients who need treatment.

Marco Rubio, the Grand Old Party's Great Hispanic Hope, appears to be the party's early frontrunner for president in 2016, which must make him nervous. Early frontrunners have often shown a talent for missing the White House, as the governors Romney, George and Mitt, discovered. Yet Rubio is hardly shunning the limelight, embracing instead every opportunity to go after Barack Obama. The latest gauntlet hurled at the president's feet was Rubio's reaction during the weekend over a leaked draft of the White House strategy for granting citizenship for illegal immigrants. The Florida senator is himself part of the bipartisan "gang of eight" that is promoting a "pathway to citizenship" for illegal immigrants, but he was irate that the White House was drafting a plan without input from himself and other Republicans.
Chosen by the party brass to deliver the GOP response to the State of the Union address last week, Rubio, a bilingual Floridian of Cuban descent, delivered his address in both English and Spanish, while confining his criticism of the president to domestic economic policies. On Friday, however, he was on the Foreign Policy magazine website with an article taking Obama to task over his handling of international affairs. His critique of the Obama doctrine reads like standard-issue neocon talking points, suggesting that a Rubio foreign policy would be little different, if at all, from that of George W. Bush — or Barack Obama.
For all of its bold, assertive rhetoric, the foreign policy Republicans are pushing as an alternative to Obama's supposed passivity is really a call for more of the same. When Obama increases economic sanctions on Iran, Republicans call for still more and tougher sanctions — "crippling sanctions" is the phrase often used by Romney in last year's presidential campaign. When the president condemned the Tehran regime for its brutal crackdown on dissidents, the condemnation wasn't strong enough and wasn't issued soon enough. When he pledges virtually unqualified support for Israel, Republicans complain he is throwing Israel "under the bus." When he expresses support for the Syrian rebels and arranges arms shipments from foreign sources, it isn't enough to suit Republican hawks. When Obama sent U.S. bombers to the rescue of rebel forces in Libya in 2011, the fact that he intervened militarily in a foreign war without seeking congressional approval seemed the least of the concerns of most congressional Republicans. Depending on the day of the week and who was speaking at any particular time, the complaint could be summarized as, Obama was wrong to go into Libya and he should have done it sooner.

Hi! I would need to build a scheduler system using PHP-Apache-MySQL under Windows or Linux, that enable me to schedule pager messages to different users.
There should be a form from which a user would post his preferences, telling the system that he wants to receive a certain kind of pager message for example each: Mon-Wed-Fri at 8am, etc, etc and schedule his messages.
From my side, I think there should be a process that continuously checks the MySQL tables to see if there is any pending messages to be sent on that moment and accept new ones.
Any idea on how to build it ?
Do you know any Open Source solution ?
I look forward to your quick reply
Thank you very much in advance!

Councilman Jeffrey M. Smith remembered the days when skating rinks were opened at Thompson Park and several schools throughout the city.
Now, after decades, outdoor ice skating finally will return to Thompson Park.
Parks and Recreation Department employees have made a 50-by-100-foot ice rink near the pool house. It opens today.
I think its an opportunity to get interest in the park in the winter. It will give kids and families an activity. Its better than playing video games indoors, Mr. Smith said. And its free.
When skaters get too cold, they can retreat to the pool bathhouse, where they can warm up or use the restrooms. A Parks Department employee will staff those facilities only from 5 to 8 p.m. Mondays through Fridays and from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. on weekends.
Skate rentals will not be available.
But there will be lights for nighttime skating. Music will be played on speakers that have been placed outdoors.
Weve been planning this since last summer, Parks and Recreation Department Superintendent Erin E. Gardner said.
Working in bitterly cold weather in recent days, parks employees used garden hoses to flood patches of open space to create the 3-inch-thick sheet of ice.
Last winter, they tried to make an outdoor skating rink at the Alex T. Duffy Fairgrounds, but the weather did not cooperate and the ice quickly melted, Mr. Smith said. This time, Thompson Park where the traffic circle in front was one of the most popular places to skate in the city years ago was chosen.
It gives people on both sides of town a place to skate, Mrs. Gardner said.
For decades, the city opened several outdoor ice rinks on athletic fields at schools and neighborhood playgrounds.
A large rink at the old Case Junior High School that featured boards and lights for night skating was popular with skaters. Other rinks were at the Knickerbocker and Sherman elementary schools, Mr. Smith recalled.
I remember getting out of school and going down to Knickerbocker to play hockey, he said.
But the outdoor rinks became history because of budget cuts and the availability of the indoor rink at the fairgrounds arena.

Has Anyone Turned down 80 Pistons?
So, does anyone have any opinions as to whether this would dangerously weaken one of these things to the point of failure in use? By the way, the repop pistons from Ted are of similar construction, which is what I would do the actual surgery on to use in my new 88" stroker. I'm going to turn down the skirts some to shorten them to clear the flywheels for sure, so while I've got the lathe going, I'm wondering the feasibility in cutting the crown as well.
Thanks in advance,

Built for Skiers. The Atomic Skiwear Lookbook 14/15.
His personal expectations had been curbed after a painful, sleepless night, "As far as my cervical vertebra is concerned it does not matter whether it is a championship race or not – it just hurts like hell, my head has been grumbling, normally you would stay in bed."
But what is actually normal? For Marcel one thing was normal in this WSC giant slalom, "To keep giving – as much as possible." And considering the circumstances it worked out perfectly well, "I think you could tell in the first run: In contrast to other races, I lacked some of my dynamic today." In between the two runs Marcel had another hour of therapy, "Either I didn't feel the pain so much anymore in the second run or I was able to ignore it better. I felt, 'Ok, it's working out better now', but I didn't expect to lead."
How does Marcel feel after winning his second medal at the home World Ski Championships? "To be honest: It was the most difficult race! The mental challenge of WSC races is quite a big deal – and then you also have to deal with some physical issues! It was an acid test, but gaining the silver medal and racing the best time in the second run is a dream; I am very happy about my fierce performance."
The further therapy plan, "Stabilize the vertebra, get the tension out of my body and tomorrow's slalom will actually be the best therapy."

By KEVIN SCANNELLSun Advocate sports reporter
With the high school baseball season now in full swing, the Carbon High Dinos will need to find their groove in a hurry as an 0-2 start in Region 12 play has them in an unfamiliar position looking up in the standings.
Starting off the Region 12 schedule with two games against Spanish Fork did the Dinos no favors as they dropped both matchups last week, including a 12-7 loss at Spanish Fork on March 26 and a 5-2 defeat at home on March 28.
The Dinos fell behind 2-0 in the first inning but starting pitcher Jarod Lessar began to find his rhythm as he pitched into the fifth inning before being taken out.
The Dinos offense tied the game at 2-2 in the bottom of the second inning with timely hitting from Nick Rukavina and Derek Young.
But that was all the Dinos could muster against Spanish Fork pitcher Cortlen Nielsen who pitched a complete game allowing two runs and four hits.
Carbon High head coach Troy Moynier said his team has struggled on offense all season long. With a short break in Region 12 play this week, Moynier said he is hoping that the team will work on improving in every facet before resuming region play next week.
"We need to work on being more aggressive at the plate," said Moynier after Thursday's 5-2 loss. "We need to take the ball the other way, get on base and focus on doing the little things needed to win."
The Dinos will travel to play Olympus High on Wednesday, April 3 before returning home to host East High on Friday, April 5 at 3 p.m. at the Carbon High Baseball Field.

Bye Silva. You made these forums more interesting.
Well, pretty much everyone else never really participated in lengthy fighting/discourse with me, so yeah.

@ Brooklyn Cyclones 5, Aberdeen Ironbirds 4
Chris Hilliard earned the victory for the Cyclones, his franchise leading 11th career victory. Hilliard pitched five shutout innings, giving up three hits, walking two, and striking out three. This is Hilliard's third tour in Brooklyn and he should be able to hold on to that victory record for a long time.
Daniel Muno continued to swing a hot bat out of the lead-off spot, going 1 for 3 with a triple and two runs scored. Muno, the Mets 8th round pick, is now 6 for 13 on the season and has scored a run in all four Cyclone games.
After scouring the GCL Mets roster, there are not many household names on it.
17- year old Gabriel Ynoa (5 IP, 7 hits, 3 er, 2K, HR) got the start for the Mets.
Jeyckol De Leon led the offense with a 2 for 4 effort and two RBI.

Really helped to condition our gloves and keep them soft.
I'm 53 years old tried every product on the market Nokona Glove conditioner is the the best.Easy to work with easy to clean up, its just a great product, there are others that work good, however a small tube of it goes along ways. Great service from Rampage, overall great experience., ,
Bottom Line: I would recommend to a friend
The NLT glove conditioner is amazing. It breaks in the glove quick.
Rate Nokona's conditioner as the best in the market as well as a best buy.
Pros: Best conditioner for gloves
Cons: None
Been using it on my son's gloves since he was 8. He just committed D1. Gets the job done.
Cleans very well, and conditions glove, but break-in is very slow with this conditioner.
I use it about 3 times a year on me glove.
Pros: Goes on easy and protection is great.
Cons: NONE
Use this all the time to help break gloves in and maintain after the season
Pros: Great product
A truly great product, the gel-like texture goes on much easier and more evenly than any oil. Also works well with a rag to remove dirt from a used glove.
you can not condition a glove too much

Welcome Rangers fans to the Blueshirt Bulletin Live Game Blog. Tonight, the Devils are at the Garden for their second meeting of the season.
The Rangers will look to rebound off a bad 7 - 3 game ag
Lines will be tweaked tonight as Donald Brashear sits in favor of Aaron Voros and Artem Anisimov will center Chris Higgins and Enver Lisin.
Henrik Lundqvist is back in net looking for his seventh win of the season.
Warmups are wrapping up and we'll be back with the live game action shortly.
7:16 - Game underway, a lot of action along the boards early, especially a great hit by Dan Girardi. Avery gets into his first fight of the season with former Ranger Mike Mottau after a big hit on the boards.
7:17 - A long fight results in an Avery knockdown. That intensive offseason training seems to have paid off.
7:20 - Parise scores for the Devils as Dan Girardi is caught flat footed on the blueline. 1 - 0 Devils
7:22 - Rangers take another offensive zone penalty as Ales Kotalik is called for tripping
7:26 - Penalty ends. A good kill by the Rangers. Chris Higgins had an aggressive shift.
7:33 - After a lot of setup time in the offensive zone, Lundqvist bails the Rangers out on a 2-on-1 the other way. The Rangers have been able to establish a lot of setup time, but haven't gotten many quality shots.
7:36 - Marc Staal commits an unforced turnover in the neutral zone that leads to a pretty pass by Dave Clarkson to Nicklas Bergfors for a tip-in to put the Devils up 2-0. 3:22 to go.
7:45 - Period ends with a flurry in front led by Sean Avery. Callahan had a great end to end rush, but the Rangers couldn't capitalize. Shots on Goal: Rangers - 7, Devils - 8
7:57 - Belated congratulations to Mike Richter, Jim Devellano, and Mark Messier on their Lester Patrick Awards. Well deserved honors.
8:00 - Out of town notes: Philadelphia leading Boston 1 - 0, Capitals leading Atlanta 2 - 1 , Tampa Bay leads San Jose 1 - 0. All games in the first period. Period two underway
8:04 - Rangers have lost their physical edge. It's a lot of back and forth so far. Devils take a penalty, Mike Mottau for high sticking.
8:05 - Nearly off the faceoff, Rangers get a power play goal on a Gaborik shot from the point. May have been deflected
8:07 - Del Zotto steps up for Lundqvist as Brian Rolston gets a late shot in.
8:24 - Power play pretty uneventful except an early scramble. 7:35 to go
8:26 - Breakaway goal by Ales Kotalik on a threaded pass from Dan Girardi
8:30 - In case anyone was wondering, Kotalik's favorite band is U2. Vital, vital information.
8:38 - Period ends 2 - 2 tie. Perhaps the Rangers best second period on the season. Much more energy, and were the aggressors rather than sitting back. The second line of Drury, Avery, and Callahan has been very visible. Kotalik continues to gain confidence. Shots on Goal: Rangers - 20, Devils - 14
8:53 - Third period a minute away. The early part of this period will be critical. Both teams have now dominated one period. Who can come out early and put the others on their heels?
8:56 - Tortorella changes lines. Lisin up front with Gaborik and Prospal. Dubinsky with Higgins and Callahan. Maybe temporary?
8:57 - Drury now centering Avery and Kotalik.
8:58 - I like these new lines. Anisimov has looked a step behind while Kotalik and Higgins have played better. I would be hesitant on the first line only because if it ain't broke...
9:03 - Gaborik pressures Brodeur behind the net and almost puts it in the empty net. 13 minutes to go
9:05 - Devils take the lead on a bouncing puck tipped at the last second by Dainus Zubrus. Girardi missed him to the side of the net. 3 - 2 Devils.
9:09 - Henrik flashes the glove on a short breakaway by Zajac. Rangers are teetering on their composure. Shots 25 - 22 in favor of the Rangers.
9:15 - Rozsival misses an open shot wide and the Devils come back 2-on-1. Lundqvist makes the stop, but the Rangers are now taking some chances. 5:53 remaining and the crowd is getting rowdy.

CUMBERLAND — Stranding runners on base has been a sore subject with Cumberland High this month, but on Monday afternoon, the Clippers were able to deliver some timely hits in their Division I crossover battle with East Providence High at Tucker Field.
Rebecca Geddes, Samantha Bertherman, and Bridget Connors each drove in a run during a four-run uprising in the home half of the fourth inning, and that rally, parlayed with the dominant one-hit pitching of senior ace Bethany Paul, helped the hosts grab a 4-1 victory.
The Clippers, who raised their record to 4-3, entered the game with an ugly statistic in the LOB department – 47 runners stranded on the sacks in their six games. That includes the 10 from a stunning 1-0 loss to Toll Gate High last Thursday, and the seven (six in scoring position) in their wild 8-5 defeat the previous week to division rival Lincoln High.
"We finally had an inning there where we hit the ball hard and drove in some runs," said Cumberland coach Marty Crowley. "I thought a lot of our kids had better swings today. Hitting's contagious, and it's good that we finally had an inning like that, but you want to be more consistent when it comes to putting runners on base."
Against the Townies and senior southpaw pitcher Erin Strik, who was making her second varsity start, the Clippers were able to collect 10 hits and only leave four runners on base.
Four of their hits came in the decisive fourth inning, and three of them came with one out and helped the Clippers erase a 1-0 deficit.
Kaitlyn Pluta, who went 3-for-3 with three opposite-field singles to right field, got things going with a base hit and scored on a long double to left by Geddes, who moved up to the No. 6 slot in the lineup after belting a pair of home runs in two of the Clippers' last three games.
Geddes' hit might have been caught by left fielder Courtney DeCastro had she not slip on the wet outfield grass, but when she stumbled on her first step after the hit, Pluta was able to speed around the basepaths and score with ease.
Geddes, who took second on the throw back into the infield, then scored on Bertherman's sharp ground single to left.
Bertherman also took second on the throw back to the infield, and after she went to third on a groundout to first by Kelsey Cahill, she came home when Kayleigh Martins lofted a fly ball to center that was misplayed for an error.
"I thought (Strik) pitched a very good game, keeping a very potent offense somewhat in check," added E.P. coach Rob Traverse. "We just have to make plays. We're averaging about five errors a game. It could have been a 2-1, 3-1 game and who knows what could happen."
Connors then concluded the rally with a ground single up the middle to plate Martins and give Paul more than enough support.
And speaking of Paul, she was outstanding in striking out a dozen batters, walking three, and allowing just three batted balls to reach the outfield.
The Townies scored their run in their opening swings on their lone hit, a two-out ground single to right by Alyssa Rizzi that drove in Lindsee Allienello, who reached base on an infield error and took second on a wild pitch. But after that, the Townies were only able to get one runner as far as second base off Paul.
"She pitched really well today," said Crowley. "She was spotting her pitches, (catcher) Krissy (Peffer) did a great job calling (the game), and their senior leadership definitely showed today. Beth's just getting better and better each time out. It's been a week since she pitched, so she was very fresh and rested."
Before their fourth-inning rally, the Clippers nearly broke on the board in the third, when with one out, hits by Connors and Peffer placed runners in scoring position for Paul, their lethal No. 3 batter.
But Paul lofted a high fly to center that was gloved by center fielder Amanda Horton, and when Connors tagged up and tried to score on the flyout, she was thrown out at home on a perfect throw from Horton to Allienello behind the plate.
"We ran into outs a couple of times, once at the plate and the other on the back end of a hit, and we got caught stealing a couple of times," noted Crowley, "but we're trying to be aggressive on the bases, and sometimes it pays off, and sometimes it doesn't. You can't change your philosophy."
The Townies, who fell to 2-5 in the division, are fielding one of their youngest teams in recent memory and have four sophomores among the top six batters in their lineup.
"We only have two players who have played the field for two years or more, so we're learning," said Traverse. "My goal is that in the second half (of the season), we'll have a good team and we'll steal a couple of games, but this was a tough game to steal.
"Cumberland's good. They were picked to be in the upper echelon. Marty and (assistant coach) Tony George do a great job with that team. We would have had to play flawless softball today, and that's something we haven't done yet this year."
Both the Clippers and Townies have difficult games awaiting them tomorrow afternoon. The Clippers will visit Division I-Central leader Cranston West High, while the Townies entertain Division I state finalist Mount St. Charles Academy at Pierce Field.
East Providence 100 000 0—1-1-1
Cumberland 000 400 x—4-10-1
Erin Strik and Lindsee Allienello; Bethany Paul and Krissy Peffer. 2B – Rebecca Geddes (C).

What Is Sofrito
Know Your Ingredients: Sofrito
Like us on Facebook
- Spain: There, sofrito equates to a sauté of minced garlic, onion, and tomatoes in olive oil — similar to a mirepoix —that is served with dishes like the famous tortilla española.
- Caribbean: In contrast, dishes calling for sofrito might include bell peppers and chile peppers with herbs, such as annatto seeds, onions, and ham, cooked in strained lard.
- Cuba: Cooks making sofrito will flavor onions, garlic, and bell peppers with cumin, bay leaves, cilantro, culantro, and tomatoes, using the base in everything from beans to ropa vieja to rice.
- Puerto Rico: This country's cuisine often calls for the addition of cured meats, culantro, and ají dulce, or "sweet" peppers, to sofrito.
- Eastern Mediterranean: In Sephardic cuisine, which also makes use of the term, it refers to soup stock flavored with lemon juice, garlic, turmeric, and cardamom, which is used to cook meat, poultry, and fish.
Have you ever cooked a dish that calls for sofrito? How do you define the term?

So Xiao recently posted about makeup storage on her blog, and I got the bug. Sadly, my actual makeup storage is a bit up in the air at the moment (still scattered between shoe boxes, makeup bags and my handbag), but I recently got my brush storage sorted out and wanted to share.
Face and Lip Brushes
I used to store all my brushes in a huge brush roll I made, but I found that the bigger brushes (for cheeks and powder) got flattened on one side and basically became misshapen. So I decided to store them upright in some tea jars I had lying around. My main issue with storing brushes upright in jars is that they tend to get dust/fluff/air-stuff on them, and powder applied with a lint-covered brush looks kind of crap. So naturally, because I am super classy, I decided to cover the jars with those free shower caps you get in hotels. While this doesn't look too pretty it's great because:
- It keeps dust off
- It clings tight to the jar, so it's not always falling off
- It balloons out over the top of the jar, so it's not pressing down against the brushes, just protecting them.
I like to keep as many brushes as possible in their original packaging and plastic tubes – partly because it helps them keep their shape, and partly because I think it may protect them …somehow. I tend to do this with my makeup as well – keeping it in the cardboard boxes it came in.
Eye Brushes
If I had an extra tea caddy, I could easily store my eye brushes in there, but
- I don't and
- I like to be able to see them all laid out.
I have many eye brushes that can do the same thing, so it's nice to be able to see them all at once and maybe pick a brush I haven't used recently instead of going straight for old favourites. So I chose to put these in a brush roll. With bunnies on it.
The brush roll is sorted with application on the left, then multipurpose, then blenders, then detail, and then liner. Then the random yachiyo because it's too small to fit in the caddies.
The Mizubake
Storage for the Mizubake perplexed me up until recently, it was too short to go in the tea caddies, too fluffy to go in a brush roll, and the plastic box it came in had been crushed long ago.
I eventually decided on using an empty vitamin pot. I had to put it in the dishwasher and then soak it in Dr. Bronners solution to get rid of that strange vitamin smell, but now it makes a perfect storage container for the Mizubake.
I don't have to worry about hairs splaying because this vitamin jar is a perfect fit, but if it were too big, I'd put some cotton pads at the bottom to lift the brush so the hairs don't get caught under the neck of the bottle.
How do you store your makeup brushes? Or, how would you want to store your brushes if you had the time/makeup/energy? Bonus points for links to pictures!

Mets are "very interested" in Grady Sizemore
SNY's Kevin Burkhardt says the Mets are "very interested" in OF Grady Sizemore.
Sizemore, 29, did not play in 2012 and has played in only 210 games since 2009, while hitting just .234 with 28 home runs and 109 RBI.
He recently underwent micro-fracture surgery on his right knee and is expected to miss the first half of the 2013 season.
Michael Baron, ContributorThere is no question Sizemore is a big injury risk; and there's no telling how he might respond from these knee surgeries over the long-term. However, prior to these injuries Sizemore was one of the best center fielders and most exciting players in the game. It will be awhile before he's ready, and so the Mets would still need to acquire more outfielders (especially right-handed outfielders) in addition to Sizemore. Last winter, Sizemore was reportedly willing to move to a corner outfield spot, and so he could be a worthy gamble to take on an incentive-based deal.

I think they'll be going for something that won't get them caught up in the Hook Agility Eventatron. Remember two seasons back, when fourteen of their best Jiggernauts got slammed because of those ultra-size doilies?! I think it'll be figure-hugging latex, because they don't want to go there again.Tigger_the_Wing wrote:My thoughts exactly. On a happier note, which strip do you think the Tigers will be wearing this season? My preference is for the Magenta leotard and Sky Blue tutu, but I gather there is a rather fetching chocolate-and-taupe crinoline in the pipeline. I personally think they made a mistake with the footwear last season. Those lemon-and-lime steel toe-caps did nothing for their agility.

How far in advance can you make these and have the marshmallows stay soft? I thought about using as a cake or cupcake topper?ReplyDeleteReplies
You can make these several days in advance, but keep them in a tightly covered container. If you use them for cupcake toppers make sure to keep the fruit roll up from touching the frosting. ..it will eventually melt if you do. Hope thus helps. :)Delete

The 6-foot-4, 200-pound fireballer was the on-mound anchor for the CIF-Southern Division 4 champions. The Star's Player of the Year finished with a flourish, fanning a season-high 18 as the Lions beat El Rancho 4-0 in the CIF title game. He recorded the final 17 outs via strikeout. Just a week later, he was selected 10th overall by the Toronto Blue Jays in the Major League Baseball amateur draft. The CIF Division 4 Player of the Year was 12-1 with a 0.58 ERA and 146 strikeouts in 84.2 innings. Opposing hitters hit just .150 against him and he walked just 11.
The Pacific View League's Most Valuable Player was instrumental in the Yellowjackets' march to the league title and the quarterfinals of the Division 2 playoffs. The 6-foot utility player batted .471 with a slugging percentage of .643 and an on-base percentage of .494. Included were 20 RBIs and one home run. The school's scholar-athlete enjoys hanging out with his friends. His favorite athlete is Mike Trout and he enjoys watching ESPN or MTV.
The standout left-hander helped Agoura win its second consecutive Marmonte League championship and reach the quarterfinals in uber-difficult Division 1 playoffs. The 6-foot-3, 225-pounder was 9-3 with a 1.18 ERA and 93 strikeouts in 93 innings. Opponents batted just .161 against him. He next takes his talents to the University of Washington. His favorite team is the Dodgers and his favorite player is Sandy Koufax. He likes watching "Full House" and listening to Kanye West.
The Marmonte League's most dominant pitcher was also among the most dominant pitchers in the CIF-Southern section. The 6-foot-2 right-hander finished with an 11-2 overall mark and a school-record 162 strikeouts in 95.2 innings. He finished with a 0.88 ERA and allowed just 38 hits and 35 walks while holding opposing hitters to a .116 batting average. He's an honor roll student and a Presidential Scholarship Recipient at the college of his choice, High Point University in North Carolina. His favorite movie is "Remember the Titans" and his favorite team is the Indianapolis Colts.
After a stellar season that included a .471 batting average, 20 RBIs and four home runs, the senior shortstop/pitcher earned honors as the Marmonte League's Most Valuable Player. For good measure, Cohen finished 3-2 on the mound with a team-high five saves. After helping his team win back-to-back league championships, he will next take his game to Loyola Marymount University. His hobbies include all sports, snowboarding and swimming. His favorite team is the Dodgers and his favorite athlete is Derek Jeter. He loves sushi and homecooking.
The junior shortstop was an ever-present force atop the Warriors' lineup, reaching base in all 24 games and hitting in all but four. The all-Marmonte League selection finished in the top 10 in the county in both hitting (.443) and stolen bases (11), but he was even better in the biggest games of the season. Dykstra hit .460 in Marmonte League competition, reaching base at an incredible .600 clip. He also cored 23 runs and drove in 16. Dykstra launched five doubles and two home runs for a .629 slugging percentage. He ended the season on an eight-game hitting streak.
The 6-foot-1, 165-pound junior earned first-team all-Marmonte League honors in his first full season as a starter. The left fielder hit .347 with seven doubles, 14 runs and nine stole bases. He hit safely in 20 of 27 games, and went 5 for 7 against Simi Valley. He enjoys swimming, making s'mores and washing his truck. He lists "The Social Network and "Star Trek" as his favorite movies. He enjoys listening to Ludacris and 50 Cent. Herold roots for the Dodgers and Mariners.
The 5-foot-10, 195-pound infielder provided the power for the Pioneers this spring, slugging an impressive .690. He launched two home runs on his birthday in a 7-4 win over Westlake on April 12. The senior hit .310 and drove in 27 runs with eight doubles and eight home runs, tying for the county lead. He also drew 17 walks. The scholar-athlete is a member of the National Honor Society. He lists "The Sandlot" as his favorite movie and enjoys watching "Family Guy." Hogan listens to Blink-182 and enjoys eating pizza. He roots for the New York Yankees and lists Derek Jeter as his favorite athlete.
The Lions didn't just have the area's top pitcher. They arguably had the top bat in Kruger, who led the area in RBIs (37), tied for the lead in home runs (8), finished second in RBIs (29) and third in runs scored (30). The 6-foot-1, 180-pound senior catcher hit .343 with a .417 on-base percentage and slugged .667. The Tri-Valley League Most Valuable Player and All-CIF Division 4 selection hit three grand slams, including one in the 14-4 CIF quarterfinal win over Northview. He drove in two runs in the 3-0 semifinal win over San Dimas. Kruger will attend Army.
Only a junior, the 6-foot, 205-pounder already rates among the top players in the Southland. In helping Rio Mesa place third in the Pacific View League and qualify for the Division 2 playoffs, he batted .360 with an on-base percentage of .500 and a slugging percentage of .547. He's already chosen Arizona State as his college destination. He lists his top hobbies as baseball, working out and "reaching my expectations." Tri-tip is his favorite food and the Dodgers are his favorite team.
