Portland Timbers
Most teams around the league struggle against MLS's three Cascadian clubs. It's not hard to see why: Seattle, Portland and Vancouver all have deep pockets, talented rosters, strong support, and play on difficult-to-deal with turf fields.
Of course, most teams around MLS aren't Real Salt Lake.
The Claret-and-Cobalt has been dominant against the three Cascadian clubs over the last two seasons, posting a 10-2-4 record in all competitions against the Sounders, Timbers and Whitecaps since the start of 2012. RSL is unbeaten against the three sides so far this year, posting 4-0-2 record through four home games and two road matches against them in all comps.
RSL has also been very solid when playing on the road at Seattle, Portland and Vancouver, currently riding a four-game unbeaten streak in Cascadia. The Claret-and-Cobalt has a combined 2-1-4 road mark at the Sounders, Timbers and Whitecaps since the start of 2012.
Jason Kreis and Co. will put their solid run against the Cascadian clubs on the line this Friday, when they take on Seattle Sounders FC in a battle of the West's top two teams at CenturyLink Field. Friday's match – which has huge implications for both the Supporters' Shield race and MLS Cup Playoff seeding – will kick off at 8:00 p.m. MT and will be broadcast nationally on the NBC Sports Network.
Should RSL earn a fifth-straight result in the Pacific Northwest on Friday, it'll have to do it in front of a huge crowd. Seattle – which usually restricts attendance at CenturyLink Field to a little under 40,000 – has opened up the entire stadium for Friday's affair, with full capacity reaching upwards of 67,000.
More than 52,000 tickets have been distrbuted for #SEAvRSL. Gates at 5:30pm, kick at 7pm. Plan ahead & arrive early: http://t.co/BcRkAtSEFY
— Seattle Sounders FC (@SoundersFC) September 11, 2013
One last note: RSL's 18 road points this year are tied for tops in the league with Kansas City, while Seattle enters Friday's match on a team record 12-game regular season unbeaten streak at home.
Something could very well give on Friday. Make sure you tune-in to see it all unfold.
Real Salt Lake again proved their offensive prowess on Friday, getting four goals to down the Portland Timbers 4-2 at Rio Tinto Stadium.
Here are a few interesting numbers from Friday's match:
Friday's 4-2 win and the team's 4-0 win over Columbus on Aug. 24 mark the first time in RSL history that the team has scored four or more goals in consecutive regular season matches. The Claret-and-Cobalt has now scored a total of 11 goals in its last three matches, with seven of those goals coming against a usually-stingy Portland side.
Real Salt Lake forward Alvaro Saborio scored his tenth goal during MLS play on Friday – only his thirteenth appearance of the season. Saborio's 0.83 goals per 90 minutes is tops in MLS among players with more than eight games played.
The Real Salt Lake fan base flexed its muscles once more on Friday, with the capacity crowd of 20,252 marking the fifth sellout at Rio Tinto Stadium this year.
By scoring on Friday, RSL midfielder Luis Gil became the sixth Claret-and-Cobalt player to reach the five goal plateau this year. Gil joins Saborio, midfielder Javier Morales, midfielder Ned Grabavoy, forward Robbie Findley and forward Olmes Garcia as the six RSL players who have found the back of the net five or more times during MLS play. RSL only had two players hit the five goal mark in 2012.
Friday's win marked the club's 14th victory of the season, most in the league. Real Salt Lake is now one win away from reaching the 15-win, 50-point plateau for a fourth-consecutive year, something that's never been done in league history. The Utah side is in good position to also set a new franchise record for wins in a season – the record is seventeen, held by the 2012 team.
With his bicycle kick goal past goalkeeper Donovan Ricketts on Friday, Morales tied his career-high with seven goals on the season. Morales' seven goals are good for second on the team – he leads RSL with ten assists in MLS play.
Real Salt Lake's four goals in Friday's match increased its league-leading goal total to 52 goals during the 2013 season. The L.A. Galaxy are a distant second, having scored 43 goals on the season.
Real Salt Lake forward Joao Plata notched two assists on Friday, giving him a total of eight assists in MLS play, good for fifth in the league. The 21-year-old Ecuadorian finds himself on the assist leaderboard despite only starting in 16 of the club's 28 games.
It seems like only yesterday that we faced Portland Timbers, and indeed, it sort of was. Or last week, but that's somewhat like yesterday.
Timbers have assumed relatively the same approach match-by-match, and that they do is a testament to Caleb Porter's belief in tactical consistency. By and large, that's a belief shared by Jason Kreis, who has been one of the most consistent coaches in MLS in recent memory. But Jason Kreis has this season showed a newfound tactical flexibility without sacrificing that belief, and he's changed the shape with relative frequency. The beauty, though, is that no matter how he's changed the shape, the approach and philosophy has remained the same.
With that in mind, Jason Kreis could deploy his side with a different shape to make more difficult the jobs of Porter and crew.
4-2-1-3: Rimando; Beltran, Borchers, Salcedo, Wingert; Beckerman, Grabavoy; Morales; Plata, Saborio, Findley
Good: In this shape, we'd see Plata and Findley tasked with keeping busy Portland's fullbacks, Harrington and Powell, on the left and the right, respectively. Those two generally are important players, as Porter is well aware of the same thing as Kreis: To succeed in an attacking system with no focus on long ball antics, getting one or even both full backs involved in the attack is essential. By pushing back on those two, a big part of the Portland attack is mitigated.
Bad: We lose something in midfield pressure, leaving Grabavoy and Beckerman to carry more of the pressing weight than they otherwise would. If Portland plays a packed midfield, there's a risk this could get overrun.
4-3-2-1: Rimando, Beltran, Borchers, Salcedo, Wingert; Beckerman, Grabavoy, Grossman; Gil, Morales; Saborio
Good: Here, we have introduced an additional midfielder to the mix. I've pointed to Cole Grossman as the option, because we have here three midfielders involved in defending. This would mitigate any risk of the midfield being overrun. Gil and Morales would both play in a wider arrangement, and perhaps Grabavoy would step further forward to fill in the gaps. Saborio is left as the sole striker, largely to play the midfield into the attack, which would be essential.
Bad: We lose a wide man in attack, which has been important for us. When we have a striker on the wing, we introduce a more dynamic attacking option that forces the defense to rethink their plans. Against an attacking Portland Timbers side, there should be space there — it would be good for us to take advantage of that.
4-4-2: Rimando, Beltran, Borchers, Salcedo, Wingert; Beckerman, Grabavoy, Gil, Morales; Plata, Findley
Good: Rather than taking the hold-up approach with Saborio, which brings us plenty of joy, we could give him a rest and allow him an opportunity off the bench, leaving Plata and Findley as the starting strikers. Those two would be tasked with both going wide, leaving the center for the midfield to run into — perhaps they'd start in a central position and move wide. It's difficult to say. This would give us plenty of attacking width and would surely be strong in transition.
Bad: Well, we'd lack a player to hold up the ball, which we've done before. If, as I picture it, we push Plata and Findley into wide positions, we'd be found sorely lacking in the middle, too, I'm afraid. In essence, it could end up looking like a poor parody of a strikerless system.

MLSsoccer.com's Matt Doyle and Dan Haiek took a look at tonight's RSL-Portland matchup on their always interesting feature, The Scouting Report. Give it a watch above.
Real Salt Lake will take on the Portland Timbers for the third time in 24 days on Friday, when it will host the Cascadia club in a nationally-televised match at 8:00 p.m. at Rio Tinto Stadium.
RSL is unbeaten against Portland this year, beating the Timbers 2-1 in a Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup Semifinal at Rio Tinto Stadium on Aug. 7 before scoring a 93rd minute goal to tie 3-3 at Portland on Aug. 21.
Highlights from both of those matches are above. Check them out.
Real Salt Lake pulled off an improbable come-from-behind draw on Wednesday night, getting a 93rd minute goal from substitute midfielder Cole Grossman to tie the Portland Timbers 3-3 at JELD-WEN Field despite playing the final minutes with just 10 men.
Here are a few interesting numbers from Wednesday's match:
Real Salt Lake defender Nat Borchers and Cole Grossman both scored their first goals of the season on Wednesday night, giving RSL 14 different players that have found the back of the net in league play this year. That total is tied for tops in the league with Chivas USA and Montreal Impact. RSL has had 16 different players score in all competitions this year, six more than the 10 Claret-and-Cobalt players that scored in MLS, U.S. Open Cup and CONACACAF Champions League action in 2012.
Wednesday's three goal performance gives RSL 25 MLS road goals this year, tops in MLS. Only one other team in the league has as many home goals as RSL has away goals, with Vancouver Whitecaps FC notching 25 goals at home thus far. In addition to leading the league in road goals, RSL is in first place in MLS in road goal differential (+2) and total goals (44).
Wednesday's result moves RSL to 5-6-3 on the road this year. The Claret-and-Cobalt's 18 road points is tied with Sporting Kansas City for most in the league.
Wednesday's result extended RSL's unbeaten run on turf to five games. RSL is 1-0-2 on turf this season, tying Vancouver 1-1 at BC Place on April 13 and beating New England 2-1 at Gillette Stadium on May 8 before tying Portland on Wednesday. RSL will play on turf three more times this year, taking on Seattle Sounders FC at CenturyLink Field on Sept. 13, traveling north of the border to take on Vancouver at BC Place on Sept. 28 and returning to Portland to take on the Timbers at JELD-WEN Field on Oct. 19.
Cole Grossman's last appearance with the first-team prior to his shift on Wednesday came 141 days earlier, when he started and played 77 minutes in RSL's 2-0 loss at FC Dallas on March 23. Grossman suffered a concussion in that match and – though he had made several appearances in the 18 since – had not appeared in a game since. His eight minute cameo on Wednesday was Grossman's second appearance with RSL after he was acquired by the team this offseason.
Real Salt Lake's travels to Portland force the league-topping side into a difficult position against a strong team, with the loss of Kyle Beckerman a particularly sore point.
No Captain (or is it "No, Captain!"?)
The returning Yordany Alvarez should step in for Kyle Beckerman, which, on the face of it, is a slightly terrifying prospect, but the reality of it is a bit less daunting. Alvarez is clearly no direct, one-for-one replacement, and I don't think anybody suspects he is. But he does present some valuable attributes, especially when we consider his passing game. He surely won't be getting forward in the same way, but he still manages to get himself into advanced positions quite readily.
Surprisingly, the thing we'll miss most from Beckerman is his creative play. Do we say that a year ago? Two years ago? I don't know, but he's had a distinct shift in his approach this season, and it's one that has benefited our play.
Formational approach
Our shifts in formation have startled opponents somewhat, as they now feel uncertain as to what we'll play on any given match day. This, despite very heavily playing in that 4-4-2 — so what's got them scared? Simply, it's the flexibility they thought we didn't have. In all honesty, our three core formations we've played this season — the 4-4-2 diamond, the 4-2-1-3, the 4-5-1 — all function in largely the same way: We maintain pressure with our forwards and attacking midfielders, we stretch play with midfield runs, and we maintain possession in the middle.
It's the understanding we've built in the squad over years of play that allows us to easily switch formations, and that, in its own right, is a bit unintuitive. By being dogged in our formational approach, we've enabled ourselves to be flexible in our … formational approach. Funny how these things turn out.
Maintaining midfield pressure
As we saw against Portland in the US Open Cup, it's important that, if we're to be successful again against this side, we have to maintain a similar approach. This means being systematic in our pressure from the midfield and the front, but we must do so without leaving substantial gaps between our defenders and our midfield. This is the difficulty of the approach, but key will be restricting the possession and passing of Portland Timbers in less dangerous areas. Less key is winning the ball back quickly, because as we've seen, they hardly thrive in deeper positions.
It all takes a degree of caution, but this is the sort of thing on which the result will pivot.

Real Salt Lake advanced to its first Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup Final on Wednesday night, beating the Portland Timbers 2-1 in the USOC Semis at Rio Tinto Stadium to advance to the tournament's title game on Oct. 1 at home against D.C. United.
Here are a few interesting numbers from Wednesday's match:
Wednesday's win moved RSL into its first ever Open Cup Final. The Oct. 1 final against D.C. United at Rio Tinto Stadium will be the first final ever contested or hosted in the state of Utah. Tickets are expected to go on sale to the game next week – get yours early and fill the RioT.
Wednesday's crowd of 14,742 was the largest ever to see a U.S. Open Cup Semifinal in the modern/pro era, breaking the previous mark of 12,129 set by the minor-league Rochester Rhinos in 1996. Wednesday's crowd was only the third semifinal in the modern/pro era to break the 10,000 mark.
Real Salt Lake forward Alvaro Saborio scored in the seventh minute of Wednesday's game, heading a Kyle Beckerman cross off the post and into the back of the net to give the Claret-and-Cobalt the early lead. The goal was Saborio's fifth in three games since returning to RSL from international duty ahead of the July 27 loss at New York. The Costa Rican international also had an assist in Wednesday's match, giving him 10 goals and two assists in 12 appearances across all competitions this season. Real Salt Lake is now a dominant 33-6-8 in all competitions when Saborio scores.
Real Salt Lake defender Carlos Salcedo returned from injury to play the full 90 on Wednesday night. The 19-year-old center back turned in another solid shift for the Claret-and-Cobalt, helping the Utah side improve to 8-0-2 in his 10 appearances – nine of which have been starts – across all competitions this year.
Real Salt Lake has now won four games in this year's Open Cup, doubling the two total wins it had in previous iterations of the tournament proper. RSL had other wins in Open Cup play in games, but only two in the tournament proper prior to this year.
It's been well documented that tonight's U.S. Open Cup Semifinal between RSL and Portland will be Timbers Captain Will Johnson's first game at Rio Tinto Stadium since he was traded from the Claret-and-Cobalt to Portland last December.
Johnson went on OnFrame on Tuesday night ahead of tonight's match, saying some really interesting things about his time in Salt Lake, life in Portland and comparisons between the two clubs.
Here are a couple of highlights from the conversation, the entirety of which can be heard by clicking here.
On how RSL's and Portland's fan bases compare:
"There's more similarities than differences. They're both very good faan bases and both have treated me exceptionally. I'm very proud to have played in front of both sets of fans…. The fan base in Salt Lake is still very special to me. They treated me exceptionally, they always had my back no matter what. Playing good, or playing bad, through all the ups and downs, they always had my back so they'll always have a special place in my heart and I think that probably goes both ways for the majority of the RSL faithful."
On making his return to Rio Tinto Stadium in such an important match:
"I wouldn't have it any other way. My return here was always going to be special, regardless of the circumstances, but now with it being a cup game, a knockout game with the winner hosting the final, obviously there's a little added incentive. I'm excited, can't wait to get back out there and see all those familiar faces, regardless of if they're razzing me a little bit more than previous times when I played at Rio Tinto. I'll always have I think a mutual admiration and relationship between myself and the fans, so I can't wait to get back out there. I think it'll be a great spectacle and an entertaining match for everybody to see."
Kickoff is at 7:30. Get your tickets here.
Real Salt Lake continues its road in the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup tonight, when it will take on the Portland Timbers at 7:30 p.m. at Rio Tinto Stadium in the tournament's semifinals.
Here are a few interesting storylines to watch ahead of Wednesday's match:
The return of Will Johnson
Portland Timbers midfielder Will Johnson will be making his return to the RioT for the first time since being traded from RSL back in December 2012. The Rose City captain has led the side to its best start in the club's short MLS history with 35 points in 22 games. The former Claret-and-Cobalt stalwart appeared in 120 regular season games with RSL, including all 14 of the Utah side's playoff matches. In 2009, Johnson hoisted the MLS Cup Championship with Salt Lake as a main contributor.
The first of many clashes
Wednesday's match will be the first of at least four meetings between the two clubs this year. Three of the four meetings will come in the next three weeks, with RSL hosting Portland tonight in the Open Cup, Portland hosting RSL on Aug. 21 and the Claret-and-Cobalt taking on the Timbers at the RioT on Aug. 30. The sides will wrap up their regular season series against each other in the Pacific Northwest on Oct. 19. That may not be the last RSL-Portland meeting of the year, however; with RSL in first in the West and Portland not far behind in second, a potential playoff matchup could be on the horizon.
Home Final on the line
The winner of Wednesday's match will not only advance to the U.S. Open Cup Final, they'll host it, too, taking on the winner of tonight's Chicago-D.C. semi in the title game this fall. It would be the first time either state has entertained an Open Cup Final – the all-important CONCACAF Champion's League birth that goes to the tournament winner would only serve to ratchet up the stakes.
Morales a maybe
Real Salt Lake Head Coach Jason Kreis was forced into a precautionary substitution in the 24th minute of the club's match against the Colorado Rapids last Saturday, bringing midfielder Javier Morales off with a right adductor injury. Whether or not Morales features on Wednesday night will play a big role in the outcome of the match.
Kreis v. Porter
Wednesday's matchup will pit two of the brightest young American coaches against each other in RSL's Jason Kreis and Portland's Caleb Porter. Known for their possession brands of soccer and fiery attitudes, both Kreis and Porter have been complimentary of each other in the press this week, both saying that they've been looking forward to the first RSL-Portland matchup all year.

An earlier version of this column misspelled the last name of Wendy Dobson, a University of Toronto business school professor. The column has been corrected.
BOSTON (MarketWatch) — Copper is booming. Oil is booming. Cotton is near historic highs. Soaring raw-material costs are driving up prices for consumers, from the gas pumps to the grocery aisles. And speculators are taking record bets that prices are going to keep going up even higher.
Kasper Kierkegaard, an analyst at Danske Bank, reports from the futures markets that the speculative net bullish positions on many commodities are at, or near, record highs.
When I walked past a TV earlier today someone on CNBC was asking if copper was "the new gold." That's funny — I thought silver was the new gold. Maybe silver is the new copper?
Flooding, markets, gas prices
Simon Constable and David Weidner discuss the flooding in Missouri that's threatening a town there, the Nasdaq nears a 10-year high, how soaring gas prices could hurt Obama's re-election prospects and the growing trend of uniforms for pre-schoolers.
But could the wheels be about to come off this bandwagon? Could commodities be heading for a massive price slump?
Maybe. And that's the view of someone who is nonetheless incredibly bullish, over the long term, about all of them.
Jeremy Grantham, the chairman of Boston fund firm GMO, needs no introduction. He is Wall Street's best-known Jeremiah, a skeptical contrarian who presciently warned about the bear market that began in 2000 and the crash of 2007-09.
In his latest letter to investors, Grantham warns that we may be heading toward a major crash in commodity prices — leading to the biggest buying opportunity of a lifetime. Read Grantham's warning on GMO's website.
Long-term, Grantham is a huge bull on commodities. He thinks we're running out of everything. His latest note reads like the treatment for a remake of "Soylent Green," the apocalyptic 1973 Charlton Heston flick about a starving, baking, overcrowded Earth.
Yet despite this, Grantham puts the chances of a serious price slump across commodities next year at an astonishing 80%. And he gives a smaller, but still significant, chance of a massive collapse.
Yes, it's hard to imagine, at these prices, that commodities might ever be cheap again. But isn't that always how it feels in a boom?
Grantham's logic is simple. It comes in two parts.
First, agricultural commodities are set up for a fall.
We have just lived through the worst year for farmers in memory. Any farmland that wasn't scorched by drought, as in Russia, was probably destroyed by floods, as in Australia. No wonder prices for so many goods have skyrocketed.
But the chances that this year will be as bad have to be remote.
Agricultural commodities are quicker to respond to prices than almost any other. Farmers just plant more crops. If this year's weather turns out to be better than last year, says Grantham, "we will drown, not in rain, but in grain, for everyone is planting every single acre they can till… Should both the sun shine and the rain rain at the same time and place, then we will have an absolutely record crop."

The main purpose of the choir is to lead, inspire and give confidence to the congregation in its musical worship.
Choir practice night is Friday from 6.30 p.m. to 7.30 p.m. (during term time only). Practices begin with concentration on breathing techniques and exercises aimed at improving note and sound accuracy. Then comes the 'bread and butter' work on hymns. Anthems and carols are also practised for special occasions. On a less regular basis, the choir meets to learn less serious music such as jazz cantatas – music for fun!
Some of the younger choristers are musically active in other directions – notably in the school choir and in playing recorders, flute, clarinet and brass. Anyone of any age is most welcome to join this group of musicians to prepare and play music for services and concerts.
Responsibility for the musical worship is shared between Margaret Whatley (organist) and Geoff Miles (choir leader). Margaret is also a qualified piano teacher and clarinettist. Geoff sings with a number of choirs.

SARANAC LAKE – The Salmon River boys varsity lacrosse team – currently ranked No. 2 in the latest New York State Sportswriters Association Class C poll – maintained their unbeaten record on Friday with a 21-4 victory over the Saranac Lake Red Storm. The win improves the SRC record to 12-0 in NAC play and 13-0 overall.
Trenton Tarbell scored four times, while Frank David and Dalton Roundpoint added three goals each to the victory.
The Shamrocks made short work of the Red Storm by taking a six-goal lead after one quarter of action. Salmon River increased its advantage to 11-0 at the half before going on to clinch at least a share of the regular season title.
SRC added four more markers in the third quarter, while Saranac Lake spoiled the Shamrocks shut out bid with three goals in the third stanza. The unbeaten NAC leaders salted the victory away in the fourth with six more goals as the Red Storm (3-9) added their fourth and final goal late in the period.
Skkylar Thomas scored two goals and set up five teammates, while Bryton Burns (1 assist), Karonhiate Lazore and Cash Mitchell netted two markers each. Iothore Lazore, Chad George and Myles Delormier accounted for the final scoring for Salmon River with one goal apiece.
SRC coach Jim Barnes once again deployed a tandem of keepers, with Tazz Oakes and Darius Lafrance combining for four saves, two each, to backstop the win.
For Saranac Lake, Oliver Holmes had three of the four goals, while Jeff Stevens recorded the other. Jacob Merrill made 12 saves in the losing effort.
Salmon River will play twice this weekend, hosting Canton at 1 p.m. today in an NAC tilt that will be contested at Generations Park in Hogansburg. The park is behind the police station.
SRC will return to the confines of the high school field for a 1 p.m. start on Sunday against Colton-Pierrepont.
The Shamrocks are projected to be the top-seeded team for the upcoming Section 10 Class C playoffs. The postseason slate is scheduled to begin at 5 p.m. on Wednesday, at the home of the higher seeds. Currently, SRC would host the C-P Colts in the playoff opener at 5 p.m. on Wednesday.
In the other two NAC boys lacrosse matchups on Friday, Massena Central reversed Canton Central 16-7 and OFA oultasted St. Lawrence Central 9-8 in double overtime.
Massena 16, Canton 7: At the SUNY Canton turf field, the Raiders built a 5-3 lead by the end of the first quarter before reeling off 12 straight goals over the next two before taking a commanding 13-4 lead into the final frame where the teams traded three-goals bursts.
Kendrick Angus led the way offensively with six goals and an assist. Evan Kassian and Ryan Thomas both tallied three goals and a helper. Sako Rouke struck for a pair of goals. Nick Henrie (2 assists) and Rhoades Tarbell (1 assist) netted the other Raider goals while Brendan Broderick fashioned three assists.
Peyton VanBibber scored three times for the Bears, who have now suffered two straight losses to NAC rivals after winning their first nine. Cody Moore added two goals an assist. Josh Huiatt (1 assist), Tanner Sanderson and Garrett Glasgow broke through for the other Canton goals.
Tyler Armstong stood tall turning aside 15 of the shots he faced backstopping the win while Nate Gibson (4 saves) and Andrew McCormick (2 saves) sharing crease duties in the loss.
This was a nice way for us to end things up before playoffs, noted coach Kris Covell after his squad avenged a one-goal loss to the Bears with their convincing win on Friday. Im just proud of the way the kids played today.
The Raiders will likely be the top seed for the Class B playoffs which get underway on Wednesday with a pair of semi-final games. The Class B championship game is slated for Wednesday, May 28, at 5 p.m. at the SUNY Canton turf.
OFA 9, SLC 8 (2ot): In Brasher Falls, the Larries steadily overcame a 4-1 first quarter deficit and pulled even at 6-6 after outscoring the Blue Devils 3-1 in the third quarter. The teams went on to trade a pair of goals in the first quarter to force overtime where Austin Morley-Sloan connected for his fourth of the game off an assist from David Prudhomme 2:13 into the second four-minute extra frame to lift OFA to a regular season sweep over the Larries.
Andrew Roddy fashioned three goals and two assists in the winning effort while Taylor Richardson and Andrew Putman struck for the other goals.
Lukas Arquiett (3 assists), Brody Simonds (2 assists), Marshall Burninghausen (1 assist) and Styles Arquiett all connected for a pair of goals in the losing cause while Jacob Sutton notched a pair of assists.
Quinton Denner made six saves working the crease for the win while Kody Kocsis handled nine shots for the Larries.
The Larries expect to compete in the Class C playoffs starting on Wednesday. The Class C final is slated for Wednesday, May 28, at the SUNY Canton field starting at 7 p.m.

A former member of beloved Nashville band KingBilly, Charlie Worsham headed his own way in 2010 to pursue a career as a solo artist. Landing a deal with Warner Music Nashville, the multi-instrumentalist from Mississippi's debut album, Rubberband, plays with similarly bright acoustics and newgrass melodies found throughout KingBilly's lone 2009 EP. However, on Rubberband, which is available now, Charlie sharpens his own sound to carve out a unique niche of groove-oriented country that blends traditional and progressive.
Since leaving KingBilly, Charlie has worked or toured with a large range of artists as different as Taylor Swift and Eric Church. Charlie co-wrote each of Rubberband's 11 songs and it's easy to hear why his laid-back style fits in just about anywhere. With a slight country rasp to shape his delivery, Charlie's voice hangs on to a bit of Appalachia's classic mix of folk and Gospel while also conveying the same rich, introspective emotions that are pervasive throughout indie singer/songwriter circles. The lead single "Could It Be" is full of high country notes and percussive guitar beats, while Charlie wonders if this new love might be the one. Throughout much of the album, like in the sparkling chorus of the fool-in-love "Want Me Too" and the circular acoustic guitar/banjo interplay of the despondent "You Can't Break What's Broken," subtle nods to bluegrass are wrapped in gorgeous melodies and soothing harmonies.
Charlie doesn't force it on Rubberband, instead opting to let the song's mood dictate the direction. "How I Learned To Pray" uses pretty melodies and mandolin with a quiet, natural vocal. As in the song's words, it's all about real life experience and Charlie's connection to the music is not only evident, but it runs exceptionally deep. The expansive, Americana-tinged "Mississippi In July" carries a hint of nostalgia while Charlie's evocative voice descends through the melodies. Those familiar with the work of modern acoustic folk-based songwriters like Ben Howard will notice a resemblance in the song's swirling mood. "Love Don't Die Easy," with harmonies from Sheryl Crow, also demonstrates Charlie's innate feel for just the right pacing and delivery on any song.
Rubberband captures the imagination with unique arrangements that oftentimes build continuously. The title-track's knocking percussion and instrumental handoffs, sometimes coming mid-lick, are reminiscent of the atmospheric sounds found on Eric Church's Chief. It's easy to get lost in the reverb wash and wild breaks, and on "Someone Like Me," which features the powerful voice of singer Madi Diaz in the chorus, transcendent moments are the result of the two singers' electric chemistry. The vocal melodies of "Young To See," one of the album's best songs, ably wander and drift to acoustic guitars and dobro while Charlie navigates a roots rock vibe with a traveler's spirit.
Tales of the road come fast on the rippin' country blues tune "Tools of the Trade," which features Marty Stuart and Vince Gill on vocals, mandolin and guitar. Words that rhyme and an old train beat/a heart that runs on melodies/I get a brand new song every time it breaks, Charlie sings before the song explodes joyously. There's a level of energy on Rubberband as inspired as it is genuine, and on his first solo album, Charlie delivers one of the year's most exciting debuts.

Has anybody used Juliania Travel for their bookings please? Their website is jilaniatravel.co.uk . They seem to offer a good service, but I just wanted to check before booking with them.
Never heard of them before and are most definitely not umra agents but probably be buying visas and packages from others.
You better try those who have license such as London Prestige , Dome tours, Nabil, Amanah, One Call, Travel Express etc.
Assalam O Alaikum,
"The Prophet (PBUH) Said, The best among you (Muslims) are those who learn The Quran and teach it."
Qari-Ul-Quran is the best online Quran Teachings online Quran Teachings Platform for people living
at distances facing problems to get a reliable source for their Islamic Education. We provide services for Basic Quran learning with Tajweed,
Memorization of Quran, Hadith Course and Memorization of Salah and Islamic Duas according to Quran and Sunnah of Hazrat Muhammad (PBUH). We
have experienced, committed, motivated and professional online tutors available for students of all ages.
I have used Jilania Travel this year and their service was outstanding both in UK and Saudi Arbia, i went for Umrah in march with my family of 6and we had no problems i had searched the web before i used this company they had the best prices and service. I will definetaly reccomend this company and will use this company for hajj next year Inshallaha. I hope my experience helps.
An Internet forum, or message board, is an online discussion site where people can hold conversations in the form of posted messages
I hope this helps you.
Dont know about Jilania, but I have a very bad experience from a travel agent based in London, and I suspect most of the travel agents operates in the same way. I dont trust anyone anymore.
I have booked for visa, hotel accommodation and transfer for me, my wife and 2 children for Umrah trip to Makkah and visit to Madina, from Travel Agent Al-Noor Travel Agency based in 4 Boundry Close, Nor Wood Green, UB2 4JW.
On Jan 05 2011, I paid Al-Noor Travel Agents £800 as advance of a total of £1288 towards Umrah Visa for 4 people, Travel from Jeddah to Madina, 5 star hotel in Madina for dates 08-10 April 2011, Travel from Madina to Makkah, 4 Star Hotel room for 4 for dates 11-14 April 2011, and transfer back to Jeddah on 14 April 2011. Payment was made by direct bank transfer as they claimed they could not process credit card.
On 23 Feb 2011 I was told that hotels are reserved on both cities. I have paid the remaining amount once I got visas stamped by direct bank transfer.
In spite of repeated request they did not provide me details of hotels until the day of travel, which lead all of us distressed and anxious. I was told until the last minute that hotel vouchers were posted by speed post, to my address, which was not true.
On my arrival to Jeddah, I got a message from Al-Noor, to contact a person named Imran Madini, based in Madina. He arranged hotel in Madina and taxi to Makkah and paid travel charge from Jeddah to Madina. On leaving Madina, when I asked about accommodation, Mr Madini told me that his responsibility is finished there and, he advised me to call Al-Noor in UK. When I called, Al-Noor they asked me to go to a hotel called Darul Nadwa in Makkah, but did not provide me booking reference.
On arrival to Makkah by midnight, there was no hotel room booked in my name or in the name of Al-Noor. I was dumped on the street , with luggages, 2 young children and my wife. After a few enquiry & help from the street, I paid for a room to store my luggages, and performed Umrah. Next morning, when I called Al-Noor Office again for hotel room and booking number, they answered the phone, but could not give me hotel details. Obviously they did not book the hotel, in spite of taking money 3 months in advance. I had to leave Makkah next day as I could not find a suitable accommodation on short notice.
This travel agent callously betrayed our trust in them, and left us without help in a foreign country. They took the money for hotel accommodation and transfers but knowingly ignored our plight. I suspect that I may not be the only victim of these dishonest people, and a large number of similar experiences must be going unreported.
They have spoiled our long awaited opportunity to spend time in the Holy city, for which any amount of money or compensation will be a match
I sincerely wish this Travel firm is properly investigated for this, and suitable action be taken to protect innocent pilgrims from being tricked in a similar trap, in the future
Also proves my point that some "licensed" agents have poor reputation and offer shoddy services whereas some agents who have no license provide silver service.
I suggest you take up this matter with Trading Standards office in your area.

Nice improvements. I'm trying these new features with IE9 browser without Chrome Frame and let me say that the experience is really awesome.
Very happy about the right-click menu for multiple items, was definately needed!
I like the energy choices. But the Areas???? Seems like an superfluous demarcation. Don't the context labels pretty much define areas like family, business, etc? Don't complicate it. I realize that it not required to have an area. But for those who are already OCD about this thing, let's take them into account and not have "one more thing" to categorize. You will have to admit that an area designation is extra-GTD, not really part of the original concept, and in my opinion, a dilution of the already sleek concepts that are necessary to have "mind like water". Give me your feedback. I would like to hear your response.
I love what you guys are doing. But……..
In order for me to dump the NetCentrics Outlook Add-in, Nirvanna would have to add a time specific date (appointment calendar) AND a way to take my Gmail into your system (IMAP)and apply the GTD concepts to each email. Is that on the back burner any time (2012, 2103)?
What about email ticklers???
Hi Tonyflip, Would you explain email ticklers? Is your comment for Nirvana or for me. I don't know until I know exactly what email ticklers are or how they might be used in Nirvana.
I think I saw what Tonflip was referring to regarding email ticklers. I do not want a tickler; instead I like the netcentric concept of processing emails into actions such as delegate, defer, action (specific to calendar) or action (non-calendared). Also, a Someday button or reference are other choices. The subsequent popup screen allows you to indicate the context, project and subproject. This add-in does NOT have the energy level or sub-reference to parallel or sequential projects. Sure wish I had the best of both of these products.
@Rodger – I feel like you're asking way too much of the team.
As for 'email ticklers' – they are just daily emails that tell you what is due that day.
Would be so kind being explaining when do you plan to run Nirvana's API?
Just wondering how the iPad app is coming along. Love nirvanahq on my mac, but am missing its usefulness on my ipad! Keep up the good work :)
@AJ – Tell me more…Check out eProductivity and see what they have done. No small players should claim they have the GTD concept unless they can incorporate the largest source of their inbasket. But I am willing to hear other viewpoints.
I would really love an android app. Waiting takes so long :(

(This post was written by Application Developer Aaron Olson)
Today I came across an odd issue. We are building a web application for a client of ours. We have a number of controls on the page that are utilizing the ajaxcontroltoolkit's MaskedEditExtender.
The Issue: When we would load the form with existing data, we would notice that certain controls' textchanged events were firing. This was causing us some heart ache as when this event gets fired, we have flags in the bound object that get set, erroneously telling the application changes had occurred. Later down the line this caused some updating where updating was not necessary as nothing had really changed within the object.
Our Findings: I did a bit of research on this issue and couldn't find a whole lot on it. When I thought about it a little further and examined the data we were filling the control with, I remember that the way the data is being stored within SQL is different than the way we are portraying it on the screen. So, for example, a social security number within SQL was being stored like so, 123456789. When we fill the textbox with the data in this format, once the form is done loading, the MaskedEditExtenders client side java says, hold on cowboy, this data has not been formatted and formats the text kicking off the event.
Resolution: I created a process extension to properly format a string, which I then fed into the textbox on load. This way the data I am filling into the textbox is already formatted properly, preventing the textchanged event from firing.

Detailing Questions - Where & What to buy
This forum has great information on it for detailing and everyone seems to love Adams products, but I've looked in a few place here and no one seems to sell locally. I have seen McGuire's (sp) stuff everywhere though. This will be a new process for me but I want my car to look like it should and now that the weather is nicer, time to get er done!!
So, what are Canadians using for detailing their cars?? And where are you finding it??
I order from here, and the shipping is very fast!
Here is contact info for dealer in Calgary
Classic Performance Contact: Carmine
#27 – 1410 40th Ave. NE
Calgary, AB T2E 6L1 403.216.6060
If you have the money go with Adams. I love their stuff
Ziano has some good polishes.... They have a Canadian dealer.
I've had good luck with www.eshine.ca
They are back east and I get my stuff rather quickly. If you find it cheaper in canada they will match and free shipping available.
Another place was autoobsessed.com (i think) and they are in Edmonton.
I'm too impatient to detail my own car. I usually take it to the wand car wash, then shammy it dry. When it's warm enough I use black magic titanium wheel cleaner, and turtle wax wet n' black for the rubber.
I never bother with waxing. Should I?
:thanks: Thanks for the suggestions! Will check out the sites.
I drove my car all winter and can see the effects. I want to try the clay bar but would really like to watch someone do theirs before attempting. I also just had body work and new paint done and would like to protect it as much as possible. Mines my dd so lots of exposure to the elements.
I've been using Zaino from day 1 on the Camaro and love the results, but everyone has their own taste and price point. http://www.zainostore.ca/
Adam is good stuff as well and a lot like Mothers.
Do a search for Adam's Polish on YouTube, Adam's have a great selection of how to video's posted.
I use Meguiar's ultimate compound ( for swirl marks),
followed by
Meguiar's NXT Generation Tech Wax
followed by
Adams carnuba wax.
On my black 2lt rs
i love the results :)
I'm willing to give tips. Product? On your car, the Zaino polishes would work amazing on it! They will tend to give it lots of depth and a wet look. Don't get me wrong...Adam's has great products, but I know how well Zaino works on the darker cars. Zaino is expensive, but keep in mind around 1 ounce should do the whole car.
I will warn you, like I warned Rob. There is a LOT of work to detailing a vehicle if you want the paint perfect! LOL LOL There are more abrasive polishes you can buy to speed up the process and different polishers as well. Go to adamspolishes.ca and watch the videos. They are VERY good videos. Then you can look up The Junkman on Youtube as well. He's a supporter of Adam's polishes.
Let me know if you guys would like a hand.
New product for claying. Faster, cleaner, quicker...I know the dealership is using something like this. I bought one and will use today. I thought claying was going to be nasty but its a cakewalk and the results are incredible.
The Speedy Towel just makes it easier.
check out this vid I found. This is what sold me. http://www.camaro5.com/forums/showth...y+Surface+Prep
I look at my 3 year old black truck that I put a paint protection on and never touched since. Its a mess. The Camaro, I super cleaned the paint, removed all marks and then applied Opti-Coat 2.0. Now thats amazing stuff.
I'm hoping that I can bring my black truck back to something reasonable.
I'll be washing my car today, almost 2 weeks since its been painted so it should be ok now, will do the Baggie test after. The biggest issue for me is the swirls-hate them!
I was at the dealer yesterday getting my tpms reset and an oil change, so walked around looking at the ZL1's they have. The ones outside had massive swirls on them :confused0068: was surprised to see them looking that way and with the high sticker price!
Anyway, I have watched the videos, I'm just more of a gotta see it in person. Will be ordering something this week, and plan on getting it done before may long weekend....might not happen by then, but it's a plan :lol:
First rule of thumb, Sheena, do not let the dealer wash your car! LOL
THAT is why all the swirls are on their cars. :(
I had my car detailed at refine automotive last year and I was pretty happy with the results.
I'd love to do it myself, but I'm nervous I'd make it worse!
I ordered the Zaino package this morning, including towels! I'm committed now :thumbsup:
I've used adams. Honestly prefer eshine.ca
Prices are great, free shipping over $150 and you get reward dollars. Spent over $450 in the past 2 months and will continue to buy from there
One thing I will say is most Adams products are good. Eshine carries a bunch of brands so you need to find out what's "good"

There's a brand new rehearsal track posted on http://www.myspace.com/vedbuensende. Here's some more news I found:
On April 26, 2006, Blabbermouth.net announced that Ved Buens Ende has reformed, and are working on new material.
Along with Vicotnik and Carl-Michael Eide, who now plays guitar instead of drums, there are two new members; Petter "Plenum" Berntsen on bass and Einar "Esso" Sjursø on drums. They are also members of Carl-Michael Eide's band "Virus". Many fans of the band were surprised by the absence of Hugh Mingay (aka Skoll), whose place was taken by Petter Berntsen.
The band's drummer, Einar Sjursø, had this to say about the band on blabbermouth.net.: "We will record a new album this year, to be released in 2007 by an as-yet-undetermined label (interested parties get in touch) and we also aim at playing live, where we will perform material both from 'Written In Waters' and the [post-VED BUENS ENDE project] VIRUS 'Carheart' album plus of course new compositions. The new material is being developed at the moment and will differ from both 'Written In Waters' and 'Carheart' yet still retain the trademark off the wall guitar sounds of those releases."

my pants are tight.....
news from Carl Michael....
We`re riding on a current. Back on track.
First of all, I`d like to thank you all for your support, and for your kind remarks on the rehersal-recordings of our new music.
As you may or may not know, I`ve been in different hospitals and rehabilitation-clinics for 18 months, until two months ago when I moved back home.
The injuries on my body was so severe. The kind of pain recovering from a fall from 5th floor makes you do your best to escape reality. It generates some clean thinking. I realised Ved Buens Ende is one of the most important aspects of my life.
I am now fully recovered from my accident. Through my convalescence, I decided that we had to reform our band. I suggested it to the other creative half of VBE, and we started writing songs right away.
Vicotnik and myself have realised that VBE is in the core of our creativity.
Together we exhumed our band.
We are back, in all the sense of the word. We reherse, we make music and we try to demonstrate that we`re present again.
Obviously I can`t play drums now. I`m paralysed in my ankles and feet (luckily not from the weist). So I focus solely on guitar these days. Its nice to finally have only one instrument to entertain. Rather than practising two instruments (drums/guitar), playing them equally shabby, I play one instrument better.
Einar Sjursø is with us now. Better known as Necrodevil. We call him EINARR!!!. He was the obvious choice for a drummer. He plays fluent and eccentric. Just the way we want it.
Initially, the lineup from my old band Virus; Einar, me and Plenum (bass), was gonna mutate into VBE (adding Vicotnik ofcourse). But circumstances forced Plenum to leave the band. He`s one of Norways best bassplayers (across all genres). We miss him... we wish him all the best for the future.
The lineup is now me;Czral-Michael (guitar/song), Vicotnic(guitar, voice), Einarr (drums). We`re probably using Bjørn Boge (infamous Norwegian rock-bassplayer) as a session-member on the album and live-performances in the future, but we dont know yet.
Our former bass-player, Hugh S. "Scoll" J. Mingay, is the boss of a motoguzzi motorcycle repair-shop these days. He simply hasnt got the time for Ved Buens Ende. Not nice, but unevetable. He loves his bikes more than anything. I think he has three or four of them.
If he wants to return, he`s welcome.
Thats it for now, I wont bore you with any more crap. I`ll update this blog when something happens.
Sennep er så godt at jeg nesten må dø!

Finally, an update on what I've been doing since the last time. This time I have a lot of small changes that have been done:
- Implement initialization of RAID5-Arrays. This basically writes zeros over everything and makes sure parity is correct.
- Fix a bug with mirror code. The length of the completed requests got doubled if you have a mirror with two plexes, tripled if you have a mirror with three plexes etc.
- When a mirrored plexes are syncing, all requests after and including the first _write-request_ are delayed until syncing is finished.
- Allow rebuilding a RAID-5 array while it is in use (e.g. mounted). Delay requests that are in conflict with the rebuild, but allow requests on the already rebuilt part to be run.
- Allow subdisks to come up automagically after rebuild.
- Allow stripesizes not divideable by the subdisk size. A regression in the new gvinum code prevented this.
- Modify the event system to contain two intmax_t fields, so we won't have to allocate/deallocate pointers all the time when passing args to gv_post_event.
- Add support for the rename and move commands to new gvinum. The code has been rewritten for the new gvinum.
- Fix a bug in the code for degraded writes to a RAID5-array, where only zeros were written.
- Other minor bug/style fixes.
Next, I'm going to implement concat/stripe/mirror functionality. I already have some code from previous work I did, so I just need to adapt it to new gvinum, as well as change some ugly parts. There are some small facade-changes left, but I will do this after the last of the original vinum features is completed. Also, I will try write a nice status report, and get a testable patch out by the time the reports are finished.

Santarus, Inc., a specialty biopharmaceutical company, has announced the US commercial launch of UCERIS extended release tablets for the induction of remission in patients with active, mild to moderate ulcerative colitis.
UCERIS was approved by the FDA on January 14, 2013. UCERIS contains budesonide, a locally acting glucocorticosteroid, in a novel oral tablet formulation that utilizes proprietary MMX multi-matrix system colonic delivery technology. The approved dosing regimen for adult patients is one 9 mg tablet taken orally once daily in the morning for up to 8 weeks. UCERIS was developed in collaboration with Cosmo Technologies Limited, a subsidiary of Cosmo Pharmaceuticals S.p.A."We believe that UCERIS fills an important therapeutic gap as a new prescription option available to physicians treating patients in the active phase of mild to moderate ulcerative colitis," said Wendell Wierenga, Ph.D., executive vice president of R&D. "In our pivotal clinical studies, three times more patients achieved clinical remission and mucosal healing with UCERIS compared with patients taking placebo, and no clinically significant differences in glucocorticosteroid side effects were seen versus placebo after eight weeks of treatment."William Denby, senior vice president of commercial operations said, "For the commercial launch of UCERIS we have added 85 new sales representatives, increasing our total number of sales reps to 235. We will use the entire sales organization to promote UCERIS and ZEGERID (omeprazole/sodium bicarbonate) to gastroenterologists, while also continuing to promote our three diabetes/metabolic products to endocrinologists and other physicians."Mr Denby added, "In addition to our physician outreach, we recognize that informing patients with ulcerative colitis about UCERIS is key to motivating them to seek treatment for the active phase of their disease. To that end, we are implementing patient education programs through social media and medical information websites to provide patients with helpful information about treatment options."

"It's me, ..." is OK and common although "It is I." is more correct (predicate nominative).
"How's things?" may sound OK in the vernacular but it should be "How're things?" (How ARE things?)
Do you think that we in HR are going to pass along the paperwork of a highly qualified chemist who abuses simple grammar rules? We have to justify our jobs somehow and weeding out bad grammar is how we do it.
CRO needs to go back to school and get a PhD in English for further consideration.
Seriously, I don't know what he's been reading -- or inhaling -- but his "Back then [the 90s], doctoral degrees only took 4 years, and then you could jump out into a six-figure job ..." section is false and delusional.

#1 - Your assertions regarding my grammar remain correct. I accept my chastisement. My bad, dude.
(P.S. I met a bunch of the folks I described during my first internship. Six figures, signing bonus, no postdoc. Really)
#2 - Interesting point: I've limited my job search thus far to biotech companies, pharma companies, fine chemicals, teaching positions, business development, government labs, consulting agencies, advertising, academic research professorships, analysts, venture capital firms, crowdfunding, legal firms, and editorial positions.
Perhaps I should branch out more?
5. Pfinally on August 6, 2013 1:26 PM writes...
@1 - I think HR needs a little more sense of humor! He may be a little off on his 90's mythology, but not really that far. When I started in big pharma in 2001 (in biology) chemists ruled! Bigger salaries, more of them in senior roles (at least in discovery), and loads of respect. Within 8 years it was almost reversed. And NOW - forget it, the MBA's and finance drive it all. Of course this is my N of 1 example and experience. Interested in other views.
PS - If I were starting over, I'd either go to med school or get a degree in economics/finance and play that game.

@Arr Oh: Have you considered creating your own job by starting your own company? Otherwise, why should you expect a job over those just as needy but with more experience? Either get to the back of the queue, use your own connections to get to the front, or create your own job. Those are your 3 options.
7. Anonymous on August 6, 2013 1:47 PM writes...
Actually, I know exactly how he feels. I'm in the same position except I have a BS with 28 years of pharma experience. Company is circling the drain and I actually don't even get paid very well at all for that many years experience. Even worse, my resume makes it hard to hide that I didn't get to the PhD level. So they won't interview me for a non-PhD position and they won't interview me for a PhD position. And I'm 50 too, another strike. And I don't live in San Diego, Boston or San Francisco either. May as well throw myself on a sword and get it over with.
Here, let me practice, 'Would you like some fries with that?'

I can't imagine why people aren't lining up for science degrees - spending ten (or more) years in school (with debt for at least four of those) to get a job in the riskiest and possibly least financially rewarding* way is soooo attractive!
*I am assuming that most of the payouts go to the VCs - some will end up with upper management, thought, and onto the endless teat, at least if you make enough friends. Maybe that should be the STEM-encouragement line - "Spend lots of time in school, make lots of friends, and you too could milk your unfortunate investors out of their retirements in style."

I'm guessing the oil industry would be a pretty good place for an organic chemist to look to branch out into. Might take some additional coursework in chem engineering or oil engineering but I'm guessing they are hiring with all the frac work going on, just a guess.

According to Francis Collins there is no problem with over supply of PhDs. He's actually instating more funding for programs to increase diversity....I guess all those H1Bs and international postdocs don't count towards his specific kind of diversity...

@7: Been there. I worked at a PhD level position at my last job for 8 years before I was laid off. I don't have a PhD and actually think they're kind of overrated.
Every recruiter I talked to liked my skill set but told me I didn't have a prayer without a PhD. So, I did some consulting work and bided my time. I just got hired again in a full time position. I'm doing the same work as before but not for a major corporation and for a lot less pay. The good news is I don't live in NJ anymore so I'm saving a lot of money.
So, it's not hopeless. In the end, I think we're all in the same boat no matter what degree we have.

@5, @8: Anonymous #1 noting that I recognized CRO's sense of frustrated humor and that I am not HR. The standard route is for resumes to pass thru HR for filtering so God help you if you use terminology or abbreviations that HR wasn't told to look for ... or use the wrong color paper. (OK, colored paper was before e-submissions, but you know what I mean.)
Sorry CRO: there is a PhD glut, at least in chem, and everyone IN the boat knows it. I wish I had a better answer for you and the rest of us but I don't think this sinking ship has enough life preservers. Use your connections as best as you can.
19. Ted on August 7, 2013 12:59 AM writes...
Hi CRO:
No offense, but I've worked at six locations in my ~20 years. Big pharma, small biotech, contract work - everyone got a shake. Five resulted in layoffs. I've also been through three mergers that didn't result in layoffs - that's why I refer to "locations" rather than "jobs." My employers have been US-based, UK-based and German-based.
This is a tough business, and it's getting tougher every day. My last employer closed our US site because pharma isn't profitable "enough."
I'm sorry you're having trouble, but you are in about as good a position as it gets. The older you are, the more experienced you are, the more reasons employers have to NOT hire you. It's screwed up, but there you have it. Try getting a job as a PhD forest ecologist...
All but one of my jobs came through networking. Real networking. Like, "the job description appeared after I interviewed" networking. Despite the taunts above, you might consider medical writing (very tough to break into, but AMWA can help), technical writing, patent agency (ugh...) or consulting work. Rather than cooking fries, have you considered analyzing oil uptake at various temperatures by potatoes of differing starch content?
One very gracious poster on this very board contacted me about an opportunity at one point, probably because I managed to write something that inadvertently made me sound knowledgeable. Nonetheless, you have to get serious about beating the bushes for opportunity. Writing is the best way to increase your visibility.
I spent one of my unemployed stretches consulting with a biodiesel manufacturer. Nothing came of it, but it did give me some interesting insight to continuous processing techniques.
There are no full time jobs left. They're all temporary now.
Good luck,

Keep firing out your CV; make sure you highlight in your resume skills that make you unique to other applicants. Eventually someone will bite but it may take some time. I finished my masters degree last summer and after 6 months unemployment I've found a job at a CRO doing some cool chemistry. The salary ain't bad (I wouldn't turn down more though!) and its exactly what I've wanted to do since before I left school at age 18

I understand CRO's point. I was advised after undergrad NOT to pursue a PhD for just that reason - too many in too small a field.
I am (thankfully) employed... in Pharma. And I have had at least one coworker who didn't list her PhD on her resume when she applied just to be able to land a job!

Just because some ppl in my company have been working here for past 7-8 yr are team leaders (they joined on masters and just finished phd thesis btw); while even after doing a post-doc I (couple of others) even after completing 5 yr here are on bench. Shame on pharma companies, really!

@#23...I am curious about that because I have always felt it was lying not to list the Ph.D. Way back when after my first layoff I thought about it when applying for a job as a ticket reseller, but I listed it. What do others think?

@25 Yes, it is deceitful to leave it out. Ethics aside, you could get in trouble if your employer finds out, and claiming to have done nothing during the time period you worked on your PhD won't look so hot on the resume, anyways. Best to be honest and make the case that you are not overqualified and will not be itching to jump ship.

Very Bateman-esque question to ask. "Why aren't you connected, experienced, and wealthy enough to start your own business?"
You acknowledge that someone got their early career caught in the down market cycle, that they lost out on money, experience, and connections (AKA - necessities for entrepreneurship). Also probably got caught in the long-term-unemployment downward spiral of hiring. You also imply (properly) that no one cares about stunted career growth and these are the 3 available options.
But, despite that, your first suggestion is entrepreneurship. Starting a small pharma company or maybe consulting. With few connections, little industry experience, and little money. To a person you acknowledge lacks the experience to get hired for a pharma job.
It seems more insulting than inspiring.

@27: Sorry, my comment was really meant to be inspiring, rather than insulting.
Perhaps this definition might help:
"Entrepreneurship is the pursuit of creative new opportunities *despite* limited resources".
That includes limited finances, experience, and also contacts. In any case, one can only use what they have, or have not, so why not think of more creative ways to do this?
I'm not saying that entrepreneurship is easy by any means, but it can be very rewarding in terms of personal/career development. It's just one option (and possibly the only one in the current market), but it's always good to keep an open mind, and follow your dreams despite the hurdles.
29. Mylz on August 8, 2013 2:20 PM writes...
Thanks for the clarification.
I'll simplify my point to calling it something of a Catch-22, particularly in pharma.
Of course optimism is good, and entrepreneurship always an option to keep in mind.
Maybe seeking out jobs with new entrepreneurs at small start-ups as a learning experience would be a good path. It suggests a way around the Catch-22, rather than the bare implication of running headlong into it. This might be a more optimistic/effective way to present the idea to the disaffected.
/all with a grain of salt
//good to understand your point of view

@28: Your proposal to team up with other (current or potential) entrepreneurs and/or small start ups is a great suggestion.
Either way, if one doesn't have existing finances, experience and contacts, one must be creative to build these over time by leveraging what everyone does have: ideas and time.

Don't underestimate how many job postings are just branding or H1B visa justifications. These HR depts are just laughing at all the resume submissions.

John Hanning Speke(1827-1864), Explorer in Africa
Sitter in 6 portraits
After an eventful military career, Speke joined Richard Burton on expeditions to Somalia (1854-55) and the uncharted region of the east African lakes (1856-59). He was the first European to see Lake Victoria, which he christened in honour of Queen Victoria, and conceived the idea that the lake was the source of the Nile. His theory was rejected by Burton and a bitter public dispute ensued. On a second expedition to the lake (1860 -63), Speke visited the Ripon Falls. However, critics remained unconvinced because Speke had not circumnavigated the lake nor followed the river's full course. On the 15 September 1864, the day before a scheduled public debate with Burton, Speke died in shooting accident.
