Wood Puzzle Portraits
by Carol T Chung
on 20 September 2005
Eric Quebral has embraced wood as a medium once again with these elegant iconic character portraits. Each background is composed of the parts for a wooden toy puzzle version of the gun. Sure, I could sit here and write about how great and hot this work is, but I don't really need to, now do I? Check out the link for previous sneaker inspired work shown on Cool Hunting.

The Senators will be a very different team this year, but theyre still a program in search of at least a share of its fourth straight league title.
Oct. 25
After stunning Douglas with a last-second field goal a year ago, Carson gets a second straight home game in the rivalry and will look to make it four wins in a row over the Tigers.
Logan Krupp, LB, senior: The second-leading returning tackler from last season, Krupp is expected to help anchor the Senators defense from his linebacker spot. As a junior, Krupp recorded 41 tackles and two sacks.
Joey Thurman, RB, junior: Fair or not, Thurman has big shoes to fill from the departed Dylan Sawyers. But Thurman enters his junior season with some experience. He ran for 300 yards and three touchdowns last season.
Garrett Schafer, QB, junior: Schafer will start the first three games (and maybe more) in place of Matt Nolan.
Levi Carter: God bless America! ... He says that when hes mad, when we screw up in drills.
Matt Nolan: That was nassssty!
Coach Blair Roman: Probably the one the kids like the best is when I say, That was nasty. They like that.
Blair Roman knew he was losing his top two ball-carriers and pass-catchers as well as key cogs on defense. But the Carson coach was counting on sending out a returning quarterback in 2012.
Roman instead will trot out junior Garrett Schafer after senior Matt Nolan was ruled academically ineligible for three games.
Nolan threw for nearly 1,500 yards and 11 touchdowns a year ago. But it will be Schafer for the first three games and maybe more.
Once he gets his academics taken care of, I anticipate him stepping into a key role for us, Roman said of Nolan. Matt is an impact player, and depending on Garretts development, we may be able to move (Nolan) around.
The best thing about Garrett right now is he understands what were doing and manages things really well. Thats the first step to being a good quarterback.
Schafer, who stepped in for Nolan in the second half last season and completed 6-of-8 passes for 62 yards and a touchdown, has the confidence of his coach and teammates.
If we give him time, Im sure hell do all right, Levi Carter said.
I have a lot of confidence in him and I think he can get the job done at the end of the day, running back Joey Thurman said.
It will be up to Thurman to help relieve some of the pressure from Schafer. The junior is expected to receive the bulk of the carries stepping in for the graduated Dylan Sawyers.
Roman said Thurman is primed for a good year.

ROCKFORD — Predawn raids by federal, county, local and Chicago law enforcement officials resulted in the arrest Friday of a dozen suspected Hells Angels.
INSIDE: Arrests & charges
BELOW: Arrests & charges
ROCKFORD — Predawn raids by federal, county, local and Chicago law enforcement officials resulted in the arrest Friday of a dozen suspected Hells Angels.
They were charged with multiple felonies, including aggravated battery, armed robbery and kidnapping.
City officials also condemned the motorcycle gang's clubhouse, 1109 Rock St., for building-code violations.
The arrests come nine days before the Hells Angels' 2013 USA Run, a motorcycle rally that is expected to bring 500 to 1,000 bikers to Rockford from July 28 to Aug. 3.
Winnebago County State's Attorney Joe Bruscato said the individuals are "alleged" members of the local chapter whose arrests stemmed from a matter within the club.
"It's isolated. It's internal, and I do not see this involving any outside citizens," he said. "I also do not see it as being related to the upcoming rally."
USA Run attendees will camp at Lyran Park, a secluded Kishwaukee riverfront campsite south of Chicago Rockford International Airport. Others have booked rooms at several hotels near East State Street and Interstate 90.
Rockford police began a criminal investigation in June regarding allegations of aggravated battery, armed robbery and kidnapping that occurred at the Hells Angels Clubhouse.
The victims also are alleged to be Hells Angels. Detectives reviewed the allegations with Bruscato's office and charges were authorized against 14 men.
As early as 4:30 a.m., officers from the Rockford and Chicago police departments, Winnebago County Sheriff's Department and Illinois State Police; and agents with Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms and Explosives, the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Winnebago County state's attorney's office executed 14 simultaneous arrest warrants at residences in Rockford, Loves Park, Rockton, Pecatonica, Belvidere, Freeport, Chicago, Countryside and the Winnebago County Fairgrounds.
Rockford police also executed a search warrant at the Hells Angels Clubhouse.
The Hells Angels have been classified by the Justice Department as an outlaw gang long entrenched in a culture of drugs and weapons trafficking, extortion, money laundering, theft and violent crime.
The local chapter has a history of violence dating to the early 1990s.
Lamont "Monte" Mathias, 47, a leader of a Rockford club called the Hells Henchmen, was shot and bludgeoned to death in June 1994 at his motorcycle repair shop in the 700 block of Broadway.
The homicide was linked to a bombing, arson, robbery and drug trafficking that authorities described as a bloody turf war between the Hells Angels and another motorcycle club, the Outlaws.
Winnebago County Sheriff Dick Meyers said law enforcement agencies have been meeting for weeks and planning for this month's rally. Police will be out in force.
"The best plan allows you to deviate from it if something that you didn't anticipate occurs."

Clinical trials for Internal Medicine specialty
To evaluate the effect of plavix dosing in respect to how much time is needed to achieve maximum platelet inhibition which may decrease risk of thrombeombolic disease.
Inclusion Criteria
Diagnosis of protein losing nephropathy, cases with high indices of suspicion without definitive diagnosis will also be considered.
Exclusion Criteria
Dogs will be excluded if they have received steroids or any anticoagulant medications.
Client Benefits
May be able to use a lower dose of plavix, therefore, more cost-effective.
Contact Information
Diane Welsh, Clinical Trials Technician firstname.lastname@example.com
A common concurrent condition often appreciated in feline CKD patients is cardiac disease. High rate fluid therapy to treat azotemia puts these patients at risk for congestive heart failure( CHF). Anecdotally at Tufts, an improvement in azotemia, appetite and attitude has been noted in cats treated for cardiac disease with pimobendan that also have kidney disease. We would like to assess tolerability of pimobendan and possible benefits in patients with CKD, IRIS stage 3 or 4. Investigating these initial clinical observations with a larger study will help establish whether pimobendan could be a novel treatment for cats with kidney disease. Benefits could include decreased hospitalization time, improved appetite, improved kidney perfusion with reduced azotemia, and the ability to treat kidney disease while simultaneously protecting against CHF in patients with concurrent cardiac disease.
Inclusion Criteria:
Cats with IRIS stage 3 or 4 CKD at the time of hospital admission will be included in this study. After 24 to 72 hours of fluids, once dehydration is judged to be largely resolved (<5% dehydrated), cats would be eligible to enter one of two groups receiving the standard of care and either benazepril or pimobendan.
Cats with concurrent cardiac disease that are not currently receiving cardiac medications and are not experiencing signs of CHF at presentation, including respiratory distress or oxygen dependence, will be allowed to participate in this study.
Exclusion Criteria:
Cats with comorbid conditions (i.e. diabetes mellitus, liver failure, neoplasia, ureteral obstruction, and acute kidney injury that requires dialysis), those unwilling to take oral medication (i.e. vomiting, fractious), and cats with hypotension (blood pressure <120 mmHg) will be excluded from this study.
Any cats experiencing unusual agitation, anorexia, vomiting >2 times, worsening of low blood pressure (<120mmHg), worsening of existing cardiac disease, diagnostic evidence of progression of kidney disease (increased BUN/creatinine), or side effects that adversely affect quality of life after starting the study drug will be removed from this study.

Canine borreliosis has been associated with renal failure and death ("Lyme nephritis') although causation remains speculative. The Ixodes tick in Northeastern U.S. transmits Borrelia burgdorferi, Anaplasma phagocytophilum, and Babesia microti. Babesia microti-like organisms have been associated with anemia, renal failure, and death in dogs in Spain. Babesia microti is known to infect humans and foxes in the Northeastern United States. We intend to investigate the incidence of babesial infection in dogs with signs suggestive of Lyme nephritis. We hypothesize that renal failure and death attributed to borrelial infection in dogs ("Lyme nephritis') is due to infection or co-infection with a Babesia microti-like organism.
As a control group, we will be obtaining blood samples from dogs presenting to Tufts Foster Hospital for Small Animals for surgical repair of cruciate ligament disease for the presence of Babesia microti-like DNA.
Inclusion Criteria:
Control dogs: Healthy dogs presenting for surgical repair of cruciate ligament disease.
Client Benefits:
The study will cover the costs of blood testing for Babesia microti-like infection, heartworm disease and exposure to the infectious organisms Ehrlichia canis, Anaplasma phagocytophilum and Borrelia burgdorferi. Your pet's participation will also allow us to gain information which will help in the diagnosis and management of other patients.

CSRC Protocol #: 030-14
Enrollment beginning in February 2015
The purpose of the study is to determine whether the administration of canine umbilical cord derived mesenchymal stem cells (UC-MSCs) is safe, and if it will reduce kidney injury to a greater extent than the current standard of care. The study will measure kidney values to see if they stay in or return to a normal range as well as overall survival. Secondarily, the study will monitor for any changes in your dog's likelihood to form blood clots.
Inclusion Criteria:
Dogs presenting with protein-losing nephropathy, hypoalbuminemia (<2.0 g/dl), azotemia (creatinine >2.0), thrombocytopenia (platelets < 160,000), and a hypercoaguable state.
Any gender, and any breed, weighing > 4 kg (8.8 pounds).
Able to come back for recheck appointments on days 2, 7, 14, 30 and 3, 6 and 12 months post injection.
Exclusion Criteria:
Dogs weighing less than 4 kg (8.8 pounds)
Dogs not expected to live greater than 48 hours, those with cardiac disease, and those with neoplasia.
Also excluded will be those dogs with an active bacterial urinary tract infection, and those suspected or confirmed to have leptospirosis.
Client Benefits:
The study will cover some of the costs that are typically acrued in the diagnostic evaluation of dogs with protein-losing kidney disease including complete blood count, chemistry profile, urinalysis, urine culture, urine protein creatinine ratio, thromboeslatograph (a clotting profile), antithrombin level (to see if your dog is at risk for forming blood clots), ANA (looking for lupus, an autoimmune disease) , serology for tick borne diseases and leptospirosis. It will also cover an abdominal ultrasound examination and the cost of a kidney biopsy. Kidney biopsy is part of the standard diagnostic workup for dogs with protein-losing kidney disease permits it (not too anemic, platelet count adequate, and not hypertensive). The risks associated with kidney biopsy are blood loss from the biopsy site. Your dog will be monitored closely for 4 hours after the biopsy to make sure that any bleeding stabilizes. Heart rate, respiratory rate, mucus membrane color, and blood count will be monitored hourly. Should there be any evidence of sustained bleeding, your dog will be administered intravenous fluids and if needed a blood transfusion. The cost of the blood transfusion will be the responsibility of the owner. The study will also cover the cost for follow up blood work at the scheduled rechecks during the 365 days of the study. Your pet's participation will also allow us to gain information which will help in the diagnosis/management/treatment of other dogs with this condition. You understand that your animal's participation in this study may not alleviate or cure his/her ailment.

CSRC Protocol #: 026-14
Enrollment beginning February 2015
Dogs get a disease of the intestine called inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) in which the normal lining of the intestine is replaced by inflammatory white blood cells. This inflammation results in poor digestion, often manifesting as diarrhea, vomiting, and weight loss, and in some cases, loss of protein through the feces. This leads to a severe protein deficiency in the body, called a protein losing enteropathy (PLE). PLE is typically an indication of very severe intestinal inflammation and dogs with this condition may not respond well to typical medications used to treat IBD. In addition the PLE itself can cause fatal complications such as edema, fluid in the abdominal cavity, and blood clots. There is a need for new therapies to treat dog with PLE secondary to IBD. Based on evidence in the literature from pre-clinical and clinical trials in humans, we hypothesize that treatment of dogs with a PLE from IBD with stem cells isolated from the umbilical cords of dogs will modulate the inflammatory response in the intestine and induce clinical remission.
The purpose of the study is to determine whether intravenous administration of cells called mesenchymal stem cells can improve your dog's clinical signs as well as their blood protein levels. It is believed that the benefit of these stem cells is related to their ability to suppress inflammation.
Inclusion Criteria:
Dogs will have had incomplete response to therapy with prednisone, budesonide and/or cyclosporine (defined by a clinical score (CCECAI) >5), have intolerable side effects on medication, or have the administration of cyclosporine or chlorambucil be financially unreasonable for the owner, as these are the patients who require alternative therapeutic options.
Dogs with biopsy confirmed IBD and bloodwork confirmed panhypoproteinemia
(total protein <5.5 mg/dl) will be enrolled. The biopsies may be performed at Tufts if they are not already available for pathologist review.
Both male and female dogs weighing greater than 11 pounds and any age will be considered for the study.
Exclusion Criteria:
Dogs with a urine protein:creatinine (UPC) ratio of >0.5, a baseline cortisol < 2 ug/dL, and a post- prandial bile acids of > 30 uM will be excluded from the study. This will eliminate dogs with protein loss through the kidneys, abnormal production of protein from the liver, or Addison's disease. These tests can be performed at Tufts.
All dogs will have an abdominal ultrasound and those with signs of intestinal or extra-intestinal masses will be excluded.
Yorkshire Terriers, Soft-Coated Wheaten Terriers, and Boxers will be excluded, as these dogs have unique IBD features that respond differently from the general population of dogs.
Dogs with congestive heart failure, Cushing's disease, diabetes mellitus, or cancer will also be excluded.
Client Benefits:
Expenses associated with giving the injection of stem cells and in evaluating your dog after the injection will be covered. Some initial testing, recheck examinations, and follow-up blood work will be covered. Your pet's participation will also allow us to gain valuable information which will help in the management and treatment of other dogs with this condition.

The liver performs an essential role in absorption of dietary vitamin D and synthesis of the active form of vitamin D. Vitamin D deficiency is a known problem in people with liver disease and these patients routinely receive supplementation. Vitamin D deficiency has not been documented in cats with liver disease. Our goal is to determine if cats with primary liver disease have low levels of vitamin D. If they do this finding could lead to the development of clinical guidelines for vitamin D supplementation.
Inclusion Criteria:
Cats over 1 year of age with one of the following:
- Hyperbilirubinemia
- Elevated ALT and/or ALP
- Cytologic or histopathologic diagnosis of a primary hepatobiliary disease
Exclusion Criteria:
- Hyperthyroidism
- Acute pancreatitis
- IRIS Stage 2 chronic kidney disease (creatinine >1.6 mg/dl)
- Congestive heart failure
- Hypercalcemia (elevated ionized calcium)
- Corticosteroid or ursodeoxcholic acid administration within the last 2 weeks
Client Benefits:
The study will cover the cost of the vitamin D panel. Your cat's participation will also allow us to gain information which will help in the treatment of other cats with this condition

For questions regarding the clinical trial please email the clinical trials technician, Diane Welsh at: email@example.com
The aim of the study is to see if we can identify a new virus (feline morbillivirus) in cats in the New England area. This virus has only previously been identified in cats in Hong Kong and China.
We are particularly interested in determine if the virus infects US cats, since it has been associated with chronic kidney disease, one of the most common and devastating diseases of pet cats worldwide.
Inclusion Criteria:
Any cat weighing greater than 2 pounds
Client Benefits:
There are no direct financial benefits for you to enroll your cat in this study. Additionally, there will be no direct benefit for your cat's diagnostic or treatment plan as the results of the tests will not be available while your cat is in the hospital. The results will remain anonymous and thus cannot be disclosed to you at any time.
The results of this study should help us in the future to determine if feline morbillivirus infects cats in the United States, and ultimately if it is associated with kidney disease in cats. The costs associated with your pet's treatment will be the same as you would expect to pay normally and will be based upon the treatment plan discussed with your doctor. Your animal's participation in this study will not in any way affect his/her outcome.

Antibiotic use in the aged horse: Do we need to adjust our treatment?
It is well documented as humans age (starting at 65 most notable at > 70 years old) that physiological changes take place in particularly a decline in kidney function. These changes may affect drug therapy with a decreased elimination of a drug secondary to decreased kidney elimination, placing the patient at increased risk of drug toxicity. In clinical practice is it common to adjust the treatment dose and interval accordingly for older humans taking medications that are cleared by the kidney.
Animals similar to the human experience physiological changes during aging. However there is little information available concerning changes in kidney function in the older adult horse. The purpose of this clinical study is to answer the question of whether we should be adjusting the dosage of particular drugs in the older horse due to a subclinical decline in kidney function. One of the common antibiotics used in horses of all ages is the drug gentamicin. It is an effective antibiotic that is eliminated through the kidneys. Our goal is to see if the dosage or frequency of drug delivery should be changed in the older horse in order to avoid toxicity.
The study that will be conducted at Cummings School of Veterinary Medicine by the Dorothy Havemeyer Foundation will look at the levels and elimination of a single dose of gentamicin in both young horses (5-10 years) and older horses ≥25 years of age. Horses in the study will receive a physical examination, blood and urinalysis free of charge to determine the eligibility for entry into the study. The study will take place at the Hospital for Large Animals at the Cummings School of Veterinary Medicine at Tufts University. The animals would be housed in the hospital for 2 nights. Owners will be compensated for transportation costs. The study will require a single dose of gentamicin followed by multiple blood collections via an intravenous catheter, to determine the elimination of the drug by the kidneys. A single dose is considered safe for the use in the normal horse. Intravenous catheters will be placed to avoid multiple blood sticks.
Please contact Drs. Mary Rose Paradis or Daniela Bedenice at 508-839-7926 (firstname.lastname@example.com) for more information regarding enrolment of either young (5-10 years) or older horses (≥25 years).
Comparison of histamine bronchoprovocation using respiratory inductive plethysmography (RIP) and forced oscillatory mechanics (FOM) to measure airway hyperreactivity in horses with inflammatory airway disease (IAD)
Inflammatory airway disease (IAD) is a non-infectious lung condition which often manifests as intermittent coughing, nasal discharge, and increased mucus in the airways of horses. IAD, similar to human asthma, affects many horses of varying age, resulting in chronic poor respiratory health and exercise intolerance. Improvements in diagnosing and monitoring responses to treatment of IAD would improve horse welfare and benefit the equine industry.
IAD is diagnosed by either semi-invasive (bronchoalveolar lavage – BAL or "lung wash") or non-invasive techniques (lung function testing using FOM/RIP). Forced oscillatory mechanics (FOM) testing is performed to non-invasively measure the horse's respiratory system resistance as an indicator of airway obstruction or narrowing. In contrast, RIP or "Respiratory Inductive Plethysmography", non-invasively measures the disparity between the horse's breathing efforts and the amount of airflow actually moving out of the lungs, which would indicate inflammation or obstruction. Both tests are performed before and after nebulization with histamine for the assessment of airway reactivity or 'twitchiness' of the airways, which is a common feature of IAD.
The use of FOM is limited to the hospital setting; whereas the RIP system is portable and thus highly applicable to clinical field practice and stall-side research use. However, the two methodologies have yet to be compared directly; although each has been validated against a conventional method to measure airway resistance (esophageal balloon-pneumotachography). This study is therefore essential in validating the use of portable lung function testing (RIP) by substantiating that comparable results may be achieved using either RIP or FOM.
Inclusion Criteria:
Horses of any sex, aged 2-20 years, and weighing 300-600 kg, with clinical signs suggestive of inflammatory airway disease (poor performance, exercise intolerance, cough or nasal discharge); a condition similar to asthma in people.
Exclusion Criteria:
Horses that show signs of infectious disease (as determined by history, fever or physical examination), upper respiratory tract abnormalities (such as increased airway noise during exercise) or recurrent airway obstruction (signs of respiratory abnormalities at rest).
Client Benefits:
The study will cover most of the costs associated with any testing related to the study (the overnight stay, both forms of lung function testing, and the lung wash will be covered by the study). You will thus have the benefit of a physical examination, lung function testing, and bronchoalveolar lavage cytology to inform you of your horse's health status. Your horse's participation will also allow us to gain information which will help in the diagnosis and management of other patients with IAD.

Public street art as private purchase? Banksy's Haight Street rat turns up in Miami
STREET SEEN Like many of his Bay Area art world peers, the beret-wearing rat that Banksy stenciled on the side of Haight Street's Red Victorian hotel in 2010 was in Miami for Art Basel week.

Hurray for science! Thanks to it and people who believe in it, a small tan spore that has been sprouting happily for Bay Area trippers for decades has a name: Psilocybe allenii. Our friends at the Psychedelic Society of San Francisco tipped us off to the fact that PSSF lecturer and mycologist Alan Rockefeller had helped pen a definitional paper that introduced the little guys. Rockefeller will be leading a Society mushroom hunt -- open to all comers -- in Golden Gate Park on Thu/20. He told us hippies have been hunting Psilocybe allenii in the park for ages, previously using its informal name Psilocybe cyanofriscosa, which sounds suspiciously close to "San Francisco" to us.

Henry fires a disappointing free-kick into the defensive wall and that should be that
Lugano is booked for protesting the award of a dubious France free-kick just outside the box. This will be the last chance of the game and Henry is lining it up
The full-time whistle is close and a point apiece is probably about right after what has been a low-key game short on chances. Three minutes will be added for stoppages
Henry and France appeal unsuccessfully for a penalty claiming a Victorino handball but the referee rightly waves play on
Uruguay look happy to hang on for a point as France dominate possession but continue to appear toothless in attack
Diego Perez heads off and is replaced by Sebastian Eguren as Uruguay look to shut up shop
France make a final change with Andre-Pierre Gignac on for the ineffective Govou
Ribery beats his man but lashes a left-foot cross straight out of play. It has been one of those nights for the Bayern Munich winger
Henry rises well to meet Sagna's cross but the flag goes up just as his cute header drops the wrong side of the Uruguay upright
France seem happy to send over aimless crosses and Raymond Domenech again gesticulates wildly from the technical area
Substitute Lodeiro sees red as he catches Sagna on the ankle and rightfully earns a second yellow card. He looks distraught but there can be no complaints
It's getting a little tetchy as we move towards the final 10 minutes. Malouda livens it up with a left-foot drive from 25 yards which flashes comfortably wide
Muslera claims Malouda's free-kick with a calm authority and Henry is yet to touch the ball since coming on
France respond by sending on Malouda for Gourcuff
Sebastian Abreu comes on for Suarez
Forlan holds his head as Suarez flicks on a throw in and he pulls a 12-yard shot wide of the mark. He should have scored there and he knows it!
Raymond Domenech finally makes a change and sends on Thierry Henry for Anelka. Again the horns begin to blow!
Suarez almost sneaks the ball though Abidal's legs and would have been clean through on the keeper. Uruguay appear to have something of a second wind now
Jeremy Toulalan is booked for a late challenge on Pereira. He and Uruguay captain Lugano go head-to-head to discuss
Lloris spills a cross but the whistle blows as Suarez clearly had eyes for the keeper and not the ball and clattered into him
France are starting to turn the screw now as Uruguay fall back into their own half. Do Les Bleus have enough guile to unlock this well-drilled defence though?
Forlan's dipping free-kick bounces in front of Lloris but the French keeper holds well under pressure from Suarez. Lodeiro is booked for dissent
Uruguay send on Nicolas Lodeiro for Ignacio Maria Gonzalez in a first change
Gourcuff lays off a free-kick for Ribery but he takes a swipe from 18 yards and the effort flies well off target. That showed good intelligence if not technique!
Victorino is booked for catching Evra deep in the Uruguay half
Pereira hacks an angled pass looking for the unmarked Anelka away from danger after France break with rare pace and promise
Diaby wastes a good chance to break and then clatters into an opponent in a 10-second passage of play to forget from the Arsenal giant
Gourcuff clatters a shot into Diego Moreno Lugano on the edge of the box following a good run and cut inside from skipper Evra
Forlan takes the ball down superbly on his chest but crashes a difficult volley over the crossbar under pressure from an excellent Gallas attempted block. Good football all around
Diaby heads away Forlan's cross-cum-shot at the back post as France find themselves on the back foot at the start of the second half
Suarez goes down easily under challenge from Diaby and the referee takes the bait and awards Uruguay a dangerous free-kick
Anelka and Govou get in each other's way and right on cue Thierry Henry begins to warm up behind one of the goals!
Uruguay kick-off the second period here in Green Point Stadium
Muslera punches clear a Gourcuff in-swinging free-kick under extreme pressure and the whistle brings a cagey first half to a close
One minute will be added to this first half for stoppages
Forlan is seeing plenty of the ball but so far his attacking colleagues just don't seem to be on the same wavelength
Raymond Domenech is waving his arms wildly on the touchline and doesn't look happy with what he has seen in a low-key first half
Alvaro Barragan Pereira goes down holding his knee following a block tackle with Govou and he looks to be struggling after a jarring of the joint
Diego Perez Ruso fells Diaby in midfield and is lucky not to see yellow as it was right under this officious referee's nose
Gallas is fortunate as he makes a mess of a long ball and lets in Suarez only for the whistle to go for a free-kick against the Uruguay striker
Referee Nishimura of Japan is taking no nonsense and certainly enjoys a good gesticulation or two
Suarez is flagged offside from a brilliant Forlan pass and that's criminal from the Uruguay striker. Forlan lets him know that too!
Forlan is having to drop deep to get the ball as Uruguay's midfield is non-existent and he can't do any damage with his back to goal some 40 yards out
Anelka gets in the way of Diaby's pass looking for the run of Govou and the flag goes up for offside. Govou would have been clean through on goal and coach Raymond Domenech can't believe it
Govou's low cross almost falls perfectly for Anelka but Mauricio Victorino hooks the ball away with his side pinned back in their own half
Diaby goes on a storming run but the move is ended by an Anelka cross to nobody. The Chelsea striker would have seen no support had he bothered to look up there!
Diego Roberto Godin stands tall and stops the run of Anelka just as it looks as if the goal was gaping after Uruguay gifted possession to the France striker in a dangerous position
Gourcuff again goes for goal from distance but again is not close to troubling the keeper with a left-foot effort from 30 yards
Ribery now sees yellow for a needless tackle on Egidio Arevalo Rios deep in the Uruguay half
Gourcuff almost surprises the keeper with a cute free-kick to the near post which Fernando Nestor Muslera has to scamper across his line to fist behind
Hugo Lloris claws away a curling effort from Forlan from the edge of the box after the striker earned a yard of space with William Gallas standing off. That's a warning to the French defence not to switch off
Nicolas Anelka gives the ball away cheaply and he's not made the best of starts to this match
Govou's weak header from a corner is cleared by Suarez but France are still on the front foot
Patrice Evra is booked for pulling back Victor Pereira by his shirt on the halfway line. That was needless from the France skipper
Abou Diaby cuts inside but drives an ambitious 30-yard shot well high and wide from a central position
Yoann Gourcuff dwells on the ball and has it nicked off his toes but France have certainly started the brighter
Ribery bundles his way past his marker and squares a cross which Sidney Govou makes a hash off from six yards out. That had the game's opening goal written all over it!
Not a lot to report so far with neither side able to carve out any serious opening in a cagey start
For France Franck Ribery also looks in determined mood and he could well prove central to their hopes of progressing far
Forlan tries a cheeky back-heel which almost comes off and the Atletico Madrid striker looks lively in these opening seconds
France get this game underway to the deafening noise of horns being blown around the stadium
Uruguay spring no such surprises with Luis Suarez partnering the ever-dangerous Diego Forlan in a potent attack
France coach Raymond Domenech is no stranger to controversy and not only he has left Thierry Henry on the bench but there is also no place in his starting line-up for Chelseas Florent Malouda
Earlier in the day in Group A, honours were even between South Africa and Mexico so a win here could prove significant to eithers hopes of reaching the knockout stages
Uruguay take on France in the second game of the World Cup finals tonight in the glittering new stadium on the Cape Town waterfront

OAKLAND — An attorney says a nursing home has agreed to provide long-term care for a 13-year-old girl, who has been declared brain dead but whose family maintains is still alive.
A southern California facility agreed after another nursing home backed out, the family's lawyer, Christopher Dolan, said Friday.
He wouldn't provide its name, saying "we're afraid they'll be inundated with press" and decide to back out as well.
Time is short for the family, as Alameda County Superior Court Judge Evelio Grillo on Tuesday ruled that the Children's Hospital Oakland may remove Jahi McMath from life support at 5 p.m. Monday unless an appeal is filed.
Jahi underwent tonsil surgery at Children's Hospital on Dec. 9 to treat sleep apnea. After she awoke from the operation, her family said, she started bleeding heavily from her mouth and went into cardiac arrest. Doctors at Children's Hospital concluded the girl was brain dead on Dec. 12 and wanted to remove her from life support. The family said they believe she is still alive.

IN his early boyhood Soames had been given to the circus. He had outgrown it; 'Circuses' were now to him little short of an abomination. Jubilees and Pageants, that recurrent decimal, the Lord Mayor's show, Earl's Court, Olympia, Wembley--he disliked all. He could not stand a lot of people with their mouths open. Dressing up was to him a symptom of weak-mindedness, and the collective excitement of a crowd an extravagance which offended his reticent individualism. Though not deeply versed in history, he had an idea, too, that nations who went in for 'circuses' were decadent. Queen Victoria's funeral, indeed, had impressed him --there had been a feeling in the air that day; but ever since, things had gone from bad to worse. They made everything into a 'circus' now; A man couldn't commit a murder without the whole paper-reading population--himself included--looking over each other's shoulders; and as to these football-matches, and rodeos--they interfered with the traffic and the normal course of conversation; people were so crazy about them!
Of course, 'circuses' had their use. They kept the people quiet. Violence by proxy, for instance, was obviously a political principle of some value. It was difficult to gape at the shedding of blood and shed it at the same time; the more people stood in rows to see others being hurt, the less trouble would they take to hurt others, and the sounder Soames could sleep by night. Still, sensation- hunting had become a disease, in his opinion, and no one was being inoculated for it, so far as he could see!
As the weeks went on and the cases before it in the List went off, the 'circus' they were proposing to make of his daughter appeared to him more and more monstrous. He had an instinctive distrust of Scotchmen--they called themselves Scotsmen nowadays, as if it helped their character!--they never let go, and he could not approve in other people a quality native to himself. Besides, 'Scotchmen' were so--so exuberant--always either dour

Beekeepers in the urban environment have unique needs and motivations for beekeeping. The traditional hive requires the bee keeper to stoop, lift, and stack heavy loads in order to manage the bees. All hives need a dedicated buffer zone between the bees and people in order to avoid unwanted interaction. By allowing the hives to be elevated overhead, the bees' flight patterns do not interfere with human activities on the ground level. The hives can be easily lowered to an individual's ideal working height and then raised up again without upsetting the bees.

Worst museum I've ever been to, but the store was interesting.
Such amazing steaks. No sauces or butters needed. Mac & cheese good but overrated, I'd try something else personally.
Kitchen shuts down from 11pm - midnight. Reopens with a different menu.
I had tastes of 5 different things, and tbh, every one was flavorless.
Veggie plate, extra artichoke instead of peppers. To die for
This one is way more West than it is East, especially compared to what I'm used to in NYC. Still nice to find a bit of Korea in PA tho
Paleo salad with chicken and wasabi dressing is perfect
Drunken chocolate cake is pretty damn small. Can't share it among more than 2.
Don't get the scallops! Only truly not good thing I've had here.
Scallion pancake... Omg. Lemon chicken w/ extra sauce. Everything else amazing, w/ rock shrimp the only actual slight disappointment.
Bacon is awesome. Everything else... Not so much. Thought the eggs Benedict was way under par.
Mussels and scallops. Mussels and scallops. Trust me... Mussels and scallops.
I like the savory ones best. Arizona Cheese is to die for
OMG OMG OMG. These literally are incredible and the best fries on earth. I feel like I want to come back daily.

by Jo Nipperess
Our daughter Kylee passed away in Port Macquarie Base Hospital in July of 2012 after suffering from an undiagnosed, terminal lung disease and as a way of showing our appreciation of the caring attention she received there under the supervision of Dr Bill Lancashire, my husband Keith decided to organise a fundraiser.
Kylee's mexican fiesta fundraiser
Kylee's fundraiser will raise funds for a Bi PAP machine which is used throughout the hospital as a vital resource to assist breathing and was the item suggested by Dr Bill Lancashire of Port Macquarie Base Hospital Intensive Care when we asked what they needed.
The event 'Kylee's Mexican Fiesta Fundraiser' is to be held at the Manly Surf Lifesaving Club on Friday 28th February 2014 6-11pm. Dr Lancashire will be attending.
Many friends and local business owners have become involved and it is both wonderful and overwhelming to see such generosity.
All the funds raised will go directly towards the purchase of the Bi PAP machine.
A sample of prizes are:
• Helicopter Flight over Sydney Harbour and the beautiful coastline of the Northern Beaches and across the North Shore.
• Six Laps in a track prepared Ferrari F430 Supercar Experience
• Exclusive opportunity to join the training ( 2-3 hours) of Olympic and four times World champions in motor boat with Australian sailing Team head Coach Victor Kovalenko OAM. (More about this prize below)
• A four hour Pittwater Cruise for six people -Catered.
• Nitro Circus Tickets – four VIP.
• Diving with Sharks
• Summer Accommodation for a week in Thredbo
• Cavallino Restaurant– four course degustation menu plus matching wines for six
• A Colnago Road Bike
The items above are just a few of what is available to win on the night. There is something for everyone with live entertainment, auctions, silent auctions, raffles and luck door prizes.
Exclusive opportunity to join the training (2-3 hours) of Olympic and four time World champion in motor boat with Australian sailing Team Head Coach Victor Kovalenko OAM.
ISAF Sailing World Cup, Melbourne Day 6 - Victor Kovalenko
Answering to the nickname The Medal Maker, it's a fair bet there isn't much about sailing Victor Kovalenko doesn't know.
The Ukrainian-born Australian Olympic coach has guided our sailors to five gold and three bronze medals since taking charge of Australia's sailing stocks in 1988.
Kovalenko believes he can improve the skills of even the most inexperienced sailor and is out to prove it with a generous offer of attending a coaching session to help raise funds for a special fundraiser.
Former northern beaches resident Kylee Farrell (nee Nipperess) was just 38 when she contracted and then lost her battle against a rare and incurable lung disease in 2012, leaving behind a husband and three young children.
There are more questions than answers as to what caused the disease and research is continuing in the hope of unlocking the mystery.
The local community, along with Kylee's family and many friends around Australia, have organised a fundraiser at Manly Life Saving Club to help Port Macquarie Base Hospital pay for the purchase of a BioPhasic Airways Pressure Machine (BiPAP).
This will help other respiratory sufferers at the hospital where Kylee was given the best of treatment and care from the wonderful medicos and staff.
Kovalenko's coaching offer is among a raft of terrific auction items including, holiday accommodation packages, fully catered boat cruises, a six-lap drive in a Ferrari F430, a dive with sharks and a chopper ride to Palm Beach.
For bookings or to donate, log on to www.trybooking.com/DVLQ, or for further information about this fundraiser contact Keith Nipperess on 0415 616 250.
