theres some cases where for whatever reason parents keep their children totally secluded in a room with no contact for like 10 years and they find them like that
"I'll go," said Chagataev. "But what will I do there? Build socialism?"
"What else?" said the secretary.
I'd love to see how I'd turn out if I spent 18 years with cats.

I watched a show on Feral Childern a few weeks back, and it said that if you don't teach your child how to talk by 4 (2-3 is one of it's "critical points" in life for love and teachings), there's a chance they'll never learn to talk because without affection or social contact, the child's brain doesn't develop properly.
In the 1400 or 1500s, a man taught a 12 year old feral boy manners, hygine, affection, and even some music, but he couldn't teach the kid to talk. His brain was too underdeveloped.
I watched a documentary on them a while back.
Quite Interesting.
there was a girl from russia who grew up with dogs
Is tarzan a feral man?
Probably. He was raised by gorillas, which are animals.

I loled @ this thread.
Feminists. Notice the feralchildren site says "Wolf girls and dog boys". boys cant be wolves?
Either way, sounds like feral kids need to man that shit up.
I want to be raised by sharks so i grow extra rows of razor teeth and gills, but i want to retain my human lungs so i become the ultimate predator.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (May 26, 2006) - Senior James Rainer (Alcoa, Tenn.) earned a spot in Saturday's 100-meter final, sprinting to a career-best time of 10.16, Friday at the NCAA Mid-East Regional Championships, hosted by the University of Tennessee at Tom Black Track.
Rainer's career mark was good for second place in his preliminary heat, and the fifth-best time in tomorrow's eight-man final. His run was a huge personal-best, nearly a quarter of a second ahead of his previous top time.
Wisconsin's Demi Omole recorded the top time on the day with a blistering 9.96. Kelly Willie of LSU, who won Rainer's heat, was second in qualifying, running 10.04.
The top five finishers in tomorrow's competition will receive automatic bids to the NCAA Championships. Tomorrow's 100 final is slated for 5:35 p.m.

This is a book about a boy. No, wait. This is a book about a box. Is that right? This is a book...is this even a book? Just a second. Let's try again.
This is a visual/textual essay about the relationship between a boy and a box. Maybe. Or else it's a tale about the importance of perspective to our understanding of the universe. Or maybe it's about the merits of second opinions. Maybe it's a series of haiku about making decisions without a full context. Maybe it's all about questioning what we take for granted.

2 teen girls charged with setting fire to mobile home
Published: Wednesday, February 13, 2013 at 6:06 p.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, February 13, 2013 at 6:06 p.m.
New Hanover County sheriff's deputies arrested two teenage girls this week on suspicion of setting fire to a mobile home Friday.
Summer Leigh Lentz, 17, and Kandice Long, 16, were each charged with burning an uninhabited home and breaking and entering, both felonies.
Deputies and firefighters responded to the fire at 7209 Fontana Road on Friday, according to Sgt. Jerry Brewer, a spokesman for the New Hanover County Sheriff's Office. The fire was determined to be set intentionally, and, after interviewing neighbors and other people, detectives zeroed in on two suspects they believe culpable.
Lentz was booked into the New Hanover County jail under a $125,000 bond, where Long was given a $5,000 bond and released to her parents. Long's mugshot was not available.

Full SubmissionPROPOSALS ON THE INSTITUTIONAL FRAMEWORK FOR SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT (IFSD) Submitted for consideration of the Rio Plus 20 Process by the South Centre 1. Introduction Twenty years after the Rio Summit 1992, the global sustainable development situation has deteriorated. The environment crisis has worsened. After a period of good development performances in some developing countries, the prospects for the global economy have worsened, with the financial-economic crisis now affecting Europe and the US, which has implications for developing countries. Many developing countries followed an export-led growth strategy; however if the economies of developed countries are stalling, this strategy has to be reviewed. The social dimension is bound to be affected by the environment and economic crises, which has adverse effects on poverty, employment and social services, food security, health, etc. 2. Weakness of UNCED institutional follow up The key pillars of sustainable development (SD) are thus coming under major challenges. Thus there is need to examine what has gone wrong. A major problem is the weakness of institutions set up to follow up the outcomes of Rio. The Rio vision was far-reaching, and the agenda was very ambitious, but the institutions to follow up were weak. The CSD as the main institution had a limited mandate to monitor the follow-up activities of agencies and governments, it had few resources and few staff, and it only convened meetings for one or two weeks in a year. There was no time to deliberate on issues and then on actions to address them. Important topics can be discussed only once in a few years on a rotating basis, some worthwhile subjects disappeared, and due to shortness of time only resolutions or declaration were negotiated. As a result there was little implementation capacity or strategy either at the CSD or in the various other agencies. There was also a weak framework to liaise with or stimulate national level sustainable development policies and agencies. The great deficiency has been in implementation, and in the institutional framework for implementation. Thus there is need to greatly strengthen the SD architecture. Rio Plus 20 is a great opportunity for doing that, which will not come again for a long time. Because of the complexities, the easiest and perhaps most likely outcome at Rio on the international framework for sustainable development (IFSD) will be merely to say we will strengthen the CSD and UNEP and other agencies. This is a minimal outcome, and will be an inadequate response to the huge challenges. 3. Principles and Objectives The foundation for the institutional framework are the principles and objectives. The principles that underlie the sustainable development framework are well known. It came out of the wisdom of the preparations for Rio and at Rio. It started with the environment crisis and then came to the realisation that this could be addressed properly only if development as an objective could be equally addressed. Thus the Rio Summit became the UN Conference on Environment and Development. The integral connection between the two, and the holistic approach to environment and development, became the centerpiece of sustainable development. This is enshrined in the Rio Principles which had environment principles of precaution and polluter pays as well as the development principles of the right to development and the equity principle of common but differentiated responsibility. The Agenda 21 became the action programme, augmented by the Johannesburg Plan of Action. It was agreed that sustainable development has three pillars ? economic, social and environment?which have to be balanced and taken and developed together. Added to the three pillars or underlying them is the international cooperation components of developed countries? commitment to providing financial resources, technology transfer and capacity building to developing countries so that the world as a whole benefits from addressing the environment crisis. This whole package of principles, pillars and international cooperation commitments which we know as sustainable development need not be invented again, but it has to be reaffirmed at Rio Plus 20, and it should be the foundation of the IFSD. The objectives of the IFSD should be to effectively operationalise and implement these principles. 4. Elements of the Three Pillars The three pillars of sustainable development are social, economic and environment. There are many issues in each pillar, and specific issues in one pillar should be related to relevant issues in the other two pillars. A sample of categories of key issues in the three pillars is in the table below. Table: Elements and Issues of the Three Pillars in a Sustainable Development Institutional Framework [Rio+20 Secretariat: Please refer to full submission document for graph] 5. Strengthening the Functions and Activities of Sustainable Development The IFSD has a function of convening governments, agencies, civil society, experts, to discuss key issues, explore better ways to do things in cooperation, to coordinate and be more coherent in the policies and actions, and identify areas or topics of deficiency, in which further action or new norms have to be developed. The IFSD needs to negotiate norms. These include ?soft? norms such as consensus reports or decisions of meetings and political declarations, with recommendations and action plans. They also include more legally binding norms such as treaties, and new decisions by members of treaties that update and revise existing norms. They also include new treaties and protocols where needed, including to deal with new issues or identified important areas where there is an absence of norms. The IFSD requires adequate Secretariat actions and functions. These include: (a) Research, analysis and reports and recommendations, to alert governments and the public of the situation and to give alerts on emerging problems. (b) Provide technical assistance and advice in general; (c) To make arrangements for convening meetings, their reports and follow up on the outcomes. The IFSD should take a balanced approach to the three pillars, so that each pillar is developed in concepts, outcomes and actions equitably. There should be cross-fertilisation and cross-referencing between the three pillars. For example, the social pillar has to take account of the economic and environmental dimensions; the economic pillar has to take account of the social and environmental dimensions; and the environment pillar has to take account of the social and economic dimensions. In some issues, the connections are even more obviously direct, for example, the management of energy and water resources have to link to access of the poor to energy and water resources. Implementing Actions and Agencies: This is a crucial function, which has been deficient in the past many years. The functions include: (a) Assisting countries with formulating their instutions, action plans, policies, laws and implementation mechanisms (b) Assisting countries obtain information, knowledge, technologies, good practices, recovery from natural disasters, etc. (c) More effective coordination and cooperation in implementation activities among policy-formulating and implementing agencies, at international and regional levels, and national level. Connections and division of work between global and regional institutions, as well as the UN institution/s based at country level is important, especially as sustainable development should be a country-driven process. The role of civil society is critical and adequate space should be given to its role in the design and operationalising of sustainable development frameworks and activities. 6. Need for Mechanisms for Coherence and Coordination There is need for coherence and coordination among different agencies representing different norms and objectives, and this function of coherence and coordination is also a crucial one for the IFSD. One objective of the IFSD is to work out practical methods and mechanisms for policy coherence and coordination of implementation actions. The coordination is needed: (a) Within an issue, so that there is less duplication, more synergy and more effectiveness among agencies dealing with the same issue. Mechanisms for coordinated actions could be explored that lead to better results. One example cited is the setting up of UNAIDS by several agencies dealing with AIDS, to coordinate strategy so as to have better overall results by implementing agencies. (b) Within an area, where there are many different aspects and agencies which all have to be included to obtain a solution. For example, there is need for coordinated action to address the food crisis. This requires addressing issues and agencies that include food production and sustainable agriculture practices; access of farmers to land, technology, credit, storage; marketing; appropriate trade policies and trade reforms; biodiversity and benefit-sharing arrangements; international cooperation in finance and technology transfer. (c) Across areas where there are trade-offs or potential conflicts and differing perspectives, and solutions to the trade-offs have to be taken. For example, there may be a potential conflict between open trade and environmental regulation; intellectual property and access to medicines and environmental technology; finance issues (currency fluctuations) and trade stability. At national level, the Cabinet would be an institution to resolve the different objectives according to national priorities. At the global level, mechanisms are also needed for the resolution of trade-offs. 7. Options for the Institutional Framework for Sustainable Development There are several options and scenarios for reforming the institutional framework for sustainable development (IFSD). The first is to mainly have the status quo, with a decision to strengthen the CSD, the UNEP and other relevant organizations like UNDP, the MEAs, Commission for Social Development, etc. There is a slight possibility of outcomes that are serious. However, the likelihood is that there will be minimal changes or at least changes inadequate to the task, as historical record has shown. The second is the proposal by some to convert UNEP to a World Environment Organisation. The aim is to strengthen environmental action. There have been some concerns and questions raised, such as the roles then of other UN agencies that have a bearing on environment and natural resources (such as FAO regarding forest and agriculture), or the UNFCCC regarding climate change; the upgrading of one pillar while not the other two pillars and whether it is better to develop the three pillars in a more balanced way; the foundational principles of the new organization (whether they are based on the Rio sustainable development package), and the political feasibility at the present. The third is the institutional reform of the CSD, perhaps with its re-naming as a Sustainable Development Council. This is a variant of the concept of a sustainable development umbrella. Such a transformation could include the following elements: ? Design the architecture with a general component and with the three pillars. ? The overall Council should have its status clarified with regard to the General Assembly (is it a Council reporting to the GA?) and with regard to ECOSOC (the division of work between the new CSD and the ECOSOC). ? The general component could have the function of integration of the three pillars, the development or updating of the general sustainable development principles, and the international cooperation components of finance, technology and capacity building. This general component could include mechanisms for coordinating among the agencies, committees or secretariats of the three pillars; the mobilizing and operations of finance and technology transfer; and the convening of high-level meetings of Ministers or Heads of Governments and States on ?Sustainable Development? overall in which the issues of the three pillars are on the agenda. ? The formulation of elements and issues in each of the three pillars. These could include: (1) A Sub-Council or Committee (intergovernmental) for each pillar, such that there will be a Committee on Economic Issues; a Committee on Social Issues; and a Committee on Environmental Issues. (2) A supporting secretariat or department for each of the Committees; and (3) The coordination of implementing actions by relevant UN (and other) agencies in each of the pillars. ? Regarding the agencies, as an illustrative example: (a) The agencies in the social pillar could include UNDP (poverty, MDGs), ILO (employment, social protection), DESA (social policy analysis), WHO (Health, access to water, sanitation), FAO (food security), UNESCO (education, information), Habitat (housing and services), Human Rights Council (with regard to the right to food, health and social rights; UNRISD (policy analysis) etc. (b) The agencies in the economic pillar could include DESA (macro-economic analysis, development strategies, financing for development and finance policies); UNCTAD (trade, macroeconomic and development strategies, finance, technology policy); UNDP (policy analysis, networks and capacities at country level), etc. (c) The agencies in the environment pillar could include DESA (environment aspects taken up by CSD), UNEP (chemicals, toxics, and a wide range of other environment issues), UNDP (energy and environment issues as at present and support and coordination of UN agencies at the country level); FAO (forest, agriculture), WMO, IPCC, UNFCCC (climate), CBD and Desertification Convention, other MEAs and other agencies. ? The regional commissions and agencies of the UN system should also be involved in the three pillars, and be responsible for regional-level activities ? The UN is to play a crucial role at the national level, with the Resident Representative and the UNDP to play important support or/and coordination roles. ? The methods of interaction with and involvement of the Bretton Woods institutions and the WTO in the three pillars are to be worked out. ? The status of the reformed CSD with the General Assembly, and its relations with ECOSOC, as well as other UN organs such as the Commission on Social Development, the GA Second Committee, etc. has to be worked out. ? Under this umbrella architecture, there should be more time given for the convening of meetings on sustainable development pillars and issues, for example climate change, biodiversity, financial and economic issues, where there is now a felt need for more time for intergovernmental discussion. There would be space to explore new mechanisms or better coordination for important but relatively neglected issues such as water or energy. There can be more time for more effective mobilizing of financial resources and technology development and transfer. ? The Council and its subsidiary bodies (the Committees and other bodies that may be established) could hold meetings more or less throughout the year. This will give more prominence and time to sustainable development issues. It is in contrast to the few weeks per year that the CSD meets. A fourth option is to carry out the reforms referred to in the third option, but to make it happen in ECOSOC rather than a Sustainable Development Council. 8. Conclusions The above options are perhaps not the optimal one. In the optimal model, we may even have a UN Organisation for Sustainable Development, with a powerful integrated mandate to deal with all the issues of the three pillars, and with a large Secretariat that may subsume the secretariats or parts of the secretariats of several existing UN departments, funds, programmes and agencies. Maybe this may happen in 20 years. However, it is more realistic to envisage an intermediate model, that upgrades from what we have today. The ?business as usual? model has not worked, and an upgrade is necessary to face the sustainable development challenges of today, 20 years after Rio. Given the different options and models, perhaps the one that is most suitable and feasible is the establishment of a Sustainable Development Council, which reports to the General Assembly. The ECOSOC would still have important roles to play, and the division of labour between the new Council and ECOSOC will have to be worked out.

Those of you that were fans of The Alley, A Blues Bar in Sanford, will be happy to hear the bar has reopened. It's now called The Wire, but the new owners are looking to bring back the same blues bar feel to Sanford.
According to Jillian Share, who is doing marketing for The Wire, when The Alley was bought from Donna Champion and Sandy Holcomb (the original owners) several months ago, changes in cover charges and management caused many regulars to go elsewhere. The bar ended up closing its doors due to financial concerns and the new owners took off. Share's boyfriend and his brother approached Champion and Holcomb about buying the bar and bringing it back to its former self and they agreed. The name is still in litigation, so to not cause any problems, the new owners of The Wire have changed the name temporarily until any legal concerns are cleared up.
"We want it back to the way it was," says Share. "It was always successful."
And because of that success the blues bands are back too. This month Josh Miller plays Jan. 8 -9, Mike Dugan plays Jan. 15-16, Soul Cactus plays the bar's five-year anniversary (of when the original The Alley opened) on Jan. 22-23 and Deuces Wild play on Jan. 29-30.
The Bar is open 4 p.m. – midnight Monday – Thursday and 11 a.m. – 2 a.m. Friday – Saturday, 11 a.m. – midnight on Sunday. The Wire is at 114 S. Park Ave. in Sanford, call 407-328-4848 or check out their Facebook page.

You will need... some colourful felt, some white yarn, some felt beads, a piece of strong card, and two white paper doilies. The felt beads and doilies are optional, and if you don't have any felt you can just use stiff coloured paper (eg sugar/construction paper) or thin card.
I buy my felt beads from Paper Fish
The construction of this mobile is nice and simple - four strands of butterflies, suspended from a card circle. Cut out lots of butterfly shapes from your felt using the butterfly template. You can keep these as single sided butterflies or cut out two shapes per butterfly and sew them together with matching thread to make them more sturdy (the single ones will be more likely to flop!). Alternatively, you could just use card. In between my felt butterflies I threaded some fantastic felt beads, but small circles of felt/paper (about 1 inch in diameter) would work just as well.
To make each strand, cut a long piece of white knitting yarn and knot one end. Using a darning needle, sew about three stitches through the middle of each felt butterfly, leaving enough room between them to let them spin easily and mixing up the butterflies and felt beads/circles as you go. You might want to spread out all your materials on a large surface like a table to get a good mix of colours and shapes before you start. If you're using paper butterflies & circles, use an ordinary sewing needle and white sewing thread
To make the "base" from which the mobile hangs, I used a paper doily as a template to cut out a piece of stiff corrugated card. Using a very sharp pencil, I punched four holes in the circle of card - imagine the circle is a compass and make one hole at north, south, east and west. Each hole should be about an inch in from the edge.
I then glued one doily onto each side of the card to make it more attractive and cover the holes. You could use any kind of paper for this, and a dinner plate makes a great template for cutting out a large circle.
This tutorial is for non commercial use only: you can use it for as many mobiles as you like for yourself or as gifts for friends but please don't make any for sale. Please feel free to blog about this project, but remember to credit me and link back to the original source, and do not reproduce my entire tutorial on your site. Thanks!

Hummer Scores 25, But Northeastern Rallies to Defeat Men's Basketball 67-66
Princeton let an 18-point second-half lead slip away and Northeastern rallied to defeat the Tiger men's basketball team 67-66 Tuesday night at Jadwin Gym.
Ian Hummer tied a career high with 25 points, including 21 before the game was 13 minutes old while scoring all but nine of the team's first 30 points.
The second half, however, was not so kind. Princeton led Northeastern 56-38 with 13 minutes to go, and the Huskies quietly chipped away. A 12-2 Northeastern run over less than four minutes made it an eight-point Princeton lead.
Princeton's advantage was seven points with three minutes to go, but the Huskies shut out the Tigers from there. Northeastern closed the game on an 8-0 run, capping the game with a layup from Reggie Spencer off a dish in the paint from Zach Stahl to take its only lead of the game at 67-66 with 2.5 seconds left to work with for Princeton.
The Tigers had to go the length of the court in that time, but all T.J. Bray could attempt was a half-court desperation try.
Princeton, which opened its season Saturday with a 57-53 win at Buffalo, fell to 1-1 while Northeastern used last-second heroics once again to move to 2-0 after winning its opener 65-64 over Boston University.
Northeastern's Quincy Ford led all scorers with 27 points, 18 of which came in the second half.
The Tigers will have only a couple days to regroup, as Rutgers (1-1) will invade Jadwin Gym for a 7 p.m. tip Friday night.
Postgame notes:
• Hummer's 25 points lifted him into a 12th-place tie on the all-time scoring list with 1,207 career points, even with Steve Goodrich '98.
• It was the third time in his career that Hummer scored 25 points, matching his career best set at Columbia on Feb. 11, 2011, and at Florida State in triple OT on Dec. 30, 2011.
• Northeastern shot 57 percent in each half and finished at 57.5 percent for the game.
• Princeton was much hotter from the field in the first half, going from 58.6 percent before the break to 34.6 percent after.
• Princeton lost despite winning the battle of the boards 26-23. Even with 15 offensive rebounds for Northeastern, the Huskies had only two second-chance points.
• Princeton had defeated Northeastern in each of the last two seasons. Two years ago, Princeton won in a Central Florida-hosted event in Orlando. Last season, Princeton won in Boston.
• Clay Wilson, who had five points all last season on 1-of-8 shooting from beyond the arc, has already put in seven 3-pointers in two games off the bench this season. He was 4 of 10 from the field tonight.

Perhaps one of the most emotionally wrenching Induction ceremonies occured in 2007. Ahmet Ertegun, Chairman and Founding Father of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame had passed away in December 2006 and an emotional Jann Wenner spoke eloquently about his colleague. Aretha Franklin's magnificent voice helped ease pain, as she sang "I Never Loved a Man the Way I Love You," the perfect eulogy for her champion at Altantic Records. The late James Brown's life was also celebrated, with a rousing speech by the Reverend Al Sharpton.
The night was full of emotion and energy as hip-hop pioneers, Grandmaster and the Furious Five, R.E.M., The Ronettes, Patti Smith and Van Halen were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

The Cascade Mountains and Puget Sound are a beautiful and serene place to be in autumn. The mountains, streams, and the sound form a stunning landscape, which combined with the changing colors, and dramatic weather patterns create a mesmerizing place to hike and contemplate life. This book shows a series of fine art photographs created during the fall of 2012. The locations extend along the Cascades from Mt Baker to Mt Rainier and from the eastside to Puget Sound. Fall colors come first to the high mountains and then gradually emerge along the slopes and in the valley. As Mother Nature changes her wardrobe from subtle greens to reds and yellows, we are able to see a completely different landscape. Follow the progression of colors as you visit this landscape and enjoy the tranquil settings. In these fine art photographs, I have tried to capture the wonder and magnificence of this spectacular landscape.

Hey man, I agree with Danny on that one. You are my favorite Hip Hop artist right now and Cudi is like my second favorite artist right now. You and Cudi would be like one of the best collabo's EVER!! I don't mean to be greedy, but I hope we get at least another All City Chess Club track if not a CRS album. If not that's fine, I'm content with Lasers and I can wait until you release F&L 2 or whatever is next. I just hope you have a Lu & Cudi collabo in mind for F&L 2 or whatever project is in the works. You don't have to oversaturate the game like dudes like Wayne. I think it makes your music even more appreciated when you don't drop something new like every single week like some of these guys, who just throw out stuff no matter how bad it might be. -Patient Fan

this saved my life , as stupid or weird as it sounds, it's comforting to know that someone i idolize has gone through what im struggling with now. everywhere i go just remember L.A.S.E.R.S.
Wow Lupe battled with religion just like how do now. I have to admit this gives me hope to get through this.
I can't stop listening to his album. This is honestly one of the best albums I've listened to in a very long time. In my opinion, Lupe is the best artist out there. I'm glad to hear he's doing much better. God is great man. Keep your head up Lupe!
nice view Wasa...lets get the media away from suicide talk, get'em to talk about ALL BLACK EVERYTHING....."constitution written by W.E.B. Debois"....from Va with respect....FNF ^
:) Wow...i love it when we get to see, or in this case hear a different side of people!!! LUPE YOU ROCK (:

Miami Dolphins GM Jeff Ireland outlines his QB criteria
Miami Dolphins General Manager Jeff Ireland just finished shopping for draftable rookies, and pretty soon (we HOPE) he'll begin shopping for free agents.
Just like in past seasons, it appears Ireland plans to have Steve Ross, the team's owner, empty some of what's in his deep pockets on veteran players.
Atop the list of positions the Dolphins are looking for are quarterback and tailback.
During a Finsider interview you can find by clicking this link Ireland outlines the criteria he uses when shopping for the veteran quarterback the team hopes will push – if not unseat – Chad Henne for the starting quarterback position.
"You've got to know what you're going to get," Ireland said, answering Jessie Angler's question about the intangibles he's looking for. "The intangible side of things. You have to know exactly what you're going to get from the person. You can't guess about work ethic. You can't guess about intangibles, competitiveness, intelligence, accountability, dependability. You can't question those things AT ALL! That's how I'd lead the book. The intangible makeup. You have to know exactly what you're getting."
I personally found that comment TELLING because it hints the quarterback my film study – which strictly involved on the field performance - indicates should be the top choice might not be considered.
Vince Young, whom the Titans will likely cut before the 10th day of the league's new year because of a $4 million roster bonus, has a couple of red flags stemming from some mental issues he's endured, and wars he's embarked on with former Titans coach Jeff Fisher.
While Young brings plenty of intangibles to the table, and is clearly competitive, there's evidence he falls short in the "accountability and dependability" department.
In fairness to Young, those are the biggest concerns that surround him while others have age (Donovan McNabb, Matt Hasselbeck and Marc Bulger), production (Kevin Kolb, Matt Flynn, Tavaris Jackson, Matt Leinhart and Brady Quinn), and availability (Carson Palmer and Kyle Orton) issues.
The Dolphins are in a tough spot here because they need somebody, and someone who is more than a body…. someone who can inject life into Brian Daboll's offense, and save everyone's job considering Ross wants the 2011 offense humming.
The Dolphins added plenty of pieces – an interior pulling lineman, a deep threat receiver and a mismatch creating H-back) that will enhance the offense during the draft, but without the right person behind the trigger this offense will continue to sputter.
On Friday I followed the instructions I was given by an NFL coach and told you to select the quarterback who would inject fear into Jets coach Rex Ryan and New England's Bill Belichick.
I recommended the focus of the Dolphins' quarterback search should be designed around the passer who would be the most difficult for the opponent to game plan for? Most of you (about 70 percent) begrudgingly admitted that quarterback was Young, who has a knack for producing big plays with his arm and legs.
Problem is, can the Dolphins count on Young being stable in his next stop (might be Washington)? And what's his motivation?
Is this another avenue where the Dolphins will go the safe route, playing it conservatively, picking up Arizona and Seattle's leftovers?
"Common sense tells you we have free agents, trades & college free agents," Ireland said. "We're looking at all three to [get] a quarterback."
I'll be talking about the Dolphins' quarterback search, and an overview of the 2011 draft this morning during the WQAM (560AM) show I co-host on Saturday's with Adam Kuperstein from 11 a.m.- 2 p.m.
You can listen to the show live by clicking on this link. Hope you'll join us.

The honey and I spent the majority of our free time last week at The Home Depot. We were there so often, people started asking us what aisle the flooring was in and if the 10-82 eye wall socket something would work with the 49.65 drill bit. The checkout lady asked if we recently started working there. To which I responded, "Why? Is there an employee discount?" And the guy in appliances? We got to know him so well I contemplated inviting him and his wife over for dinner.
Like most home-improvement projects, ours took a lot more time (and money) than we anticipated. What started as installing some new cabinets in the mudroom, and reconfiguring it to make more space, somehow required a sledgehammer, tile cutter and $800 worth of new power tools. We were deceived into believing the project would be simple and foolproof. But as late author Douglas Adams once said: "A common mistake that people make when trying to design something completely foolproof is to underestimate the ingenuity of complete fools." Which explains why I can never put together anything from Ikea.
During one of our seemingly 437 trips to The Home Depot, I got painfully bored in the plumbing aisle and started to wander around to distract myself while my boyfriend talked to the guy with an orange apron. (A girl can only hear "Well, this miter saw doubles as a drainage pipe if you buy the 10-24 extension and 8-97 adapter. But get the warranty, because it's only guaranteed until it breaks" so many times.
During my stroll seeking some type of entertainment, I was surprised to come upon such a lively outdoor gardening aisle. Not only were flowers and gardening items already out, but people were actually buying them. And I'm not just talking about shovels and lawn mowers, but tomato plants, peppers and petunias all going into carts. I know it was 60 degrees, but flowers and vegetables? In March? In the mountains?
But the more I questioned these buying decisions, the more I sadly realized these consumers might just be on to something. Mud season is already in full swing, and we've been in full spring since about January 20.
Skiing the last couple weekends has been like trying to maneuver in a strawberry daiquiri. One that had been left sitting poolside for a few too many hours. Hiking isn't much better. My Dalmatian could have been mistaken for chocolate lab after a few minutes on the trail. Again this year, mud season started long before ski season was officially over.
And while it's too soon to call two bad winters in a row a pattern, the fact is, the last two winters have been a bit of a bust. Far too many times I've looked down from my perch on a chairlift and under my skis was a field of brown, not white. It's made me wonder if one day we'll have to change the state's slogan to "Utah, the greatest dirt on Earth."
Most of us live here for the snow. Our local economy and for many of us, our jobs are dependent on the white stuff falling. The survival of the recreational lifestyle we all enjoy here is, to some degree, dependent on the weather. And anyone who doesn't watch Fox News understands that to some degree, the weather is dependent on us. It's undeniable that the planet is warming and it's our fault.
But what can we do? We can't make it snow, or make it colder outside, right?
Well, maybe not with a snap of our fingers. But we can take small steps to make a difference. Like consuming less. Reusing more. Not buying things that come with more packaging than the UPS store. Buying items made locally, taking shorter showers, and using cold water in the washing machine.
And for the naysayers who say, "Why bother with all these little offerings?" Well, I think believing that we shouldn't bother trying to make a difference because our impact will be too small is the biggest lie we tell ourselves. That kind of thinking really upsets me.
Maybe my parents read me the story of the starfish thrower too often as a kid. It was a story about a guy walking down a beach, throwing starfish back into the ocean so they wouldn't die. Someone said to him that there were too many starfish for him to make a difference. The man bent down, picked up another starfish, tossed it into the water and replied, "It made a difference for that one."
The story, of course, encourages us not to be observers and instead take even the smallest action to make a difference. Which is what we all need to do to ensure the lifestyle we all love and enjoy so much doesn't dwindle to a four-week ski season and a 40-week mud season.
But I suppose if it does, at least I'll be ready for it with my new mudroom.

Area's jobless rate edges up to 11.1 percent
Published: Friday, March 22, 2013 at 10:40 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, March 22, 2013 at 10:40 a.m.
Wilmington continues to find itself stuck in the sand, spinning its wheels in an unemployment rut.
Unemployment rates
Wilmington area:
January 2013 – 11.1%
January 2012 – 11%
New Hanover County:
January 2013 – 10.4%
January 2012 – 10.1%
Pender County:
January 2013 – 11.5%
January 2012 – 11.7%
Brunswick County:
January 2013 – 12.2%
January 2012 – 12.5%
Source: N.C. Division of Employment Security
The metro area's jobless rate inched up in January to 11.1 percent compared with 11 percent a year earlier, the N.C. Division of Employment Security reported Friday. The metro area for this report consisted of New Hanover, Pender and Brunswick counties.
In comparison, North Carolina's jobless rate in January was 9.5 percent and the country's, 7.8 percent.
It was not an auspicious start to the new year for Wilmington or the state, but there were some positive signs.
The number of people employed in metro Wilmington rose 2.7 percent – or by 3,600 people – compared with January 2012, the state reported. That was North Carolina's third best showing behind Asheville and Charlotte.
But at the same time the area's labor force – the number of people who have work or are looking for it – also rose, by 4,667, said John Quinterno, principal of South by North Strategies in Chapel Hill.
What it shows is that the number of new job seekers is outstripping businesses' demand for workers, he said. "Demand for labor is still fairly depressed."
Though there were some positive signs in Wilmington's numbers – leisure and hospitality jobs were up 8.1 percent, or 1,500 over the year – "employment conditions are not getting better very fast," said William "Woody" Hall, an economist at the University of North Carolina Wilmington.
In the 14 quarters since the official end of the recession in mid-2009, employment has risen only 3 percent, he said.
In contrast, during the 14 quarters that followed the previous recession, in 2001, jobs rebounded by 20 percent, Hall said.
What's clouding Wilmington's employment picture?
One factor that remains is its hangover from the financial and real estate collapse and the resulting plunge in construction-related jobs, said Allan Freyer, public policy analyst with the Budget and Tax Center of the N.C. Justice Center in Raleigh.
Charlotte also suffered a spiral down of housing values and construction work, but its economy was more diversified, boosting its turnaround, Freyer said. That said, the Queen City's jobless rate was still 10 percent in January.
Another factor: The number of people in Wilmington's labor force is expanding, marked by an influx of people from deeply depressed rural areas, Freyer said.
Wilmington's showing compared with the state's 13 other metro areas worsened in January.
The area, which usually runs in the middle of the pack, had the third-highest jobless rate, behind only Rocky Mount, at 14.1 percent, and Hickory, at 11.5 percent.
Across the state, Graham County had the highest unemployment rate at 20.4 percent while Orange County had the lowest at 6.6 percent.
Just as a reminder of how things once were: Wilmington's jobless rate was 5.3 percent in January 2008, Quinterno said.
"Most labor markets," he said, "are still nowhere they were five years ago."

What state are you in?
I was told that you have to be a resident of the state for 2 years before you can apply for your permit. Does anyone know the requirements on this?
I see nothing in the Indiana Code that requires 2 years residency.
Who told you this? Call your CLEO and ask.
I've never heard of more than 90 days being required from any State (I'm no expert on this). Here in NC its 60 days.

Democratic transition after the Arab Spring - governance as a key factor
Among the challenges facing the Arab world today are authoritarian government, lack of freedom and gender equality, demographic pressures, high unemployment, and limited prospects for a young population.
Over two years after the Arab Spring, most countries in the region are still struggling to build their new state institutions. The major challenge here is to develop institutions and decision-making processes that pay greater attention to the needs of ordinary citizens, in particular those from the most disadvantaged strata of society.
On the occasion of the bilateral consultation between the Belgian Development Cooperation and the UNDP, a panel discussion will be held on 22 May on the topic of "Democratic transition after the Arab Spring and the role of governance as a key factor".
The following experts will take part in the panel discussion:
- Mourad Whaba, Deputy Assistant Administrator and Deputy Director of the UNDP Regional Bureau for the Arab States
- Sami Zemni, Professor of Political and Social Sciences and Coordinator of the Middle East and North Africa Research Group, Ghent University
- Rabab Khairy, National Commission for Development Cooperation (CNCD) - Coordinator for the Middle East and North Africa
- Mia Doornaert, Journalist and former Adviser to the Cabinet of the Belgian Minister for Foreign Affairs

"The question at the time was to connect", is what Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker said when talking about her mighty diptych inspired by the work of Steve Reich: Drumming in 1998 and Rain in 2001. If these two works number amongst the most abstract in the world of choreography, of a truly remarkable sophistication that requires a stage covered in a tangle of graphs for it to be performed, they no less arouse a sense of intense jubilation which arises from the smoothness of the enchaînements and the fluidity of the circuits. It is the exaltation of an uninterrupted dance, seamless, endless, spread from body to body like a flame or a downpour. The twelve Rosas' dancers and the nine Ictus' percussionists are constantly on stage, bathed in a fluorescent orange, reminiscent of embers; they work on the minimalist material for an hour, during which the obsessive beat creates a trance-like state, yet, where the unpredictable variety of possibilities, created through constant repetition, seems to ceaselessly push back the limits of the space.
A long piece in four movements which dissolve one into the other with one tempo, Steve Reich's Drumming uses three different percussion families: bongo drums, marimbas and Glockenspiels – skin, wood and metal. The work was created in New York in 1971 after the composer had spent time in Ghana whilst studying ethnomusicology. As in Ghanaian music, the rhythm in his composition is devised to produce ambiguity: at the end of the repetitions, the ear can no longer distinguish the original beat nor, for that matter, the general beat of the measure. The principal theme of twelve beats (3×4) can be seen as binary or compound and a multitude of strong beats can be grasped: here we are under the influence of floating accentuation. To float, to throb without ever scanning: the whole work had everything to seduce a choreographer who has refused to walk in step with conventional music, preferring to deconstruct the formal forces whilst asking it, as she puts it so well, to "give the dancers a push in the back". We questioned Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker about her approach to this score, which is like nothing else in the history of music.
The most striking aspect of Drumming – I'm talking here about the music itself – is that it holds us spellbound for a whole hour on the basis of a sole rhythmic motif of less than two seconds. Did you look to take up the same challenge in the choreography?
Yes and no. I was, in fact, fascinated by the prowess of Steve Reich and the promise that Drumming represented in choreographic terms: a totally unified framework, which covered the whole length of the show, in which the events are tangled imperceptibly one with the other. However, I couldn't just have reacted by resigning myself to the obsessive display of a few repetitive movements. I was no longer at that stage – I had choreographed Berg and Schoenberg and, above all, I had followed a path towards more sweeping phrasings and I wanted to deal with a large group (in this case: eight women and four men). Nonetheless I did look for a "monothematic" answer, as the musicians would say, by building a long basic phrase, a sequence of nearly two minutes, which served as the sole matrix for the whole show.
The minute the music strikes up, a preoccupation stares you in the face: the powerful play of acceleration and slowing down. Journeys that run out of steam and come to a dead stop and then begin again with dazzling speed.
That's because of my big obsession at the time: the spiral. The basic phrase is cut up into eight motifs of equal length. But I ask the dancers to perform the eight motifs in a space that grows larger, in other words, by following the path of a spiral that opens out. The same length of time but in a bigger and bigger space. There is, therefore, the effect of great haste outwards and, on the contrary, when the phrase is performed in the other direction, a slowing down towards the innermost core.
The floor of the stage covered in marks was typical of your work at the time. At a rough guess, that seemed far more complex than a spiral.
That's true! The graph on the floor is drawn in such a way that we are able to use it for eight different spirals. That gives Drumming this outwardly expressive quality: there are eight vanishing points, eight doors to the outside.
An ever-expanding space...
Yes, but not only that. The movements, very flexible, very jagged, give in other respects an image of the dancers ceaselessly demarcating and reconstructing the space around them. You have to imagine each one of them inside an invisible parallelepiped, marking the space and the corners with their feet, the legs outstretched and the arms held out with the elbows bent. All the action in Drumming is there: outside, around and upwards and without any work at floor level.
After the first movement (just the bongos in the score) and the exploration of the spirals, the marimbas join in. African colour. The dancing becomes tenser: a kind of upbeat towards the trance.
That's it – everything becomes tighter: the phrases stick to short journeys to and fro, like a film that has stalled or a scratch video. The motifs go into a loop and the loops move backwards and forwards. The dancers close in on each other and touch: in order to carry out their phrases they have to, from thereon in, advance, bend, fall on each other – the whole rock 'n' roll, in short! All kinds of techniques have been invented there, in order to do justice to the contrapuntal complexity, which proved very useful in later productions.
After an intermediate movement where the dancing slows down considerably, the finale opens at dizzying speed.
The finale demands great virtuosity from the dancers. From the basic phrase I only keep the fastest and most pared down parts. Then it seems as if the axis dislocates, as if the floor had started turning. The system escapes from itself. Exactly like it does in Reich's music, which is suddenly distorted with high pitch frequencies: it takes off and hurtles towards the climax.

You, Nero
Illustration by Ruth Marten

Directed by Nicholas Martin

Subversive Comedy
As Rome collapses beneath Emperor Nero's outrageous narcissism, a forgotten playwright tries to restore order through the art of theater in this "gloriously funny" (New York Times) farce. Pulitzer Prize finalist Amy Freed's wild romp questions whether well-crafted drama and intellect are any match for decadence and good old-fashioned bloodshed.
"Amy Freed gives zaniness a good name … a silly-savvy lark … a provocative bowl of goofy … The delightfully snide Danny Scheie purrs, simpers, fumes and camps it up grandly."
"If you love broad comedy, there's a lot of it in You, Nero."
"Amy Freed captures all of that weird excess and contradiction in her comedy You, Nero … matched perfectly
by Scheie's giddy characterization."
"[Danny] Scheie is a delightful comedian … couldn't be better."
Nancy Robinette … is matchless throughout …
Jeff McCarthy … deftly creates a real character
in this massive caricature of Rome."
"Scheie is a comic revelation …
a ridiculous evening of effortless laughter."
"Campy romp … Robinette gives a tour-de-force performance."
American Voices
Amy Freed
This year I am working on three projects. One is fully grown, one is in the middle of its development, and one is just starting up.
Going into production at Arena is my play You, Nero – about the Mad Emperor who took over all the arts and made them into reality TV ( in ancient Rome, of course).
The MIDDLE play, for which I have a solid working draft, is about modern design and why it is so cruel to human life. It's about a Mad Architect who keeps designing demonic buildings. (It's called Right to the Top.)
And my BABY play is just starting out – I'll be hearing it out loud for the first time in the upcoming weeks. It is located in a period in American history that launched many experimental and Utopian communities (one called Oneida, in particular, that flourished in late 19th century). THAT one has peace, harmony, beauty, vegetarians, and artisan craftsmanship. The leader is a Mad Preacher who ends up destroying the wonderful dream he created.
As I write this, I cannot avoid a sense that there is a recurring theme. My central preoccupation as a writer is my view that the fateful trouble for humankind lies in the fact that our best and worst traits coexist in such close proximity. The only problem with human beings is human nature.

Widespread Adoption of Biomarkers Has Been...
To Conduct Cellular Censuses Sequence Deeply...
Three-Dimensional Cell Culture Has Two Dimensions,...
Scientific Misconduct Is Jeopardizing the Quality...
EMA granted Pfizer approval to market Xiapex® (collagenase clostridium histolyticum) for the treatment of Dupuytren contracture. The treatment is expected to be available for use in some European markets later this year.
Pfizer holds rights to market Xiapex for Dupuytren contracture and Peyronie disease in the EU and 19 other European and Eurasian countries under a sublicense from Auxilium Pharmaceuticals. Auxilium markets the injectable treatment in the U.S. for Dupuytren contracture under the trade name Xiaflex and is conducting Phase III trials in Peyronie disease. The therapy was originally developed by Auxilium and BioSpecific Technologies under a collaboration to develop collagenase clostridium histolyticum, a combination of two purified collagenases derived from the bacterium Clostridium histolyticum.
Under the agreement between Pfizer and Auxilium, BioSpecifics receives 8.5% of any milestone payments received by Auxilium from Pfizer in addition to milestone payments under a separate arrangement with Auxilium. BioSpecifics will receive its first milestone fee from Auxilium based on the first commercial sale in the U.K., France, Germany, and Spain.
BioSpecifics will also continue to receive low double-digit royalties on sales, independent of indication, territory, sales volume, and whether Auxilium or Pfizer sells the product. In addition, BioSpecifics will receive a markup on the cost of goods sold.
Xiaflex was approved in the U.S. for Dupuytren contracture in February 2010 and launched a month later. Auxilium reported worldwide revenues for Xiaflex was $18.4 million for the year ending December 31, 2010, versus $3.6 million in 2009. Most of the increase reflected the March 2010 launch of Xiaflex in the U.S., where the treatment generated $14.1 million in sales last year, representing approximately 4,500 vials.
