(Video bonus) Zach Thomas to retire as a Miami Dolphin
When Zach Thomas ripped his former organization last month for the way it handled his brother-in-law Jason Taylor, it appeared the gap between the Miami Dolphins and one of their greatest defensive players would never be bridged.
Now, however, it looks like the Dolphins are going to do the right thing.
The team has called a 4 p.m. news conference today, and a source said it is to sign Thomas to a one-day contract so that he may retire as a Dolphin.
After spending 12 seasons (1996-2007) as the heartbeat of the Dolphins' defense, this only seems right. Here's hoping the Dolphins take the next step and retire his number 54 and put his name on the Honor Roll at Sun Life Stadium.
A minor uproar was sparked in late April when the Dolphins briefly assigned No. 54 to their fourth-round draft pick A.J. Edds, an inside linebacker from Iowa. After Dolphins fans blew up the message boards on this and other team-related blogs, Edds went back to No. 49 by the time rookie minicamp started later in the week.
When I asked Thomas, a seven-time Pro Bowl selection and three-time winner of the Don Shula Leadership Award, about the number uproar on Sunday night at Taylor's charity dinner, Thomas was typically gracious about it.
"I'm for all of that," he said of someone like Edds wearing his number. "A.J., I've heard , is a great player, works hard. I'd be honored for him to wear that. The whole number thing, I'm not really caught up in all that.
"He's supposed to be a great player that works hard. Why not? I don't understand what the whole uproar was about. I'm cheering for him. I think he got his old college number. I'd like to talk to him. Maybe at camp or something, I could come around."
And the future of Thomas' famous number?
"Anybody that wants 54, that's fine," he said.
Do you agree? Or should No. 54 be retired?
Or at least held open unofficially for perpetuity, seeing as the Dolphins have only retired three jerseys (Bob Griese's No. 12, Dan Marino's No. 13 and Larry Csonka's No. 39) in their long, illustrious history?

WASHINGTON STATE vs. No. 2 OREGON
7 p.m., Saturday, Oct. 19
Autzen Stadium (54,000)
Eugene, Ore.
WSU HITS THE ROAD FOR MATCHUP AGAINST NO. 2 OREGON: Washington State heads to Eugene for a Pac-12 Conference contest against second-ranked Oregon Saturday at 7 p.m. on FOX Sports 1.
NEXT WEEK: Washington State has a bye next week and will host Arizona State Thursday, Oct. 31 at 7:30 p.m. on ESPN.
MIKE LEACH RADIO SHOW: Washington State Head Coach Mike Leach holds a weekly radio show on WSU's flagship station 920 KXLY on Thursdays from 6-7 p.m. live from Zeppoz in Pullman.
BOB ROBERTSON, NATION'S LONGEST TENURED RADIO ANNOUNCER: Hall of fame announcer Bob Robertson is in his 47th season calling Cougar football games, and according to a nation-wide survey of sports information directors, is the longest tenured radio announcer in the country with the next closest being Bill Hillgrove who has announced 44 straight seasons at Pitt. Robertson began calling WSU games in 1964 and with the exception of a three-year period in 1969-71, has been calling Cougar games ever since. This season, Robertson will slide over from his familiar play-by-play role and pass the microphone to Bud Nameck. Robertson will host the Cougars pre, halftime and postgame shows, while also providing analysis during the games.
COLLEGE GAMEDAY RECORD: In addition to Chris Fowler, Kirk Herbstreit and Lee Corso, ESPN's College GameDay has had another constant – the WSU flag, which this weekend will be making its 140th consecutive appearance on the weekly show, dating back to the beginning of the 2004 season. Two flags – Ol' Crimson and Gray – have been flown in the background of the GameDay set by dozens of friends and alumni. The Gray flag was added this year after Whitey was retired in honor of Steve Gleason's "No White Flags." WSU recognized the GameDay flag wavers in a pregame ceremony prior to the Montana State game in 2010. In addition to the flags that fly, there is a traveling flag signed by the holders after each episode. The traveling flag is retired after each season, the first of which is hanging in WSU's Alumni Center.

WSU-OREGON SERIES: Washington State enters Saturday's meeting at Oregon trailing the all-time series 45-38-7 after dropping the last six matchups. The Cougars last win in the series came in 2006, 34-23 in Pullman over the 16th-ranked Ducks. WSU's last win in Eugene came in 2003, 55-16 over No. 10 Oregon.
WSU AGAINST RANKED TEAMS: The Cougars last win over a top-5 ranked team was in the 2003 Holiday Bowl, beating No. 5 Texas 28-20. Earlier this season, WSU knocked off No. 25 USC in Los Angeles.
COUGAR OFFENSE TAKING OFF: The Washington State offense enters the week with eighth-best passing offense in the country at 346.8 ypg with quarterback Connor Halliday owning the third-most yards in the nation (2,241) and averaging the tenth-most passing yards per game at 320.1. The Cougars own eight rushing touchdowns, already more than last season's total of six. WSU has had 10 receivers catch a pass in each of the last five games and have had 10+ players catch a pass six times.
BUCANNON CLIMBING WSU RECORD BOOK: Senior Deone Bucannon has seen his name continue to climb up the WSU record book this season. He enters the week leading the Pac-12 with 64 tackles after making a team-leading 14 tackles (12 solo) at Auburn, eight tackle performances in the wins at USC and over Southern Utah, a game-high nine tackles against Stanford and 12 in the win at California. The Fairfield, Calif. native enters the week tied for fifth in WSU history for career tackles (334) and fourth in career solo tackles (231). Bucannon picked off a pass in four straight weeks this season and sits tied for fourth in school history with 13 career interceptions. He also owns 14 career double-digit tackle performances.
FURNEY DOING HIS THING: Kicker Andrew Furney has picked up where he left off from last season, hitting from 44 yards at Auburn, kicking the game-winner from 41 yards out with 3:03 remaining at USC and connecting on three attempts at Cal. His career total sits at 40, good for fourth place for the most makes in program history. He enters the week second in WSU history for career field goal percentage at .769 (40-52), percentage points behind Drew Dunning's top mark of .773 (68-88). Furney earned All-Pac-12 second team honors after going 14-for-20 on field goal attempts, tied for second in the conference. The Burlington, Wash. native was a perfect 7-for-7 on attempts inside 30 yards and 6-of-10 on kicks outside of 40 yards including a conference-best 60-yarder against Eastern Washington. Furney capped his season by going 3-for-3 in the Apple Cup victory, kicking a game-tying 45-yarder with 1:59 remaining and later hitting the game-winner from 27-yards in overtime.
HALLIDAY AT IT AGAIN: Quarterback Connor Halliday has continued to put his name throughout the WSU record book after tallying three 300-yard games and two four-touchdown games through the first half of the season. The Spokane native opened 2013 by going 35-of-65 for 344 yards at Auburn, the third-most pass attempts in WSU single-game history trailing only Drew Bledsoe's 66 against Montana in 1992. Against Southern Utah, Halliday threw for 383 yards and five touchdowns and followed with a 346-yard four touchdown performance against Idaho. He erupted for 521 yards and added three touchdown throws in the win at Cal. He owns nine career 300-yard performances, third-most in school history, trailing the school record of 12 shared by Alex Brink and Ryan Leaf. Halliday also owns three 400-yard games, one 500-yard game and six career four-touchdown performances. He notched his first career five-touchdown game against UCLA last season and following the SUU game, joins Alex Brink as the only Cougar QB's with multiple five-TD games. Halliday owns 38 career touchdown passes, good for seventh all time WSU history. He enters the week third in the country in passing yards (2,241) and 10th in yards-per-game (320.1)
INSIDE HALLIDAY'S 500-YARD DAY: Connor Halliday's 521-passing yard performance in the win at California was the most yards thrown for in a game by any FBS quarterback in the country this season. The mark was the fifth-highest total in Pac-12 history and the most since WSU's Alex Brink threw for a school-record 531 yards at Oregon State in 2005. Halliday finished the day 41-of-67, the second-most completions in school history and the most pass attempts in WSU history. The 44 points are the most points scored by WSU in a conference game since beating Oregon 55-10 in Eugene in 2003. The Cougars claimed their first win over Cal since 2002 (in Berkeley), snapping an eight-game skid.
GABE MARKS ADDED TO BILETNIKOFF AWARD WATCH LIST: Sophomore wide receiver Gabe Marks was one of six receivers added to The Biletnikoff Award Watch List last week. Marks enters Saturday's game at Oregon second in the Pac-12 Conference with 46 receptions, seventh with 478 receiving yards and second on the team lead with four touchdown catches. The Los Angeles native has led the Cougars in catches in five of the seven contests and posted the best game of his young career against Idaho, recording career highs of 11 receptions for 146 yards and two touchdowns in the win. As a freshman last season, Marks was second on the team in receiving yards (560) and third in catches (49) to go along with two touchdowns. The award recipient is selected by the Biletnikoff Award National Selection Committee, a group of over 215 prominent college football journalists, commentators, and former receivers. The fan vote counts as one additional vote. Fans may vote daily on FanVote at http://www.biletnikoffaward.com/fan-vote?DB_OEM_ID=30400.
WSU DEFENSE SETTING THE TONE: The Cougars defense has posted some impressive numbers through the first half of the season. WSU held Auburn to 99 yards passing and 4-of-13 on third down, limited No. 25 USC to 54 yards passing, 193 yards in total offense and All-American wideout Marqise Lee to 51 all-purpose yards. The Cougar defense did not stop once returning to Martin Stadium, holding Southern Utah to 219 yards in total offense and Idaho to 253, the first time WSU held three straight opponents under 260 yards in total offense since the last two games of the 1994 season and the 1995 season opener. WSU enters the week seventh in the country in red zone defense (66.7) and No. 33 in third down defense (34.9). The Cougars are tied for the Pac-12 lead with 16 turnovers forced including 11 interceptions, sixth-most in the country.
COUGARS POST FIRST SHUTOUT SINCE 2003: Washington State's 42-0 win over Idaho in week four gave the Cougars their first shutout since 2003 (Idaho, 25-0 in Seattle) and the first home shutout since 1999 (Louisiana-Lafayette, 44-0). The defense tallied 14 tackles-for-loss, the most since making 14 against Arizona State in 2007, and a season-high five sacks, the most since recording six against Colorado last season.
LINEBACKERS: The Cougar's 3-4 defense has seen its linebackers fill up the stat sheet through the first four weeks. Linebackers Cyrus Coen and Darryl Monroe are tied for the second most tackles on the team with 45 and Justin Sagote has tallied 40. Coen and Monroe both currently rank among the Pac-12's top-10 tackle leaders. All three have registered a double digit tackle performance this season with Sagote making 10 stops at USC, Coen tallying 10 against Southern Utah and Monroe setting a career high with 12 tackles against Idaho. WSU's linebackers have combined for 17.5 tackles for loss including six sacks.
OFFENSIVE LINE TAKING STRIDES: Washington State showcased its improved running game in the season opener at Auburn, rushing for 120 yards and two touchdowns, its highest rushing total since posting 125 rushing yards at Oregon in 2011. Sophomore Teondray Caldwell led the way with seven carries for 57 yards, junior Marcus Mason added 47 yards on six carries and redshirt-sophomore Jeremiah Laufasa rushed for two scores. Against Southern Utah, the o-line hit another mark, not allowing a sack for the first time since against Utah in 2011. In week four, Laufasa rushed for two more touchdowns. WSU rushed for two more scores in the win at Cal and two more against Oregon State. The Cougars now own eight rushing scores and have rushed for 465 yards through seven games in 2013 after posting 349 yards and six scores in 12 games last season.
YOUTH MOVEMENT CONTINUES: The Cougars have continued their youth movement this season after seeing 17 freshmen, including nine true freshmen, appear in a game in 2012. Overall, WSU had 20 players make their first career start last season including five freshmen. Through seven games this season WSU has seen five true freshman and five redshirt-freshmen make their collegiate debuts. In the season-opener at Auburn, WSU started true freshman wideout River Cracraft (3-catches for 14 yards) and also saw freshman cornerback Daquawn Brown tally four tackles, including one for loss against the Tigers. A week later, Brown made his first collegiate start at No. 25 USC and answered the call with a game-high 11 tackles and two pass break-ups while helping hold the Trojans' Marqise Lee to 27 receiving yards. Brown recorded his first career interception in week three against Southern Utah before picking off his second pass at California. Cracraft posted his best game of the season against SUU, catching six passes for 87 yards. True freshman wideout John Thompson caught two passes for six yards in his collegiate debut against No. 5 Stanford. The Cougars have started eight sophomores in each of the first six games, four on each side of the ball.
SPECIAL TEAMS AMONG NCAA, PAC-12 LEADERS: The Cougars kickoff and punt return teams saw improvement last season and both have continued the trend through the first seven weeks in 2013. Last season, Teondray Caldwell earned All-Pac-12 honorable mention as a kick returner after finishing third in the conference with a 25.0 kick return average. This season, the kickoff return team enters the week fourth in the Pac-12 averaging 21.7 per return led by Caldwell's 25.7. Already in his career, Caldwell owns kick returns of 63 yards at BYU and 92 yards No. 2 Oregon. For the punt return team, last year it nearly doubled the 2011 return average and improved its national ranking by 30 spots with a 6.8 return average. So far this season, the punt return team ranks fourth in the Pac-12 with an average of 11.0, all by Leon Brooks who already owns returns for 22 yards (Southern Utah), a career-best 51-yarder against Idaho and a 26-yarder against Oregon State. The special teams unit picked up another tally this past week, blocking its first punt (Theron West) since the 2007 season.
COUGARS KNOCK OFF NO. 25 USC: Washington State's 10-7 win at No. 25 USC week two was its first victory over the Trojans since 2002 and first win over USC in Los Angeles since 2000. The victory was also the first win over a ranked team since beating No. 16 Oregon 34-23 in Pullman in 2006 and the first win over a ranked opponent on the road since beating No. 10 Oregon 55-13 in 2003.
HORTON'S HOT STREAK: Senior cornerback Damante Horton recorded his seventh career interception and returned an INT for a touchdown two straight weeks earlier this season, doing so against USC and against Southern Utah. The Oakland, Calif. native owns three career interception returns for touchdowns, tying him for most in WSU history with Jason David. Horton was named the Pac-12 Conference Defensive Player of the Week following his two-interception performance in the win at No. 25 USC. Horton led a spirited defensive effort by the Cougars in their 10-7 upset win in Los Angeles. Trailing 7-0 late in the first half, Horton picked off a Cody Kessler pass and raced 70 yards for the touchdown. It marked Horton's second career interception return for a touchdown, the first coming at Oregon in 2011. Horton then sealed the victory by stepping in front of a Max Wittek pass with less than three minutes remaining in the game, ending the USC comeback attempt. Horton led the WSU secondary that held All-American receiver Marquis Lee to seven catches for only 27 yards. Horton was also named the Jim Thorpe Defensive Back of the Week, National Defensive Player of the Week by Athlon Sports and National Defensive Back of the Week by the College Football Performance Awards. Horton added his eighth career interception last week.
BOWLIN BLASTS AWAY: Kicker Mike Bowlin provided a big boost to the WSU kicking game in 2012 and has continued to do so through the first six weeks of 2013. Bowlin has recorded 13 touchbacks on kickoffs, six coming against Southern Utah, and already has put 12 punts inside the 20 and tallied three 50+ punts. Last season, his first at WSU, Bowlin's 18 touchbacks on kickoffs were the most since Graham Siderius' 18 in 2005. He also recorded 14 punts of 50+ yards and put eight punts inside the 20.
COUGARS OPEN 2014 HOSTING RUTGERS IN SEATTLE: WSU's 2014 season-opener against Rutgers University has been moved up to Thursday, August 28. The game will be played at CenturyLink Field in Seattle. The game was previously scheduled for Friday, August 29. Rutgers begins play in the Big Ten Conference next season. The Cougars will make the return the trip to face the Scarlet Knights in Piscataway, N.J. Saturday, Sept. 12, 2015.
WILSON, YOST JOIN COUGAR COACHING STAFF: The 2013 Washington State coaching staff owns a pair of new faces in linebackers coach Ken Wilson and inside wide receivers coach David Yost. Wilson comes to WSU after spending the past 20-plus seasons at the University of Nevada. Yost joins Mike Leach's offensive staff after working on Gary Pinkel's University of Missouri staff as the recruiting coordinator and quarterbacks coach the past 12 seasons, including the Tigers inaugural season in the SEC in 2012.
BUCANNON GARNERS PRESEASON ACCOLADES: Deone Bucannon was named to the Jim Thorpe Award 2013 watch list, the Oklahoma Sports Hall of Fame and Jim Thorpe Association announced in July. Bucannon is one of 48 players included on the watch list for the award that honors the nation's best defensive back. The Fairfield, Calif. native was an All-Pac-12 second team selection last season after making a team-high 106 tackles, tied for second-most in the Pac-12 and was the highest total by any non-linebacker. Bucannon also made a team-best four interceptions including a two-interception performance against Oregon. Bucannon posted seven double-digit tackle performances including a 17-tackle game at Arizona State. Priot to the season, Bucannon was named to the Preseason All-Pac-12 Second Team by both Athlon Sports and Phil Steel Magazine and was also named to the Preseason All-America Fourth Team by Athlon Sports.
BOWLIN, FURNEY NAMED TO PRESEASON AWARD WATCH LISTS: Senior punter Mike Bowlin and senior kicker Andrew Furney were each named to preseason award watch lists this summer. Bowlin is one of 25 candidates named to the Ray Guy Award preseason watch list that honors the nation's top collegiate punter. Bowlin averaged 41.9 yards-per-punt last season, his first with the Cougars. The Aliso Viejo, Calif. native put eight punts inside the 20, recorded 14 kicks of 50+ yards including a season long of 69. Bowlin also recorded 18 touchbacks on kickoffs, the most by a Cougar since 2005. For the second straight season, Furney is one of the 30 players named to the Lou Groza College Place-Kicker Award Watch List. Furney, a Groza Award semifinalist in 2011, earned second team All-Pac-12 accolades along with Phil Steele Midseason second team All-American honors last season after going 14-for-20 on field goal attempts. The Burlington, Wash. native was a perfect 7-for-7 on attempts inside 30 yards and 6-of-10 on kicks outside of 40 yards including a conference-best 60-yarder against Eastern Washington. Furney went 25-of-26 on PATs.

Men's Volleyball Hosts No. 10 Penn State To Open Crucial EIVA Weekend
LIVE VIDEO l LIVE STATS l EIVA STANDINGS
(The Princeton information central page is your one-stop home for information on both the current and past Tiger squads; it includes historical information, links for social media, and key University sites for all interested recruits.)
Two years ago, the Tigers saw eight match balls in a five-set thriller. Last year, more than 900 people packed Dillon Gym for a four-set showdown. This year, Princeton wants one thing more than anything else as it resumes it rivalry with the 10th-ranked Penn State Nittany Lions — a victory.
The Princeton men's volleyball team (3-6, 2-1 EIVA) will host both No. 10 Penn State (12-2, 5-0) and Saint Francis (8-5, 3-2) in a pair of 7 pm league matches this weekend. The Tigers will open weekend play Friday night at 7 pm against the Nittany Lions, and they will follow with the Red Flash Saturday night. Both matches will be held in Dillon Gym.
Though recent history has included some of the most exciting matches in the history of the series, the Tigers will enter Friday night having lost 35 straight matches to the Nittany Lions. Penn State has won all six matches over the last two years, including a pair of 3-0 wins in the EIVA semifinals. The Tigers have taken at least one set in each of the last two home matches, both of which have come in front of capacity crowds at Dillon.
"We are very excited for the match on Friday," head coach Sam Shweisky said. "The support we have felt from the Princeton campus, student body, athletic administration, and University administration has been outstanding in preparation for this event. In addition, the excitement from the surrounding volleyball community can be felt on our numerous social media outlets. The anticipation for the match is palpable and continues to build as we approach Friday night. We encourage all spectators to arrive early as we may reach standing room only as we did last year."
Princeton enters the weekend with a bit of momentum developing from its last two wins, including a 3-0 league win over Rutgers-Newark Tuesday night. Junior Cody Kessel, a former EIVA Newcomer of the Year, has played some of his best volleyball of late, and he currently ranks second in the EIVA in both kills (3.5) and points (4.1) per set.
Senior Pat Schwagler isn't far off the pace either; his 4.0 points per set rank third-best in the league, while his 3.1 kills are sixth-best.
Friday's matchup will feature the top four point scorers in the league, as Penn State has both the No. 1 (Aaron Russell, 4.6) and No. 4 (Nick Goodell, 3.8) scorers; that duo combined for more than half of Penn State's total points in a 3-1 win at Princeton last year.
While Friday night could draw the biggest crowd to Dillon Gym this season, Saturday's matchup could be just as important — if not more — in the greater scheme of things. Saint Francis has only lost to Penn State and Harvard, and it could be a prime challenger to a top-three position in the final league standings. Since 1998, when Princeton knocked off Penn State en route to its only EIVA title, the Tigers have only made one final (2010); that year, the Tigers got into the top three and didn't play Penn State during the semifinals.
Saint Francis may not have individuals in the top five, but its collective offense ranks third in the EIVA in both kills and points. The Red Flash opened the season with a victory over Ball State,which is currently ranked 14th nationally.

Everyone's a star here. Okay, I'm exaggerating.
A lot.
But ChefDance, the temporary high-ticket restaurant organized every year during the Sundance Film Festival by Kenny Griswold, can seem a little alarming until you get into the swing of it. That's about the second glass of wine (last night, from Rosenthal, a boutique winery in Malibu ), unless you started sipping in the limo on the way. Which we did.
So our party took the scene in stride-the decibel level, the loooooong meal, the Stella Artois girls getting their pictures taken with guests (well, they're cuter than the Clydesdales, as living logos go),
the whole shebang.
Downstairs at Harry-O's is where the action happens, in a kind of frontline dining room-cum-kitchen triaged out of the basement. Long tables lit by candles and set with white linens contrast with cellar walls to create a kind of bunker elegance.
Chefs fly in from all over the country to cook at this event, but last night, Utah's own took over the kitchen. As winners of Nicholas & Co.'s Ultimate Chef Competition earlier this year, Billy Sotelo and Jared Young
of LaSalle Restaurant Group (Oasis, Faustina, etc.) were the night's chefs, backed by Chef Alan and Chef Nook from Nicholas and a team of helpers from area culinary schools. I slipped back into the kitchen ahead of time to check on the campaign.
How long had the top toques been prepping for this night?
"A couple of weeks," admitted Billy. The darling coiled crisped potato cups were done ahead, regiments of fanned and saffroned Seckel pears were waiting on baking sheets, tiny brioche were waiting their turn in the oven. Sixty pounds of foie gras (special-ordered by Nicholas who provides all the groceries for all the ChefDance chefs) had been sliced, and I personally delivered the bottle of saba that restaurant owner Joel LaSalle had hand-carried up in the limo.
But, as Chef Nook pointed out, a catering job like this takes weeks of militararily precise planning and a whole lot of last minute, on-the-fly improvising.
Few things are more difficult to pull off than a formal seated five-course dinner for 250 guests in an improvised space. That is why I'm not in the catering business anymore.
And Sotelo and Young didn't make it easy on themselves - take a look at the menu:
Amuse Bouche: Saffron poached pear on toasted brioche, crispy prosciutto, triple cream cheese
Appetizer: Shrimp tower potato cylinder, cauliflower puree, sherry wine sauce
Second Course: Rabbit tenderloin, butternut squash, kale, pine nuts
Third Course: Beef Wellington, foie gras, asparagus, port wine sauce
Dessert: Lime pie parfait
The appetizer and the second course were the stars of the meal-somehow, the chefs managed it so the shrimp was perfectly cooked-sweet, juicy, firm and tender-which would have been tricky to manage for a table of six, much less 250. The rabbit (sourced locally), little finger-thick loins, was brilliantly set off by the plebian veg, the sweet squash given some Middle Eastern mystique with the pungent pine nuts.
Afterwards, even though we didn't finish eating until maybe midnight, on to the House of Blues Foundation Room until 2.
Because-evidently-you can't party enough during Sundance. Thank god it only happens once a year.

|Idaho outlasts NMSU
MOSCOW, Idaho - In their final home meet of the season, the University of Idaho Vandals didn't miss a beat after a six-week break as they defeated Western Athletic Conference opponent New Mexico State, 154-144, Friday night.
Coach Mark Sowa said winning the 200 medley at the beginning of the meet proved to be key for the team.
"We knew to have a chance we had to win one of the relays," Sowa said "We were going to take a shot at the 400 relay at the end because the 200 is their best relay but to come out of the gates and win that was tremendous."
Rachel Millet had three individual wins, 50 free (23.66), 200 free (1:52.37) and the 200 backstroke (2:00.75) and anchored the 400 free relay. Diver Paige Hunt won both events and Jamie Sterbis' 200 butterfly (2:03.28), Janelle Stacy's 100 butterfly (57.58) and the 400 freestyle relay (3:30.10) also added first-place finishes.
"We always talk about wins, but a couple of the races we didn't win were great races too," Sowa said
Kelsie Saxe swam her best 100 and 200 breaststrokes of the season.
"Our motto right now is to take it one day, one race and one practice at a time, we try not to get too far ahead of ourselves," Sowa said.
This motto proved to be true Friday night as New Mexico State's two 400 freestyle relay teams were disqualified from the race, which prevented a tied and gave the Vandals the victory outright.

Fire Challenge, where teens set themselves on fire and shoot video, spreads online
OVERLAND PARK, Kan. - A dangerous dare that could end up in your child's social media feed is spreading online.
Young people are setting themselves on fire and taking videos of what happens next.
The hashtag, #firechallenge, is all over social media like Instagram and Twitter with disturbing videos of people on fire.
In the spirit of the challenge, people will douse themselves in accelerants like rubbing alcohol, fingernail polish remover or hand sanitizer and then ignite it.
"It's life altering," Stan McDonald with the Overland Park Fire Department said.
To show how dangerous it is, McDonald imitated the scenario with 41 Action News Thursday.
Pouring 40 percent alcohol hand sanitizer on a t-shirt, he then lit it with a hand held lighter.
"And as it lights off," he said, "It spreads very fast. Instantly we are at 450 degrees."
If that were your skin, it would be exposed to up to 600 degrees. The longer the skin and clothes are lit, the worse the burns can be, even leading to third degree burns in some cases. It can also burn the inside of the body.
"If they light themselves on fire and they look down and inhale these flames, they are not just going to burn the surface of their body. They are going to suck those flames in their mouth and down their lungs," McDonald said.
These teens are trying to be near a water source to extinguish the flames, but that will not prevent injury.
"It is dangerous," Dr. Austin Lehr at the Research Medical Center Burn Center in Overland Park said. He is a surgeon and treats burn victims on a daily basis. He warns this craze can cause long term effects and could lead to multiple surgeries.
"Second and third degree burns require surgical removal of those dead layers of skin that are hurt by the burns and this is followed with skin grafting," Lehr said.
Doctors said this could be a sign of emotional issues and advise parents to talk to their kids and know what they are seeing or doing on-line.

The Yellow Jackets took the field on Saturday afternoon for their last tune up scrimmage before they travel to Helena, Montana to play Carroll College. "We wanted to start out really basic on offense to minimize mistakes. The execution was good and we had no penalties," according to Coach Scott.
Offensively the Yellow Jackets got into a groove as the scrimmage went on and the staff started to throw more things into the mix. The offense was really working on being consistent throughout the scrimmage. "We need to be able to run plays and not make a series of mistakes," said Coach Scott. The running backs looked like they are showing promise by making plays in the open field. The offensive line is a young group but all return with experience. Overall the offense showed promise as they will enter there final week of preparation for Carroll College.
"Our special teams group is really showing some good things under new assitant coach Ryan Gatch who came over from Minot State University. We have guys still fighting for spots and learning new schemes," said Coach Scott.
Defensively the Yellow Jackets are still looking to improve going into their final week of practice before Saturday. "With 8 returnees from a year ago we still need to improve on executing schemes, and getting everybody on the same page. All of the mistakes that were made can be corrected," according to Coach Scott. The defense did show signs of where they were at the end of last season but are still looking to improve.
Injury Report:
Only nagging injuries as the Yellow Jackets will have a full strength roster going into Carroll College.
Held Out:
Matt Frankenfield, Brandin Santi, Wacey Coleman, and Darrel Neiman were all held out of the scrimmage on Saturday to rest a few nagging injuries so they are healthy for this weekend.

Welcome to the Clemson Equine Extension website. The purpose of this website is to provide research-based information to South Carolina's many horse owners. South Carolina's horse industry is continuing to experience unmatched growth as horse owners from all over the country discover the beauty and quality of living in our state. From the polo fields and steeplechase in Aiken, to the many thoroughbreds in training in Camden, to include many horse enthusiasts in the upstate and Clemson's very own Garrison Arena which hosts many horse activities on any given weekend. South Carolina's citizens are experiencing an improved quality of life that horse ownership provides.
The last equine census in 2003 estimated that there were 84,300 horses within the state of South Carolina. Nationally, the American Horse Council in 2005 estimated there were over 9.2 million horses in the United States. The economic impact of the horse industry within South Carolina is over $1 billion dollars annually, whereas the American Horse Council places the national impact of the horse industry over $100 billion annually. We continue to see growth within the horse industry as more Americans discover the benefits of horse ownership.
Clemson extension is dedicated to providing horse owners with the latest research-based information through adult educational programs and 4-H youth activities. In addition, three faculty members within the Department of Animal and Veterinary Sciences are dedicated to education, research and service activities to the state of South Carolina and our many students. The Clemson University Horse Center supports these activities with over 90 head of horses on over 60 acres near Garrison Arena.

Deeplinks Blog posts about File Sharing
The House Judiciary Committee will meet today for a hearing on the controversial Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA). What could have been an opportunity for the committee to hear from a variety of stakeholders has devolved into a parade of pro-SOPA partisans. Scheduled to testify are representatives from the Register of Copyrights, Pfizer Global Security, the Motion Picture Association of America, the AFL-CIO, and Mastercard Worldwide—many of which helped to draft this legislation in the first place, and didn't let anyone else into the room. The only scheduled witness in opposition to the bill is Katherine Oyama, policy counsel on copyright and trademark law for Google.
Whether you support or oppose the bill, there's no question that it will affect a broad range of activities, which is one reason we've seen an extraordinary outcry of opposition since the bill was introduced.
In keeping with a growing trend, this week Federal Judge Bernard Zimmerman of the Northern District of California severed 5,010 Doe Defendants from a single case—effectively dismissing all but one defendant. EFF participated in the case as amicus.
This case, like many we've seen around the country, involved a pornographic work. Plaintiff sued more than 5,000 individuals anonymously based only on their ISP addresses, for allegedly exchanging an infringing file over a BitTorrent network. The copyright owner claimed that participation in BitTorrent "swarm" was a form of conspiracy, meaning it could sue everyone at once in California.
In the latest development in the first individual file-sharing case to go to trial (three times now!), Judge Michael Davis today reduced a $1.5 million damage award against the defendant Jammie Thomas-Rassett to just $54,000. Though he said he was reluctant to interfere with the jury's decision, the judge concluded that
[A]n award of $1.5 million for stealing and distributing 24 songs for personal use is appalling. Such an award is so severe and oppressive as to be wholly disproportioned to the offense and obviously unreasonable. In this particular case, involving a first‑time willful, consumer infringer of limited means who committed illegal song file‑sharing for her own personal use, an award of $2,250 per song, for a total award of $54,000, is the maximum award consistent with due process.
Spotify's U.S. Launch Highlights the Good, the Bad, and the Promise of Subscription-Based Music Services
In its ongoing battle against music piracy, the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) is backing a bill in the California legislature, SB 550, which permits the police to disregard the Fourth Amendment. SB 550 would allow law enforcement to search without a warrant any CD, DVD, Blu-Ray or other "optical disc" manufacturer to ensure the discs they are producing carry legally required identification marks. SB 550 easily passed in the Senate yesterday and is now headed to the State Assembly.

Mayor Williams Invites Everyone to Attend Caroling on the Square
Posted on 12/05/2013 11:08 am
Mayor Dennis P. Williams invites everyone to attend Caroling on the Square in Downtown Wilmington, on Tuesday, December 10th at 6:30p.m. to enjoy a festive evening singing and fellowshipping during Wilmington's official tree lighting ceremony in Rodney Square.
Caroling on the Square is an annual fixture in the City's holiday season, but this year, attendees will carol by candlelight through Downtown Wilmington.
Carolers will begin at the newly renovated Peter Spencer Plaza, and then participants will walk and carol together to The Grand Opera House. Led by various choirs everyone will precede to carol together to Rodney Square for the official tree lighting ceremony.
"Caroling on the Square is a staple in the City of Wilmington that brings people downtown, so they come together and celebrate the holiday season," said Mayor Williams. "Traditionally, carolers walked from house to house singing Christmas songs. This will be a great way to bring some of the caroling tradition to the City."
Caroling on the Square will be led by the Wilmington Children's Chorus, the Canaan Baptist Choir and Luz y Verdad. Santa Claus will be the featured guest during the Christmas tree lighting ceremony. Children attending Caroling on the Square are encouraged to write a letter to Santa and have it collected by Santa's helpers during the event. Attendees will also receive complimentary hot chocolate and candy canes.

So what happened to Alexi Grewal
Submitted by Kris Thompson on
Photo Credit: 303Photo
Last year we witnessed a partial comeback of Alexi Grewal in Colorado but something happened, the season went on and he fell off of the radar. VeloNews caught up with Alexi and did an in-depth interview with the former American Gold-medalist cyclist and found out what happened. Read it all at VeloNews
"But that race would be Grewal's last. "On the way home from Durango, after I caught a ride to Denver, I was driving a car that was not registered," he says. "I got stopped on the interstate and I didn't have a valid plate, didn't have insurance, and the car wasn't mine. The car was impounded and I didn't have the money to get it out. That put a kibosh on it … and three days later my bike got stolen."

ZF-7481: Zend_Filter_HtmlEntities legacy constructor is not handled properly
The updated Zend_Filter_HtmlEntities constructor to favor a single options array does not translate the deprecated constructor call properly. While the backwards compatibility code path retrieves the functions argument array (line 67) it does not make any use of it (lines 68 and 70), causing a notice to be emitted and resulting in ignoring the passed in charset argument.
Patch to fix replace the $options in lines 68 and 70 with $argv.
Fixed with r17808

For a while it seemed as if every Regency romance I read had the heroine nursing the hero after a carriage accident, including Carla Kelly's
Libby's London Merchant
(a great, great book). I'll check my reading log for some other titles and will post when I find them.

Dancing on Coals by Ellen O'Connoll....loved, loved, loved this book! Heroine is running from an abusive family and hides at hero's ranch. When family catches up to her, they force her to marry him and then beat the hero almost to death (trying to make her a bride and a widow in the same day). She must nurse him back to health. This is such an excellent book. Happy reading!
the description you gave is for
Eyes of Silver,Eyes of Gold
. Having said that
Dancing on Coals
also has a section where the hero is shot and has his arm broken in several places, needing the heroine to nurse him back to health.
A favourite romance of mine with the theme of sick hero is Penelope Williamson's
The Outsider
- it has a B+ review at AAR and is a wonderful tale of love and redemption.

Three more. The back cover information is first, with comments from my reading journal in italics. Note that the hero nurses the heroine in the first book listed below:
Prospero's Daughter
by Nancy Butler
Repaying a debt of honor by helping the illustrious General Sir Janus Palfry write his memoirs, Morgan Pearce must leave London behind. And though he's not happy about venturing out to the officer's country estate, the dashing rogue canot deny the creature comforts of Palfry Park or his instant attraction to a mysterious woman in a Bath chair. Recovering from a carriage accident that took the lives of her parents, neglected by her uncle's family, Miranda Runyon spends her time alone...until Morgan enters her life. At first, Miranda rebuffs his advances. But when Morgan's attentions begin to transform Miranda in both body and soul, she risks her heart.
A lovely book. Tightly plotted, excellent characterizations, a definite Pygmalion/Galatea story.
To Wed a Scandalous Spy
by Celeste Bradley
Willa Trent was an orphan, raised by a local, somewhat odd family in the country, who want nothing but the best for their girl. So when she drags home the unconscious man she accidently hit with a slingshot, they arrange a hasty marriage and pack the couple off with best wishes. Armed with a groggy husband and a new future, Willa's pie-eyed optimism has no limits, until she discovers the secret, dangerous world of Nathaniel Stonewell, Earl of Reardon, a.k.a. Lord Treason. Though Nathaniel is reviled by most of England for his devious plot against the Crown, he is in reality a member of an elite cadre of secret royal defenders on a daring undercover mission. He must keep his secrets at all costs, esecially from Willa.
Liked both Willa and Nathaniel, and the book has a lovely sense of humor.
An Affair of Honor
by Candice Hern
Meg Ashburton was a disaster her first Season in London, a tall and awkward ugly duckling out of her depth in the social swim. Her only moment of delight was a brief dance in the arms of the dazzling Colin Herriot, Viscount Sedgewick. Since then Meg blossomed into a regal beauty. In an even more starling turnabout, the superb Sedgewick now lies bedbound in Meg's country manor, recovering from a curricle accident.
The accident, however, was no accident, and I guessed the villain the moment he entered the story. The book is not bad, and has a great opening chapter, but I somehow didn't care enough about it to finish. Also by chance happened to read two books in a row about bedbound heroes nursed by heroines who think they've met angels when they first see the heroine.
And I second msaggie's recommendation of Penelope Williamson's
The Outsider
-- an outstanding book.

Slightly Sinful by Mary Balogh: Hero is shot and knocked unconscious, heroine finds him and nurses him back to health)
Simply Love by Mary Balogh: Hero has already healed from physical injuries (he's missing his right arm and eye) but is still suffering from emotional injuries that heroine helps heal.
To Beguile a Beast by Elizabeth Hoyt: Hero has already recovered from physical injuries but is still suffering from emotional injuries which heroine helps heal.
Flowers From the Storm by Laura Kinsale: A definitely must read for this theme. Hero suffers stroke and is confined against his will to mental institution, heroine finds him there and helps him heal.
All About Love by Stephanie Laurens: It's not a major focus of the book but the books starts with the heroine helping the hero to recover from a head injury.

text: May 29, 2013 10:23 Mykia Jovan spreads soulful, eclectic style throughout the Big Easy Mykia Jovan spreads soulful, eclectic style throughout the Big Easy Mykia Jovan Mykia Jovan Mykia Jovan Allison Taylor| Special to theadvocate.com April 30, 2013; 7:32 p.m. Comments In a time when most celebrities find it difficult to be honest, New Orleans native Mykia Jovan is a refreshing change of pace. Although she found nothing extraordinary about herself when she was younger, it was music's ability to bring people together that made her happy. "Growing up, my mother was a youth pastor, and I was the praise leader," Jovan said. "I didn't necessarily display any exceptional talent, but at a young age, I found fulfillment in uniting people in song." Jovan pursued acting at Eleanor McMain High School and continued her training at the New Orleans Center for Creative Arts (NOCCA), where she was always surrounded by music. There she would write poetry on bus tickets and other scraps of paper. "When my musician friends would play around after school, I'd pull out my notes and whisper the words searching for a melody," Jovan said. "It wasn't until I was required to sing a piece for an audition that I suspected I was good enough. The reaction I received from the panel that initially intimidated me was euphoric, and I wanted to feel it again, so I just kept singing." With a voice so unique it is impossible to classify, Jovan has given up on being tied to one genre, opting to entertain her audiences with an eclectic set during live shows. "I am a Libra, so I can be indecisive, and I have trouble committing to a certain image," Jovan said. "I've divorced myself from trying to consistently fit into any genre." When Jovan steps up to the microphone, her voice is a perfect medley of blues, jazz, soul and funk, but she initially found it difficult to reconcile the voice in her head with the sound that came out. "For years, I hated my voice," Jovan said. "I would hear a big powerhouse voice in my head, but this faint sigh would come out, and it frustrated me. Tim Burns' documentary "Jazz" was screened at NOCCA and featured Billie Holiday. When I heard her, it felt like seeing a familiar face in a crowded room. I had finally heard someone that sounded like me. She was my angel — a musical mentor. She assured me that it was OK to be different and raw." Jovan's musical influences are as varied as her sound and include greats like Nina Simone, Nat King Cole, Phyllis Hyman, Bjork and Jeff Buckley. "Gospel is my foundation, and jazz is my first love, so I am heavily influenced by artists who have conviction and honesty in their voice with elegant execution," Jovan said. "Lena Horne, Ella Fitzgerald, Marvin Gaye, Erykah Badu, Yael Naim and Sade. These artists shaped me." Music is not just a way to unite people for Jovan. She has used music and its healing qualities to jump some of the toughest hurdles in her life. "My favorite songs to perform have been 'If I Only Had a Brain' and 'Somewhere Over the Rainbow' from 'The Wizard of Oz,'" Jovan said. "I've battled depression and anxiety since I was a child, and the scarecrow's song helped me make light of a psychosomatic stress syndrome that manifested in high school. Dorothy's song was the audition piece, and that got me started. It encompasses all of my hopes and dreams." Not a trained vocalist, Jovan admits there was trepidation in just being the singer she is, instead of the one some people wanted her to be. "I am not an entertainer, I am a storyteller so the pressure to convince the audience they should listen goes away," Jovan said. "I am not singing at them. I am sharing with them." Jovan dreams of not only sharing her experiences with her audience and fans, but also sharing with those who struggle with the issues she continues to overcome. "I would like to eventually have an acting workshop targeted to build confidence in people with low self-esteem," Jovan said. "I have a special interest in kids that have been emotionally and physically abused, because it truly shapes how they see themselves as an adult. So if I can get to them early through exercises that allow them to escape and encourage self reflection, they can equip themselves to confront things in life confidently. A lot of my challenges stem from waiting later in life to deal with past hurt, so if I can save them some time it would be an honor." Jovan is currently working on an album of standards called "Songs for Sunday." Fans can expect soulful, atmospheric pop with a heavy nod to jazz. "Lyrically, fans will be amused, touched and at times, uneasy," Jovan promised. "I'm pretty stoked to finally get it out." Mykia Jovan regularly performs around New Orleans. Her upcoming performances are below. For more information visit her website at http://mykiajovan.com/ Performance schedule: - Howling Wolf on Tuesday, April 30 at 9 p.m. - House of Blues Foundation Room on Wednesday, May 1 at 7 p.m. - Bullets Sports Bar on Wednesday, May 1 at 10 p.m. - Vaughan's Lounge on Thursday, May 2 at 10 p.m. - The Little Gem Saloon on Friday, May 3 at 9 p.m. Get The Advocate in your inbox Subscribe

I've just installed KDE on my Ubuntu 12.04 (sudo apt-get install kde-full).
Normally I use Gnome (not Unity), but after installation of KDE i see that the rendering was changed. Everything looks like it was rendered by QT, not GTK.
So my question is how to check which rendering engine is being used (QT or GTK)? And how to change it?

3 Ways Foods Like This Can Be Harmful...
Many people suffer from medical ailments because they were never taught about their bodies' nutritional requirements. We eat entirely too many low-nutrient foods, which gives us excessive calories without enough nutrients. Our nutrient-deprived body then craves more food, and the availability of calorie-rich, low-nutrient foods enables us to eat ourselves to death. A diet based on milk, meats, cheese, pasta, bread, fried foods, and sugar-filled snacks and drinks lays the groundwork for obesity, cancer, heart disease, diabetes, digestive disorders, and autoimmune illnesses.
- They are high in disease-promoting substances that undermine our health.
- The more unhealthy foods we eat, the less health-promoting, plant-based foods we will eat.
- Consuming calories without the presence of antioxidant vitamins and phytochemicals leads to a build-up of waste products in our cells because the body can't remove normal cellular wastes without nutrients. The cells don't have the raw materials needed for optimal or normal function. The lack in some substances and the excess in others age us prematurely and cause disease.
Foods that are refined, including chips, cookies, bread, and pasta, lose a dramatic amount of their nutrients in the refinement process. Plus, the process that browns foods and turns a grain into a baked flake or chip creates acrylamides—carcinogens that make these foods even more harmful. These processed foods are not only nutrient-poor, but they also contain elements that contribute to our health problems. They are typically high in salt, chemical food additives, trans fats, MSG, sodium nitrate, and other unhealthy ingredients.
This is an excerpt from Dr. Fuhrman's book Eat For Health.

JAMA Editors May Ban Authors Who Hide Financial Ties
Amid revelations that Merck employed ghost-writers on dozens of published Vioxx studies and that a company-funded review allegedly manipulated data to hide the drug's dangers, the editors of the Journal of the American Medical Association last week called for steeper penalties on authors who fail to disclose conflicts of interest, hide or manipulate data, or claim to have done work actually done by others. The proposed penalties ranged from requiring public letters of apology to a ban on publishing in the journal. "When integrity in medical science or practice is impugned or threatened—such as by the influence of industry—patients, clinicians, and researchers are all at risk for harm, and public trust in research is jeopardized," editor-in-chief Catherine DeAngelis and deputy editor Phil Fontanarosa wrote. The editorial marks a hardening attitude by some journal editors toward repeated failures by scientists to reveal their financial ties to industry (see this week's Cheers and Jeers below). In August 2006, DeAngelis rejected a ban on authors who failed to disclose conflicts of interest, claiming authors would simply seek out other journals. "It cleans our house by messing others," she wrote then.
The shift was triggered by two studies in the latest JAMA, and came just a few weeks after the journal published corrections involving radiologists who failed to disclose their lung cancer screening study had been funded by the tobacco industry. One new study contended that Merck minimized deaths among patients who had been given Vioxx by manipulating pooled data contained in clinical trials involving Alzheimer's and dementia patients. The second article found that Merck employees or a Merck contractor, Scientific Therapeutics, prepared manuscripts and then recruited academic researchers as authors. Despite playing a minimal role, the recruited academics were frequently listed as first or second authors when the articles appeared in print. Both studies relied on documents obtained in court suits. Merck rejected the studies' findings, noting that five of the authors consulted for plaintiff attorneys and a sixth testified against Vioxx before a Senate panel. Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-IA) seized on the latest revelations to demand that Merck and Scientific Therapeutics turn over all documents related to the studies by May 2.
Medical Firms Disclosure Offers Fall Short of Proposed Bill
A dozen of the nation's leading pharmaceutical and medical device companies announced plans last week to disclose financial gifts and grants to physicians. But nearly all stopped short of meeting requirements in legislation that was introduced in Congress earlier this month. At least one company – Schering-Plough Corp. – refused to go along with industry's voluntary efforts. In a letter to the Senate Aging Committee, the company said it has no plans to publish charitable contributions or education grants. Sen. Charles Grassley (R-IA) and Sen. Herb Kohl (D-WI), sponsors of the Center for the Science in the Public Interest- supported Physician Payments Sunshine Act, would require drug and medical device manufacturers to publicly post all gifts and payments to doctors over $25. Although the legislation does not prohibit financial ties between doctors and drug companies, those who do not disclose those payments could be penalized at least $10,000.
Most companies' voluntary programs fell well short of the bill's requirements. Medtronic Inc. and AstraZeneca PLC told Grassley they will post payments for professional meetings and patient groups this summer, but not payments to individual doctors. Merck said that its plan was still being developed, while Amgen and Abbott Laboratories have formed working groups to examine the issue. Only Boston Scientific said it was developing a system to disclose payments to physicians. Zimmer Inc. and Stryker Orthopedics Inc. have reached an out-of-court settlement with the U.S. Justice Department that requires disclosure of physician payments. Watchdog groups described the industry response as inadequate and an attempt to sidetrack the legislation.
BPA Safety Concerns Continue to Grow
The National Toxicology Program (NTP) last week issued a preliminary finding that bisphenol-A (BPA) can lead cancer, hormonal and neurological problems, as well as behavioral changes in animals. The chemical, used in many plastic bottles, food containers, and linings of food cans, has been found in the urine of 93 percent of Americans. "There is some concern for neural and behavioral effects in fetuses, infants and children, at current human exposures," the report noted. However, the draft brief emphasized that more research is needed to truly understand BPA's impact on human health at current concentration levels. In light of the NTP report's conclusions, the House Committee on Energy and Commerce chaired by John Dingell (D-MI), called on the FDA to reconsider the safety of BPA. "These findings of BPA's dangers are based on the totality of research around this chemical," Dingell said. "I hope the FDA is willing to reconsider their position on BPA for the safety of our infants and children." The Canadian government plans to declare BPA as toxic. Wal-mart said that its entire assortment of baby bottles will be free of the material by the early next year; and two major manufacturers, Playtex Infant Care, and Thermo Fisher Scientific said their products will be free of BPA by the end of the year.
FDA Medical Device Panel Issues Conflict of Interest Waivers
The Food and Drug Administration has issued conflict of interest waivers for three members of the Ophthalmic Devices Panel for its meetings later this week. On April 24, the panel will review an implantable miniature telescope (IMT) manufactured by VisionCare Technologies that can be used to correct vision impairment. David Musch, an associate research scientist at the University of Michigan School of the Public Health, received a conflict of interest waiver because the University of Michigan served as a site for a clinical trial of the IMT. Although Musch did not help conduct the study, his supervisor, Paul Lichtor, served as the principal investigator and the university received between $101,001 and $300,000 from VisionCare Technologies. Similarly, Neil Bressler, a professor of ophthalmology at John Hopkins University School of Medicine, received a waiver because his hospital served as a clinical site for the IMT trial and received a grant under $100,000 from the company. On April 25, the panel will discuss post-market feedback of phakic intraocular lenses and laser-assisted in situ keratomilesis (LASIK) surgery. Dale K. Hever, chairman of the Department of Ophthalmology at the Medical College of Wisconsin, received a waiver after taking a speaker's fee of up to $10,000 and consulting for an undisclosed firm involved in the sight-correcting processes.
Odds and Ends
A half dozen consumer groups, including the Center for Science in the Public Interest, Consumers Union, and the Government Accountability Project, sent a strongly-worded protest to the Food and Drug Administration opposing a draft guidance that will govern how industry can promote the off-label use of drugs and devices. The proposal would lower the criteria and drop agency review of journal reprints on off-label uses that could be given doctors by drug and medical device industry salespeople . . . . Sen. Herb Kohl (D-WI) and Sen. Robert Bennett (R-UT) agreed last Tuesday at a Senate Appropriations subcommittee hearing that the Food and Drug Administration needs more funding. The Bush Administration has proposed increasing the agency budget for next year by only 3 percent, which FDA commissioner Andrew C. von Eschenbach, said would not even cover increased costs . . . . Organon failed to inform the FDA and the public about potentially fatal side effect of it neuromuscular blocking agent, Raplon, which was taken off the market in March 2001. Jeffrey Feldstein, the company's associate director of medical services for antithrombotics, leveled the charges in a lawsuit filed in the New Jersey federal court against Organon and Schering-Plough, which acquired the company . . . . House Energy and Commerce Committee chairman John Dingell (D-MI) is wondering if Merck and Schering-Plough made up minutes of a November 2007 meeting of medical advisers called to discuss the cholesterol medication, Vytorin. The minutes in question were actually written in December 2007 and have been contradicted by one of the meeting's attendees, James Stein, a University of Wisconsin professor . . . . The British Medical Journal reported last week that Andrew Wakefield, the doctor behind the late 1990s collapse of public confidence in measles, mumps, and rubella vaccine, will soon go before a General Medical Council fitness-to-practice panel. The doctor, along with the two other authors of a 1998 Lancet study on inflammatory bowel disease and autism, is accused of professional misconduct for falsifying data . . . . The EPA's Inspector General (IG) is now investigating the agency's much criticized decision to remove Deborah Rice from a Maine scientific peer review panel at the behest of the chemical industry trade group, the American Chemistry Council. The investigation was triggered by a letter from the EPA's Deputy Administrator asking the IG to determine if Rice removal was consistent with existing federal laws and guidelines. The panel was reviewing the safety decabrominated diphenyl ether, a common flame retardant . . . . Leaders of the American College of Occupational and Environmental Medicine are speaking out against industry pressure to underreport workplace injuries, and have scheduled a meeting with top officials at the Occupational Safety and Health Administration next month to press their concerns, the Charlotte Observer reported.

On that same trip to Target I found these Caramel Apple Milky Way minis. This find took me completely by surprise, since I hadn't heard any announcement by Mars nor had seen any mention of them on fellow candy blogs. This was a new candy gem that I had found completely on my own, which I will admit, makes it more exciting. I immediately snatched up a bag and knew they'd be an excellent new limited edition Halloween candy to review for my readers.
Thankfully these came in a big bad of minis, because they're so much easier to share that way. The bag is a delightful apple red, with an image of a caramel apple on the side with caramel ripples from a opened Milky Way bar making the "Caramel Apple" wording on the bottom. The minis have the pretty red stripe belting the wrapper on the minis. Opening one up, you can immediately smell the caramel apple. It's quite impressive actually how they do get the aroma spot on.
The flavor starts off sweet, with the first flavor you notice is definitely apple. It's a strange flavor, mainly because it's not just apple. It's apple cinnamon, like it's a packet of instant hot cider mix. This was unexpected on my part. I'm guessing the apple flavor is coming from both the caramel and the nougat filling, as the nougat filling is bright white and isn't the same as classic Milky Way. Once the apple flavor subsides some, the caramel flavor popes through with great buttery flavors. I'm surprised because you really don't taste much chocolate in this Milky Way, despite there's still a chocolate coating. On the whole it does indeed convey the flavor of a caramel apple, but the apple is "off" because of the addition of the cinnamon element. It's a little strange, but still tasty.
My fiance loved these way more than I did. I thought they were good, but I didn't really eat any beyond the few I needed for the review. My fiance however kept eating them and even grabbed a few to add to his lunch at work. Point being, there are certainly worth a try.

Comments: Great glove, I love the contoured fit a well as the memory foam inside the glove. Everything seems perfect but for some reason my pair is balling up in the palm like lint not sure if i got a lemon or if its supposed to be like that.
From: Brandon

From: Stephen, CA
Comments: Very nice bauer. Bought these to replace my x60's and i like these a heck of alot better. They offer more protection and are snugger to my hands which gives me great feel for my stick and the puck. Also the palm material is very strong and durable.
From: Bailey, GA

From: Marcus, Burnaby, Canada
Comments: These are extremely comfortable. They are moisture wicking and the fit is perfect. Best glove ever
From: Kyle, CA
Comments: Bought these as a replacement for my Reebok 4 roll type gloves. Bauer quality has been obvious from the first use. They are lighter, snugger and provide reassurance with regards protection. Have tried numerous manufactures of gloves, to date these are the best.
From: Jim, Scotland, UK
Comments: I've had a pair for 8 months, playing 1-2 games each week. These gloves have been reasonably durable, with no problems. I tried on many gloves and loved the fit, even compared to the One 80s. No complaints.
From: Brian, San Diego, CA
Comments: These gloves not only feel fantastic but also are super durable. The Contoured fit allows you to have great dexterity and feel in your fingers and palms which still having enough room around the wrists for mobility. The reinforced palms and thumb make this glove last for a very long time. I play 3-5 games a week and have had these gloves for over 6 months. So far, there is visible wear in the palm and thumb but all of the seams are intact and still no full blown holes yet. Best pair of gloves I've ever purchased.
From: Rob, San Jose, CA
Comments: I play D5 beer league hockey (lowest rec hockey skill level we have locally) twice a week and an occasion pick-up game for a 3rd day. I purchased these gloves back in March of this year (2012). About two months ago, the seam on one of the index finger pads started to come apart. This week, I noticed another seam on the outside of my hand below the pinky starting to unravel as well. These gloves have been great for protection and feel, but the workmanship is poor. I expected a set of $150 gloves to last me a few years at least before they start to fall apart, not 6 months. I love these gloves, but will replace them with another brand when they wear out.
From: Jonathon, San Diego
Comments: These gloves are fantastic! Prior to these, I was wearing Bauer 4-Rolls. Great gloves, but a little short. So, I actually felt a little vulnerable to slashes. Plus, with just a little contact, the gloves actually fell off a couple times. A little too short and loose for my liking. So...enter the Supreme Total One gloves. I had never worn a contoured glove before. Wow - what a difference! Very form fitting and snug without being tight. The memory foam isn't just marketing hype either - these gloves get more comfortable every time I wear them. They have all the protection you need, but aren't restrictive in the least. Durability, protection, performance and comfort - everything I could ask for and more. I'm VERY happy with this purchase. WELL worth the money!
From: Matt, IA
Comments: Nice and form fitting compared to my old Bauer 4-rolls which were a traditional fit. With addition with the memory foam along with the Thermo Max liner throughout the back of the whole hand, the TotalOne gloves are one of the most comfortable gloves I've had. Great protection with the Max Sorb technology. The Nubuck palm has a great feel for the stick and has not balled up inside after three months of wear. Overall great gloves and would recommend to others.
From: Leo
Comments:Best glove EVER!! I have tried almost every make and model of hockey glove and this is by far the best fitting glove on the market today!!
From: Lee
Comments:i have had the t1s since they first came out... the palms on the inside feel very crunchy and almost like the nubuck is "balling" up on the inside other than that they are amazing
Comments: Bought these as a replacement for my Reebok 4 roll type gloves.
Bauer quality has been obvious from the first use. They are lighter, snugger and provide reassurance with regards protection.

desmopressin - injection, DDAVP
GENERIC NAME: DESMOPRESSIN - INJECTION (dess-mow-PRESS-in)
Medication Uses | How To Use | Side Effects | Precautions | Drug Interactions | Overdose | Notes | Missed Dose | Storage
USES: Desmopressin is used to control the amount of urine your kidneys make. Normally, the amount of urine you make is controlled by a certain substance in the body called vasopressin. In people who have "water diabetes" (diabetes insipidus) or certain kinds of head injury or brain surgery, the body does not make enough vasopressin. Desmopressin is a man-made form of vasopressin and is used to replace a low level of vasopressin. This medication helps to control increased thirst and too much urination due to these conditions, and helps prevent dehydration.Desmopressin is also used to control bleeding caused by surgery or injuries in people with certain bleeding problems (hemophilia A, type 1 von Willebrand's disease). It works by helping the body with normal blood clotting.

Peptide Drugs Are Not Only Diverse...
Constant Innovation and Translation of Scientific...
Scientific Misconduct Is Jeopardizing the Quality...
Three-Dimensional Cell Culture Has Two Dimensions,...
NIH's National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) has awarded SeraCare Life Sciences a new, potentially $17.6 million five-year contract to advise on the collection, processing, and storage of biosamples. The new NHLBI agreement replaces a contract which expired at the end of April.
SeraCare says it will also continue to acquire, store, and distribute biospecimens to the scientific community for use in research on transfusion-transmitted diseases and other blood, cardiovascular, and respiratory disorders.
SeraCare currently stores and manages over 15 million biological samples for government and commercial customers, notes Susan Vogt, president and CEO. "Our relationship with the NHLBI has been in place for more than 12 years, and we are pleased to continue this important strategic collaboration." The firm's product pipeline includes diagnostic controls, plasma-derived reagents and molecular biomarkers, biobanking, and contract research services. Just last week SeraCare announced the addition of differentiated Cryo-M human monocytes to its AccuCell™ peripheral blood mononuclear cell portfolio. In March the firm launched its Worldwide HIV Performance Panel, representing a group of HIV-positive plasma samples with diverse variants of HIV for use in evaluating HIV assays against multiple strains of the virus.

No 2011 NFL season?
No 2011 NBA season?
No problem for the MLB. Should there be no 2011 NFL or NBA seasons due to a lockout (I shudder at the thought), baseball could come out as the biggest winner.
"If they want to take two lessons from baseball, fans lose a lot when you don't play and they kind of forget and it takes a long time to get back. Fortunately enough, we've been able to get back to that point," said two-time World Series champion David Eckstein. "We're up for a contract renegotiation also this year and it's vital to make sure that we get that in play. If we can get that signed, I would see baseball going to the forefront once again and being the national pastime once again if those two sports decide to lockout and not play."
You'll recall the last baseball lockout came in 1994 and saw the cancellation of the World Series. Baseball critics say this move devastated the sport's fan base during a critical time when the NFL and NBA's popularity continued to spike.
I highly doubt the NFL will take a hit in the fan base, but the NBA, perhaps, is more vulnerable to a potential lockout.
"I would love for people to turn their attention to baseball if their current NBA or NFL fans," said Washington Nationals hitting coach Rick Eckstein.
So what do you think sports fans? Would baseball's fan base grow should the NBA and NFL lockout in 2011?
